Coming through the Burnt Basin coun-
try the railway opens many lodges and
cut after cut is filled with first-class ore.
Between Grand Forks and Eholt there are
a dozen places where the road Is graded
through good ore bodies, the rock from
which was used as ballast as notably the
Calcifer, where a thirty-foot ledge was
cut. the Acorn, Jennie May and other
claims.
Then ON the Emma, the Orc Dinero and
other Summit camp claims big lodges
were opened up, in some cases over 100
feet wide, the material being used to
grade the road bed.
In Greenwood and Wellington camps the
same thing is again seen, the road being
ballasted with high grade copper ore from
the same thing on the Hartford, Golden
Crown and Winnipeg.
The most wonderful showing Of all Is
found at Phoenix, where for over 700 feet
the railway spur is graded across a solid
body Of mineral on the Old 1ronsides
claim.
Much of the ore used in this ballasting
would pay rich pront over the cost OF
shipment and treatment. while NEARLY all

CONDITION OF THE KNOB HILL.
Ready to ship Daily Five Hundred
Tons Of Workable Ore.

Jay p. Graves manager of the Knob
HILL Old Ironsides and associated mines
at Phoenix, announces that. the develop
ments on these properties have been SO
satisfactory recently that he will order q
new forty-drill compressor plant to be liz
by next July. There Is already a, ten
drill duplex Rand compressor at the. Iron
sides, but this has now become made
quate for the service demanded of it.
When the new compressor is in the
mines will have the use of fifty machine
drills, which Is greater number than
Is operated by any one concern in British
Columbia If not in the Dominion of Cana
da, though the LIE Roi plant at Ross
land will exceed it when it is completed.
The lie Roi compressor now in use has
forty drills capacity.
The Knob Hill could easily produce on
short notice 500 tons of workable ore per
day, so that this mine alone would be
able to keep the CRANKY smelter going,
unless the capacity of the latter Is en-
larged. The railroad spur IN to the
Knob Hill dump has been graded. and
where 1t circled around the little ridge
that comes down from the Knob Hill to
the Ironsides cut from five to fifteen
feet deep had to be made, and for 700 feet
this is in ore. 1t is believed to be the
largest exposure of ore yet made by
railroad cut in the Boundary country.

NEW MINING INVENTION.

Benjamin l.. Miller. a local engineer

will be the means OF adding millions to

to do with gold getting at Cape Nome,
whose beaches were demonstrated last
summer to be SO rich.
Miller thinks he has contrivance
whereby the sands from under the sea
can be procured for distance OF from 500
feet to quarter of "A mile from the shore.
He terms his invention a beach or dredg-
Ing scraper. 1t works automatically.

minutes.
Miller expects to give public test Of
his invention on the West Seattle beach

Butler He states that when the crops Of
the present year in North Dakota have
been disposed of there will be a compare
lively small number of farms in that state
covered by mortgage.
Last year did much for u.s." he said last
night ''but this year there is not bank
in North Dakota that has done any BUSH
ness at all with the farmers that Is not
kept busy making out mortgage discharges:
This is true when only about one-third OF
our wheat crop has been marketed. Only
those farmers who have had pressing
needs have sold their grain yet. BY, far
great majority are holding for better
price, which we believe will prevail after
the new year. The crop has been greater
than any other year, due to the good
prices of 1898. Farmers planted more
ground, and, the season being favorable,
the yield has been good.
There never was time in the history
of North Dakota when the farmers were
so prosperous or free from debt. There
will be little shipping until the price has
increased"
