The Victoria claim of your group is situated very favonrablv, bcifig on the strike of the l.enora reef, and in one or two places exposure not oidy shows the same vein irialter, but shows the same ore. ami no doubt Im* "I'lk in one |ilace would prove a valnaWe body of '.}::■ s;iti;c .•■;-.].]«ir or.-.

Tf:( re is no donbl bnt what intelligent work will in a short lime jirove thcsi' elaiiiis to be valuable shipping mines, as the 'Jony, now being develop! 1 on this same strike, ha.s proven the continuation of the Ldiora's rich ore body. It wiiuid be u.solosf; for me to here repeat what is alrcailv history of the l.enora and Tyee mines, as tbiy are already provi n second to noiii' in this Prov- ince, and have .shown pay ore from grass roots, and c( rtaiiily there is not a camp anywhere in this IVovince that has turned out the ore that this has, with so little money s[K'nt in development. Having been the first ore to Icing the mountain t.> the notice of the public, and having introdnceil ihe fiist eapilal on the iiioiiiitain, from which such good results have been obtained, 'vith the knowledge gained from four years spent in the camp, I assure yoii that von are to be eonirratnlated on aecpiiring so vi'liiable properties as these are. Trusting that these few lines will meet with .vour apiiroval, and further as.siiriiig von that I shall be jileascd at aii.v time, when biisinc*s jtonnits, to go over the properties with vou.

Air. Henry Croft said to the ( oloiiist that there was n • doiiht of the extent of thu ore body. .\lr. Carlyle, \. > e.\ainined^the properties, said if there was anything shown by the development \\ lien he saw it, it was that the values were coi4- liiiiioiis, and that they would hold with depth. It is the general supposition that the two veins, as seen iu the Leiiora, are likely to becomo united at lower dejillis. Mr. Croft .said further, spt'akin^ d' the eharaeirr ol the ore dtpe.sits on the l.enora, that thiy were two parallel leads about 170 feet a|)art, and tliese would likely come together with depth. The Leiiora is to have another tunnel 1,100 feet in length driven, and it will be in the vein all the way. i'or this work, which will be uinhrtakeu and prosecuted at once, the ( 'onipany is putting in a two-drill compnssor. Development is progressing on the I.«nora, and ! already there are two years" ore in sight. There I have been ll',OOU tons of ore raised from the south \ein, and at present some 70 tons per day are bei'i,^ sorted, ilore could he handled, but development is taking lirst place. 'J'lie Company has ordered another locomotive, twice the size of the one at present in use, for their ore railway, and shipments are to he ei.ntinued regul. ;ly. Of other claims, Mr. Croft said thi^ Key Citv, on I the wi'st side of the Lenora, was being at present I opened up by Sacrainento j)eople, with very satisi'ae- I lory showing. The Tony, next to the Key Ciiy, i whii-li is also being develojK'd, showed good oTf in a [.strike made last week. The (;op(HT Canyon, on th'' [river below, and on the same lead as the J^'nora, has >w been bonded, and development is ex|)ectei|. An engineer from Scotland has examined for j re|Kirt the properties of the Alount Sicker Uritish (d|||iiibiii development Comiwiiy, some sixteen I'lainis in all, represented by Mr. Croft, and it i!< ( xpeeted that development is to f{o ahead oii iliese also. I'jist of the K. A N. Kail way, oil Mount Kiehiirds, ore has been struck in the I'J.I-fiMit tiinni I I on the Daisy claim. [Victoria Daily Times, May 11, 1001.] W. .\. Dier, who recently purchased several coj)- per piopcrlies at .Mount Sicker, has returned from hi* new ai'ipiisilions, where lie lias been superintendiu!; tli<> coiiimencemi'nt of developiiii'iit operations on the Susan, Cojiper Canyon and Victoria claims. So far only a few iien have been put to work, hut this force uill be greatly augmented in a short while. Tho pieliniinary work will be carriinl on by hand labor, as was the ease with the l.i'liora, the ore of these [iioperties being much softer than in the Kootcnays. In fad, .Mr. I'ier doc.i not coiitcnifilate installing a coiiipres-sor plant for at least three months, ile jiointed out that it was only recently that machinery uas installed in the Tyee. Asked regarding the pro- jected smelter at Jilount Sicker, as lirst announced in these columns h'st evening, he said that he had not jiiet Mr. Wilson, the promoter, but understiMxl that he had his site secured. [Vhtoiia Daily Times, May n, I'JOl.] 11. -McColloiigli, of this city, who is interested in some of the claims on IJoiianza Creek, Klondike, has been paying the .Mount Sicker properties a visit, and ex|iresses a very Tugli opinion id" the pipssibilities ot the l.enora, I'yvv and Air. Dier"s properties, as well jis the other claims located in that district. Mr. McCollough made a complete insiiection of the l.enora and Tyee, and says that there is an enormous amount of ore in .sight, and that tlio.se who have in- terests in any claims at Mount Sicker have a goixl proposition lie says that the principal topic of con- versation at .Mount Sicker was the establishment of the smelter. lie has iic;'onipatiied .Mr. Wilson on his trip to the scene, and that gentlenian had remarked that his principal obj-ct in coming from the Old Country was to investigate theii properties, esiiecially the Tyee, and ti make arrangements for the establish- iiient of a smeller. The location of the smelter, Mr. McCollough thcjiglr, would 1h' somewhere in the viiinity of Chehiainus. Mr. McCollough i- inter- ested in Some claims this side of Moniit Sicker, w liicli, in his opinion, contain ore as rich as that beinij taken from that place. Of course, these have not as vet been devebiped, but when the reipiirid capital can Im' procured this will be done. WIIKKK MOI'NT SICKKK (ilVKS VV ITS WKAI.TII.
