NEW STRIKE
AT ALICE ARM
���
A new discovery and which
caused some talk in the camp,
was recently made on a property within three or four miles
of the Alice Arm hotel, just
north of the Spaniard claims.
The owners are Neil Forbes and
Fred Martinson, and assay returns gave more than 700 ounces
silver to the ton.
Another strike was made on
the Henry Wulf property, at
Fourteen Mile point, on the railway. This is a 20-foot vein
which runs $37. Mr. Wulf has
gone below to finance the property.
J dm West has bonded the old
Santiago group of two claims
on the north fork of the Kitsault liver.
Capt. McLennan, of the McLennan Silver Mines, owning
the Royal group of seven claims,
stinted his gang to work or the
Royal 5 fraction and has stripped the Little Joe vein right
across the claim. The ledge is
30 feet wide and in the same
formation as the Dolly Varden.

inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,605,907; for
