The tearing down of the Hienze re-
finery at Trail B. c., is completed. The
structure was removed to make room
for the new lead furnaces for the smell
ter. The last part to come down was
the big stone chimney, which was 90
feet high.
During August the ore shipments
over the Kaslo G. Slocum railway to
Kaslo totaled over 1000 tons, of which
more than half came from the White
water mine to the ore sampler. The
Payne sent to San Francisco 210 tons
and also exported via Sandon about
the same amount. The Rambler-Car-
iboo forwarded to the smelter at Ever
EFT 104 tons while the American Boy
kept up its average by shipping AZ
tons. The Reco is again among the
shippers, having sent to the Kootenay
Ore company 10 tons within the past
few days.
The suit of the Center Star versus
the Iron Mask, which has been pending
before the courts for the past two
years, which was partially tried at
considerable cost for experts, etc, be-
fore Justice Walkem of the supreme
court about a year ago, has been set
tied.
During the last month or two many
substantial ard important improve
ments have been going on around the
Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines at
Phoenix, while development and the
breaking down of thousands of tons
of gold-copper ore has been continuous
ly conducted underground. The chan
ges on the surface have all been of a
character that will tend to reduce the
cost of ore-handling to the lowest pos
sible figure.
Ore of an excellent grade has been
found on the New St Elmo at Ross
land. The drift on me south vein is
in 225 feet. In this drift the ore body
is four feet wide and the values are
better than they ever have been, run
ming up to $1,000 in gold and silver
alone to the ton. The ore is that char.
acteristiC of the camp, ChalCopyrite and
pyrrhotite, with a quartz gangue. The
ore which is being taken out is being
piled up on the dump for shipping.
The face of the south drift from which
this ore is being taken, has a vertical
depth OF 4v0 feet.
The second furnace at the CRANKY
smelter will be blown in as soon as the
Canadian Pacific provides additional
ore cars. Small shipments have been
made by the Winnipeg, AtDelstan and
Gold Eagle mines. The plant continues
to run very smoothly. Although the fur
mace now in operation has a guaran-
teed capacity of only 25O tons per day
! it handles an average of 800 tons per
day. A series of assays of the matte
is made daily. Thus far they give an
average of one per cent more values
than the returns from a similar series
of assays of the ore.

MINING NOTES.

The construction of another smelt-
ing plant at Northport is in contem-
plation.
A second carload of ore from the
Lakeview, in Palmer Mountain dis
riot, was made last week
The ledge has been found on the Don
oboe in Keller camp. The ore is gale
ma, and indications point to a large
body of it.
A big new pump for the Peacock
mine at Cuprum, IGahO is being in
stalled. It's capacity is about 800 gal
Ions per minute.
The country around Iron creek, on
the South Half, where a recent strike
was made, is reported to be full of
prospectors and much ground is being
staked
Arrangements are under way for a
large display of mining machinery at
An ore exhibit has been promised from
Boise, Idaho, for the mineral depart
ment.
Considerable activity is reported
from Kruger mountain, in the north
eastern part of Okanogan county. Sew
eral good strikes have been made
Most of the are is copper-gold, though
there is some silver-lead and a little
free milling.
Northport will probably have anoth-
er shipper soon in the Galena Queen
This is a promising property that lies
on the mountain just back of Stod-
dard's ranch and is owned by Messrs.
Croft, Rose, McGinty and Chris Adams,
all of NOrthport.
A strike of Importance is reported
in the Rainbow, a comparatively young
property that adjoins the Conjecture,
near Lakeview, on Lake Pend dor
ellie, Idaho. The company has been
driving a tunnel to tap an ore shoot
500 feet below a short shaft at the sum-
nit of hill According to advices re-
ceiyed, about 800 feet in a six-inch
streak of very rich silver ore has been
encountered and it was strengthening
with progress in a way that gave ex-
cellent promise of continuity.
A deal was recently made by which
William Williams and John Perglass
of Milwaukee undertake to develop the
Wonderful group on Stevens peak, Ida
no, securing a working bond from the
owners for $4,000. This is the group
on which Is feet of galena was struck
a few weeks ago, when ;round sluicing
hunting for the location of the ledge
where it crossed a creek. SINCE then
ore has also been found in another To-.
cation. The group includes three
claims, the Wonderful, Orc Elmo and
Aguinaldo.
! The Standard Mining company at
Wallace, Idaho is putting in a new
air compressor and electric plant at
the mine. The foundation is complet-

REPUBLIC.

