Jacobs.] The Jewel group of mineral claims is owned liy tlie Jewel Gold Mines.Ltd., a company organized in London, England, with a capital of £00,000 in 00,000 shares of £1 each. Of I hest 00,000 were Issued us fully paid np, in payment for the mining properties acquired, 20,000 were subscribed for at par, and the remaining 10,000 ate available for sale or other disposal for the benefit of the company whenever deemed desirable. The group consists of the Jewel, Debero Grande, Gold Drop nnd Massachusetts claims anil the Imperial and Exposition fractions, situate about eight miles north of Greenwood, in the Kettle River Mining Division, Boundary District, British Coliiniliia. A Whgon road connects the group with Greenwood, and another road, which will give access to the Canadian Pacific Railway company's riiihvay at Eholt Junction, four miles distant, is now in course of construction. The Jewel und Denero Grande were the Hist claims in Long Lake eamp to huve development work of importance done on them. They were bonded in 1800 hy Mi. Leslie Hill, C. E„ for the Prospecting .Syndicate of British Coliiniliia. A small steam hoisting plant, the Hrst, brought into the Boundary district, wus hauled from Greenwood to the Jewel in January, 1807;that year developnienl s were sufficient lo demonstrate I hat i lie Jewel gave promise of proving u mine that il would pay to work. Later the Jewel Development Syndicate wus formed to take over these ptopei ties, and ii afterwards acquired the other claims in lhe group. This syndicate spent iilionl $20,000 in further development und tlie present larger company wus formed und thi claims and ull other assets weie tians- feired to ii fora consideration of 00,000 fully pnid up shares, To date some OHO lineal feel of sinking anil raising und ubout, 1,000 feel of cmssi'is i'tg aud drifting h.ive been done in development of the Jewel, and this constii nits tlie chief purl of the Underground work done on ihe group. The ore occurs ill a fissure vein running approximately north und south and varying from Iwo to eight feet in wiili li, averaging about lliree feet six inches. The mine has ut different times be. n examined and reported on by several well known mining engineers, one of whom described the vein tilling or gaiigue as "quartz currying considerable quantities of galena, nine blende, iron pyrites, and occasionally, in smaller quantities, ruby silver, tellurium anil tellurides of gold and silver,whilst free gold is of exceedingly rare occur rence," The southern part nf (he Jewclclaim is for about B00 feet in ii syenite forma tion and the remaining l.Ouo feet in quai'tzite. At thp contact the vein ap penis to fault by a displacement of almut 300 feet. Most of the above mentioned work has been dune in the syenite, where au incline shafl has been sunk SIS feel, following I lie vein on its easterly dip of about 15 degrees. Three levels havo been run. each north ami south al 120, 830and 830 feet depth respectively. Theie have opened up a shoot of ore about 150 feel in length ami have.made available for extraction, according to one engineer's estimate, about 20,000 Ions of ore above the 3S0 foot" level. Underfoot the vein is strung and has every appearance of continuing down to a much greater depth. When the 2:ill fool level wus the low est working In the Jewel, lhe mine was reported on by Mr. D, J. AIcDonald, who was for a time au Inspector of Mines for British Colunihia, and afterwards tilled a responsible position with tlie company then owning the Le Roi mine, llosjlund, B. C. Mr. MacDonald carefully sampled thc mine uud obtained assay values in gold and silver, chiefly gold, ranging from $1 to $Si. From S5 samples taken from different parts of tlie mine the average assuy return was $i;i.:i!l per ton of 2,000 Ihs. Other laboratory tests have confirmed these values and during the current year 100 tons of Jewel ore, sent lo the B.C. Bullion and Reduction company's works near Rossland for experimental purposes, showed a value of u fraction less than $12 per Ion and by calculation anexiraclioiiof87.fi per cent, by concentration and cyiuiidation of tnilings. The faulted portion of the vein- known as the north east vein, in contradistinction to the Jewel vein, as the southern part is called—outcrops higher up tho hillside, showing for about 1,000 feet in Jewel ground and some 3,000 feet through the Enterprise, Anchor and another claim beyond. Open cuts and three prospect shafts, two on the Jewel and one on lhe Enterprise, show this vein to he strong between well defined walls, and averaging about five feet in width. The Enterprise shaft is down 110 feet. Of the two on the Jewel one is 80 feet and the other 120 feet and still going down. The latter is to be sunk lo300 feet und a drift is to be run at Ihe 150 foot level to prove Ihe vein at lhat depth. The considerable difference in surface elevation has encouraged the management lo endeavor lo cut this northeast vein at a greater depth by means of a drive from the 230 foot level of the main workings, Tliis drive has passed through the fault und is now in the quartzite, and crosscuts are being run with the object of intersecting the faulted vein. Should it be met with on Ihis level it will give 500 feet of bucks iu the northern portion of the claim, so rapid is the i ise on the surface, The results of the exploitation of this vein aie being awaited before the determination of the directors to electa stamp mill and suitable reduction plant shall be curried