MANY DIFFERENT CAMPS The Result ot Initial Work Hat Dent. onstrated that the Company His Several Very Oood Properties. A conipnny that has done considerable work on its properties and dcm- mistral i-i) thai several of them will be rich producers, is the Vancouver & Bouudary Creek Developing and Mining Conipany, Limited. L'nst winter Rohert Wood, president of the compuny, visited Kngland for Ihe purpose of ohtaining capital to fur ther develop the properties, and as his trip proved successful there will he n large amount of work done on the company's mines during the presenl year. The following taken from the company's prospectus is a short description of the -{roups of claims owned hy the company, and of the work done thereon : The Penticton group is situate on Okanogan lake, near the lown of Penticton, British Columbia. The claims, ten in uuinlier, embrace an urea of over four bundled acres, and are a- follows : Tlie Okanagan, the Excelsior, ihe Klomlyke, the Torpedo, the Bellevue, the Imperial,, Ihe Peuticton, ihe Cloud Hope, the Lightning fraction and the Espuroii, The sum of Hfteeu thousand dollars (ippioxiinntely three thousand pounds) has been spent in lhe machinery, development end surveying of this gionp, Tbe 'jliiini upon which most development has been done is the Okamigan. The company ha., built a substantial whe.rf on this properly, close to Ihe tunnel developing it, and only on hall' mile distant from the government wharf at Penticton, The steamers operated hy the Canadian Paciflc railway conipany call at this company's wharf on their way to and from Pen Iictou to deliver machinery and sup plies, and to lake shipments of ore. These steamers I hen run up the lake forty-five miles lu couuect with their trains, which run to the head of tin- lake. The ore from this property can. therefore, he dumped right fiom the ore cars as they come out of the mine into bins on the wharf, from which ii can he automai it-ally shot into tbe railway cars. In addition to the wharf Ihere huve been built boarding houses, blacksmith shop and engine house containing a thirty live horsepower boiler operating the hoist, pump, &c. The main vein is a true fissure vein of n very clearly defined character, the hicf values of the ore being in gold and copper, The principal develop inent consists of a tunnel on the vein ninety feet long from which a shaft has beeu stink, double compartment. one hundred fee'., then a crosscut tif leen feet to encounter the vein which had dipped out uf lhe shaft; from this crosscut a drift or underground lunnel was run ou the. vein seventy feet west and one hundred feet east; this drift one hundred and seventy feet on the vein al a depth from the surface of one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet shows up the vein in n very desir hie manner, especially as it progresses towards the east and depth Increases. As lhe drift approaches iu present face the ore body widens out lo seven feet, the average relurns from which aie twenty dollars (approximately forn pounds) per ion, A most thorough test, whs made of the ore from this at different singes of its development 1 considerable quantities uf It having been shipped to the Tacoma smelter, to the Hall Mines smelter, to Ihe Briiish Columbia School of Mines, to Mr. Pellew- Harvey, the government assay- ur, whose assay of Yukon and oilier gold is accepted in the raso of the purchase of gold hy ihe hunks In Vancouver and lo numerous other metallurgist, and lhc consistent, average is, as hefore stated, twenty dollars (approximately four pounds) per ton, demonstrating llmt. wilh Increased machinery the claim could lm made to pay a large prolit yearly. A short time after the beginning of developments on a large scale shipment* could be commenced igulai-ly of one hundred tons per _ay. Allowing for cost of milling, freight anil Ireatment, the sum of thirteen dollais (approximately two pounds twelve shillings), the profit of seven dollars (approximately one pound ighi shillings) per ton, or seven hundred dollars (over one hundred and forty-tour pounds) pet day would he made. This, as development increases, would he very materially Increased. Ou other claims of tbis group three are shafts and cross-cuts on the leads making a very promising showing. The Klomlyke is an extent ion of the Okanagan to lhe easterly, and the Torpedo wraps itself around the westerly end catching about one thousand feet of the lead in that direction. The Penticton Is on Penticton creek, on which the Company has secured a line water power capable of supplying all these claims, with ample power for development, etc. It also has a fine surface showing of ore of a character similar to tbe Okanagan, in places ten feet wide ; this showing would justify prospecting. The Company having proved that they have a mine In this group which will, with increased development, earn gond dividends, next turned its attention lo the development of Ihe high grade properties of Ihe Sally group. It is situated on the