MINING MOVES
What Was, is Now, and Destined to Become..A Brilliant Future
 Awaits Work of Development

There is a congestion of ore at the Jumbo, owing to the lack of transpor- tation. The upper and lower bunkers, which hold something more than 1, 300 tons, are full to overllowing, the mine having achieved q daily product of loo tons. It seems like the irony of fate that this great mine should thus be hampeeed, with a shelter lying idle scarcely half q dozen miles away.
 The big ship Halvard cleared yes terday with q full cargo of ore from the Mt Andrew, the product of which mine is now limited to 1000 tons per month because of the transportation facilities which are so inadequate to the requirements of our working mines
 The Alki passed through south bound about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. She carried cargo of ,000 tons of Treadwell concentrates and POO tons of canned salmon from Hunters Bay.
 It is expected that work will be re- commenced at the Cymru property within the next month or six weeks. This mine has about 900 tons of ore at Coppermount which it expects to ship south as soon as q bottom can be found to carry it.
 Mrs. Tola Wyman came over from Copper City Friday night and left yesterday morning for Tacoma. The Red Wing mine is shipping cargo of ore on board the Alaskan to the shelter at Tacoma and Mrs. Wyman goes to see to the settlement for same.
 The Elk, of Ketchilan, went down to Cat island yesterday to bring up the Peterson < Sons outfit. Some fifty or more sacks of high grade copper ore was brought back for shelter test and considerable interest is felt in the result. An assayed sample gave as high as IS per cent copper from the Peterson property with con siderable gold. The ore brought up was from clear across the face of the cut and will give the true value of the property.
 The old reliable Drigo arrived up yesterday morning with the barge Case in tow. The latter vessel was loaded with coke and coal for the Alaska Smelling 6 Refining Co.,, at Hadley, while the Dirigo besides 800 tons of coal for the same concern had locomotive, steam shovel and other machinery and supplies for the White Pass railroad.
 T. J. Sweany was passenger on the Dolphin this morning enroute from Seattle to Skagway. Mr. SWeany has mining interests on Kasaan Bay near the Mt. Andrew mine upon which he expects to re- commence work within the next month. He has shipped some ore from it to the Tacoma shelter upon which he realized $9.00 per ton after paying shelter charges.
 E. NJ. Aldrich and !. L. Payne two mining men Of Spokane, are guests at the Revila They went out this morning to examine the Peterson property on Boco de Quadra.
 J. H. Hazlett, mining expert from Seattle was registered over night at the Reyila. Mr. Hazlett represents Chilberg & Davidson of Seattle, who recently bought into the Goodro and Thomas copper property on Karta hay. He left for the prop erty this morning and the Miner is in- formed that it is his intention to take out about 500 tons of ore for immed- fate shipment, and if all comes up to expectations will see to the building of an erial tram ana bunkers for the ore.
 E. ". Molander, an expert machin- ist came up on yesterdays Dolphin and left for Hadley on the Marion, where he goes to see about the install lation of the hot blast attachment on the smelting furnace. Mr. Molander was Instrumental in saving the steam CT Chas. D. Lane in October of 1900 when an accident to her boilers put ner out of business and threatened to send her to the bottom. After the engineers department of the boat had tried everything they could think of to remedy the tr ouble and failed. Mr. Molander took hold of things and in an incredible short time had the boat under way again. Harley Sel- don, of this place. was on board the vessel at the time and is loud in his praise of MT. Molander's skill The hot blast to be installed is an inven- tion of Thomas kiddeis the shelter manager, and is said to effect a ma terial saving of coke.
