P; about midway in the Bulkley Valley, and is also about two miles from the main Govern- ment wagon road, The ore, a copper sulphide, is plainly visible along the lead, and shows in stringers from an inch to ten inches in thiekness all along through the vein, which varies from two to ten feet in width, Indications point to this sul- phide ore carrying enough gold to make the property worth ‘a considerable bit of development work, considering its nearness to transportation, — Smithers Tri- bune New G, T.
