Directors are confident that they are offering the investing public a grand opportunity for
cheap, safe investment in one of the future great mines of the now famous Trail Creek Camp.
The C<)lonna, taken >lrictiy as a legitimate mining venture, atlords the l>iggest opportunities of any
property in the district. Situated in the centre of the Monte Cr'sto nu^untain producers, with ii>
excellent natural surroundings, its good ore transportation facilities, its large deposits of high-grade
-hipping ore, the owners of the Buckeye claim for this property that it has, for the amount of
development work done, not an e(|ual even in the wonderful Trail Creek C'amp.

The property of the Colunna (iold Mining Co. — the Buckeye, No. 2— -is situated on the west
slope of Monte Cristo Mountain, and is a triangular->liai>ed piece of ground twenty-two acres in
extent, lying between the Monte Cristo, Kvening Star, Silverine and Eddie J. Claims.

at the Trail smelter on arcount of its copper attriliutes.

Work is being pushed on the Colonna. Two shafts on the cross-cut tunnel, now in 50 feet,
will lie driven 75 feet further to connect with No. 1 shaft. The shaft house is under construction
Work on No. 2 shaft has shown an open vein of black oxide of copper three feel wide. A lower
tunnel will be run to gain a depth of 500 feet. Air drills will be used in both tunnels, the power
to be used coming from Monte Cristo's new compressor plant. There is a magnificent showing in
the open cut and the shafts make the property a favorite here, and the stock has found a leady
market. — Toronto IVorlif, Nov. Qlh.

6 I'^'i I ERE is no lont^cr any rcaxsnalilc doiibl but that the pay ledge lias l)efii cut by the lower
tunnel of the Evening Star. It was thought, two weeks or more ago, this ledge had been
found ; but, while a ledge was really cut, and while it was a very large one (being about
seventeen feet in width), the ore in it was much scattered and not of a protitable grade. After
passing this ledge, two or three stringers of pay ore were passed Now the ore liody found in the
Cronan tunnel above se(.-ms to have been discovered at a depth of about 100 feet from the surface.
The lower tunnel lanu- inlo what appeared to be a strong ledge several days ago, and this morning
had ;\))parenlly got through it Tlie last four or five feet were in i)recisely the same kind of ore as
found in the Cronan tunnel abo\ e. No assays had been made up to the time The Mini r went to
press, but the texture, color and general character of the ore leave no doubt as to its grade. It i->
not in solid mass, and will save to be sorted, as that which is found in the Cronan tunnel ; but if
the grade is high, this is of no consequence.

Superintendent ScralVord will extend his tunnel a few feet to see if he is entirely through the
ledge, and will then drift both ways on the ore body. It will now be the policy of the Evening

Star Company tf> [iress the prfxhtrtivo rap.icity of the mine to the utmost. Ore will be taken from
the shaft now down about 35 feet, Irom the Oonan tunnel ami from the lower tunnel. It is
believed 15 tons a day can be taken out from this linii' forward.

A contraei has been made for the hauling of the ore to the ("nlumbia and Western Railroad,
l)y which shipment will be made to the Trail smaller. Mr. Hein/.L- went out and evamined the
M\ine carefully, lie was much pleased and contracted for the entire output. — Rosshind Miner,
Sept. 2Sth.

The Evenini; Star is shippin;^ two carloads of ore a week, 'i'he ore is delivered to the Colum-
bia and Western Railroad at the depot, to which point it is hauleii in wa<;ons. A spur will be put
in shortly within half a mile of the mine, and when this is done the >hipmcn;s will be increased.

The shaft is nov\ down 40 feel on the vein and shows five feet of shipping; ore in the bottom.
It is a little below the level of the (>onan tunnel. The lower tunnel, which i> i" 200 feet, as
announced last week, has cut the vein too. .\ drift is being run to the west to conned with the shaft.
It will have to be Iriven 50 feet mme on the vein to gel under the shaft. The showing here is si\
feet of arsenical iron ore. Preparations are now being made to ship the ore obtained from this
drift. The vein appears to have been completely cross-cut by the tunnel, and shows to be about
nine feet wide, of which about five feet are ore— /xo^slaiui Afincr, Oct. 2nd

fJ^E wish to call the attention of the investing public to the fact th.i*. the policy pursued by
Jrafls successful mining men, is to invest in a large number of different mines instead of
^^ investing their all in one property This is the policy of the hU: Three (ii)Kl Mining
Company in ronsolidating th<'se three or.ipeilies into one comjiany, thereby giving the smaller
investor an ecpial clianc ■ with larger .e>li)rs, and ic company has in* hesitancy in staling that
lh(", are offering one of the safest naning invtslmenls ever oflcie<l, as these three properties were
all bought 01 th'.'ir inilivioual merits. Hy he system adopted, through consoliilatioii, the operating
expenses will be materially reduced. For instance, one set of iii;u hiiiery will be sufllciciit to
develop aiitl operate the .Snow .Shoe and Southern Belle Claims; also much money may be siived
from the fact that the general manager, chief engineer and ntfire employees re(niired to operate
the entire groii]) wiil not be more than would be n-ouired to )ir(»perly manage a .single pr"nerty
under the ordinary system of separate organi/ations.

