Victoria, B. c., Aug. 21.-Victorians
are awaiting patiently for an official
list Of those who lost their lives in the
steamer Islander, for although the list
of dead has been reduced to AZ, the re.
ports which reached Vancouver indi.
cate there are still number of names
which have not been received here.
1t is said that it is quite possible that
the steamer struck on a rugged reef
which runs out from Tantallon point,
as few icebergs are found in that part
Of the sound, they mostly finding their
way out by Taku arm. But 1t must be
remembered that for every foot of ice
above water there are seven feet under
water. and 1t is impossible for a navi-
gator to see one which his steamer is
running on to. All admit that by the
time Captain Foote reached the bridge
1t was too late TO beach the vessel, In
fact 1t was impossible, as the propeller
was out Of the water.
The crew, according to the evidence
Of all. acted splendidly and left the
boats to the passengers, they them
selves being satisfied with pieces of
wreckage to cling to until picked up by
the boats. Captain Foote did not jump
from a raft, but was thrown off 1t when
1t capslzed, and he went down, as he
could not swim stroke. Some OF the
passengers acted most inhumanely. cut.
ting the ropes as soon as they got into
the boats and pushing off from the
steamer. The chief criticism as to the
operation of the steamer Is that she
should have been slowed down as soon
as 1t was found that she was running
into ice.

OLD PROPERTY SOLD.
John A. Rowand Lifts the Bond on
the Winscott,

An important change has been effected
in the ownership and ma cement Of the
we'll known Winscott mine. about four
and half miles south of Helena, says
the Helena Record. John A. Rowand
has had an option on the property for
the past two years. but was unable to
secure a bond on it until last July. AL
though that bond would not expire for
some Is months yet. Mr.. Rowand was
so we'll satisfied with the showing the
property has made for the past 10 years.
that he has taken up the bond and
paid the purchase price.
The report that Mr.. Rowand has given
a lease to an Eastern concern was de
MED last night. When seen by the Rec
ord he said he had simply purchased the
property with an idea Of working it.
That is what he is doing at present and.
as any one knows now, he will continue
so to do.
1t is fact. however. that a large
Eastern company has been considering
the question Of taking a lease on the
Winscott and has been negotiating with
Mr. Rowand with this in view. The COM
pany sent out from the East four ex-
perts something over a month ago. and
Mr.. Rowand practically turned over the

Quoted all it's operations
These experts completed their work
about week ago and left for the East
No one in Helena knows what they will
report to their employers. 1t is. in fact
matter of little concern to Mr.. Rowand
He will continue to operate the mine
unless he has some advantageous offer.
All talk of the probable erection Of a
l0O-stamp mill. while that would be "a
contamination devoutly to be wished
is at present long way ahead of the
game. 1t is yet uncertain whether any
company will take the property under
lease from its present owner
The WinscOtt is we'll known to every-
body In this part of the country. It has
been time and again described in the
papers 1t is strictly a low grade propo-
sition, but it's conformation is such that
1t can be worked with great economy.
The ore is now being taken from an omen
quarry bank. 103 feet high. One man.
working only day time, can scale off
enough ore to keep the 15-stamp mill
going night and day.
The opera tions of the mill are ham,
pered by an insufficency of water. There
is plenty of water but it must he

that this second stamp mill Will save
to the company about 10000 per month.
1t is not generally known that the
Homestake company borrowed large
sum of money. approaching $1oOo.oOo,
from J. b. Haggin and others for the
purpose of putting in the magnificent
water system from Speartish creek to
Lead. The company. when the loan rs
paid up. will in all probability increase
its dividends. There has not been a
miss in them since the first one, % years
ago, there having been a total of .'6
dividends paid The company is gradu-
ally increasing its output by putting in
cyanide plants and enlarging and start
ing UP old mills. and it is currently
stated that the company intends TO bullu
a new cO0-stamp mill in the near future.
The company is now dropping 900 stamps
every day.

Ursus Bonded for $4,000.

