OEOLOOICAL SURVEY REPORT. R. W. Brock Gives an Account of his Work In the Boundary, The-summary report ot Ihe Geological Survey Department for the calendar year of 11)01 is to hand. Referring lo the Boundary country ii says In part.: The work wns confined 11 portions of the Grand Forks antl Kettle river mining divisions of the Boundary dis trict. Comment ing field work ai (iiand Folks, llnrdy creek was ascended to Hardy mountain, and the country lie tween July creek and the North Fork of the Kettle river to the international hoiindary line was examined. From here the work was extended northward to Summit camp. From this point the area between Brown creek and the North Fork was examined'. Moving southward, the district between July creek and Boundary creek was exnminid a shott distance south of Wellington cainp. From Wellington camp July creek was descended and camp was moved to Grand Forks From Grand Forks, a tiip was made up the main North Fork of lhe Kettle river, to examine the rocks In which coal had recently been discovered. On returning to (irand Forks, work was extended from July creek to Boundary creek, south of Wellington camp, tothe Boundary line, including Central imd Atwood's camps, A travelse ea. then tnadii of the Columbia ,v. Western railway, between Midway and Grand Forks, the railway cuttings affording line exposures of the rocks of the district. The climate is drier lhan thai of West Konlenay, This, wilh the lower altitude of the mountains, tbe consequent lighter snowfall and more rapid melting in the spring, makes I he water supply less copious and reliable, although the district is slid fairly well watered. The valleys, as a rule, are large and wide, affording, In a number of instances, gootl ranching lands. Boundary oreek occupies the principal longllltudliial valley between the North Fork and ihe ninii) Keltic river, Along ils lower stretch it is a wide U- shaped valley, with gootl grazing laud on its lower slopes. The transverse valleys are short, and sleep, but still larger and older than the correspond ing valleys in West Kootenay. The topography, as a whole, is that of an older inountain district, Mosl. of the valleys are or have heen well wootled, The vegetation is similar lo that of West Kootenay. Thn open hillsides are u-imlly clothed with buiith grass, unci sage brush win observed nt one or two localities. Although this dislrict may be Ira* versetl With less difficulty lhan West Itnotinitiy,geological work is not much easier, as the covering nf drift in ninny placet)conceals the rotUs Jiud good ex posures are found with difficulty, if at all, Frequently the critical points,, such as contacts, are entirely drift, covered. While prospect pits nre usually lo be found, these are not altogether satisfactory for geological pur* poses, for mineralization obscures the original stl'ucnire, as lt alters the original character of Ihe rocks, Afler a few words on the nature and distribution of the rocks, a short account of the occurrence of ores in them will he given, As In the .Kootenay dislrict, the geology is complex and diversified, Eruptive rocks (greenstones, gran* lies, various ililrnsive dykes, tuffs and lavas, etc) have the widest distribution. Sedimentary locks, such as limestone, generally crystalline, argil* lites, quiirtzites, together with mrta- iiiorphic rocks including setpentines, are met with In almost all pjtrts of the district, but do not have very large dimensions in tiny one place, being caught up as inclusions in the intrusive eruptive rocks. The oldest rocks rec* Agnized in the dlslri'jt are Ihe sedimentary and crystalline rocks. Near Central camp are exposures of a gray inonzonite-like rock and dykes of thc similar rock occur in the gray granite near Greenwood end in the greenstone at tbe Ruby claim, Wheth* er this rock is related to the Rossland monzonites and theiefore newer than the gray granite, or whether only fades of the gray granite and its dykes, has yet to he determined. A pinkish acid granite newer lhan the gray and belonging to the rock largely exposed nn lhe ^divide between the East Branch and the main North Fork of the Kettle river, occurs on the main North Fork of the Kettle river about, 10 miles above the fork nf the Enst; branch". On the North Fork of the Kettle river there nlso occurs a still newer rriuk.il reddish poi phyritic gran- iie similar in appearance to the Rossland granite. s-a-t- The Winnipeg is again on lhe shipping list. For several weeks no ore was sent to the smellers, but recently shipments have been resumed, and 11 consignment of 05 lons.were forwarded to Grand Korks. Recent development 1,1118 opened up a considerable ore body . nnniiiiiiie, and 1)1-,-r- '-• --" ■- ' he limited by tlie capacity of the hoisting apparatus at lhe mine, it is expected ihat shippingoperaiions will be continued for an indefinite period, The Standard Oil company has acquired the Mound and Copper t ti If properties ou Copper mounlain, in the Siiiiilkiimeen, from Oie Johnson and L. Jacolison of Rosslnnd. The