ADAMS LAKE MINES. nKSCRIPTION OP ONE OH THE MOST HROMISINC) ( OF MINKS IN liRITISlI THH Yale Homestake Gold and Silver Mining Co., Ltd., O'vns seven claims adjoining each other on the north side of Pass Creek, which flows into Adams Lake, and about four miles from its mouth and at an elevation of about 900 feet above the creek. There is a jjood wajjon road to the property from Kamloops, a distance of fifty-six miles. The clain)s beiny; only twenty miles from theC. P. R. track, a little east of Shuswap Station, it is proposed to put a steamer and scows on the Adams Lake, which will reduce the distance by wagon road to ten miles, which, in the near future, may be turned into an elec- tric tramway, there being an abundance of water power on the .\dams River, which has a fall of 175 feet in less than four miles. During the summer months com- munication can be had by steamer upthe NorthThomp- son, thirty- eight miles, to r^ewis Creek, and thence in by wagon road, eighteen miles. Title.—Far four of the claims which have had the most workon, viz., Homestake, Troublesome, Maple Leaf and Argentum, Crown grants have been issued; the other three, Lytton, Eureka and Barita Appli- cation for certificates of improvement and Crown grants will be made during the coming summer. The Camp.—The Pass Creek Valley is from a half-mile to a mile wi'ie, heavily timbered with cedar, birch and fir, with rugged mountains on both sides attaining a height of from 2,000 to 2,500 feet. On the top of the northern range there is an extensive plateau which contains a lake and considerable swamp land. The water from this lake flows down the side of the mountain on the line between the Homestake and Troublesome claitns. This stream will give ample power for all the necessary machinery to run the mine and mill plant. Three hundr
