The Skating Race.

The ace at the Pavilion last night
for the championship medal, created
considerable excitement in skating
circles and attracted a large number
of spectators. Master Schultz, who
won the medal in the races of last
week. had been challenged by nearly
all the flyers in the city, and
a tournament was arranged for last
night in which the challengers might
have an opportunity to wrest from
him the honors of championship,
but Master Schultz proved himself
possessed of good metal, and again
vanquished all corners, thus retain
ing and becoming the owner of the
much coveted championship medal.
The contestants made the following
time: Schultz, 4.5l; Taylor, 5; Cradle,
$40; Lexington, 5; Ralston, 5.25;
Wright, 1856; Hettinger, sos.

The Bullion mines are reported
looming UP in grand prospects for q
large output this season.
The Back Pay continues to loom
up in encouraging bodies of rich ore.
The first rain of the season fell on
the night of the 25th instant, and
during the day following.
Several hundred tons of ore now
lie on the Elkhorn dump awaiting
good roads for shipment to the Phil
adelphia smelters.
Ketchum is constantly making
new revelations in the extent, variety
and perfection of artistic skill, and
now the boys drop in above Pink

A large number of railroad graders
came up within four miles of Belle
vue yesterday, to complete the por-
ton just below the city: when they
will commence work on the "Y"
and track at the lower end of the
city. The force will be as rapidly in
creased as possible, and in a few days
several hundred men will be en-
ployed around Bellevue.
Active efforts haye already begun
in preparing the Philadelphia smell
tiers for a long run. Thirty men
have been for some time and are at
present employed in cord wood cut
ting, and over 2,0w cords now lie
dumped at the fiuine along Warm
Spring creek and IS being floated
down at the rate Of thirty or forty
cords daily. Ten thousand bushels
of charcoal lie burned in the kilns,
while the ore and fluxing on hand is
sufficient for a run of no short dura-
ton. The mines around about, es-
pecially the Elkhorn, Irwin, West
Fork, Isabella, ETC., have hundreds
of tons on dumps extracted during
the winter, and now only awaiting
good roads for shipment to the
works.

Mining on Snake River.

G. 7. Riley, from Salmon Falls, on
Snake river, has been in town during
the last two 81 three days. MI. Riley
gives quite an Interesting report of
gold digging in that place. The old
est company there is the Justice &
Smith, and the Hunt, which is the
mort extensive on the river. There
r bitches three miles long through
the toughest country ever seen. The
ground is ground-sluiced into sack
sluices. The bed rock is a sort of
pipe clay, which appears to overiay
the lava and other rock. The JUS
tice & Smith are working the ground
formerly owned by MI. Davis, who
was killed at HALEY last year. The
Hunt have about 100 acres of good
land which they are preparing to
work. MIR. Riley says that there are
immense fields Oh rich ground along
the Snake river which are SO high
above the river that it is practically
impossible to ever work them. The
second bench from the river seems
to he about the limit of possibility for
gold mining.-BeNyuc Sun.

Since my last communication wood
has had a boom. Prices are advanc-
ing and everything connected with
the interest is taking on q more

at present detrimental to the wood

entering the Park and engaging
themselves as slayers Of the timber.
From the different superintendent
I learn that there will soon be a de-
mand for wood and furthermore that
those who are welding the axe will
be satisfactorily recompensed for
their labor. w. III. Lockhart has
bought the chutes of NARROW & Co.

On to their full capacity. He has
five heavy teams of his own and is
employing others to get out wood for

Woodville Mining Items.

WOoDvILLE, April 6, 1889.
Editor Miner:
Spring work has fairly commenced
in the mines of this camp.
The Budd extension, owned by D.
D. Budd and John Kelsey, is being
worked extensively. The tunnel is
in $50 feet, and the shaft down $50
feet. They are now drifting upon a
body of pay ore which will mill $50
per ton. The vein is about seven
feet in width, and produces some
specimens which will 60 into the
thousands.
Or the original Major Budd but
little work has been done in the last
six months, but work in the way of
sinking and prosecuting will be re-
sumed shortly.
The mines further down the cam
Won are being thoroughly developed.
McPhrain & Parsons are in about $50
feet and down about IS feet. They
have q force of seven men and are
pushing the work rapidly. The ore
body which the tunnel reaches goes
y oz. per ton.
The ROSA" tunnel, now being
worked by the Montana Copper Co.,
has penetrated nearly 200 feet deep.
This mine is located halfway up
Park Canyon. Work is progressing
with most favorable indications.
This is a "closed" mine and believed
to have developed d rich ore body
recently, but owners and employees
are reticent and no definite informa-
tien is obtainable at present.
The Nettie lode has not been
worked for eight months, but so soon
as the snow disappears the main
shaft will be opened and sunk to a
depth where water will not interfere.
There are many other properties in
this vicinity which only require capt.
tai to develop them into producing
mines, and our people expect, from
the large number of experts who have
recently been in the camp that sew
eral of them will be worked by east
ern capital during the coming season.
