LESLIE HILL OPERATING.
The representative of the Prospect-
ing Syndicate of Brilisli Coliiinliia
(limited liability), Mr. Leslie Hill, M.
E., is in the district, nnil hns lieen for
.some litne past looking over property
in the several camp.*.. Although ninny
experts have visited Long Luke cninp
recenlly, all of whom were lllipressed
wilh the appearance of the veins of ore
lo he found Ihere, Mr, Leslie Hill is the
firsl lo operate, having secured opticus
upon ilie Jewel and Denaro Grande
claims, livo of ihe besl properties iu
lhe eamp. In ilia Jewell Mr. Hill hns
secured no option 00 Mr. Busshuit's
I Interest, and the price 10 he paid is
no less a sum than $7,600, Ihc terms of
which are as follows, $750 down, $760
before the 1st of Maich next, and the
balance, $8,000, before tbe 2!)tli of
August, 1807.
One-half inleresi hns lieen secured in
the Denaro Grande, and ihis was
bonded hy lhe owner, Mr. T. Shun-
quest, who receives for lhe same I In.
sum of $10,(1111), on the following terms
of payment; $1,(1(10 down, Sl 1X0 before
1st March, 181)7, and $8,CC0 before
August 211,181)7.
Long Lake cninp was only discovered
in tlie spaing of '1)5, yet ninny trans-
fers have taken place, anil ns time
posses they are growing in frequency,
Beside the Jewell an.l Denarollrnnile
several other claims are located on file
same vein of ore, wliieli for appearance
ami rich character cannot perhaps l.e
excelled by any other vein in tlie
Boundary creek country,
Not a great deal of development
work hns been .lone upon nny of the
claims, yeb in eveiy instance ill wiiien
work was carried on, very satisfactory
results were ol.liiiui'il. The acquisition
of properly l.y powerful syndicates
and individuals wilh plenty of capital,
is much to be desired, as hy such
means pay rolls will be started, nnd
lhe true value of many prospects
(which at present is uiicerlain) will be
iii.a.le manifest.''
GEMS OF THE RESERVATION,
The best develop, ii and most prosperous looking property on lhe Colville
reservation at Ilia present, lime is tlm
Lone Sttti nnil Washington claims,
situated on Le Fleur mountain, within
a short distance of Nelson, Wash., nml
Carson, I). C. These claims nre owned
by the Reservation Mining uud Milling
company, whose headquarters are at
Spokane, Mr. Taylor being piesi.leut
of (be company, and file, Dohin secretary,
Tbo claims, which wen. located last
spring liy Mr. Henry While, are upon
a ledge which is nothing more nor less
Iluin a contiiiiiatii.il of lhe splendid
vein of ore which runs through While's
camp on lliis side of Ihe line, upon
wliieli years ago claims were located,
and upon snuie of which much work
has been done, The ledge can betrnceil
across thirteen claims—n distance of
more 111.in three miles,
The piesenl development upon Ihe
claims consists of a tunnel I'M feet in
length, which tups the on. body,at a
depth of fi.) feet from tlle sin face, nn.l
a crosscut in which wink is now being
carried on shows tlle ledge lo bel.'O
feel iu width, Willi no sign of walls nt
either end, The surface outcrop of
tbe vein is over 2(10 feet wide, anil nt
the presenl dupih of 80 feet lhe
management me wondering how fm
lhey will bnve to crosscut before they
slrike the walls. The ipmllfy of the
ore is eveiytbing loo llial i-oii'il lie desired, ns assays show it lu have in gold,
copper mul silver a value of !*i.*iO per
ton, Only the tieitsuiy stock of lliis

What the creek Utseds in deep pros-

lo undertake the work of opening up
the ground thoroughly, very lillle
ihiiibl need be enlerlaiiied but Ibnl. the
enterprise would be found profitable,
lu the past companies huve been
formed which have done a great
niuouut of work, bul as they were
composed principally ol laboring men,
who could give Utile else than Iheir
labor, when llu. crucial point was
reached in operation, such as furnishing pumping machinery, elc, then
lhey were obliged to suspend opera-
lioiiK for waul of funds, and, in some
instances, just at a time when a very
lillle more capital mighi haaveassured
success.
Seeking Hie precious metal in quartz
ledges is all the rage al. presenl, hut if

