is better than it has been for some
time past, and within a short time
the big plant will be smelling a daily
tonnage of ore unprecedented in its
history.
The supply of coke Is increasing at
Rossland, and on Friday the LIE Roi
smelter at Northport resumed opera
tons after being closed down for sew
eral weeks.
The Butte mill and smeltermen's
union failed to vote upon their propo-
sition to demand an increase in wages.
Jack Burke, one of the owners OF
the Agnes group of Big Sunday creek
near Saltese, Mont, reports that the
full face of the upper drift has broken
into a solid body of first class con
centrating ore. The drift has been
in ore carrying much iron, and the
strike was expected. The find was
made at a depth of about ITO feet.
Great excitement is reported in the
little town of Scott Mills, Marion coun-
ty, Oregon, over the recent discovery
made there of rich coal veins.
A strike Of great Importance was
recently made in the Scandinavian.
moth mine at Mace. Idaho, the big
property of the Federal Mining &
Smelling company. The shaft is down
to the 1850 foot level. where work
Of cutting a station was begun. Dur
ing the progress Of the work about
| 10 feet of very rich concentrating gal
n ore was exposed. The ore is so
rich that much of it might be ship
ped after hand sorting. The vein was
| supposed to be about 80 feet from the
station and the discovery of the ore
probably indicates a marked widen,
ing of the pay shoot. The other wall
is not yet in sight.
L. L.. Carter of Baker City, Ore.
acting for associates in Cincinnati,
has purchased the Brooklyn group OF
copper claims on the Snake river fol
$4,000. James, Rongold & Company

1t is reported from Grangeville, Ida

rich strike on his group of claims on
Maxwell creek in the Marshall lake
district. The ore vein is about two
feet wide on the footwall of a five foot
ledge, and carries much free gold, as
does the ore from the G~oodenough
mine. The find was made at the end
| OF a 275 foot crosscut tunnel.
Andrew Laidlaw has made the final
payment on the Galbraith coal mine
at Lundbreck, Alberta. Mr.. Laidlaw
will organize the Galbraith Coal con

At a meeting of the mine owners
in Nelson, B. c., recently a resolution
against the Sunday observance law
which went into effect March 1 was
passed, the contention being that the
miners preferred to work rather than
do nothing on that day, especially as
the season of work in some localities
is short.
An II foot vein of ore averaging
better than 81 a ton in gold and silver
has been opened by a crosscut on the
Southern Cross property, which lies
about 1000 feet east of the Daisy mine
near Mullan, Idaho.
With better coke supplies Bound
airy smelters are handling more ore
which is reflected in shipment re
turns.
The coming season is expected t.
be a record maker in Salmon river
Idaho, mining development. Begin
ming at Whitebird and going up thu
river as far as higgins, the place.
mines are getting ready for the sprins
work. The deep SHOWS and the fac
that the ground is saturated witt
moisture will furnish water for a mucl
longer season than usual.
Arrangements have just been com
pleted whereby the Maple Leaf, n O
the most promising copper %propertie
in Franklin camp, B. c., up the Nortl
Fork of the Kettle river, will be de
veloped on a vigorous scale directl,
as weather permits.
