Mr. Brandon brought with him some beautiful samples of free milling ure from McGalloway creek, thirty miles from Lillooet. Along this creek are about two dozen claims, four of Which are being worked, and a stamp mill is in operation. Bridge river, seventy miles from Lillooet, is attracting particular at- tention, by reason of the richness of its properties, but the country is, so difficult of access, that it is al- most. an. impossibility to. get.:ma- chinery in. There is nothing but a trail, and this is over a 5,000 foot climb. One company did succeed in getting a mill over for the Ben D’Or claim, and the clean-up for this season has amounted to $50,- ooo. On several claims the old Primitive arrastre is still in use for crushing; after which the “pan is used, . Even with this method, Mr: Brandon says, one claim is yielding $100 daily, and it is possible to put through two tons a‘day. °’Efforts| aré being made to interest capital in this section.
