Prosperous Year Ie Predioted-Mining
Notes and Personals.
The purchase of the Ducktown cop
per mines by syndicate, which was
reported week ago, is cosummated.
The Lewisohn brothers, copper kings
of New York, are the purchasers of the
Pittsburg & Tennessee Copper COM
pany's plant and the plant at Duck
town. The price paid was $157500 in
cash. Other adjoining property is also
purchased at an additional expendi-

sheridan Camp.
w. II. Giles came in from Sheridan
camp last evening for the purpose of
obtaining supplies necessary to work
the Kittie Clyde claim in that camp
The work that will be commenced
within the coming week will consist
of a small amount of preparatory
work and then shaft will be started
and continued until the value of the
property is established beyond con-
troversy. The company that has as
I SuIueu tOllAIOl 10 IL lNOp9At1AAN AllNIlth-
ton and is reputed to be amply backed
with cash. The Kittie Clyde is on the
same ledge as the leila M. and carries
| silver-bearing ore of high grade. The
| ledge has been traced the entire length
! of the claim, by cuts, which have eX-
posed a ledge varying from four to six
feet in width. 1t is fair to presume
| -. an, bO
age The ore body is from "a to &c
| inches in width.
Cold and silver.
A table showing the average yearly
| output of gold and silver for Germany
United States and the British colonies
| and dependencies is analysed by Con-
sui Constable in a single sentence in
which he says: THUS the United
States and the British colonies to-
gether produce somewhat more than
one-half of the total annual output Of
gold and nearly one-half the annual
output of silver throughout the world"
A further analysis of the table indi-
Gates that the United States alone pro-
duces about % per cent of the gold of
the world, and over 80 per cent of the
silver
The coke production of tho southern
states in 1896 was over 10 times the to-
tai production for the same section in
1880, while the production of the
United States in 1896 was less than
four times the output of 1880. The
southern states show a material gain
in 1896 over that of any year since
1880, having produced 3,817.255 short
tons, or 80 per cent of the total pro
duction of the whole country.
Buffalo Hump Notes.
The Big Buffalo people have their
new bunk house up and it is quite an
improvement over the flimsy tent
which has been in use hitherto.
The gallows timber is up for the
hoist on the Big Buffalo claim and the
shaft is timbered and everything
ready to begin sinking as soon as the
hoist arrives, which will be in a few
days. The boiler and engine are on the
ground.
William Wylie Is working three
shifts on the Jumbo, driving in on the
lower tunnel in fine showing of ore,
which is improving as the tunnel APP
proaches the ore chute already devel-
oped in the upper workings.
Republic.
The Golden Lily shaft is down 81
feet 13 feet below the foot wall of the
ledge, which dips easterly into the hill.
The south drift on the Trade Dollar
mine is forging ahead and sendingNout
quartz that samples from $40 to $50
per ton.
The North San Poll shaft is down SIS
feet and looking better with the addi-
| tional depLh.
The tunnel at the Anaconda pre-
sents a change for the better, with wa
ter, quartz stringers and clay coming
in, the best indications of close APP
| proach to the vein.
| The Iron Monitor continues improv-
ing, with eight inches of ore in the
north drift at 140 feet deep on the dip
of the vein.
| The Troubador vein still improves
going down. The quartz is harder and
better looking and the foot wall is
more permanent.
The North Star tunnel is in 260 feet
and going ahead. There are small
stringers of quartz near the mouth and
one also in a 25-foot shaft within a few
feet of it.
Word has just been handed in that
1924 ore has been struck in the new
Insurgent shaft, at depth of Is feet.
The Republic mine improves almost
day by day and never looked as well
as it does now. A Wine has been start
ed on the No 3 level east of the hano
