Solomon Guggenheim, who is in
Denver looking after the interests of
the American Smelling & Refining
company, of which he is an official,
says that the company has just closed
the sale of 10000 900 ounces of silver
to the Mexican government, in addi-
ton to 100000 ounces recently de-
livered. He declared that the first
sale increased the market price of the
metal 2 cents and predicted a still
greater rise as a result of the late
deal.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The main shaft of the lie Roi mine
is to be sunk to the 1400-foot level.
Good progress is being made on the
south drift of the Trade Dollar at the
300-foot level.
The Marietta, situated near the Lake
View mine, is to be worked with all
possible speed.
erect smelter on the southern out
skirts of Rossland.
The road from the G. P. R. to the
Bonanza and Cascade properties is be.
ing put in repair preparatory to haul
ing out ore.
The Nova tunnel is now in highly
mineralized rock that carries small
values. The big ledge will probably
be cut within 10 days.
The Lone Pine was closed down last
week in consequence of the shortage
of coal at the CRANKY smelter, caused
by the coal miners strike at Fernie.
The first shipment of California ore
consisted of II carloads. Three car
loads have been shipped since. The
II cars netted little over $1,000 per
car.
Boundary ore shipments for the past
week are necessarily limited as but
few mines are on the shipping list
on account of the coke shortage at all
the smelters.
S. H. c. Miner, president of the
CRANKY Consolidated Mining, Smelling
& Power Company, Ltd, visited Phoe
nix camp last week for the first time
this year, it being his annual trip of
inspection of the company's mines.
1t is reported that the Kootenai Cop
per Mining & Smelter company has
bonded all of their properties for six
months to John Jones and others of
Chicago, III. The option on the mine
is on the basis of $3.50 900.
The Second Relief mine, in the
Ymir district, controlled by Finch &
Campbell, has started its mill and is
treating about 80 tons of ore day.
The average value is estimated at
about 81.
Now that it is settled that J. n. Mac
Kenzie will continue to manage the
lie Roi and that there is no likelihood
of any amalgamation between the lie
Roi companies, the concentration ques-
ton is the absorbing one at Rossland.
At Silverton the Hewitt mine was
visited during the week by one of the
owners and the engineer, and it was
concluded by them that the showing
made in the deep level warrants the
construction of a plant to treat the
ores on the ground.
The success attending the shipment
of ore from the lie Roi dump has been
rather remarkable. Lots of four cars
have been shipped at one time to the
Northport smelter, the tests of which
indicated that the entire shipment car
ried no less than $40 per ton in gold
values alone.

How His Attempt to Work His Little
Game in Windhsm County Town

Game in a Windham County Town
Failed.
A well known Windham county
farmer was greeted at his home one
day last week by stranger who in
troduced himself as an intimate friend
of the farmers son in a city in an
other state. He had come to the
farm, he said, to make a call at the
urgent request of the son. The
stranger was a physician and an eye
specialist connected with hospital
in the city in question. according to
his own statement. After a time he
spoke of the condition of the farmers
eyes, and of the necessity of having
an operation performed on one of
them, on which, he said a cataract was
forming. He said that for such an
operation he usually received SIS
but in consideration of his friendship
for his new acquaintance's son he
would perform the operation in this
case at a greatly reduced price. AS
the physician" went on, he asked that
he might examine the eye. and while
| doing so dropped into it some liquid
| and then gently. in the presence of
the patients wife removed with in
SlTuHleHlS lIOn lHe eye luTee large
scales. In a short time he began to
talk about payment for his work.
About this time the farmers suspic-
ions were aroused, and he refused fiat
ly to make any payment, saying he had
not asked to have the work done The
| strange physician tried to effect a
| compromise by receiving a payment
of $3.50 for each scale. The patients
| temper was thoroughly aroused by
this time, and the eye specialist de-
parted quickly, saying as he went
that there would be no charge.
He drove in a closed carriage and
was accompanied by a lady who did
not enter the house. He was of dark
complexion, heavily built, about 80
years old. and spoke with the accent
of a foreigner. The account book he
showed contained items of payment
from people in Windham county
towns, but these were evidently ficti-
tious. It is known that he tried to
work his little game in at least one
other instance.
A letter from the son brought the
expected information that he had new
er heard of the strange physician.

IN DUN M ERSTON.

The gathering in honor of Old Home
Week last Friday was one of the pleas
ATTEST occasions in the recent history of
Dummerston. 1t is estimated that the
number present was 800. Everywhere
the cordial handshake and greeting of
old friends was in evidence. An express
sion heard on every side was, ITS been
% years since I've seen you" Some
times the % became even 90 Probably
most of the guests from out of town
visit Dummerston occasionally, but they
do not all come at the same time and
hence do not see each other and, as
in most cases they visit relatives or
particular friends, they do not meet the
people of the town to any extent. Such
a gathering as that of last Friday can
not fail to do much to revive the inter
est In the old town on the part of its
absent sons and daughters, and the eff
feet upon the present citizens must be
even greater in the way of bringing
about a cordial and united interest in
the town; in other words, of arouslng
a town spirit.

A Complex Ballot.
IMontpeller Journal. |

The Australian ballot ticket to be
used at the coming election Is so com
pick, because OF the mixup in the sew
eral parties, that it is estimated that
the number of ballots which will be
thrown out because of apparent error
in marking will exceed 5000 through
out the state. There Is also a chance
for scores of complications to arise in
marking, which If the election is close,
may have to be determined by the
legislature. In the ballots for this
congressional district. the name Of
Kittredge Haskins, the present incum-
bent does not appear on the Local
option ticket, as that party held no
district convention and so has no can
dldate. His vote may therefore suffer
considerably. with a chance Of the
election going to Harris Miller of West
Fairlee, the Democratic candidate,
should enough of the Local Optionists
vote the straight ticket and fail to
write in the name of Haskins. The
tellers whose duty will be to count
these ballots are not to be envied
their task this year.
