Accurate anil Authentic Description of the Mine Its ore Values and Amount of Work Done (o Date. I'm...inenl among the more important uf the Boundary Creek milling properties is the Mother End.*, situate in Deadwood comp, ahout three uiiles I'ciini Auncondu, Its location dates back nearly seven years, the claim hnving been recorded on Muy 2K. 1801, in tin- names of .Messrs McCormick, Ingriiu, Thompson, and Gibbs, lis loci.tins, liko othor pioneer prospectors passed through many vicissitudes, but despite numerous discouragements nnd difficulties they held on to the claim until In .lum* of I80Q, it was bonded by Col, John Weir, of New -lurk, for $10,000. Tlie bond wus taken up at maturity und the property afterwards passed into the posscssiou of the Boundary Mines Co., of New York, a close corporation organized in New Ynrk l.y Col, Weir, for tho purpose of carrying on general mining liusiness in British Columhia, This compnny is represented in the province by Mr, F, Koffer, JI, E,, who resides ui Anaconda. Since taking hold of tin. property Col. Weir uml the present owners havespenl to-dute about $12,(1(1(1, mainly in developinenl wnrk, the outlay on buildings, etc, having been restricted In only what wus necessary for the comfortable housing of the men employed on llie eluiin. The surface shewing of the Mother Lodo may bo rightly described us enormous. It is, perhaps, the most striking in the district, the outcropplngs of tho lurge ore budy standing oul prominently for 1050 feet along the lull in which it occiirs iiiiii rising to u height of ncnrly 3(K) feet, The lodo husii strike nprbxi- lnatoly ^north, 25 degrees east, and it lies between lime nnd porphyry formations, Its width on the surface, tiaturaliy is not so well defined as it is in the tunnel helow, but it appears to cover :i distance of nearly 200 feet. The wnrk done by the locators wus chiefly surface prospecting, of which they did agreatdeal, Low down the side nf the bill thoy ran a tunnel through the lime formation, but at 12 feet they wore in ore, sn the work wns not continued. On top of the hill a shaft wus put down 20 feet in the lode, neai' the pninl of contact with the lime. Numerous cuts were also made, uinl bnles sunk, ure shewing in naarly all nf lliese. lu September, 1800, or soon after Col. Weir obtained possession, wurk iu a more systematic manner wns begun, and it bus been continued almost without interruption up to tho pic-.'iit time, The sbull wns sunk*, feet deeper, anda fair quantity nf ore wus taken mil of It, but as it entered the lime wall ut 2,i feel it wns decided tu slop sinking nn.l to put in n crosscut tunnel, to test the value nf lbe nre body at a greater depth. Tin* tunnel wus comma..ceil nt a pninl, 100 feet ubove the level of the base of the bill, near the west line uf the cluim and nboul IMI feet frnni the lower end line. The hill rises directly above the tunnel 11-0 feet higher, und the highest point of the ore body farther back is 80 feet higher still, so thut if a iiiiinel were run iu ut the lowest practicable levol along thu ore body, it would give a maximum depth nf 280 feel. Thodi- ineusions nf lbe tunnel are six feel six Inches by live feet. The lirst 12 feel fern, lbe nitiiiib nf tho tunnel was driven in .vlilte limestone, The foot- wall side nf tho ore body wns tlie.. encountered and from this time until the nther side nf the little was reached 2lu Feet from the tunnel mouth, llu- wurk wns continually in un; thai is, the length nf thocrosscul in tl v Is203 ii't't. Allowing fnr U.e somewhat diagonal cuurse uf ihe first part of the tunnel, lhe tlistanco across Ihc lode, measured nl right angles, is 185 feet. The porphyry encountered nt 215 fact j is separated frum lhe lnile by gouge mul Ier. which is perfectly free, nu! being "frozen" tothe hanging wall us e frequently the case, The ore found Immediately next t. lhe limestone fnntwall wns nf falrqual it y, but beyond I bis up In llli feet from I ilia mouth nf ilie tunnel, lhe grade wus Inw. AI llli feel nre having .....ch j higher values was fniuid nnd ibis ore! continued fnr u distance nf about 80 ■ feet, or to within 20 feel uf the hanging wall, [''ruin here to the banging wall the ore was very poor. The gang...* .if the lode ...utter met with in tlie tunnel in In niiniii Illl feet is mostly silicates of inm, lime, alumina and magnesium, with morn or less crystallized carbonates nf Iiu..