D. Hurley who recently re turned from the Lorne Mine says that the boys are doing excellent work on the new tunnel Noland are in 140 feet. The object of this tunnel is to tap the rich vein at a depth of nearly 300 feet, and enhance the value of the property by making a showing of the character, depth and value of the vein. Dan has some fine specimens of gold quartz which he brought down on his last trip. The company intends to go ex tensively into development work this coming summer, and also will run the five stamp mill night and day. It is encouraging to note that a good big figure over expenses was made last year, in spite of the extra work that was done on the outside in the shape of a vessel tram-line down to the mill, new bunkhouses and cabins, and office, which are built close to the main trail on the old Woodchuck site. It is hoped that the coming summer will bring the wagon road up Bridge river a little closer to the mines of Cadwallader creek so that freight can be handled much cheaper and travelling made more comfortable. The group of claims known as the Golden Nickle Mt. Groupe, situated between two branches of Tyaughton creek on a high ridge with good drainage, excellent fa cilities for depth by tunnel sites, good water power and fine min ing timber local to the group. There are five claims in the in the group consisting of the Nickle Plate, Teddy Bear, Golden Chance and the Lothorp. They are owned repectively by Messrs. Grat White, Edward Holt, G. D. Bell, J. S. Bell and D. McLeod. The assays in gold on this de posit goes as high as $14.80. The ore is similar to that of the Hed ley camp in the Similakanun, and is expected to be one of the most enticing mining pro positions for the mining men who are expected in this coming season. The property was dis covered by Bell and White last August and after prospecting and testing was recorded on the 1st of September, 1910.
