THF SIMILKAMEEN MINES Local Mining News of the Week- Several Rich Strikes Made. It is reported that the ledge has been struck on the Nickle Plate tunnel on 20 Mile creek. The high grade ore in the ledge assays $600 in gold. Bonniveir, Lang and Powells have made a rich strike in the Roche river district. Specimens from the ledge assayed 19 per cent, copper. Work has started on the Royalty group on Saturday creek. Supplies, have been packed in and early in the week the men started deepening the shaft on the Royalty. The Keremeos Syndicate are getting some rich ore from the Surprise claim"; Work continues steadily on the Bulli tunnel, the management expecting to" strike the ledge about the end of the month. Jack Budd has struck it rich on the Lone Star near Aspen Grove. He has started work on the claim and found solid copper ore right at the grass roots. The ore is similar in character and val: that of the famous Big Sue claim ii same district. The 40 foot open cut on the Lost Horse ledge is improving with depth. President Stevenson visited the mine this week and is well pleased with the prospects. It is just possible that several California capitalists will interest themselves in the property. The ore dump at the Sunset is improving in appearance daily. The ore from the crosscut is the richest yet found in any of the workings. Supt. Lougheed expects a new ore bucket and a fan in shortly. The only other important article he requires is a smelter. Mr. R. Russell of Fairview returned from London, Eng. on Monday night. He has been successful in making arrangements for the re-organization of his old companies, whereby sufficient capital will be added to ensure the working of the mines. Mr. Russell has worked hard in the interests of the company, and it is very gratifying to him to have been instrumental in raising the amount needed for future development. 1 E. Wheeler is working the Gladstone claim oq. Friday creek. It is one of the pioneer locations in the district, being discovered about 16 years ago. The work now being done has shown up the richest ore yet found on the property. The ore body is five feet wide between well defined walls of granite and diorite, the ledge being stripped for 40 feet has been found running true and strong, average assay values giving 15 per cent, copper and a few dollars in gold to the ton.

London, June 12—General Bnller has seized Almonds Nek, a strategic position, sustaining a loss of 100 men. Six hundred men of the Derbyshire regiment were trapped by the Boers and either killed or wounded. Lieut. Blafichard, of_Yictorifli B P , an officer in the Canadian contingent, has been wounded. Gen. Buller is in Boer territory. Dispatches of correspondence with him, filed yesterday at Sunset, describe the corps as camping at Gansoloi, close to the point where the frontiers of the Free State, the Transvaal and Natal meet. "British marched eight miles yesterday," says a Reuter correspondent, "before encountering any opposition. The Boers, who had one gun, withdrew under heavy ordnance fire to a ridge just ahead of the camp." This long range running skirmish will doubtless be renewed this morning. Gen. Buller is expected to make rapid progress now and to throw the weight of 20,000 men into Lord Roberts' Transvaal combinations. Late Telegram—Gen'l Buller has seized Laing's Nek. The position was irried at the point of the bayonet by a brilliant charge. The British loss is estimated at 100. despatch from Lorenzo Marques says that 15,000 Boers are reported retir- Middleburg and that about 20,000 steadfast Boers are still fighting.

I A Baker City dispatch says: "One of }j3l the most valuable discoveries that has »8 been made in this country for years is MM reported from the Greenhorn mining dis- trict. The discovery was made in an old jBg placer mine that was thought to be work- fljp ed out, but which was very rich in the Jj|e early days. The ground had been wash- ,''■_■ ed to a clay bed many years ago. This *Sg was supposed to be bedrock. While dig- JJR ging out the roots of a petrified tree, a uj prospector recently discovered a bed of JE gravel lying lying beneath the clay. On ^. prospecting the gravel, it was found to ., contain large quantities of gold. A nug- H get weighing $284 was taken out two ' days ago, and several smaller ones, 9H weighing from $4 to $50, have been found.

If they have been sincere in their promises they can use sufficient pressure on any government formed to make early construction of this important public work an assured fact. The immense benefits which the entire district and the mining community of the province will derive from the connection of the southern portion of British Columbia by a through trunk road makes it imperative that no time be lost in beginning work. The road can be easily completed before snow flies if the government will let contracts for different portions of the work and arrange for it being done Mr. Denis Murphy M. P.
