Extend Drift on 400.

The East Caledonia has an unusually
complete and efficient plant, which in
cludes compressor, pumps, hoist, pow
er steel sharpener and in fact every
thing necessary in the way of tools
and equipment. If this arrangement
can be made, and it is said that the
officers of the East Caledonia com
pany are favorably disposed to it, the
east drift on the 400 level will be ex-
tended into the Hill company's ground,
attaining a depth or 900 feet from the
surface. III securing the East Gale
donia the Hill company would have a
desirable outlet accessible to the road
between Wardner and Kellogg. and the
prospect Of developing an important
ore shoot on that level is regarded as
highly favorable.

DEVELOP HILL THROUGH
EAST CALEDONIA SHAFT
REPAIR HILL TUNNEL TO PER-
NIT EXAMINATION BY MIN
ING ENGINEER.

Work that promises to lead to an
important development enterprise near
Wardner has for some time been quiet
ly going on at the property of the Hill
Mining & Milling company. Several
months ago w. c. Stratton, II. b. Sax
ton and others of this city secured an
option on a majority of the stock of
the Hill company This property lies
east of and joins the East Caledonia
and is on the same vein, which is be-
lieved to be a continuation of the vein
made famous by the Stewart and Cal
edonia mines. 1t was this theory that
induced the East Caledonia company
to make a large expenditure for equip
ment and development. A shaft was
sunk 900 feet and the vein explored on
various levels disclosing considerable
ore but not in commercial qualities
Work was finally suspended on ac
count of the general mining depres-
sion. II is said that the best showing
of ore was found on the 400 level drift
ing east. which was extended well out
toward the Hill ground.
May Lease East Caledonia.
In the meantime the Hill company
drove a tunnel some 1900 feet in
length. cutting the vein at a depth of
about 200 feet. This vein is reported
to carry substantial values in lead and
silver and to have all the characteris-
tics of the Caledonia vein. This tun-
mel passes through much soft and
sloughy ground, and when the option
was secured was practically closed up.
Since that time men have been en-
gagged in cleaning it out and retim-
bering in order to have an examina-
ton made by an engineer. This work
is expected to be completed this week,
when the examination will be made
with the view to determining develop
ment plans. Mr.. Stratton states that
the matter of securing a lease of the
plant and workings of the East Gale
donia is under consideration, and if the
report of the engineer is favorable it
is hoped that this plan can be carried

: right, the committee reached an ami
cable disagreement
Discovery.
On the first point the report states:
( "One section OF the committee believes
that the need for location prior to dis
covery is more apparent than real;
that practically any ground in min
ing region will show sufficient color
TO discovery to justify location as at
present made; and that furthermore.
public opinion gives apparently suffi-
cient protection to any locator while
actually doing work, irrespective OF
the validity of his discovery
Another section of the committee
feels that there is need both for loca-
ton and for patent of ground which,
while not necessarily of direct value
for its mineral content, is needed for
protection and exploitation of known
deposits, as we'll as for more certain
title to ground of probable but I'M
demonstrated mineral content of po-
tential value.
ENtralateraI Rights.
On the second point the report
states: with regard to the abolition
of the extralateral right. your commit
tee finds itself unable to report an
unanimous conclusion. Most of us ad- |
NIT that for new country the square i,
location with vertical boundaries is
preferable although certain members
of wide experience and large interests
hold the opposite view.
LAS to whether at this late date it
is desirable to change the law we are
still more divided. We do agree. how
ever that should the extralateral right
be abolished. then the provisions of
the British Columbia law should be
followed and that claims 1900 feet
square should be allowed laid out with
reference to the lode and not to the
cardinal points"
AS to the other points of the pro-
posed law the committee in effect feels
that they are either negligible or de-
pendent on clauses discussed above
