MINING NOTES.

The deal wherein the Bunker Hill
mine, in the Cracker district, Ore, was
involved, was closed last week.
John Vas, one of the best known min.
ing experts on the Pacific coast, died
OF consumption at Baker City, Ore, last
week, after an illness of nine months.
1t has been definitely ascertained that
there is proposition on foot to pur-
chase the smelter which is few miles
below Spokane and put it in running
order for permanent work.
The North American Mining Com
pany, operating at Copper Butte, about
IL miles northeast of Baker City, Ore.
is going to work as if they mean bust
ness. A carload or two of machinery
has arrived from the Denver Mining
Supply Company, Denver, consigned to
the above named company, in care of
Captain T. L. Evans, and is being un-
loaded and transferred to the scene of
mining operations. The machinery
consists of hosting engine. air COM
pressor, pumps, cage, car, bucket, pipe.
etc., in fact, everything necessary for a
deep sinking plant.
The meeting of the lead producers
of the United States to be held at New
York city will probably result in a com.
bination such as was had about year
ago. This former combination lasted
about six months. Recently the lead
producers of Utah, Idaho and Montana
united, and by their combined effort
had been able to maintain the price of
lead for about three months in the
neighborhood of $4.57h per hundred.
The cause of the recent slump in price
was the refusal of the Missouri lead
producers to share any portion of the
burden, while they were unloading all
the lead they could mine at the price
which was being maintained by the
western producers. There are about
100000 tons of lead produced in the
United States every year.

Big Single MiIl Burned.

Seattle, June 25-Donoghue & Robin

burned to the ground Sunday afternoon,
entailing loss of $4,000. All the stock,
consisting of 100000 shingles in dry kiln,
was consumed. The mill is new one. and
had been running only month and a
half. The origin of the fire is mystery.

Ynir Camp.

The following are the official returns
from The Ymir mine for the month of
April: During last month 5000 tons
have been milled, producing 1867
ounces of bullion and It's tons Of con-
centrates. Have shipped "a tons Of
concentrates. The total 'receipts for the
month are $22,031; expenses, $7763;
estimate of outstanding concentrates,
$2400." This brings the production Of
the Ymir for the first four months Of
1900 up to over $4,000, being the pro-
duct of 10,105 tons of ore milled in the
40-stamp mill. This month the capac-
ity Of the mill will be doubled by the
completion of the other 40 stamps, and
the product from the whole 80 stamps
will probably be in the neighborhood of
$4,000 per month. Besides this it is
probable that the shipment of the rich
crude ore which has been discontinued
recently will now be recommended, as
contract has been entered into with
the Trail smelter for the treatment of
both crude ore and concentrates. Last
year above 375 tons of this rich ore
was shipped, and averaged over $120
per ton.

OF the 1878 corporations chartered in
New Jersey under the existing trust
act, they have paid fees into the state
treasury OF $1.555,176. This is the price
for which the state of New Jersey sold
its honor to the money power.

but several are under consideration and
it is expected that choice will be
made shortly.
Eight hundred tons of ore shipped to
the smelter is an encouraging showing
for one week, when it is considered
that smelters are not yet ready to re-
ceive ore and that shipments from
some of the big properties are being
delayed until advantage can be taken
of cheaper transportation rates for a
short haul. The Knob Hill and Old
Ironsides will probably ship to the
CRANKY smelter this week, and this
ought to double the total. 1t is only a
question Of few months until Boun-
dairy takes leading place among the
big shipping centers of British Column
bia.

A meeting to organize a Demo-

Jury room Tuesday evening. Ora
tor, philosopher, salt mine owner,
Democratic leader and expounder.
and late occupant of a pullman train
for another country, Dory, was
present and delivered an address.
He said because be was after Brine
he was a Democrat, could not be
anything else. No matter what he
had ever been he was always a
Democrat, and that reminded him
of u story. Once man had a steer
and calf and the Gulf chased the
steer around the green spot aud the
man chased the calf and they all
went round and round and that was
like a Democratic campaign. Four
years ago the man chased himself
and that was 16 to 1 now he chased
n steer, imperialism. and Il calf, an
ii. expansion, hence the party was
growing in numbers and principles.

FARM HANDS ARE SCARCE

Railroads Have Abandoned Cheap

Annual Report.

Despite the alarming reports that have
come from North Dakota farmers urging
that workmen be sent from this city to
aid IN saving the crops that are past
ready for threshing, there have as yet
been no responses from this city made
to the appeals. Some of the reports
state that threshing is absolutely at
standstill and unless men are lu ried into
the country heavy loss to the wheat
growers VIII be the result.
At present there are no reduced rates
in effect from the Twin Giles to North
Dakota points, but both the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern had such
rates until just recently. They can
ceiled them for the reason that there
was practically no advantage taken of
them and apparently no demand for the
reduction. From the Northern Pacific
passenger department comes the infoi-
nation that thc.e w,s but one ticket of
this kind sole this yea~ where in previ-
Gus years, the company sod ten, and the
ratio with the Great Northc has been
about the same. The early ral is from
the state evidently conveyed tie general
impression that the crops were so short
that there would be very little denan
for laborers But wIiie this may have
been the case with harvesting, the 1e-
verse, regarding the demand for mer, is
true with threshir g.
Mr.. HannafoTd, of the No. thern Pacific
yesterday telegraphed to re i4ble a ties
in the farming district of No tn d kota
where the scarcity of men is reported to
be the greatest, asking for information
as to the real situation, but received no
reply to his message. 1t was the purpose
of the company to look mo the matte.
with a view of instituting a Sci al re-
~duced rate if necessary.
The passenger department. of the Great
Northern, upon the other hand, yesterday
received from its agent at Devils Lake,
n. D., a letter stating that there was a
dearth of threshirg hands there and t,fat
the need for them was impera tive His
letter stated that 200 men could secure
employment for four weeks at 81 per
day.
The roads have not determined upon
any definite action as yet
