THE DIAMOND DRILL DID 1T
Bored Some Rich Copper Ore From a
Claim at Phoenix, british
Colun bia

Phoenix. B. c., July 22.-Some of the
richest ore ever found in the camp has
been struck by the diamond drill in the
Idaho. owned by the Dominion Copper
company and located in the heart of
Phoenix.
The drill was set at work some dis,
lance from the main Idaho shaft. AMI
when it had penetrated to a depth of 80
feet, almost pure copper ore was
reached. The drill has been kept going
and is now down over 500 feet. Til.
management has kept the find .quie..
and it has only leaked out that it is so
important.
In the meantime the work of drifting
southwark from the $50 foot level of the
Brooklyn has been steadily kept up, with
the idea Of connecting that mine with
the workings of the Idaho. The water
has been so bad III the Idaho shaft thai
work has been suspended there until
connections are made with the Brook
lyn.
The drift from the Brooklyn, now. in
500 feet from the shaft is said to be all
| in ore, greatly adding to the value OF
that already well known property.
The new skips for the Brooklyn ana
| being put in place. They are the first
of the kind ever brought to this camp.
/ The new Brooklyn 80 horse power hoisp
is working with the greatest satisfac
ton.

ings Gazette. Colonel Whitney says that
Carbonado's prospects are extremely
gloomy from coal mining point of
view. The coal company has apparent
ly abandoned the camp for good and it
is doubtful IL any concern will ever
again attempt to operate the mines.
Carbonate was established as coal
mining town four years ago by the late
Marcus Daily and associates. A half mill
lion dollars or more was expended in
mining machinery, buildings and the
sinking of shafts. The venture proved
a losing investment from the start, while
at the same time every known device
in the operating of coal mines has been
given trial without success.

personal interest and is assisting the
state central committee all in his power.
He has already secured the assistance
of Vice President Roosevelt and there
will be other noted republicans from
other states to assist during the cam
paign. 1t might be safely said Mr..
Cummins' majority will run close to
100000 without almost any campaign,
because 1t is almost certain that the
democratic state central committee will
hardly organize, but undoubtedly feels
that the people of the state have de-
sire to hear the issues discussed. The
state central committee will second Mr..
Cummins' desires and very active
campaign will be made, as much so as
tho the democrats had nominated man
who had convictions upon the leading

A NEW sN1PE HUNTER.


There is a new yardman working at
Sundell's restaurant who is wiser today
in one matter If not in all. That is in
the quaint science connected with the
successful hunting of sand snipe. Yes
terday evening his long expressed desire
to go hunting was granted by party
of boys who board and work there, and
hunting they went. When about five
miles from town in the middle of a
stubble field they gave the sportive
yard man large gunny sack and thor
oughly saturated his clothes with frag-
rant (?) aesofedita. Then they in
structed him that he must kneel down,
| holding the mouth of the sack close to
the ground and wide open, while they
| went to scare up the snipe. The pun
gent smell which the asoefedita exhaled
from him would. they said. draw them
into the open sack, then he should close
the sack and eat snipe for dinner to-
morrow. It was il O'clock then. The
yardman appeared in the. restaurant
this morning with an empty sack, and
an empty stomach. but very muddy
clothes and large smell. Which all
goes to prove that the old gag is best
and that sucker is born nowadays
every half minute instead of every min
Lutte, as heretofore held; and the yard
man will be content with pork chops
until snipe are better instructed.
