NEWS FROM \ n
The MINES.

Heap-O'Brien shaft is proving
to be a very rich property. Two
hand jigs are at work and max.
ling very rich ore.
The twenty acres just north Of
the Hannibal and st. Joe has
been leased to Illinois parties,
who are now drilling it..
Ollie Youse is drilling on the
Irish Maid lease just to the east
of the Heap-O'Brien diggings.
This property will be put into
operation as soon as the drilling
is completed.
The Common Law has struck
tits regular formation and is
making some very fine ore. The
face is the same as that being
worked by the Mason and equally
as rich.
The new development on. the
twenty acre lease north of the
Lancaster mine, is being pushed
by Charley Gregory for the Lu-
Their Mining Company, an Okla
homa City corporation.
Shaft No. l on the Wichita
lease is progressing nicely. The
ore in the drillings of this land
should be in the same rich ore
bed on which the Mason and
McAllister are working.
Hannibal and St. Joe mill is
making a good showing and the
underground development is pro-
crossing to such an extent that
the mill will be kept running to
full capacity in the near future.
Sunburst shaft, No. 2 went in
to operation Monday of this week.
No. 3 has been turning out its
usual awSSiIint OF ore. No. ! is
down to the 50-foot level and the
sinking is progressing nicely.
Billy Earle is drilling on the
Little Four lease and has made
an excellent strike of rich ore at
the so foot level. This cores
ponds to the run of ore that the
Hawkeye is working in that
direction.
Hobo mine is being put into
operation this week, together
with the Omaha mines A new
pump has been put into the south
shaft of the Omaha property,
where heavier water has shown
up than at any time in the past.
Baxter Royalty Company lease
to P. M. Miller of Muskogee, the
land joining the Golden Hen, in
the Miami camp. This lease
carries 20 per cent royalty on
account of the richness of the
ore.
All the bins at the Lancaster
are heaped up with ore again
and no doubt will be sold this
week. The large blocks of free
ore taken from the mine are set

with and certainly should be

sinking to the north, with the
ore making in that direction.
The new centrifugal pump was
started at the 81 M. & M. Co,
property this week, and the
pump troubles of Ben Brooks are
now at an end. This mine il
now in shape to run steadily and
with the fine showing of ore
that it has, should lead the mills
of its size in the camp.
The Mission was out of com
mission for two days the past
week on account of the heavy
rains of the first of the week,
which caused a break in the dan
across the creek, which is being
used as pond. But this break
was soon fixed and the property
is now going at its usual gait.
The NJ. X. & T. mine and mill
were started the past week and
it certainly looks good to see
this property again in the pro-
ducing list. This puts about
fifty per cent of the mills into
operation in this camp and we
believe this will compare fairly
well with the older camps for
present activities.
! Christ Newland, president of
the Columbus Coal Co., was down
to the Newland mine this week
arranging to start the property
up. This is reported to be one
of the easiest mines in the camp
to break down the ore in, as it is
made in a sewage formation in
a conglomerate mass. The ore
is easily cleaned and very rich.

GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.
Plan to save Two Days Between
Head of Lakes and Ocean.

