1.-THE vein matter of Republic camp is
of a peculiar character 1t is for conven-
fence called quartz; but, as it is for the
most part devoid of crystallizatio that
word is a misnomer. The ledge matter
is described technically as an amorphous
silica; it is chalky white in appearance
and carries little apparent mineral or Wis
ible evidences of value of any kind.
Another feature of the camp appears
to be that the character of the ore
changes with depth. Taking the Republic
mine for example. the gold in the upper
levels is carried away largely in a free
state, very finely divided, with a certain
admxture of iron sulphides. This ore is
partly anenable to amalgamation and to
cyaniding. At a depth of 500 or Goo feet
however, the rock becomes baser in char
acter; the proportion of sulphide In
creases, more copper comes in and the
presence of petite a form of tellurides,
is indicated. Thus the ore becomes a
roasting proposition and the cyanide pro-
cess has to be supplemented by fire in or
der to save the precious metal. The
change in the rock appears to occur at
about the water line. oxidation being
probably responsible for the lesser re-
fractOriness of the ledge matter in the up
per Levels. Practically the only visible
evidence by which one may distinguish
the high from the low-grade ore is the
presence in the pay chutes of a banded
structure, or of dark clouding of the ore
said to be due to the presence of petzite
and fine gray copper.
Owing to the occurrence of the ore
bodies upon the sides of the gulches, the
Republic mines have. up to date, been
almost without exception. tunnel PROPOSE
tons. but the lowest levels obtainable by
means of these horizontal workings have
been already opened on most of the prop
critics under development, and the tun-
nels will soon give place to shaftng work
For instance. 600 feet of depth has been
obtained by tunnels on the Republic mine
and further depth is being sought by
means of wines from the bottom of the
lowest tunnel"

this service does not exceed a days
work, or consume more than the sched-

Scarlet Fever Cases.

Great Falls, Dec, 1.-THE Opinion OF
Chinook says regarding the recent scar
let fever cases at that place.
School has been reopened this week,
after the close down on account OF the
scarlet fever cases. The epidemic din
not spread as greatly as was antici-
pated and those in charge felt that
with reasonable care school could be
continued without fear of infection.
In many of the scarlet fever cases
the chic6enpox has followed and the
little ones affected are having trying
time of it. One exceptionally favor
able featnre is the extreme mildness of
both diseases, but that is a prevailing
characteristic of nearly all diseases in
this climate

THE REPUBLIC DISTRICT.


Large and Persistent Veins - Pay Ore
in Chutes.
In "write-up' of the Republic mining
district of Washington Il correspondent
of the Toronto World says:
Republic camp is remarkable for the
size and persistence of its veins, and also
for the richness of its ore. 1t is rule
in the mining world that extent of ore
bodies means a corresponding lessening
in the values of the mineral carried. This
camp, however, appears TO have both
quantity and quality. The chief veins in
the camp are from 10 to 30 feet in width.
one ledge being as much as &c feet wide
on the surface. and the values carried
run up into the hundreds and even thous-
ands of dollars TO the ton.
1T is not, OF course, 70 be imagined that
the big veins run high for their entire
length and breadth. As a matter of fact.
the pay ore runs in chutes, occupying
only portions of the width of the lodges.
and extending from 100 to POO feet in
length. The main ore chute in the Re
public mine. for instance is 2l0 feet long,
and it occupies from oRs-half to two
thirds the total width of the ledge which
carries it. In between the pay chuteS OC-
cur barren sections of ledge matter from
loo to 800 feet in length. When one has
found ledge of ore in Republic camp, he
must therefore, start about prospecting
IT for a pay chute. The leads, as 4 rule.

Missoula, Dec. 1S.-The saWmill men
are rejoicing at the heavy fall of snow,
as it will be the means of them putting
large crews of men into the woods. The
mills in the Occur d'Alene and Clinton
districts are all working at full blast
and are putting men on as fast as they
can get them. They are, however,
drawing a line on men who have not
had some experience in the logging
business. 1t has been found that a
great loss has been sustained by put
ting inexperienced men at this class of
work, and in the future only men who
have had little experience will be
able to secure employment.

threw them at him. He was unable to
stand the bombardment very long and
disappeared into a building, where he
STAYED until the boys left.
