Lade Brothers Return from Lardeau Gold Field
Vincent and Jim Lade return from the Lardeau where summer work on their Lade group focused on a cross cut tunnel to cut the lead at 72 feet. A specimen with abundant free gold was sent to the Spokane Fruit Fair and shown in the mineral exhibit. The season brought significant improvements and more opening up of prospects, though claim relocation is a drawback, with a staker holding 75 claims making annual assessments impractical.