*. Tin*.ice to 189 feel il is chiefly oxide of iron, with some silicates, Fnr the remaining .lis- innce ii resumes Its former character, lu the main the nre is nf such if nature us to lit* self fluxing, ur would require lhe iiildil inn uf bul. lillle flux for smelting. Allhnugli n.il, milch of lhe ore found III this tunnel wuuld pay to smelt directly without preliminary treatment, still the Improvement over the surface showings wns so marked that i il wns decided tn sink a winze 100 feet, ...id ihen crosscut again. This work was sunn begun, but wnter came in so freely us lo make sinking a slow and very expensive task. However, lho 100 fool level wns reached and crosscut I ing was Ihen begun. The Hrst crosscut was run towards the footwall and It was continued 12 feet, or until ;. stratum of poor ore was encountered, (It should be mentioned that the wlnue was begun 162 feel in fro... lhe ulh ofllie tunnel, or six feet inside the line of good ore mentioned above as occurring iu the tunnel nt 140 feet.) The men., nssay values of the Hrst six feet of the ore In the crosscut, taking all ruck gnnd und hud, gave $18.50 per ton, Of the first nine f.-et it, was $15,50 per ton, nn.l of lhe whole twelve feet il was $12 per ton. Assnrted ore, that is ore wil b I be wnslc taken out, assayed on nu average $80 per ton for the 12 feet, The hesl nre run $15 per Inn, and the copper values in il were ..bout twice lbe gold values. Tbe crosscut was next run I nwardsl he bunging wall, Fm- IIS fed ilu* mean value nf the nre, gnnd nnd hnd, nbliiincd here was $8,50 per ton. With waste taken out il. averaged $12 lo $13 per Ion, while more carefully sorted ore run nearly $17 per tun. The nre was fairly nnl- fiirin here, althnugh then* were live or six feet uf il in nne place whieh, roughly sorted, assayed $1(1 to $17 per tun. Al the end nf lhe 38 feet a "hurse" nf hnrrcn mat was found running diagonally tluougb the. ore burly nt ncnrly linln angles in Iln* banging wall) TMs "horse" was ahout four feet. In thickness, and, mvingto its inclined position, the censsc... was in it for some 12 or IB feet, the ore tapering nut above and in helon nf the barren ruck.

MONDAY. FEBRUARY 7, Mitt. « EDITORIAL NOTES. As an attempt may be mnde at the coining sitting of the Provincial legislature to amend the Mineral Acl, In conform (with the expressed opinions of Mr. Carlyle, that a prospector should be required to curry out an assess...enl before being allowed to record a mineral claim, we would like lu hear the views of suine off be milling population of this distriet upun the subject, and ifour renders will favor us with the same, we will gladly give place to then in our columns. It. is a very Inportant question and therefore deserving uf discussion, we NOTE a growing desire among a poitioo of the agricultural population of the province toli.iveuPr.ivinoi.il and International Exhibition held at New Westminster this year, For our part we feel that such .... exhibition would bea splendid advertisement fur British Columbia, and we would say that if such can beheld, a line display of tin mineral resources of thu country should form one of the principal features in connection with such an exhibition. We would also suggest thul the mineral exhibit which would be collected for the occasion, might form tlle nucleus nf a grand display, to l.e forwarded to tbe Paris Exhibition, if held, iu 11)00. Tn Ibis cud the Government shuuld lend a ready and cheerful assistance. • It is with regret we learn that Mr. W. A. Carlyle has resigned the position he so ably Hlled as Provincial .Mineralogist foi' the past two years. 11, is said the step hns been taken sn that he may occupy a position on the advisory board of the Brilish American Corporation. Il is to he hoped ihnt Mr. Carlyle's resignation will not Intel fere with the issue uf the several bulletins, which must he under the course of compilation, and lhe more so with reference tn Il.e une which will treat of the ..lining resources of the southern portion of Yale, and for which the public have been patiently waiting for some time past. Much as we regret that lbe province has lost Mr. Carlyle's services in the capacity uf Provincial Mineralogist, there is some satisfaction to he derived from lhe knowledge that be will remain in British Columbia, nnd will therefore no doubt he nhle tn du niuch fur the country uf which lie su recently became a resident. —+— The