The line is about two miles long. 1t
runs from Frank Brown & Co.'S store,
on the Cameron & Norman townsite, to
the Buffalo Hump Development Com
pany's office, on the Fortune, and from
there to the Boston & BufIalo-Idaho
Company's office, on the Concord town
site. The three companies own the
line.
The wagon road Is completed to with
in eight miles of camp and although
there is about three feet of snow here
tho trails are fairly good, as there is
enough travel to keep them we'll beaten
down.
There is much building going on and
the little sawmill here has more orders
than it can fill, although the cheapest
kind of rough lumber costs $50 per
thousand.
British Columbia.
The Ymir mine B. c., has succeeded
In securing twenty-five men from the
outside. The management claim they
have fifty-seven men now at work in
the mine, and producing sufficient ore
to keep the forty-stamp mill running
continuously. AS the mill treats in the
neighborhood of 100 tons a day, the
Ymir should ship 100000 in bullion,
Gre and concentrates this month.
Some heavy development is planned
for the Columbia-Kootenay. 1t centers
around a new three-compartment shaft
to be sunk from the No. level and it
will be carried down indefinitely.
Three cars of dynamite recently ex-
ploded in the old Ironsides mine at
Phoenix B. c. The dynamite was being
thawed for use in the niue. Fortunate
ly no one was about at the time, and
consequently no one was hurt, but the
damage in the way of broken glass in
the town was very great. The men
were just about going for the dynamite
to take it down in the mine when the
explosion occurred.
The deepest placer shaft in British
Columbia is on the Miocene ground,
Horsefiy river. 1t sinks through 432
feet of gravel and has not reached bed
rock.
The new 60-horse power motor will
be ready in about Is days.
The Morrison mine in the Boundary
Creek district of British Columbia will
soon become one of the leading ship
pers of that great district.
Superintendent Fox of the Golden
Eagle, north fork of the Kettle river,
reports that another rich ore chute has
been encountered in the shaft at a
depth of 100 feet. The values in gold
bottom of the shaft is in ore. 1t is
proposed to run another drift after
sinking a few feet further,
The ledge on the Iron Mask has been
cut at depth of 400 feet, and at that
point it shows values fully equal to
those met in the upper workings. It is
| 10 feet wide, and of that about five feet
| is first grade, worth about $33. The
rest will go in the second class, and an
average will be in the neighborhood of
$12.
MINING NOTES.
The Iconoclast, near Keller, Wash, is
looking fine. The miners are running
waukee Mining Company and the Black
through nice looking quartz heavily
mineralized, and have cut through
some nice stringers of copper ore.
Two mines in the immediate vicinity
of Meyers Falls, Wash, will begin the
steady shipment of ore within the next
thirty days, and the indications are
! that if the shipments are once started
they will continue throughout the en-
! tire winter season.
The gold output of Cripple Creek dis
| trict in October was $2,001 500. This
is the first months production that has
exceeded 100000. 1t is estimated

short of $18,000,0O0.
The Helena-Frisco Company, operat-

In the drift at the tenth level from
the Lee shaft of the Isabella company
at Cripple Creek, Col, miners are work
ing behind bulkhead in six inches Of

which would easily assay from $l50,00O
to 100000 to the ton. and probably
higher. The miners are paid to change
