BRITISH COLUMBIA,

About 1000 men are employed about
the mines tributary to Sandon, and
strikes are being reported constantly.
Few transfers of mining proprties have
been reported recently, but the camp
is nevertheless busy one. Bodies of
the richest ore yet found in the distdict
have recently been met in the lower
workings of the Bosun, on SLOGAN lake;
the Queen Bess, the SLOGAN Star and
the Ruth. Between the 800 and 500
foot levels the ores have somewhat

1t is estimated that shipments from
the SLOGAN last year were little short
of 10000 tons.

MINING NOTES.

The regular monthly dividend of the
Buffalo Hump Mining Company, opera
ting the Tiger-Poorman, on Canyon
creek, Occur d'Alenes, was paid recent
ly. The dividend was of ten cents per
share, or $4,000 in all, making a total
for the company of 100000, all of
which has been paid within one year.
The famous Tiger and Poorman claims
which were located just one day apart
were consolidated some time ago under
the name of the Consolidated Tiger and
Poorman Mining Company. This com
pany sold out its entire holdings to the
Buffalo-Hump Mining company a little
over year ago, and since then the
property has been operated with re-
markable success. The shaft by which
the property is worked is down over
1000 feet, and in going that distance it
has paid dividends to each company
that has done the work, though it's
yield in 1900 probably far exceeds that
of any year in it's operation

gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1900. The
aggregate of gold is given as $780,. 213
fine ounces, valued at $79,322,2S1. and
of silver 59,610,543 fine ounces, which
at the approximate average price of 81

During the calendar year 1899 the
gold production was $71,053. 400, and
the silver production 54,764,500 fine
ounces. The Nome gold and silver pro-
duction for 1900 is given as SIS. 100, 900,

cludes both American and Canadian
fields, $22,2S7 566. The product of the
Canadian mines is not included in the

A shaft Is feet deep has been sunk

| 1t is reported that the tunnel on the
Elk mine, at Bodie camp, has run into
the vein on good milling ore.
Work has been suspended on the
Palo Alto, as the water was causing
the time to bail it out.
Superintendent M. Ediams of the
Muldoon, on ST. Peters creek, has been
showing some splendid specimens of
copper-lead ores from the mine
The Quilp is still taking out very
rich ore from the raise, which is about
60 feet above the floor of the 200 foot
level. Considerable free gold is visible
to the naked eye.
The Quilp mine, Superintendent
drummer says, never looked better
than it does now. The ore stope, south,
on the No. level, is fully II feet in
width, the full size of the vein.
In the Black Tail and San Poll mines
there is nothing new to note Neither
the prosecuting in the one nor the
drift in the other has brought any
thing to light of interest during the
past week.
A rich strike on the Bodie has been
made. Indications that the ledge will
prove to be wide one. 1t has been cut
for six feet.
The Chico drift is still in fine pay
ore. There is about feet of high grade
ore. There is a good deal of water to
contend with, but it can be easily hand
led now, and it is not thought there
will be any trouble in the future.
Drifts are being run north and south
on the 300 foot level of the Princess
Mand. In the face of each drift the
ledge is feet wide and the quartz is of
high grade. Only about 40 feet of
drifts have been run on that level.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
Flag Hill. The drift is in 80 feet. The
ledge is four feet wide. There are fine
walls on both sides, and the ledge no
longer freezes to either. The values
are said to run from $40 to $45 per ton
The ore in both the second and third
levels of the Morning Glory has not
changed in width and it is not less val
liable tha1 heretofore. The second lev
ell hasSDeea driven 40 feet. There is
considerable ore sacked ready for ship
ment to the smelter.
The Chico mine is doing nobly. A
recent assay of general face sample
from the vein. in the north drift, ia
ken when it was in 35 feet from the
shaft, ran 81 ounces in silver and 2.S
ounces in gold, with a total market
value of $S1.56 per ton.
AT the lowest depth in the Republic
mine the vein has been crosscut, and
measures So feet in width at right an
giles. In the upper workings new places
are being tried right along, so that no
ore worth saving may be overlooked,
and some of the ore runs pretty low.
But Manager Leckie says that every
day there are several samples taken
that runs up to and over 500 a ton.
