The nickel deposits'on Wild  Horse ci'eek.are again attracting  the attention of eastern parties".  The placer mines ��� on Perry  creek are richer and more ox-  ���   'tensive than many supposed.  Messrs. ' Voss and Myers are  pushing work on the Kootenay  ' King mine situated on Victoria  Gulch.     ���'"  A number of prospectors left  Steele on Monday, they will  prospect for iron in the vicinity  of Dibble creek. ���  The point of supply for the  , new'iron mines at Bull river is  Fort Steele.  r  The construction of a smelter  at Marysvillo is looked , forward  to with much interest by the  owners of the North Star and  Sullivan mines.  Pure iron does not, possess nor  will it mretain magnetic properties.  Coke used for smelting ores  must have sufficient structure to  hold up tho iron ore in tho furnace till the latter is reduced  and the iron melted.  One of tho marked features of  the mineral resources of the Fort  Steele district is the discovery  of largo hods of iron ore in the  vicinity of Bull river.  The main range of the Rocky  Mountains east of Fort Steele  promises to be one of the best  mining sections of South East  Kootenay.  The richness of .the placer  diggings on Wild Horse and  Perry creek has been proved.  S. W. Gebo has a"force of ten  men working on the Bull river  iron mines. ,  Examination of the topography  of the country between Elko and  Sheep creek has demonstrated  that' it is a. natural route for a  railway. The showings at the  .���mines,along the route is phenomenal.  The center of the mining industry of South East. Kootenay  is the town of Fort Steele.. Min  ing deals continue to be made,  money changes hands, instruments are signed and   recorded,  Claims Recorded In the  Steelo District.  ' '*.'.','  During the past,  month-large  beds- of iron ore have been discovered in the Fort Steele district. . At Bull river '."there is  great masses of red hematite  -lying, exposed on the side of tho  mountain.' Three ��� ledges, have  been uncovered, one of which  has a''width of 50 feet, "showing  a, depth of 300 feet by moans of  an open cut extending for that  distance up and down the mountain side. Tho'oro is said "to bo  a'first .class bossemer ore. carrying about sixty-three^ per cent,  metallic iron. This large body  of. iron has been traced from the  Bull river-side of the mountain  over tho summit,down.into,' Iron  creek, up Munroe mountain  some 4,000. Fourteen' claims  have, been locatod-'in almost a  straight line.' and surface''incli-  catipns'Show that,the big load,'  as far as know, to be 21,000 feet.

On Grundy creek a small eight'  foot ledge has been located.  In the vicinity of Moyie more  iron has been found.   , �� .  If \vc include Iho big iron  deposits at Kitchener in tho list.  we find that "-0 claims have boon,  located and recorded, on deposits  of iron in the' Kootenay district.  With these largo deposits of  iron developed, adequate means  of transportation/afforded, with  equally large deposits of coal,  copper, lead, gold and silver the  future of tho Fort Steele district.  is assured.  i. 1   OP    MURDER.  crier   rapped   for  GCILTY  When . the  order and tho jury answered  "present" as each name was  called.

The wonderful riches of Wild  Horse for a number of years  attracted the attention of the  old time placer miners, so that  they could not see the ��� immense  quartz mineral resources still to  bo developed in the Fort Steele  district. ' In later years galena  was struck on Victoria Gulch, a  tributary of Wild Horse creek.  Since then a new era has dawned  mines have boon discovered and  developed to-a shipping point, a  number paying yearly dividends.  In every camp in the district  new life and activity is seeiv, and  with the near approach of adequate .railway transportation,  tho development of the mineial  resources ot the Fort Steele district has begun in earnest". The  discovery of immense beds of  iron ore, the large output of the  silver-load mines, increased yield  in the placer mines, large bodies  of copper, high grade free-milling gold quartz, all will find a  market, for tho north and south  railway is now iu sight, and we  are assured that tho first section  will bo constructed next spring.  All over the district new towns  are springing up, and we freely  predict that the coming year will  show a large increase in 'wealth  and population.
