Clothier’s
Report On
The Spider
Following is the third install
ment of Clothier’s report on the
Salmon river mining district!
Spider Group.—This group is
under bond to the Algunican
Development Company, Limited,
of Belgium, under the local man
agement of W. E, Meloche. A
lot of work has been done at the
mine under the supervision of
John Hoveland. Supplies am
ounting to 100 tons were taken
into the property from the beach,
k distance of about 20 miles, last
spring over the snow, with
horses equipped with snowshoes.
Camps were built, a compressor
taken in and installed, and min
ing work started early in May.
Surface showings Indicate four
t)t five separate quartz reins
lying in an augite-porphyry rock
formation. The North or No. 1
Vein is probably the main and
oldest fissure, as the othere are
seen to converge toward it and
the No. 3 vein to sut through it.
The main vein Strikes S. 55 de
grees E, and dips 60 degrees to
the east; the other veins roughly
parallel each other and, as stat
ed, run into the main vein. No
5 Vein, Upoh which th» tunnel
had been driven 650 f et (Octo
ber 1st), strikes S. 68 degrees E
and dips from 65 degrees to 75
degrees to the west, or away
from the main Assure, and lies
between the No. 1 and No. 3
veins.
Surface work consists of an
open cut along No. 3 vein for a
length of 5o feet, showing up to
18 inches in width of ore assay
ing up fo 300 and 400 oz. of silver
a ton. A crosscut will be run
from the tunnel a distance of 135
feet to cut the No. 3 vein under
this high-grade surface showing,
obtaining a depth of approxi
mately 150 feet. Four ore-shoots

driving the tunnel, showing
thorn to bo short lenzos up to 60
feet in length. About 700 foot
of diamond-drilling was done
from the surface to prove the
continuity of the veins at depth,
and the work hai proven very
satisfactory. t
A crew of fifteen men has been
employed all summer and a com
fortable bunk-house has been
built, so that work can be con*
tinned all winter. Mr. Meloche
states that it is his intention to
Ship sufficient ore this vinter tc