Wesl Pork of the Kettle River in British Columbia, and comprises twelve claims, aggregating in area approximately four hundred acres. The names of the claims are a* follows :-The Sally, tbe Rob Roy, the Sally fraction, the Exc-dsior.lhe. Highland Queen, the Castor fraction, the Kid fraction, the Pueblo, the Tunnel, the Alice M. and Hard Times. These claims are crossed hy several true fissure veins of high grade ore. Each vein Is very clearly defined and easily followed for hundreds of feet. There has heen spent on their development nver seven thousand five hundred dollars (about fifteen hundred pounds), and the improvement in the property with each font of work done is remarkable, The most important work has been done on the Sally and Rob Roy, being slmfis, tunnels and crosscuts, aggregating ahout nine hundred lineal feet; fiom Ihese two claims the ledges have been traced across oilurs of ihe Company's claims for many hundreds of feet, nnd so soon as devel opulent tin a large scale is commenced the other claims will be thoroughly exploited. The hundreds of assays taken show Ibe contents of the.*" ledges to he uniformly high grade, tin values lieing in gold, silver aud lead. In order to make certain that Ihese high values would maintain in a larger quantity lhan could be tested by assay, iho company, in the face of serious freighting difficulties, made a trial shipment lasl, spring lo the Hall Mines smelter, at Nelson, British Columbia, of forty thousand pounds weight, receiving for the same from the smelt et thirteen hundred mid forty six dollars and twenty eighl cents(appioximntely two hundred and seven! y*eighl pounds twelve shillings, the smelting company first deducting the very heavy charge of over fifteen dollars (over Ihree pounds) per ton for freigh treatment mil usual smelter deductions, This would be a very handsome profit were it not for the heavy expense of raw- hiding and freighting tbe ore down to ibe railway, which will be obviated so 'oon ns the company completes a road tn the claims ; even with all the expenses Ihere was a good profit in lhe shipment, The company has received it much lietter olfer with regard to freight nnd treal ment from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who own a smelter at Trail, British Columbia, and on whose inilway the ure would be shipped from Midway. Substantial building have been erected, including ure bins, blacksmith simp, cabins, etc. Thc group has la-en surveyed by Unheal civil engineer in the country, ('. _B. Shaw. C. E„ D. L. S„ through whose care and honesty several large fractional claims of great Importance have been discovered and located with practically no expense to the coinpaiiy. There Hie two clearly defined veins traceable right across the Sally claim, both carrying high grade ore, and it whs from one of these veins, most conveniently tbuated wilh regard to this trail, that lhe shipment of twenty tons mentioned above was made. Tunnel ling tn the extent of two hundred and eighty lineal feet has been completed on this claim. In one shoot the ore laxly is over thiee feet wide, the Vftlll" of which would average approximately ninety dollars (approximately eighteen pounds) per ton in guld, silver and lend. The main ledge on the Rob Roy averages about, ten feet in width, carrying shouts nf high grade ore, aud It will all ultimately pay to I rent, The opinion of our engineer, corroborated by men of large experience iu lhat class of mining, Is that these shoots of rich ore will in some places In the vein combine tngethei Into u hody of remarkable value. These and olher veins on llm company's claims have been t'lteed by series of surface crosscuts | in all these crosscuts the om appears nnd gives high values in gold, silver and lend. The mountain being very steep, affords a itiost favorable opportunity for ton- nelling nn the vein, lhe cheapest kind of quart-/, mining, involving as it does nn hoisiing machinery and no pimp. Ing i besides this, ore is being taken out as the tunnel is driven. If ,t main tunnel were run on a central lend, When considerable deplh had been gained, a crosscut would, he made to intersect the other leads, which are only a short distance jipiil-l. Immediately upon the completion of a short road and a few other Improvements the Sally group can commence shipments of ore of from ten lo fifteen tons per day i ihis amount, would stain lie largely augmented as development and facilities Increased. Witb the reduced freight and smelter cha-gee, and greatly reduced cosl of moving the ore the railway, the nel profit on ihis ore would he approximately fifty* Hve dollars (approximately eleven pounds) per ton, or per day from five hundreds and tifly dollars (ilppt'oxi* inately one hundred and ten pound.