The assessment work has just heen completed on this claim, which is an extension of the Roderick Dim, in Lung Lake camp, Agreeable to the literary association of (lie two. names, there is a striking similarity iu lhe ore froui both claims. Two shafts have been put down on Ihe Lady of the Lake, one 12 feet deep and the other 1(1. while a tunnel has been tun for 18 feel. The ledge, which is well mineralized, is clearly defined Isitween the walls. A three-fourth interest in the properly is controlled by Spokane mining men, ('. L, Thomet owning a quarter interest, The work was done by contract Innor, GREENWOOD NOTES. Special Corro.iw.i dencc. The water works dam is retarded by the pipe coming in. Mr. Robert Wood has lieen slightly indisposed the last few days. Bathing in the pool is ail the go. Very much like pool Blue ou red Black in hand, and requires mole than three lives to stand the game. Mrs. (iull,iwav unil her son have arrived and moved into Iheir new cottage. Mr. Galloway has beensulfering from illness, but is now improving. Mr. Buckley bus nearly completed his harness shop, A harness business is jusl what is wanted here, and Ihere will Ik. plenty of work for the shop. The berrying season is now lairly on und a well organized crowd will Haunter forth by arrangement and grab the festive fruit. Orders for preserves by Ihe ton will he taken. The new road being made east lu Grand Forks shows life and energy, Quite a small camp of canvass to covin the workmen proves lhey are bent on getting it through shortly. Miller Bros', stock of jewelry is the way, and will attract attention, nu doubt. They also carry a good slock of readable matter, which is timely for some kind of miud recreation, Dick Taylor is busy llxing his store preparatory to getting liis drugs. which are now on the way from Pun- tic-ton. Then it will liecome fashion- ublc lo lie sick as soon as lie atari s up. A very sociable dunce was held in Reiidell k Co's. Hall, whereat tome dozen couples tripped Ihe liglil fantastic, and thiiroughly enjoyed themselves. Mine host of the Pioneer hotel dispensed the refreshments. The hospital is assuming shape anil picl uresqiiencss, and when dually completed will he a boon to llle country al large. A little forethought iu its planning would make a decided and beneficial difference in ils i.ccoiuniodntloti. Mr. Clems, Ihe English expert, is still actively going over the villi..us camps and thoroughly examining ntnl testing by assay some of the principal claims. As usual he und his party are very reticent, hut it is Imped some guud will result from Ilis investigation. The soi disant, R. II. DeGrey, captain, doctor, minespculut...'. elc, has raised havoc wilh some people and llie how els of the earth by his Investments, Born of poor but honest parents In West Zora, Oxford county. Ontario, he has now sought quietude in the Azores and will there drop IheDeni. doubt the same as his many friends are dropping it afler him now. The n ew store for Mr. Louis I.

A number of new locations have been made recently in Greenwood camp, Unlike the older veins, which invariably showed enpper stains on the surface, iron cups are the prominent features of the ground lately slaked. It is impossible In estimate how thick this capping as a general rule is, and doubtless it varies In a very wide degree even oil neighboring claims. The assessment was done un the Center in Greenwood last, week, hut the owners failed to penetrate through Iheirun. 4+4 MINERAL EXHII1ITI0N.

The main shnfl, which is Intended tu la. used as the working shaft, is oil the lower cod «f ilie ledge, and instead of following the direct ion of tlie dip, is sunk vertically. Hence the reason for tlle present occurrence. . > • ♦ THE FIRST LADV PROSPECTORS. Monday of this week Miss Minnie I'Yuiiit and Addie Km, I.uul, of (fray's Harbor, accompanied by their kinsman, ('. R, Brown uf Greenwood Cily, were in Marcus outlining for »prospecting trip through the reservation. These ynung ladies are teachers by profession and have taken this trip us their summer's onimg, combining tho business uf prospecting with the pleasures of the trip.

Work has been steadily going on upun the Big Copper for some lime, and the shaft, is now down hetween 60 and DO feel.

MINERAL EXHIBITS AT FALL snows.

This is a etipilul idea, and we irusl llial, it will meet wiih the sup- purl it deserves.

Ou the ui her band, we must remember thai tlieru me other places in lhe world besides Spokane, iu which Judicious advertising might nut have an ill elfecl. The reports uf local newspapers may or may uol exert much liiiliieuie in drawing public nl (cut hm Ion particular locality.