The record of development on the
mines in Republic camp in August was
the smallest for two years. In some
instances half the force was laid off.
The Ben Hur closed down totally for
an indefinite period. No ore was stop
ed on the San Poll, Black Tail or Quilp.
Some of the mines, in fact most of
them, will do no more than a little de-
velOpment work until some machinery
is in operation for crushing custom
ores. The Tom Thumb worked but a
small part of the month on account of
installing machinery. The Republic
did 10 feet of drifting south from the
location of the 150-foot Wine on the
600-foot level during the month of Aug
ust. No other work was done in the
mine. Ninety feet of crosScut tunnel
was the record of the Rebate for the
month. There was 20 feet of double
compartment shaft sunk on the Butte
& Boston and 20 feet of crosscut run
from the 250-foot level. The Chico
ran 80 feet of drift south from the To-
cation of the 2S5-foot shaft. On the
San Poll there was 60 feet of develop
ment work done. About 50 feet of
crosscut was driven on the Gold
Lelge last month. There was but 80 feet
of tunnel driven on the Golden Har-
vest during the month. The Quilp
takes the first rank in the development
for the month of August About 80
feet of raise and winze was completed
on the Ben Hur. No work whatever
was done after the middle Of the month.
The shaft on he San Juan is being
timbered and enlarged. When this
work has been finished the shaft will
be sunk an additional 100 feet to $50
run west from the 260-foot level of the
Butte G. Boston is in 20 feet. 1t will
probably take 100 feet of crosSCut to
reach the ledge. AS the rock is hard
not more than three feet will be driv-
en- each "a hours. The Chico is still
south from the bottom Of the 2S5-foot
level. Work is progressing favOrably
on the Morning Glory. Drifts are be-
ing run north and south on the 200
foot level of the Princess Maud. The
south drift is in 46 feet and the north
SO feet. The ore averages IL feet
in width and is of good grade. The
boiler on the Tom Thumb has been re-
paired Work of development is going
on from the 2S5-foot level. At the
point where the crosscut from the
shaft passes through the west ledge it
is 10 feet wide and carries the same
grade of ore that was found on the
160-foot level. The California, on
OBrian creek, is producing fine ore.
Some of it assays from $3.50 to $500
per ton. A shipment of eight tons has
been made to the Grand Forks smelter.
There has been force of five men
working on the Flag Hill for some time.
The superintendent states that good
progress is being made in the shaft.
The mines on Lambert creek are at
tracing an increasing part of public
attention. The first mine in the camp
that came into prominence was the
Belcher. 1t was among the first on the
reservation to begin development and
has continued uninterruptedly. 1t
is a most promising property. The
ore varies greatly in value, ranging
from $40 to $50 in gold

Five Thousand Lives Lost.

Houston. sept. l3.--Order has begun to
take the place of the chaos which has
leened in Galveston since Saturdays ter
rible storm, and citizens are recovering
from the stupefaction OF their sudden dis
aster. All conservative estimates have
been shattered by the estimate of Mayor
Jones of Galveston and other prominent
and conservative men, who i'll a statement
to the Associated Press declared that 5000
deaths will result from the storm. Over
100 lives were lost at other points in Texas.
Ten millions of dollars, it is said will cover
Galyeeton's property loss, while half as
much more is the estimate of that of the
remainder Of the state.
Late advices say 700 human bodies have
been weighted and sunk at sea-some
identified, but more going to their graves
unknown.
Martial law prevails and vandalism is
being brought to a sudden check. Sick
ening details of the work OF ghouls in
mutilating and robbing the dead have
been received and half hundred of these
men have paid the penalty for their crime
by sudden death.
The water is now reported as adequate
and thereby one of the worst features of
the situation is eliminated for provisions
are being poured into the stricken city by
car loads.
Many deaths are resulting from the una
yoidable neglect and the sanitary condition,
and superhuman efforts are being made TO
clear up the mass of debris, which bids
fair to breed pestilence.