-) to eight hundred and twenty-five dollars (approximately one hunched and sixty-five pounds.) This, as before stated, would lie largely increased aa development on the various claims aud ledges proceeded. In the same district as the Sally group, a few miles northerly frnm it on Beaver Creek, which is a tributary of the. K-ttle, is Ihe Tripple Lake group, composed of the Kingston, the Boston, and the Houston claims, wilh an aggregate area, of aliout one hundred and fifty acres. On Ihere claims the stun of ahum, fifteen hundred dollars (approximately three hundred pounds) has been spent for develop ment. The Kingston shows np a fine lead of five feet in width, carrying ore running fiom ten to fifteen dollar.) (approximately Iwo to lliree pound ) per ton In gold, but sufficient depth hts nol been gained lo arrive jii s settled formation, when from all indications the ore will become more solid und Ihe values increase. The Boston bus been prospected by stripping tlie lead, which carries in places a fine lively quartz, froth wliieh assays hnve been obtained as high one hundred and twenty-five du;!--ti-< (approximately twenty-five pounds') per ton in gold. The Houston c.rrles the same vein* as the Kingston. Thi. vein has been exposetl by stripping and liy numerous crosscuts', Willi the above group imiy be included the Maple Leaf giottp, also oil Betivi-i- The group is uoutpnsed of the Mapie Leaf Number Two, 1 he Number Three, the Vittlet, and a one half inlerest In the Rosalie j tbey have a combined area of over one hundred and fifty acies, The first three of these claims have been but lightly prospected, showing up 11 strong lead, citi tying a good show ing in copper ore. The Rosalie shows up with development in a most favorable manner, tlie vi-ui carrying ore in places which has [riven assays from ten lo forty-five dollars (jipprojiimately two lo nine pound*) per ton in gold, The Long Lake group comprises Ihe Golden Eagle and Electric, and a one- half inteiest iu the Noi Ih Star, tlio Lake View and lbe Oainigoini. *lh-.- group ts seven miles from the City of (Ireenwood, Ilritish Columbia, fiuui which a good wagon toatl runs lo tlie claims, The area comprised by tier properties would be appioximuuly Iwo hundred acres. The stun of eight thousand dollars (approximately uix- teen hundred pounds) has been spent iu developnienl, The ore is of ft-.- character known as free milling, on st uf lhc values being iu gold, aud ib would, thru-fine, le very cheaply treated in a stamp mill, The company owing 1 he Jewel Mine, adjoining ih« Nort ll Slur, oropose to elect sueli a mill, ami are having largo quantities of their ore tested for tile purpose >.f deciding upon the best machinery, concentrating system, etc., befoul building. They have spent about seventy-live thousand dollars (app.to.-i- mutely fifteen thousand pounds) oil their development, nnd have mer fifty thousand Ions of pay ore blocked out and ready for the mill, The vein nre of the North Slar are ef a similar character to the Jewel, and the one mill would be able tu treat the ores of both properties, The development work on the North Star consists of several shafts, some crosscuts, and 11 tunnel one hundred and seventy feet long on the vein, opening 'up in different places line bodies of ore of good quality ; ihe vein will average four feel in width, Looking toward lhe advisability of erecting a mill, the ore of all guide?, ftom portal to face of I be I mine!, was most carefully tested by a thoroughly com* pelent mining engineer, who reported that the average of the ore, good, hud and indifferent, was over sixteen dollars (appioximtitely three pounds font' shillings per ton).

These things aro but straws floating with the tide, but Ibey show things and they give the dreamer, or rather the idealist, hops for the'ftiture days.

He wus neither ; lie only lived before his time. When Bellamy wrote "Looking Backwards" the reading public accepted il its a new phase of lilerattirH and one likely to pay its author well. No one .dr. unit for a moment that Edward Bellamy was sincere, yet the author got no more than forty dollars for his book, and he died of starvation in u 10x8 garret, in Chicago four years ngo, ti victim of his sincerity. Six years ago a book was wrillen called "Merrie England." In it Ihe author advocated a Utopian ideal, a world of I lie people and all people at peace, und a bond of union in tbe shape of a central conven Lion to include all nations. He, too, was called a dreamer, but it seems today us if I lie bygone dreams were to become actual fact. Utopia, in the sense of communism, can only grow froni the inside through a people and u mil ion. The problem of existence is then for us, how best lo solve the drawback of the race and raise it to the highest practical level. Cummer- cialism is today the controlling force in our nations, hul it docs not raise, il debases. The pursuit of wealth is sordid ; ii. is the outcome of the theory that the weakest must go I o the wall, and iu fulfillment of this It is the cause of untold destitutions, millions hungry while millions have more than ihey eat, thousands homeless while ihous a lids have homes for thousands more, and all because of the plausible maxim, the survivrl of lhe,fittest.

