J. W. Bryant, oon-ulting engineer ;
fo: Col J. H. Conrad, of the British
Yukon Gold Mining Company. return- 1
ed from a trip to Rainy Hollow. B
C.. last Sunday.
Mr. Bryant went up the ChiK&t for
the purpose of making an examina
tion of the copj>er properties In the ,
Rain;- Hollow di-trri, and getting
samples of the vnri as ciaims.
I pon his reltirn to this city, Mr.
Bryant was nie i.v Col Co.-.ra1. and
as a result of his report, i? Is un
derstood that Ooj Conrad has seeur
el an option on the Th^ve <;uanU
men. the Burnham. Kennedy, Conroy
group. as well as ae\ oral other like
ly looking eo)iper properties in thit
vicinity.
?Yw a number of >*?rs. the>e - lain.
have l?een bonded by var^is pro
moters and each season thev have
practically remained dormant, nud
the progress of the country impeded.
With the prospect of Col. Conrad
taking hold of this property, there
is every reason to believe that the
.?opper in the Rainy Hollow district
will be mined, for he has never fail
ed in putting through any undertak
ing in which he has been interested.
iv?i Conrad recently purchased 11
miles of timber property from Ire <
\ St Claire, lying Just a<ross the
International Boundary in Rainy 11 >1
low. whi<h indicates that he alrea ly
has his eyo on the future of 'ha'
so. tton of the country
When questioned regarding the
Rainy Hollow deal. Co|. Conrad was
verv reticent a!>out speaking of the
lia r*. saving that ho preferred to
have the deal eonsummated before he
made any statement for publication
lie was asked what he knew
sl<ont 'he probable work on the Al
aska Midland railway be>ing s'art?>d
th.s summer. and said that he eonld
net say. but that if he took over
the copper mines in Rainy Hoijow.
there would be a railway built into
the district, and mentioned McKenzio
and Mann in conjunction with 'he
idea.
Within 'he next few weeks. En
gineer Bryant, together with a'
corps,* <\f competent mining men will
go into the "Hollow" and make an
exhaustive examination of the prop
erties and upon whose report a
croup of Knglish capitalists will be ?
a?ked to pronounce judgment
