The Lone Pine took second place in
development last month. The total
number of feet run was 1870. This was
divided as follows: East drift, 65 feet;
west drift, 80 feet; adit tunnel, 95 feet.
The tunnel on the Rebate was driven

Granite mining district is as active as
any in the northwest. 1t is not the
railroad probabilities alone, however,
that are responsible for the activity
in this camp and the boom of Granite.
Mining men are learning that large
bodies of ore and the most favorable
formations exist in the camp. This is
being well demonstrated by the Red
Boy, Magnolia, Little Giant, hex. Bo-
nanza, Pyx, Cougar and others, and
also by hosts of prospects in various
stages of development. Work has been
in progress on a great many properties
all winter and prospects are that a
number will be added to the list of pro-
ducers before fall.
The advance guard of prospectors has
arrived, though the mountains are still
covered with snow, the roads are al
most impossible, and the weather has
been cold and disagreeable.
1t is reported that the Magnolia mine
equipped with a modern 10-stamp mill
and only four miles from Granite, Ore,
has reverted to its original owners, by
the failure of the purchasers to meet
the last payment when due.
Much work is in progress at the Red
Boy mine. A large force of men is
erecting a shaft house, ore bins, ETC.,
and about $4,000 worth of machinery
is on the ground for the proposed sink;
ing operations.
While little is yet being done on the
nIacer dippings in this vicinity nrena
rations are under way for much work

The Humming Bird Mining Company
Of Burke, Idaho, has four men at work

From all the mining camps around

The Corea Mines.

Corea seems a good way from here,
and it is, but we can snip a ton of
freight from New York to our mines
near the Yaloo river as cheaply as the
same ton can be sent to the mountains
of Idaho, and just about as quickly, too.
We have been interested in mining for
five years now on a concession covering
1000 square miles. Our lease has %
years to run. We have the right to
mine any mineral, but we have confined
our attention to gold alone. All of our
machinery is of American manufacture
as this country makes the best ma
chinery for mining purposes in the
world.
Corea is picturesque, beautiful fer
tile, with an excellent climate and an
Industrious and agreeable people. At
our mines we employ rs white men and
5000 coolies. We are the pioneers there
and we had to overcome all the obsta-
cles in new and in most respects a
wild country. There are many good
fields in Corea, as the country possesses
a continuation of the gold-bearing out
crops of Siberia and Manchuria, both
of which are bound to be great gold
producers. The Coreans have been min
ing with crude methods for many CEN
turtles, and they are still at it.
There is an immense opening for en-
terprise and capital there, which will
undoubtedly be supplied as soon as ii
is understood that the United States
government will protect it's citizens in
all legitimate foreign enterprises. The
orientals are kindly disposed towards
Americans for many reasons, but chief
ly because they recognize that Ameri
cans are not seeking political empire
and they feel that from them they car
receive the most desirable assistance in
industrial and commercial improve
ment
The enterprises which are now start
| ing over there are bewildering, but Il
is hardly a poor mans country. TIL,
opportunity is favorable for associated
capital in large amounts skillfully di
rected, but not for individuals.

English Officers Unsatisfactory.
London, April l4.-The unsatisfactory
turn that has recently marked the cam
paign against the Beers is resulting in
astonishing and sweeping criticisms by the
English papers of their own army meth
DDS When Butler struck snags in Natal,
when General Methuen and General Cat
acre made terrible mistakes and before the
British arms had secured any progress,
somewhat similar wave swept over the
press. But then it VS. directed at individ-
usls and chiefly confined to papers which
were willing to condescend to slang" one
or several generals. Now names are not
mentioned but there is widespread, deeply
rooted conviction that the method of Sc
lection of British army officers is alto
gether wrong. About this conviction there
Is no bitterness, nor is it based upon con-
illusions rapidly arrived at. Our officers"
says the conservative, common sense Out
look, "are as brave as lions, but as a

General Roberts Advances.
London, April lS.-At last General Rob.
erts seems to be on the eve of making his
main advance toward Pretoria. Unless all
the usual reliable sources of information
and indications Struggled past the censor
are at fault, the British army within the
next few days will be marching north
ward. There is even in the best inform
ed circles considerable hesitancy in set.
Ting upon the day Lord Roberts is likely
to leave Bloemfontein, but there is a set
tied impression that it will occur either
at the end of this week or the beginning
of next.
Ladysmith dispatches confirm the re-
port that the Beers have retired from the
Elandslaagte district. No raiding opera
tions southwark have been reported and it
is clear that the Boer advance was or
dered for the sake of employing the
burghers on active duty and of checking
assertions. The British inactivity in one
sense is mastery, since it demoralizes the
enemy.

Trade Report.

Bradstreets report for the past week
says:
Backward spring weather conditions
have figured considerably in distribu-
tive trade rports last week and in con-
nection with some weakness in prices
of leading stocks have impaired an APP
pearance of irregularity to the general
situation. Another of these downward
swings in the prices of agricultural
staples is exhibited last week in slight
ly lowered prices for the cereals, partly
because of the bearish sentiment of
immediate supplies and partly because
of the better than expected government
crop report, which is taken to indicate
a possible winter wheat yield in excess
of all records. The crop outlet as a
whole favors the expectation of large
yield of corn and cotton. Corn and
oats have sympathy with the reaction in
pork products, which reaction however,
has not been universal as shown by the
fact that lard is at the highest point
reached on the present boom. Corn ex-
ports in March were three times those
OF last year, in value and for seven
months are seven per cent greater in
value, while % per cent smaller in
quantity.
Evidences accumulate that active
missionary work in favor of lower
prices for iron and steel is at last bear
ing fruit. Prices we're no lower and
stocks as a whole are claimed to be nc
larger than a month ago, but steel pro
ducts have weakened noticeably during
the week, billets showing the sharpest
decline, with corresponding decreases
in some othr products. The other met
ais show little change on the week
copper being in continued good demand
and firm, while tin is speculative weak
err and lead is strong at previous prices
The hardware trade returns as whole
are better.
A slight upward movement in cottor
is to be noted this week and southern
mills have advanced prices. On the
/ other hand, while the mills are active
on old orders, new business is reported
of smaller volume. Some more in
quiry is noted in raw wool without
however, affecting values.

SENSATIONAL RUMORS
C0ncerning the Belmont Plate Mill
Seems to He GrOundless.

Concerning the Belmont Plate Mills
Seems to he GrOundless.
It is sincerely hoped by those who
take an interest in industrial matters
that the sensational rumors that have
been circulated concerning the plate
department of the Belmont, on the
South Side, are entirely groundless.
The idleness in the little plate mill
and work on single turn in the big
plate mill is due to scarcity of orders,
according. to statement by the man
agement, as chronicled in yesterdays
issue OF the Register. 1t is still per-
sistently reported that ''close down"
was ordered in. one department and
single turn in the other department
because the employees organized a
union of the Amalgamatedl oAssocia-'
ton, but this does not seem to have
been the case Future developments
regarding this department of the big
mill in which quite large force of
men are employed, will be watched
with much interest.
