FIND HIGH GRADE
ON BUTTE GROUP
Nils Olson and partners, who
are engaged: in prospecting,
the DoCte ’Grow/ recently CfftSt1
cut the first of four flfte sur
face showings while facing up
a new tunnel recently started;
encountering in the process a
wide vein of high grade ore
of considerable promise.
Assays made from samples
taken across the lead gave re
turns running: close to $100 per
ton in gold, silver and lead, the
latter being the predominating
element.
The group comprises four
claims and is located about 8
miles up Salmon river valley,
between the Riverside, and
Alaska- Premier properties.
Four veins running from four
to eight feet in width and
traceable on the surface for
about 2,000 feet, indicate
strong mineralization.

CHANGE IN' GRAND TRUNK
STEAMER SCHEDULE
In a letter to Postmaster Hill
relative to the new direct mail
service between Seattle and
Hyder via the Grand Trunk
Pacific steamers, Superintend
ent Vandervoort, of the Alaska
branch of the Railway Mail
Service, states that a new
schedule of sailings will be
come effective November 27,
after which the Grand Trunk
boats will leave Vancouver at
11 P^ M. every Monday arriv
ing at Stewart Thursday morn
ing and leaving again at 12
o’clock, noon, the same day. On
the return .trip south* the
steamers are scheduled to ar
rive at Vancouver at 7 a. m.
Sunday.
Mr. Vandervoort explains the
welcome improvement in the
local mail facilities by stating
that it is "the result of repre
sentations recently 'made to
the office by the assistant post
master at Hyder of conditions
at your port and through the
kind cooperation of the Can
adian postal officials at Van
couver.”
■ - Apparently no compensation
is paid for the service and no
compensation is allowed for
carrying the mail between the
postoffice and Stewart wharf.
. Postmaster Hill is therefore
'compelled to do it himself
without remuneration until
such time si an allowance is
made for that purpose.

ADDISON PLANS TO
RETURN IN SPRING
' L., F. Paddiaon, representa
tive of the U. S. Smelting and
SeSatfittr ‘Ccanpiny, who has
been giving the district an ex
tensile investigation during
the past three weeks, left
Friday ' for Salt Lake City.
That Mr. Paddison’s visit may
be of considerable advantage
to the district in the future is
indicated by his statement be
fore departure that he intends
to return early in the spring
and renew his investigations.
GOLD STRIKE CREATES
MUCH EXCITEMENT
The recent strike of free mill
ing gold ore in the vicinity of
6 Mile has caused a veritable
stampede to locate claims in
that locality during the past
week.' It has now been definite
ly determined that the narrow
quartz stringers in which the
gold is found extend for a con
siderable distance up the hill
side, with the result that
claims have been staked from
the Salmon River road practic
ally to the top of Mount Dolly,
several thousand feet. Samples
of the ore recently brought to
town are literally plastered
with flakes of gold and assays
running as high as $22,800 are
said to have been obtained
from rich samples. According
to those who have visited the
scene, the stringers are found
along a greenstone and granite
contact, in which a schist form
ation occurs. Similar streaks
of quartz containing free gold
ore said to have been found at
other points in the district,
notably in the Hovland proper
ties on Fish Creek.
From present indications it
appears that the find hardly
warrants the considerable ex
citement created. According to
experienced mining men the
deposits are too small to work
at a profit under the best con
ditions, although they may
lead tb more extensive bodies
of ore with development.
-;-O——:
Work on the Hovland proper
ties on Fish Creek is progress-:
ing at a satisfactory pace, ac
cording to Arthur Mea, man
ager. The tunnel from Skook
um Creek is in about forty feet
on a good sHoot of ore ana pre
liminary work is also being
done on the dam and pipe-line
for the power plant.

SAYS DEASE LAKE NOT
“GUM BOOT" CAMP
Dr. C. D. Carter, who return
ed last week from the new
placer strike in the Dease Lake
region, states that the district
has all the earmarks of a pro
ductive camp but in his opinion
it will not develop into a poor
man’s camp and he would not
advise anyone going in there,
at least until the character of
the diggings is more clearly es
tablished.There are good pros
pects on several creeks, he
says, but the only gold found
up to the time of his departure
was along the creek rims,
water preventing prospecting
of the creek beds. It is a good
country to prospect in, he says,
with lots of game and wood,
and other conditions favorable.
Dr. Carter secured several
pieces of ground by purchase
and did a small amount of
prospecting, finding prospects
from the grass roots down to
water-level, but no pay. Al
though a considerable number
visited the new district durftig
the open season, the prospects
were not sufficiently alluring
to induce more than a very
few to winter there. Dr. Carter
says there is no difficulty in
getting into the country, by
ri-ver or auto and freighting
was not difficult. Owing to the
strike being made so late in
the season "very TittTe v acfuST

Emporium.
mining was done, practically
everyone there devoting them
selves mainly to prospecting
qjong the three or four creeks
where gold had been found.
Dr. Carter says he was inclined
to winter there at first but
later decided to leave and re
turn in the spring properl
equipped to prospect h
ground.
Construction work on the
new section of the Salmon Riv
er road wa3 suspended Friday
by Seims and Carhon, of Soo
kane, the contract rs, after the
eomiflstron of approximately
5500 feet of grade ’ road from
the vicinitv of the Riverside
mine, northward.
According to O. G. Carlson*
superintendent, the contract
is about 50 per cent completed
and the remainder, comprising
about 1600 feet, will be finish
ed next summer. One of the in
completed sections lies just be
low the Riverside, the other to
the north of that property.
Around 13,000 yards of mater
ial was handled during the
summer, most of it being rock .
blasted from the mountainside
along which the new roadway
runs over the greater part of its
course. Three compressors and
crew averaging around forty
men were employed during the
greater part of the summer.
