BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Athleson, in Boundary, owned
by the Mack brothers, of Spokane, has
come into a rich and large body of ore.
1t is prophesied it will beat the Win
nipeg, in the same camp.
That the Sullivan mine in the East
Kootenay is to be furnished with
10-drill compressor within six or seven
weeks is the news announced by Chas.
II. Wolf, manager of the company. The
order for the plant was placed with
the Canadian Drill Company Tuesday.
The Rand company agrees to have the
plant on the ground in 80 days, and it
will take a fortnight or three weeks to
set it up and get it running.
The main shaft on the Canadian
King, at Ymir, is now down over 800
feet. The shaft is sunk on an incline
following a narrow porphyry dyke,
which is accompanied by ore varying
in thickness from a few inches to three
feet. At depth of so feet on this in
cline an upraise extends vertically to
the surface. The ore in the vein is
silicious in character, being a white
quartz heavily mineralized with iron
pyrites, galena and zinc-blende. Sam
pies taken from different parts of the
shaft assayed up to $120 in gold, and
from to IA ounces in silver. Ore re-
moved from the shaft in the course of
sinking, and shipped TO the Northport
smelter, went over $40 per ton. Be
sides the main shaft, a second shaft
has been sunk depth of 70 feet with
cross-cut of SIS feet.

REPUBLIC.

Only a small force is working on the
Rebate tunnel. The management does
not appear to be anxious to get out any
ore until the new mill is ready to ham
die it.
The Bodie will be in operation again
shortly. 1t is the southern extension Of
the San Poll There is an incline shaft
on the property that is 345 feet deep.
The Mountain Lion mill is doing good
work and treating between 80 and 90
tons daily The work ON the raise is
progressing finely, and good progress is
being made on the drift
The Quilp ground is about the liveliest
spot in Eureka district. The buildings
for the compressor plant are being push
ed with all possible speed, and the ma
chinery is being put in place, giving EN-
ployment to small army of men.
The Morning Glory is looking, as a
whole, better than ever, there being
some very rich ore, but it is not in
large quantities. A new strike of soft
ore from II to IS inches In width and
70 feet long gives an average value of
$40 per ton.
Another townste has Ueen started
in the Myers Greek district. Nelson
is it's name, and it is located on Baker
creek. one mile south of the interna-
tional boundary line and about five
miles west of Chesaw on the Chesaw-
Orc. wagon road.
No work is being done on the Lone Pine
except i'll pushing the tunnel. 1t will be
completed in time to be used as an exit
for ore. 1t is not probable that the Gus
tom mill, being put up by the Republic
Reduction company will be prepared to
handle the ore for several weeks.
Excitement ran high in Chesaw when
+. S. Jackson, an old-time prospector, ar
rived in Chesaw last week with an ounce
bottle filled with coarse gold dust, the
result of only two or three hours work
on the placer claim owned by Jackson &
Quinn, on Mary Ann creek, about -four
miles west of Chesaw.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the Republic Reduction company will have
all the ore it can treat and that its capac
/ ity will have to be doubled within &C
days after it starts up, if the process i:
success. All who have any knowledge
of the treatment of ores like those of thin
camp feel assured that the process will
be wholly successful. The last of tn,
big tanks for the mill is here, and it viii
not take long to get it in place, and short
ly thereafter the plant will start up. Thes'
tanks are the largest pieces that have
ever been brought into camp. Eacl
of the tanks weighs over 10000 pounds
Their immense weight made it impossible
to move them until the roads got hard

run, which is valued at about $4,000.
The Cougar is about three miles north
of Granite, and also promises to take
its place among the steady producers
of the camp.
During the entire session of the
United States senate the 10th instant
the Alaskan civil code bill, providing
for the mining of gold along the Alas
kan beach and other matters was I'M
der discussion. The measure was final
ly perfected and the following govern

THAT, subject only to general limita-
lions that may be necessary to exempt
navigation from artificial distractions,
all lands and shoal waters below mean
high tide on the shore, bays and in
lets of Boring sea, within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, shall be sub

precious metals by citizens of the Unit
ed States, persons who have legally
declared their intentions to become
such, under such reasonable rules and
regulations as the miners in organized
mining districts may have heretofore
made, or may hereafter make, govern

for exploration and mining purposes,
until otherwise provided by law"

a preliminary step it was decided to
adopt agriculture as portion of the
course OF study for the next school
year. State Superintendent Nelson
says: kansas is an agricultural State.
The young men of the State should,
therefore, be taught agriculture. How
to keep boys on the farm is now the
great question. BY Identifying farm

Democratic Muddie.

E. A. Sawyer returned on No.
2 Sunday evening from Phoenix
where he had been as a delegate
to the democratic territorial con-
vention. Mr.. Sawyer was chair
man of the compromise commit
tee that couldn't compromise,
ann says that he never wants to
go through another such expe-
rience. He contends that Mr..
Wilson had the better claim to
the nomination on good many
grounds Mr.. Smith could have
had the nomination two years
ago, but declined it. Some say
because Of Col. Brodie's popu-
larity and rough rider notoriety,
and entertained some doubt as
to the final result OF the cam
paign. Mr.. Wilson also had q
majority in the convention out
side of the Maricopa county del
egation, whose seats were con
tested, and Mr.. Sawyer thinks
Oh good grounds. He is also of
the opinion that MIR. Wilson is
the choice of a majority of the
democratic voters of Maricopa
county, aud that the Smith del
egatiOn was secured through
chicanery, by a few who make
politics a business, and who act
on the principle that Fthe end
iustities the means" We hope
the two aspirants for congress

the disagreement in Phoenix will
meet and restore harmony in the
party by mutual concessions and
agreement. Such a course would
