New York, July 4.--Henry Clews re- ports : Six menths of the year have closed, showing a degree of recovery from the October panic which surpass os reasonable expectations. It has been painful convalescence, but pronounced and substantial, and if sustained six months more will go far toward ob- literating the effects of last year's dis- asters. There are unsatisfactory' fea- tures still remaining; trade and indus try are restricted; contraction has been unduly severe im soine directions; and. very--imadequate in others. Con- sequently the evening-up proccss must still go on. On the other hand, im- portant dinger points have heen, safe- ly passed; a political crisis has teen averted; public opinion is more sane toward corporations, and all indica- tlons point to the eléction of Taft as president. Business failures have heen much less serious than feared, and the credit situation "shows vast im- provement over a year ago. Financial institutions which fell under the strain of the panic have mostly resumed, and our banks are as a rule now exetep- tionally strong. But just neglected, now the magi !, though is under cohflicting condi- tions.

The chief owners of the Chaimbers-Ferland 'were two con- tractors who had ample undertakings in their own lnk to keep them busy and who, thérefore, sat down and waited until the process of time dis- posed of the ¢laims. "The matter was finally adjusted last year in the game manner as the O Brien dispute was disposed of. . Complete title was se- nd by giving 'the Ontario govern- ment a royalty of 25 per cent." on the net smelter . returns, with deduc- tions for all expenses after the ore had reached the top of the shaft. The value of the Chambers-Ferland property is found in the numerous well defied veins which run through it from the U'Brien to the Nipissing from the LaRose to the Right-of-Way and from other properties. In all human probability these veins whose richness has been proved on either side, must carry values in their Chambers-Fer- land section. The capital is $2,500,000, of which $300,000 is preserved in. the treasury, leaving $2,200,000, The price at which the $1 shares are offered through. brok- ers only and not as a public flota- tion 75c., making the priee to the public $1,650,000. The record of ship- ments from the same veins disclosed in four adjoining properties is such as to appeal to the individual who is inter- ested in the great possibilities which productive mining properties yield.

DEVELOPMENT © Fourteen separate and distinct veins have been diseover- ed and properly located so far on the property. Nine of these veins parallel each other on the flat ground lying between the LaRose and Nipissing mines, and will be developed and min- ed Jfrom one shaft which 1s now being sunk on vein No. 4. Fach of these veins will be cross-cut from the + 100- Mt. level of the shaft now being sunk on Vein No. 4. Each and every ong of thest nine weins is trenched and traced from the LaRose mine through the Chambers-Ferlandl ground , and into the Nipissing, thus showing con- tinuity of the veins on the surface, and the fissuring is identical to the LaRose and Nipissing veins. Ore comes to the surface in every® vein, and values are from 49 ounces ' to over 2,000 ounges in silver. No. 10 is the continuation of the LaRose main vein, wich passes to the Right- of-Way mining property on its gouth- erly course. This vein traced through the Chambers-Ferland pro- perty and into the Nippissing ground. No. 114s a continuation of Nipissing No. 60 vein. 'This vein shows native silver on the surface and is proving a bonanza with development - on Nipis- sing, ground at the boundary line of the two properties. No 12 lies a little to the south of No 11 vein and has a very, strong fracture or fissuring. No. 13 lies at the point where the O'Brien, Nipissing "and Chambers-Ferland properties join. Na- tive silver is found in the outcrop of this vein, which and , well is 18. strong defined. No. 14 is a continuation of TRETHEWEY NIPISSING CONIARGAS NIPISSING the O Briem main vein running through a portion of the Lnambers-Ferland pro- perty into the LaRose mine, A shalt is being sunk midway be- tween the LaRose and O'Brien mines, by contract, antl is now down 60 feet on the vein with rich ore the whole way down, An average assay of this ore gave 5,160 ounces of silver.
