OREGON MINES.

M. F. Bennett, proprietor of the
Tempest mine in the Greenhorns, re-
ports a big strike on that property.
He recently visited the mine and found
the men were throwing $12. 80 rock
over the dump. He had a cross-cut
started in the tunnel and in two feet
encountered another ledge that has
proven to be 10 feet wide with an aver
age value of $26. The tunnel is in $50
feet and several cross-cuts into the par
allel ledge demonstrates it's continuity
and regularity of values. Arrange
ments have been made to ship the best
grade of ore to the smelter and Mr..
Bennett expects to have smelter of
his own before next winter. He is
looking up the smelter question to de-
termine the kind he needs.
Some splendid specimens of ore have
been brought in from the Intermoun-
tain group, in the Greenhorns. They
were taken from the drift on the Cay
use claim, which is in 60 feet from the
end of the $50 foot crosscut tunnel.
There is about three feet of ore in the
ledge that runs above $3.50 to the ton.
There is an average of $12 in gold and
the balance is in silver. Drifting on
the ledge will continue all winter un-
der direction of Edmund Hahn.
Another producer has been added to
the large list in this district by the
starting up of the mill on the Nam
moth, a few miles from Sumpter. The
n1ant concictc of n five foot Rrvan mill
four six-foot concentrators, Hercules
Blake crusher and 25 horse power
engine. The mill will run in ore from
the Belle Baker claim, on which the
big strike was made few months ago
and where they believe they have over
$1,000,000 worth of ore blocked out
The last payment on the purchase
price $4,000, has been made by mana
ger H. S. McCallum, although it was
not due until January. This is one OF
the strongest organizations in the dis
trict. 1t is composed of Boston and 10
we'll capitalists.
The Scandal Tunnel company which
is running through Quebec mountain
reports good progress with their work
The most important project in the

considered the Bonanza lead.
The Empire Mining Company has it,
mill on the Richmond, adjoining the
Bonanza, nearly completed. 1t will
start up about the first of the year.

Kirby, who has just returned from the
head Office of the company in Toronto.
This resumption OF shipments by the
War Eagle is hailed with delight, and
no doubt 1t will in great measure
strengthen the British Columbia min
ing stocks in eastern Canada
Ward Mcdonald has stopped work
for the season on the Transvaal group
on Ten Mile, in SLOGAN. A drift was
run in on one side of the ledge about
100 feet and then a raise was made to
the surface They missed the shaft
from the surface and then a cross-cut
was run from the drift across the
ledge. The oreshoot was caught, ex-
posing a healthy body of mineral. AS
says from this are above the average,
and the property is in a position to be
easily made a shipper The Transvaal
and the U. & |. are the banner group
of the upper Ten Mile.
The most conclusive evidence of the
vastness of the ore bodies that exist
in the Rossland mines is afforded by
, reference to the immense amount OF
money that has been put into mining
machinery during 1900. 1t has been
roughly estimated that one million dol
lars has been spent by the various min
ing companies operating here in i'm
proving and adding to their mechan
ical equipment. The great bulk o.
Rossland ore bodies are low grade, ant
therefore the profit lies in the abilit,
of the management to handle at max
imum tonnage at minimum cost. II
do this everv mechanical device tina
will in any manner reduce the cost o
production must be utilized. Rosslan'
mine managers have readily Recognize
ed this fact, as the installation of n
less than three 40 drill air compress
sors and the largest hoist on Canad
ian quartz mine testify.

MINING NOTES.

The Beaver Creek district, near Pei
ia, Idaho, is showing signs of renewed
activity in the matter of mining. From
the stage station at Dan Harbin's to
the head of Bever creek a wagon road
has been made this year by Mr.. Har-
bin and others and mines that had
been abandoned are being prospected
anew. Blasting is heard all along the
creek, and the old time activity is
showing itself.
In the Fifth district court at Nephi,
Utah, Judge Higgins has decided the
Grand Central-Mammoth apex suit in
favor of the Grand Central Mining
company. The suit has been pending
five weeks. The Grand Central sued
the Mammoth for 100000 for ores ex-
tracted from the Grand Central ground
and the Mammoth filed a cross-com-
plant claiming the disputed territory
and setting up title Hereunder to the
ore that had been extracted and such
as might hereafter be found adjacent
to the point over which the controver
sy arose. The court holds that the vein
which Apexes in the Mammoth claim
leaves the side line of the claim at q
point which does not give the extra
lateral rights sought to be secured by
that company.

