 Klondike has a rival. It is far away Siberia. Russell E. Dunn, 3 mining engineer, has just returned to San Francisco from Siberia, and declares that the mineral wealth at the head waters of the Amur river IS very large. He developed some min ing properties for a French syndi- cate in the mountains from which flow four streams that feed the Amur. Near that placer miners were taking out fortunes that make the Klondike seem poor. Out of one gulch not over two miles long, coarse gold and nuggets amounting to $l0,000,000 were taken. The coun- try is no place for prospectors, how ever, as only company can get con- cession. All placer mines are worked by the government.
 An item appeared in the Phenix Gazette recently to the effect that the Congress company contemplated the closing down of their cyanide plant, on account of its being un- renunerative. The item has also been copied ID several of the terri torial papers. It has no foundation whatever in fact, and originated solely in the imagination of the man who wrote that item. President E. B. Gage, of the Congress company, was asked in regard to the item and stated that it was news to him. as we'll as to every one connected with the company. While not wishing to advertise the business of the com pany, and not giving the informa- ton for publication, Mir. Gage showed the JoURNAL-MINER the rec ord of the cyanide plant for the month of October, which, he stated, was a fair sample of the average returns from it, and which, he also stated, showed for itself. He says the plant is giving excellent satisfac- tion, and the returns, as above, were certainly corroborative of the asser- tion. Both as to the gross product and the profit there are many miuing enterprises which would be satisfied with an equal showing from their whole plant, while this represents only returns from the tailings.
 R. H. Row and P. Ronald, two very energetic and successful miners have taken 8 years bond and lease on the Little Dandy mine out in the | HAssayampa district just this side l of the Senator, and will commence work developing the claim right | away. There is 8 shaft down now | fifty five feet and the vein has been prospected on the surface and shows up well. If there Is anything in the | mine Messrs. Row and Ronald will | surely find it, as they know no such l word as fail. It was they who opened the rich ore bodies in the Monte Cristo mine while working U under lease. They took 6 twelve months lease on the property when it was not showing up anything particularly fascinating. For seven 1 months they toiled unremittiDgly without striking anything of any special value. After working for the above period they struck the rich ore body and for tho remaining five months of the life of their lease | they not only made excellent wages but were amply repaid for their seven mnoths of comparatively fruit ! less toll and succeeded in openiug up a property which is very valuable l to its owners. Not only did they i realize handsomely on their years ! work but they added thousands of dollars to the value of the mine by the big bodies of rich ore which ! they opened up. They start work l on this new property with greater encouragement from the start and it is hoped that they may meet with ! even greater success than in their Monte Cristo deal.
