MINING NOTES.

Encouraged by the success of the
trial run of the concentrating plant
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
a 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. c.
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.
Wallace, Idaho.-One of the largest
attended funerals at Wallace was that
of George H. Allen, the foreman of the
Standard mine, who was instantly
killed in the mine Thursday afternoon
by being crushed between the cage
and the shaft. The Mace mines of the
Federal Mining & Smelling Co. were
closed for the day and nearly every
one of the $50 employees, besides many
other residents of the canyon towns,
came to Wallace on the special train
to attend the services.
The richest grade gold mine ever
discovered in California is now being
opened up in Trinity county, in the
Bonanza King group, recently bought
by John and James Treadwell and
associates. 1t is noteworthy that the
Treadwells also developed the largest
low grade quartz mine on the coast at
Douglas island, Juneau. 1t is esti'
mated that this Trinity mine has $2,,
| 100000 of ore in sight. From seam
only seven inches wide, extending
across the face of seven foot tunnel
in two weeks has been taken gold ore
that amounts to $4,000. This ore as
says $350,000 to the ton. 1t is the
richest ore ever exhibited in Sar
Francisco, as the gold assays $40 an
ounce. The company, which paid only
$4,000 for the mine, has 10 claims
along both sides of the ledge.
The Canadian Smelling works al
Trail has blown in it's fourth copper
furnace and this gives the plant 6
daily capacity of 1000 tons of copper
ore. Only one lead stack is in opera
