Census Figures Complete.

Washington, Oct 29-The work OF
counting the inhabitants of the United
States is practically completed by the
census bureau and this week Director
Merriam will announce the population of
the country. His statement, however,
will be subject to some slight revision. All
the returns from Alaska are not yet in and
the returns from the American sailors and
soldiers serving in the Philippines and else
where abroad are not yet complete. These
figures will be estimated. The figures for
the states and territories will be official.
The work of the present census has pro-
ceeded upon a system materially different
from the last census. The population UNI
der the last census was a hand count and
was completed Thanksgiving day, 1890.
The work of punching the individual
cards containing individual statistics was
not begun until March, 1891, and not
completed until September, 1891. The
present count has proceeded as each card
has been punched, so that now with the
completion of the count the individual
statistics as punched in the cards are
complete. The other statistics can now
be ground out mechanically from the
punched cards. After the total popula-
ton and the population by states and ter
ritories are announced next week the
bulletins showing the population of states
and territories by minor civil divisions
will be issued as soon as tabulated.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 30.-The east
bound Northern Pacific passenger train
was wrecked eight miles east of Livings-
ton, Mont, about midnight by broken
rail. Eight persons were killed and Fl
wounded.
Among those killed were William Rel
frath, express agent at Billings; Dr.. Haw-
thorne and Gus Diedrich of Livingston, the
two Misses Tracy of Bozeman and three
others whose names cannot be learned.
Among the badly injured was Sheriff
Hubbard of Yellowstone county, whose
legs were cut off.
Details of the accident are meager.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
of the connecting rods of the switch at
Dehart. The train was making up lost
time and when the engine struck the
switch its weight and the momentum OF
the cars behind it caused the rails to
spread, allowing the smoking car. and one
other to leave the track and fall over on
their sides.

MINES AND MINING NEWS

"A Prosperous Year Is Predicted
Mining Notes and Personals.

At Brewster, Wash, the American
Flag Gold Mining company, operating
the American Flag property on Goat
creek. is making arrangements for
placing a twenty-stamp mill, which
will be set up during the winter. This
mine is in the Methow district, near
Winthrop, and is forty-one miles from
Brewster, the supplying and shipping
point. A tunnel has been driven in a
distance of about 1000 feet, which has
crossed several good lodges and open
ed up large body of ore. In connec-
tion with the stamp mill will be a sys-
tenn of Burleigh drills, employed on
the main tunnel and on drifts, that will
enable the company to turn out i'm
mense quantities of ore. Near the
American Flag is the Oriental mine
owned by ]. d. F'lack, on which large
ore bodies have been opened and which
will also soon be made an active mill
| ing property. These mines are NORTH
of the Methow and thirty miles from
Slate creek, where recently so mucf
work has been going on, and their be
ing converted by process of develop
ment into producers will add material
ly to the Importance of the distric
next year.

The Hercules mine lis a very promis-
ing property, situated about 300 feet
west of the Republic mine. The vein |
on this property was covered with de
bris, and it was through some float
rock of excellent character that it was
discovered.
There is some good looking quartz
coming out of the Silver Dollar. The
claim lies ON the east side of Mud lake,
besween the Trade Dollar and Knob
Hill. The shaft is about 80 feet deep.
From the bottom drift has been run
about rs feet.
The San Juan hoisting is done with
horse and whip. The shaft is down
$50 feet, and is dry at the bottom. The
vein wall is exposed and some punches
Of quartz have been developed. A
drift will be run and then a crosscut
will be driven to ascertain the nature
and width of the vein.
James F. Vile, who recently arrived
in Republic, announced a new discov-
cry, made by H. M. Jaeger and himself
in the Deep creek country, 10 miles
northeast of Colville, Stevens county,
of an ore vein six feet in width, that
samples one and one-half ounces gold
and Is ounces silver per ton, with 26
per cent lead. The prospect lies north
of the Metaline trail, and there is no
other of any kind within six or seven
miles of it,
The crushing machinery in the Re-
public mill is a great success and more
than meets the expectations of Expert
d. G. Jackling. 1t will take between
2500 and 5000 tons to fill tine ore bins
and the roasters will not all be started
until the bins are full. The first
rooster will be in operation Sunday
and others will follow at intervals un.
til all are running. Tests made OF
the ore show saving of SO per cent
from s25 ore. The higher grade ore
will return still higher percentage
Flag Hill mine occupies a prominent
elevation, nearly midway between the
Quilp and Morning Glory mines, and
covers three separate veins, which
strike in different directions, and eacf
of them converging towards common
! center. The lower one trends alons
the base of the hill, striking about 81
degrees east of north, about five feet il
width. 1t is evidently the stronges
of the three veins, but has not been de
veloped sufficiently to ascertain its ac
tual width. It's average value, wher,
exposed, is about $15.25 per ton.
