On account of the uneven size of the
rock, chutes are not generally used in
these Slopes, but the carmen shovel the
ore into cars. from the -. level of
the track, there being as many
places to shovel from as there are
spaces between posts along the track.
However, where the rock is soft and
where it breaks fine, chutes are used to
advantage.
Should large rock come down which
hammer, he moves his car to another
opening until the 'blockholer'' comes
around.
Two of these regular sets on each
side of the stope are carried up as fast
as the stope is worked, in which are
placed the LADDERS and air pipes. These
open sets also assist in ventilating the
stope.
Another plan of working these slopes
is now being carried out, by which at
least so per cent of the sill timbers will
be saved. Instead of the two outside
tracks being in the stope, drift is cut
under the edge of each pillar of suffi-
cient height and width to receive one
line of regular stope sets and tracks
are laid in these. The timbers are put
in place and the ore is broken down un-
til the sill chamber is partly filled, the
broken rock holding the timber sets in
place. An opening is made in the
broken rock through the center of the
stope, in which another line of sets are
put up. the loose rock being shoveled
back against the posts to support them.
No sills are laid between the rows and
only six rows of posts are required,
whereas eleven rows are required in
other slopes. The tracks will be laid
in these open sets and the two under
the pillars may be used again when the
pillar is being taken out.
The operation Of these Slopes ha:
brought about another change in the
general working plan of the mine
which will make a material saving il
the cost of development. TimbereC
slopes cannot be worked economically
more than 80 or 80 feet high, as th'
timber begins to crush of its owl
weight, while the untimbered stope
can be carried up $50 feet as well a
1OO AS a result the distance betweel
new levels will be made $50 feet, whicl
will effect a saving of one-third in de
.velopment work, and one-third NOR
ore can be recovered from the stope
with the same sill work.

ly shown around by him. While it was
generally known in the district that the
surface showing was remarkable for
both size and good appearance the re
ports convey but a feeble impression
compared with that of actual observa-
ton.
The outcropping of this dyke at the
point the work is being prosecuted at
present will exceed 200 feet in width
and rises mass after mass of huge out
groupings from the creek to the apex of
the mountain. The character of the
ore is the same as obtains in a general
way in the other dykes in this district,
especially the great Buffalo Queen and
Friday the Crooked River company's
principal claims. The general charac-
ter of the ore is sulphide but fair per
centage is also free milling.
There is no doubt that with the COM
pletion of the projected tunnel and
drifts, the Elk Gold Mining and Milling
Company will have property second
to none in the district.

London, March 29.-There is good
deal Of very strong talk here in cir

having serious trouble with Russia.
Several prominent Russian newspa-

some men here who really ought
to be absolutely familiar with the sit
uation have expressed the decided
opinion that there will be a. crisis soon
unless matters take a different as
Epect than at present. The govern
ment is prepared for any emergen-
cy, and, while there is1no fear ex-
pressed as to the possible outcome in
case the situation develops further
unpleasantness, there is belief thai
the situation may prove to be a dis

Houston, Texas, March 29.-Racial

Of the citizens are under arms. The

someone in the crowd fired, seriously
