Quoting the ceremony. The sermon

The CRANKY smelter is adjacent to
Grand Forks, on the north fork of the
Kettle river. Construction was begun
in June of SO, and the smelter is now
ready to treat ore. 1t is expected that
it will blow in within the next thirty
days. 1t has a capacity of 500 tons per
day.
Despite the hardship that the fire at
Sandon inflicted on the SLOGAN mining
town, it is reasonable to declare that in
the end it will turn out to be a good
thing.
The announcement has been made
that the Jumbo, at Rossland, is to COM
mence shipping as soon as a tramway
can be built. The tramway will be
about 500 feet in length, and will be
of the gravity type, with three tracks,
switch in the center and a drum upon
which the cable will run.
The Mountain View, in Summit
camp, and Immediately adjoining the
shipping B. G. mine, was bonded last
October to John Dorsey and associates
for $4,000, who Immediately formed
the Mountain View Copper Company,
Limited, to develop the property. The
first payment was promptly made, and
when the second came due, both it and
the third were made at the Merchants
Bank of Halifax in Grand Forks, leav.
ing only the last conditional payment
to be made to complete the terms OF the
bond.
Shipping will commence Immediately

on the Sullivan, in East Kootenay. At
present ore has to be hauled by wagons
from the mine to the siding. about two
and half miles, but the company ex-
poets to put a tramway in before long,
after thorough tests have been made
along the lines at present planned.
There are big plans ahead, but the COM
mencement of regular shipments is
what is being worked for now. There
is large body of ore on the dump
ready to be sent out, and the mine is
turning out more with regularity. Fiji
teen men have been at work in the
mine all winter, and they have it in ex-
cellent shape for shipping.
Several important strikes were made
last week in the vicinity of Ymir camp.
The May Blossom claim is one from
which some remarkable specimens of
ore have been brought to town. This
property lies between Quartz and Boul-
der creeks, about two and half miles
from Ymir.
Over 1000 tons of concentrates have
been shipped from Moyie since the new
st. Eugene concentration was started
up The 7-drill air compressor which
was formerly at the Lake Shore mine
is being run good portion of the time
i'll connection with the 10-drill compress
sor. The payroll of the ST. Eugene
Consolidated Mining Company for the
month of April was SIS 900.
Now that all doubt has been set at
rest as to the intentions of the c. P. r.
to go on with the Lardo railway con-
struction, miners and prospectors are
setting their faces toward that district
of big surface showings. They have
been making anxious inquiries as to
whether the representatives of capital
lists are expected in Kaslo this season,
because the capitalist and the miner
must work together. The one can do
little good without the other in prov
ince like British Columbia. Once the
Lardo gets railway communication
there is little need to fear that capital
will stay away.
The announcement of the sale of a
controlling interest in the Rossland
Giant is confirmed, and an effort of the
new owners to secure what remained in
small amounts on the market caused
one of the most sensational days of the
year on the Spokane boards and in min
ing circles generally.

From an inside source the following
results of the test runs of the Mountain
Lion have bee secured. Hitherto no
information has been given out for
publication regarding the results of
these tests, but it was stated that they
were highly satisfactory The actual
results of the tests, as given in the Of
fetal returns, it is claimed, show that
the mill is doing all, If not more, than
was hoped from it.
The expense of milling is said to be
about 50 per ton and of mining posi-
bly, from 81 to 81 per ton, giving a net
gain of from Sc to 81 per ton. Reports
have been that the Mountain Lion has
large quantities of $40 and $50 ore, so
that the profit can be very largely in.

Superintendent Maurice Downey
states that the double compartment

1t is probable that work will be re-

in depth, and it is estimated that the
shaft will have to be sunk to at least
$50 feet before the ledge is cut by the
shaft. At the 200-foot level a drift was
run west for about 60 feet, where the
ledge was struck. 1t was found to be
25 feet wide and carried uniform values
high enough to induce the company to
put on an extensive plant.

The deepest bore in the world, says
Mr.. c. Rundel, in late communica-
ton to the Industrial society of Null
house, is one of 6,571 feet below the
surface of the soil, made at Parnscho-
WITT, near Hybrick, Upper Silesia. The
previous record for depth was the
6,733-foot hole drilled some years ago
at Schladeback, near Leipsig.

MINING NOTES.

R. K. Neill, the Spokane mining man,
practically purchased the water power
at Post Falls, Idaho. Mr. Neill is the
promoter of an enterprise that may
make Post Falls thriving town in the
near future. The water power in
cluded in these negotiations comprises
all but 1900 horse power out of the
1900 horse power supposed to be in
the river. The proposition is to erect
a 100000 electric power plant at Post
Falls to furnish power for the opera
ton of the mines in the Occur d'Alene
country. Wires will be strung for 65
miles, or as far as the town of Burke,
Idaho. By this plan some of the largest
mines in the Occur d'Alenes will be
operated by electricity. This is prob
ably the largest enterprise ever under
taken by Spokane capital and as many
of the most wealthy mining men in
this city are interested in the PROPOSE
ton its success is assured.
Furnace No. has been blown at the
Northport smelter. The other two fur
naces will follow as quickly as is ex-
pedient Ore is coming down from the
mine at Rossland at the rate of over
500 tons daily, and a continuous run
is looked for the coming year. Men
are being put to work daily and the
city is taking on a more prosperous
look than it has for some time.
The Tiger-Poorman at Burke, Idaho,
is temporarily closed down, while
lot of retimbering is being done on the
shaft. The work is already completed
far enough down that few men are
working on the upper levels, but it will
be two or three weeks before the full
force will be back to work and all the
levels running.
The shaft in the Amador, on Iron
mountain, is showing better ore than
ever A considerable part of it Is of a
shipping grade, and the quality is i'm
proving with every shot. 1t will be
only short time before mill will be
on the ground For this reason little
time is spent in sorting the ore, except
where there are large chunks of ship
ping ore.
Three men and a cook have left Wal
lace with mining supplies to work the
Montana Summit group, about five
miles from Burke, on the Idaho side
OF the summit. The claim has already
received some development.
A party of men interested in Stevens
Peak properties was up there from Wal
lace the first of last week looking out
a route for wagon road to be built in
there. They went from Mullan and
found a good grade, over which the
Morning Mining Company already has
a road about two miles, or nearly half
way.

versed the judgment of the second dis |

The relief force entered Mafeking unop-

reached Marian river, 20 miles south of