The body wus acconi- muiiied from Camp McKinney by Mrs, Howe. Captain Howu met death in the Waterloo mine on Friday week. He wus in charge of the property as manager, nnd on the afternoon- of tne day in question started down the shaft to inspect the workings in company with nn employee ot the corporation. The bucket ill which Ibey were lowered was equipped with the cross- head, ordinarily used under such cir- ciimstances,and it was this contrivance that caused the trouble. - While the bucket was lieing lowered, one of lhe shoes on the cioss head jimmied, and Ihe apparatus stuck in the shaft,while the bucket continued to drop at tbe ordinary rale, Finally one of the limbers foi tiling the cro*sheud became detnehc-d nnd fell,-striking. Captain Howe ou tlie head anil fracturing .his skull. The blow knocked hiliijout of the huckel und he fell thirty feet lo lhe bottom of the shaft, breaking his right leg in two places and injuring one of his hands. The engineer in the head works was unaware of the accident and continued to lower-the bucket Until it reached the initortii- oitle man nt the hotioin of the shaft, causing a severe sc.alp wound over the forehead. The accident happened at 3:25 o'clock, Captain Howe's watch stopping when lie fell from the buckei. The injured man lived twenty minules afler receiving the terrible injuries. The decens-d gentleman wus forty- five years pfng", and left a wife "who had only joined him ill Catnp McKin ney a week before the fatality,' He was a nulive nf Ihe United Stn'i-s iital a graduate of Ihe Wesl Point National Military Academy, Ongraduaiion,he was drafted to one of the regular-engineering corps nf the United States army and served for a number of years with Ihe colors. The most stirring edisnde of his military career was his experience with General Custer's command in the Black Hills. It is stated ibat Captain Howe wits one of lliree men to escape the Custer massacre by Sitting Bull and his war party. In any event he cairied a numher of bullets ill his body and drew a pension from the United States government for services rendered. " On leaving the army Captain Howe, who had attained this rank, went into mining which he followed in Colorado, California, Nevada and Idaho.

Development on lbe Providence mine is giving very Bailsfactory results, Work was begun on this property lastOclnber by Mr. Fowler when he leased the properly from Howard ('. Walters. The Providence Wjib loeiiti-d by Will. Dickinan in 1*1)2. The discovery which led tothe property being slaked was simply a boulder of quarts ou whiub it shaft was sunk mid 11 tons of on- taken out, when ibe ore ran out in cement wash, Mr. Hickman then sold tbe claim to Howard C. Wallers, of Spokane, who lunl to do with the American Hoy, He sank 85 feet.and during tbis development shipped Ji5 tons of ore to the Tacoma smeller mul 11) tons to Everett, The transportation of the ore to lhe Tacoma smeller wns very expensive, as it was Inki-n In 1803 before this district was developid, by puck train to Urand Praliie and thence by wagons to Marcus at an-average cost of $15 per ten, This lot ran 0^ oz. of gold nnd 200 oz. of silver to lhe ton. Nothing more was done to Ihe properly until last October, when Mr, Fowler leased the property froni Walters wiih power lo purchase at a price ii.lined. The work started last fall, and which is slill being prosecu'ed, consisted of an open cut following a little stringer of ore which was follow- d Into ihe hill .Vi feet, tbe stringer widening considerably as drifting was continued, until HI Inches of good ore was encountered. Of the 50 feet of drifting HI feet were in ore. At tlie end of the drift all upraise of 10 ft-it was made to the surface. A shaft was next, sunk front this drift, antl atSO feet down there is an average of 12 inches of solid ore, composed of zinc, galena and gray copper, wilb unlive and ruby silver showing freely and also carrying gold values. There are now four men at. work, and It is the Intention of Mr. Fowler to continue developing tbe property. Recently Hi tons of ore were senl to the Greenwood smelter. MINERAL ACT.

