An exchange says:—The recent run
of some 500 tuns of Sleinwiuder ore at
the Smuggler mil. iii Fairview, gave
an average result of $5.1(1 per tou. As
it is claimed this quartz c.-iu he mined
and milled lor less than $2.00 per ton,
and as there are thousands of tons in
sight it will be readily seen that the
proposition is a remarkably promising
one.
The instruct inns wived recently

as a disappointment In ihuse interested iu tint camp who had hoped that
development work on this valuable

uusly. Since upend ions were resumed
a couple of months auo substantial and
cuininodiinis mine buddings have been
erected, a machinery site levelled and
Unused and a lot nf mine limbers and

much done in readiness for extensive

and lhat during Ihe ensuing year the

The Mother Lode.
Good progress is heiiiK made with
the upraise frnm the M foot level of
the new workings of the Mother Lode
mine, in Deadwood eamp, to connect
with the winze frnm the nld workings
above. This upraise is nil iu nre of
good value. When it is completed
there will be about 280 feet vertical of
stoping ground opened up hei ween the
new 200-foot level and the old crosscut
tunnel, As the oi e outcrops some 2H.
feet above the old timuel there should
ho more than 51)0 feet of hacks to yield
ore, This does not by any means include all the ore available for the
main shaft is in ore all the way down
to if depth of 120 feet below the drift
at the tfXI-fooi level.
The mils are already laid on the
branch railway line to within a mile of
thn mine. As soon after the tracklayers reach the mine us tbe ral'way
company will accept ore for shipment
about 100 tons of Mother Lode ore will
he shipped to a smelter, probably to
Trail, for a hulk lest. A good margin
of profit will.it is anticipated. Im shown
hy this test, the sjvtematic plan of
assaying followed In connection with
this mine giving a good idea of the

It is very generally admitted that
Midway is the best natural site for a
town in the Boundary district. It was
formerly known as Eholt's, after the
original pre-emptnr of the land. It
was purchased from Mr. L. Kholt in
1801! by Capt. It. C. Adams, of Montreal,  P.  Q., and several associates,
The original townsite was platted in
18!M by Messrs. Kirk k Ritchie, provincial land surveyors, now of Rossland. Thetown was named Hm nda-y
Ciiy, Imt as another place had u.read :
been similarly mimed a new name
had 'ii In* found for tbis town Ivfore
registration could he secured, Oapt,
Ailnm- eventually decided upon tin-
name of Midway for the reason Ihal
ibe town is situate about, midway in
British Ooiumbia lietween the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The
Hint Townsite Agent was the lale Mr.
II. P. Palmerston and the Hrst sale of
lots was made in 1%I3 to Mr. John
Douglas, who still resides in the town.
A Picturesque Townsite.
Midway certainly  is a most picturesque and he ill! if ul site  for  a  lown.
