RRITIsH COLUMBIA.

The ore shoot of the Kootenay Mines
at Rossland has been found at the 1000
foot level. The pay shoot has been
found on this level in the west drift 116
feet from the shaft, and another in the
east drift 164 feet east of the shaft.
The Kootenay mines, which formerly
We're known as the Columbia and Koo-
tenay, have been developed by series
OF tunnels, running into the side Of the
sloping hills six in number, one over
the other. These tunnels have each
been driven about 800 feet and are al
most at the western end of the proper
ty.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Black Cock Gold Mines, limited, opera
ting in Ymir, the following were elect
ed officers and directors for the ensu-
Ing year: J. Mcmillan, Chairman;
A. Julien, Vice Chairman; Alex Audit,
u 0. Lalonde and ]. L. G. Abbott. W.
Iomlinson was appointed secretary
and Richard Plewman auditor.
Construction on the ariel tramway
from the LeRoi loist to the Black Bear
mats has commenced, and it is expected
mat the plant will be running in about
fortnight. The lie Roi sampling mill
VIII not be finished until two or three
weeks later.
Word has Just leaked out of an i'm
pQrtant strike on the American Boy,
near the Last Chance in Sandon camp,
SLOGAN, made several days ago. Accord
ing to the report the ore body has been
reached and drifting has disclosed
leet OF clean galena. The report is con-
nrmed at the Office Of the company at
Spokane.
There has been done to date on the
Oid Ironsides and Victoria, which ad-
JOIN, about 5000 feet of work in these
mines. No. 1 shaft is down 800 and
no. 400 feet. Similar work on the
MOD Hill and Grey Eagle totals nearly
''oOV feet. These figures together mean
nearly two miles of underground work.
Hn enormous quantity of ore has been
''ocked out by these workings. The

tonnage the mines have sent out now
totals nearly 10000 tons. About 200
men are employed in and about the
mines and more will be put on as re-
quired.
The Load Star Mining Company suit,
which agltated Kasio, about six weeks
ago, has been thrown out by the grand
jury at Nelson.
1t was learned at Nelson that the Is
miners who were at work at Camp
Mansfield, near Kaslo, have come down
and work upon the property has been
stopped. 1t is reported that the men
refuse to work owing to difficulties con-
corning their wages. When Earnest
Mansfield, manager of the company, was
seen, he stated that the report was
true.
The shipment Of ore ON the prop
critic of the Miner-Graves syndicate in
Phoenix camp have been increased
from 300 to 500 tons each "a hours.
This ore all goes to the syndicates'
smelter at Grand Forks. where the Sec
ond three hundred-ton furnace was
blown in recently.
The Iron Horse claim and London
Fraction, on Ten Mile creek, in the Slo.
can, were bonded by w. S. Rogers and
W. D. Wrighter, of Spokane, George B.
Smith, Jr., of Ogden, Utah; Mark Man
ley, of SLOGAN, B. C. and eastern par
ties from A. l.. Mclean and A. McDon-
aid. The amount of the bond is not
stated, but is understood to reach five
figures, of which a substantial first pay
ment has been made
AT the directors meeting of the We

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
$500 to 81, 500 to the ton.
The ledge on the Mexico property has
been located and body of ore eight
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 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,
900. 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 hy-
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 few days until the hoist is ready
for use, when sinking will commense
at once. Although small compared with
some, the compressor having 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 be
able 10 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 pump
from that depth and run the compress
sor at the same time.
The new air compressor which the
Standard Mining company is installing
is in position, and within few days
will be furnishing air for the drills in
that mine. The old compressor which
this one supplants had a capacity of on
ly Is drills, while lie new one can run
so of them, being all that the company
is likely to ever need.

Agreement on China.

London, Oct. 2l.-The agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, tidings
of which came Sunday, to maintain the
territorial integrity of China, while it saw
ors of Independent action and would doubt
less be adhered to despite the protest of any
other power, it is not looked upon here as
forming an obstacle to the progress of ne
gotiations upon the basis laid down in the
last French note, or indeed upon any prop
ositions which will not infringe upon the
essential principles OF the Anglo-German
compact.
The Associated Press is informed that
Lord Salisbury's reservations, or actions
as he prefers to have them called, when
answering the recent notes, especially
that of France, either bid fair to be ac-
cepted in toto or subjected to such modi-
fications that Great Britain will be as
sured that territorial integrity will be con-
served and will be able TO join whole
heartedly in the negotiations which may
already be said to be started in Pekin.

