MINING NOTES.

The mineral exhibit at the fair is
the best ever shown in Spokane, &C.
cording to the leading mining men OF
the country.
The Copper Queen Mining company
has begun development work upon the
Copper Queen, copper property of
merit situated adjoining the widely
known Reindeer, near Mullan. Idaho.
Bunkhouses and boarding house will
be built Immediately and tunnel driv-
en- as rapidly as possible to cut the
vein.
An unconfirmed report is current at
Wallace, Idaho, to the effect that the
Federal company is negotiating for
the purchase of the control of the
Reindeer copper property, short dis
lance from Mullan.
Shipments for last week from Ross
land, B. c., were smaller than usual,
owing to the derailment of an ore train
On the Columbia & Western between
Rossland and Trail. Total for the
week. 1870 tons. and for the year, $780,
1913 tons.
Within few days the smelter about
completed by the Amador Mining COM
pany in Montana will be blown in and
commence the treatment of the great
quantity Of ore the company has on its
lump and in its bins. The smelter will
be under the superintendency of Mr..
White of Butte and will have a capa-
city of rs tons a day. If it proves a
success it will be enlarged later on.
From Wallace, Idaho, comes the re-
port of strike at the California
which is owned by Pittsburg COM
oany, owners of the Black Cloud and
adjoining that property. The strike
was made in the lower tunnel, where
one foot of galena has been encoun-
tered. The report was brought here
~ California miner today, confirm
ng street rumors.
Word reached Grand Forks of an
immensely rich strike of cobalt which
was made recently near West Bridge
IN the west fork of Kettle river. This
strike is of gigantic proportions and
has created great excitement in the
camps. It bids fair to rival the cobalt
camp in New Ontario. Prospectors
rom all over the country are focking
into the camp and stalking all the va
can't ground for miles around.
There is reason to believe that the
Furnace Creek Copper company, of
which Patrick Clark of Spokane is
chief owner and directing spirit, will
soon be merged into much greater
company, the guiding spirits in which
will be Charles M. Schwab, the former
steel magnate, and John w. Gates, the
we'll known New York millionaire.

Philadelphia, Sept. 30.-Running at
great speed past a signal set up
against it and a flagman who was
wildly waving a warning to the engi'
neer, an express train bound for Phil

crashed into a stalled Long Branch
express at Eddington, with the result
that three persons are dead and 80 In

we're not killed Is considered remark
able, as three of the cars of the Long
Branch train were completely tele-
scoped by the terrific impact Of the
aeavy New York express.
Engineer Van Arsdale of the New
York express, who was not hurt, said
ne saw the red signal as well as the
iagman, but was unable to bring his
rain to a standstill, although he had
experienced no trouble whatever In
stopping at Trenton, which was the
last stop he had made. After the &C.

1t is said by passengers that the
Long Branch express, bound for Phil
ldelphia, had stopped to cool off a
not journal. While the train crew
we're at work on the journal the ex.
press train which left New York at
1870 a. m. Numbered around a curve
Ind crashed into the Long Branch
rain. 1t is declared that the express
from New York disregarded signals
and thus caused the accident.
Most of those killed and injured
we're in Pullman car on the rear of
he Long Branch train. It was cut in
two as with knife, and the impact
smashed the two coaches ahead of it.
Because of lack of facilities it was
some time before the work of rescue
began.
