AS soon as the railroad spur has been put
in the regular shipment of ore to the
smelter will begin. The first grade, Of
which there are $50 tons on the dump is
expected to return 800 to the ton, and
the second grade $40. 1t is an ore that
can be sorted easily, and could be made to
yield q higher grade. as much of 1t runs
5000 to the ton.
Problems as to concentration and the
most economic means of treatment and
output remain to be solved, and 1t may be
depended upon that Mr. Mariner will pro-
coed with the caution and skill which have
earned him his excellent reputation as a
mining engineer. If the winters smelling
experiences and analytical tests Justify
the investment, 1t is a certainty that the
Cleopatra win have concentrator next

which found its way into print, that the Penn
sylyania had occurred controlling interest in the
baltimore & Ohio. and that deal had been con-
summated by which the Vanderbilt party acquired
majority OF the stocks of the Big Four and the
Chesapeake & Ohio roads for the purpose of con-

by DIR. Bell. Of the geological survey OF
Canada. who has Just returned TO Otta-
wa after a I'VE months trip to the Great
Slave lake district. DR.. Ben was sent out
by the government to look for the gold
fields that were said to exist in the VII
cinity OF the Great Slave lake. He met
many disappointed prospectors who had
examined the country for traces of gold.
and finding none. were on their way back
to civilization empty-hAnded. DR.. Bell
surveyed the Great Slave lake, and found.
that It IL one OF the longest in the world.
It did not REQUIRE technical knowledge
on the part Of the miners and prospect:
ors to discover that the reports Of gold
In that district were untrue. While on
his return home from the lake DR.. Bell
met men returning from the wflds who
had set out on the way to Dawson, but
they had found that the difficulties con-
fronting them were we'll nigh insupera-
Bile. Many lost their lives by disease, by
accident and by starvation, and they
came out feeling deeply the dishonesty
OF those who had duped them into the
belief that there was a route by way OF
Edmonton to the Klondike. some OF the
men whom pr. Bell met had been in these
Northern wilds for almost two years, and
were then returning home without the
least hope Of reaching the gold fields Of
the Yukon, and utterly destitute.
