claims that are attracting considera-
BILE attention among monied men of
the east. The properties are located
about thirty miles south of this city,
two and one-half miles north of Silver

on the Bull Domingo fats. The body

ing the expenditure of considerable
sum of money in the development of
the same. Mr.. Hammond is private
secretary to the Auditor General of
Michigan; he also represents the
Inter Ocean Mountain and Milling
Company of Boise City. Idaho.
These favorable reports will un-
doubtedly lead to the opening up of
the entire district lying between this
city and Silver Cliff, as it is known
to contain pay bodies Of gold, silver

deal to Canon City.

HIGH PRICES FOR LUMBER.
MANUFACTURERS LIKELY To LOSE ON
THEIR ESTIMATES FOR LOGS.

Bangor Me- April 10 (SpeciaD.-Unless there is
to be a return this year of the high prices that
prevailed in the spruce lumber market in the fall
OF 1899 IL is difficult to how many of the lunl-
ber manufacturers on the Penobscot River are TO
paying the highest prices ever known for logs and
the entire cut on the river has been taken up,
the last sales involving many millions of feet
having been at SIS thousand, while the few logs
remaining unsold held the unprecedented
price of SIG. Spruce randoms quoted at
Sl6 SIS 80 a thousand in New-York, which is
equal. with freight and other charges deducted 70
about s2 50 to SIS in Bangor. less than the cost
of the logs. and yet the lumber manufacturers. in
competition with the pulp manufacturers. have
been rushing into the market and paying the high
prices asked for logs trusting to boom in lumber
later
While there seems to be a general expectancy
that lumber prices will advance this summer to a
fair figure, there is nothing. far appears,
warrant the belief that anything approaching
the prices of 1899 will be reached. In the latter
part of that year spruce randoms went up to s93
and S2i thousand in New-York. and the lumber
manufacturers made money hand fist. but
then slump. from which the market has
never fully recovered. and the big prices
expected to return. IL is struggle between the
mills and the pulp mills for logs. The pulp
mills afford TO pay more than the mills.
for there is more profit in pulpmaking than there
IS in lumber saving The pulp men safe in
paying SIS a thousand for logs. but the lunbermen
taking chances. The men who have logs
sell are pocketng big money and watching with
satisfaction the competition among their customers
There will be nearly two hundred million feet of
logs come down the river this year. of which the
pulp mills control one-half. Possibly the
drives may be hung up and that would further
complcate the situation.
