llle necessity of aid iu lhe .shape of
surface rlghls granted and further aid
of a monelai y nature Bought is by Mr.
Heinze.
We us a llislricl huve, ufterperseyt-r-
ing efforts, succeeded in ohtniuing a
trunk roud from Puiilieton to Cascade
Cily. This roud, I hough in puts an
indifferent one, caused principally hy
basly locution und construct inn previous to an election, we thoroughly up-
predate, I hough it is nolhing mate
lliun the section deserves, and considered frum lhe light uf un invest*
nieiii, bus proved und will continue to
prove a good one, hy virtue of ils increasing tlle revenue derived from
mining receipts,
What we want now is nu extension
of our mud system hv I he construction
of Hails (nnd al'terwiirds roads) from
the trunk lnuii norlh alung Kettle
river, Boundary creek, and lbe nurlli
fork of Kettle river, In conned witli
the Fire valley trail and a trail along
Mission creek. These iruils shuuld be
carefully local ed by cumpelenl parlies,
wilh a view to Iheir nf Iur wards heing
converted into wagon roads. The
trails luted unly he cleiired lu the Iirsl
instance eight or len feet with-, hy a

The pack animals of the prospector
will soon heat ii good trail lied.
This system wuuld ensure a maximum permaiienl iinpruvenu-nl with a
minimum of expenditure, nod would
furnish an upporliinily for the pans-
■ pector to push norl hward and open up
a comparatively unexplored counlry
of lurge exlenl. The fuel of flu-prospect or having in cut nut his own frails
for tulles through sections of country
covered with thick limber, no doubt
hinders many I'i .an sl liking out.
When such a system is adopted, Ihc

those seel ions which. If Assisted, would

Twenty men are now at work oil the
Victoria, constructing buildings, etc
It Is Intended lo .run a tunnel on the
claim lo lap lhe vein al a depth of 100
feel.
The parties having the Old England
under bond arc expected in a tew days
to make the final arrangement for lhe
transfer of lhe property. The Old
England Is situated near Camp Mc.
Kinney.
On the south fork of Rock creek,
Copelanil k York are taking good pay
out of Iheir placer claim. As soon as
winier sets ill lhey will turn their attenlion to the developinenl. of their
quarlz property located near the same
creek.
Five men are placer^ mining on
Wliiteuian's creek, on tbe west side of
Okaungaii lake. Two claims are being
opened up with drains, which are in
ahout 20M feet iu length. Those drains
will he carried on until bed-rock is
reached, and if it is not found possible
to do so by this means, then shafls
will be sunk, A small amount nf pay
is being derived from the gravel now
passing through the sluice boxes.
A new strike of rich ore has been
iii.nl.. on tiie Maple Leaf claim In Camp
McKiuney. Air. Lynch, lhe owner,
has recenlly heen carrying on development, and instead of working in lbe
old shaft, he opened up new ground
about aiJO feet fuilher west, Afler
running an open uul for aboul 21X1 feel,
he came upon lbe ledge, and on sinking a few- feel, encountered the richest
ore that, has ever lieen taken out of lhe
claim. The Maple Leaf is on the same
vein as llle fan.,ills Caiiboo mine,
The Big Windy on Eholt Creek has
paused into the hands of New York
capllalisls, (!. L, Thomet aud Spencer
Beiiiieruiau had inleresls in Ibis claim.
The Fremont, iu Providence camp,
iinui her of Mr. Thoinel's claims, and
the Highland Chief in Smith's camp,
have also been sold lo the same parlies. Mr. McLean owned a half interest iu the Highland Ohelf, Mr.
Hotfinier made the purchase on behalf
of lhe New York people, and he was
introduced lo our camps only a few
days ago l.y Mr. Shallonlierger.
Lust summer a Hit was raging on the
west fork of Rock creek, and everyone
deplored lhe destruction of timber, It
would .sei-oi, however, some good
would come out of ll, as the country
having been cleared, ininers have been
able lo prospect the ground, with the
result thai, some fifteen or twenty
claims have l.eeu staked and recorded.
One of the first discoveries made was
IheCanieroiiian, and lhe owner, Alex,
Cameron, is now developing his
properly liy driving a tunnel, which
will lap the ore body al a di pill of 200
feet. From the appearance of the ore
llle cluim is liable to he a very valuable
one, as assays from surface rock,
in gold, silver and copper, ainouiil to
-jM per iuu. Many of the claims surrounding the Caiiieronian are owned
by Vieloria people, and no doubt he-
fore long a goud deal of work will In-
done on Ihem,
A report was current in the early
part of last week llial work was to he
discontinued on lhe Weir properties,
but rich strikes having been made ou
the Mother Lode and No. 7, tl is probable that work will be pushed in.ire
vigorously I hall ever. The strike in
the No. 7 is of extra.irilliinry richness,
the ore lieing a solid galena rich in
horn silver, and carrying aboul pill in
gold lo the ton. The ore of llle No. 7
was always known lo be of Iiiiii grade
bill this strike iu solid ore at a depth
of 1110 feet bus demonstrated bey..ml
a doubt its richness, iiutl that Central
will be one of Ihe great camps of lhe
province. The No. 7 has a surface
showing of S00 feet iu width and al)
high grade ore. Its position geologically is a perfect example of a contact
vein. The present holders of lhe bond
nu this properly are not, allowed by
the owners to ship ore until the bond
is paid in full, otherwise lhe present
holders would probably haye been
hipping long ago-even ut the large
xpense entailed in doing so. It is
said lo l.e the iiite.ilion »f the management to erect works wil bin a short
dial-Mice of the mint), they having up-
plied for two mill sites. This is hul
