MINES AND MINING.

Attempts have been made to GUST F..
Augustus Heinze's employees from the
Silver King mine near Wardner &C.
cording to seemingly reliable reports
from that place.
The Spokane Mine Exchange will re-

has been made between stock brokers.
Boundary (B. c. ore shipments took
big squirt last week, being more than
5000 tons above those of the previous
week and making a new highwater
mark for shipments in one week from
this district. CRANKY has been ship
ping heavier than ever, to keep the
battery of eight blast furnaces busy
continuously. One day this week more
than 1000 tons having been sent out by
both railways for this one company
alone.
A promising body of ore has been
opened up in the old Anderson copper
mine, six miles east of Troy, near the
main canyon of Big Bend creek, Idaho.
Baker City, Ore.-A body of ore
which assays 80 per cent copper, SIS in
gold and SO in silver has been opened
up on East Eagle creek. The ore is
about two or three miles from the near
est wagon road and has to be tran
sported this distance on pack horses,
as it is Impossible to get to the mine
with wagon. The discoveries of the
mine are taking out two carloads to
send to the smelter to learn the aver
age amount Of copper carried.
This week at the East Helena plant
of the American Smelling and Rein
ing company, another blast furnace
will be blown in, making the fourth in
operation. This step has been neces-
STATED by the renewed activity in min
ing in the Helena and adjacent dis.
tricts. With the exception Of lead
ores from the Occur d'Alenes, only
Montana ores are being smelted at
East Helena for the first time on rec
ord.

by private corporations and by the

| ing up vast tracts of bituminous Goa
lands within radius of 70 miles of Ia
coma.
Interests connected with the Davis
Daily Estates Copper company declart
that large shipments of ores to the
Washoe smelter will be begun before
long. When F. Augustus Heinze set
tied his Butte litigation with thu
Amalgamated Copper company severa
months ago he secured, as part of thu
deal, a contract assuring favorable
rates at the Washoe smelter for Davis
DAILY and La France ores. 1t is ex
pected he shortly will be able to TAX
advantage of the benefits of this con
tract.
