MINES AND MINING.

For at least 30 days the American
Smelling & Refining company will re-
| fuse to receive ores from all shippers
who do not have contracts. This is
because the company is already over
stocked with ores at it's East Helena
plant from contract shippers, and has
no room in which to store additional.
1t is understood another reason for
this order is to be found in the unset
tied condition of the metal markets
in the east. The company has thou
sands upon thousands of dollars tied
up in ores bought, and further drops
in prices would mean that much more
loss. The order will not affect the
number of men employed
The Black Jack mine at Corbin is
the scene of reported copper, gold
and silver strike. The property is
owned by Helena and Great Falls
men. The strike was made on the
hanging wall at the 250-foot level,
while the first discovery of ore was
made on the foot wall.
Smeltermen, carpenters and engi-
neers' unions of Butte have voted to
accept the reduced wage scale agree
mept by the Amalgamated Copper &
Mining companies under it's recent
agreement. About 1900 men are af-
fected.
A 15-foot ledge of rich copper-gold
ore has been opened in the lower tun-
mel on the Monarch property, a
group of seven claims in the Rapid
river district in central Idaho.
Forty-five feet of low grade copper
and iron ore has been opened up by
the crosscut tunnel on the property of
the recently organized Butte Occur
d'Alene Copper Mining company which
adioins the Boston Colby property
near Saltese.
Good ore is showing in the lower
tunnel on the Victoria Empire prop

Turner, who returned recently from
visit to the mine.
Rumors of the proposed curtilment
of the output of all lead-silver mines
in the Occur d'Alene district, includ-
ing the mines of the Federal company
and those being developed by the in
dependent operators, because of the
alleged oyerproduction of lead in the

free milling gold ore has been opened

was made at depth of 70 feet and
about 70 feet from the tunnel portal.
The ore, according to assays made at
Grangeville, carries about $500 in
gold to the ton.

OBEY THE TEXT.-In the Iowa
town where Mark Twain used to re-
side, the following story of him is oc-
casionally handed about, says Lippin-
colts.
One morning when he was busily
at work an acquaintance dropped In
upon him with the request that he
take walk, the acquaintance having
an errand on a pleasant country road
How far is it?" temporized Mark
Twain.
"Oh, about a mile" replied the
friend.
Instantly the humorist gathered his
papers together, laid them aside and
prepared to leave his desk.
"Of course 1 will Co." he announc-
ed, "the Bible says l must"
why, what in the world has the
Bible got to do with it?" asked the
puzzled friend.
1T distinctly commands" answered
Mr.. Clemens, off a man ask thee to
go with him a mile, go with him.

A TERRIFIC ABYSS.-More than half
der water two miles deep; 100000
square miles lie at a depth of $4,000
feet or more. Many places have been
found five miles or more in depth
The greatest depth yet sounded is
3l,200 feet near the island of Guam
If Mount Everest, the worlds high
est mountain, were plucked from its
seat and dropped into this spot the
the waves would still roll 1000 feet
above it's crest.
Into this terrific abyss the waters
press down with force Of more than
10000 pounds to the square inch. The
staunchest ship ever built would be
crumpled under this awful pressure
like an eggshell under a steam roller
A pine beam Is feet long, which held
open the mouth of trawl used in
making a cast at depth Of more than
$4,000 feet, was crushed flat as If II
had been passed between rollers.
The body of the man who should
attempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstices of the
bone and his trunk was no larger
than a rolling pin. Still. the body
would reach the bottom, for anything
that will sink in a tub of water will
sink to the uttermost depths of the
ocean.-Eugene Willoughby in The
Ocean.

At Vladivostok the Russian East
Asiatic steamship should await the ar
rival of the express. The run from
Vladivostok to Tsuruga in Japan Is
comparatively short, and the journey
thence to Yokohama takes about half
a day. The little toy trains in Japan,
with their boyish attendants, afford a
striking contrast to the Russian rail-
ways. The man who can go through
Japan in one day, as has to be done
in this forty-day Journey must have
iron resolution, for the charming seem
cry and the winning people invite him
to stay. Yokohama Is a half Euro
pean town, with every European COM
fort, and its hotels are worthy Of
Northumberland avenue. Here we
catch the Canadian Pacific steamship,
and the long sea run to Vancouver be-
gins.
The C. P. r. boats are exceedingly
comfortable and we'll managed. The
only disadvantage Of the Vancouver
route is its roughness, for owing to
the steamers taking the northerly
have fairly tempestuous voyages. The
Honolulu San Francisco route has to
go through much smoother seas; but
1t requires several days longer. From
Vancouver one has an endless pano-
rama. The "Over-Seas Limited" the
fine C. P. R. continental train, rivals
the Siberian express in luxury. At
Quebec, after the great continental run
from west to east, one finds the new
$4,000 ton Atlantic steamers of the
same company waiting, and less than
a week afterward one is back in Lon
don.
BY this journey one sees the coming
Powers of the earth in the making
Starting from London, the centre OF
civilization today, and passing through
Moscow, the centre of a great civiliza-
ton Of yesterday, one finds in Siberia
new. Russia that will yet be greater
than old Russia ever was. From Har-
bin onward one comes in close contact
with new Japan. and learns a little OF
her colonizing methods. her official
ways, her weakness and her inherent
strength. Vancouver reveals New
Britain, and as one gazes on the fine
cities, the prosperous communities and
the air Of freedom among England's
sons from Vancouver to Halifax, one
realizes that flag and race are some
thing more than signs Of arbitrary d.
vision They are for us symbols of
world leadership.-London Daily Mail.
