MINING NOTES.

The construction of another smelt-
ing plant at Northport is in contem-
plation.
A second carload of ore from the
Lakeview, in Palmer Mountain dis
riot, was made last week.
The ledge has been found on the Dom
oboe in Keller camp. The ore is gale
ma, and indications point to a large
body of it.
A big new pump for the Peacock
mine at Cuprum, Idaho. is being in
stalled. It's capacity is about 800 gal
Ions per minute.
The country around Iron creek, on
the South Half, where a recent strike
was made, is reported to be full Of
prospectors and much ground is being
staked
Arrangements are under way for a
large display Of mining machinery at
the exposition at Spokane this fall.
An ore exhibit has been promised from
Boise, Idaho, for the mineral depart
ment.
Considerable activity is reported
from Kruger mountain, in the north
eastern part of Okanogan county. Sew
eral good strikes have been made.
Most of the are is copper-gold, though
there is some silver-lead and a little
free milling.
Northport will probably have anoth.
err shipper soon in the Galena Queen.
This is a promising property that lies
on the mountain just back of Stod-
dard's ranch, and is owned by Messrs
Croft, Rose, McGinty and Chris Adams
all of Northport.
A deed has been filed covering all
the property of the Milwaukee Min
ing company, excepting its concentra
tor and mill site, to the Frisco Consol
idated Mining company. The consid
Grafton named in the deed is 81, but
that instrument bears $3.50 in revenue
stamps, indicating an actual consider
alton of $23O,OO0.
A deal was recently made by which
William Williams and John PerglaS:
of Milwaukee undertake to develop the
Wonderful group on Stevens peak, Ida

owners for $4,000. This is the grouI
on which 16 feet of galena was strucl
few weeks ago, when ground sluicins
hunting for the location of the ledg,
where it crossed a creek. Since theI
ore has also been found in another 10
cation. The group includes three
claims, the Wonderful, Orc Elmo ant

The plant is to be rushed into opera
ton with all speed and the company
expects to have it working within 80
days.
The tearing down of the Hienze re-
tinery at Trail, b. c., is completed. The
structure was removed 10 make room
for the new lead furnaces for the smell
ter. The last part to come down was
the big stone chimney, which was 60
feet high.
The suit of the Center Star versus
the Iron Mask, which has been pending
before the courts for the past two
years, which was partially tried at
considerable cost for experts, etc, be-
fore Justice Walkem of the supreme
court about year ago, has been set
tied.
During the last month or two many
substantial and important improve
ments have been going on around the
Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines at
Phoenix, while development and the
breaking down of thousands of tons
of gold-copper ore has been continuous
ly conducted underground. The chan
ges on the surface have all been of a
character that will tend to reduce the
cost of ore-handling to the lowest pos
sible figure.
During August the ore shipments
over the Kaslo & Slocum railway to
Kaslo totaled over 1000 tons, of which
more than half came from the White
water mine to the ore sampler. The

REPUBLIC.

The record of development on the |
mines in Republic camp in August was
the smallest for two years. In some |
instances half the force was laid Off |
The Ben Hur closed down totally for |
an indefinite period. No ore was stop
ed on the San Poll, Black Tail or Quilp. |
Some of the mines, in fact most of
them, will do no more than little de-
velopment work until some machinery
is in operation for crushing custom
ores. The Tom Thumb worked but a
small part of the month on account of
installing machinery. The Republic
did ITO feet of drifting south from the
location of the 150-foot Wine on the
600-foot level during the month of Aug
ust. No other work was done in the
mine. Ninety feet of crosscut tunnel
was the record of the Rebate for the
month. There was 20 feet of double
compartment shaft sunk on the Butte
G. Boston and 20 feet of crosscut run
from the 250-foot level. The Chico
ran 80 feet of drift south from the To-
cation of the 2S5-foot shaft. On the
San Poll there was 60 feet of develop
ment work done. About SO feet of
crosscut was driven on the Gold
Lelge last month. There was but 80 feet
of tunnel driven on the Golden Har-
vest during the month. The Quilp
takes the first rank in the development
for the month of August. About 80
feet of raise and Wine was completed
on the Ben Hur. No work whatever
was done after the middle of the month.
The shaft on the San Juan is being
timbered and enlarged. When this
4 work has been finished the shaft will
be sunk an additional 100 feet to 250
feet in depth. The drift that is being
, run west from the 260-foot level of the
Butte & Boston is in 20 feet. 1t will
probably take 100 feet of crosscut tC
reach the ledge. AS the rock is hard
not more than three feet will be driv
en- each "a hours. The Chico is still
south from the bottom of the 2S5-foot
level. Work is progressing favorably
on the Morning Glory. Drifts are be
ing run north and south on the 200
foot level of the Princess Maud. The
south drift is in 46 feet and the north
so feet. The ore averages IL fee
in width and is of good grade. The
boiler on the Tom Thumb has been re
paired. Work of development is goinG
on from the 2S5-foot level. At thu
point where the crosscut from thu
70 shaft passes through the west ledge i

