SWIFTWATER BILLS PLANS.
He and j. w. Boyle Have a Scheme
for Hydraulic Mining In the
KlOndfke.

= ]. w. Boyle, who arrived from Dawson
recently, tells of mining operations in
progress in the Klondike He says he
and w. c. Gates. better known as Swift
Water Bill" are promoting one of the
largest hydraulic ventures undertaken in
the district.
Boyle says he and Gates have a con-
cession for working a strip of ground
1000 feet wide UP and down Quartz creek
for two and half miles. Boyle states
that all this ground contains pay gravel
On one of the bench claims, he says, they
sunk a prospect hole to a depth of 104
feet. finding ground which he says will
pay well for handling by the hydraulic
process from the surface down. He
claims that their plant includes power
to run eight 2la-inch monitors. They
also expect, he says. to run sawmill
To purchase machinery Boyle reports to
be his mission in the states.
Boyle says that Alex. Mcdonald is
working fifty men on No 36 above on
Sulphur. Though the claim is considered
winter diggings,' he has been able,
through the use Of steam pipes. in the
tanks. to sluice all winter. The returns
are said to have been satisfactory.

The Palouse River Lumber Company,
of Palouse, in Eastern Washington, has
now in full operation five big logging
camps. Four of these camps have been
in operation greater part of the winter
A large number of logs have been pre-
pared and the drive this spring. it is said
by e. ]. Tremble, who has just returned
from there, will be the largest in the
history of the industry.
Throughout the whole section, he says,
there is a great activity among the mills,
and the prospects are that the cut this
season will exceed that of any previous
year.
There was a shortage of labor during
the winter, which. however, no longer
exists.

The lumber and single business OF this
state for 1899 surpassed that of any former
year, and astonished the authorities who
wer looking only for a fair gain over 1885,
In the total lumber shipments alone there
was a gain in the one year of 112000.OOO
feet, or q per cent. while In the shingle
shipments there was a growth of SIS, .0O0
or more than 20 per cent. In the total rail
shipments Of lumber and shingles for the
year there was a growth of S,15S carloads,
the total sent out last year being IN,
against 30, 123 for 1898. The increase OF lum-
Der shipments by water amounted to 40

of shingles by water 7,7l5,o0o, and by rail-