consideration is understood to he $52,000 cash. The Standard Oil people own ihe well known Nickel Plate mine, on which Ihey have spent many thousand dollars in development. The Mound and Copper Clitf adjoin ihe Nnkel Plate and were acquired with a view In extending the oil people's holdings. The claims were located hy Messrs. Jacobson nnd Johnson on a grubstake by W. Yolen Williams, who was in- triimenlal in making lhe deal. It Is reported that there is a deal on for the consolidation of Ihe Dominion Copper conipany and Ihe Snowshoe Golti and ('upper Mines, Limited, whose properties are sil tinted in lhe Phoenix camp. The control in the former company is held by Senator C.ix, Robert Jiilfniy and Mackenzie k Mann, all of Toronto. The properties iu ihe group include the Brooklyn nnd Stemwinder mines. James Breen, the smelter man,mulct took a large amount of development woik last year in return for a controlling interest in (he stuck. It was alsn stipulated that h.' should build a smelter for the Ireat* ment of ores. Afler Ureen lunl expended, it is said, over $1(KI,01HI of his own money, he had a disagicement wiih ihe Toronto capitalists and withdrew, receiving an equivalent in slock bul not the control for the development work he had directed. Tlie group is commonly regarded us one of the must promising in the Boundary and one already on a basis to ship a large tonnage dally. The Snowshoe group is nearly a mile distant, It is on 11 shipping basis and could easily ship 1100 tons daily. Besides the underground workings the ore can be quarried fifth) huge open cuts on Ihe surface. The failure of ihe management hitherto 10 ship except for experimental purposes, is ascribed to the fact that it had been decided to wait until thc mine owned its own smelter. Tho company has a capital of ll&iO.OOO and the control of tv majority nf the shares it held by the British Columbia, Rossland anil Klocnti Syndicate, the vendor of which spent over JSn.lXm In developnienl work.

MIDWAVTONELSON. A copy of the estimates for the ex peiiilitures of the province for the coining year has been received at this office, The revi nne is expected to amount to $2,222,508.85, some of the chief sources of which nre ; Property and income tax, including arrears, $5iJs"i,000; Dominion government, $;i0;V 008.05 ; bind sales antl rentals, $117,1X10; Chinese restriction. $40,000; timber licences and royalties, $80,000 ; timber leases, 8.10,010; nnd from the fisheries, $35,000. A summary will show how largely Ihe province is dependent upon the mining industry for its lev- enue. Some of the detail are : Free miners' certificates, $175,000; mining receipts general, $80,000; mineral tax, $180,000 i royalty on coal. $130,000; making a total of $515,000, whereas the mining districts hear their share of all the other sources of revenue, including lhe $150,000 that is expected from the poll tax. The expenditures are expected to total $2,180,127.31, distributed as follows : Public debt, $403,140 ; civil government, $263,280 ; administration of justice, $125,112 ; legislation, $44,105 : puhlic institutions (maintenance), $128,500 ; charities and hospitals, $74,800; administration of justice (other than salaries), $110,(1(10; education, $412,110 ; transport, $21,200; revenue service, $17,000; miscellaneous, $137,570 ; and puhlic works, $802,200 ; made up of works and buildings, $200,- 150 ; government house, $4,700 ; roads, Btreets, bridges and wharves, $395,350 ; surveys, $12,000; and contingencies, $50,000. Under the heading civil gov- prnni.»pt fjytlu*t."*l tliere are Rriu.ll reductions from the previous :-.... lo the amounts for the premier's and provincial secretary's offices and a small increase in the deportment of mines, one cleric getting an increase in salary und an assistant assayer being added. The treasury department gets a little less and the agriculture brunch a little more, while slight increases occur in the lands and works and the attorney- general's department. There are practically no changes iu the land registry offices with the exception of a bookkeeper lieing added to lhe staff of the Victoria office, Two new offices are provided for, a commissioner to arrange freight rates at $1,800 a year and a fisheries commissioner at $3,000, while a salary of $115 a month is provided for a supervisor for log scalers, also a new office. The steam hoiler inspection will cost the province more than last yenr, the inspector at Nelson having his salary raised to $110 a month and Ihe other inspectors gel. increases of $25 a month each. The bureau of statistics is a new service for Ihe maintenance of which there is an expense of $175 a month. The total I appropriation for public works is $682,*! 200, of which the following are some of ihe details; Government house, Victoria, $65,000; addition tothe hospital for the insane, $18,100 ; fish hatchery ami maintenance,$15,000; reformatory at Vancouver (completion), $18,000, and additional public schools through- out the province, and furniture, $02, 750.

