MINES IN MANY CAMPS.

MuN6S tN MANI OAmP9s
The richest strike in the history of
the Kendall district has been made
with the discovery of an entirely new
body of ore In the North Moccasin,
owned by John A. Drake, Chicago
and New York millionaire. Mr.. Drake
has opened up what Is said to be one
of the richest beds Of cyanide ore ever
found in Montana. and 1t insures large
earnings for the company of which
he is the head.
Nelson, B. C.-J. L. Ratallack has
left for Ottawa as delegates from the
Nelson board Of trade and as a repre-
sentative of the lead mine owners of
the SLOGAN. Mr.. Ratallack carried
with him a carefully prepared state
ment with detailed figures of the lead
| industry. The bounty on lead expires
in June next, and it is asked that the
dominion government extend it for
five years, making it payable with
lead at 10 pounds and under instead of
16 pounds or under, as before. The
| figures show conclusively the tremen-
dous effect the bounty has had upon
the production of lead. Mines which
had closed down when there was no
bounty opened up again. The produc-
ton of lead, which was dropping year
by year before 1903, has increased
again until the output is larger than
ever before. The Canada Zinc works
has applied for franchise for the
carrying of a heavy voltage line
through the city to their works. This
probably will not be granted, as a by
law will have to be passed by the peo-
pie, great majority of whom favor
the ownership by the public of all
public franchises.

Gently
Indianapolis, Ind.-Fresh from the
hospital at Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
John Mitchell, head of the United
Mineworkers, came here to lay down
the reins of government of the strong
est labor organization in the world.
Tuesday Mitchell, as president, called
the annual convention of his organiza-
ton to order and delivered his final
address as president. He feels that
he has fought with them through the
crisis in their affairs and now lays
down the reins of government with
health shattered, but confident the
organizations has an even chance with
it's employers. Vice President Lewis
will be his successor. Lewis, always
a radical, is more conservative than
formerly, but still insists the union
will not stand for any wage cutting.
Two feet of ore, rich in native silver,
has been opened up on the footwall of
the big ledge exposed at the 300 foot
level of the United Copper Mining
companys property, which lies about
six miles from Chewelah. Native sill
yer was never before found in the Che.
welah, Wash. district.
Goldfeld Nev.-A charter for the
Nevada Miners union, Incorporated
was filed with the county clerk recent

to displace the Western Federation OF
Miners in the Goldfield district and

association.
