MINING NOTES.

WORK is progressing well on the new
compressor plant of the Morning Min
ing company at the mouth of Grouse
gulch, near Mullan, Idaho.
Portland, Oregon, seems to be, as far
from securing a smelter as ever. The
committee having it in charge have
not made report for several weeks.
The mica mines east of Vollmer.
Idaho, are attracting considerable at
tention. In the last month several
representatives of capital have inspect
ed properties in the district.
force OF men is still at work on the
Moscovite mine, which is one of the
best developed having about 1000 feet
of tunnel, and from which several tons
oil mica have been taken and shipped
this year.
Edward Cayanaugh of Butte, Mont,
miner employed in the Mountain
Iron, walked into a chute on the 1900
foot level. He sustained injuries from
which he died shortly afterward.
William Kerr, president of the Ad-
ans county bank of Hastings, has re-
ceived word from the Denver mint that
gold brick he had purchased from
stranger at Leavenworth, Kan, few
days ago for "13, 900, is made of copper.
1t was reported that the last car
load of ore shipped from the Deer Trail
mine in Cedar Canyon, Wash, had net.
ted the company $4,000. 1t is known
that the mine is making regular ship
ments and that the returns have been
large, but no official returns have been
given out for some time.

REPUBLIC.

The Monarch is looking well in No. l
shaft, which is 80 feet deep.
Stopping is going on in the Quilp tun.
mel a few feet north Of the Wine.
The Chico shaft is going down more
rapidly than for some time, and is
| down 200 feet.
The ore in the north drift on the in.
/ termediate level of the San Poll is bet
ter than it has ever been.
The Butte and Boston double COM
partment shaft is going down at a good
rate. 1t is now 1870 feet deep.
The men working on the Flag Staff
have found some fine ore in the tunnel
that is being driven southeast of the
shaft.
The machinery of the Princess Maud
mas been restored to working shape
and the pumping out of the mine has
begun.
The winze on the Morning Glory has
been timbered and everything is in
readiness for the installation of the
steam hoist and pump.
The Ungga tunnel, Wauconda camp, is
in 165 feet, and is making an average
OF three feet of progress each day. Only
two shifts are employed.
The ore body in the south drift on
the San Poll as we'll as in the Slope in
the intermediate level remains I'M
changed either in width or value.
The Mountain Lion mill drops
stamps with the greatest regularity
During the last 80 days the stamps
have not stopped more than 80 min
utes. The ore maintains it's value
with surprising regularity.
A station is being cut on the shaft of
the Tom Thumb and when it is COM
pleted drifting will begin on the ledge
that was recently struck in the shaft.
The compressor plant is being placed
as rapidly as possible. 1t is probable
that all the machinery will not be in
complete working order much before
July /.
The shaft on the Republic is being
sunk at rather rapid rate, and it is
down about 20 feet The mill is going
forward at a wonderfully rapid rate.
There is still much to do before it will
be ready to run. There is reason to be-
lleve that about August l it will be so
far completed that much of the ma
chinery will be ready to run, and it is
by no means improbable that the entire
plant Will be in operation at that time.

quartz is being brought in to be as
sayed. Sumpter is becoming a great
mining center and is attracting the at
tentlon of many eastern capitalists
looking for chances for investment.
Inquiries are received almost every day
from eastern men in regard to the
mines in this section, and many rep
resentatives of capital have been out
to look at the mines.
Surrounding Sumpter within a ra-
dius of 20 miles are over 1000 quartz
locations, 25 of which are large pro-
ducers and 200 others which have over
$4,000 worth of development work done
on them. Within the same radius are
perhaps $50 placer mines that are
worked annually and pay well. Be-
sides these mines copper has been To-
Gated and mined in large amounts.
In the Golconda mine, one of the
richest in this section, ore running as
high as $4,000 per ton in gold has been
taken out. Other regular producers of
this section are the Columbia, Cougar.
Bonanza, Red Boy, North Pole, Badger.
Union Companion, hex, Baisley, Elk
horn, Virtue and Conner Creek, which
together yield annually over 81 500 900.
There are besides these mines ten ir-
regular producing mines that average
about $4,000 year, and several new
producers that show an output of about
100000 per month, or s1,2OO,000 per
annum.
