An Iron Mountain dispatch states
that plans have been prepared for
extensive improvements to the
hydraulic works at Quinnesec Falls,
which were destroyed by fire re

an expenditure of over 800, 900 at
the falls alone. The plans contem.

tional horse power. The new ar
rangement of the works will pro-
vide for two additional turbines .of
5000 horse power each. The new
power will be used in the general
ing OF electric power for the opera
ton of the machinery at the Aragon

Superintendent Thatcher of the Bo-
nanza came down with the June clean
up. having four guards along. 1t was
all two men could do to lift the pre-
cious stuff, as the value was about $7O,-
600.
e. H. Godfry of the Red Boy came in
with the June clean up, amounting to
about $4,000.
The camp is fast filling up with pros
pectors and miners from surrounding
sections, and many specimens from
new finds are being exhibited. The dis
covery of tellurium ore in the Norman
basin and the Greenhorn sections, and
the fine specimens of copper form the
Pueblo mountains are the principal
finds.
j. H. Cradlebaugh, operating the
Double Eagle in Quartz gulch, has a
three foot ledge, IA inches of which run
several thousand dollars to the ton.
w. II. Bush, mining man of Salt
Lake, has returned from an inspection
OF the Morning Star mine in Norman
basin. While there he discovered that
the owners of the property were throw
ing tulleride ore over the dump, under
the supposition 1t was black iron. Sew
eral assays have been made, averaging
about $4,000 to the ton.
G. W. Garfield, who has been In the
Pueblo mountain country for several
months, brought in some very fine spec
linens of copper ore, carrying good val
ues in gold. The district is a new one,
near the Nevada state line, and nothing
but prospecting work has been done.

cuttings station.
A contract has been let to carry the

has been met.

The situation at the Princess Maud
remains unchanged. Good progress is
being made on the shaft. which is 72
feet below the 800 foot level. The
ledge is four feet wide.
The recent tests made of the ore from
the Tom Thumb and Ben Hur mines
have made these properties of much
more value. Over IS to the ton can
now be saved on the ore, and the ship
ments from both properties will now
net the owners that additional amount.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

All mines in Rossland camp have
started work.
A crew of ore sorters went to work at
the Homestake mine near Rossland and
within a few days the mine will make
a shipment to the Trail smelter.
AT Rossland the Iron Mask has taken
on a new lease of life, and is producing
on a much larger scale than for some
time.
According to Carl Davis, superin-
tendent of the War Eagle-Center Star
mines at Rossland, there has been a
great gain both to the miners and to
the mine companies through the adop-
tion of the contract system for mining
in that camp.
Manager Richie of the Mt. Con. has
arrived in Sandon from England and
has let contract to drive 80 feet on the
lead. He will work three shifts in or
der to prove the property as soon as
possible. The Canadian group has lain
idle for nearly two years, but the man
ager, Mr.. Brandon, has let a contract
for 100 feet to John Tingling, with pos
sibly more to follow.
The CRANKY smelter at Grand Forks
makes treatment charge of from $3.50
to $3.50 per ton on copper ores. The
charge varies in accordance with f1ux-
ing quality and other characteristics of
the ore. The company pays 70 per cent
of the wet assay value of the copper,
at the New York price for electrolitic
copper, less 512 cents per pound. There
is toll of per cent ON gold, at $40
per ounce.
At a special meeting of the Imperial
Syndicate Development company at
Nelson an offer was accepted from the
London & B. G. Goldfields company of
S25O,000 for property on Lexington
mountain in the Lardeau district. 1t
consists Of the Eva and the Imperial
group, 10 claims in all. The property
carries free gold and was the first prop
erty in that district discovered giving
indications of gold values.
| Donald McPhail has made a magnificent
strike of six inches of black sulphides of
iron at the Glance group on Bear lake.
1t Is group on which McPhail Bros.
spent $500. d. McPhail found the vein
in two days. 1t assays 1860 ounces in
silver, value $47l6. Mr.. McPhail is a
well known expert and sold the celebrated
Whitewater property to Barbarian"
Brown.
Next to the LIE Roi the st. Eugene mine
in East Kootenay must rank as the larg-
est producer in British Columbia. This
is the property in which John A. Finch
of Spokane and James Cronin are inter
ested. Its total product during last year
amounted to about 100000 ounces of sill
yer and 2l,OO0O00 pounds of lead, of
total value of over 81, 100000.

July 4th, was won by Patterson and
Cummings, with 30N inches.
The great Kendall group, in Fergus
county. Montana, controlled by Finch
& Campbell, is to have one of the finest
plants in the west.
In conservative Butte, the city that
never had boom and requires none,
the normal condition prevails in the
mining industry.
Nevada state is at the present time
attracting much attention as field for
mining investments. 1t Is equally a
good field for the prosepctor.
The ore body has been reached In the
