The Christmas holidays interfered
materially with shipments from Ross
land for the past week, but sufficient
ore was sent to the sNelters or crush
ed to make the years total over 400,-
900 tons.
At the Kootenay mine Of Rossland
a comprehensive program of diamond
drill exploration has been commenced
with two crews. A start has been
made in the 1000 level, or fourth tun-
mel. and exploratory work will be con-
Quoted on other levels. .
Christmas week showed falling off
in the ore shipments from Boundary
mines. Total for week, 1898 tons;
total for year to date. 669,594 tons.
The Last Chance mine, in the SLOGAN

months, according to present plans,
said DR.. W. A. Hendryx, owner of two

to keep the shafts clear of water while
work is in progress.
Spokane men, who are among the
owners of the Soho group, in the
SLOGAN mining district, are elated over
news received from ]. N. Carey, who
is in charge of the work Of driving a
crosscut tunnel on the property. The
report of Mr.. Carey shows that the
tunnel has encountered the first of
four leads to be tapped by this tun-
mel. The lead is cut at a depth Of
200 feet, shows fve feet wide and car
ries 1S inches of clean ore.
The year in the SLOGAN mining dis
trict has not been SO profitable as
was hoped, but there has been consid-
cradle activity in small way. The
cause for a total output of 80 per cent
below normal may be attributed to
the low price of silver and lead.
Stephen Hunter was killed by an

Mining Notes.

An explosion of dynamite near the
Portland mine, Victor, Col, recently
broke windows in many houses In
that vicinity and sent many rocks
crashing through the roof of the resi-
dence of John Hebe. No one was
injured. The military have been inves'
tigating the matter, but have not
learned anything of the perpetrators,
nor of their objects.
Representatives of the Amalgamated
Copper company after several years
efforts at last succeeded recently in
gaining entrance to the Rarus mine at
Butte.

Though the purchase money of the
Last Chance, better known as the

THEY SETTLE IN mANcHuRlA.
Russians Gather at Larger Railroad
Centers.

SGukCt9s
According to a report received at
the state department from United
States Commercial Agent Greener at
Vladivostock, Siberia, under date OF
July 25, 1908, Russian settlements
have made their appearance at nearly
all the larger railroad stations in
Manchuria. Besides railroad offices
and houses for employees, there are
being built many private dwellings.
One impediment to the expansion Of
these settlements is that no regular
sales of lands have yet been arranged
for. 1t is said that there will be an
auction sale of lots next year. In the
meantime private persons are allowed
to occupy lots temporarily.
Regarding the affairs of Siberia,
Commercial Agent Greener says there
is a surveying party now engaged in
defining the route of the second 81
berian railway. The party will pro-
ject the line in such manner that
instead Of four daily trains of 20 cars
each, nine trains of 36 cars each will
run every "a hours. An appropriation
Of $5,150,00O has been made for this
Improvement. He also states that the
preliminary work for the railroad line
from Kiaklita to Pekin via Urga has
been accomplished.

The Colorado State Federation of
Labor has issued circular which is
being sent to every labor union in
the state. A protest is made against
the action of Governor Peabody in
sending the state troops into the min.
ing districts where strikes are in pro-
gress and in denying the writ of ha-
beas corpus placing censorship on
the press and denying the right of
citizens to keep firearms In their
homes. These are done, it is declared,
for the purpose of defeating the eight
hour movement and disrupting the
labor unions. Laboring men are urged
to join an organization known as the
Law and Order and Constitutional
Rights Protective league.
The circular closes with these
words: "As freemen we would live;
in its defense we should be ready
to die.'

THE ODD FELLOW AND K. P. BALL

The social event of the season
was the Grand Ball given by the
Odd Fellow and K. of P. Lodges of
this place on Monday night in the
Casey building. The hail
was nicely decorated with the diff
erent emblems of the two orders,
one side of the hall being devoted
to the Odd Fellows and the other
to the Knights. Neat programs
had been furnished blythe members
consisting of twenty-four numbers.
The music was furnished by the
ladies' orchestra of Mandan, con-
sisting of piano, cornet and violin,
and was highly satisfactory.
Dancing began promptly at $50
the Grand March being led by DR..
Forbes and Mrs. Hogue. Thirty
three couples were present to enjoy
the occasion. At midnight elegant
refreshments were served by Mrs.
Edwards and those present enjoyed
the good things set before them.
After supper, dancing was resumed
and went merrily on until the "wee
sma' hours" 1t was a tired but
happy lot of dancers that retired
to their homes, voting the lodges
to be royal entertainers.
Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Casselman
and daughter, the musicians, drove
from Bismarck Monday in order to
fill their engagement. The drive
was a very cold one, and the COM

efforts in getting here. The Ball
was a success, but owing to the iex-
IRENE cold weather, many were
unable to attend.
