REPAIRING A SPECIALTY. VERNON, B. U BOUNDARY MINES THE COPPER CLAIM AND THE ENTERPRISE. Immense llodtes of Copper Ore on These Claims- Over a Quarter of a Million In Sight on the Copper Immense Udges and High Grade Ore Work Going Merrily on Good Roads to the Camp. After llle hiirtl t.'linili ou lhe miser* alili* trail which led to the Last Chance mine, it tvustpiitc a pleasure In make llie journey to Copper camp over a comparatively good road, which,thanks In the efforts nf Mr. J. E. Buss, llie agent for Messrs. Farrell k Midgeun, hus heen recently constructed from Mr. land's ranch tu the claims in the Copper camp, Regarding the journey from the point, of view of the picturesque, it leaves little to lie desired, The hills, dollied in a dull haze of smoke, with hits of red color where some low growing shrill), already tinged liy approaching autumn, relieves the gray and green of the luincli grass; llle gnunl outlines against tlie sky, and thegi-iuiness of the solitude wuitld appeal to any one with the smallest possible development, of the a'ilistie faculty, These articles, liow- t'-.er, should not deal wilh Ihe pic* I nicsqtte su miichas with the eminently practical, und scenery, howeyer beautiful, has nothing whatever to do willi mineral claims, So|to proceed: Aimnt two and a half miles west of Boundary creek on I he road one pusses through Deadwood camp, of whicli we hope to speak at some other time. The rich strike liy Messrs. McUlinlock and Morrison, however, is right hy the roadside, and is a subject uf interest to the passer-by j for the remarkable thing ahout it i.s that notwithstanding Unfile! that men were working at road- making some time ago almost on the very spot, no one noticed any indication of the presence of mineral, and it was uol. lill quite recently lhat the rich ore which lies just beneath the surface was exposed. After riding some six miles un the Clipper camp road, one sees a hoard hearing lhe legend, "To the Enterprise," and a hand with the index linger extended points lo the right. Following this direction, ono arrives in a very short time at. an encampment uf canvas tents, I hough here and tliei-e is I he more substantial log house, Within one of the former temporary abodes, we found Mr. Austin Hummer, who very kindly consented to act as guide. When our representative was un tlie road lie met two men, wlm, being asked which claim was the must worth visiting, time being limited, answered; "Well, whatever you do, don't miss seeing the Copper." So to the Copper we went. The sight to lie seen there is truly astonishing—a mountain of copper, There is mil, the writer veritably believes, another such sight in America, Tlie ledge, which can lie traced for, il is said, over 4,000 feet, varies between 50and80feet, uiidevetiinplucesinore, ill width. Some of the ore runt as high as 70 per cent, in copper, unit ussuys have shown from $1(1 to $12 in gold. The wealth of llie claim, however, lies iu the iihuiidiinci'nnd the high average value (between 15 and 20 pet' cent, ull through) of tlie copper. The Copper mine was recorded by Messrs. Austin Hummel- and John Monti!, on ihe 21st November, 1889j il was located two years previously by- Messrs, llowinan anil Leysur, and known as lbe Blue liini, but for some reason or oilier was abandoned. Slnet1 1880 Messrs. Hammer antl Murnn Iiu vi I dime the necessary amount of work to | entitle Ilium Ion Crown grant, whicli lhey obtained on the 7th uf April of I last year. There are now live deep open crosscuts, a liuiuel showingil| I lie ledge fur n length uf 780 feet, nud a shaft Hi feel deep. The ore now in sight is estimated liiboiviirlhaqiiar Ier of n million dollars, The vein, which is kiinwn as a contact, is between denned porphyry and lime wall antl entries eiipper ill Ibe form of red oxide, unlive copper and copper glance, wilh a quartz giiugue. Although the claim i.s mi the market, we believe we ore i-ui-rcct ill staling that I the owners are liy no means in a hurry j to dispose of their property, which one day will be known ns oue of the greatest copper mines iu the world, THE ENTERPMBE. Another claim in Cupper camp un the same ledge as llle Coppermine, is ihe Enterprise, which was recorded on the 31st of August, 1831, by Ewen Keightley, Thus Humphrey nnd Colin McRae, Messrs. Keightly and Humphrey disposed in 1803 nf t heir claim lu Mr. Boss, acting as agent, for Messrs, Farrell nod Midgeun, while Mr. Me- Hue still controls a one-third Interest, The owners Have been for some tune past steadily developing the property, upon which there are now several prospect shafts, and a main shaft which has reached a depth of 80 feet. In all er 20(1 feet of work lias lK*en dune. Tlie No. 1 shaft has been particularly well timbered, and a horse whim is used to hoist the 01*. Mt. Boss is very hopeful that the Enterprise will prove valuable mine, antl development work is steadily going on. Other claims with ure similar to tliat of the Copper claim are lhe Lasl Chance, the King Solomon, the Cup- pet- ({iieen antl others, Imt sufficient has been said tu show that u great future awaits the camp, (and all iiiiii- anions are fuvolatile tu the opinion tliat that time is not far distjinl. AT TRAIL CREEK Mr. Fiwh and the Mines. Mr. Finch, of Spokane, prominently known iu mining circles, visited several uf Hie principal properties in Boundary last week. Ilis expectations, he said, were far exceeded, anil he was particularly astonished at the size of the greal copper ledges in Greenwood. The report that Mr, Finch had some thought if purchasing lhe Knoh Hill and Ironsides was not without foundation nud it was Ihcrefoiedisappointing iu learn lhat no transaction hul taken place, the owners lioldiog lhe properties at a valuation beyond which Mr. Finch would possibly huve bei n prepared to utter | and $10,000 for a prospect, however promising, seems a high liguie, although Hie determination of tlie price of bis properly is nobody's business lint the owner's, yet we trust I hat we will in this Instance be pardoned for saying that the wisdom of the course which the proprietors of llie Knob Kill thought proper to pursue is upeii to question, providing of course they Intend lo find a purchaser anywhere in ilieneai-fiitiii-e. Undoubtedly development will prove ihe Knob Hill aud Ironsides to he aiming the greatest of the copper nod gnld mines of North America, but before this can he proven large sums of money must lie expended upon machinery and labor, nod this, we believe lhe present, owners are not. pit pared to do, Triiile With llriiish Columbia. The Wesl Cuiist Trade, of Tacoma, has llle following item of interest lo British Columbians! "Trade with British Columbia is beginning to assume a larger degree of importance than ever before, and the prospects are lhat ill rertaiu Hues a business of cnn. sidei'uble importance will ultimately Ih1 developed, adding greater territory to the scope of Hie jobbing Held, and developing closer commercial relations wilh our neighbors across the line. According to the Evening News, the exports lo British Columbia during Ihe week ending Saturday, August 17th, amounted to $5,431,50, making a daily average of $005.20, the largest during llle summer, Tlie biggest day's business was dune on Saturday,amounting tu $1,730.88, and the smallest on Monday, which was $015.81. A steady ill- ciease iu Tacoma's business with British Columbia and the Canadian provinces has been noticeable during Hie entire slimmer, and the daily exports made by lucid merchants are now nearly twice as large as six mouths ago," A llecord In Cricket. A. 0. McLiiren, a cousin of Mr. Itick- iii-ds, who resides near Midway, broke all previous records in county cricket last month by the wonderful score of 121. The London Times stales, in a recent issue, that in recognition Mr. McLaren is to Iw presented with a gold wai ill and lie made a life memlu't* of the Lancashire Crlckel club. ——.<, s? Houd Work.
