LEADING MEN IN IT Ths Vnloanio, Iron Oap and Wolver ine Claims Cause a Big Stir by an Attempt Being Made to Relocate Them, During the present week Orand Forks has experienced the greatest ex- 'citetnent of its history on account of the reported jumping of tho Volcanic, Wolverine and Iron Oap Claims, the property of tho Olive Gold Mining Co, " The whole affair appears now to have Settled down and vv'ith a few nloro days to heal over the wounded feelings of borne who *wero interested in the deal; the town will again be as peaceful as a happy family and the fow days df un* test will be remembered only as a Cii- bumber nightmare. Tho Olive Gold Mining Co, was ln- borporated August 31, 1890, with S. I*. Bhope, of Chicago, president, John A. Manly, vice president, Harry W. Treat; Chicago. Bectetary, and Edward Blew- felt, Seattle, treasurer. The trustees named, besides tho foregoing, tfore Nels L*ii*sen, of this city, and Thos, McCauley, of Midway. The company was capitalized for $20,- 1)00,000 and the intention was expressed bf proceeding at once with the development of the Volcanic; the most e*tten- kive mineral deposit in the known •A-orld. But all doss not seem to have been harmony within the company; at any rate the development of the great ledge has been delayed. The last sossion of the provincial parliament passed a law to tho effect that incorporated mining companies would bo required to pay an annual license of $100 by the 1st day of July. The Olive Gold Mining Co. failed to comply with the provisions of this law and their plaims therefore became vacant at midnight of June 30 and subject to relocation, or "jumping," as this is frequently! ihough Incorrectly, designated. . Wednesday night Chas. (timings and Dave Woodhead went tip the east ■side of the North Fork to stake the Volcanic aud Iron Cap, and Geo. Cumings and Ed. TltsWorth went up the opposite Bide oi tho river to tako in the ,Wo|ve**ine. Both patties had a wet, poW,night oil it, but the first succeeded in putting up stakes on the Voicanic pud Iron Cap, while the other two failed to find the Wolverino but staked the Moriilng Star claim by mistake. James Seals, who assisted them in their jvork, after daylight staked tho Wolverino for himself, i On tho morning of the 1st, Dr. Aver: ill, who is heavily interested in the .Olive Gold Mining Co., became alarmed as to the safetj of his intel'osts, and, upon the advice of Gold t'ommissioner Lambly that a day'B grace would be allowed to mining incorporations for tho payment of thoir liconso money, drove to Midway and took out a liconso for tbo Olivo Gold Mining Co. This had tho effect of placing the threo claims in a position no they could not be jumped or relocated, so that the stakes tot by tho Cumings brother!*, Wood- h»ad and Titsworth havo no effect whatever on tho-*:laiins, Tlioro havo been a great many rumors piiculntod. regarding Mayor Manly's ••oncection with tho affair. Mr, Manly was tOeli by a Miner reporter this morning and spoke for publication as follows; i "I had good roasori to , believe that certain parlies wore calculating to to- cute thoso claims and wo had stakes set bofore any one olso for our ow"n protect tion. Tho fact is, tho company hasn't a •loot! to tho property yet; it. is all .iu my name, and if any one should jump the claims it wouldn't hold, but to save complications I had the stakes Bet, and simply because I didn't tell every one in the country about the plans, there was somewhat ot a stir made about if. . "And I want to say here that I am emphatically opposed to claim jumping. When a party willfully lets his licens'8 run out- the ground reverts to the gov- 3rnuient and any one can claim it. That is not claim jumping, however. }Vhen I have large interests I intend to protect them, as it would be any man's duty to do. The position of no member of j the Olive Gold Mining Go, is' -llianged. Mr. Larson, I understand, is trying hit) case on the street cornet's and making some wild statements, but he is as well oft as he ever was, and there was no intention, in relocating the claims, that any member of the company should lose a cent." R.A.Brown, the original locator of theso claims, whan seen by a reportff, said; "You can say that I am BatiBfied with the explanations that have been made in regard to this affair. If I had had a gun that morning 1 should certainly hare dono some shootingi but since thoro has been time to consider everything intelligently thero is at least ground to believe that the course pursued might have resulted tor the best for