on the Sullivan, in East Kootenay. At
present ore has to be hauled by wagons
from the mine to the siding, about two
and half miles, but the company ex-
poets to put a tramway in before long,
after thorough tests have been made
along the lines at present planned.
There are big plans ahead, but the COM
mencement of regular shipments is
what is being worked for now. There
is a large body of ore on the dump
ready to be sent out, and the mine is
turning out more with regularity. Fiji
teen men have been at work in the

been making anxious inquiries as to

because the capitalist and the miner
must work together. The one can dc

results of the test runs of the Mountain
Lion have bee secured. Hitherto no
information has been given out for
publication regarding the results of
these tests, but it was stated that they
were highly satisfactory. The actual
results of the tests, as given in the Of

gain of from Sc to 81 per ton. Reports
have been that the Mountain Lion has

MINING NOTES.

R. X. Neill, the Spokane mining man,
at Post Falls, Idaho. Mr.. Neill is the
promoter of an enterprise that may
make Post Falls thriving town in the
near future. The water power in
cluded in these negotiations comprises
all but 1900 horse power out of the
IL 900 horse power supposed to be in
the river. The proposition is to erect
a 100000 electric power plant at Post
Falls to furnish power for the opera
tion of the mines in the Occur d'Alene
country. Wires will be strung for IS
miles, or as far as the town of Burke,
Idaho. BY this plan some of the largest
mines in the Occur d'Alenes will be
operated by electricity. This is prob
ably the largest enterprise ever under
taken by Spokane capital, and as many
of the most wealthy mining men in
this city are interested in the PROPOSE
ton its success is assured.
Furnace No. has been blown at the
Northport smelter. The other two fur
naces will follow as quickly as is ex-
pedient. Ore is coming down from the
mine at Rossland at the rate of over
500 tons daily, and a continuous run
is looked for the coming year. Men
are being put to work daily and the
city is taking on a more prosperous
look than it has for some time.
The Tiger-Poorman at Burke, Idaho,
is temporarily closed down, while a
lot of retimbering is being done on the
shaft. The work is already completed
far enough down that few men are
working on the upper levels, but it will
be two or three weeks before the full
force will be back to work and all the
levels running.
The shaft IN the Amador, on Iron
mountain, is showing better ore than
ever. A considerable part of it is of a
shipping grade, and the quality is i'm
proving with every shot 1t will be
only short time before a mill will be
on the ground. For this reason little
time is spent in sorting the ore, except
where there are large chunks of ship
ping ore.
Three men and cook have left Wal
lace with mining supplies to work the
Montana Summit group, about five
miles from Burke, on the Idaho side
OF the summit. The claim has already
received some development.
A party of men interested in Stevens
Peak properties was up there from Wal
lace the first of last week looking out
a route for a wagon road to be built il
there. They went from Mullan ant
found good grade, over which the
Morning Mining Company already ha!
a road about two miles, or nearly half
way.