Haynes is rapidly recovering from the effects of his accident, The Imrlu'i's nf Orremvnnd City held a convention on Ihe 30th inst, Trade questions were discussed, Men are still working on the road from Greenwood Cily to lhe camp, hut, progress is necessarily slow, A trail is lieing cut In Pass creek from Greenwood city. Mr. Itenilell is supplying llie funds for the purpose. In spit.' of the proi est, of lhe Indians, the I,inn uf Nelson, Wash., is growing rapidly. A nun,her of sul.stHiitl.il buildings have l.eeu lately added lo the place. A.

He has experienced no difllcul. ty whatever In locating the line, hm lins liteu troubled seriously with hui- net-nests which in.pule llie way, Mr. Il.ilil.el, erstwhile a proprietor of the Pioneer llolel at Greenwood, has relinquished his interest, in order to join a former partner in tlie same liusiness at Ilnssland. The Pioneer Hotel will lie carried ou liy Wood & Westell. The recent addition of» verandah iu the front af this hotel has greatly improved its general appearance. Last week llle Kossland ..liner, one of lhe l.esl, if not the hest, local papers inililislied in the province, came out. io nn enlarged form—lhat of an eight- pnge six-column paper. Doth from ■ lie joiirualislic and typyginpliic.il point of yiewllie pul.licatii.u i.swoithy i.f I In- llislricl. it so nl.ly represents, and this is (he highest praise thai could U, U-stuwed.

The animals were at unce liberated, ll is supposed thai liley i.nlered the caliin to obtain some relief from lhe flies, ami Ihal, llle door wan either closed hy the wind or l.y Ihc horses themselves while moving alHiul. VV. A. Losee, represenling an English company, arrived iu Midway ou Saturday from Victoria, Mr. Losee is our authority for stating that, a party of engineers are now iu the field surveying ilie mute for a proposed railroad from Vancouver to Ilnssland, via Chilliwiick, Hope .111.11..lain and Boundary creek. The company are now applying for a charier hum the Domini.in government. No litmus or subsidy will In.asked, and lhe required capital has already heen subscribed. If this news is true, nud there is no reason to Ihe contrary, lhe beneficial re- suits likely to accrue from I he materialization of such a scheme in Ihe near future are Inestimable. It is wilh sincere regret that, we chronicle the departure of Mrs Palmer* slim from Midway, Mrs. Palmerston has resided iu llie town for nearly three years, since in fad the birth of the place. During her stay she has by her kindly hospitality contributed m.l ji little to the social enjoyment of her fellow townspeople, di 'spile lhe (mil thai she hus rarely been quitefrcnl'roin -ailments, the result.of 11 week constitution, Mrs. Palmerston lefl on Monday wiih her children to join Mr. Palmer- slim in Spokane, ll was lhe sail news Ihal. her husband's condition]IMS so lunch worse llial precipitated Mrs. Pahiieiston's lilll.nllon of leaving Mid- way, though it had been contemplated for some time. Men prospecting iu Long Lake eamp u few weeks ago were considerably startled l.y hearing a succession ol unearthly yells ivilhlu a short,distance •if them. The owner of the yells presently coming iu view was interrogated liy Spencer liennerimiiiastiiwhy lie so assiduously mutilated the iitiuos* -.sphere, Interspeised with flail-like movements of his arms and hops and skips that|cotiljloulj'hefiilly appreciated at a Bed River line-down, came back the answer: "Ishoot iiiypaidnaire.bygar, yi, yip, ho-o-o-o, bul" Thinking that the man had missed connections with part of his upper flat, and had killed his partner, a messenger was sent for 0.

