ing companies in Canada and the north
western states. In the last five years
scores OF companies have been floated in
England to operate in British Columbia,
The majority Of them have proven un-
fortunate. Some Of them never attract
ed anything save possible criticism
among mining men on this side Of the
water who were acquainted with the
property which they expected to own.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars were
spent in alleged development Of claims
/ which never received serious considera-
tion here. 1t seemed for a time, how
ever. that anything in British Columbi.,
was a good enough peg on which to
hang company f1otation.
Other London concerns, like the i'll
omened British American corpora ton.
owned assets that were unquestionably
of value. but they were wrecked through
| mismanagement of London promoters.
Still other London companies have had
excellent mines, but thousands Of dollars
which should have been spent in de-
vslopment has been FILTERED away in
eXtravagant acknowledgement by mex
perienoed men in charge of the work.
AS result of all these conditions, it
Is declared by English financial papers
that British Columbia mining companies
are in exceeding poor favor with old
country investors. Men who have tried
to float new companies to handle props
erty of unquestioned merit all unite in
the same account of the difficulties under
which they have worked.
On the other hand, by some good for
tune, the operation of English investors
in the northwestern states has been

is nothing less than remarkable. The
Montana, the Idaho and the Alaska
Mines which have teen floa.ed on the
English market, are among the most
valuable properties in the country. The
De Lamar, with dividends of $780, 600;
the Anaconda, with profits of nearly $50
100000; the Montana. operating the old
Drum Lummon, which melted $2225, 900:
the Alaska Treadwel. with disburse-
ments of $4.745. 0Oo-these are some OF
the good things in which Englishmen
have managed to get interests.
The most remarkable feature about
this record however, is not the amount
OF profits that have been paid. English
-nVes-crs have way of wanting the
best in the country when they make
mining deals, and it was but natural
that at some price or another they
should ges hold of the big dividend pay
ers here, just as they go, hold of the LIE
Roi in British Columbia. The strange
part of the record is that the min ng
claims of the northwestern states have
been almost absolutely free from Wild
eating on the London market. The stock
list in the British Columbia section of
the London mining exchange contains
scores upon scores of mining companies
which are practically defunct, and have
made heavy losses to investors. The
American list. on the other hand. is short
and crisp. 1t includes some of the most
famous mines in America, with only here
and there much subdued wildcat anx-
ious to escape.

What Leadville and Cripple Creek have
been to Colorado, it is believed the new
Thunder Mountain district will be to Ida
no, says the Salt Lake Mining Review.
Thunder Mountain is located in Idaho
county, Idaho. and. just now it is at
TIA ting a small army of miners and
prospectons because of the wonderful
gold discoveries ma le within it's environ
ments during The past few years. Thun-

matter of fact, it is said that every foot
of it will I an colors; while within RAJ
dius of fifty miles from the original dis
covery in this section, there is perfect
network of gold bearing lodges. Placer
propositions are numerous, while water
is abundant and the couT,try is heavily
clothed with timber. As general thing
the ore bodies are of low grade. but of
excellent milling values. the Importance
attached to discoveries in this region be-
ing because of the immensely of the de-
posits and the ease with which the ore
can be mined and millad. Thunder
Mountain is located about 100 miles north
and a little east of Boise, and, so inter-
ested are the enterprising people Of
Idaho's metropolis in the opportunities
offered in this new district, that it is
proposed to build a state wagon road
from the hub" to this new camp, the
cost of which will reach nearly $4,000,
of which Colonel w. H. Dewey, will con-
tribute $4,000. There is every reason to
believe that this will develop into one
of the greatest gold producing camps in
the west, and already arrangements are
being perfected for the extensive devel-

GAME ENDED IN A ROW.
South Scranton and Minooka Teams
Engaged in a Loosely Played
Contest at the Park.

The poorest exhibition of base ball

the game ON Saturday, between the
South Scranton and Mmooka clubs.
The climax came, when Miuooka was
hopclessly defeated.

Scranton, Nalln. the first man up, sent
corking triple into right field, When
he reached third base, LaffeY attempted
To block him. and as he did. Nalln sent
him sprawling to earth with push.
McDonough had thrown the ball to
head off the runner, and the sphere
struck Nalln in the back, and carOmod
off into the crowd, allowing Nallin to
score.
This was Minooka 'soppOrtunity. First
the players set up howl about Nal

The contest was loosely played. par
ticulally by the Minookas. Their
pitcher, Flannclly, hit five batters and
gave six bases on balls. Crossin was
also wild. hut pitched much better
game than his opponent, The fielding
ON both sides was ragged, and the
game was practically featureless. The
summary is as follows:
