"The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919."@en . ""@en .

The two districts sh'owing\nthe largest production are Sherebrooke\nand Stormot, in the eastern part of the\nprovince, the former showing a production of nearly $3,000,000 and the latter\noyer $1,500,000 in gold, and it is in these\ndistricts that the largest development is\nbeing made to-day. flere are found\nlarge saddle veins overlying each other\nwith considerable regularity, but only\nopen at ithis time in comparatively\nshallow depths, 300 to -100 feet. /\nThe Legislature last winter passed a\nlaw authorizing the Governor-in-Coun-\ncil, in connection with the mining department, to assist iii defraying the expense of sinking three shafts in the province, paying one half of the cost from\n500 to 1,000 feet No better selection\ncould have been made than leaving the\nmatter largely in the hands of Mr E.lt.\nFaribault, B.Sc , of the Dominion Geographical Survey^ for he has thoroughly\nexamined these gold deposits, and was\nthe first to map out these anticlinal folds\nfor saddle veins. His familiarity with\nthem, if his ideas are carried out, will\nlead to the rapid development of the\nmines of the province, and open up a\nlarge field for the use of mining capital\nwhere it carl be made very productive.\nThe two most prominent mines ofthe\nprovince showing fissure veins are those\nat North Brookfield, where the Brook-\nfield Gold MiningCompahv have worked\na fissure 1,758 feet on the Incline and to\na vertical depth of 975 feet. The other\nis that of the Baltimore Nova Scotia\nMining Company, .where a fissure haa\nbeen worked to a depth of 700 feet, and\nlarge amounts of ore have been developed at the different levels readvfor\nstoping\nIn the Stormot district the largest\nproducer has been the Richardson mine,\nwhich has had a regular production everv\nmonth for ten years up to March, 1903.\nAt that time the mine waB shut down to\nmake largo improvements, which are\nnow well under way. Over $500,000has\nbeen taken from this mine, working the\nfold on the incline 797 feet, but vertically\nonly 321 feet. A large vertical shaft fs\nnow being put down'on this prooertv 6\nfeet by 18 feet, with three compartments,\nand all arrangements are being made to\nsink 2,000 feet: While this is being done\na new mill is nearly completed, with 60\nstamps of the best modern construction,\nand mine and mill will have a capacity\nof 200 tons of ore per day. The present\nmanagement made a thorough testjof\nthe pioperty before taking it over, milling over 3,000 tons of ore from all parts\nof the mine, and got over $3 per ton in\nCERTIFICATE OF IMPROVEMENTS\nISIS Mineral Claim.\nDivision of West\n'here located: Near\nthe Snap mineral\nSituate in the Slocan Minin\nKootenay District. 1\nBear Lake, adjoining\nclaim. 1\nTAKE NOTICE, That I, Wm.