A bond for $4,000 has been taken on
the "Crsus," a North Moccasin cyanide
property, by Frank Flanagan, who lately
sold his interest in the Kendall townsite
to J. X. Cook.
The bond was given by G. B. Stuart
and D. j. Burr, the discoveries and own
ers of the property, and is to extend over
period of Is months and will fall due
on April 3, 1903
An agreement has been made whereby
20 days work each month is to be done
on the property by Mr.. Flanagan, who
will thoroughly prospect and develop the
property. The prospect is located half a
mile north of the Kendall mines toward
the apex of the mountains, and embraces
large body Of low grade ore.

HOW JEANETTE WAS NAMED.
Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Gillie Responsible.

Madison county has a new mining
town known as Jeanette. 1t is located
about four miles from Pony and partly
took it's name from the Jeanette Min
ing company. which recently bought the
Boss Tweed and Clipper group of mines
there and is now building a 100stamp
mill with which to treat the ore. 1t
may be wondered why the company was
christened the "Jeannette." but it is
easy John Gillie. superintendent of the
Butte & Boston properties in this city
is responsible for it. Mr.. Gllie is
large owner in the new company and
he and Mrs. Gillie. his wife. also own
cute little girl named Jeanette. Con-
sequently the company took it's name
from the little girl and the town acquired
its name from both the little girl and
the company.

A GREAT PROPERTY
HOMESTAKE COMPANY SAVES
LESS THAN 81 PER TON.
IT PAYS LARGE DIVIDENDS
Mines Have Yielded $4,000, 900
Company Has Paid Over $4,000
600 to Sharehclders-Borro
100000.

The Homestake Mining company of
The Black Hills of South Dakota. which
long ago set the pace for cleaning up
big money from low grade gold ore. has
made its annual report for the year
ended May 81, 1901. The report shows
that the total Of ore milled at the five
mills was 1854 tons. which netted
$S,5SS,654 on the plates. s4S.S05 in con-
centrates, and $2272 in silicous ore,
making a total Of $3,639,232 for the total
output of the mine.
The company paid out for labor in the
mine $1,226,143 and in the mills and
hoisting plants enough to bring the total
OF labor bill up to 81, ,0S5. The amount
paid for mine timbers was $24,.72 the
additional lumber and timbers bring the
total amount to $251,714. The coal bill
is placed at $251,995 powder at 1927 .267.
quicksilver at $97O7 and candles at
$26, 700. The company produced 1873 gold
bricks. averaging about 1850 ounces of
gold to the brick, valued at $4,000 to
$4,000 cash. There was an average Of
eleven bricks to the month. which gave
total of 2s7,0o6.9 ounces for the year.
The Homestake bullion averages about
SIS per ounce at New York.
The company paid dividend Of ST.
100000 for the year. The 12O0-ton cya-
hide plant was built at a cost Of about
$500, 900, and the water system, bringing
into the city water from Spearfish
creek at a cost Of 1900 900, was COM
pleted. At Terraville the old Caledonia
stamp mill was put in repair. 20 stamps
being added, making the total number
100. The Father De Smet mill at Cen
trail City was gotten ready for work and
would have been commissioned some
time ago but for an accident to the
main shafting, causing long delay.
The most interesting thing about the
report are the figures showing that but
$3.50 in gold was saved per ton on an
assay value, but little more than that
figure. Practically all of the values in
the ore are now saved. The report was
for the year previous to the commission
ing of the 1200-ton cyanide plant, which
is saving about IS cents that formerly
went down with the tailings into the
creek. 1t is expected that a better
showing will be made in the next an
nual report.
Up to the present time the CONSOLE
dated companies have paid in dividends
a total of $4,000, 900. 1t is estimated
that the consolidated companies have
produced over $3.50 200 in gold since
the first mill commenced pounding out
ore. The company has started the cree
ton of another cyanide plant on the
north side Of the hill mile from Lead.
which will have capacity of 600 tons

AS High as $500 Per Ton.

c. H. Williams and James Wocasek
have bonded mining claim in the vicin-
ity Of New Year to Anderson Bros, of
White Sulphur Springs, for $4,000. Silver
ore has been taken from this prospect
which assays as high as $500 to the ton,
and traces of rich cyanide have also been
discovered The bond extends over a
period of one year. with an agreement to
the effect that Anderson Bros. are to
work continually on the property and
develop it thoroughly.
The mine is one mile and a half from
the New Year Gold Mining company
mines and is in section rich in mineral
deposits. Work is already in progress
and will be pushed energetically. -'e-

Struck the Pay Shoot.