me. It is a hard matter to trust to promises of friendship, though, when there aro billions involved, and suspicions ate natural. There are circumstances In connection With this affair that cannot be made public, bu t which Would largely explain certain features of the case. So far I have fo llowed the advice of my lawyers and I shall depend upon them to straighten Up the tangle. If they fail, then there will be another course to pursue. I am oriiy sorry that I eVor let the Voicanic go out bf my own name.'' Mr. Larscb appears to have been the most Seriously worked Up of any one interested in the affair. To a MIner reporter ho stated that he ovvns a quarter Intorest in the company and that Mr- Manly told him at 11 o'clock on Wednesday that a man had boon sent to Midway with money to pay tho company's license. As to the reason why, instead of pay- ing the license it was decided to relocate the Claims; the public will have to sur*. mise for themselves, as no member of the Olive Gold Mining Co. will tell, but dcaieful review of tbe whole situation would lead one to believe that had the relocations stood and the company's license Hot been taken out, none of the resident stockholders would have suf- feted thereby.

PBESENT CONTRACT WILL COMPLETED THIS WEEK. BE At a Depth of Thirty Feet the Book Mafies a Very Fair Showing* Messers, Porter and Morgan, who are driving a tunnol on the Groy Eagle have for two days boen working in rook that is very much superior to anything they had previously encountered, and if it keeps on improving at the present ratio the completion of tho fifty feet of tunnel will find som,e very fair ore exposed. The slide mattor appears to bave been passed through and the formation is becoming more Eolid and more heavily mineralized. Tho tunnel is now in about 30 feet and next weok will witness the completion of the present contract. it is understood however that an additional contract for 50 feet will be let to Messrs, Porter and Morgan at once, the company being extremely well satis- tied with the character of the work and ihe speed with which it is being performed. The Grey Eagle tunnel is demonstrating that good contractors' wages can be made in tho rock of this country at a much lower price than has heretofore boen figured pn.

Clute of -ftew Wesmin6ter, who is chief inspector of customs of British Columbia, is in the city for the piirpose at superintending the removal of the customs office from Mr. Gilpin's ranch* between here and Cascade, City,, to this plaae. The building on Bridge street fornierly occupied by tie. Butler Met oantile Co, will be tised tor an offico and the removal will be made as soon as the building can bo prepared for occupancy. . Mr. Gilpin; who -has been tho customs official for this district and has performed his duties in such a-manner as to win tho respect and esteem of all with whom he has come in contact,' has beep appointed collector, for, this,port. Mr. Clut6 'Will also place officers at Cascade City, Carson and MIdwny. Mr. Stumdon, ot Ottawa, who is a Special officer of the custom's department, has also been in the city for several days. " ' ' ■ ■ . Looking For Snaps. Dr. Powell, one of the' leading citizens of Victoria was in tbe city early in the Week, leaving With' Mn Cuppage on Thursday for mining points west of here. Mr. Powell it it understood, is in this* section for the purpose of investing in mining properties/ Without exception the prettiest roek coming under the observation of The Miner from this part of the 'cbuntry is that from tho Rattler claim, owned by Chas, Van Ness. The room is live quartz, and sprinkled through it are particles Of gold ranging in size from the invisible to twice as large 'as a pin head. Tho Rattler is located on the reservation about four miles this side of Eufeka damp and was discovered by Mose Burns and Henry Ellis While prospecting for Mr. Van Ness. Two hundred dollars worth of development work has seen dene on the property and tne ledge does not vary from four feet in width between well-defined walls, and the ore is the same value across the vein; Mr. Van Ness stated to a MiicKs representative that assays of thi rock Bhowod 95,000 in free gold, and from the appearance of the ore this assay is pot In tho least to bo doubted. Mr. Van Ne6s undoubtedly has one of the greatest bonanzas of this country and Mose Burnb ahd Henry Ellis, who aro working tho property, will also benefit largely by it as Mr. Van Ness has ex prepsed his intention of deeding them an interost. A ORBAT TRIP. Up The West Fork Of