Tiie progress made litis certainly equaled (he expectations of those best. qualified to judge, for in those ptoper- lics iii which systematic development work has been prosecuted, in every mine I have yel seen, the resull s have been most encouraging antl confirmatory of the judgement and faith lieid by their on,let's, ll is line lhat. nuine C.lallllS have since iippill'i-lllly.falleli by the way-side, Kill I e probably lo be for- gotten, others to await ample t-nplliil and experienced management, lacking which succees is always must doubtful.

Already there nre pro- perlies in Boundary Creek capable of furnishing a lew hundred tons of ore a month, if called upon to do so, and if development could he applied lo other claims on a scale equal to Hint proposed I'm- the Stemwinder, the hundreds mighi soon he changed to thousands. MINING NOTES. Ore is being hauled lo Penlicton for shipment to Taromu over the 0. P. R., from the Wonderful group of claims which are situated ill Washington territory some few miles south of the boundary Hue. It is understood that returns from a car load lot of this ore recently shipped netted about $200 per ton. Work has heen resinned on the Washington and Lone Star properties. which lie smith of Central camp, just across lbe boundary line on thu Ool- ville reservation. The inflow of surface water caused a cessation of work in lhe early spring, but now this has ceased development work will he vigorously carried on, A company operating on Meyers creek has imported iVXHl ore sucks. This looks like husincss und as llle ore Is reputed lo curry a high gold value, a shipment from tins locality would do much to draw attention to the camp, which is becoming of greater iniporlance, as developnii'til on its several properties progresses. A sleain lioisl anil steam pump is on ils way from llle ensl, for the Minne. halia at Camp McKinney. As soon as the machinery arrives and is set ill place, Ihis promising proposition wil' be attacked wilh renewed vigor, und developinenl being carried on under mine favorable conditions tin* result should be correspondingly favorable. Work on the (Sunset claim in Dead- wood camp is progressing in a very satisfactory inaniier,lhctiiiini.lnovv being in aboul lot) feet, ahout. two-thirds the distance it is expected it will hive to lie run to tap the ore body, Although v\ e have said lhe tunnel will have to lie run sonic 200 ft. yet it is iindeistood that Irom indications iu the face of the tunnel at the presenl lime that an ore body is being approached, as a considerable amount of quartz ia making its appearance, and the country rock is becoming freely impregnated with fine sulphurels of copper and iron.

JACOBS - - - - Secretary-Treasurer BANKERS: BANK OF MONTREAL Vernon, B. C. *^tt^^ % J DESCRIPTION. On the " D. A." is a vein ahout 20 inches wide.'with a pay-streak of 4 to 12 inches; from this 8,053 lhs. of ore was shipped to the smelter, giving $103.15 gold per Ion, silver 717-10 ozs., and 2 per cent, lead. A tunnel is heing driven on this vein from whieh ore is lieing taken. On the same property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena nnd pyrites. The " G. A. R." has a 30-foot shaft sunk oo a 2-font vein, heavily mineralized wilh tin intimate mixture of iron nnd copper pyrites, galena, hlende and silverglnnce. Tlionneslpieccsofwiresil- verfound niiBoimdiiryOreek were taken from this shaft. Aveiage assays from different places across the vein gave $8.00 gold, SO out. silver; also $8.00 gold and 150 ozs. silver and one, the hit eat ;ret urn—$15.05 gold and 1IK3 4-5 ozs. silvei-per ton. On the "Big Ledge" is a 10-foot quartz vein, mineralized with Iron pyrites. This vein has heen opened up hy cross-cuts on the surface for 500 feet. A inn-rower vein has heen opened up, heing one foot wide, carry- iii|i considertihle copper pyriles. and runs into the main ledge as n spur, on which iv tunnel of 40 feet has heen driven. Average assays gave $311 gold 'and 11-10 ozs. silver, and $40.35 gold, 17J ozs. silver, 2 per cent, copper. The "O. B." has two distinct veins I one 25 feet>ide| which, from its strike and geoeral character would seem to he the same vein as that-on the Big Ledge, although sufficient has not heen done to make this conclusive. The "second vein has at present a width of nearly three feel. Assays have shown values in gold from $4.00 to*$170,63, while a^eonservative sampling hy Mr. 8. S. Fowler, M, E. gave $20.00 in gold. On'the " S.'H. B." are two converging veins of copper iind'iron [pyrites, oo which work is now lining done. An average assay gave, gold $1.60, silver 10J ozs,, copper 11,00 per cent., or $40.44 for all values. The "S. F." lies letweed the G. A, R. and D. A., in the direction of Ihc strike on the G. A. R. vein. This location has heen made on a vein of pyi-i-hotite, The "Fred I)."was located in De cemher, 1895, more as ground for a hasis for mining operations for lhe olher claims Ihnn for its present value, although Ihere is little dnuht that the large vein on IheO. B. runs through it. There is a small vein of galena on lliis claim. Tlle "J. A. C," hns a large iron- capping running lhrough It from the Anaeonda, at a depth of a few feet, llie ore carries a considerable percent age of of copper and $10 in gold. r % This company is registered under the Companies Act, 1890, and amending acts, in the office of the Registrar in Victoria, B. C, for 1,500,000 shares at $1.00, non- assessable, of which a portion of the Treasury stocn. is now offered at 10 cents a share on application to the company. The remaining sixclainisareall good prospects, hut ns yet very little development work has heen (lone on them. % %. NOW IS THE TIME To get in on the ground floor. The company having recently purchased the McDonnell ranch of about 560 acres, adjoining its mineral claims, now possesses unusual facilities for carrying on mining operations on a large scale. This purchase has secured to the Company excellent mill and smelter sites; abundant water power for m ining, electric light, domestic and other purposes, and other desirable advantages. Forty acres of this land, very conveniently and centrally situated at the junction of Eholt Creek and Boundary Creek, have been surveyed into town lots, and the new townsite has been named. BOUNDARY CREEK CITY. I TS situation is a most favorable one, being at the meeting place of two much used routes o travel—to Long Lake, Pass Creek and Summit camps, and to Kimberly camp, and the main Kettle River respectively. It is also the only known practicable railway pass from the east, so will be nigh on the line of the new railway from the Columbia River to Penticton. Building has already commenced on the new townsite, which offers particular inducement for both business and residence purposes, There are now good openings for several kinds of businesses and the company will give exery encouragement to business men establishing themselves at this point. Prices of lots are within the reach of all, and buyers building on them will be liberally dealt with. Full particulars of both mineral claims and town lots will be given upon application to the BOUNDARY CREEK MINING AND MILLING CONPANY, LTD. GREENWOOD CITY, B. C.
