Although a good pay strealc ex- " ists above arid'below their ground,' the Columbia Hydraulic Company ' prospected much of their ground! , last season and were unsuccessful in trying to locate "pay.'.'

The holders have good faith in their ground aud will continue sinking next season. BIRCH CREEK. The ground on this creek is quite rich but the water supply is quite inadequate and fiom the results of last season"'s operations by a dozen individual miners and two companies -the only practical conclusion is that reservoirs will have 'to be constructed in order to obtain a sufficient supply of water to ensure successful operation. The Atlin Lake Company, Ltd., only sluiced' for about two months, being compelled lo shut down by .shortage of water, but they obtained good results. Cancellor, Pcarse & Co. were put to much expense by damages caused lo flumes, pits, etc., by the spring freshet, but operated until the end of August with inspiring returns obtained.

The-Skagway Alaskan interviewed Dr. Young, M.P.P., when he passed, through, that town recently and reported him as- follows:- "One of the things-to- which Dr. TI. E. Young, member for Atlin, will direct much of his attention this winter' will, be the concessions for hydraulic purposes that have been made in the Atlin district. He will make it a'point to see that the concessions are' developed as the law contemplates they shall or that they give-way, permitting the individual miner to have an opportunity to develop ar.d prospect the ground. . . ���; 'I believe,' says Dr.. Young, 'that the individual miners who came into the Atlin district, proved its-'vvont'h,. developed' it, and'who are today its chief producers-, should, not be restricted iu their opportunities by men' who are holding concessions for speculative purposes.. _\No one desires to injure those hydraulic nicn who are spending their uioney in the development of- th'e .���country. IS very effort should and will be made to protect their interests. What the people of Atliu object to, in which objection I .shall uphold them to the extent 0fr.1v ability,, is-the continuance in ei!':..-;!. of those concessions which retard development. "'The intention of the. British Columbia law is that hydraulic concessions of So acres may be made where ground, has been proven lo be of.too low grade to pay to work without extensive machinery and with great-outlay of money for the purpose of developing water supply, power, etc. In otlier words the concession is supposed to follow the abandonment of ground by the individual miner. In the Atlin district in the beginning this was overlooked. There had been no. great placer discoveries between the Caii- boo and the Klondike. Dining the long years br:i.\veeii Ibv uvcliii'.- of individual; placer mining :snd its-revival by reason of the Klondike aud A tlm discoveries,.the hydraulic men 'were the principal prudiu'vis of placer gold', and. their interests wore more iu the mind of administrators than were those of the individual' miner., whose rights were held in .abeyance:.' ' ( , " 'Under tlie-circumstances- it was very natural, thai promoters- should induce those in- authority to- permit them to encroach upon the rights of the individual miners-before tlie latter understood them, well enough to assert themselves and. call a. halt Many concessions were granted in tlie Allin district,, like- which, wp the case in the Klondike; wherein the intent of the law was-not re,- gjirded... " tOur |.l.,n is now to return to he l.iw. Those who have conccs- 1 ions will he .required to utilize them ���sS the law i-rovides or have them ; :uici lied. The strict letter- of the law ^ ill be observed in applications .or concessions in the future. . ' " 'Headway has been made already in this respect. Within the last year 130 couccsmous have been cancelled. More will follow'/ "Dr. Young will also seek to have the size of placer claims enlarged from 250 feet square as at present, to 300 by 1,000 fex't in size. Mo says this is iu accordance with ideas of iiglu prevailing'in Ihe Atlin dis- Liici among those who have devoted the last half dozen years to- placer mining, .and he believes i they arc the men best qualified to judge 011 all placer mining mailers."

A force of six. men were employed during tlie season on a lay 011 the Ti'Ioil-Union lease and much gravel ' was sluiced, netting good profits. " Drifting operations arc being carried on at present oir -Boulder by some twenty men. RUBY CREEK. Some ten miners carried on development work on Ruby creek during last season. - The Ruby Creek Mining Partnership employed some half dozen men in exploratory work on their ground and, besides proving beyond a doubt .that theii holdings are exceedingly, valuable, had ' the satisfaction, by the comparatively small yardage ot gravel washed-, in ' netting a small profit over expense while carrying 611 .purely prospecting work. They have demonstrated a pay streak of over 170 feet" wide with the eastern rim as yet u 11 found. The . property of the partnership is about the most premising hydraulic proposition in ���the Atlin camp.- r-- A lone miner is keeping things . on Ruby warm over winter, and in the spring she will talk for herself. WRIGHT CREEK. Over a dozen men prospected on Wright creek during tlie season and quite a few of them were rewarded with good returns. The Lincolnshire and Surrey hy- diaulic syndicate expended some $2,200 in preparatory work on their ground and it is expected that next summer they will open up tne pay streak in their ground. OTTER CREEK. Five or six men prospected different leases near tlie mouth of Otter creek last season with fair results. A. Canuichael is at present . on the creek developing on a group of leases for next season's operations. o'donnei.i, river. Although O. B. Perry did not take up the bond which he had on a number of leases 011 this river last season it is conrklentally believed that there is a large quantity of placer ground there which ^yill eventually be opened up and made to pay big profits. A number of men are at present ��� doing- -prospecting work on three O'Doiuiell river leases and a like number of leases on. Bull creek and good prospects have been found. VOLCANIC CREEK. V Last season, a number, of individ-. ual miners with, holdings on this creek.combined.their effort?y in a.ii. endeavor'' to sink to 'bedrock arid had reached a depth of 45 feet when, stopped by water. They had how; ever got into dirt which gave'big returns to the pan and as . a., result a'rratigerrie'n'tS'have-already been' . made /lor y installing.: ,'a .:; powerfid At -��he general pumping plant in the spring, when llic men will continue their quest with increased energy. So great is the faith or.the men in the possibilities of. this creek lhat about a 16 mile wagon road has been constructed to their workings lo facilitate the getting in of supplies and heavy machinery. Taking into account the shortage of water experienced and the somewhat smaller number of men cm- ployed, the placer mining operations of the past season in the Atlin district were , on' the whole very-successful and -we- are ' confident; by what we know' that we do not greatly overshoot the mark when we .itate that gold to value of $500,000 was.produced in this camp in 1905. We, understand that steps are beT ing takerr to conserve water, at several different important points in the district by the construction of huge .reservoirs so as.to ensure a sufficient supply for all operators throughout coming years, present time "mining in throughout the district is 111 an exceptionally healthy condition and the indications are that the season of 1906 will greatly surpass .last season both from the standpoint of value of gold produced and numbers of- men employed. ' ��� MINER Alt .CLAIMS... Assessment work...was .done during the past .year'on-.a'large number of mineral claims" (over 150) iu different parts .of the district, besides which crown grants were obtained on many claims. --Upwards ot" fifty new locations were recorded during the season and to a casual observer . it is .evident that from a quartz mining standpoint the Atlin district is as yet in the infancy of a great future. The development-work on the quartz mines on the Yukon side of the line at Windy Arm .last year caused much renewed interest and many parties took the field in that part of our district bordering on Windy Arm in the latter part of the season and several promising claims were located. It is also said that work of a permanent nature with a view of making shipping mines will ���be inaugurated ou qrrite a few well developed claims during the coming season.' -V-rrOT-tCH IS MERKIJY Given tlint an np- -LvN plication will ho inmlc to tho Legislative AsSBinliiy of tlio Provinco of/Uritish Columbia at its next session for an" Act to incorporate a Company to bnilc.1 u line of Railway from, the.