action lake., l.y the people of Boundary Creek in turning dnwn the Heinze proposition oven before they were made aware uf the fuel that he had disposed of his interests lo the C. P, R,, has been justiftod by recent events. Heinze being disposed of,, the railway issue is left between Air. Corbin and the 0, P. ti., and as the people of this district have warmly embraced Mr. Cochin's ennse, it is safe to say that if the Dominion Government will only attend to the wishes of the people, there will he no ueeessily nf their ever again entertaining the idea of granting n cash subsidy tunny corporation desirous, .f furnishing railwny facilities to this district. The same applies to the Provincial Government, nml therefore our legislators should see in i:,, that everything be dono lo facilitate n charter being granted Mr. Corbin, nnd thereby if pussilile save to tlie people the enormous land gnu.I, offered to Mr. Heinze, ur lbe cash bonus lhey were empowered tu grunt in lieu thereof. Let the Dominion Govornwent bul grant a chai'tortu Mr. Corbin and the railway question as It affects the Boundary Oreek district would b" Immediately solved, providing of course Il.e obligation is imposed upon him. for tho Immediate construction of the railway for which a charter is sought, jniiriniienl wns made mi tho 20th ultimo, was again rend, and the financial statement wus submitted together wltll the auditors repurl, tliere nu. The auditor reported everything correct und in order. The adoption of the reports and statement of accounts was again moved by the president, Mr. G. Arthur Itenilell, and was declared carried upun lhe voices, bul, Mr. I). A.. Holbrook demanded a poll. To avoid tlie useless waste of time and trouble that the Inking uf a poll would Involve, Mr. llnllhrook's voting power being more than three times greater than that of all the remaining shareholders combined, the chairman, with tho approval of tho meeting, declared the million for adoption lost on a pull uf voles. He then vacated the clinic and Mr. Holbrook was appointed chairman, It was then moved by Mr. Holbrook and seconded by Mr, T. E. Davis that the following shareholders be directors for the ensuing twelve months! Messrs I). A. Holbrook, I). W. Holbrook, A. (.'. McKeuzie, .1. W. Nelson, and C, A. E. Sliuw, The vote taken un this motion and on another afterwards submitted liy Messrs Holbrook and Davis —afflnqing approval of the purchase last year uf the McDonnell ranch property and disapproval nf the lust board of directors in re-transferring it tu Mr. McDonnell, nn.l authorising the new board of directors to protect the company in the nuttier—was similar I... that on the question nf the adoption nf the repurl, viz. there wns a large majority against Mr. Holbrook on the voices, but when hedeni.-inde.lapuli lie bud everything his own way. Immediately afler the last-mentioned motion had been declared carried tho meeting adjourned, House Warming.

Fruit Growers Association held at New Westinin- ter on the 22nd of last month, the following resolution was moved by Messrs Hutcherson and Earle, and adopted unanimously! "That this society pledge itself to do all things possible to make the provincial show to be held at New Westminster the coming fall an unprecedented success and to rectim mend that the Provincial Government be requested to increase the present grant from $1,001) to $5,000 with .1 view to carrying out the idea of an International Fruit Fair in connection with the show." It was furthor suggested thnt such shews lie held every few years and that all the agricultural societies of the province assist the Royal Apiicultural and Industrial Sneiety of New Westminster to further the plans of this Provincial and International Exhibition, . H-l Cascade City Water Power. Mr. John A. Coryell, Civil Engineer of Midway has just returned from Cascade Cily, nt which point he has been engaged in making extensive surveys, in connection with the proposed tftillzation of the enormous water power of the Kettle river at the point close to Cascade City, known as Cascade falls, Quite lately the Cascade Devel > nienl Cninpnnv disposed nf their rights in lhe water puwer lu an English syn dicnte, which is represented in this prnvii.ee l.y Mr. C. K. Mdl.0ur.1e of Nelson, B. C, and for this syndicate of capitalists the work bus lieen dune. An idea of the vnlue of Ihe right to utilize this puwer cnn unly be