Bess" consists of numerous open cuts and prospect holes upon boti velus, ex- posing la almosi cvery case as good quality of ore, and similur lu every respect to that show ýn on the "Hll Top"' and "Mai flowvcr." 'l'Le principal developmnent womk is near the centre of tlic daim on the south ledge, bcing an open eut twentýy (20 fet long and nine (9) feet wide, with a shaf t lu this cut eleven (11) fecet lu depth. making a total of txvcnty (20) foot fromn the original surface. The bottom of tbe shaft exposes excecdingly good minerai, a sample of whici assuyed, $26.00 in gold and sili er to the ton. The peculiar feature of the dlaimas upon tis Lake Mountain is thut the grade of ore, at practicall tbe surface, is vcry mucli higlier in value thun upon uuy ipart of the btter known lRed Mountain ln the samne district. Ti-e great development work on the "Mayflo-%er" and ulso upon the "Hlli Top" proves that the ore rapid- 1 - ncreases in valuie withi depth of deveiopment. It is only reusonable to suppose that ice resuits will foliow upon thc ýj-tleBes" ad ,"4sel." FORMATION. '19e lorrnatio-a is diorite with un occusionai appeamance of syenitc. Tho striko of the ledges is oastcriy and westeriy. The "Little Bes,' located as it is ou the south side of the mýountain, permits of its bcing worked to great dopth by tunnels, thus dl awa ' with thc uoccssury cost of pumps and hoisting uppratus; the surface is covered witi pîne, tIr aud cedar, thum raakng the cost for timhering very liglit. Tiero is ample water for ail minîng purposos close'ut hand. TRANSPORTATION. The Coiniabian and Western R. R1. pusses within 1,500 feet of this property, allowing the ore to lie trummed !im- mediutely frose the mnouth ofthte tunnel to the cars. This one featuro is of immense advantage, as it does awuy with thue expense of bilding w agon ouds and wagon transportation. What with the "Mayflower" on the west siope and the "Cmown Point" ou the north eust siopo of Lake Mountain, it requires -work on1Y upon the iutervening dlaims to give it a lRed Mountain eputation.
