Republic.

No more work will be done on the
Quilp ON the raise, as the air is too foul.
The Quilp compressor plant is again
| running and the machine drills are
lreaking ore.
The teams are busy hauling ore from
the San Poll mine to the Republic mill,
the ore bin being reflled as fast as
the ore is drawn from it.
There will be more shipping now
from the Republic camp than has been
expected at any time since the trouble
between the mine owners and the mill
company.
Eureka gulch is fairly alive with
teams. and wagons. 1t appeared to
have been suddenly transformed from
nearly deserted avenue to an active
thorougfare.
Returns from the last shipment of
10 tons of Morning Glory ore have been
received. The ore carried six and three
quarter ounces of silver. That is equal
to about $140 per ton.
The Quilp mine is to ship it's ore to
the Republic Power & Cyaniding com
pany's mill, and if reasonable profits
can be made from the first trials it will
from now on be steady shipper.
The Lone Pine-Surprise mines will
soon be favorably heard from no doubt.
The grade from the Lone Pine ore
dump to the main road has been under
repair and was finished recently.
The trial shipment of ore form the
Ben Hur mine is completed and did not
exceed 10 to lis tons. Whatever the
exact tonnage may be will depend on
just what quantity can be hauled
through the day.
A force of men have started to work
at the Black Tail mine, and a few humid
red tons of ore will be run out Of it
within the next few days, to be hauled
to the mill. All that mas yet been ship
ped from the Black Tail so far had
already been filled into the ore bin.

There are many rumors regarding a
probable deal between the Kilo and
Chapleau properties on Lemon creek.
M. Mougues, engineer of the latter, has
inspected the former property recently,
which doubtless gave rise to the report.
The Similkameen country of late has
been noticeable for the interest taken
in 1t by outside mining men. The real
ization that this section of the province
is capable OF producing both valuable
minerals and coal is gradually dawn
ing upon those who are looking for
virgin fields for the safe investment Of
capital. The solution of the transpor-
tation problem is practically solved.

similar conditions. The amounts paid
on account of the two properties in the
past three months amount to $13,500.
Prospecting with a diamond drill in
the B. G. mine, in Summit camp, has
resulted in the discovery of some hith-
erto unexpected ore bodies in the lower
levels, thus largely increasing the val
ue of the property. Jay P. Graves, who
owns the controlling interest IN the r.

ed the Champion claim adjoining it on
the east, from Alex Onion, Joe Burron
and Fred Mum. The second payment
of $500 on bond of $4,000 has been

MINING NOTES.

Mining men who own property
throughout the Newport (Wash.) dis.
trict, on the Pend d'Oreille river along
the Washington line. are watch.
ing the development of the Copper Hill
with interest.
At Burke, Idaho, the Hercules has
cut its ledge, and while not yet in as
far as it was expected that the tunnel
would have to go to geL ore, some ore
of very fair grade was found where
the tunnel cut the vein.
During the month of April the mill
of the Great Northern Mining & Devel-
opment company at Gilt Edge, Mont,
crushed 4100 tons of ore. and the pro-
duction of the mill in bullion was $685.
600. The average value of the ore was
little more than So per ton.
An effort is being made by prominent
stockholders of the Iconoclast Gold &
Copper Mining company to reorganize
the company on an assessment basis.
The companys property is the famous
Iconoclast, near Kellar, on the south
half of the Colville reservation.
Captain John Gray, the superintend-
ent of the Crystal, near Davenport,
Wash, says that the miners who are
drifting on the 300 foot level have cut
a seven foot vein and are near the main
lead. Another crew of men have been
put on and in 10 days Mr.. Gray expects
to be shipping ore. The output will
be hauled to Davenport and loaded on
cars.
A carload Of mineral specimens from
eastern Washington have been dis
patched to Buffalo, where they will be
displayed as part of the states min
eral exhibit at the Pan-American fair.
One of the principal exhibits is man
tel from the United States Marble COM
pany, which has it's quarries at Valley.
Many fine specimens of gold, silver and
copper ores were also included. All
in all the collection is the finest that
has ever left the state. 1t Is in charge
of Superintendent G. L. Knox.
The Providence, in the Cedar Canyon
district (Wash.) which had been shut
down for the past three months, is
working again, and will begin shipping
as soon as the roads are in condition
for traffic. A crew of 40 men will be
put on in about two weeks and the
property will be worked to it's full ca
pacity. The Elephant, in the same dis
trict, has Is cars Of ore sacked and
ready to ship. The old Deer Trail,
which has been shut down for three
years, has been leased to Captain Bur
bridge, who started a new tunnel and
at a distance of 60 feet and 40 feet
depth struck large body of ore. Sew
eral new properties in the Cedar Can
yon camp are being opened up this
spring and additional men put on in
the old crews. The camp is very active
and large bodies of ore are blocked out
The Elephant has $180,000 in sight,
and in the Providence there is $4,000
worth. 1t is expected to put on crews
sufficient to take this all out this sea-
son.
