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.

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 . 6 wm^^m^amt 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 We have slock in this company at 26 cent-^ per share, and can recommemi the purchase. ■m Silverine Sold JV\ining Co.

It lias now been slrijiped for a distance of 150 feet and the process is slill being continued. The work .so far done lias disclosed a vein from six to thirty inches in wi(hli. Tlie ore is a solid arsenical iron and runs from $6 to $20 in gold.

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 10 i 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 K^ II mmmm ''" f'^e vein towar.Is the shnff t. • ~" TO" 1% Three i, ., .„„ ,„„ . , ""'"' '^"'^ '" ^"'^ ore. -y.,,,,, - l-c,...- i.er.,. .„e„. ■ - - -- .« ^'..^.. ... ,■..„,. . ,„ .,..,„„ .,„ ,„„„,„^^ ,^,_ Tf^e^Califopnia Sold fining Co.

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.
