was in the city this week. He re

being surveyed with the view of
patenting, and the wagon road
route from the property toCbampion
basin has also been surveyed. Gill
Meadow has been employed to
build a trail along this route in
order that the company can get in
its needed supplies at a consider
ably reduced rate from the former
method. Mr. Meadow is already
on the ground and will commence
the work immediately. It is un
derstood that as soon as the trail is
opened to admit of packing, work
will be commenced to widen it
into a wagon road.
Mr. Lloyd has let a contract for
50 feet extension of tunnel on the
