Mr. W. J. Smart,M. E., who is spoken of as a ‘‘gentleman of, great experience in gold. mining in Galifornia}” has madé a report oa the property, in which hé says: ‘‘The result-of our prospeetiig on the bed rock in thé bed of the river was from 5 cents to $1.50 td the pan of 25 Ibs. of gravel, whith should ‘pay. very largely economically and advantageously worked. ‘The bahks of the ‘river’ also prospected well, The main lead being exposed at two different points, oe at the upper eastern boundary, and the other at a distance ofabout three-quarters of «a hile below*on the same side of the river, with indications of its cross= img to the opposite bank of the river at a point below on the property. “The depth of gravel in. this lead will range from 30 to 50 feet, the exact depth being impossible to determine without drifting on the bed rock'to its lowest point ; our pros— pecting of this lead. yielded from 1 to 20 cents to the pan of 28 Ibs. of gravel which.would pay you well to sluiceand largely tohydraulic, which I would recommend as the best way to work it. There-is abundant water in the river for all purposes, and suffor all work’ by either method. ‘The. natural advantages are very favorable. You have good timber in abundance in the immediate vicinity, a railroad within 20 tniles of the property. The price of a good class of labor at this point is frcm 80 cents to $1 per day. “There-are two small streams:running into the Du Loup river on the property that I understand from the people here have yielded well, but I did not prospect them to any extent.” Twe seasons have beet devoted to the explorationand opening up of these deposits, and Mr. A. A. Hum= phrey, who has conducted this work, estimates that there aré 30,000,060 cubic yards of gravelin sight, carry— ing gold at the rate of 30 cents” per cubic yard, equal to 9,000,000. The cost of washing this gravel will be two and one-half eents per yard, equal to $750,000—leaving a net profit of $3,250,000, or £1,650,000, from this part of the property: alone. In the report.on this property by Mr. Smart, it is stated that they have got 5,000 inches of water, and the prospectus says: ‘‘A head of 150 feet can be obtained for one-twentieth the cost for the same amount of power in California,” ; It seeins the assogiation is to pay £80,000 fully paid up shares, and £15,000 in cash for the property.

Mr. W. J. Smart,M. E., who is spoken of as a ‘‘gentleman of, great experience in gold. mining in Galifornia}” has madé a report oa the property, in which hé says: ‘‘The result-of our prospeetiig on the bed rock in thé bed of the river was from 5 cents to $1.50 td the pan of 25 Ibs. of gravel, whith should ‘pay. very largely economically and advantageously worked. ‘The bahks of the ‘river’ also prospected well, The main lead being exposed at two different points, oe at the upper eastern boundary, and the other at a distance ofabout three-quarters of «a hile below*on the same side of the river, with indications of its cross= img to the opposite bank of the river at a point below on the property. “The depth of gravel in. this lead will range from 30 to 50 feet, the exact depth being impossible to determine without drifting on the bed rock'to its lowest point ; our pros— pecting of this lead. yielded from 1 to 20 cents to the pan of 28 Ibs. of gravel which.would pay you well to sluiceand largely tohydraulic, which I would recommend as the best way to work it. There-is abundant water in the river for all purposes, and suffor all work’ by either method. ‘The. natural advantages are very favorable. You have good timber in abundance in the immediate vicinity, a railroad within 20 tniles of the property. The price of a good class of labor at this point is frcm 80 cents to $1 per day. “There-are two small streams:running into the Du Loup river on the property that I understand from the people here have yielded well, but I did not prospect them to any extent.” Twe seasons have beet devoted to the explorationand opening up of these deposits, and Mr. A.

The cost of washing this gravel will be two and one-half eents per yard, equal to $750,000—leaving a net profit of $3,250,000, or £1,650,000, from this part of the property: alone. In the report.on this property by Mr. Smart, it is stated that they have got 5,000 inches of water, and the prospectus says: ‘‘A head of 150 feet can be obtained for one-twentieth the cost for the same amount of power in California,” ; It seeins the assogiation is to pay £80,000 fully paid up shares, and £15,000 in cash for the property.
