BRITISH COLUMBIA ITEMS.

Rossland.-There is a revival of the
rumors of the amalgamation of .ne LIE
Roi, the War Eagle and the Center
Star, with some talk of the inclusion
OF the Snow Shoe mine in Boundary
which is controlled by A. ]. Mcmillan
and George Waterlow of the LIE Roi
directorate.

tons after the shutdown owing to the
exceptional dry spell.
Grand ForKs.-The sixth furnace at
the CRANKY smelter is blown out for
making an important change in the
way of installing an electric charge
car. BY the conveying of the ore by
this new method great many labor
ers are dispensed with.
Superintendent Weeks, in charge of
the Sullivan mine and smelter at
Marysville, East Kootenay, B. c., has
90 or go men at work, and the smelter
should be running about the first of
the year. The plant has been rebuilt
from the ground up, and there have
been delays in getting machinery. 1t
had been hoped to get the smelter
running by October 1.
Mining men have been not a little
puzzled at the ore coming from the
Copper Key, on the east side of Cur
lew lake, near Republic, Wash. The
stuff comes from short tunnel and a
winze, giving a depth of 80 feet. The
vein matter looks like fine gray dust,
and is a pick and shovel proposition.
On panning it shows beautiful free
gold of extraordinary high grade. The
gangue is magnetic iron and lime. The
lode is so soft that much timbering is
needed. In depth there is tendency
to change into sulphide of copper and
the formation grows harder.
Vancouver, B. C.-Steam shovels are
to be introduced into the Atlin mining
district, located in the northern part of
the province. His Honor Judge Hen
derson has just returned from his an
nual trip to hold county court sessions
in that district, and brings back news
of the contemplation of the use of more
improved methods of mining. "The
camp is good for many years to come"
he said, land installation of up to date
will bring handsome re-
turns in gold recovered.
Port Slmpson.-From a prospector's
point of view, mining on the Skeena
river in the northern part of British
Columbia holds vast possibilities. Port
Simpson is the recorders residence
and the center of this district. The
Skeena district has hardly been seen
by white mems eyes. Nevertheless,
there are few locations here which
look exceedingly good.
The CRANKY surplus is now 1888, 419,
The annual report shows the company
made profits of $2S3,513.

Oyama Tells of Decisive Jap Vic.
tory.


Toxic, Oct 17.-Field Marshal Mar
quis Oyama, in kilograms to the war
office, summarizes the operations
against the Russions south of Mukden
up to Saturday, October Is, as fol-
lows:
"As a sequel to the fight lasting five
days continuously, we have driven
back superior forces of the enemy at
every point, pursuing him and forcing
him to the south bank of the Hun
river.
1--WE have inflicted heavy losses,
captured over 80 guns, and hundreds
of prisoners. We have defeated the
enemy's plans, converting his offensive
operations into radical failure. The
enemy's dead are everywhere on the
field, and indeed are too numerous for
their number to be even estimated
We have already buried easily 1000 of
the dead Russians and still great num-
bers are lying on the field of battle.
"Since the fighting is still progress
ing, it is imossible accurately to esti-
mate the casualties of the enemy, but
these must be at least 100000"
