MINES IN MANY CAMPS.

Paul Brombrosky, a miner, was &C
.cidentally killed recently on the
fourth level Of the Morgan mine at
Black Diamond, Wash, by a large
rock falling from the roof of the
level.
A three-foot vein of rich zinc ore
has been cut on the lower level of
tee Golden Eagle property of Spring
gulch, near Carter, Montana.
A strike Of free-milling gold ore
has been made in the ]. F. group,
Idaho. 1t is reported that the strike
was made in a tunnel which has
been run about 800 feet, cutting the
ledge at $50 feet depth.
There is still a great profit in the
production Of copper, declares F. Au-
gustus Heinze, who has been one of
the most conspicuous figures in the
copper trade for many years. HeinEe
says that he believes copper will not
go below IA cents a pound, probably
not below 14R at the lowest, and
that the surplus metal on hand can
be worked off easily at the present
low prices.
The old Mayfower property near
Wallace will be reopened at once,
after a shutdown of several months.
The ledge in the property is ex-
posed at the $50 foot level and a drift
will be run to cut the ore shoot.
The Spokane Stock Brokers' asso-
citation resumed the calls Monday
and will hold one call a day at 10
o'clock in the morning.
The mill on the Kendall mine in
central Montana will probably be
enlarged so that it will treat $50 tons
Of ore a day, instead of only 500, the
present capacity. The enlargement
will be necessary or account of the
fact that all North Moccasin ores
will be treated at the Kendall plant.
A further reduction in the price OF
copper was made Saturday by the
United Metals Selling company and
Phelps, Dodge & Co. The reduction
was to Is IA cents for 80 days de-
livery, which is the equivalent of a
rate of Is cents fiat. This was for
electrolytic copper.
1t is announced that the reduc-
ton in the output of copper in the
Butte district was 60 per cent in
stead of so per cent, which was the
original intention. If conditions die
not improve a further reduction
would be made.

group of claims in the Zortman dis
trict, Chouteau county, Mont, has
made a splendid strike in it's Ala
bama mine. The ore, of a cyanidins
character, runs from $40 to $50
ton.
Reports of a second strike of high
grade ore in mines located on tn
shores of lake Pend d'Orielle reached
Spokane Saturday. The Minerv'
mine, located on Granite creek, trit
utary to the lake, yesterday encour
tered three feet of shipping galeni
at a depth of 400 feet in the lowe
l level.
: While Boundary (B. CO. mines or
shipments are not up to the high wi
ter mark of last week-over 41,O0
tons-still for the current week the
, run well up to 5000 tons daily.