into effect. Should the northeast vein maintain its strength downwards and the ore prove of a similar character and value to that already blocked out in the Jewel vein—and so far indications are favorable to their doing so—tlie instill latinn of a 10-stii n-p mill and a cyanide or other chemical plant will be proceeded with, hut should a contrary result ensue the reduction appliances will be on u sniuller scale. The company owns an excellent mill site, situate close to and ubove Long Luke, and distant about2,000 feet from the Jewel main shnfl. The grading for a mule tramway tn this site, on a six per cent grade, has already been done, It is proposed to use electrical power, to be supplied hy t he Cascade Power „ Light conipany, Ltd., for lhe mill machinery. The Jewel company has its own sawmill locaied nt the edge of the lake, below the slump mill site, The plant aud machinery in use at Ihe mine include a 60 horse power horizontal return tubular boiler, a 25 horse power upright boiler, a 4 drill linml straight line air compressor, a iSxlO air receiver, several 3J Litlle (liuiil machine drills, two 5x5 Bacon hoists, four station and sinking pumps und other appliances. This plant is small but. it has so far been adequate to the needs of the mine. A cautious and conservative policy has been pursued from the outset. The capital hos lieen restrtebsd to actual requirements and the ultimate object of makiug the mine a dividend payer has been kept steadily ill view. The development of the mine was ut first under the direction of Mr. Leslie Hill, who did excellent work. Enter Mr. Gilbert Million assumed charge as mine manager, and he has purposely deferred putting in a mill and other plant in order to better asceitain the quantity of ore available, so ns lo admit of the capacity of the mill being adjusted to the requirements of the mine, nnd to more accurately determine the chemical promising best insults in tile treatment of the ore, The mine bus an abundant supply of limber and water, and sufficient ore iu sight to warrant tlie erection of a small mill, but this latter notwllhstttllding, Inr the reasons slutid a slow uml sure nnl" icy bus been followed, nnd, ton, lhe provision of Improved facilities as ru. gutds power, the shipping of concern (rules, etc., bus been awaited uml development operations have I n timed accordingly, ,.. . The Ruby. The work being dune on Ihe Ruby mineral claim, in .Smith's cump, near Boundary Falls, is showing np a nien body of copper ore, In one place the ore is about four feet in LhlckneBS, nnd is more solid thnn any Ihal. hnd previously been exposed in quantity on the clnim. So much preliminary woik had to be done in the wny of rond- making, getting in nnd fixing the IB- horse power port able boiler mul engine, repniiing buildings, etc, lhat it litis only been practicable during the past week or so to get, down to actual prospecting for the ore, One open cut into the liiil is showing a goml luce of ore, a lot of which is Icing piled ou the dump. Another cut, distant about 480 feet, is also in line ore, whilst a third opening, below the latter nnd appai" ently on the width rather than the length of the lead, is the prettiest looking ore yet found on the claim, The indications ure that u few weeks' work will prove the pccuneiice on the Ruby of me in considerable quantity, and that another mine will heie be added to those in the Boundary now maintaining regular shipments to the smelters. The Ruby workings are within a quarter of n mile of the Standard Pyritio company's smelter, so lhat when these works shall be in operation it will he easily praciicuble ti run an aerial tramway down to them, the mine workings being at a much higher level than tlie smelter, The Ruby is under bond to Detroit, Michigan, parties, represented by F, W. Hi.ye», pr*"=ident of the First National Bunk of Detroit, who is expected lo shortly visit the claim. The same people have also acquired the nil- joining clninis-lhe Ituby fraction, 95, Horseshoe nlul Sylvunite. The development work is being done under the direction of .lames Hamilton, who lind many years' experience iu opening up new properties. Develops Chesaw Claims. Harry Elliott, Df Spokane, is engaged in doing assessment work on the Don't Ciiiutux claim and bus some good showings, The Don'l Cumtux is located three miles north of Chesaw and is owned by Spokane people, The properly wns locaied this spiing mid this is the first work done ou it. A shaft has been sunk ou I he ledge which is now down about 15 feet. The ledga is four feet wide, giving barely shaft room, nnd from all appearances is very rich. No assays bave been made on ihe rock as yet, but quantities of gnld and copper ure visible to lhe naked eye. The walls me well defined und are free from the ledge. Tlie claim is lo, iiied in li good sec* tion, ns near it nre located some of the best claims in the district. Adjoining the Don'l Cumtux on the ninth is the Wild Si raw berry, on whicli a large iinioinit of development work hns been done this seiison, while just west is iv well developed property owned by Dennis McCnrty, on which it is report* ed that nn eastern COUipnny look un option u few days ago. Nenr by also is the Wisconsin, owned hy a Spokane company, wliicli lias been well developed. Mr. Elliott Bays that he will sink lhe shaft several feel deeper before returning to Spokane, Ho is tlie owner of several good clninis nenr by on whicli he will do assessments w'hile tliere, BOUNDARY ORE SHIPMENTS.

