Sayer -Lead Ores of Mayo Di's
Yukon, Shipped 5,000
ilez to Smelters.
When discussing the estimate's fos, '
the Department of Mines at •,the litst
sesslion ot Parliameat, Hon. Charles
Stewart Stated liii intention to devote
s.pecial oonsideration to the promotion
of "Mineral' development in 'Canada.
For this purpose Dr. Charles, Clanistell,
Deputy Minister of Mines, is now
Europe, surveying the metal markets
and endeavoring to intenelfy the in-
terest of mineral using industries hi
the products of Canradian mine,s,
A further step iii the direction of
enabling mining to be more success-
fully carried on has been taltein in con-
nection with tithe..silver-lead mitsing- dal
the Yukon Territory, especially in the
Mayo field. An Order in Council ex-
empts from payment of royalties the
silver and lead co,nte.at of the ores
shipped from the Yukon Territory for
a period of three, years, or until a,
smelter is ere-oted in, the Yukon. This
will have considerable effect upon 'the
development,' of the Mayo distriot,
which is et), situated as to be, for the -
present at least, well beyond the area,
of reasonable transportation costs.
Long Distance Shipping.
Silveieead ore is being mined in
considea-able quantity at Keno in.
the May ti' district, and owing to the
lack of a smelter in the Yukon,, the
ore bee to be shipped to smelters on
the wesecoaet, a total distance of civet
6,000 miles and at a freighing charge.
Of about $25 per ton for water transportation charges are reported to be
about $100 per ton, whereas, the sell-
ing price of the lead content df the ore,
about 65 per cent., is $55 a ton, thus
inrvolving considerable loss, except for
the value of the silver content recov-
ered in the s,melting, which varies in
quantity.
Extensive developinent work in the -
Mayo district has been cc}iniflnedv7111:
most entirely to the Keno Hill
a
almost directly east of Dawson,. Here
about 700 claime hase been staked and
three companie-s are aggressively op-
erating. The mines are principally at,
5,800 feet above sea level, slight13r
above the altitude of forest growth.
Nearly 3,000 feet of tunnels and open
cuts have been made, and twe.rve veins
have been exposed. The Keno Hill
Company has shipped out 2,150 tons of
are, which assayed 60 per cent. lead
and 196.7 ounces of silver to the tor.„
.A. sawmill is in operation at MagTs
Landing, wibtich supplies the mines
with timber, and at Tantalus Butte, -
on .the 'Yukon river, a coal mine, pro-
ducing about 2,000 dons a season, sup-
plies ,the district.
With -practical recognition of the
need for encouragement of the min-
