 From Tuesdays Lailyl
 The Tug Mary D. Hume, towing the barge Case, passed down Sun- day bound for Maple bay, from which place they will take cargo of ore to the Hadley shelter.
 The steamship Halvard cleared to- day with cargo of ,. 800 tons of Mt. Andrew ore for the Britannia at Crofton. B. c. This will temporarily relieve the congestion at this mine, the bunkers of which have been full to overaowing for the past ten days.
 The Miner made mistake the other day in stating that the last cargo taken by the Haldis included 500 tons of ore from the Rush ard Brown mine. karta hay. The fact was that she brought down 700 tons of ore from the mines at Whitehorse. '. T., and fill ed up to her full carrying capacity at the Jumbo mine. Sulzer.
 Among the freight landed from the Dolphin this morning was lot of pack saddles for the Alaska-Galena (Moou- sinel Mining Company fact indicative of an intention 10 begin the shipment of ore. in a small way at least, at an early day. The ore of this mine is sufficiently rich 10 stand packing to the beach. pending the installment of an aerial tramway. the cost of which II is believed can be met from the earnings of the mine itself, in the meantime.

 \ hOisting engine has been installed on the Jessie claim of the Princeton Mining and Milling Company. near Dolomi. and work on a shaft commen- ced. which will be sunk 10 depth of 1o1 feet. The Jessie is on the same lode with the Valparaiso, which be- longs to the same company, and from which some shipments of unusually high grade ore have heretofore been made. The company is working Q force of 9 miners. and is taking out ore at the Valparaiso, the richest of which will be shipped this fall, the lower grades being retained for reduc- tion on the ground pending the install lation of 8 mill the company has in contemplation, and which the manage rnent expects 10 have ready for opera tion early next spring.
 At the Jumbo mine of the Alaska Industrial company, the electric drills have been installed and are work ing b the complete satisfaction Of the management. The mine is now producing about 2500 tons monthly, while at the same time the work of development looking to an increase of production is in progress. The trans portation of product to the smelter is under contract to the Mckenzie line, which expects to enlarge it's capacity in the near future, and thus enable the mine to more promptly and expe- di;iously handle it's product.
 The Miner has it from good author. ! ity that the movement on foot to reor. ! ganize the Alaska Copper company or a sound and substantial basis is likely 70 result in the early rehabilitation of the mine and shelter at Copper mount. It all depends upon the will ! ingness of certain creditors to com. ! promise their claims, so that the labor indebtedness may be given first ant : paramount consideration. The reor ganization. if effected, will not only put the property on it's feet but result !! in the elimination for the management and control of the property the ele .nent to the incompetency, to ssl nothing worse. however true it nigh be. of which the company owes i present embarrassment.
 At the Niblack Mine cross-cu from the bottom of the main shaft, CT the 30O level. is in progress in fn' quality of ore, the extent of which however, has not yet been determined This ore body. lies at depth of d least 2J0 feet below the level of tn ssa at the high tide, and seemingly settles satisfactorily the long moOte,
