has been inspecting work ON the proper

that the l0-stamp mill recently installed

According to his description this mine will
soon be one of the biggest dividend payers
in the country. The officials of the COM
pany include Hon. I. Mayne DAILY.
The shipments from Rossland camp for
the first six months of the year total 64,629
tons as against 3S,S77 tons for the same
period of 1898, an increase of 25,752 in
the six months. During the week Just
ended the lie Roi made no shipment on
the Both and LIST. The piston of the COM
pressor which broke some weeks ago and
which was then temporarily mended has
been taken out and replaced by a new
one and this caused the mine to shut down
for two days. No shipments were made
over the Columbia & Western one day
during the week owing to the track being
blocked by an ore train that got off the
track three times on the way from the
mines to the smelter, the new ore cars
and the want of ballast on the track being
responsible for the trouble. Under the cir
cumstances the total of ore shipped for
the week is good. Following is a detailed
list of ore shipments for the week ending
