MINES AND MINING.
SPOKANE FALLS ~ NORTHERN
ROAD COMPLETED TO RossLAND.
Judge Reid, OF Tacoma, Pays $4,000
Ffor the Hall Mines In Trail Creek
"A >meiter May soon ne erected
at Northport-Tesfins the Cyanide
Process.

The first through train from Spokane 10
Rossland arrived December Il over the
Spokane Falls * Northern and the Red
Mountain railway. The lons-looked-for
and aounc2nt!y promised convenience mas
a. last been substantially completed, says
the Rossiand Record. There yet remains
some Work 10 DE done before the read IS
completed 10 the terminal point, al which
a depot Is 10 De constructeG.
Aside from the convenience thus added
TO the passenger traffic, the Red Mountain
railway Is hot viewed with much appre-
citation By the mine owners
The land grant gwen the road by the
government has given the road al least
presumptive right over great deal Of the
territory from which the mines have been
securing their fGe. at moderate rates.
The Red Mountain road, along which
are thousands OF cords OF wood ready for
shipment from lands owned by the Spo-
kane Falls & Northern and the Red
Mountain Company. declines TO lay down
here fuel al q price equal 10 that which
the mine operators paid heretofore. Then
the land now claimed by the company
in the vicinity OF Rossland which former
~ supplied fuel 10 the mines al reason
able rates, is so managed that the mines
must now pay nearly twice as much as
formerly
The policy of the government granting
AID in money and lands To railroad COM
panies is proven by actual experience not
TO be in the interests OF those who have
devoted their labor and money to making
the Trail Creek district one OF the most
famous districts in the world.
The Red Mountain railway is immedi-
ately at work cinchlng the mines.

of dumping all the spare lumber he could
pick up onto the weak spots of the Grant

At meeting OF the board yesterday

TO HAVE A SHELTER.

and as soon as possible The work of con-

The names mentioned as among the
.ncO~porators are: John A. Finch. Pat

dit,on 10 this. It is said that Mr. Corbn
VII donate one-half OF the Northport
townsite to the enterprise. The plant IS
to be capable of treating go tons OF ore
daily.
The principals IN the enterprise decline
to discuss the matter at present. That
there have been several meetings TO dis
cuss the project, at which a number OF
gentlemen have been present. IS true. but
50 far as can be learned the matter has
not taken definite shape. nor have the
details been arranged.
Mr.. Finch says there have been several
meetings IN which the smelter project
has been discussed. and should It finally
be decided TO build smelter Il Will un-
doubtedly be erected at Northport, az be-
ing convenient 10 the Rossland mines
and a desirable point for SLOGAN ores.
Patrick Clark says substantially the
same. only there are a number of mat
ters TO be discussed before definite pans
can be arranged.
r. H. Wedek nd said: The rumor, so
far as the freight and treatment charges
are concerned. Is entirely untrue, the ne
go,Iations not having gone so far as that.
AS to the capacity Of the smelter. the
statements made are entirely without
foundation. II - probable that articles
of incorporation for the Union Smelling
and Refining Company Will be filed N a
few days. AS Mr.. Clark has said, there
are a number OF things TO be cons dered
before the smelter project can be launched
on the public"
Mr.. Weekend says there are reasons
why snaeter cannot be profitabiy oper-
ated ia Spokane but eves with smelter
at Northport the advantages 10 Spokane
can scarcely be measured

Report Of Interstate Commerce.

The interstate commerce commission
has just issued a preliminary report on the
income and expenditure o the railways
in the United STATES Tor the year ended
June 30 1855 prepared By Us Etatlatlcisali
From the interest and Importance that are
attached 20 railway statistics. the report
says congress should no longer fail TO
provide adequate means Ok securing
prompt returns from carriers. which are
now delayed beyond the legal limit. The
statement submitted presents the chief
items Of an income account By ten terri
t0Fsai groups for 50 roads. representing
aB operated mileage OF III 20 niles cf

mileage operated in the United States.

an Increase Of sii2 as compared with the
previous year. The earnings OF the freight
service show an increase over last year
81 $50 per mile OF line. The gross earn
inRr per mile OF line were $3.50 for 1896,
and the operating expenses 81 $50. leaving
a net Income per mile o. line Of s2.l29

years 1885 and 1855. and compares fairy

CHILD IN A BOX.
Neatly Covered up and Sent to Ger
tain Gentleman in 0CaIa.
NO SIGN OF LIFE.

Yesterday afternoon a young
man in Ocala was quietly reading
the Evening Star, when a dray-
an brc ught in a small box with
the aforesaid young man's name
on the outside.
On opening the box most hor-
rible sight presented itself-tbe
body of a very young infant, COW
cred with some loose pieces Of
cloth.
A strong scent Of cologne came
from the box, which was evidently
intended to disguise the odor Of
the decomposiDg body.
The your 6 man. being Strictly
moral young person, could not
imagine any reason for such 2
thing being sent TO him. His ex,
clama:iCn ofsurPrise brought IN q
number OK employees Of the cffice
where Re is engaged, who proceed,
ed to examine the strange pack
age.
On piece of paper. packed in
the cloths which surrounded ths
body, was found the 70 lowing
inscription: L am for Bryan anc
silver; I6 to for NE. Amt you?
Carefully and tendeily The
young mans friends lifted the sac
burden 10 the window. In the
light of the sun the trle nature oi
the object presented itse;f. The
body was ski.fully carved out Of
toilet soap.
The young mans fellow-em
p'oyees say that those cigers are
among the best they ever smoked
