The Cnur I'Alenes.

At the Grouse Supt. Mclean has a large
force of men at work in the tunnels, and in
the lower tunnel, which is to be the main or
working tunnel, two Burleigh drills are at
work. The drills we're only recently started
up. and are working admirably. In this
tunnel nearly fifty feet is run each week.
The tunnel is now in a distance of 400 feet.
The largest tunnel contract ever awarded
in the Occur d'Alenes has just been given
by the owners of the Last Chance mine
at Wardner, to Mr.. W. F. Martin, a we'll
known Occur d'Alenes miner. The contract
is for running nearly 5000 feet. Mr.. Mar
tin will put in the neighborhooi If twenty
mon at work on the first o. May. He has
had many contracts for tunnel work in the
northwest. and is a rustler from away back.
About $4,000 in concentrates have been
shipped fIom the Gold Hunter within the
week. The Portland smelter has a con-
tract with this mine for it's output for the
coming year..

The Lone Star mine, in Okanogan coun-

west and the porphyrv over a half a mile
eastwardly. Along the contact at various
places there are scattered many pieces of
to that of a barrel. On the Hudson
ground a blow out, or chimney of galana
and carbonate ore was discovered and a
cross-cut run to determine its width. The
lead was then stripped for about twenty
fest and several pieces of ore taken out.
At the upper end of the open cut a shaft
was commenced and sunk about fourteen
feet, all the way in lead matter. Some good
specimens of hard and soft carbonate, n
some of chloride were taken out. while in
one side of the shaft the wall is nearly oil
iron ore. Near the bottom of the shaft this
depth will probably turn into carbonate
ore. This prospect has good surface show
ings and with some development will prob
ably prove to be an ore producer.
The Belleview ia on the same contact and
shows plenty of float, but only enough work
has been one to make the location good.
The Broncho has ms fine surface showing
as any claim in the Belt mountains. What
work has been tone has exposed a wien of
hematite iron over fourteen feet thick for
a distance of about twenty feet. In prose-
cutting the exploration about twenty tons of
ore nave been taken out and there are at
least lotions in sight. Assays of this iron
give a good return of both silver and gold.
A we'll timbered tunnel has been run in
about fourteen feet below the lead. When
extended ten feet further this will tap the
lead at a depth of thirty feet, when the
true width can be determined.

Big Deals in Mining Property.

One of the most comprehensive mining
schemes ever formed in America is now IN
der way. It is in the direction of the pur-
chase of mining properties in districts all
the way from Mexico to Canada. Papers
have recently been signed closing up one
portion of the scheme. The silver mines
known as the Badger, the Porcupine and
the West End. located forty miles from
Port Arthur, Ontario, have passed from the
hands of the parties who have controlled
them since their development. This single
SAFE aggregates an amount approXlmatinp
So 600. The nominal purchaser of
these properties is Herbert NJ. Nichols, of
Denver. Col; but back of him is a syndicate
of English and American capitalists, seven
Engllslmen and five Americans, who are
the real purchasers. These purchasers
will organize, under the laws of Ontario, a
company that will assume ownership of the
property. ms plan of organizing under
the Canadian laws Is something new in
English syndicate operations. The advan-
tages to be gained are that the laws are
much more liberal than those in the United
States. and do not subject the compan to
tax exactions as do the English laws. Com
panies organized under the "ioint stock
companies act" of England, for instance,
have to pay at the outset a registration tax
amounting to one-tenth of one per cent. of
the total authorized capital stock. and the
income tax is u constant burden. While
this new company will be organized under
the laws of Ontario, it's chief officers and
principal offices will be in London. These
three mines that the syndicate have pur-
chased produce one-half the silver taken
from the district in the vicinity of Port Ar
thur. The Badger mine has made a great
output of silver for four or five years. and
was considered the richest in the group, but
within the last six months there have been
remarkable developments in the Porcupine
mine. The report of the English examin-
ing engineer showed in the Badger mine
alone over $2.NO.OO of ore in sight. The
operations Of this syndicate are the direct
result OF the silver legislation in the United
States. When the silver bill went into
effect last August with the purchase of 400
GOO ounces OF silver a month, the English
men Immediately turned thsir attention to

taken from the mountains, from the fact
that the shaft was very nicely Jagged, COW
ering up all evidences of what had been
found. But, as sometimes occurs, one of
the workmen gave the snap ava recently
and told they had out q vein at a depth of
ninety feet that was very rich. The man

Agent Veazie to Retire.

Freight and Passenger Agent Veazie, of
the Union Pacific, received notice yesterday
that May ! he would be succeeded by Henry
O. Wilson as Helena agent of the company.
This was the first intimation Mr.. Veazie
had of a change in the Office, as there had
been no complaints of any kind. to his
knowledge, concerning his management of
affairs for the company in Helena. Az to
his successor, Mr.. Veazie says he knows
him quite we'll, that he is an excellent rail
road man and a thorough gentleman. whom
the people of Helena will u%ndoubted learn
to esteem. Mr.. Wilson, at the time of his
appointment, wal chief clerk of the freight
department of the Rio Grande Western,
at Salt Lake, and previous to that, chief
clerk in the Union Pacific office at Butte.
AS to his future movements, Mr.. Veazie
has three or four opportunities. but Just
what he will do he has not decided, and
will not till his successor is installed. For
eight years Mr.. Veazie has been in the en-
ploy of the Union Pacific in Helena, four
wears as cashier, and the last four as agent,
During that time, through his uniform
courtesy and strict attention to business he
has won the good will of the entire business
community, and no man in the CITY has
more friends. While Mr.. Wilson will be
kindly received, general regret was OK
pressed yesterday that Agent Veazie was
going out of the Office he had occupied for
SO MANY years.

Cat in Wool Rates.

sensational cut in wool rates. Just how
deep the cut is has not been learned. Com
petitors have learned of one consignment
which could not have taken a higher rate
than Is cents a hundred from the Missouri
river to Boston, and another taking thes
same rate to Philadelphia. In any rate the

silver ores to the value of $120,Oc0 were
shipped to smslters. Taking the value of
the ore as shownb by these figures, which are
fully confirmed by an exhaustive sampling
of the mine, and taking the percentage of
savings in the mill, and expenses as shown
by the books, there appears an annual profit
OF $330,O0O, but by means of improvement
and economies now being introduced this
income should be raised to $440,0 600 with the
present mill capacity.
The company has set aside $3.50. 900 as
working capital. Although the present pro-
posed expenditure will not be heavy, the
development of the mine, it is expected,
will Justify in the near future the erection
of much larger reduction works than are
now proposed. The capital stock of the

over $4,000 in actual cash was paid by the