Midway is fast becoming an Important shipping centre. West of here is ii rich mining country aud every pound of oie thai goes from ihe mines to Ihe smelters is brought to Midway for shipment., Up the Weet Fork there are a number of properties that are getting in readiness for shipping ore this coining winter, of these the Carmi was the most important to ship ore last winter, although a number of others made small shipments, but this year a number of gond strikes nave been made of sufficient importance to warrant the owners operating them and making steudy shipments, and each year the number will be added to until the West Folk country will he no small factor in making Midway the shipping centre it is last liecoming. Cump McKinney, too, finds Midway its most convenient shipping point. The famous Caribou luis hauled ils concentrates here ever since the completion of the railroad and this camp will later on place a number of properties on the shipping list thus adding considerably to our shipments, But tlie ore shipments, f10111 Midway are not confined entirely lo tins side of the International boundary line, there are, as well, a number of important mines to the south of here that are either hauling or getting in a position to haul their ores here for shipment to the different smelters. The mines of the various camps to the south of here are as yet very few in comparison to the number there will he later on, so that taking the mineral country that is tributary lo this place with the number of mines that are hauling ore here for shipment, Midway is fast becoming an important shipping centre. THE ROSALIE. A West Fork Property that Will Shortly be Commenced. C. Jii. .Shaw, P. L. S. is at present engaged in sui.eying u number ol mineral clninis up the West Fork, in the vicinity of Beaverdell. Among others be is surveying the Rosalie on whieh there is enough «ork done to obtain a crown grant, which will be applied torso soon as Mr. Shaw completes the survey. The Rosalie is situate aboui five miles north east of Beaverdell and lies about half way between the Knob Hill uml Ellsworth. Itwas located in July WIS by W, E. McBoyle, who afterwards sold a one half interest in it to Robert Woods, who turned it in, among ii number of other claims, to the Vancouver ond Boundary Creek Mining and Development Company of which he is president. It was the first claim to he located on the mountain where the Knob Hill is situate, hut since then nil I be country around there has been stated. There are two shafts Bunk on the property one-10 feet and the other about 20 feet in deplh, both in ore which assayed all the way from $10 to $47 in gold. There are two distinct ledges on the Rosalie. The one heing twelve feel wide and assaying from $10 to $12 in gold; the other, which is hetween live and six feet in width, has been traced for 800 feet, and is of good ore, the lowest assay ever received from this ledge being $23 while as high as $47 has heen obtained. rea NEWS FROM THE MINES. coiupanys omce. aiiiu.ii urns,, cue eon I factors for lhe lodging house und hoarding house, are also innking excellent headway with these buildings. Tenders are now being called for a superintendent's residence, to be start - ed Immediately- The Snowshoe has quite a force of men employed stripping the wash off the ledge on the surface, it being the Intention of the management to have another "glory bole" like ull the other hig Boundary properties. An average of a cur of oie a day is being shipped from tliis hig surface cut. At the Winnipeg everything is being put into shape for a hard winter's work. The shaft on the railroad showing is down ahoul 50 feel, and from this they are shipping an average of a cur every two days. An assay oflice is now being (ixed up by Simon Jacobs, the lineman. From the information obtainable tho Winnipeg is looking exceedingly well and with half show ought to mak" a dividend payer. Men left last Friday for the Ciirini mine, wliere work is to be resumed, It is understood that us soon as tlie sleighing shall he good enough fur heavy hauling ore will again he ship ped to Midway, and taken ihenoe by rail to Ihe smeller at. (ireenwood. Last winter the Canni sent down ti8"> tuns of ore of good grade und preparations are being mude lu considerably increase the output this coming winter. The Oranhy company is prospecting it big ridge on its