no more, and perhaps less, risk attached lo il.
WHAT VOU MUST DO.
Few people seem lo unilersland Hint
certain regulations are necessary nnd
certain conditions must lie complied
wiih to expedite business transactions,
One half of lbe people applying for
crnwii grants of laud fail to comply
with nil lhe conditions, anil then us
this entails delay, instead of Illuming
themselves, lhey are apt to east relied inns upon the business capacity of
the officials of the government, This
matter hus bean touched upon before,
hul as mistakes ure still being made,
the following rules are published for
the guidance of those applying for a
pre-emption crown grant in this district, and I" sustain such application
the follow iug documents must he produced :
Original pre-emption record; original
certificate of Improvements- original
certificate of purchase.
The fees necessary are: Certificate
of Improvements, $2; ceiilftciite of
purchase, $1 per acre; crown grant
fee, $5.
In addition lo the above a survey fee
1". eenls par acre is charged on all lands
surveyed by the government,
In eyery case the pre-emptnr's name
in full must lie given.
No crown grunt can issue iinlil livo
years fnnn the dale of the pre-empti.m
record, nnd until nl'ler the survey has
been gazetted.
In every cuse lhe fees and dncu-
inenls must, be sent to llie government

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mr. Donald Graham, our representative In the provincial legislature, is
now paying n visit to lhe district,
Which bus iii.ule such vast and wonderful strides siuia' he was here Insl, just
upon lhe eve of his eleeliou. Mr.
Gratlutlt will spend a week or two
visiting tlie camps, nnd will, during
Ilis siuy, giiilu-r all ih.. available dat.il
touching mailers affecting the prosperity ind development of this porlion
of his constituency, so Unit he will be
in a position to piesenl to the house
many Interesting fails when il again
convenes. As Mr. Graham is extremely painstaking in searching for
the truth, he may be relied upon to
gather valuable information upon tlie
subject of necessary roads, trails,
bridges, etc., ne also upon Ihe subject
of freight rates; lbe source from wbich
goods coming into iho country are
drawn, their line of transportation and
the amount consumed ; lhe increase ill
the provincial revenue here j the administration of jusl iee; the pres*
present developinenl of the mines, and
many other mailers will also claim
bis attention, and when he again has
an opportunity of voicing iu the house
the pressing needs of the district to
government recognition, all may rest
assured his argunienls wili be fortified
with such an an ay of indisputable
facts and figures as will compel lhe
government to grant such aid lolhe
districl for the carrying out of public
Iniproveiiients, as will be compatible
with its pressing needs, owing lo tlle
rapid development taking place therein,
 1	
The very serious question of supply*
. ing lhe City of Viniiin witli good
wholesome water is again receiving
consideration at the hands of the
council, On mure than one occasion
tlie taxpayers have been given tlie opportunity of voting upon the matter,
and ns they would not sanction tlie
borrowing of certain sums of money,
they' were evidently possessed wilh
llle idea that lhe several schemes presented for their consideration were
either not favorable or were too expensive, As grave diseases, liow ever, ure
making themselves felt in lhe cily.it
will he apparent to every one lhat tlie
vnsillating policy hitherto n.l..pled will
have to he abandoned and the issue
fairly and squarely taken up and carried through at whatever cost. The
scheme, now under consideration, i. e,
the piping of waler from the B. X.
creek to a reservoir set at the lop of
Hmiiaial avenue, and then carried in
mains through il.e lown, should commend Itself lo every taxpayer, as no
doubt, it would l.e found lo render if
tried a very effective service, and one
wliieli could be installed without any
very great expenditure of money. The
.citizens shuuld remember that upon
their own shoulders rests lhe responsibility of their town being inudo healthy
and lit to live in, und Ihis being llie
ease, I hey should not. be slow iu lending
n united support to lhe council who are
so strenuously endeavoring to carry
out their wishes in this und olher
matters,

Billlnlin No. 2, or Professor W. A.
Carlyle's report on lhe Trail creek
milling district, is lo hand, and although a careful consideration has nol
been given the same, lhe fact i.s lulled
that. Mr. Carlyle Jias the faculty
thoroughly developed of crowding n
vast amount of cold-blooded fuels nnd
tt large amount of unvarnished truth
into a very small compass, The report
will be eagei'ly'suught. after by those
desirous of gaining a knowledge of the
Trail creek minis, and llml it may

We have heard of u system of irrigation lieing applied tn liens to make

to prevent them scratchingupagni'den
when sown in the spring, I he following
unique method was adopted byiifai'iner
of the neighborhood who prides himself upon being somewlint of an inventive turn of mind, viz., that of
covering the feet of the chicken with
iiioi-i-itsiiis. To prevent the roosters
following their natural proclivities for
scratching, they were doubly handicapped liy having their legs hobbled as
well. The ludicrous sight presented l.y

conditions can better be imagined than
described.
Typhoid fever seems to be gaiiiing a
foothold in Vernon, as several cases
have been reported recently and last
week it claimed a victim iu the person
of Miss Middlelun, a young lady who
up to the time ot being laken sick
might have lieen looked upon as one of
Vernon's healthiest and most robust
residents. Many cases of mountain
fever mv also to be met with all over
the country, which can only lie attributed to the state of the weather,
which, to say the least, has been extremely trying to any but the strongest
constitutions. Wherever the dreiid
disease of typhoid has made lls appear-
mice no doubt its presence may lie attributed lo the use of bad water nn.l
defective drainage, and ns Vernon is
noted for bolh, no surprise need be
manifested if ol her victims are claimed
by Ihe same disease,