Round Trip Rates Advance.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 30.-A few days
ago the passenger agents of the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and the 500
lines met in st. Paul and decided to abol-
ish the $40 round trip homeseekers rates to
the west Now a circular has been issued
by the three big roads stating that on
January l, 1901, round trip homeseekers
tickets viii be issued at a cost of $52
second class. 1t was only after several
meetings had been held that the roads
decided to issue cheap round trip rates
Another reason given for the resumption
of the round trip rates is that rate cut
ting was threatened by one of the line;
which from the first was opposed to abol
ishing the rates.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Two Friends near SLOGAN, COM
menced shipping last week.
A contract for continuing the drift
on the Neepawa, in the SLOGAN divis-
ion, has been let to Frank Griffith, of
SLOGAN. The drift has length of 23O
feet and is thought to be within 10 feet
of the ore-shoot
The December output of the Sullivan
in East Kootenay, in December will be
about 1910 tons, and some of this ore
will have the highest average value yet
found in the mine, according to Chas
H. Wolf, the manager.
Development work is progressing on
the Chicago claim on Observation
mountain, within half a mile of Grand
Forks, B. G.. A lead from % to 80 feet
wide is traceable for 1900 feet on the
surface. A shaft is being sunk upon it
and tunnel run to crosscut IL. Assays
run from So. 80 to $40 in gold, silver
and copper.
The last consignment of machinery
for the Silver King mine, on Toad
mountain, about miles from Nelson.
owned by the Hall Mines & Smelting
company, has been taken to the mine.
The machinery is development plant
and consists of hoists, boilers, pumps,
etc. The work of the entire force at
the mine is concentrated on the install
lation of the plant.
Commencing with the first of the
year, shipments will be resumed at the
War Eagle at Rossland. Such. is the
statement made public by Edmund B.

New York, Jan, IA dispatch from
Havana says:
A constitution for the new republic OF
Cuba will be adopted by the constitutional
convention within the next four weeks
This is the general opinion among dele
gates to the convention and is generally
understood in official circles The five
sections of the convention have been meet
ing together and have been discussing the
projects carefully.
Ali of the delegates say that the conven-
ton is agreed on all the principal features
of the final project, which is being pre-
pared by the central committee, and
there is no doubht that so far as con-
stitution for Cuba is concerned they will
complete their work within the next few
days.
The center of interest here at present
is the character of the constitution this
body will prepare, and in what light it will
be viewed by the congress of the United
States.
When the convention first received pro-
iects from the delegates for consideration
there were three presented. The one
presented Dy 1eneidl huiA AHfoi" III h""
ing the qualifications for president OF the
proposed republic had this provision;
"Any male citizen of Cuba over 40 years
OF age, and who was born in Cuba, will be
eligible to the presidency of the republic
General Maru in his project Incorporated
the provision which has been accepted.
it is that any male citizen over 40 years
of age who was a citizen of Cuba at the
signing of the constitution will be eligible
to the presidency. This provision has
been made to include General Gomez
among those who will be eligible to the
presidency. 1t means that General Maxi
mo Gomez will be the first president OF
the Cuban republic if the constitution is
adopted with this provision and if it is
sanctioned by the congress of the United
States.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet' report for
last week is as follows:
fitting closing to year of excep-
tional and, in some respects, unprece-
denied activity is furnished by the gen.
eral report of large holiday business
in the past week. The best report as
to this sort of trade comes from the
southwestern section, but, except IN
some parts of the spring wheat and
lumber belts of the northwest. salts
factory advices are quite general.
Heavy weight clothing, too, has been
measurably helped for the same rea-
son, but despite good business in the
past two weeks the fur trade has ap-
parently Jagged somewhat owing to
mild weather. In wholesale trade, Dusl-
ness has been in seasonably small pro-
portions, but reports from leading lines
such as iron and steel, shoes and leatn-
err. lumber, glass and spring dry goods
have been encouraging, chiefly, Oh
course, as regards the views entertain
ed as to the outlook rather than as to
new business actually accomplished.
Stocktaking is now in progress and de-
tails as to accepted results will be
forthcoming soon after the close of the
year.
Speculation in cereals has been light
and increases in supplies and large
surplus reports from the Argentine Re-
public have still further depressed the
long interest in wheat. The worlds
wheat supplies are about on par with
those of year ago and American sup
plies are actually smaller. Prices as
rule are steady and changes few. The
conspicuous advances are in refined
petroleum on export account, and some
gain is noted on tin for the week, al
though the close is below the highest
Coffee is fractionally higher. Lard Is
weaker, but by far the largest list oil
staples is unchanged.
! Wool has been quiet but steady.

