Farmer Near Portland Kills AdoIph
Burkhart

Portland, Ore, Nov. 2.-Samuel Bau-
man, farmer living near Bertha, a
settlement about six miles west of
Portland, is held pending the coroner's
inquest for the killing of Adolph A.
Burkhart early Sunday morning. Ac-
cording to Harry Fuller, a friend of
Burkhart, who was with him at the
time of the shooting, the two were
on their way to halloween party and
in sport had been firing small re-
volver. When some distance from
Bauman's house, Bauman appeared in
the road and began firing at them.
The second shot hit Burkhart and kill
ed him.
Bauman says his neighbors, whom
these boys were visiting, are on bad
terms with him, and that during the
night the boys began to shoot at his
house as they were passing by. Think
ing that the shooting was for the pur-
pose Of annoying him and wishing to
drive the young fellows away, he went
outside the house and fired his gun at
random, but in the general direction
whence the sounds of the shooting
were coming Bauman disclaimed all
intention of harming anyone.

II. N. Caller, secretary of the Inter
national Coal & Coke company, which
is developing its coal measures at
Coleman, on the Crows Nest Pass
railroad, has just awarded the con-
tract for the erection of the first bat
terry of 104 coke ovens. The output
amounts to 100 tons of coal daily, and
shipments are being made to various
points. The colliery inside of 10
months is expected to produce 1000
tons Of coal daily. Three hundred ad-
ditional coke ovens are to be built
next spring, when the company will
have 600 men on its payroll. The con-
tract for all the plant, electric loeomo-
tives, tipples, ETC., has just been
awarded by President A. G. Hummer
felt, who is in the East. The officers
of the coal company are closely iden-
titled with the CRANKY Consolidated
company at Grand Forks, B. G. Be-
sides shipping coke to the CRANKY
smelter, it is the intention of the
company to ship its product to Amer
lean as we'll as Canadian markets.
Two new furnaces, making a total
of six, have been blown in at the
CRANKY smelter. They will increase
the capacity of the plant to 2100 tons
daily, thus ranking CRANKY as the
largest copper smelter in Canada.
Ore shipments from the Boundary
mines last week run over 10000 tons.
Plans are under way to reincorpor-
ate the Lardeau- Goldsmith mines, own
ing ground in the Lardeau.
The intimation that two more Ross
land mines contemplate installing
concentration plants has been supple
mented by the iptimation of similar
intentions by a third company. II
all these plans mature, Rossland will
have five concentrators next summer.
At the LIE Roi No. 2's mill every
thing is in excellent running order, all
the trifiing setbacks incident to the
initial operation Of new machinery
having been overcome. On Monday
the works started with two shifts of
IL hours each, and operations on this
basis are to be maintained through
out the winter.
The notorious English Canadian
company, one of the worst concerns
ever formed in England to handle
British Columbia mines, has finally
gone to pieces, with debts of $780,
900 and assets consisting of a claim
at Waldo, Ore, and others at Al
berni, Vancouver Island, B. c., which
are jointly valued at $4,000 by the Of
fetal receiver appointed by the Eng
fish courts to clear up the mess. The
receiver, H. Brougham, reports mis-
