MINING NOTES.

Word has been received that the new
ten-stamp mill at the Brazos mine in
Oregon, the property of AL Geiser and
the Blewitts, was started and is work
ing most satisfactorily.
1t is reported that another rich strike
has been made in the Bonanza mine in
Oregon. The ore is said to run from
5000 to $1,000 to the ton.
The ledge on the Mexico property has
feet wide of solid gray copper and ma
tive silver has been uncovered on the
property. The Mexico claim is situat-
ed on Lake Pend d'Oreille near the
Blue Bird on Black Tail mountain. 1t
is a rich district and the prospects for
the permanancy of the lead are good.
News has been received that the old
Sanger mine, out of which many dol
lars were taken in the past, was sold
to an eastern syndicate and Walla Wal
la parties for the alleged price of $780,
000 1t covers about eight claims, sit
uated eight miles northeast of Burke
mont, Oregon, and is a free-milling
gold proposition.
The Occur d'Alene Mining Company
is making its first cleanup of bedrock
at Murray, Idaho uncovered by the by.
draulic elevator. At different times
before some gold has been taken out
of the sluice boxes, which came from
the gravel elevated, but this is the first
time that any bedrock has been clean
ed. The work is not yet completed, and
the rifles have not been cleaned. The
scrapings from bedrock are taken in
wheelbarrows to the mouth of the ele
vator sucker and shoveled in, all going
through the elevator to the sluice.
The Hecla compressor plant at Burke
is in full running order, and it will be
but a few days until the hoist is ready
for use, when sinking will commense
at once. Although small compared with
some, the compressor having a capacity
of only 20 drills, the plant is one of the
most complete in the Occur d'Alenes
some features being superior to those
of any other plant. The hoist will bt
able to work as deep as those of the
Frisco, Standard or Tiger, about $500
feet, and the power supplied by the boi
lers will be sufficient to hoist and pumI
from that depth and run the compress
sor at the same time.
The new air compressor which tn,
Standard Mining company is installing
is in position, and within a few day
will be furnishing air for the drills il
that mine. The old compressor which

Mining Notes and Personals.

The first car of ore was loaded at the
Quilp mine last week by Montana
Smith and started to the CRANKY smell
ter at Grand Forks. Another carload
will follow as soon as the teams return.
The mine is still producing the high
grade ore reported last week. The drift
has been started from the winze on the
100-foot level to tap the pay shoot that
was exposed by the diamond drill some
weeks ago. A cross-cut is being driven
westward on the 200-foot level.
The Black Tail is being developed in
a small way. Day shifts are making
two raises-one from the intermediate
level and the other still higher up. In
the last there is three and half feet of
ore that assays an average o. $40 per
ton. and in the first there is five feet Of
ore that carries values of $22 per ton.
The winze from the No. level on the
San Poll is 60 feet deep.

The Big Strike Is on.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-The great
strike of the anthracite mine-workers
of Pennsylvania, which began Septem-
Der II, practically ended today, when
the Philadelphia & Readiig Coal and
Iron Company and the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company agreed to abolish the
sliding scale in their respective regions
and to grant an advance in wages of
10 per cent net, the advance to remain
in operation until April 1, 1901, or
thereafter. This action meets the de-
mands of the Scranton miners conven-
ton.

THE BIG STRIKE SITUATION
1T is NOT AT AN END YET.
Cost of Powder Is the Stumbling
BIock-Some Companies Have Not
Posted Notices Yet-Higher Wages
Not to End 1t.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 2l.-The coal com
panies in this region are posting notices
relative to the action taken at the Phil
adephia conference of individual operators
and the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron company and the Lehigh VALLEY Coal
company, and with it an explanatory note
upon the powder reduction, showing its
figures in the 10 per cent wage increase.
National Organizer Dilcher says this does
not meet the demands of the miners con-
vention of a week ago, and until it does
there will be no end of the strike.

Grating ID collieries, later in the day post
ed the explanatory amendment to the
original notice modifying the offer to
make it extend beyond April l, as was
agreed would be done at the conference
last Thursday afternoon. They, however,
make no modification of the clause stipu-
lating That decrease in the cost of powder
shall be counted as a part of the increase
in the wages of contract miners.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
and the Delaware & Hudson companies,
, operating "A collieries, have not posted
the amendment, and they are not saying
they will.
More Concessions Demanded.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 2l-President Mitch
ell of the United Mine-Workers' union,
practically admitted to a representative of
of the Associated Press that if every oper-
ator IN the region were to post notices
similar to those that are now being put
up by some of the mine owners, this action
would in itself probably not end the
strike.
He was asked if the companies would
post such notices what his next step would
be. At first he hesitated, and then re-
piled:
'Under the conditions laid down by the
Scranton miners convention there could
be no partial resumption of work"
When it was suggested that his reply
did not answer the question, he said:
"Wel, all l will say is that if all the
companies post notices it will clear up
matters considerably. 1t would remove
such obstacles as now present themselves.

Conditions In Colombia.

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 2l.-Lttle is
known in any part of Colombia regarding
the conditions existing in the other sec
tions of the country. Such points as are
connected by telegraph or cable are held
by the government and at such places the
bulk of news conveys grandiloquent mar
ratives of victories achieved over the lib
erals. The fact remains, however, that the
civil war goes merrily on. The country
is being drained of all its resources and
the most pitiful poverty prevails in all
directions. The interior of this naturally
fertile and rich land is devastated. Co
lombia will, at the end of the war, be a
country of paupers.
The city of Cucuta, the erst-
while liberal stronghold, near the
Venezuelan frontier, was recently
captured by the government forces
after siege of 20 days. Accounts
OF the acts of brutality and the horrifying
scenes that met the eye at the surrender
of Cucuta have appeared in newspapers
of Maricaibo, Venezuela. This place, 1t
appears, was nearly RACED to the ground.
Bodies lay in the debris in the streets in
state of putrefaction. "A drunken sold
iery was let loose amid the nearly starved
inhabitants and every sort of bestiality
was committed. just now the unfortu-
