WRAVICU CUKEK. I.-, .mother promising district, il lies jicro.-s the mountain from Perry creek! " So far as can be learned the conditions are much the same as those obtained on Perry creek. Several excellent claims have been localed, nolably Tin- Prospectors Dream, lien- dore ar.d Old Abe. Considerable development work* has been done on'this aroup. The ore is free milling, and Ihe \'alue from saiih [iles taken in all the openings, i.s SsL'd jier ton. Work on the Elkhorn and Pearl claims owned by .1. W. R. Young, is progressing. A shaft 37i fool has been sunk on the Elk- horn, awl one oi _." feet on the Big Chief under bond for the past eight months, has re-bonded the property to- an English syndicate for AKiri,iKib. So far as can bo learned this is the largest bond 'yet made in the Fort Steele district. This, fact was known io all parties interested, and if v.-as desired to keep the matter quiet until all of the details were perfected, but the premature-publication of an incorrect report in the Cranbrook pnper has caus"d T\\v.

Tt is probable thai the district will witness some' .substantial development during- the coining season. r ' ' THIRD PAYMENT MADE ON THE BTG CHIEF. ' ' A 10-Stamp 'Mill Will Soon .

The,main lodge on the Dupont is an immense quartz dyke from which the walls have eVoded exposing the vein in some places tifty feet high. This dyke is about ;!40 feet wide, and i.s exposed the'entire length of tlie claim. Tlie assay .value, of ore taken from acro-s the lead will average sfi.00 lo the ton.
