MOST' GRATIFYING RESULTS PROM UNITED ENERGY. The ��� Fine Creek Tunnel Syndicate Completes the First Part of its Contrast with the Leaseholdersr--A Soon for the Atlin District as a Hydraulic Camp. .. , . . ��� After twenty-four dayscontiuuou-" work, three- shifts daily, bedrock has been struck on the " Race Horse''' property, in the Miaft sunk on the "Lillian'.' cl.'iim. by the Pine Tunnel Syndicate and the prospects found in last winter's shaft on the same ground have been fully viified. This nro\es co-.clusively lhat the pay chain cl�� of i ine follow ihe vaile'y from end to 'cud, and have a unifomi value. Tlie g. Id taken from bedrock was \ery coarse and uuggcty aud strongly resembles that of -the Willow creek run, live miles up the valley. The'appearance ol" tlie pay gravel is also very similar, and bedrock is the characteristic serpentine formation . observed lo underlie Willow creek ,n d vici'.'ily. Bedrock was struck at a depth of forty-four feet, and although the gravel taken from the shaft has not yet been sluiced out, it would appear from tlie panuings made Uiat one of the later runs of liie cieek lias also followed the same channel, having for its bedrock a cemented, mixed b.idy of clay aud ��Ta-.c!, uhich immediately overlies the silty overburden of I lie bedrock lead. Thc camp is to be congratulated on the ei.ergetic y>"ay in which our first local enterprise took hold of prospect work,, and the greatest difficulty encountered in handling the steady flow of water' in ill is {-/articular shaft, which in ihe absence of a steam pump, made siukirg a slow and laborious m-il'tcr. ft is impossible as yet to estimate the -.values contained in either of these runs," but the prospect taken fiotn- bedrock tends to increase the e-ilimate made last winter in the shaft then flunk when the pay streak tliere struck was est i ma led to-run from ��[5 to SiS per cubic yard. It 'is now doubted whether last year's shaft really stiuck bedrock on the channel at its depth .of thirty feet. The present shaft is not i:k "e than ten or fifteen feet farther to the north yet goes down at least twelve feet deeper, allowing for the difference in surface level. From the data kept during last year's sinking many are of the opinion that the prospect then .bund was taken from .tlie false bedrock of the upper 11111, which may have rested on the rim or on a large boulder obstructing.. the channel. Fiom a cross-section furnished' us by JSIr. MolTatt, the: following strata appear to have been cut through in thc new shaft before and gravels, 9 feet; wash gravel, carrying" pay, 5 feet: Uustratificd sills, and gin\Tls, carrying boulders (bjuld'-r clay), 5 feet; Silt deposit, distinctly laminated, 8 feel; wash gravel, containing an abundance o! quartz and carrying coarse gold, "miggety" on bedrock, 6 feel; bedrock, a serpentinized rock, heavily mineralized with iron pyrites. As the contract, made between the Leaseholders' trustee, Mr. J. H. Brownlee, and the Syndicate, expires April 1st, and there still ��� remain's oyer Si000 of work to be done in order to complete" the Syndicate's contract' and give title to its contingent interest in the property,.- some fear was expressed that the work' yet remaining (drifting on bedrock) could not be completed within the next twenty days, ,owing ���'to the constant flow of water. As Mr."Br6wnlee did <:ot desire to expose the .Syndicate lo a possible loss of its interest through defaulting on the contract he baud homely offered to assume all further - respon-. sibilily "on its part, and himself install a steam pump with" a capacity sufficient - to keep bedrock drained while fuither prospecting progressed. This he assumed provided -the Syndicate placed at his disposal the-sum of $'900 with which to thus complete their contract with his.'principals. It speaks vol tunes for the. Vitality ol the camp that this sum s'lioiild have bsesi subscribed almost at the instant at the meeting of the-Syi'dir-ate, Tue.Kkn evening, at which Mr. f3iownlee'.