Assayer and Mining Engineer, Kamloops, B.C. THE POTHOOK MINE. The development of the Pothook Mine is being watched with int Brest by mining men throughout the Province. The property, however, will attract still further attention when its leading features are better known, and as the property possesses characteristics dissimilar to those possessed by any developed or partly developed mineral claim in B.C., a a description of these characteristics and of the development of the property will perhaps repay perusal. The group of claims composing the Pothook property is a large one, and is made up of five full claims— four claims varying from 33 to 45 acres in size and five fractions located during survey. The whole of the ground comprises an . area of 425 acres. The property is situated on the plateau at the foot of the west slope of Sugar Loaf Mountain forming the western the Coal Hill camp. v The chief claims were located in September, 189*5, during the excitement following the first discovery of beavily copper-stained rock on Coal Hill. Men were engaged for about a year cross-cutting and sinking on these big showings of copper-stained rock, and many big pieces of native copper were discovered, to say nothing of the stringers of copper glance and bornite. The work meanwhile was sufficient to demonstrate that considerable depth was needed to prove the value of these showings, but that, nevertheless, the chances were most favorable for the investment of capital, in the making of more than one big mine. In November, 1797, the claims now forming the Pothook group were taken up under a working bond by Mr. H. Croft of Victoria, and systematic development work was commenced under the direction of Mr. Ashby. Extensive surface work, in the form of a series of big crosscuts and a few trial shafts, was first done to sup plement the work carried on by the original owners. This proved the presence of a very large vein, composed of a rather soft schistone veinstuff, resembling chiefly a very much altered diorite, but containing less silica, and some talc, lying between a foot wall of a fine granitoid rock and a hanging-wall of diorite. The vein stuff was heavily copper- stained and was interspersed irregularly with native copper and copper glance. This series of crosscuts aggregate in length 560 feet, showing up the vein for a distance of over 5,000 feet with a width of over 350 feet. A double compartment shaft, was commenced on the extension .of | Pothook claim and sinking and cross cutting has progressed continuously since, with thé exception of a short closing down this spring for the erection of a new shaft-house and power-hoisting gear. A horse- - winze was installed in May, 1898, and in the fall of that year the pre - . perty passed into the hands of the Scottish Copper Mines Syndicate of B.C., Ltd. Liability, of which Mr. Croft is the local director. The mine buildings which have been erected as occasion required now consist of the shaft-house, 36x None but the Purest Drugs used in dispensing at KAMLOOPS MINING GAZETTE. 40 ; blacksmith's shop, 16x24 ; cook-1 house, 20x28 ; bunkhouse, 16x32 ; manager's office, 18x20; cottage,! 16x24 ; with large' stables and barn, power-house, root houses, etc. They are plain, substantial frame build- the water finds its way to the drainage level of Cherry Creek and Kamloops Lake. A good proportion ot the water in the workings gets away through the vein, and very little is lifted. Under these condi- ings, the cook-house and bunk-1 tions of a soft, easily decomposed house being large, airy comfortable vein material, the continuous water places. Mr. Ashby believes in look- j action and the certain leaching out ing after the creature comforts of of some of the copper contents, it is his men, and is deservedly popular ; | evident that the full values will not while he in turn says that his men j are as good as can be found in the | Province. Mr. Ashby's close atten- j tionto their well-being creates a re- ! be realize t until the drainage level is passed, which means a depth of over 500 feet. Meanwhile there is a notable h iprovemfent in values sponsive willingness and interest on I and extent of ore, as evidenced by the part of the miners that make comparison of the lower with the matters work smoothly and attains upper level. The first cross-cut the the highest efficiency and economy À level was commenced at a depth for the company.