Not'TH Fork. There are now in the city two gentlemen! A. E, Bennett and C. S. Greening; whp have just returned from a most arduous and interesting trip up tho West Fotk of the North Fork of Kettle river. In conversation with a Miner representative Thursday, Mr. Greening said: "We started from Grand Forks and went up the North Forlc to Psbs creek whero there is at present a great deal of activity. A gentleman whose name I have forgotten, haB taken up several millsites and Is making arrangements to put in a iO-ton smelter which is at present situated on Meyers creek. "J. A. Corye'l has run the boundary line for tho government townsite and IB only waiting for further orders before cutting it up into lots, "They haVe some wonderful m-neral showings around Pass creek, some of the croppings being the largest I have ever seon, and if b ne in 500 of tho ledges makes a mine it will be a great mining country. "From t'asB creek we struck across to tho West Fork of North Fork and went up that stream for several miles where I am confident no man ha3 ever boen before; we had literally to hew our way aud for several days averaged about two miles a day. '•We wore out in all about 15 days and it rainod for 13 days of that time. "We expect lo return to the Wost Fork country again soon prepared to make n more extended stay and fully boliove that it will be ono ot the greatest mineral belts ot this section," Nelson Note.". . Tho Star &, Crescent property will be working again in a few days, arrangements having been made^ to continue the tunnel an additional 50 feet.

L, Wiseman. An adjourned meeting of the city council waB bold last Monday afternoon with the inayor and all lhe members of the council present. By-Law ho. D respecting traders licenses was introduced and tho council went into a committee of the whole for tho discussion of tho same, with Alderman Ilepworth in the chair. After a thorough discussion of the bj- law it passed, its first, second aud third reading and the mayors signature was attached to the same. A communication from the Land Registry office at Kamloops was read by the clerk, who was instructed to forward tiie samo to C. A. R. Lambiy, at Osoyoos. A letter from tho Michigan Brass and Iron works relulivo to furnishing the machinery for the propoeed water works, was also read and placed on file; Tho question of the city purchasing a plat of ground for school purposes was next introduoted. Alderman Hepworth, who is one of the school tiustees, stalld that he had interviewed thtj manager of tho townsite company relative to their donating sutficent ground torn school site, and that gentleman in- formed him that be had no authority to donate any property until the matter hud been considered at a regular meeting of the town company, but that Mr. Cumings bad made a proposition to sell tne city six lots for S?3.00 a piece, which was ono half the regular price for the same. After having tho regulation amount of discussion it was moved by Ilepworth and seconded by A1. Manly that the proposition be accepted; and was curried without a dlscenting voice. The grading of tho hiil at the head of Main street was the uo,*t matter for deliberation. As a result of whi.'li Davis 'moved that Joseph L. Wiseman be employed to do tho work, which motion was Boconed by Alderman Johnson and beiny; put to a vote tlio work was ordered done. W. 0. K, Manly introduced a resolution providing tor tbo grading of Riverside avenue und Bridge street. As this proposition met with tho approval of the entire council, it passed, and on the motion of W- C. K. Manly and seconded by Jeff. Davis the city engineer was instructed to establish a grade ou the eaid streets, and prepare a profile of the same. On motiou of Alderman Davis an adjournment was taken until Friday July 2nd, Surveys Being Made into the Boon- Cheek District. The Miner learns from an authentic source that President Corbin of the Nelson and Fort Bheppard, Red Mountain an ways lias despatched a corps of engineers to Sheep creek for the purpose of Biirveyfng a line from Northport to Grand ForkB. It is said that Mr. Corbin proposes to take advantage of the differences that exist between the promoters of the Columbia and Western ant) Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern companies to corral the trade of the lower Boundary district. The route that his engineers have heen ordered to survey from j^nrthport is along Snoop creek to Kettle river, thence past tlio southern end of Christina lake to Grand Forks. It is said that this is the shortest route to the Boundary.