Charles Gilbert and w. b. Parker have
for some time been developing a mining
property Of their own adjoining the
famous gold producer owned by Thomas
Carmin, the White Pine, which Is reputed
to have yielded 100000 in gold.
A few days ago they struck the lead
they have been after and encountered a
fine body Of very high grade gold ore
that goes about $500 per ton. 1t is the
same lead as the White Pine and situated
just east. Undoubtedly the boys have a
fortune within their grasp.-Pony Sem

Treatment of Burns.

Burns may be ordinary, but they lose
none of their smart because of the ease
with which they are acquired. Some
persons seem to have perfect genius
for getting burned. If they strike a
match, it breaks and scorches them,
while a visit to the kitchen ends In a
burn from the oven or a scald from hot
water or steam. or course the right
thing to do with n burn is to get 1t
away from all contact with the air and
to do this with all possible haste.
The necessary articles for the treat

fresh fat of some sort and several
thicknesses of cotton cloth. 1t Is an
excellent plan to have a bottle of car.

How the Queens Cats Travel.

The cats of the royal establishment.
as seen during Queen Victoria's recent
removal to Windsor Castle. were com.
fortably accommodated in wooden
boxes with wired open fronts and
plenty of clean straw to lie on. One
of them was very fine pussy of the
tan and tabby hue of Persian cats,
with beautiful collar around her neck
on which were the words II belong
to the queen" In silver letters. This
happy feline permitted itself to be
stroked and was gracious though dig
nified In demeanor. There were also
two dark Persian kittens, little pictures,
whose mother has recently died, and
who are, therefore, under the special
protection of their kind owner. Prin-
cess Beatrice's white cat occupied an
other similar box TO itself.

The Filipino Chief.

Aguinaldo's career as an insurgent
leader appears to have come to an end.
He had been in hiding the greater part
of the time since he and his followers
began their operations against the
American forces near Manila, more than
two years ago.
He was an insurgent leader against
Spain In 1896 until peace was patched
up after the Filipinos had been blockad-
ed in ports of Luzon and surrender
was purchased by Spain In 1897 by pay
ment of 100000 In Mexican money
Aguinaldo and bis associates agreed to
surrender all Of the arms of the insur-
gents and quit the archipelago. He and
his followers went to Hong Kong where
they received part of the money, of
which Aguinaldo got the lions share and
was on his way to Europe, when, at
Singapore, he heard of the war between
the United States and Spain and of
Dewey's capture and destruction of the
Spanish feet in Manila bay. He left
Singapore and on May II sailed into
Manila harbor. Dewey gave him guns
and ammunition and he resumed his fight
ing against Spain.
Without the occupation of Manila
harbor by Dewey, Aguinaldo had posi-
lively no footing in Luzon, and in fact
was In India with large sum of Spanish
bribe-money in his pocket, given him to
desert his fellow insurgents, when he
heard of Dewey's great victory, May LIST,
1898. He rendered some small assist
ance to the American forces in the occu-
patton of Manila and in defeating the
Spanish army on Luzon island, but i'm
mediately began to assume to be the
ruler of the archipelago and put up the
most determined opposition to the right
full occupancy of the U. S. forces in the
establishment of order and Inauguration
of governments for the good of the
people.
The guerrilla methods of warfare of
various tribes under Aguinaldo and his
generals, 80 long continued, have at last
resulted in the dispersion of his forces
and the capture of the moving spirit of
the insurrection and the complete sue
cess of the army of occupation. The
establishment of civil rule will speedily
follow, indeed has been in process of in
auguration for some months. Aguinaldo's
capture will doubtless strike terror to
the few remaining chieftains and hasten
their surrender and the utter collapse of
the insurgent organization.
