STEWART GOLD FIND
OFFICIAL REPORT. ISSUED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrishl (Rec. August 18, 10.30 p.m.) London, August 18. . Lord Strathcona, High Commissioner for Canada, has published an official report on the recent gold discovery at Stewart, British Columbia.
The report is by Mr. R. M'Connell, a Government surveyor, who states that the prospectors' assays .run from three to eight dollars of gold per ton.
Vein matter is abundant, but it is doubtful if it can be extracted at a profit. The ore, however, is sufficiently promising to justify some exploration. Much of the mountain can only, be prospected by. balloon. The transportation difficulties, however, are surmountable if'the deposits prove valuable.
The find, it is said, does not justify a wild rush to the rugged Alpine country around • Stewart, which is dangerous to inexperienced men.