(Continued froni pmje 1.) cheap treatment free milling ore per* mils of, the margin of prolit 'votild be gond. The Golden liagle adjoins the North Star on the same lead, and forms a very vulutilile adjunct lo that claim. The Lake View has had two thousand dollars (approximately four hundred pounds) spent on its developnienl, comprising among other things a tunnel ahout o,ne hundred and Hfleen feet in length ; in this tunnel a shoot of ore was disclosed which widened lo four feet. Though it has now pitched down to a smaller width, Ihe vein has never heen losl, and it is the opinion of milling engineers of experience and judgment that further shoots of ore will come into lhe vein as the tunnel progresses. The average value of lhe ore in the face of the tunnel is thirty* three dollars (approximately six pounds twelve shillings) in gold per ton. The directors consider this group one of very great promise, and helieve that after work is fairly under way on the Sally and Penticton groups, it will he well t» do some further work on these claims. The Greenwood camp group com prises a nine-sixteenth interest in the Jl.uik of Kngland and Bank of England fraction claims, having an area of thirty acres. They tire situate close to the city of Phoenix, Ilritish Columbia, and are surrounded by producing mines ; the Canadian Pacific Kailway crusses this propeity. Close at hand are the Knob Hill antl Ironsides, operated by the Granby Mining and Smelting coinpaiiy, who recently erected a smelter, and have already treated from these properties over two hundred thousand tons of ore, the chief values being in copper, Only one claim distant, nnd due north, is Ihe well known mine, Ihe Snowshoe. The veins in this camp are said lo he lhe largest copper hearing veins in tlte world, the ore heing in places several hundred feet in widlh. It is not possible to say how wide the ledge on the Bank of England is, and as it is an expensive properly to work the company have only done the development necessary for assessment. A slut ft forty feel, deep has been sunk, froni which picked assays have been obtained as high as twenty dollars (approximately four pounds) per ton, The directors think these claims should be held till Ihe devrlopment on adjoining claims enhances their value, when the advahcBS already begun by adjacent owuefs [night be eiili'i-iaiiicd, and a sale, at a large price realized, The Deadwood camp grutip, situate about two niibe from Greenwood, comprises the Pixie and a one half interest in lhe .Midnight. These have an area of one hundred acres. The Dixie is olo-e to the Mother Lod-, which already supplies a smelter nf its nwn at Greenwood wiih "vr four hundred Ions of copper ure \ier day. The Midnight is close to ihe Buckhorn, which is a very pne cupper property. The Dixie has a hig body of mineral bear ing rock from which fair assays, principal! v iii copper, have leen obi allied. Tlie Midnight has two good broking quartz leads, but requires fm ther prospecting before a fair opiniun as to its value can he given. The Central camp group is situate about tight miles from Greenwootl, The company's claims there are lhe City of Armstrong, the Eugenie, the Boundary, the No. 0, the No. 15, and the following interests in otheis : One; eighth interest in the St. Mauiice, nne- third in the New Jack of Spades, two- thirds in the Excelsior, and the water rights uf the camp. The area of these claims is nver ihree hundred and lifty acres, and as several of these surround a group of mines wliieh have been considerably developed and for which a very high price was paid, it is thought that as soon as the company can get around lo it, the group will largely repay, development. The surface showings aru excellent, having been exploited by numerous shafts and crosscuts, >i< A despatch lo the Boston Transcript daled from Minneapolis declares lhat at the present rate of immigration from Ihe United States to the North* w"st of Canada, tliere will soon he two million "Americans" in Canada. The New York Tribune, while inclined to think the figures of the Transcript correspondent an over-statement, admits that "there is no doubt that a large Dumber of Americans ure crossing the line, attracted partly by the abounding richness of Western Canada and partly by the liberal indiicemenls offered in Ini migrants by Ihe Canadian Government. The provinces an_\ Territories of Manitoba, Assinibola, Alberta and British Columbia, not to speak nf Saskatchewan, Athabaska and Yukon, could easily support a pop illation of seventy-live million people, The wheat Ileitis of Manitoba and As- siniboiaare already famous, and they have as yel hardly begun lo lo cultivated. There are no liner cattle ranges in the world than in Alberta, while there is an apparently inexhaustible snpp'y of minerals and coal in British Columbia und Yukon. Saskatchewan and Athabaska are its yet unorganized, but in spite of their high latiiude their agricultural pnssihilltles are known lo lie very gieal," REMEHBER You can get what you need in Drugs, Patent Medicines, Stationery, &c, &c, at the Midway Pharmacy.
