THE ALICE,

Captain r. w. Buzzo, superintendent
of the Alice mines, in a conversation with
a Salt Lake Herald reporter recently,
saws the mines are in excellent physical
condition and steadily improving as
work in their operation and development
continued. the properties having a long
tenure on life and productiveness for the
future.
In the working of the mines the COM
pany is giving employment to a force
of 25 men, including ~lessees, while the
yearly output of milling ore amounts to
about q, eco tons, while from 1000 to 5000
tons of crude ore annually finds it's way
to the metal markets of the west.
AT the present time, according to MI.
Buzzo, the company is doing a large
amount of prospecting work, IN which
power drills are utilized, and with a fair
measure of success, the work being done
in virgin soil, and as II claims are en-
braced in the Alice group, a large area
of very promising ground remains to be
developed; Notwithstanding the fact that
the Alice has been explored to a depth of
800 feet, while in the property there
are over 40 miles of drifts, Slopes, wines
and upraises, the work in HAND at the
present time being confined to the levels
nearer the surface, as. with the present
quotations of the white metal, it has
been found less expensive to operate at
as shallow a depth as possible.

A BIG MINING DEAL,

One of the biggest mining deals that
has been contaminated in the history of
mining in the Pacific Northwest has just
been perfected. 1t is the consolidation of
the valuable and ~tensiv properties of
the Florida Mountain Mining company
and the Trade Dollar Mining and Milling
company, on Florida mountain, in
Owyhee county, Idaho. The principals
of both companies live in Pittsburg.
The consolidation takes in all the i'm
portant mines on Florida mountain
with the exception of the Black Jack.
and it is understood negotiations are
now on foot to include that dividend
paying property. Excluding the Black
Jack, however,, the consolidation, as
now agreed upon, c~ontemplates in it's
scope the operation, under one manage
ment, of the most extensive system Of
mines in the west. The consideration is
81, 800, 600, which will be paid the Florida
Mountain The new company
will be known as the Trade Dollar Mining
and Milling Consolidated company, and
in addition to the original properties will
own twenty-seven mines of the Florida
Mountain The consolidation
also includes the twenty-stamp mill at
Dewey, one of the finest in the west, and
other buildings at that place. Tn Florida
Mountain company has expended $4,000
in mill and other improvements. 1t is the
intention of the new company to work
the vast system of mines through one
tunnel, the mouth of which will be at
Dewey. This tunnel will tap the Lodges
1000 to LOO feet from the apex of the
mountain. In 5000 feet from the mouth
the Trade Dollar ledge will be encoun-
tered. The tunnel will then be run 5000
feet on that ledge, taking 1T to the end
line. The point where the Trade Dollar
vein will be struck will be 500 feet below
the present Orklng
The Blaine mine, one of the original
Trade Dollar holdings, is said to be the
objective point of the tunnel When
that point is reached the tunnel will be
13, 700 feet in length. James Hutchinson,
formerly of Denver, who has been man
ager of the Trade Dollar, will be the
manag of the vast system of mines un-
der the consolidation.

Hickey, Michael Hickey, John NJ. Stew
ard, f. Augustus Heinze and Arthur P.
Heinze to recover possession of a portion

bodies beneath the surface and have
been and are now engaged in extract

No amount of money is asked for. but
the plaintiff requests the court to re-
strain the defendants from further al

New Use for COrnstaIks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. pa series of ex-
periments, which have been carried on for
some time past by the Agricultural De-
partment, have recently developed a new
use for cornstalks. from which a very val
liable horse and cattle food can now be
made. The department has done a great
deal of work with cornstalks in the past
year and has developed several valuable
uses for them, namely. Golfer dam packing
for warships, a high grade of writing pa
per, the basis for a smokeless powder, su-
perior to the picric acid powders. and sew
eral other uses. The new cattle food is
made by grinding the dry cornstalks,
leaves and tops to a powder and mixing II
with blood or molasSes, or both. This Is

The battle between the British and
Beers at Modder river, though not reported
in detail. was evidently the hardest fought
battle of the war thus far, with heavy
losses on both sides. The battle lasted ten
hours. with hard fighting on both sides.
The Modder river is a short distance south
of Kimberley, and IL General Methuen was
to carry out his plan of relieving that
place the battle was inevitable. The dis
patches do not state the results very clear
lv. but the net advantage seems to be
with the British. The latter are still about
twenty-five miles from Kimberley, and
will doubtless have more hard fighting be-
fore they reach there. Unless that place is
closely invested it would seem to be a nat
urai move on the part of the British COM
mander there to march south and, per-
haps, attack the Beers in the rear, while
General Methuen is engaging them in
front. At al. events it is evident that the
relief of Kimberley is costing the British
dearly. and then there are other places to
be relieved.
