MINING NOTES.


Encouraged by the success of the
trial run of the concentrating plant
established on the creek between Wal
lace and Mullan, Idaho, to work the
tailings of the mines on the canyon,
the owners are planning an extensive
mill to be built on the same creek at
cost OF $4,000. The home made
plant consisting of revolving table
and settling tanks, has been run for
about a month and has given a net
profit of $500. The old plant worked
only the water carrying lead shines.
The building of the proposed new
smelling plant in the boundary dis
trict, b. c.. by the Dominion Copper
company, has been postponed.
Announcement is made by W. G.
Thomas, superintendent of the Domin-
ion Copper company's smelter at
Boundary Falls, b. c., that the reduc-
ton works will be blown in this week.

came to Wallace on the special train
. to attend the services.
