snowstorm Of yesterday, MIR. Buchanan

Of the rock secured were brought to. the

An Anthony Mine.
II. NJ. Cooper Of Goldendale, an old pros.
peetOr, recently returned from Gel lum
in Kittitas county, where he had been
prospecting and developing an antimony
mine. MIR. Cooper is very enthusiastic
over the results Of work this summer. A
recent assay FROM Chicago shows the test
to run $50 antimOny and $40 gold per
ton. The claim Is known as the Anti
monial, IS so miles from Cle-EAum station
on the Northern Pacific railway and 10
miles southwest of the famous Swank
mines II is also said TO be two miles
south Of the well known Lynch mines, now
bonded for 100000 to u Scottish synsli-
cate, which is successfully developing the

1t Is said there are not many mines Of
Antimony in Ameriea,and the noted mines
Of this metal are in Bohemia and Hun.
gary. 1t is believed that owing to the
great scarcity OF this valuable metal in
this country this is to be Of more value
than an ordinary gold mine.
Some OF the uses Of antimony are in the
Of sweet toned bells, ex.
Pensive eoncaye mirrors, in casting can

Ore Goes to England.
Arthur R. Browne Of London was in
Spokane the first Of the week. He repre-
sents the Smelling Corporation Limited
which operates works on the Manchester
ship canal in England. He has been buy
ing ores in the KOotenays, and concerning
his operations, he said:
The report b true that the smelling
corporation | represent Is buying ore in
kootenay camps. l have purchased 22O
tons OF concentrated from the Highlander
mill at Ainsworth. and snail ship the
same to Vancouver, from thence round
the Horn to England. The value Of these
concentrates will average IS per cent lead
and y ounces silver. This viii be, | be-
ieve, the first shipment made from the
ksotenay of silver-iead concentrates to
an English smelter. We can save for the
mine owner about 50 per ton, over Amen
can smelter charges, and we pay spot
cash for our ore, which Is also u consider
alton You see, We have no large duty to
pay, and besides, by our own process for
extracting the silver from the zinc. we
make another saving, whereas American
shelters are forced to charge higher for
ores containing a percentage Of zinc; in
other words, the galena 0res going to the
states have to pay a high penalty on the
zine"
The PoeahOntas.
The work Of sinking the shaft on the
POcahontas in Republic camp, Is progress
ing favOrSbly. 1t has reached a depth
Of 40 feet There il no change in the
appearance OF the rock and the values
are about the same as they were at 20
ieet- The average Is said to be SIS per
ton As the ledge Is strong feet, Il
shows that the ledge is going to be a
hummer with depth. 1t will be recalled
that the Princess Maud did not show
large values until near the 100 foot level
had been reached. There are the best OF
reasons for the belief that the Pocahouta.
will be equally as rich at the same depth.
The Princess Maud tunnel is making
LARRY good progress, but rs the rock /,
exceedingly hard the progress has been
mower than was anticipated.
