Messrs. Geo. and Roy Clothier have a lease on the property and thus far have devoted themselves to the Nos. 2 and 3 tunnels and to surface work. They will spend the rest of the season in prose- outing development, principally in No. 3 tunnel and getting a good bunch of ore in sight for next season. The boys have come to the conclusion that winter work is out of the question without a long tunnel! from the timber or a long snow shed. The expense in either case is not yet justified. Four carloads have been the output and the class of ore has been profitable to handie. They have had several shoots of ore that were exceptionally rich and on Tuesday they ran into another shoot on the Duchess that will complete the last car and increase the smelter returns materially.— Omineca Herald.