The supplementary estimates tnl.il $111! Mil, made np, one Would of sinus required fm- services Passenger Traln.s Are Now Running Over the New Bridge at Robson. Passenger trains are now running over Ihe new Canadian Pacific bridge at Robson, the now .service being formally inaugurated hi't Monday. The thtough service makes some alterations in the runs of the (rain crews operating on the division, but no changes iu the time card huve been made as yet, and it, is not expected thai a new schedule will be necessary, although tho effect of tl.-e Ihrough service, if any, would be to reduce tlte running lime. Tlie necessity of awaiting the arrival of the bonis from lhe north will probably prevent faster lime being made on the division. The travelling public will appreciate the abolition of the ferry a! Robson,which has heretofore taken up consideralile time and been a source of inconvenience generally. In future'the Boundary trains will not run into Rossland, as has been the case since the completion of the Columbia k Western rond. Instead the Boundary set vice will be operated between Mid,vay anil Nelson, ihe distance between these Iwo points being approximately the same ns between Midway Bnd Rossland. The buffet car service will also be run from here into Nelson. The morning train out of Rossland will in future connect with the Boundary train at Robson and then go thtough to Nelson, while the evening train goes in ditect from Nelson instead of from the Boundary, as hns been the case heretofore. The nnv bridge at Robson is a substantial juncture which has been in course of construction for more than a yenr past, and has cost tbe company between $175,000and $200,000, In ad- ,,.,. .,,,, cms outlay tne cui*i-<a,,j „,... expended a Urge sum in improving its roadbed on the Columbia k Western section with a view to the increased traffic when the through service was commenced. This local improvement work^is still under way on a considerable scale, lt is the intention of the Canadian Pacific, moreover, tu construct a neat station building at the eastern approach of the hridge for the convenience of passengers transferring from trains to boats or vice versa, This structure will probably lie completed liefore the end of the approaching Summer. > * < 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 i s an investment.

Speaking to a Vancouver World reporter recently Mr. Mnherly, one of Ihe engineers in Mr. Dewdney's parly employed by the provincial government to survey through the Hope mountains, lu order to determine if a pass could be found through which a railway could be built, is reporled to bave said : "Notwithstanding 'Dewdney's damn' of the Hope mountain pass, I expect to see a railway buill across that very section of the country in a very short time, "It Is a peculiar thing," he continued, that the Hon. Hon, Mr. Wells should announce down Pnst that there was a pass through the Hope mountains, and ihat a prominent member of Mr. Dewdney's own party should intimate thnt a gn.de could easily bo secured, and Ihen the whole project to be condemned as Impracticable," Mr. Mo borley, while he waa very careful not to foreshadow the report of his chief in any way, gave lhe impression that the patty had been successful in discovering a puss, and that the whole country Ihrough tliere was worthy of development. His portion was on the eastern side, wliere he said existed great beds of coal and along the valleys of the rivers were districts with agricultural possibilities.; Vet Mr, Dewdney says it is not so, "Itis to be noticed that the provincial government despatched upon this mission of puss Hmling a man who years ngo was chosen for the same undertaking hy the 0. P. R. and re ported that no wny through the mountains was available, When tbe line which is now one of the grenl est trans continental ronds, wns building west ward, Mr. Dewdney, I believe, wns in charge of ii party which came south from Kamloops to seek for a cut Ihrough the mountains at Hope, along one of the river valleys. The report handed iu was that tht-re was none. Then the government of British Col ilinliia sent out (his same man on the same errnnd. (!nn it he that they w.shetl just such a report which has heen furnished ? "I have been through tho Hope pass myself," the World's informant said, "and I have nnt the slightest doubt that a railway will he running to the Similkameen from the coast." THE PROVIDENCE.
