Probably the most important strike in the history of Rossland camp is reported by the manager of the Le Roi No. 2 mine, in the following cable to London directors: In the Josie mine 700 foot level cross- we have cut the vein on the hanging I side. An average assay of the vein erial shows $25 per ton. The width he vein is not yet determined. The 1 has every appearance of being equal he Annie oershoot on the 500 foot :1 in width, 01 e body and values." INDICATES G T ORE B Heretofore the principal ore bodies in the camp have been located on the east side of the enormous dike crossing the Josie ground. To the west considerable work has been done, but little results heretofore have been attained. The strike in the Annie ground indicates that values prevailing on the east continue west of the dike mentioned, therefore the ore bodies are much greater than had been supposed up to the present time. - The newly discovered ore body undoubtedly exists on Le Roi ground, and probably in the Centre Star as well, and the location of such a high grade ore body will tide the camp over the period of low metal values, high freight and treatment charges, until the period of cheap freight and treatment charges renders possible the utilization of the unbounded supply of low grade ores. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR NOTICE. tities are said to be i the nickel-copper ares of the Sudbury district, and more recent finds have been report- *d in Wyoming and Oregon. In Wyoming the platinum was found in a vein carrying values iu gold, silver, and copper, the platinum appearing to increase with the in- brease of the copper contents of the ore. It will be noted that the platinum in this country is found in :ombination with the same minerals as that of the Wyoming platin- side to elect its candidate. As a result the election was one of the hardest fought in the history of the city. <►<; The Government was quite evidently afraid to appeal to the electors on its record, and had recourse to a scheme for a railway to the northern part of Vancouver Island, which would connect by ferry with Bute Inlet, the mainland terminus of the proposed Canadian Northern. The bait thrown the Victoria people was successful in landing Col. Prior in the legislature, but his majority was so narrow that it should awaken the government to the slight hold it has on popular esteem. MIDWAY-VERNON. Likelihood of a Connecting Railroad This Summer. THE CANADIAN NORTHERN I There | every reason to believe The agreement between McKen- that the proposed railway from zie & Mann ai : id the Dunsmuir Government for the building of a railway from Bute Inlet to the Yel- lowhead Pass, is another instance of the people building a railroad for the benefit of a private corporation. The giving of a cash subsidy, to be repaid by a tv o per cent, tax en the gross ear-lings of the railway company, should be a sufficient help without adding 30,000 acres of land per mile in the Westminster, | Lillooet, and Cariboo districts. It is this reckless throwing away of the public domain to all kinds of grafters and exploiters that brings a government into contempt and the people it governs to sorrow- Midway to Vernon will be constructed during the coming summer. A fund of $30,000 has been appropriated for the purpose ofl making the surveys, and it is said that this part of the work is now being done under the direction of | Engineer Coyle. August F. Heinze, the millionaire mine owner of Butte, Mont., has a charter fcr this road which carries a government bonus of | $4000 per mile. This road wil! open up the rich mining and agricultural country of the west fork of | Kettle river, and will greatly shorten the distance by rail between the Boundary country and the coast.
