Stopping Grey Copper :
In Fish Creek Miite
Quite a flurry of excitement wa«
occasioned Monday when Jack
Mullen brought down from tl»
Fish Creek Company’s property
tome samples of the finest grey
copper ore that ever eame to Hy
ier. The report at onoe spread
that the upper lead had been reach'
ed by the crosscut tunnel, an event
which is daily expected, and the re
sults of which constitutes the most
important event pending at present
in the mining industry here.
Superintendent Harry Tanner,
when he arrived from the camp last
night, said that the ore brought
down is from a stope in the No. 1
tunnel on the Olympia claim at the
lower camp, where work has been
progressing for some time on the
ore. A raise was started 160 feet
from the portal of the tunnel to
connect with No. 2 tunnel, 180 fret
above, and a shoot of high grade
was opened up which Mr. Tanner
believes is the same shoot upon
which a shift has been working all
summer in the upper tunnel. The
shoot below Is widening and becom
ing richer as the raise is continued,
end the ore is being sacked for
shipment. The specimens brought
down show solid grey copper with
t exception of an occasional cube
of galena, and Mr. Tanner calls it
"thousand ounce rock."
More than fifteen tons of ore,
worth from $300 to $400 per ton
has been packed down the hill and
is now in the Hyder Transfer Com
pany’s barn, and the packing will
continue until the deep snow forces
« suspension, which may not be for
fnore Ilian a month. The ore then
accumulated will be sent to the
•milter, making the third shinment
..
from thi« property this mm
Should a spoil of frosty weather
coma and the trail freeze up, the
packing would he made much easiei
and (wavier loads could bo brought
down. Much of tha now trail built
by the government has washed out
and tha extreipuiy wot season has
put all of the trails io pood coodi*
tien.
W, R. Tonkin, president and
manager of the company, is still at
the upper camp, and could not be
pried away with a pinch bar until
the oro is struck in the upper
tunnel.
WORKING ON ORE HUNKERS
Timber work on the tr.»m oon
rtruotion is practic lly finished, all
of the towfers being completed ex
cept the four at the lower end, and
these will bo up in a few days.
The timber men have nearly all
been transferred to the ore buukers
at the wharf, upon which rapid
progress is being made. Extensive
alterations and improvements have
also been made to the wharf, in
cluding the installation of a large
float for the convenience of small
craft. The wharf was improperly
built in the first place, being too
small to accommodate'the traffic.
Following the withdrawal of theGeorge
from the Ruperl-Stewart run. Captain A.
Swanson of Rupert has placed the Pro
vincial back on the run, alternating with
the John and thus maintaining a weeely
passenger service. He is trying to per
suade the Canadian postal authorities
that the residents of Stewart need mail
Oftener than twice a month in the winter
and is asking for a contract to carry it.

The Portland Canal New* maintains
that "quire" means a collection of sing
era* Somehow or other we would rather
take Daniel Webster’s word on questions
such as this than place our reliance in
the News, much as we admire the pro
found erudition Sometimes displayed by
that journal, especially on such weighty
subjects as Imperial politics. Webster
says that "quire'’ means "a collection of
paper consisting of 24 sheets," and that
’’choir" means "a chorus, or band of sing*
era, especially those belonging to a
church ” We have been informed that
’’quire"'is used in the Church of England
Prayer Hook. But the Miner accepts
Webster, rather than the Church cf Eng
land Prayer Book, as an authority on
spelling and word definitions. How would
"Heavenly Quire” look in printT You’re
right—it would look like hell.

MAY AMERICANS WORK?
One of those peculiar street re
ports which seem to spring spontan
eously and spread like wild must
ard, has been going the rounds for
several days to the effect that none
but Canadian voters will hereafter
be employed at the Premier. Can
ada has a oontrast labor law, simi
lar to that of the United States,
that ha alien may not be employed
outside of the country to Come and
work in the country. But if he is
employed in the country where the
work Is to be done, there is no law
to prevent it. The enforcement of
this law (if it is being enforced)
would be sufficient in this section
to start such a rumor as has been
circulating.
