BRITISH COLUMBIA.

1t is expected that the furnaces of the
CRANKY smelter at Grand Forks will
be blown in tomorrow or Friday. The
sampling works commenced operations
yesterday.
1t is authoritatively learned that the
Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, b.
g., is to be enlarged at once to more
than double it's present capacity, max
ing it able to handle about 1900 tons
OF ore per day.
The first shipment of ore from the
LIE Roi No. mines was made to the
Northport smelter last week 1t con-
All preparations are being made for
regular shipments from that mine.
In July the St. Eugene Consolidated
Mining Company paid out in wages
$685. 400. This is the largest sum ever
paid out by the company in a single
month. In May it's payroll was ST.
600 and in June $4,000. The increas-
ing monthly pay-rolls Of this company
are having telling effect on the town,
which is in a healthy and prosperous
condition. Business in all lines is ex-
ceedingly brisk and the hotelmen and
merchants especially are reaping a
harvest.
| Contracts have been made between
the Rossland Great Western Mining
company and the Canadian Rand Drill
company for the purchase of a 4O-drill
electrically-driven air compressor, to
be delivered within five months and
with the West Kootenay Power and
Light company for electric power to
operate the machine. The contract for
the electric motor, which will have 800
horse power, will probably be let to-
morrow. The compressor is to be an
exact duplicate of the one just compet.
ed at the Black Bear, but without the
steam cylinder. This machinery will
be installed on the Nickel Plate fiat
between the boiler house and the mine
1t will be connected with the other two
machines on the Black Bear ground by
pipe lines, so that any or all of the
three can supply power to any of the
British America corporation mines
When this machine is installed the
nominal capacity of the British Ameri-
: ca corporation compressors will be 40
drills. but the actual capacity will be
nearer $50 drills, for in large mines
all the drills are not in operation at
the same time and the number which
can be operated is thus increased in
proportion.