Republic.
The rapid increase in the width of
the pay-shoot in the Chico is phenom-
inal.
Work is progressing well at the
Morning Glory. Two hrifts are work
ing on the north drift at the second
level.
In the first level below the tunnel
level of the Quilp cross drift has been
started to cut the ledge that was en-
countered by the diamond drills last
summer
At the 300 foot level below the tun-
mel of the Princess Maud drifts are be-
ing driven north and south. The
quartz averages fully four feet wide.
Work has begun on the Trilby. The
claim is located on the San Poll river,
nearly opposite the Golden Harvest,
five miles south of Republic.
e. ]. Delbridge, superintendent of
the California, states that the shaft is
down 40 feet. There is two feet of
solid ore in the bottom.
There is considerable work being
done along the international line in the
vicinity of Nelson, Wash, according to
Richard Finn, a holder in that section.
The contractor on the Admiral Dew
ey reports that the shaft was sunk s
feet last week, showing a marked
change in the appearance or the ore.
The east drift of the Flag Hill is in
about so feet. In the face of the ledge
it is nearly five feet wide. Where the
drift was started the values average
$40 per ton. In 25 feet they had in
creased to $40 per ton, and have stead
lily improved since.
Some good ASSAYS have recently
been obtained from ore from the two
claims owned by the Aeneas Valley
Gold Mining company-the Blue Bird
and Nellie Mae, about IA miles from
the junction of the main San Poll and
West Fork, on a small tributary of the
latter. One of these shows a width oil
five feet between the walls six feet be
low the surface. An average sample
taken from two and a half feet OF
the ledge, which is solid quartz, shows
total value of $3.50. OF this amount
S27.39 was in copper and the rest il
gold, there being but trace of silver
The party that went out recently t
bring in the body of the man fount
dead near the Tom Thumb mine, fount
the man to be Harry Lowrey, as sup

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
BRITISH REGAINING GROUND.
Beers Compelled to Release Prison
ers-President Kruger Said to-
Have Sent Dispatch Saying He
Could Not Get Help From Europe.

London, Dec. 3l.-The general trend of
events in South Africa seem to show that
the British are regaining the ground recent
ly lost.
A special from Naauwpoort reports that
Colonel Delisle assaulted Hertzog, Is miles
west of De Aar, capturing number OF
wagons and releasing the prisoners cap
tured at Philipstown. Lieutenant Colonel
Grenfell forced back General Kritzenger
toward Venterstadt. Both Commands are
in desperate plight ana will proba1iy
never recross the Orange river.
A Standarton dispatch says that 1t is
estimated that 1000 Beers were engaged
in the opera ions i'll northern Natal, hop
ing to break the British line of communi-
cations This plan failed and he Beers
were driven off in each case with more
or less loss, their casualties in the last
day or two numbering 80, while the Brit
ish casualties were slight.
According to a Johannesburg dispatch
of ll.uay's date, General French occu-
pied Ventersdorp that day without oppo-
sition This place, being great tele-
graphic center, has been much used by the
Beers for the dissemination OF informa-
ton.
The possession of Ventersdorp, Richten-
berg and Zeerust gives the British strong
hold upon this part OF the country.
From Carnarvaron, under yesterday
} date, comes a dispatch saying the Beers
occupied Vosberg December u in force
and were reported to be moving on earn
arearon. The loyal field cornet and farm
!, ers have assured the authorities that they
/ will remain loyal and will suppress dis
loyal talk.
1t is creditably reported, according to
dispatch from Newcastle, that Louis Botha
} has informed Commandant Spruight that
: Kruger has sent word that the burgh-
? ers must lay down their arms or continue
+ fighting on their own account, as no sup
t port from Europe can be expected.
