To some members of the party
d.e experieiue of having their
:.;ces burned to u blister hy the re
flection of the sun's rays on the
glacial ice was a novelty, and upon
t eir return there was considerable
(Tnod-natured bantering regarding
each others' facial beauty. How
ver, the sight of unknown quanti
les of ore simply awaiting the min
ers' skill to be converted into a
marketable con modify mere than
ciinpeiisated them for scotched
kins and aching bones as the re
ult of sleeping on the ground, and
he tales they will have to tell their
i .itside friemls regarding this dis
r.ct will be lold when such so-call
ed hardships as they endured will
be remembered only as a delight,
The Outland Silver Bar group
msists of four claims, the Mount
ain Girl, Mineral Zone, Silver Bar
t;»d 0 if Silver, situated in thtt rock
lelta between the Salmon river gla
-ier and its branch which leads to
::ie Chiekamin. F.C.Outland, pre$
timt of the company, statfed that
>o additional claims, thfe Silver
oar No 2 and Eagle, wottld be tak
en into the Corporation npon his
- ^ - -
return to Seattle.
Under the direction of E. H. Bar
tholf, considerable work haa been
done on the grqup, four veins having
been exposed and traced by num
erous open cuts. On the Mountain
Girl and Bar Silver claims there is
flow a large quantity of ore in sight
which will stand the expense of
shipping out and leave a handsome
profit, and it is the intentipn to
sack all of this ore possible before
the heavy snows commence, and
haul it out on double-ender sleds
during the winter. It is believed
100 tons of this ore can be sacked
before climatic conditions cause a
cessation of outside developments,
The ore is a very fine-grained gale
na mixed with mispickel and run
ning high in both pold and silver.
The party also visited the Bro
mide group, owned by Mr. Barth
olf and associates, and situated
across the Chickamin glacier from
the Outland er Bar and about
thres miles to the west, and state
that there is on this property an
exceptionally fine showing of silver
lead ore.
The party who oame from Seattle
consisted of F. C. Outland, T. D. Mc
Lean, Robt. Nielson, W. E. Barlh
olf and Thomas Wilson. Messrs,
Bartholf and Wilson remained on
the property, the others leaving for
the south last Sunday on the
George. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Barth
olf accompanied the party Up to
the claims to show them the trail
to the camp and pilot them over
the high-grhdes.

Convinced
Did you ever heai of a miner
named Jean?
(E. H. Bartholf is the one that I
mean.)
The man who takes ch' aces
with his life,
Climbing mountains with his
supple wife:
Far and wide they have become
of note,
For skill like unto a mountain
goat.
A week ago there came Isom
Seattle,
A party of meu with the bills to
battle.
Condudted by Jean this party
struak out
On foot; and some of them were
stout.
Oh! Tenderfoot. Oh! Tender back
and face!
We pity you, when Jean and
wifey set the pace,
The Fish Camp and Nine-mile
were nicely made',
And a fine lunch for the travel
ers’ aid.
But Oh! When we left the beaten
track
And reached the cabin in the
mountains back,
With muscles sore and faces
burned,
What a day’s lesson of the trail
was learned.
The second day, after a mght on
the ground,
Some of us were jusl able to get
around.
But with mountains behind and
mountains ahead,
We had to mush, even though
half dead;
And after a million miles,
(called four,)
We cooled oUr feet on the Gla
cier's floor.
We orossed that great expanse
of ide,
And the caitip Oh the hill looked
mighty nice,
Nielson, the old Sourdoughi Wil
son and Bill,
Outlahd and Mae, were a hard#
bunch ro fill*
When the shades df night were
drawn oh high)
Tortured nerves brought dreams
With a sigh.
Otir faith in Jfcati and his 3ilVeir
claims;

Was stire placed right. And !

This news to yoUr very best pal

Just crissed dnd crossed with

We cdntii, we slaw; and sllffeted

And brother: we ard cdmitlg hack

In future days We shall tell otir
story,
When these hills shall blossotn
in their glory1
How Jean pidneered, ah’d we
backed him true—
The very best miner $8 feVer

Hobo Has
Gold Ore
Morris Pederson and Albert John
son are down from the Hobo group
having finished their assessment
worh for this year. The group
which consists of four claims, the
Hobo, Hoda, King and Red Rose, ijg
situated between l^ipe-piile and
Eleven-mile, and ebotit 3,000 fact
south-east of the New Alaska qn the
Alaskan side of the line. The works
done on the Hobo disclosed a strong
lead upoq which they did consider
able stripping, showing up an aver
age of two feet of ore which assay*
$64 in gold and four ounces in sil
ver. The property is admirably
situated from a shipping standpoint
being close to the wagon road, and
the strike of the lead is such that
a tunnel can be run in on it gain
ing almost a foot of depth for each
foot driven. It is their intention to
return Lter in the season and start
this development, and possibly take
out a -■•hipment of ore tl'is fall.