The vein stuff is apparently in very much altered or imperfect diorite. It v. is almost amorphous in character, very soft and very easy to work, and at a depth of 330 feet it is no harder. Even at this "depth, it is evidently altered by decomposition, due to infiltration of water. This vein appears to be the channel by which curs rather unevenly distributed all the way in the south crosscut and for 100 feet from the shaft. in the north crosscut, along with a little glance. In the south crosscut a 3- foot chute reticulated with veins of bornite was met 60 feet from the shaft, and a little further a 4-foot band, carrying 3 per cent, native copper, then native copper in vary- tn THE KAMLOOPS DRUG STORE. "-'Wgr*' IP r KAMLOOPS MINING GAZEJEffEy; ing quantities for 100 feet, when a band of quartzite of considerable width was met, 3 feet of which carried copper pyrites averaging 5.8 per cent, in copper and $3.60 values in gold and silver. At 212 feet a rich band of native copper was met, and the change when this was gone through indicates that the vein was passed through. This last band was 17 feet wide, and the native copper was very uniform throughout. A sample taken across the first foot yielded 3.25 per cent, of copper, a sample from the last foot containing also some finely distributed copper glance, which assayed 7 per cent, copper, and a sample taken all across the 17 feet assayed 4.55 per cent, in copper and $3 in gold and silver. A drift was made a^ong the north side of this band, and samples taken from the vein stuff as it came out gave the same values as the first assay over a distance of 60 feet. A second crosscut was then made and in addition to the native copper an irregular mass of several feet of bornite was encountered. This occurrence of a large band carrying good values in native copper and bornite was very gratifying to the management and the company. The drift of the vein and these bands is to the south, that is, away from the shaft, and the C level, at a depth of 250 feet, is not yet sufficiently advanced to meet this 17-foot band, hut the showing for the 230 feet attained is an improvement on the B level. Twenty-five feet from the shaft a band of 4 feet carrying copper pyrites was met ; at 80 feet a 12- foot band carrying veins of bornite, native coppered some fine copper - glance ; at 227 feet the same, quartzite that was noticed on the B level was met and was much wider. At the time of writing the fase/. i&*afôty- in the quartzite, which earwigs; a good amount of copper pvrites, 27 feet of this assaying 4 per cent, of copper, with $3.50 in gold and giQsfQfc* The D level, at a depth of 325 feet, is only in 80 feet from the shaft,, and.so far carries the same characteristics as the upper ones. A considerable amount of native copper has been met. On the (Jump^t the mine there is now 700 to 8,00 tons of lowïgpaçteï ore, carrying 1.5 to 2 per cent, native copper, with a small proportion of coppor pyrites and copper glance, and carrying values of $3 per ton in gold and silver and 25 to 30 tons of picked high-grade ore. The low- grade ore . is practically a run of mine ore, chiefly, from the upper levels. The material from the lower lavels is considerably higher in copper than the average of the dump, but taking this.average for our basis of calculation, we shall see that this immense mass of low-grade ore is sufficiently valuable to yield a good profit when concentrated. Experiments with sample^ of the ore show that it will concentrate perfectly and cheaply, and the gold and silver values are saved with the concen- |rajtej^r. Its q^nc<en|^ting ratio is ten to one or a little over. This will yield concentrates,; jC^eryjags. about 20 per cent, copper, worth at smelter price $40 per ton, possibly more, and $30 per ton gold and silver values. The remarkable, jease with which this soft ore can be mmesL: md oiushed reduces the costs of mining and concentrating to a very low figure. It is esthnate(|t^.^;$$,JtO ;v per ton will cover all mining exf^s-:.^ ses; but allowing $3, -ifaok ton of Assayers' and ProspectQf^^gPplieijgfe Freight and Smelter treatment costs at present $12.50 per ton, leaving a balance of $27.50 profit per ton of No stoping has been done on the richer bands, and no allowance has been made for the irregular tenti- cular bodies of high-grade ore which are evidently distributed through the mass of the vein. When ore is being taken out in quantity from richer bands and the high-gjade ore accounted for, the value of the run of mine ore will be at least doubled. The low-grade ore bodies are now shown 11 have sufficient size to warrant thf erection of a larger plant and the establishment of concentration wot ks on a large scale. As soon s as this ii accomplished the Pothook should take rank among the mines working large bodies of low-grade ore which not infrequently pay very handsome dividends. A complete new plant for the mine is now ordered and is xpected to be in position by October. This plant will consist of à 50 horse-power hoisting engine, a 60 horse-power air com >ressor and five machine dril: -. When this plant is in place, the staff of men will be largely in creased and sinking and cross-cutting at lower levels will proceed more rapidly. A tramway route to the selected concentrator site adjoining the railway track and the Thompson River has been surveyed, and the grade is easy and regular. The dis- -tnee is two and one-half