many thousands of dollars worth of ore
have been stolen from several of the

large scale.
J. NJ. Harris, president and general
manager Of the Reco Mining and Mill

pioneer sand picturesque figures of the
SLOGAN, says, in speaking of the condi-
ton of the mine sin the silver-lead belt
around Sandon: The Reco never had
as large a showing Of ore as at present.
From the deepest workings of the
mine, which are about 500 feet from
the surface, about $50 tons of ore of a
pay grade is being extracted each
month, and part of this is being sent
to the Trail and the rest to the Selby
Smelling Works, near San Francisco,
Cal.
There are 80 men at work in the
Reco. All the mines being operated in
the vicinity of SandOn have as good
| showings as ever in their history, but
the low price of lead, the high smelling

and transportation charges, the lack of
confidence in the government and other
drawbacks, have a tendency to discour-
age the mine operators.
Among the mines included in those
which are looking well are the Last
Chance, Rambler-Cariboo, Goodenough,
Silverton, Trade Dollar and others.
The mine owners are only getting 81 80
less 10 per cent, per 1000 pounds, for
their lead.
THE lead refinery should be of help
to the silver-lead miners, provided it is
built by parties who will compete with
the trust, and provided it does not fall
into the hands of the trust. AS a mat
ter of fact, the higher grade properties
alone of the SLOGAN are being operated
at a small profit, while those of lower
grade are shut down, awaiting the ad-
vent of more favorable conditions.