H. Norris left for Vernon oil Monday Insl. He will probably be all- seulthrei. weeks, Mrs. Worgan arrived from Vernon on Wednesday's singe, nnd hns joined her husband nl Greenwood, Asysleinof waler works is being eonslrueled for the norlh end of the town of Anaeonda. The work is iu Mr, Hind's hands, A big Hie is raging iu the vicinity of Scull Mediae's ranch, 11 is feared thai unless rain falls shortly, ll will spread dangerously lhrough Ihe country. County Oourt has again heen adjourned. This time unlil Wednesday. The delay, though doubtless unavoidable, has occasioned much Inconvenience. Not. the least attractive feature of Greenwood Cily is Columbia avenue, recenlly cleared of brush by Contractor Glass. This part of the town will 110 doubt, Ih. selected as far and away the most, pleasant for residential purposes, The painters have lieen busy iu Midway for the Inst two Weeks, On Friday night, however, tlie piofsssionals were ably assisted hy a number of amateurs, who in nn incredibly short, time had tinted the whole town with a shade of brilliant vermilion coloring. News reached ns as we were going to press of an accident, which occurred yesterday to Mr. T. Wake. The full particulars were unattainable, but so far as we could learn, while attempting to pass a wagon iu his buggy, somewhere on the wretchedly narrow road between Boundary Falls and Greenwood, Mr. Wake's rig was overturned and he himself sustained a fracture of the lefl. leg. Why more accidents do not, occur on this road is to be attributed lo lhe especially kind inlerveiilii.il of providence. The mineral dunip in Messrs. S1111- s.nn k Holbrook's otllce nt Greenwood is assuming, from lhe point of view of the occupants of the room, iineoiu- fortable proportions. The floor is almost completely covered with ungainly, I hough in many cases rich, samples of rock, making walking to llie unwary a hazardous proceeding. Mr, Sansoin proposes shortly to put. iu a concentrating plant at the rear of his building, nnd llius be able to show visitors I he gold of Boundary cieek in a more convenient form. Mr. San. sum's enemies have unkindly remarked Ihal if he ever does carry gold in the shape of bullion nboul wilh hiiu.il, will be in a liquid stale after Ihe receipt of the celebrated Dr. Keeley. 4 + 4 MINING NOTBS. The new air-cmupressor for the No. 7 hns arrived, and will besot up at lhe mine at once, Scott McRae has jusl returned from a prospecting trip up lhe Norlh Fork.

Tlie original owners allowed their title to Inpse, Intending however to re-locate, bnt. it, was a case of the "early bird." When lhey arrived Ihe "worm" had been incontinently swallowed.

Tlle Spokesinan-lieview again raises Unit muchly woriied question ai.enl the truedeHiulinn of ihe iiitKiitntioiinl boundary line. It says: "A prominent banister ot Nelson, B.C., who visited iu lliis cily Ibis week, slates that lhe mutter is of inure than a little concern lo il.e people on bis side of the line, and the general belief is Ihnt Ihe variation, on a line running east from the Pncilic c asl, is of such a degi'cejts will place thu town of Russland nearly Ihree miles sou lb of the llllll parallel when once properly established," Surely Ihere is a mistake here. If lb., "prominent harrlsler of Nelson" is quoted aright, he either has gained a very erroneous idea of what is llle general belief oo lllis side of Ihe line regarding lhe question, or he is a member of a liu.il ed bul despicable class, who |,n gain popularity ur a cheap notoriety, are not afraid when visiting a country not their own lo make rash or even uul run slaleiuents r ,'ardlesH of consequences at lhe e. • pelise (if patriot Ism. ►•-. KBUEGER'S FAITH IN PRAYER. This Hlory from lhe Transvaal hears every indication of truthfulness, because, by Ihe photographs of old Ki'ii.'ger, nnd by lhe accounts of his iirhicveiiii-uts during lhe past year, it is a clear case llial he does no. spend any time in prayer without expecting an answer. Tbe story runs ns follows: Before lhe Transvaal was a republic there was a famine in Ibe land, and a parly was organized lo hunt thehnrte- beesle. For days Ibe parly scoured llle veldt ill vain. Then one of Ihe Boers declared his ini.mi. u of rel'ilng inlo lhe bush Io prny for succor, He accordingly lefi lhe parly in company will) a native, Some bomsnflerwards the Boer relut'iii'd ..ml informed lhe parly thai be hnd prayed and lu three days' lime a very huge troop of linrle- beeste would pass lhat way. Sure enough, iwo days afler lhe promised game appeared iii sight, and lhe Dutchmen made a greal haul. From that moment the "ihiiii of prayer" hernine lbe popular ban.. Thai was Paul Ki'iiager, Some time afterwards the native Who accompanied Kl'llrgi-r staled that when Krueger entered lhe bush be did not pray, but struck oul for ii neighboring Kadlr Kraal, (Jail- lug lbe head men, lhe Boer Informed Ihem thnt there were a large number of n.-mail liners on llle olher side of lbe bush, who hnd belli llllll lo tell ihem Hint unless they (llie uailvesjdls. covered game In less than ilncediiys lhey wuuld be all shot, The frightened unlives sel out fuilhwllh, (Use.yel I'd game and drove ll Inward lhe Boer camp, — 1. .4- JAPANESE TIDAL WAVE.