MINING   NOTES.
0. L. Thomet returned Friday from
completing assessment work on the
Elkhorn in Providence camp.
Spencer Beiinerman and C. L. Thomet leave this week to do assessment
wort on the Fremont and Big Windy
in Providence camp.
It is slated that. Mr. W. ti. Rush of
the Tacoma Suiel ting woike lias organized a syndicate for the purpose of
building a smelter of 200 tons daily
capacity at Vancouver. It istheinten"
tenlion to make it a customs smelter,
and it is aniinounced tin company hns
a capital of $750,000 to put inlo the
enterprise,
One of the largest. |mlning deals that,
has ever taken place in Brilisli Co-
liinibin up 10 the present time, is Ihe
sale of the Crown Point group of claims
for the, sum of $1100,000, the greater
portion of which was paid in cash.
Jim Dale returned on Friday from a
three weeks' prospecting trip'on the
West Fork of Kettle river. He located
one cluim, the Carnii, nbout 00 miles
from Midway. The ..re is quurtz well
mineralized, carrying galena, zinc
blende and iron pyrites. The vein is
aboul 4 feet. wide.
A rumor is afloat to the effect thut
the bond on the War Ea"("le in Rnss-
Innil has been taken up, lut no direct
confirmation of the news is forthcoming. Tbe bunds included nn option of
purchase of oilier properties at llie following prices: War Kngle, $1,000,000j
Iron Musk, $500,1X10, nnd Virginian,
$125,000. II is generally believed tliat
the War Eagle only has been taken at
the figures above quoted.
Upon"good;nulhorily it is reported
that a very rich chute of ore bus been
discovered;upon 111.) Volcanic claim
on Ine* Norlli" Fork of Kettle river,
nwned'liy Ihe new Olive Mining company, The ore has only just been
broken into, so thai tbe size of the ore
body "has not yet been ascertained, hut
thficliaracter of the ore is everything
that could be desired, as beside', its
gold viilne, it is freely Impregnated
with native copper.
Articles of incorporation were filed
on August, 31 for the Olive Mining
company, the capilul of which is the
enormous sum of $20,000,000. The
officers are: Presidenl. ti. P. Shope,
Chicago| vice-president, John A. Man-
ley, Grand Forks; secretary, Hurry
W. Treat, Chicago! treasurer, Edward
W. Blewi'tt, Seattle. The trustees in
nddilion to llie foregoing names are
Mr. McOnllj Midway, und Neils Lntsen,
Grand Forks. Tlie company is formed
for the purpose of working the Volcanic group of claims on "llie North
Fork of Kellle liver, siluateii;about 10
miles above Grand Forks, The development already cairied out and
which cost several thousand dollars, showed enormous bodies of ore to
exist in the group, which it will take
years lo thoroughly prospect, nnd
which in Ihu carrying out 'nil eat up a
considerable amount of the cnpilal of
file company. Willi a railway, malting plants und good uinniigeinent, Ihe
company should become one of tbe
most, influential upon Iheciilinunl, us
there is no denying the fact Ihnt lhey
huve a great property upon which to
experiment,
The past week has seen another
force of men put to work In one of our
camps, for on Mo inlay last ten men
started development un the Mother
Lode in D.'iidwooil. A bond wns taken
.. slim I. time ago on lbe Mother Lode
l.y Mr. John Weir of New York who,
logel her «il li his associates, are at lhe
present time developing Iwo olher of
the principal claims in the Bnunilary
creek districl, viz., the Big Copper and
the No. 7. The Mother Lode was lo
caled in the spring of 1801 by Mr. W,
McCormick and others, and basnlivuys
been considered a properly thut would
upon developinenl prove itself to be of
enormous extent and richness, Th
surface showing uponjllie claim is so
immense thai no Idea can lie gleaned
as lo ivhul ils size will be when deplh
is iillaiued and ciossintling reveals
lhe true character of the ore deposit,
To facilitate development; no doubt
diamond drills will he employed in
prospecting, besides the sinking of the
cusU.niili'y shnfls, which ill this case
it is intended lo limp down to tt depth
of 150 feel. In the absence of Mr,
Weir, Mr. Kelfer bus sole charge of
operations and work is being pushed
upon the several properties with great
