In fact. the cost of min- ing in this region is a. mere fraction of what it is in Rossland. Here mines like the Ibex pay frdm the grass roots, and heroin lies the reason why the Sloan} has not been as widely adver- tisedas Trail Creek. Mining operations being inexpensive, comparatively small capital is required [to develop the properties. and therefore owners have not found it necessary to throw! large blocks of stock on the eastern market or to extensively advertise their properties in any way, a "No, a false impression as to “this appears to hold in] the east. There are hundreds of prospectors and mining men with lots of capital already in the Slocan, and it is now becoming difficult to pick up good valuable prospects within easy distance of any mining centre or with anything like good ship- ping facilities.“ “No,” he replied, "'Dhre annual reâ€" port of the Minlnter of Mines for Brit- ish- Columbin, showed that at the end of 1896 there were 47 shipping mines in the Slocam and since then nearly a. dozen; have been added. bringing the total number of shippers up to nearly five dozenJ."