MAY BE PREPARING FOR WAR.
Mexican Government Buying Horses
at Fancy Prices.

Omaha, Oct. ga special to the
World-Herald from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says:
Senior Manuel Alvarez, an agent of
the Mexican government, came to
Cheyenne about two weeks ago and
since that time he has purchased sew
eral carloads of saddle horses which
have been shipped to the City of Mexi-
co. Judging from words dropped now
and then by Senior Alvarez the Mexi-
can government is preparing for war;
either rebellion or war of conquest.
Alvarez will say nothing as to his real
purpose in buying so many horses and
animals that would readily be accepted
by the united States government for
cavalry service. The prices paid are
in some cases fancy, and Senior Alvarez
seems to have plenty of money. He
says that he was directed to this Sec
ton because of the reputation made by
Wyoming and Colorado horses in the
late Spanish war. He says ne wants
only the very best animals.

Republic.

The first car of ore was loaded at the
ouilp 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 a 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. 2 level on the
San Poll is 60 feet deep.
Eleven sacks of magnificent ore TAX
en- out of the Morning Glory sampled
81 400 per ton. The ore was chiefly
from the main pay shoot and is the
richest the mine has produced.
The rich ore body discovered in the
Gold Ledge few days ago is growing
larger with each foot of advancement
Work is concentra Led chiefly on the
south drift on the 100-foot level and it
is progressing rapidly.
superintendent Maurice Downey, Of
the Tom Thumb stated yesterday that
work is being carried on rapidly and
that the machinery was all in good
shape.
1t is learned from a relible source
that developments of quite sensational
Importance have recently been made on
the Mountain Lion The find is of an
entirely new ledge, making three large
lodges on the company's ground.
The Review tunnel at Chesaw is in
over 600 feet, and according to the en-
gineers' survey, within 80 feet of the
main ledge. The rock being taken out
is we'll mineralized and high assays are
being secured.
The Butte and Boston cross-cut had
been driven 10 feet last Monday. No
ledge has been encountered.
The finding of rich ore on the Prin-
cess Maude, which is on the same ledge
has had much to do with giving an i'm
petus to the sales of the Butte and Bos
ton stock.
There was considerable water met
with in the Princess Maude winze last
week. The inflow was so great that
drilling was suspended.
The ore bin at the main Republic
mill was being filled yesterday from the
ore that has passed through the samp-
ling mill. The cars, holding a ton,
passed from the sampler to the mill,
about 400 feet about every four minutes
The car is self-feeder and .elf-dumper,
and does its work admirably.
A considerable force of men were put
in the Slopes of the Republic mine
breaking ore. 1t is said that when the
mill is in full operation the company
will have 200 men on the pay roll.
The Chico has started up again.

Rock Island May Buifd to Mexico

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Tribune says:
1t is stated by prominent official of the
Rock Island railroad that it is the inten-
ton of the company to extend its south
western division and establish line that
will give its own trackage into FL Pasco,
Texas, where connection is to be made with
the Mexican Central and Southern Pacific
railroads.
Work is to begin shortly on an extern
sion of the Rock Islands Liberal branch
and will run from that place through the
Texas panhandle and northwest New Mex
leo to White Oaks. n. NJ. At this point
the connection will be made with the Ell
Paso & Northeastern railroad, extending
to FL Paso. The latter road is to be ac-
quired by the Rock Island, either by lease
or purchase of its stocks and bonds, thus
securing continuous line from Chicago via
either Omaha or Kansas City to Ell Paso.
At this point it will connect with the MeXi
can Central for the City of Mexico and
with the Southern Pacific for south TN Cali
fornia.

THE CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
No Extension of That Road Is Likely
at Present.


st. Paul, Mimi, Oc,. 22.-Although
the new maps of the Northern Pacific
show a proposed extension of the Cen
trail Washington branch it Is not be-
lieved that such an extension will be
built for many years il at ell. I'm the
first place." said a well-posted railroad
man recently, there is not sufficient
business to justify it's construction.
The present branch is without excuse
for being, and an extension would only
make things worse. The chief bust
ness done is the handling of wheat. It
is hauled east an average of 10 miles
to be hauled west again on the main
line. With the ever present POSSIBLE
ity of adverse legislation would be
the height of folly to extend the mile
age.
THE only extension of the branch
tina. good railroading would justify
would be to continue the line on to the
coast, as was originally Planned, but I
do not expect this will be done for some
years. Both Vice President Kendrick
and Chief Engineer McNiel oppose this
plan, and their advice counts heavily"