Washington, March 21.-Canada, as
well as the United States, is beginning |
to realize the value of it's natural re-
sources. While the United States is
developing its rivers and making use
of these for navigation and water
power, Canada is also giving attention
to this very important part of de-
veloping its interior. Consul A. G.
Seyfert of Collinwood, Ontario, has
just advised Washington that the en-
gineer in chief of the Georgian bay
canal survey has presented to the
Dominion parliament an extensive re-
port which deals largely with the so
called Georgian bay along the French
river, a distance of 81 miles.
The approximate estimated cost of
the canalization of the French river
Georgian bay canal contemplates a
ship canal of a depth of % feet, and
provides for the creation of three
reaches between the Georgian bay and
Lake Nipissing by means of locks and
dams, the lift of the locks varying
from % to "a feet.
The report also contains a general
review of the whole scheme from
Georgian bay to Montreal, distance
of 440 miles. 1t is pointed out that
the ascent from Georgian bay to sum-
NIT level is SO feet, while the descent
from summit level to Montreal is $50
feet, making a total lockage of 1853
feet. This would be overcome by 81
locks, varying in lift from 10 to so
feet. The report points out that the
proposed canal would mean a great
saving in distance from the interior
to the British market From Fort
William to Liverpool via New York is
1929 miles while via the Georgian
bay canal it would be only 4,123
miles, a saving of sos miles in favor
of the route via the Georgian bay.
Ottawa and Montreal. The route is
also described as practically chain
of deep lakes or wide river expansions.
so that the construction of the pro-
posed canal would involve the canal
ization of only 275 miles. leaving 357
miles of free navigation.
1t is computed that the route will
be about two days faster for each
trip from the head of the lakes to an
ocean port than any other route apart
also from it's advantages in having an
enormous superiority as to carrying
capacity. This would naturally have
a great tendency to reduce transporta-
ton rates on grain and other products
and in case of congestion at the ter
Tainal elevators at Port Arthur and
Fort William, before the close OF
navigation, the great depth of the
waterway would enable the largest
lake boats to reach an ocean port
fully loaded without breaking bulk
The geographical position of the
waterway is also excellent, as it viii
be Independent of all internationa
waters, being fed at its summit BY
waters well within Canadian territory
It's northern latitude would also be O.
some advantage for the transportation
E of perishable foodstuff during the no
season, as compared with the south
ern route through Chicago and tn,
Mississippi river. The canalization O
the Ottawa river will also be of dis
tinct benefit by creating PRACTICAL,
unlimited water power more than hal
developed, which will be available 70

DISPENSARY BILL PASSES.
Oklahoma's Plan for Control of the
Liquor Traffic.

Guthrie, March 21.-Both houses
of the legislature passed the state dis
pensary system measure with the
emergency clause. An amendment by
Speaker Murray of the house provides
that there shall be a special election
held this year to vote on the dispen-
sary bill. The vote will be taken af-
ter the dispensary system is establish
ed. The governor will sign sometime
today. There will be a dispensary in
every town of two thousand or more
and in every county seat. After the
election, in case the people sustain it,
the bill gives the governor the power
to place a dispensary any place in the
state at his own discretion.

GRAND PACIFIC ATTIRE.
Hotel in Chicago Damaged to the Elk
tent of 100000.

Chicago, March 21.-Fire resulting
from crossed electric light wires,
damaged the Grand Pacific hotel to
the extent of 100000, and for time
threatened entire destruction of the
building. No lives were lost, al
though many of the guests were COM
PEELED to make hasty exits by the fire
escapes, and but three persons were
injured. Two of these were in the
crowd in front of the hotel and were
slightly cut by falling glass. The
third was a fireman who suffered
fracture of the left arm.
The fire was discovered by James
Ryan, mechanic who was at work
upon the roof of the building. Two
weeks ago a portion OF the motel
smokestack was blown down in a gale
of wind, and Ryan was in charge OF
a gang which was putting up the new
stack He was in the act of placing
a block under one corner Of der
rick, when a small tongue of flame
hot up into his face. He at once
gave the alarm.
For a considerable time it was not
believed that the fire would be ser
ious. 1t was generally known that
repairs On the smokestack were in
progress and when the first clouds of
smoke rolled along the roof and
drifted down into the hotel court they
were generally believed to come either
from the defective stack or from the
apparatus in use by the workmen on
the roof. Manager E. A. Whipple of
the hotel for sometime contended
that there was no fire and assured the
guests that there was no danger. He
! was soon informed by bell boy, how
ever, that the flames had broken
through the roof at the northwest
corner of the building and Immediate
| ly issued orders to warn all guests to
| leave their rooms and come to the Of
| fee. The telephone switchboard was
at once put into requiSition and all
guests possible were advised to leave
| their rooms. A corps of walters and
| other hotel attendants hurried
| through the Railways giving addition
| al warning.
| Dense clouds of smoke poured out
| of the building. 1t was soon evident
| that the halls afforded no certain
safety, and many of the guests came
| down the fire escapes on the east,
| south and west sides.
The flames were confined by des-
| perate work to the north wing of the
| hotel. When the employees of the
/ hotel responded to the calls of Ryan
| they found a linen closet on the
| eighth floor to be entirely ab1aze,
From this point the flames spread
| along the entire north part of the
| eighth floor from the rear of the
building to the front, ate through
into and cleaned out the same por-
ton of the seventh floor, and also de-
| floor. At this point the fire was
| checked after a severe struggle. The
| entire hotel, however, was completely
| flooded with water and the damage
| from this latter source constituted the
larger part of the loss.