miles, and the tramway will be of the gravity type—inexpensive to o 7.struct. It is expected to com plete the concentration works by next soring, and by that time the e should be a large supply of ore at the mine, and a large amount blocked out below ground. A remarkable resemblance of the Pothook vein to some of the native copper deposits of Lake Superior will he noticed, but I think this is the first deposit of its kind to be developed in British C >lumbia. In conclusion I desire to add a word of praise in respect to the sound business-like policy pursued by the management of the Pothook mine. All the money spent has been spent as far as possible in the under-ground development, on buildings and other accessories to development, these being added only as required. Now that the future of the property is more or less proved, the question of tramways and treatment can be advantageously considered. The system of developing a property before equipping it is not so general as it should be, unfortunately for Kamloops camp and poss- iblv others. Some engineers are so full of schemes for building roads, tramwtys and locating impossible smelter sites, that mine development is often neglected, and a good property with facilities for treating and handling ore is closed down for lack of funds before the ore is even blocked out. In the Pothook we have a good example of "how to do it properly," and the manner in which the mine has been system-, atically developed reflects great credit on th( business capacity of Mr. Ashby, the auperintendent of the mine, and of Mr. Croft, the company's resident d rector. Meanwhile an earnest effort is being made in Kamloops at the pre; ent time to conduct mining enterprise in this camp on a more business-like basis—a consummation devoutely to be wished. B. C.

The Mountain View was visited during the week and it was noticeable how well the property is showing up with the work done. Instead of wasting time and money on sinking shafts, going nowhere in particular, a series of deep crosscuts have been made, vvhich will enable the property to be easily examined. The surface showings are very fine and extensive. Good specimens of copper stained rock and copper pyrites are to be seen near the surface. Another fea.ure is the presence of copper pyrites in magnetite. Mr. Donald Simpson has made a L" fine discovery up Cherry Creek, a bout 12 miles south of Mr. Hughes. ; The vein stuff is quartz, carrying j gold values. The country rock is dioritic schist, the vein is beauti- | fully formed. Mr. Simpson has taken out a man with him to help develop his claim.

Manager. n KAMLOOPS MINING GAZETTE. Ai the existence of a massive vein of iron, three or four hundred feet in width, and has been trrced for a long distance. The vein stuff contains copper pyrites, varying from 10 to 13 per cent, of metal, with several dollars in both gold and silver values. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 45 feet, it is well timbered and has a fine showing of ore on the bottom. A considerable amount of ore from this shaft is to be seen on the dump. Messrs. Angus and Mitchell have property that is of considerable interest and value if it can reach the proper market. The ore which is molybdenite is generally found associated with copper veins, but is usually limited to the first twenty feet or so from the surface. The samples from these claims, which are at Grande Prairie, are exceedingly fine, but the property is not yet sufficiently developed. Drifting on the vein has commenced on the Noonday àt a depth of over a hundred feet. Some fine looking quartz has been brought to the surface. As soon as the drift is in some distance, samples will be taken every now and then for assaying. This will enable the owners to arrive at a close estimation of the value of their property. This it should be remembered is a free gold proposition. /i The Gordon group at Harper's / Camp is advancing to the shipping 1 stage and are now sacking some of y their gold and silver ore for ship- j ment to Trail. Work is being done on the Ade laide fraction, adjoining the group. Truth There seems to be.hope, for the Lillooet district yet, as eastern capitalists have secured some of the best properties in Cayoosh Creek, and are developing them, notably the Ample, where some work was done long ago by that wonderfully unsuccessful company, the Horne- Payne syndicate. Ihere is no doubt that there are good properties in the district, but the quartz veins roll in and out very suddenly as veins in slate often do, and the slate itself is sometimes of more value than the quartz. This renders careful oversight of the work most necessary. The district, however, has the advantage of good waterpower and the steepness of the mountains will obviate the necessity of sinking in most cases. It is only a matter of time when the heart of that mining district will be opened by a railroad coming in either along the Fraser from Lytton or up the valley of Anderson river from the head of Harrison Lake. There is some activity around Lytton where a large dredge is being built for Coble-dick & Co. It is to be hoped that it will be more successful than most of the dredges employed in trying to save gold from the Fraser. It is noteworthy that the most successful of these machines is one which was built at Welland and operates at North Bend. There are, however, many difficulties- in the way of dredgers in the Fraser.
