At lust there seems to bo a reasonable prospect of walking about on solid earth once more. Since tho beginning of November the ground bus been covered with its mantle of snow, but now the sun is assorting its power and tho snow in rapidly being converted into slush.

They intend returning in about n mouth as the snow lies quite deep on most of the ground thoy want to see, with the exception of the Payne claim, This claim had a long tunnel run through in the pay grouud, and of course, could at any time bo inspected. The owners aro very gonial and accommodating to all visitors wishing to iuspoct tho works. Mr. Kyle or Mr. Murphy can entertain you with fairy tales of mountains aud mines ; or can describe tho workings of either quartz or placers of either British Columbia, Colorado or Australian mines, while you inspect their tunnels and works, This is undoubtedly the best claim ou Granite Creek that has been opened up, and tbo enterprising and persevering meu that have dono tbe work are to be congratulated on their snecess, aud they certainly deserve, and have, tho well wishes of the community for their pluck. Wo have had the pleasure of their acquaintance for som« time, and their word on mining is reliable. Lower Nicola has been visited by La Grippe. Mr. P. H.

Last week a ledge was located nu Judge Cornwall's ranch whieh has shown such a remarkable assay that much excitement has been the result. The locators of the group are J, W. Burr, Jus, Haddook, C.

An assay shows returns of S-J20.80 in gold. Gold can bo seen readily in somo of tbe rock No development has as yet been dono but work will shortly be begun. Should further work and assays show this property to be as rich as is vow supposed it's value will be great. At Highland Valley work is showing very rich copper gold rock, somo to tbe value of &:t00 to the ton being found. Many claims are already staked off In that promising section and thero will bo an influx of prospectors to High- laud Valley iu a very short time. Tho Valley is about 25 miles from x\.shcroft. Up the Thompson river about four miles somo good looking loads have been located. The iron capping is there and tbe rock is gold bearing, Probably 20 or more claims are staked oft' in this section.