SOUTHERN BELLE. — This property consi.sLs of about thiily acres, situated on the northeast
slojie of K<-'d Mountain, which adjoins the ClifT on the north, and the \'iew on the east — evidently
two valuable miius located on two sidles of this property The de\elopment work consists of two
shafts, about fil'teen feet to twenty feet each, resulting in the exposition of very jiromising ore.
By the recent development on the ''\'iew" mine, one of the adjoining properties on which work
has been done, within fifty feet of this claim, the continuity of this vein is ab.sclutely traced the

■ Wl I— 1 1

m "^

entire lenglli uf the Southern Belle, being perfectly verified by the shafts and open cuts in this
claim. The promoters feel confident that a small expenditure will result in the development of a
valuable property as one of the permanent assets of the company.

The Southern Belle, while cross-cutting No. 3 lead, 40 feet from the surface, struck a vein
four feet wide which assays forty dollars. — Mail and E»iptrt\ Nov. 1 2th.

SNOW SHOE. — This claim is located on the northeast slope of Red Mountain, adjoining the
Southern Belle on the north and west, and the Northern Belle on the east, about forty acres. The
develo])mcnt consists of numerou> ojK'n cuts and shafts. The ore taken from this claim is very
high grade for surface showing, and the assays have been very satisf.ictory. The vein passing
through, or making the Northern Belle mine, is known as the Snow Shoe \'ein. This claim lieswell
for tunnel work, nnd will be developed by that method.

THE MASCOT. — The Mascot-Kldorado, one of the properties now being developed by the
Big Three Company, has a splendid showing, both in the tunnel and in the shaft. The tunnel,
which is a continuation of the tunnel started on what was supposed to be the Eldorado, is now
in eighty-seven feet. The face shows very good ore and lots of it. It occurs in seams and bunches
all through the rock, the w'idest being (jighteen inches. It is being run to intersect the shaft at a
vertical depth of between 150 and 200 fett. The ore being now taken out differs very materially

ttUMMI

in appearance from that ii\ llic croppings at the mouth of the tunnel. This was a dark-colored,
coarse-grained sulphide of iron and did not carry j)ay value. The ore in the face is perceptibly
liner grained and is mixed with calcspar showing very similar characteristics to the Koolenay ore.
In the shaft above, a niagnificent siiowing of ore is uncovered on the bottom It has widened out
as depth was gained until it is now six feet wide. It is similar to what is found in the face of the
drift. It is, however, not yet solid ore, but shows a considerable admixture of country rock and
calcspar. There appears to be little doubt that a l)ig chute of ore similar to that of the Kootenay
mine has been located in this property, and the future of the mine will depend on the extent and
richness of this chute, which has yet to be determined by development. A good road has been
made to the tunnel site and buildings have been erected. Everything is in ship-shape order. The
work that has in so short a time shown up so much, has been at once economical and skilful and
lucky. It will be almost impossible from now on to make a mistake or waste a dollar in ihe
development of the property.

There is a great showing of ore on the Mascot. In our issue of last week, we mentioned the
fact that the shaft had four f-^et and a half of ore. At a depth of 20 feet this ore body has widened
to fully five feet of very clean, fine-looking ore. Superintendent \Villiams has also started work in
the old Eldorado tunnel, which was in about 70 feet. He has driven it about 25 feet further, and
Tuesday evening had a full face of ore. It is a magnificent showing. The tunnel is being driven

We are also sole agents for this Company, and the stocks are now 15 cents per share. In our
opinion, this is a great investment.

Several days ago, Superintendent Williams was doing some prospecting work in the southwest
corner of the claim, when he ran ui)on a point of weather-worn rock which protruded hut slightly
from the soil. On close examination, he noticed c<')pper stain and proceeded to do the stripping.
He soon saw that he was on a big ledge. Where the capping was knocketl off, the copper and iron
showed plainly, in some places the ore being quite compact.

He put a force of 30 men to work stripping, ami it was soon apparent the course of the ledge
was almost north, Iiut with a westerly trend. This is something unusual for the camp, as nearly
all the ledges run northeast and southwest, or east and west. Up to Wednesday afternoon, 100
eet of the ledge had been stripped, the average width being 16 feet. Two assays had been
mjide. The lirst gave $8 in gold and tive [ler cent. co])per. The second gave $5 in gt)!d and four
ounces in silver, no test being made for copper. These assays leave no doubt as to the value of
the discovery. As soon as a little depth is had, the ore will almost certainly be of good grade. —
Rossland Miner, Oct. aSih.

The California is looking well. The No. I shaft on the road has six inches of clean ore and
there is more or ess ore through the entire bottom. No, 2 shaft on the new north and .south vein
has some ore and everything points to the near approach to a solid body. In the lower tunnel

there are two feet of beautiful (juartz, all lieavily mineralized. The face is improving every day. —
Miner, Nov. 301I1.

The California opened into a large body of good-looking ore in shaft No. 2 yesterday. —
Mail and Empire, Nov. 12th.

Kighteen men are working in the California lower tunnel, now at no feet. It will be ilriven
150 feet, following the lead to the cross-cut ledges, which show on the surface at the top of the
hill. No. 2 shaft, at 55 feet, makes as good a showing as No. I shaft at 40 feet, and is well
mineralized. Additional machinery will be in place in a few days. — Toronto World, Nov. l6lh.
