 The steamship Halyord cleared from this port this morning with 2,65o tons of copper-gold ore, l, $50 tons of which WAS from the Jumbo mine, of the Alaska Industrial company at Sulzer, and S0 tons from the Rush and Brown mine at karta bay, all consigned to the Tyee shelter at Ladysmith, B. C.
 The Nit. Andrew shipments during the month of September aggregated ,, 5.0 tons, all of which went to the Britannia shelter at Crofton. B. C. This amount could have been enlarged upon had the transportation desired by the local management been sup piled. However. that is doing pretty well for Q mine which less than year ago had made no shipments at all, and which this year bids fair to achieve product of close to loo. GOO tons.
 The more recent developments at and around karta bay are such as to afford almost a certainty of the large extent and permaneucy of the rich ore deposits of that immediate section. Aside from the cutting of the rich ore bcdy at the Goodro. of which brief mention has been made, the work in progress at the Rush and Brown gives promise of most satisfactory results soon 10 be realized. The working shaft. which has been sunk to develop the large magnetic ore body. is down to Q depth of l00 feet below the first level. or 199 feet below the sur face. and a. the bottom a station has been cut out, from which drifting is in progress towards the ore body, with indications that the latter will De reached in a very short time, if in- deed, it shall not have been opened into by the time this item is printed. On this second level a cross-cut will be extended to undercut the sulphide ere body. which at the first level lies about l5o feet to the north of the mag neti,e deposit, but as the sulphide dips towards the magnetic at an angle of about 6l degrees. the cross-cut on the lower level may be expected to reach the first mentioned in a distance of not more than 100 feet from the shaft The magnetic is contact deposit. adjacent to an intrusive diorite mass composed of chalcOpyrite and magne- tite in gangue of calcite, garnet and epidote, while the sulphide ore body occupies sheering planes in the bed ded country rock, and is composed Of massive pyrite and chalcopyrite with out the gangue minerals noted in con- nection wigh the other ere body. When these underground connections are completed the mine will be in condition for large and economical production.
 . J. Cuthbert Welch is again in town from a conference with those now in control of the Alaska Copper company, and gives it as his opinion that opera tions at Coppermount will be renewed within the next thirty days. Be says the old incapables have been entirely eliminated from any and all part in ] the control and management. and that those now in control have abundant means with which to set the property squarely on it's feet once more, and to carry out the plans agreed upon as q consideration for being placed in the saddle That is all we'll enough, as
 far as 1t goes, but it may not be amiss to remind these. that intel Iigent and experienced management ] immediately OH the ground is more ! essential to the success of any mining
 enterprise than an abundance oi
