ASSAY OFFICE Gold Dust Assayed, Purchased or Taken on Consignment. Quartz Assaying at Reasonable Rates. [n our issue of Sept. 21st last a few extracts were made from the Mining & Knginkhkinc; Jouk- nal d" New York, from the first of a series of articles . by W. M. Brewer, M. 1C, on his observations upon this district. Iii'the last issue receiver!, Oct 19th, the second article appears, which deals, in detail, with the different creeks and properties which' he visited. The article is too long for us to quote in full but a i~ew extracts may prove interesting reading, In stating his opinion a.s to the ''auriferous zone," Mr. Brewer says: "According, to. the geological map prepared" by J.'C. Gwillim, B. Sc., of the .Dominion Geological Survey, there, is quite a,n extensive area .of qjiartziles and slates, designated a.s 'gold-bearing rocks,' east of Uiejiouiidaries of.the limited area of'-uuagnesiau rocks. Wlietlier or hot the creeks which flow through the territory .covered' by the quartz- 'zites and slates have been prospected thoroughly,or whether the auri- ferious area is confined to that laid down by Gwillim, the writer could not ascertain on reliable- authority. One fact, however, was observed by the writer during his examination of Spruce creek, that Blue Canyon, 13 miles above the 'mouth ofthe creek, where good pay in placer gold occurs, is beyond the boundaries of tlie magnesian rocks, the country rock being a dark blue or black graphite schist-or slate. For this reason, alone, the writer is of the opinion that a most thorough exploitation of tlie territory beyond the present known gold-bearing creeks is warranted. The geology of Blue Canyon shows a decided change from that on Pine and Boulder creeks. Instead of magnesian rocks and diabase dykes, the Canyon has been cut through graphitic schists of a dark blue and black colour. The bedrock iu the Canyon is quite porous, and, in mining, it is dug up for some depth, as examination showed that much gold was held in the cleavage planes. ��� , ��� .��� Innumerable lenses and veinlels of quartz also occur,.conformable to the planes of schisfosity. These lenses of quartz are.of greater thickness below the -canyon;;, at one point about 2cbo feet below, .a wide ledge of sugary quartz ..occurs from which, on the .surface, good pay has been taken by the nlacerlminers.. Several mineral claims have'been staked about one and a half miles above the canyon, where quartz ledges also occur. From the rusty, appearance of the slate or schist,' and the occurrence of so many quartz stringers and lenses, as well as the fact that so much gold is found in tlie cleavage planes of the bedrock deeper than placer gold would ordinarily penetrate-, it might be inferred that apoiliou at least of the gold mined from Spruce is clue to local deposition, and that if thoroughly exploited extensive bodies of the s'.aie or schist may be found to be auriferous, which possibly will carry sufficient values to pay lor working as lode mines on an extensive scale. v Fuel ought lo b2 obtained at a low rate from the White Horse coal fields. "The line ol strike of this schist is N. 200 \Y\; tlie dip is almost vertical. This schist is cut by quartzose dikes, three of which are very prominent, lying nearly parallel to each other, about 600 feet apart. In one of these lenses or large kidneys of quartz occur, together with some mica. .From Llu-r general appearance of thete dike- they might be classified as altered granite. ,. " "The writer could obtain no de- ' finite information as to the extent of the schistose.-.-.out*try rock, of the Blue Canyon district; appaienlly it extends for 'some distance down Spruce creek, but no natural exposures of the geology could be examined, except at Blue Canyon, nearer than distant mountains.

Dr. Seharschmiclt stated Pnr-behalf of the railroad thai he was glad to bs able to say that ' .passengers coming or going could have free transportation in the com- - pany.'s canoes .'���' over the .diflereut portages. He further stated that the trail /between Log Cabin and Otter lake had been temporarily flagged, and that, from latest- reports the trail was ir. excellent condition. We have been informed that one or two capitalists have expressed a desire to visit the district before the freeze-up, but refrain from risking their lives on a trail which is supposed, on the outside, to be beset with every danger which the imagination can paint. It is a pleasure to learn that these dangers are iu the imagination' only, and that facilities for gelling in or out are still accompanied' by no greater hardships or inconveniences than when the boats are running. Oi;u congratulations are extended to Judge Thain, the new incumbent of the Bench. Mr. Thain has been appointed Stipendiary Magistrate for this district, to take the place of Mr. Woods, S. M,, while on leave of absence. The appointment ol Mr. Thain lo this responsible position is received with general satisfaction, and if conscientious attention to his duties is any criterion, we will have an exemplary magistrate in Mr. Thain. bn/the.'StreeLs, which,/in tlie inter- es i,of Jlhe,': coin muiiity;:.calls .Tor .ex- plaiialioiLtrpnr'bur-fl'ostuiaster/the Department brZ the Canadian .Deye- lopmeiitCc).-'���the ni'ail'contractors.: ���VI.-;:. respectfull y.;'i ;beg, /,--: I here fore, that/ypuv 'will /be--kind:enoLigh.lo publish;/tliis:-letter/in the:-'.c'oljiiiin's of your valuable" pa::er^v//i:'.yy '- .������'���'' //Up tbvlhepresent'dale three mails have."arrived in Alliii,:.which, -I ain given vto/unders'and, aggregated :in'; weight "^considerably v. under./: .300, pounds,vaudvitvliasbeeii stated that over-;4poyp6iinds;/pf':inailAveredelt ^ttDog'/Cabiir/by-iUhe/mail^carriers: arriving pn .Tuesday .alternopii/last!; The mail left, oyer /is said by tlie carriers;" lo /have/been papers, 'aii:d' parcels, only, or matter other���tliiaiv: Fir.vl Cla-s maib/v / v /,.,.,' v t. have no means of deliniteiy as- certaining,,the- nature of the winter iuail 'coiilract between tlie Postal Dspartuieut and the C. -D..
