W. ROWLANDS, Editor\nA. E. LUDWIG, Manaoeb\nULLOOET MINING DIVISION\nExtracts from the report\nof W. Fleet Robertson, Provincial Mineralogist, for 1910\nThe Countless mineral elm\nadjoins the property of the\nBen d'Or or Coronation Company, higher up the hillside\naway from the creek, and\nhas suffered from lack of\nwater-power, although unlimited water might have\nbeen brought in by a ditch-\nline from the main creek.\nThe property was reported\nas being owned by William\nManson et al, of Lillooet,\nand has not been worked for\nsome years.\nThe only workings that\ncould be found on the property was an open pit some\n60 feet long by 20 feet deep,\non a quartz vein about four\nfeet wide, as exposed. The\nstrike of this vein, S 65* E.,\nwas different from any other\nvein worked in the camp,\nand the dip was nearly vertical. The quartz from this\nopening was treated in a\ncrude arrastra, and is said to\nhave carried a fair amount\nof gold.\nThe old arrastra was a tub\n9 feet in diameter, in the\ncentre of which was a vertical shaft driven by a horizontal water wheel attatched\nto it by a radial arms; to\nthe outer rim or edge of the\nwater-wheel were affixed\nbuckets into which impinged\na stream of water from a\nnozzle, under a small head.\nThe reason given for the\nnon-working of the property\nwas an insufficiency of water.\nThe Pioneer mine, consisting of one Crown-granted\nmineral claim, is situated\nabout half a mile up the ck.\nfrom the Ben d'Or, and almost at the creek-level At\nthis point the creek valley\nhas become narrower, and\nbeing farther up-stream, the\ncreek level is much higher,\nso that, although the quartz\nveins are about the same\nelevation as those previously\nmentioned, they here outcrop\nonly slightly above water-\nlevel in the creek. The\ncountry-rock here is the same\nas noted in the other claims,\nand the quartz veins are fou\nnd to be very regular, and\nwith a constant strike of\nnearly east and west. Two\ndistinct veins have been opened up, and surface development would seem to indicate others.\nThe development of the\nproperty is not great, but\nthe conditions under which\nit is being worked are peculiar and worthy of special\nnote. It is a \" one - man\nmine,\" being owned and operated entirely by one man,\nF. H. Kinder, who is not a\nminer by trade, but who,\nsingle-handed, has successfully mined and milled enough ore each year to make\na comfortable living.\nThe main No. 1 tunnel was\nstarted some four feet above\nhigh water in the creek, and\nhas been driven in for 100\nfeet as a crosscut tunnel,\ncutting at 70 feet in from\nthe portal No 1 ledge, a\nquartz vein averaging about\n18 inches in width, on which\ndrifting has been done to\nthe west for 30 feet and to\neast for 10 feet. At 100 ft.\nin the tunnel cuts the No 2\nledge, a quartz vein from 24\nto 30 inches wide, and on\nthis a drift has been made\nto the left (west) for 20 feet,\nfrom which a raise is up 16\nfeet; a similar drift has been\nmade to the east for 55 feet.\nThere are other small tunnels and openings on the property, which, while not extensive, prove the quartz\nveins to be more than ordinarily regular and persistent,\nand to carry some good gold\nvalues.\nFor reasons which will be\nunderstood when the methods and conditions of working the property are considered, ore carrying less than\nfrom $20 to $25 could not be\nworked, and, consequently,\nthe workings have had to\nfollow the richer ore-shoots.\nThe owner has apparently\ndone all the development and\nmining single - handed and\nalone; the ore has been mined,\nfilled into sacks, and, when\nnecessary, hoisted by hand\nand carried, either in a wheel\nbarrow or by the owner on\nhis back, to a home-made arrastra\u2014described later\u2014capable of treating from 400 to\n500 lbs of ore a day. If wages can be made, and apparently they are, by such primitive methods and the total\nabsence of capital, it speaks\nwell for the gold-tenue of\nthe quartz mined.\nThe arrastra is 8 feet in\ndiameter inside; the vertical\nshaft supporting the arms is\ndriven by a belt connected to\nthe horizontal shaft of an\nundershot current water-\nwheel placed in the creek.\nThe property has considerable merit, as a small mine,\nthe present output as it is\nbeing run would not exceed\n$600 during the season.\nFrom the Cadwallader ck.\ncamp the creek valley was\nfollowed up for about ten\nmiles over a rough, and little used, trail, following the\ncreek and on an easy gradient, where camp was made\nfor the night, near creek-\nlevel, at an altitude of 4,100\nfeet. The next morning,\nSeptember 11th, the summit\nwas crossed, the ground being covered with snow.\nThe trail out of the Cadwallader creek valley zigzags up a steep, burned-over\nridge, rising in about three\nmiles in a direct line to an\nelevation of 6,800 feet, Tbe\nsummit is devoid of trees or\nscrub, and in summer is\ngrass-clad, providing exce'-\nlent grazing. Several quartz\nledges have been staked on\nthe summit, but the recent\nsnow had covered up all traces of work and the showings could not be found. Proceeding southward from the\nsummit, a decent was gradually made into the valley at\nthe headwaters of McGillvary creek. The upper portion of the valley is on the\nedge of the timber line, and\nconsists of a series of grass-\ncovered basins dotted over\nwith clumps of balsam and\nspruce trees, a most beautiful place in summer, but indicating heavy snowfall in\nwinter wit an open season of\nonly three or four months in\nthe year. The trail down\nthis valley is an old Indian\nhunting trail, not inviting for\nfor travel, and frequently\ntakes to the sidehills and\ntimber to avoid the canyons\nwhich characterize the valley\nthroughout.\nOne day's travel brought\nthe party to the forks of Me\nGillvary creek, about five\nmiles from its mouth and\nfrom Anderson lake. Here\ncamp was made on the evening of Septemper 11th, at\nelevation of 3,900 feet, good\nfeed for horses being found\nwhere forest fires had many\nyears ago removed the timber; this was the only graz-\ning-place seen on the lower\nten miles of the creek.\nN.B.\u2014The pioneer mine\nhas changed hands since the\nwriting of this report, and\nis now being worked on a\n<\nfi\nCANCELLATION OF RESERVE\nNotice is hereby given that tuo\nreserve existing upon Crpwn lands\nin the Lillooet District and in lie\nKamloops Division of Vale District,\nnotice of which was published in tho\nBritish Columbia Gazette, date.I\nMay 5th, 1910, is cancelled in >o fai\nas the same relates to the lands in\nLillooet District surveyed as Lots\nnumbered 1,833, 1,832, 1,831, 1,830,\n1.820, 1,821, 1,822, 1,82:5, 1,81\\\n1,819, 1,809, 1,806, 1,810, 1,811, 1,\n817. 1,816, 1,813, 1,(;55, 1,'5I, 1,\n040., 1,639, 1,638, 1,641, 1.H53, 1,\n662. 1,651. 1,643, 1,642, 1,791, 1,644\n1.645, 1,646, 1,647, 1.648, 1, f4'\\ 1,\n829, 1,829, 1.836, 1,826, 1,824, 1,\n425A, 1.430A. 1,62s 1,631, 1.617,\n1.622, 1 637, 1,636, 1,635, 1,^34 !,\n614. 1,615, and 1.616.\nRORT.
