On tho way to the mine wo pass a boulder of float measuring 125 tons, or in othor words, forminga cubomeasuring nearly 10 feet every way, which recently sold on the ground for 1:5,000 in cash. Tho Slocan Star shows an immense wide ledgo with a strong iron cropping. Several thousand dollars' worth of work has been done on it and a depth of over 100 feet attained, showing a continuous vein of oro five feet in width of solid, clean, high grado galena running from 125 ounces in silver upward.