--" senerous offer w-��s made. Iu addition to this concession on the part of the Leaseholders theii trustee further consented to finance the $'-'300'due to him under the contract in ord.'r to clear the charges on the property. Thus our local enterprise has gol down to bedrock on the Leaseholders' properly without' having to get down to bedrock in their .treasurer's strong-box. The benefit to the camp of the successful issue Of this happy venture cannot be over estimated. It is in a way a second Discovery on Bin- creek and should stimulate furt'iei ventures of a like nature in othe, portions of the valley, along the course of the old glacial stream With the indications recently uncovered on the Stevendyke propcrU aud now, again, on the Race Horse group, this course should not be difficult of definite determination. .Mr.' Brpwnlee's unwavering faith in the lower reaches of Pine valley this proposition. Over $f.ouo iu j Ix'.drock was reached: .Surface drift cash and labor was expended in the 'material, ti feet; Stratified silts has thus been proved 1101 in any way misplaced. Although k::own iu great part Ut many of our readers, the history of this particular prospect' may be retold with, profit as'well as with the interest that always attaches itself lo success. When Mr. Brownlee first acquired the Lillian property��� it was iu the eaily days of the camp, --it was,, an isolated lease claim with nothing yet developed in,its vicinity, that could lead the. most optimistic to ascribe '.,,-to it any particular value, its. distance being so great from the main scene of activity, Discovery basin. \'et, with , his' usual determination to force the issue with Our Lady,, Fortune, he very quietly and methodically started the .still hunt for the nuggets found on Tuesday last. , .,; In the winter of last year as.soon as sinking operations could be commenced with some certainty of controlling \ possible water, Messrs. Cross and Macintosh, the latter one of, the best practical miners in the district, joined him in sinking the preliminary prospect to 'which reference has already been .made. Mr. Macintosh reported the discovery of a lead running through the properly about 1200 .feet-north of-the present--creek, which at this point and for "mil=s above, had proved barren. This discovery created no little excitement at the time, but Mr. Brownlee's abse* ce.from the camp for some month's thereafter, postponed immediate.development. The shaft, not having been timbered, caved in immediately tlie spring opened and upon his return fur*her prospecting was deferred till this winter.- ; ; -In November last the Pine-Tunnel Syndicate was crganized for the purpose of running a 1200-foot tunnel from the creek to the vicinity of the . dismantled shaft, wi.h the idea of draining the channel-.supposed to have been found. - This tunnel was not run in very far. .before it became evident that it .would not hit bedrock in the'distance expected. Several shafts" were then sunk on the proposed line of th- tunnel with the idea of verifying the depth to bedrock, but in each case water was encountered which could not be" handled w'illi the appliances within the' immediate reach of the miners.- Finally a new shaft was started wifh the bold determii.- atiou to get'to "bedrock or bu'st."

