01lcits tram being in successful working order, and it's bins filled with high grade ore from the Jumbo mine, with enough more broken and lying in the stopes to refill them as soon as emptied. The bins, as at present con- stituted, hold l, ,5O0 tons, but are so built that their present capacity can easily and readily be doubled. The manager is waiting patiently for the transportation promised him, and is in daily expectation of the arrival of the first boat, which will probably be the Henriette, to take the first cargo to the shelter at Crofton B. c. This company is fortunate in having the services of a general manager, Mr. Chas. A. Sulzer, who gives his undi- vided time and attention to the man. agement of it's affairs. He is one of the few young men who, without pre- vious mine education or experience, has succeeded in mastering the details incident to mining operations and in bringing to successful issue the de- velopment of a great property. The company has every reason to be pleas- ed with the outchme due to his studi- ous and careful m,nagement.

 Concerning which s.se- has beer sai'esS ,hesrd for sev ui' o.ssfLikes-nSi,.. nas-ss.cf .sile' s.-.,. work'sinking apr drifting st its prop ertl on Helm Bay, with results of an altogether satisfactory character. TaGs york was commenced on the 3rd of iJuly last and continued until the close of the year, during which time thS main shaft was sunk to depth of l55\ feet and 200 feet of underground work accomplished in connection therewitM, together with 300 feet of drift on other locations belonging to the company The first and second class ores taken fro n the main shaft and drifts was sent tC the shelter and the balance milled, with an average yield of SIS per ton.
 The company, of which c. L. Parker is president, Thos. Appleton, secre- tary and treasurer and T. F. Johnson, superintendent, is the owner of seven- teen contiguous locations, the one upon which the main workings are situate, being only about 5000 feet dis taot fro,,, tho haaah nf fa or1 commodious harbor. It also has a five-stamp mill on the property. The l55- foot shaft and the drifts are in the lead, which carries a width of from one to four feet, with an unusually rich pay streak which appears to be altogether continuous. Ore from the outcrop of this lead yielded returns of S26S to the ton, while that taken from the llO-foot level gave returns of $500, while the second class from same level yielded $275 per ton. About l50O tons of first and second class ore, together with the leaner rock were taken out in sinking and drifting, all but 400 tons of which was shipped to the shelter or milled on the ground. A resumption of operations in this mine at an early day is confidently ex- pected
 At the Cymru from which no ship ments have been made since the shut ting down of the Coppermount shelter operations are being continued, though at considerable disadvantage. The bins and stopes are full of ore, and the management is waiting pa tiently for transportation, which it is advised will soon be forthcoming. It is not known as yet to the local man. agement to what shelter the next and subsequent shipments will be con- signed.
 The tug Pilot arrived in port this Friday afternoon, having the barge John c. Potter in tow, destined for Niblack, where she goes for a cargo of copper ore. She is now out in search for the Richard LII, the loss of which is elsewhere recorded.
 The Philippine Islands are to have at least semblance of popular home government. By authority of an act of Congress, an election at which members of home legislature are to be chosen has been fixed for the Both of July next. Wonder how that legis- lature, the proceedings of which will be in the Spanish language, or else will be all Greek to perhaps major ity of it's members, will compare with one that might, with authority emi- hating from the same source, be chosen by the people of Alaska.