—Nelson ^liner. BYLAW no. l. A B.*-law fur regulating the Proceedings of Council and for Defining the Duties of the Officers of the Corporation of the city of Orand Forks. Bon't Ask The Earth, An investor and manager of a development company, not unmindful of his own interests, nevertheless makes somo 'good points in un interview in the Victoria Colonist. He says*. "Parties owning claims which they have either located themselves or purchased for a song, should givo men with capital a fair interest for thoroughly testing lho value of tho claims, rather than demand, as thoy aro doing now, large sums of mon3y to bo paid for what may not prove to be worth a dollar. The unwise policy of holder** in ..this regard is doing much to hinder development in variotis parts of tho province. The day is gone by—and it is very fortunate for the real mining interests ot the province that it has—when men aro willing to pay a large prico for ,a piece of mountain side which has no evidence ot mineral beyond being some, .where near a claim that has good showing and some stakes to mark its boundaries. I bad an experience the other ,du> which shows, however, that all claim holders havo not.yot learned this. In a certain district I had representations as to tho groat value ot a claim a few u ilea frotn ono of tho mining towns, so with some other gentlemen; including au engineer and tho intending vendor of the claim, visited it. lho engineer found n,o ledge—indeed nothing for a long time but a littlo float. After a time, however, ho did find a .valueless stringer of quartz. This the owner of the claim hud not seen before, and immediately it was pointed out to him his prico went up 100 por cent. It is noedleBB to say that our mules were, turned immediately towards their stables." 1 Tho moral of this intorviev? 16: ""Stand in with capital'" If you don't "where are you at'" Council of the Corporation of the Cily of arnu.l Porks, and to define tho duties of the several (llli.'ci's of snid Corporation, and tlie manner iu which said duties shall be fulfilled!

It is said that two or three different routes are under advisement, but it seems to be the general opinion of those who arc in a position to know, that it will comb over what is known as liono Ranch past*. It is understood that tho road will be completed and ready for travel about the lirst of September which will be in timo for tho full and winter business. The great kick on tho present routo tho reservation peoplo had was the expense of a convoy, which had to be sent through with every load of freight for reservation pjints. The New Mining Lrtw«*.

One to Pass Creek Will Be Built. SUPT. CUPPAGE HERE He Talks Regarding the Pass Greek and Other Eoad Propositions. Four Miles of Work is Sure, Louis v, Ouppage, superintendent of 'roads and bridges for this district, is ia tho city for the purposo of figuring on building a road from Limo creek on the west sido of tho North Fork to Pass creek, a distance ot about four inilos. Buch a riniil is urgently needed for tho development of the Pass crook proporties whicli are among the most important of this section. A considerable effort has been made to socuro government ai 1 for the building of this road uud the elfort appears to be about to meet with success. Mr. Cuppago yesterday informed a Miniii reporter that if the property owners would do tho share of the wo*K that thoy had promised the government would do tlio rest, and the road would be built very shortly. r A good wagon road has been put through to Clark's, eight or nino miles, and from thore to Limo crook, a dis- tacce ot two miles, a passable road baa been built, so tbat it will be necessary only to build a road entire from Lime breelt to Vw-s creek, four miles. This distance, however will bo hard to cover lis it is impossible to put a road through thi swampy bottom lands and considerable rock work cannot be avoided. Mr, Cuppage says that the governnie.it has $500 to expend on this work und Unit this, with what assistance tbo property bwners will furnish, will build the road, In any event ajgood trail will be built on wagon road grade, which can easily he widened. Tho work on the id; in road between Grand Forks and Greenwood is nearly Completed and tho local supervisor, Jo- se;,*h Wiseman, will examine it in n fow days witn a view to accepting it for tho government. Mr. Cuppage stated, in reply to a 'question, that thero is no probability tbat a read up the east side of the North Ftrk will be built this year. I'l RELY PERSONAL. Dr. W.