Knoh Hill and Gray Eagle properties, with a view to let ting the work of removing the surplus debris on contract, preliminary to considerably extending its surface ore quarrying operations, The area to be stripped is about HDD feet long by UUU feet wide. The same company has commenced work on the Gray Eagle on the south slope of the hill, iim.iii 1,000 feet south of the southern boundary line of the Knob Hill. An enormous showing of ore outcropping here is being stripped, the intention being to open another big quarry and work northerly towards the Knob Hill quarry on Ihe north slope of the hill, which is being extended southwards, these together will give a length of about 2,500 feet along which quarrying can be done in ore. At the British Columbia Oopper company's Mother Lode mine, Dead- wood camp, a single blast recently brought down more than 2,00!) tons of ore. This was in No. 1 quarry and was the result of firing four deep holes. Two more slopes were lately opened at the Ml foot level of this mine, und at the 300 foot level the new plan of working—pillar snd stope—has been fairly started, so thai several staples will shortly l-e opened in this level as well. The north drift at tbe800 foot level is being extended, exploring the ore body at lhat deplh, and i distance of 400 feet fnun the main shaft has now been reached, ivniju vvni 11 A_- T T bmt It is only a question ofa short time until that portion of the Coast-Kootenay Railway from Curlew to Midway will be constructed. This line would be now being built, but for the scarcity of laborers. When this road is built, most of the spur lines to the different mining camps will start from here, making this the railway centre of this district. With the advent of more railways into Midway the prices of real estate will advance, and the choice lots purchased and taken off the market. Show your good judgment by buying now. Midway property will make you rich. It is not a speculation, it is an investment. For prices and terms apply to THE MIDWAY COMPANY, Ltd. The King's Birthday Will be Celebrated. Ottawa, Oct. 7.-The Oth of November, King Edward's birthday, will be a public holiday. Under the Interpretation act among the holidays enunciated is "The birthday, or day fixed by proclamation for lhe celebration of lhe birthday, of the reigning sovereign.'' There seems to be. no intention to issue any proclamation fixing another day, an thai the Oth of November will be generally observed as a public holiday. MINERAL ACT 1896.

To carry 100,000 Ontario bass across the comment and transplant them in the lakes of British Columbia in the vicinity of Vancouver is a task which the Doniinion government has undertaken to perforin. Heretofore all efforts to ship bass or uny other kind of fish of eastern waters further thai! Manitoba or tlie Territories have been unsuccessful, therefore the present move is yery much of an experiment. For many days Mr. J. Parker and a staff of men have been engaged fitting up a car for this purpose. A baggage car will lie used, tiding the side of which will lie ranged a couple of dozen barrels and in tlie center of tlie car tanks for holding fresh water, The barrels, whicli will contain the fish, will he connected by tubes and fresh water will constantly be pumped through them from the tanks, But. the problem which has been perplexing the authorities in the shipping of fish such a long distance is that of charging tlie water with sufficient quantity nf oxygen to maintain the life of the fish for the live or six days of tlie journey. A novel device lias been determined upon, which it is expected will overcome this difficulty. This device is operated on the principle of a fanning mill and is intended to charge the water in wliieh the fish Hwim with the required oxygen as often as required. The fish will be taken from a lake near Belleville, Ont., and brought from Belleville to Brockvillc in a large tank on hoard a scow. At Brockville they . will lie placed in the car prepared for them and the car will lie attached to tho Pacific Express at Carleton Place and hurried across the continent. None but healthy minnows aliout two inches in length will be selected. It may be stated that tlie device fnr pumping oxygen into the water was recently tested by government officials at one of the tlatineau lakes und proved successful.—Ottawa Journal. Theft at Republic.
