That another important mining e conviction of "Mort" Teare. who, for the past six weeks, has been prospecting In that section in the interests of the Atlas Exploration Company of Montreal. The find made by Teare and his asso- clat John uanchard and Ludwlg , . o .i.. - 5 j. Smaaslet, consists of a strong ledge carrying copper ore. They had not the time or equipment to accomplish much in the way of'ooenlng the ledge, but they traced it for 7000 feet, ami at no point did it appear to nave a widtn or less man twenty-five feet, and in several places the width exceeded fifty feet. The vein matter is a nlcelooklng heavily mineralized copper ore, which will probably carry gold and sther as well as copper values, but as yet no assays have been secured. In all, eleven claims were staked, and if the assays disclose the expected values another mining dis trict oi first importance will be added to the Finlay River section.. This latest find Is located about twenty-five miles up Wedge Creek. which empties into the Finlay some seventy miles above Fort Grahamc. and at an altitude of 4400 feet Teare elected to prospect upon the east side of the Finlay partly for tne reason mat uie country on me west side of the river is receiving the attention of a numerous body of prospectors, and parUy because of tho finding of float along Wedge Creek by Smaaslet while engaged In trapping. The property is not so accessible by airplane as most of the other recent discoveries tn the qorth A plane could doubtless operate as far as the. mouth of wedge Creek, but after this there will remain twenty-five miles of rather difficult going, but if the values arc found in the ore this will be readily overcome The Atlas Exploration Company has been operating in this district for the past year, in the course of which time it has acquired exten sive Iron claims on the Cameron River, and is believed to have made extensive locations in Aiken Lake district at the headwaters of the Mealllnka River.