It is with genuine satisfaction we learn that' the Provincial Legislature at its present session is very seriously and carefully considering amendments.to 'the Placer Act, one of the most iniporl-uit of which iv the increasing", tlie size of a placer claim- to'250 feet. It is current rumour that -the proposed amendments .have already become, law, but this rumour we h*i\e not been able to verify up to the moment of going to pi ess. Regarding proposed amendments generally, we learn that it is the intention to do away, so far as may be possible, with the conflict between themining law of this Province and that of the No* th west Territories which lias, occasioied so much difficulty, needless ��� litigation and loss to miners; especially in this district. The Territorial placer claim is 250 feet-square, and many of the 'cou- .ditions attached are similar-to those provided for' in the amendments now before the Legislatuie. That the* Northwest laws on the whole lire the bmoothest and generally fairest in their working of any otr the ''American continent is thc opinion of the majonly of cur miners .conversant with litem, and respect; to this opinion has been " paid to its expression as appears from" references to the question in recent Coast papers. Not only is a'100-foot claim too small to allow of a reasonable return for-a miner's enterprise and labour, but it is too small to be worked advantageously without sluice-boxes ordump trespassing' upon the adjoining property. Iu granting the prospector- o'wiership, rights in the claim he'has located, it is only fair that'the Government should grant him' also a seasonable extent of room on his property for its development in such a manner as to return the best results. Complete details of the proposed amendments the Legislature has now'tinder consideration have not yet been made public; when disclosed; a vast army of prospectors ��� hope to find that insistence upon personal staking is one of the conditions, and an increased penalty provided for all .unjustifiable claim- jumping. Action iu these two details would undoubtedly stimulate ' prospecting immensely aud give great*-satisfaction to placer miners in whatever portion of the Province they may be found. Upon, tiie final passage of the Amended Placer Act on the lines proposed there is very strong reason to expect .th:-.!; the Atlin camp will enjoy a recurrence of the activity which first brought it into existence. -; With a gold-bearing area of ��� over' 1200; square miles-���half as large again as the Dawson camp,��� little more than hah" has as yet been prospected, and- the indications.are that" much valuable' ground .is still open to the enterprising prospector. Tin-: report mmi Ottawa that the i"t)!i-.iti'o:i Co*, eminent will at once --si ibl h an Assay Office in Van- jo..'. ei at which gold will be pur- ���������'. if-cd .jt its full value, in a manner -'iii:..i lo th.it ;���'lowed at Seattle ���bir.iig tlie past three years, will be rceeivul with general satisfaction. For the moment this does away .vitli the iniiuediati- demand for a v1 int. so far as .-the miner is concerned. 'The desired opportunity is at last given- him to convert liis hard earned gold iulo coi:* at the minimum n\' cost, within the Pro- .���incs.', and the dust being purchased o\ as d for the Diminion Government, it v.ill sunn be decided, as a natural'0hi���.tqu-.-nce, that the best way lo tie.it- the gold thus pur- Jus'-d i;-.

In-connection willi the " break " tlie following has ap;eaied iu several eastern papers and may be la km for what it is worth. : ' A,nice condition ol affairs has developed in connection with the cot.- slrucliou cf thc Yukon telegraph line from Quesnelk-, 13. C, to Ti'le- graph Creek and Atlin. , The construction ,\vork was c- nu- -pleled between Ouesuelle ard Hazel- ton, aud then the party was sent out from Hazelton to continue construction north, while simultaneously another parly was started out from Telegraph Creek to work south an1, make connection wilh the H axe I to u paity, ab .ut half wa- between theiv two points Tu their work one p-irty struck aloi-g a certain valley and the other party an entirely different valley. The result is that the actual work of construction has overlapped, and .instead of the wires being connected the ends are 70 miles apart, with two gigantic rsi.ge.s- of mountains intervening, it will be impossible to connect the wires ' 'over these-mountains,' and the result must be the destruction a"d abandonment of a large portion i.f the' line already built and the b .ih'.ing of a new line lo make connection with one end or the other. Just who is responsible for this untoward condition of affaii> has not yet transpired.- The matter \-ill be venrlatcd in Parliament. "Thc white 'cheesy' stibstuine is oolitic limestone deposit, made of minute spherules of CalciunrCar- bmale, not unlike lish-roe in ap- piarance. This is due to the de- pi-sition of calcium carbonate, lrom solution, around tiny grains ol cal- carious sand until thc spherules are built up aiid often cenieuted together iiiti'i a curious rook called oolite, found often on coral islands." An analytical examination wa-. made of this same -deposit by the Geological , Department at Ottawa, and from the annual .summary report for "hoy Ihe fallowing-is taker: " A sample of the white, earthy- looki'.'g material found immediately h-rhiud Atlin townsite in larg- patches when examined iu the Laboratory, was found to consist of ' ��� pure white, more or less firmly com paclcdj yet readily friable mass of hydrouiagnesite.'
