A 10-stamp mill is to be erected at
once on the Referendum, on Forty-nine
creek, Nelson district, and work will be
resumed at once.
The wagon road which the govern
ment is building up Toby creek is near
ly completed to Spring creek, and it is
one of the finest ore roads ever built in
Canterbury mountain country.
The government has started survey
ors up Horse Thief creek and an appro-
priation of $4,000 for wagon road up
the creek has been made. The grade
of ore throughout the camp is excep-
tionally high, the average galena rum
ming over 60 ounces in silver.
An extraordiny special meeting of
the shareholders of the Broken Hill
Mining and Development Company,
limited, was held at the Office of the
company at Ymir, when it was decided
not to accept the offer made by a
French syndicate for the taking over
of the property of this company.
The output from the Rossland camp
has been diminished, as the LeRoi No.

the present and will not resume until
the plants at the smelter and at the lie
Roi are in a sufficient state of prepar-
edness to allow of resumption. 1t is
probable that one or two irregular
shipments may be made from time to
time, but the output from the lie Roi
No 2 has practically ceased for the
present.

Halifax, Oct. 15.-Additional disas-
tiers to shipping on this coast are re-
ported. The known list of vessels
driven ashore now numbers 80, mostly
owned in the province of Newfound-
land. The loss all over the country
and in the neighboring provinces
through terrific rainfalls and washouts
and damage to orchards and buildings
by heavy winds will be many thosands
of dollars.

The vessel is partially owned in Phila-

The new vessel is 2,75O tons net regis
ter, 300 feet long on the keel, 335 feet
long over all, As feet beam and 20 feet
deep. She will carry $500 tons of coal,
about LOO tons more than does the
John b. Prescott. This six-master will
not only be monster, but a beauty.
Her masts are of Oregon pine, each 116
feet long, with IS feet topmasts. The
lower masts are 20 inches In diameter
in the partners, except the foremost,
which is 80 inches. The fore topmast is
~ inches in the cap and the other IL

time 80 per cent reinsurance was paid
on her. She put into Honolulu, how
ever, and was then fifty-one days COM

This is the record slow passage from
the nitrate ports to San Francisco. The
Americana carries jib topsail, an in

sail, fore and aft foresail, a square
foresail, main topgallant sail, main
stopsail and fore and aft mainsail, miz.

OF canvas the best the Americana could
do was about 100 knots day. She was
very foul, however, having been for a
long time in the water without being
drydocked.
The marine novelty which Is attract.

doubtless do better in the way of speed
than the nondescript which is exciting
wonder in San Francisco. The former

The Gold Leaf, near Republic, has

of regular wagon shipments to the
smelter if it proves a success.
One of the biggest deals that has yet

than the estimated capacity. 1t is es
timated that by running it II hours
daily it will keep the mill fully suppl

inch pieces. 1t is then elevated to q
revolving screen and all that will mo-
pass through it is returned to be re
crushed in another machine to the re
quired fineness. From the sampler i