London, Sept. What is now desig-
mated in some quarters as an attempt to
establish Russian Monroe doctrine" in
Asia seems doomed to modification. Hence
the prospects OF a continued concord OF
the powers are believed to be improving.
Ii is thought that the announcement OF
the names of the four personages appoint
ed by the imperial edict as Chinese peace
commissioners will furnish Russia with
a plausible reason to join the American
demand for the appointment of more sat
isfactory commission and give Russia
grgound for delaying the withdrawal OF
her troops from PelHn until the Chinese
imperial party shows more concihatory
disnosition

Military Conditions.

AS to the reports of the military condi-
lions, they came to Washington today from
three sources, namely, General Chaffee,
General Barry, and finally from MIR. Con-
ger. Each OF them Indicated that quiet
prevailed in Pekin and that the troops are
meeting with no opposition in their oc-
A., cupation. All are silent as to the political
situation there.
A telegram has been received from Min
lister Conger, dated Pekln, September l.,
stating that a military parade passed
through the imperial palace on that date
and that the European servants were the
only occupants.

Strikers Refused Credit.

At Sugar Notch and Warrior Run the

miners, as a general thing, were given
liberal credit by the storekeepers.

big Strike Delayed.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept 9.-After an all
day session the national executive board
of the United Mine Workers of America
adjourned after issuing a statement post
poning the order for a strike pending ne
gotiations. Officials say that influences are
at work to adjust the trouble, but decline
to say what they are. This action means
that the miners of the anthracite region
may not strike tomorrow, although danger
OF strike has not been removed. The
men are ordered to remain in readiness
to 90 out. The mine workers officials re-
fuse to say how far negotiations have pro
crossed or by what means they are being
carried on with the operators.

GERMANY STAYS IN PEK|N
WILL HOLD HER TROOPS THERE
Wants to Avoid Trouble, but Thinks
Troops should Stay-New Cues
tions Arise-Other Powers Demand
Modification of Proposals.

Washington, Sept. THE attitude of
the German government on the Russian
proposition for the evacuation of Pekin has
been made known to the authorities here.
1t comes in communication from the
American charde d'atfaires at Berlin, Mer.
William jackson, and with clearness sets
forth the German position. In substance
it states that Germany is DESTROYS OF
avoiding friction between the powers,
but she considers the conditions at Pekin
such as to require the German forces
there.
The statement of Germany's views is
made in such form as to be taken as con-
elusive that it is Germany's purpose not
to withdraw her troops from Pekln, even
though Russia should do so. 1t Is SAID
TO be more in the line OF a simple an
nouncement than of argument or answer.
1t is presumed that IL reflects the views
made known by Germany to Russia. While
there is no definite information as to the at
titude of most of the other countries, there
is reason to believe the German position
in favor of remaining at Pek1n hnds more
sympathetic approval at other European
capitals, and mat it will be the basis
OF like action by other powers, II indeed
they have not already made it known that
they are in favor OF remaining at Pekln.
In this connection d new consideration
has arisen, namely, whether the ministers
shall remain at Pekln along with The troops
as it appears to be generally accepted tina
the troops OF some, IL not all, OF the powers
will remain at the Chinese capital, upoI
the ground that military force is neces
saTy to preserve order. There Is no sucl
necessity for continuing the presence o
the foreign ministers, so that the negotia
tions are taken into consideration as t.
the departure of the ministers to Iientsll
even ii the troops should be retained.

Frankfort, KY, April Am incident
occurred Tuesday which is of interest
in view of the report from indianapolis
that Gov. Mount would not recognize a
requisition from Democratic Gov. Beck

lucky" for the return to Indiana of
Rudolph Gossman, a prisoner in the
penitentiary here, whose term expires
Wednesday, was presented to Gov.
Beckham after it had been first pre-
sented at republican headquarters and
honored.
The prison officials declined to rec
ognlze Taylor's order. Upon receiving
the papers Gov. Beckham sent a tele
gram to the Indiana executive saving
ne would honor the requisition if Gov.
Mount would do the same by him.
GOV. Mount Replied to Gov. Beckham's
telegram in noncommittal telegra m,
declining to state whether he would
honor the latter's acquisitions if made
on him, saying that he would consider
each case on its merits.
