ENTHUSIASTIC OVER OUTLOOK
Thomna Kirkland, veil known Atlin,
B. C., mining man* who passed thru
Skagway & few days ago on his way
to Vancouver for the winter, ia very
enthusiastic and speaks in the
most glowing terms of the mining
industry, both placer >and quartz,
of the Atlin district.
He says that I "Never since the
discovery of gjld in that section of
the country has the outlook appear
ed, moie promising.
"The Engineer mine has turned
out sow's fabulously rich ore during
the past season and the Kirkland
group of claims are showing identi
cally the same ore as that found
in the Engineer and are rich in
gold-tellurium and free gold. With
a little more development work I
feel assured we shall strike as
high grade ora as is bow being
found in the above mine.
"The Brown group, which adjoins
the KirMand *roup on the Bouth,
is also a good proportion, and the
development work which I have don
so far has disclosed five true fis
sure veins cutting through the
property. Assays of ore taken from
these veins show values running
from $38 to $175 per ton in gold
:«ilver and copper.
"The Lawson group, cn the Big
Horn ri> er, not far from the Engi
neer, • Vch I *nd Fred Lawson and
associates own, is a gold-silver pro
position. With our small test mill
we can tartly stamp out, with the
assistance of two men, from $30 to
|40 i»v.. day. From eight sacks of
ore, which we run through, we got
a return of $o4.70 in gold, and the
tailings showed an assay value of
$22.25 per ton. This gold has a
commercial value of $19 per ounce.
"The Lawson group property is
well known and has already had
enough development work done on
it to warrant the installation of
q>»ite a large rvduction plant. There
is plenty i of good timber handy to
the mine and water power easily
obtainable, sufficient for any uses to
which it may . be put. Facilities for
workinsc the mine and the handling
of ore are excellent, as we have con
structed a good road to the mine
and also have a two thousand foot
tramway In operation."
The Lawson group and the Kirk
Jaad and Engineer mines were giv
en the first award at the Prince Ru
pert, D. C., exposition last fall for
the best gold bearing ores in Nor
thern British Columbia.
