BRITISH COLUMBIA \.

The Morrison mine Deadwood camp,
recently shipped one carload of ore to
the CRANKY smelter.
1t now seems probable that the Silver
King mine, once the heaviest producer
in British Columbia, will shortly re-
sumo something Ike its old position.
Under the able management of capt.
Clifford the development of the mine
has been successfully prosecuted, so
that now, as in the early stages of its
prosperity, it is able fully to occupy
one of the large furnaces at the Nelson
smelter.
The strike recently reported from
the Union Jack mine, on Porcupine
creek, has assumed large Importance
from the fact that some of the best ore
ever seen in this camp is now being
brought down from the property. A 49,
inch seam of solid galena ore entirely
free from quartz has been uncovered,
and is widening out with every addi-
tiOnal foot Of work. AS the best sur
face showings are still some distance
further on it is evident that the shoot
is one Of considerable length.
1t is stated by those on the inside
that the Rambler-Cariboo company is
to double its dividends after the first
of the year. There has been a push on
the stock during the last two weeks
and the price has made quite an ad
vance as consequence. The company
is now paying a dividend of a cent
every sixty days and it is to pay a cent
per month after the first of the year
The financial condition of the Rambler
Cariboo company is said to he in the
best of shape. After the big com
rressor plant is paid for and other ex
penses accounted there will still be !
balance in favor of the company of be
tween $4,000 and 100000. The com
pany is now sinking on the ore body
and the men are in ore that Is ever
| richer than that in which they have
| been working. The company is con
etmplating sinking to the 600 foot lev
Ell, and If the ore at that depth gives
. the same values as are found in TIT
present workings the Rambler Caribot
will be one Of the biggest mines in tn
country.
