MINING NOTES.


1t was reported that an important
strike has been made on the Crystal.
near Fort Spokane.
Beaumont, Texas, now has three
gushing oil wells. Its output will equal
that of the Laucas geyser from when
1t is distant about a quarter of a mile.
The wells valve was closed and com
paratively little oil was wasted.
The directors of the Calumet & Hecla
Mining company, at a recent meeting

is progressing satisfactorily and will
soon be completed.
The Northland, adjoining the O. s..

stalled this spring.
At Murray, Idaho, after years of
search the Mother Lode vein has at last
been found south of the big ledge"
and there is rejoicing in many quarters
other than among the Mother Lode
owners.
One Of the largest mining PROPOSE
tions in which Spokane men have been
interested for some time is the organi-
zarion of a company with capital of
$6,000,000 to operate in the Salmon riv-
err district.
The boiler house and shaft house on
the Blue Dragon, recently restaked as
the Republic, near Elk City, Idaho, has

At Wallace, Idaho, report has been
received from the Amador that the
crosscut from the bottom of the shaft
had cut the ledge and four feet of ore
had already been found without getting
across the shoot
The fine claims of the King Gold &
Copper Mining company, nine miles
west of Valley, Wash, are showing
some remarkable values that begin to
prove far more than the original prom
Use of this excellent young copper pros
pect.
w. P. Wells of Moscow, Idaho, has a
model of his gold saving machine, for

At Trenton, N. j., the court of errors
and appeals recently, by a vote of Z to
5, decided to reverse the chancellor's
decision in the American Smelling &
! Refinig company, and the decision or
ders the issuance of an injunction re-
straining the American Smelling & Re-
fining company from taking any fur
Their action in the matter of increasing

Twenty tons of ore from the Dewey
that is expected to net $4,000 is at
Sites, Idaho on the way to the smelt-
err, according to Otto Abeling, the engi-
neer for the Dewey Consolidated COM
pany. The assays from the shipment
have run from 5000 to $1,000 per ton.
This brings the total output from the
mine to 118 tons, which will net the
company fully $4,000. The Dewey
group is on the south fork OF the Clear
water river, about six miles east of
Grangeville.
A smelter is to be installed in the
Seven Devils country, Idaho, and will
be put in on the property Of the Boston
& Seven Devils Copper company, oper-
ating a group of mines on Indian creek.
The smelter is to be built at DEBORAH,
Idaho, and will be for the purpose Of
milling the immense bodies of low
grade ore in that camp. Great interest
is now centering in this rich copper
district. 1t has long been regarded
most promising objective point for a
branch railway from some Of the main
lines penetrating the northwest.
The Rebecca mine at Nespelim,
Wash. has resumed operations. The
present force is small, but it is the in
tention of the management to increase
it in the near future. This probably
makes an important movement in the
history OF the district, as much de-
ponds on the success attained. Atten-
tion has been drawn to this mine on
account of the excellent ore found al
most from the grass roots. 1t was the
first claim in the Nespelim district to
be bonded. The locator, S. Stevenson,
is in charge of the present work.
The Ajax, Finch & Campbell's splendid
property, is in excellent condition. 1t
is probable that this mine will be
