The Porcupine Mine T HIS pniporty consists of Mining; Location (/> T, Lontainiiit,' ifw acres, and was worked In spasmodic manner and witli a very irrei,'nlar force for about a year previous to 1S87. A t,'Oiid wat,'on road to connect uitli the Canadian Pacific Railway at Murillo Station and oninuinicalioM with Port Arthur was built, and In addition to the erection of the necessary camp buildinjjs some driftiuj,' and test pittiii},' work was done on a vein troni 2 feet to (> feet In width, from whicli there was extracted oser Sij.otK) In ore tliat for the most p;irt consisted of ma-si'.e Art;entite and Native Silver, shipments t.^'f which were ni.ide to the Smelters. Ofi the sireiiffth of these showlnf,'s the property was sold for S50.OCX1 cash, and the purchasers proceeded to open up the property by systematic development, blockiiii; out the ore by drifts, shafts and winzes, and the proper!) .11 the lime of closing'' down, (on account ol litif,'ation|, was very fairly well opened up to commence •■topiiii; and milliiij,'. While this development was >,''oinf,' on some ^,i)00 tons or more were sloped out above the adit level and milkil at the " Had^'er" .Mill. Althou),'h jio accurate liijures or data were ever kept of this niilliui^. It is belie\i irom the infiirmalion j^'alhered, and from statements m.ide by the Mana^fer o( the " H;idf,rer " at that i; e, that the ore a\era.i;eil over 20 o/s. of sIKor per Ion. Oi\ the seciiud level, as shown In the acctMupan_\ int,^ s' etch oi the \\0rkln14s, svutie \er\ rich smeltlnj; ore Has encountered in the vicinltv ot the main shaft.

Thi^v rocks ol this nistrici tire those ol the Lower t'timbrltin series known tis the onv|s| o\' b!;i.. k art.>-illaceous -l:i!o. .and are comparatively soft and easilv drilled, the ^jiM II t r^^wg^ rate of drilliiifj hy hand beinff about lour (4) loet per hour. Above these slates Is a eappiii),' ^^t hard mas-ixc Basalt or Trap rock, varyiiis; in thickness in different localities from 10 feet to kk) feet. The siKer enrichment usually occurs below the junction of the Trap with the slates, and is rarely found in the Trap in an> consider, ible quantities. The .\nimiki slates lie horizontally, and the veins, which are of the true lissurc lypv, cut throujrh both the .Slates and Trap at a very steep an),'le or dip, usually 70 to Ho . The lis^ures arc lliv result of a faulting' of the rocks, .and there is in nearly all cases a considerable displacement ol the lianj,'iii^; .iih! foot walls, the thrust varying' from 10 feet to f» feel. At the " Porcupine " the dilfcrence of le\el belweeu llic junction of the trap and sl.ites on the i >'t wall and its corre-pondinj,' point on the hanfiinj,' wall is 10 feet, and the depth of the trap capping' ol^ the hi^^her side, that is. the loot will, is ',5 lect. below the surface. The vein lillinfj consists of a ganjfue of quartz, calcite and baryta, which in main places exist breed ited wiili portions of the slale country rock. These >,'ant,'ne constituents are mineralized to a >;realer or less e\lenl in different portions of the same vein by iron pyrites, j,'alena, ar)feiitilerous zinc blende, ar^'enlile (sihei t^lance) and native silver. I'he .\rs,'entite exists in the vein Imlh in the nu>;j,'el .md leaf form, iuif,'>;els ol solid silver as larj,'e as a man's he.id h.ivinj,' been t.iken out, \ali\e siKer in both the wire and leaf varieties is also encountered, but is not so prevalent as the black sulphide of siKer (ari,'entite), .\ pale ^'reeii ami tfreasy substance, locally known as mountain tallow, which is chemic.ill_\ described as a liMlr.iled sillc.iU- ol niafjnesia. is found imprc),'natin^' both the vein itself and alon;,' its walls, Ihis mountain lalKnv li.is been found to be intimately associated with rich depositions of silver, and is always looked for as a i,'ood indlcalion of the approach to a rich chute of ore. The dark v.irieliv^ of zinc blende are found to be lii^hly ari,'enlilerous, niiminf,' in some e.ises .is hi-h as ^.rxK) ozs, in silver to Ihe ton. 0( Ihe Porcupine Mine in January. lH()i), (alter some additional development work had been carrieil i'ul under my direct supervision while Manaj,'er of llie " Madt,a-r Mine'l 1 then reported as lollows: ••Vou will notice by ulancinj; al Ihe aecumpanyin^ uiidert^round plan of llie rorcupine Minellie amount of ore available for stopinj; as well as what has already been sloped out. .