The discovery of immcnte coal de

13 miles from the mouth of the Grand

it is said, is anxiously investigating

taken to Whatcom by II. G. Anderson,
who arrived fiom Bed Mountain, via
Chilliwack and Vancouver, B. C. Mr.
Audeivoii was ono of tho discoverers of
tho Auderson-Schrimsher gold ledgo on
Bed mountain. In the Blade ho says
the prospects of the leading ledges in
that district uie most encouraging, and
owners aro pushing dovelopmont work
?-'' work on tne rost-Liamnert
ledges has been suspended for a few
days, awaiting the arrival of engiues
aud fans with which to drive away the
sinoko which arises from constant blast
ing iu the tunnel. All minora who
havo vi.'ited the property say that it is
very rich.
The Gold Basin ledge on Rod moun
tain, iu which Charles D. Lano, of San
Francisco, and J. O. Carlisle are inter
ested, is said to be a veritablo bonanza
to tne owners. Mr. Anderson met Mr.
Carlisle at Chilliwack and that gentle
man told liiui that assays made from
ore taken from the Gold Basin ledge
ruu as high as $30,000 per ton. The
gold can be seen with tho naked eye
and stands out in beads on the quartz.
It is similar to the quaitz found in the
Lone Jack ledge, owned by English &
Sou.
It appears that the location of tho
international boundary line is in ques
tion, aud fears are entertained that
lied mountain and other mountains in
that viciuity may possibly be in Brit
ish Columbia. According to field notes
of Provincial Surveyor Dean, the line
is supposed to cross at Box canyon at
the coullueuce of East and West Silicia
creeks. O'vneis of claims at Bed
mountain have taken out mining
licenses in British Columbia and are
also making filings at New Westmin
ster iu order to hold their claims in
case they find that their claims lie iu
British Columbia.
The Bed Mountain Gold Mining
Company has u large force of men nt
work driving a tunuel in to tap its
ledges. Cabins are being built for
wiuter quarters.
