of the kind on the American con
tinent. The distance from the
mine to the wharf is 11 miles.
Ore bunkers will he constructed
at the wharf, into which the ore

Jack Martin
Crosses The
Great Divide
Jack Martin who faft for the
Outside Maroh 4 in the hopes of ob
taining relief for stomach trouble
from which he had suffered for sev
eral months, died in Vancouver on
the 13th shortly after his arrival
there, according to a teleeram re
ceived here. The news will cause
no surprise to his many friends in
this camp, but nevertheless will be
received by them with no less re
gret, because it marks the passing
of one who possessed a fund of ster
ling qualities.
Like most of thoea- who follow
the frontier, Jaok was of a quiet,
retiring disposition, disinclined to
aiVCUIl mo uwu viiauv, auu muc
definite it known of hie past. He
was bom in Australia, leaving there
when quite young and traveliqg
over much of the world. About
1898 he landed in Alaska and has
since made the north his home. In
May ef last year he airived in Hy*
der from Anchorage and wosked at
the mines until failing health com*
palled him to call a halt. Through
his siokness he never complained
and never gave up, keeping on his
feet until the day he went south.
As to his relatives, nothing is
known here. He was 52 years old.

Continuation Of
Clothier’s Report
Unicorn Group—This group
has been under bond to J. Me*
Donald for over a year. A great
deal of work was done on the
surface a year ago with very
promising results. This year a
crosscut tunnel was driven 210
fo-t and a diamond drill hole run
a further 260 feet from the face
of the tunnel. The tunnel was
driven in barren greenstone with
small cross-Btringers of barren
quarts. Of the drill hole only
the last five- feet gave any en
couragement, consisting of pyri
tized quartz. Diamond drilling
amounting to 300 or 400 feet was
done at other places on the
claims without results. Owing
to snow I was unable to examine
the surface cuts to which the
tunnel was driven. The bond
was thrown up this fall.
Hercules Mines, Ltd.—Work
was resumed on this property,
after lying: idle since 1911, under
the management of Major-Gen
eral R. G. Edwards Leckie. with
Joe Pall in charge of the work.
The surface work done in the
early days exposed several ex
ceptionally good showings of ore
carrying geod values in gold,
silver and lead. The work this
year was confined chiefly to
driving a tunnel under one of the
most promising surface show
ings. The results were disap
pointing, as it failed to pick up
the ore at that depth. The
length of the tunnel is about 200
feet. A shaft was also sunk 30
feet on another surface showing,
the ore cutting off horizontally
at a depth of about 16 feet. A
good winter camp was erected
With the intention of continuing
work all winter, but it was latei
decided to close down ana resume
work in the spring.