\pproximalel\ there is ore enouffh at present blocked out to keep a 10 stamp mill running,' for at le.ist two years, and slnkiii;,' llie present shaft two hundred to three luindred feet deeper, would open up a very lai>;e ore body iil a qualitv thai uill pav a ha.KlsonK- mar^Mn, over a,ul above the oxp.Msos .^f milliner and niinini:. and I confidently expect thai a iar-e anun.nt of smeltini,' ore will he encountered sncl. as had already been shipped when the mn,e was in operation last, with values rnnnini,' from ;,ik>'.o .;,<«)< o/s. to the ton." The above observations refer onl> to the I'o.cupine Mine proper, .\bout .?oo feet east of the Porcupine but npon the s.ame location and parallel thereto, lies the Porcupine Junior, an exceedinjily lu-e and well defined vein on which development uorU was done shortly before the mine closed dou.i \ tunnel was run into the side o( the nuninl.nn lor some distance throu-h the drift and alluvial over- llow sirikin- solid rock formation and what » as supposed to be the vein, the outcroppin- of which shows on ,op o\ the hill. riiis tunnel was driven for a total distance of h,,5 feet, .xV> leet of which was on the vein and where it showed an averafje width of two feet, and w.is in places very rich in silver. Some stopin- w.is also done above this level, ,ind it is estimated approximately that about Sjccxx) in .iKer was taken from tiK-e workin-s. Subse.|uenlly it was determined, /ipparently, that this work was ilto'-elher on .i " feeder " to the vein, uhicli w.is intersected at about 40 feel in, where it showed trom ;, ', to ', i;.."^t' of solid and well minerali/ed vein c.irrvin- eonsider.able native silver. No further work was done on ,l,i. ^.in. but its characteristics are such as to warrant the belief that a very lar^^' body of rich ore will be Kniiul at or ne.ir the junction ol the ••feeder" with the main vein. Ihis vein is a mine in itselt, the possibilities ol which are as i^real as that ot llie I'orcupine proper, and I h.ive no li. ilation in stating' that it is possible, under inlelli^cnt direction, to place this properly upon,, pavin-b.isis with a comparatively small expendi- ,,„•,. ..( monev for necessarv machinerv and labor, and I atn e.|u,illy confident that upon further surlace .splor.ilions upon this hitherto bul p.irliallv prospected area, other ar-entiferous veins of equal merit will be disov ered. ri,e M-esent l-ompanv took possession in July, i.,(>i. I'lu- mine was pumped out. .and alter a very small imount ol exploration work w.is done, shipping ore ot the very hi^hesl -rade was found to exist in sovc.il pl.ices. In one place in p.irticular there exists (, inches o\ ore thai is as nearly solid silver as it is possible to be. l-Vom one place a small piece .^i :;round was sloped oul, and a lest shipment of 13 tons made to the smeller al Omaha. The ore was roui;hly sorted into two -r.ides, the hi-her ^rade runnin^f .V)'>.7-! ^zs. ind the lower i.o.jo o/s. ot silver to the Ion. Tiie de^.ioplneut work since July has consisted ot t I i i th.- extension of tho second level, botli east and west, in driving which some very rich ore has been encountered, one chute in particular was struck November 4th carrying a . -• inch pay streak ol ore assaxui- H,XMi ozs. to the ton. This development has increased the amount of ore blocked out by some ^txxi Ions. It is proposed to sink tlie main shaft ^o feet deeper and lo open up another level immediately, as rich ore exists in the bottom of tlie sh.ill, which is ai present 40 feet below No. 2 Level. The total amount ol development on the main I'orcupiiie consists of i.d.jo feet of driftins,' and J50 feet of shafting. When the Companv look over the property in July, no plant existed on the property. Since then an ^ .client hoisting' plant. ..apable of handlinj; J,'s are li^'hted by eleclricily, the electric plant havm^; .. capacity of 50 lij,'hts. There are also on hand some ',«> cords of wood.
