Only a small piece of the claim is on land. As it w as the iirst gold. mine staked in the district. the stakers were allowed to take in as much of the lake as the claim would t‘nVcr. It is current news at the north end of the lake that at its last station just oï¬l shore. the drill cut the vein at lessi than 200 feet. and that the last core was thickly studded with yellow gold. Mr. llunter is himself in charge. having recently returned ! from England. He was accompanied ' here by friends. who were present when a good many shots were tired along the surface of the vein. Not a shot failed in bringing out visible gold in greater or lesser quantities. and the single thing left to determine was how far it penetrated the earth. It is current that Mr. Hunter pro- ’posed employing a substantial force of men all summer in opening up the property with shafts and crosscuts, .. the work to be laid out on a work- ing basis in anticipation of a mill being erected in the not distant fu- ture.

Three Nations Promising Vein 'l‘he crosscut on the Three Nations at. the lOO-foot level has now cut the vein. which looks very promising at that depth. Dovclopmvnt work on this proper- ty is being carried on extensively un- der most economic conditions. The shaft has been sunk to 100 feet. and after cutting out a station will crosseut to catch their main vein. The main vein dipped out. of the shaft at 4'2 feet in depth and in sink- ing fmm 75 to 90 feet in depth sex- 01 ml small veins and stringers were cut showing free gold.

N. 'l... says that. Capt. Scott did not. iret to the South Pole before Capt. Aniund- sen. the Norwegian. on January 3rd last. three. weeks after Amundsen stood at the Pole. Scott was still 150 miles away. Captain Scott's vessel. Terra No- va, which carried the British expedi- tion to the Antarctic. has arriVed at Akaroa. a harbor in Banks Peninsu- la. Sew Zealand, but has not brought back Captain Scott. or the members of his expeditioo. The commander of the Terra NoVa brought instead the following brief measure from Scott: “I am remaining in thc Antarctic for another winter in order to con- tinue and complete my work." Apart from the message the latest news sent hark hy Captain Scott to his hase at MeMurtln Sound showed that on January 3 he was still ad- vancing towards the Pole.

Nickel Shipment From Kelso Mine .-\ shipment of nickel ore was sent» out last week from Kelso to Sum? mit. l’enn. 'f‘he shipment averaged a: test of five and a half per vent. 'I'his‘, is the produce of the Kelso Nickoll mines where work has been going on! now for over a year with very en-l eoumging results. The ore comes' from a five foot vein which has now! been followed to a depth of 45 feet. and which will be continued for 100‘ feet where drifting will be commenced ! to test. the extent of the ore body.: With the ï¬rst shipment from thel mine interest, is being reviVed in thei nickel possibilities of this region. The. l owners of the Kelso mine are nssur-i ed now that. they possess a body of nickel ore of good value and of con- siderable size and they intend prose- cuting active operations during the i coming summer. All on board the Terra Nova wore well. Chartered Adds New Machinery Two hundred feet of drifting has heen on the 100 foot leVel, and the plant, is being much increased. Crown Chartered, under the man- agement of C. W. Dike, are sinking tn the 200 foot level. There are now being installed new hoilors, new Rand 7-drill compressor, new hoist and all up-to-dute appli- uncos, together with the latost ma- chinoshop ï¬ttings. The Pearl Lake Co. have now sunk their shaft, to the 400 foot level, and after sinking twenty feet further are going to crosscut the two veins. Pearl Lake at 400 F OOt Le J61 McEnaney Going To 300- Ft. Level The same process is to be repeated at the six, eight, ten and twelve hundred foot levels. Between 3500 and 3600 feet of dia- mond drilling has been done on these orebodies. The shaft will in all probability cut the veins, one at a depth of 950 feet and the other vein at a depth of 1200 feet. Will Develop A. P.