appreciated by those familiar with the disj trict, and are therefore able lo conceive to what an extent as the cnuntry develops, it will be in demand. Tu those who cannot appreciate the pussiliiliti'sof its full.re usefulness, a few details ...ay nevertheless be of interest, and in this respect it may l.e snidthatfroni the height of wnter to the point at which machinery wuuld probably be set,represe..iingu distance of some 2500 ft. no less than 120 feet of a fall Is attained fnr a volume nf wnter which is estimated to develop from 1(1,000 to 20,0110 horse power. To gain this great amount of fall, a dam or dams will have to he set at the bead of the canyon, nndby such, would I he wnter be raised so us to occasion its flow tbrough;the recess prepared foi its conveyance to this lower level, viz., by pipes, ilu.nes und ditches cut iulu the suli.l ruck. The dnss of machinery to be used to produce the power has perhaps not as yet been decided upon, but the power to he produced through the agency of the a.iter will be electricity, nnd for this will bo found a use, in the development of niines, the operation of tramways, the liglil ing of luwns, and a multitude of other forms in which this agent is now employed. The us.* of the power will not I..* confined In the Immediate neighbourhood in whicli it is prodn 1, for it is under. stood it will be convoyed wil bin 11 radius of many miles of Cascade City, iu fact it may be transmitted tu the Boundary creek camps, und towns in their vicinity. Under these circumstances, what possibilities are there nut offered for the con.puny to do a prnlllul.le business, and how great, tun wuuld the influence be, ci1 till a cheap puwer l.e offered and placed within tlie reach of the many who in the near future will require just such an agent. For the present it must be acknowledged the demand for this power, even if it were furnished,wool.I nut l)e|grcat, but wilh the advent of railways, smelters, etc., all this will change, nnd then it is to l.e hoped the conipiiny now holding the franchise, will loose no time in harnessing the power wbich is now flowing in natures channels, und which up lo the pres.ii.thns not been put to nny service, -AN- Extra ProVincial Compnny to Curry on Business.

A." is a vein about 20 inches wide, with a pay-streak of 4 In 12 inches; from this 8,0511 lbs. of ore was shipped to the smelter, giving $103.16 gold per I nn, silver 74 7-10 nzs., and 2 per cent. lead. A tunnel is lieing driven on this vein frnni which ore is being taken. On the same property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena and pyrites. The "G. A. K." has a 30-fool shaft sunk nn a 2-foot vein, heavily mineralized wilh nn intimate mixture uf iron and copper pyriles, galena, blende and silverglance, Thefinestplecesofwires.il- verfnund onBoundaryOreek were taken frinn this shaft. Average assays frum different plnces across the vein gave $8.00 gold, fit) ozs. silver; also $8,00 g.ild and lull nzs. silver nn.l one, the latest return—$15,05 gnld and 1064*5 - ozs. silver per tun. On the "Big Ledge" is a 10-foot quartz vein, mineralized wiih iron pyrites. This vein has been opened up by cross-cuts nn the surface f.ir .ilHI feel, A narrower vein has been opened up, being one fu.it wide, carrying considerable copper pyrites, and runs intu the main ledge ns a spur, mi which a tunnel of 40 feet has been driven. Average assays gave $33 gnld nn.l 1 1-10 ozs. silver, and $111,115 gnld" 171 ozs. silver, 2 por eent. cupper. The "S, F." lies l.etweeil the (1.

The "O. ti." has two distinct veins I une 25 feet wide which, from its strike and general character would seem to be the same vein as that un the Big Ledge, although sufficient has not lieen dune to make this conclusive. The second vein has at present a width of nearly three feet. Assays have shown values iu gold frnni $4,00 lu $170.53,',while a 'conservative sampling by Mr. S. S. Fowler, M. E, gnye $20.00 ill gold. Onthe"S. II.

The "Fred II." was located in De cen.lier, 1805, more ns ground for a basis for mining operations for the other cliiiins than for its present, value, although there is little doubt that the large vein un the O. B. runs through it. There is a small vein of galena on this claim. The "*T. A, 0." hns a large irou- capping running through it frnni tlie Anaeonda, nf a depth of a few feet. The ure carries a considerahle percent nge of of copper an.l $10 in gold.
