OREGON MINES.

NJ. f. Bennett, proprietor of the
Tempest mine in the Greenhorns, re-
ports big strike on that property
He recently visited the mine and found
the men were throwing $12 90 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 SIG, The tunnel is in $50
feet and several cross-cuts into the par
allel ledge demonstrates its 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 a 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 Mann
moth, few miles from Sumpter. The
plant consists of five foot Bryan mill
four siX-fOot concentrators, Hercules
Blake crusher, and a 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
S1000,000 worth of ore blocked out
The last payment on the purchase
price $4,000. has been made by mana
ger H. S. McCallum, although ii was
not due until January This is one of
the strongest organizations in the dis
trict. 1t is composed of Boston and Lo-
well capitalists.
The Scandal Tunnel company which
is running through Quebec mountain,
reports good progress with their work.
The most important project in the
Bonanza district is the running of the
tunnel on the Keystone Belle and Gold
Boy consolidated claims to tap what is
considered the Bonanza lead.
The Empire Mining Company has its
mill on the Richmond, adjoining the
Bonanza, nearly completed. 1t will
start up about the first of the year.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstree report for
last week is as follows:
A fitting closing to a 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 an.
parently Jagged somewhat owing to
mild weather. In wholesale trade, bust.
ness has been in seasonably small pro.
portions, but reports from leading lines
such as iron and steel, shoes and leath.
err, lumber, glass and spring dry goods
have been encouraging, chiefly, of
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-
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
N in xrrhn -,
wheat supplies are about on par with
those of year ago and American sup
plies are actually smaller. Prices as
a 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 of
staples is unchanged
Wool has been quiet but steady.
Wheat (including tlour) shipments
for the week aggregate 4011, -O5 bush
els, against 4,123, $50 last week and g.
610,557 bushels in 1899. From July 1
to date this season wheat exports are
94,151,455 bushels, against 103, 1894 1913
last season and 121, 52S, 709 in 189S-99.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number only 213,

Canadian failures for the week num-
Der Is against 10 last week, % in this

RRIrIsH 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 230
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 mile of Grand
Forks, B. C. 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 crosseut IL. Assays
run from 50. 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 G Smelling
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.
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 It will in great measure
strengthen the British Columbia min
ing stocks in eastern Canada.

o. r.. a N. on Upper Snake River.

The o. r. & N. company has placed
the steamer Norma in the upper Snake
river traffic The route extends from
Lewiston to Wild Goose rapids, dis
lance of SO miles, and is the route for
which the steamer j. M. Hannaford
was brought out by the Northern Pa
cific about a month ago and later with
drawn. The traffic of the upper Snake
river consists of about 100000 bushels
of wheat, besides a large amount of
miners and mining supplies. Arrange
ments are also being made to ship cop
per ore from the mouth of the Grand
Ronde river. Freight from the upper
Snake river will be transferred at this
place to the steamers Lewiston and
Spokane which ply between Riparia
and Lewiston. 1t is believed that the
Norma, which is superior in power to
any other boat on the Snake river, will
be sent further UP the river where large
quantities of ore in sacks await ship
ment.

Were Buried Alive.

Detroit, Mich. Jan IA special to the
News from Champion, Mich, says that
by a cavein of the Champion mine John
Horngreen and George Williams, who
were picking ore on the surface, were
buried. There bodies will not be recov-
cred. The shafthouse also dropped into
the workings. The dryhouse is under
mined and may go down, as the surface Is
still caving.

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 800 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. J. Delbridge, superintendent of
the California, states that the shaft is
down lao 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, 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 Butte & Boston is still raising a
shaft from the 260 foot level to con-
meet with the old shaft. Only one shift
can be worked, but about 10 feet a
week is made. Work has been resum-
ed on the south drift.
The east drift of the Flag Hill is in
about SO feet. In the face of the ledge
1t 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.
The party that went out recently to
bring in the body of the man found
dead near the Tom Thumb mine, found
the man to be Harry Lowrey. as sup
posed. He left Bodie one week ago
last Tuesday for Republic, coming by
way of the trail He was caught in a
terrible snow and wind storm, and he
took blind trail and soon became lost.
In some manner he lost his horse,
which has not yet been found. When
the searching party reached the body
the dog stood off the crowd for some
time, but after being fed permitted the
men to reach his dead master. The
animal is wasted to almost shadow,
showing he has been without food for
the entire 10 days. Lowrey had evil
IDENTIFY either got off his horse to find
the trail or was thrown and walked I'M
til exhausted and sat down by a tree
and never rose again. He had done
much walking, as his overshoes were
worne out. There were a few bruises
on his arms and legs, presumably
caused by falling over fallen trees.
His watch and pin we're on his person,
precluding any suspicion of foul play.
