The two principal claims are the\n\"Wasa and the Mammoth\". This property was discovered in 189.3. and is in the possession of Wm.'.\nThompson. Wm.Haupt. Erio.'Sundon and Peter.Rosen-\ndale, who are the original locators. About 1300\nfeet from the qroppings,\"which measure 20 feet\nacross\" a tunnel has been run in for a distanoe\nof 80 feet,tapping a vein of ore from 2 to 4 feet'\nin width, assaying 22$ copper,112 ounoes in silver,and % 10. in gold, the ore being Grey Copper,\nRed Oxide of Copper and Galena. The hanging wail\nbeing Porphyritic Slate,and the foot wall Black\nSlate, these claims are easy of aooess,it being\npossible to build:a waggon road at a small expense to within a short distance \"a mile\" of the\nworkings.Good water-power right on the property,\nwith any amount of timber on the surrounding\nmountain side. It will be strange if some enterprising capitalist does not soon take these\nclaims in hand and develope them into producing\nmines,\nTHE NORTH STAR.\nA large amount of ore has been taken out during\nt'fte past winter,it is estimated that there are\n2400 tons at the company landing on the Kootenay\nrWer,ready for shipment,500 tons at McOinty's,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0and nearly 3000 tons on the dump,this is a grand\nshowing for the mine,though it is not;the capaoit;1\nof the output of the mine,for with force enough\n100 tons daily oan be placed on the dump. Last\nweek another strike of wire silver and carbonates\nwis made in af drift separate from where the former\ndiscovery was made, there is a strip in the roof\nof the drift some 15 feet in length covered with\nlead crystals and wire silver,parties who have\naeen them, say that it is a beautiful sight, the\ncrystals hanging from tho roof and sparkling with\nthe wire silver. There is no doubt that the North\nStar is one of the largest Silver-lead properties\non the continent.\nMORE CAPITAL COMING.\nIt is reported that negotiations are pending\nfor the purchase ('BY A STRONG SYNDICATE FROM THE\nUNITED STATES} of all the olaims near the North\nStar ,and not owned by the Mann Co.
