 The Hadley Shelter started up last Saturday, and is running smoothly and satisfactorily, though the run will not be one long duration, owing to the scant supply of coke on hand. The coke supply arranged for has not be- gun to be delivered, but it is believed will be sufficient to all requirements when the new coking plant from which it is to be drawn is got into active operation. In the meantime, during the next enforced suspension of smelt- CT operations, the new hot blast, the dust chamber and heater for which are expected to arrive within the next two weeks, will be put in, and the force otherwise employed on im- provements now under way, all calcu- lated to increase the efficiency of the shelter and facilitate and reduce to a minimum of cost the handling of ore, coal and coke. Two new dams have been constructed, thus insuring larg- CT and more reliable water supply, while steam dredge, or digger, !" for the discharge of cargoes of ore, coal and coke from the larger vessels is being put in, the work on which is well on the way to completion. The hot blast, which is the invention of Mr. Thos. Riddle, the manager, will effect not only a saving of large per centage of fuel, but at the same time materially increase the output of the furnaces.

 The Delhi passed down last evening with cargo of 1900 tons of marble from the quarries of the American Mable company, at Calder, Prince of Wales island, and $500 cases of salmon from the Shakan cannery. The mar ble is consigned direct to San Fran cisco-the salmon to Seattle.
 The Transit, the first of the British Coast Steamship liners, was taking on bunker coal at Nanaimo on the 18th, intending to go from there to Van couver for cargo of 1900 tons of pow der, lumber. etc., for Prince Rupert and Maple bay, from which last place she is to bring 1900 tons of ore to the Hadley shelter. Though no definite arrangements have been made for it, her management expects to take full cargo of ore from one or more of our mines to Vancouver island smelters.

 The bunk house at the Moonshine mine was destroyed by fire yesterday morning, necessitating temporary suspension of mining operations until other accommodation for the men can be provided. Most of the miners came into town last night, but will return to work again as soon as quart CTS can be made ready for them. The fire, the origin of which is not known, broke out about 10 o'clock while the men were at work, and the first know ledge of it came to them from the dis charge of the guns which had been left in the place which, together with everything else were destroyed. The men lost all their clothing, except that which they were wearing at the ti1no. The bunk house was a mere shack, half board shanty and half tent, and the loss, except to the men and the delay to mining operations, is o1 little consequence.
 The steam schooner Washington cleared this forenoon with $50 tons o1 gypsum. from the Chicagoff quarries, and 12O tons of copper matte, from the Hadley shelter.
