ore. I am informed that the bondors
are very well satisfied with the re
sults of the season’s work and would
have continued the work all winter if
they hRd had time to get camps up
before the snow ■came.
The Sunset group, north of the Uni
corn, has been bonded to Vancouver
interests, who will commence work as
early as possible.
The Montana group, lying between
the Unicorn and the 49 group, lias
also been optioned recently to Eastern
people.
49 Group.—This property consists
of nine claims and lias been under
Lonf since last spring to Sam Silver
man and associates. Taking into con
sideration its location and the diffi
culties of transportation, a good sea
son’s work lias been done on it. A
fine camp was built, all lumoer and
materials being packed on horses'
from the beach, about twenty-five
miles.
Diamond-drilling was contracted for
and the machine pul on the ground,
but with inadequate power, resultin'
in the season being wasted so far as
obtaining any information from drill
ing was concerned.
A tunnel is being driven diagonail
across the main ore-showing on tu
49 claim, which looks as if it were
ing to develop a big tonnage of .
fine grade of milling-ore as will a
shoots of high grade. A new vein oh \
:i idenutl claim is also being!
explored by a tunnel that is now u j
about 50 feet (October 17th), shawl.iy, !
all the way, from 1 to 3 feet of sin;
Ding ore. There is a big surfac H
showing beyond the 19 tunnel ti 1
has never been broken into yet and 1
which may develop a big tonnage f j
at least milling-grade ore.
Prospectors have been explorin
that country past the 49 g.oup and i
dlairn there is the same mineralization j
all the way. Many claims were staked j
in there this summer and all tl
country across the glacier, where ac
cessible, has been staked.
Pay Roll Group.—These claims were
bonded early in the spring and s :■
work done on them, which evid ■ ; . j
was disappointing.
Several new companies have i -
formed already and claims and group ,
are being sold every day; couseq c , \
ly it is impossible to keep track of j
the standing of the different sections I
of the district.
