STA to the ton, making about $4,000 and
the product OF the mill was $4,000. The
shipments were limited only by the num-
Der of available teams. The haul of 81
miles from Republic up in TO British Co
llmbla and then down to Marcus to reach
the railroad is a long one and it is not
easy to find means of getting ore from
camp to car. With better facilities for
shipping the product would be largely in
creased
The mill will work high grade ore this
month. The bullion from the mill is
running weight for weight in silver and
gold.
The Republic will probably begin pay
ing dividends about October l. Recent
shipments have practically cleared off all
the Indebtedness of the company, paid for
all the development work done on the
mine and for the mill and the property
has now entered upon the work of paying
dividends. 1t is planned to pay $4,000
per month and if nothing unforeseen arts
es these payments will be made with
great regularity, yielding to the stock
holders 100000 per year or 60 per cent Oh
the capital stock. A little more than a
year ago Republic stock was sold at 10
cents per share. There is practically none
upon the market at any price today
Armstrong Goes to Omaha.
L. X. Armstrong left last week for
Omaha to take charge of the exhibit Of
Washington ores in the mining building
at the international exposition. The ore
shipment was made Monday. 1t was
full carload and when Mr.. Armstrong be-
gan to collect all his cases and get them
in the car he found that it would have
been difficult to have carried a more COM
prehensiye exhibit without taking two
cars. He is satisfied that he will be able
to make a showing of Washington ores
that will astonish mining men who have
not investigated the wealth of the young
est of the mining states. Mr.. Armstrong
will stop in Minnesota and visit relatives
at his former home. He expects to remain
in charge of the exhibit until the expo
sition closes, being on hand every day to
answer the questions of the many who
will see the display.
Cariboo District StiH Rich.
A dispatch from Ashcroft, B. c., says:
Cariboo, which yielded its millions 40
years ago, is still rich. There were $73,-
700 in gold brought down from Cariboo by
stage to Ashcroft. OF this sum $4,000
was from the last washup at the Cariboo
hydraulic mine, and is several thousand
dollars better than anticipated. 1t is ex-
pected that much better results will be
obtained at the next washup. The bal
ance was from scattered propositions
throughout Northern Cariboo. Great re-
suits are looked for when the Horse Fly
makes its washup, as heavier nuggets
than ever before have been discovered,
and the belief is that the yield this year
will in every way prove satisfactory.
