Inc deepest mining in Oregon is now
an progress at the North pole ,,,i,a
seven miles from Sumpter, owned by
alexander Barring of London. The man.
-ager, Emil Meier, who is also a chem.
ASe' recently observed that the percent.
age saved by the syanide process had
slightly decreased, and he found on
careful examination of the ore taken
from the drift at the 1000-foot level
mat there was small quantity of free
gold, SO plates were put in and the free
gold saved on them we'll justifles the
expense incurred.
Republic Camp.
1t is reported that the south drift of
the San Poll mine has opened up eight
feet of $100-ore.
II is a popularity Of Republic camp
that free gold is found as depth is at.
tained.
The contractors of the Mountain
Lion upraise are rising toward the
shaft at the rate of FIVE feet per day.
lney are up lao feet and expect to
hole through to the shaft by the goth
inst. The Wine is down about 90 feet,
and at 100 feet below the tunnel level.
4oO feet below the surface, drifts will
be started along on the vein. By the
10th inst it is expected the mill build
ing Will be covered and in shape to re-
@celve the machinery, which is arriving
at Grand Forks and will soon be de-
livered on the ground.
The increasing of the working capac-
lty of the Republic mill at an early
date is confidently assured. and the re-
'duction of the cost of treatment of
the ore is now regarded as an absolute
certainty.
The crosscut from the bottom of the
Golden Lily shaft ran SO feet, with the
last four feet in quartz, and is said by
superintendent Coy to be "far from
through the ledge" He says that he
got sample from the quartz which as
sayed $50 in gold and II ounces silver
per ton, but water had burst into the
workings in such volume as to defy
further prosecuting until i steam boil
er and pump can be set up and the
croSscut drained. | am informed that
a pumping plant has been ordered for
the Golden Lily to cost $4,000.
The San Poll mine is again to the
front, making her promise good, and
has run into full face of ore in the
south drift, which corresponds with
the showing at the surface. Superin-
5tendent drummer being absent, no as
say, if any have been had, have been
given out for publication.
Samples of seven feet of ore in the
.stope of the Mountain Lion have been
aassayed. This was the full width of
the stope. The assay showed 5000.
Picked samples could have been taken
from the stope which would have
shown at least $500 per ton.
The Princess Maud Wine shows free
gold abundantly. A foot of the ore
ssparkles with the yellow metal, and is
amazingly rich. This is the most i'm
sportant development of all the surpris-
ing ones that have followed each other
in rapid succession since the Wine
started
The Republic winze is keeping up its
record for production of bonanza ore.
1t is maintaining the same character
of ore, showing free gold and the pecu-
Mar form of telluride called by some
petite, which was never encountered
in the mine until opened in this Wine.
There is no diminution in the values
in the Surprise drift. 1t is evident that
the drift is in the same rich chute
which was opened by the shaft.

Although the ore of the Stemwinder
mine at Fairview averages only 50
ton, so much of it has been blocked out
at a small comparative outlay that the
property will soon yield dividends. 1t
IS found that with so stamps the ore
can be milled at 81 per ton.
After years of promise and waiting
the Josie mine at Rossland is about to
become profitable shipper, beginning
with a 50-ton daily consignment to the
Northport smelter. 1t will require
19Oe-foot tram to carry the ore from
the mine to the railway.
James Mills and Charles Cocine, two
miners, were killed in tunnel of the
Lake Shore mine, near Nelson, b. C.,
by the premature discharge of blast
ing shot.
It is estimated that there are 10000
tons of ore on the dumps of the Old
Ironsides and Knob Hill mines, in
Greenwood camp, which was taken out
in development.
A strike is reported on the Monarch
in Phoenix camp The strike consists
of a ledge from 800 to 400 feet wide.
