FINE BODY OF ORE.

Last week in driving the 300 foot west
level from the East Whiting mine on
Gunnell hill in this city, the miners cut
into chute of ore 800 feet west of the
engine or main shaft, which is - feet
wide. a large prop rtion Of the ore is
smelling, and assays from $50 to 500 per
ton. Ch aries MocMasters pounded up
a piece OF the smelling ore and, after
panning it, nice streak OF coarse gold
was in the rim OF the pan. The ore body
is widening as the level is extended, and
it is thought to be the same ore chute
that was found in the Whiting mine sew
eral years ago by V. Kimber, and which
proved OF such large value.

The Dallas lode on the easterly portion
of Maryland mountain is being worked
by local parties. At one time it was the
property of W. II. German, who sold it
to Col. P. R. Smith and S. Y. Smith.
There is tunnel which intersects the
vein, and through which the operators
of the Margaret Glennan lode formerly
trammed their ore to the surface and to
the Hidden Treasure mill.
Francis Mcleod, this city, has ceased
working the West Calhoun lode in Rus
sell district. He is now turning his at
tention to the Eldora claim in the same

A large number of gentlemen and
several ladies, from Iowa, Wisconsin
and Nebraska, drove over from Idaho
Springs last Sunday morning and after

drove down to Black Hawk, where they
were shown through several mines, re-
turning to the Springs that evening.
Ed Quigley chsperoned them.
A Mr.. De Mar, who has been expert
menting with Gilpin county ores at the
Eureka house, has been obtaining very
satisfactory results. From two pounds
OF ore taken from the lower workings Of
the Bugher lode ON Central City hill, he
handed John Grant OF that mine a fine
gold button which gave the gold values
to be over $500 per ton. Very good re-
suits were also obtained from a lower
grade OF ore.

Dominion Government Says Import
ance is Exaggerated.
Ottawa, June 29-The Canadian gov
eminent authorities have not had full
particulars of the flag incident at Skag-
way, but are inclined to think that its
Importance is exaggerated. The Do
miniOn has no customs house or Gus
toms collectors at that place. No Gus
toms duties for this country are taken
there, but the Dominion maintains
what is known as a transit Office for
the examination of goods designed to
pass through the disputed strip Of ter
ritOry to the Yukon district beyond. the
object being 10 facilitate through ship
ments and TO prevent their being de-
layed at the provisional boundary
which laps half way across the line of
the White Pass railroad.
The arrangement is one used by the
Canadian government at Tacoma, Sc
attic. Chicago, Duluth, Portland and
other American points. and by the
American authorities in the Dominion.
Usually the officers are quarteTed at
the railway stations, where it would be
absurd .tO have flags flying. There is
special Office at Skagway. IT was not
known here whether il few a flag or
not, but the impression is that a flag is
not necessary to the business the officer
has 70 transact.

FLAG INCIDENT A
THRILLING AFFAIR
No TrOnble Looked For Over
Skagway Episode.
OF NO SIGNIFICANCE
CANADIANS DID NOT HAVE Gus
TOMS HOUSE THERE.

washington, June 29.-The state de-
partment has not received any repre-
sentation concerning the flag incident
at Slagway. where much excitement
is said to have been caused by the
hauling down of British customs en-
sign raised al that point. Based on
the press reports of the affair, the Of
hcials do not attach serious Importance
to the incident itself, although IL IS
recognized that the matter might as
sumo Importance if the raising of the
flag was an assertion of the British
sovereignty over that locality In that
event there is no doubt that the state
department would take cognizance of
the matter. But as 1t stands the flag
appears to be that of the customs Of
fee, for the convenience Of designating
where customs may be paid, and not
the British emblem indicating any
claim of sovereignty.
The modUs vivendi made on Oct. 20,
1899, between Secretary Hay and the
British charge here, established a pro-
visiOnal line running some distance
north of SkagWay, the summit of the
ChilkoOt Pass and of the White Pass,
being the two main trails in that 10
cality
Reference to the official map indi-
Gates that Skagway is clearly within
the American line, according to this
modus vivendi, also all tidewater of the
Lynn canal If a custom officer is at
Skagway, he is there as a means of
convenience Of locating imports before
they reach the wild region through
which the actuaI provisional line runs.
Under such circumstances it is said
that some tolerance should be shown on
both sides. For the present no official
attention viii be given incident, as
it is not before the department in any
form
