Sam Smith, Spokane, presidentof the
Matarana Mining & Development com
pany, Ltd, received word from T. p.
ing that they had struck ledge PC
feet wide which assays $4,000 per ton

and silver ore.
Kaslo (B. CO. Mines.
The ore shipments through Kaslo,
b. c., over the X. & S. railroad for the
month of August were the largest
known for any single month for some
years past. The output was 100 cars,
compiling a total of 1922 tons. OF this
amount, zinc ore formed the bulk with
1910 tons, and 4s2 tons of silver-lead
ore. The largest shipper was the
Whitewater, with a total combined out
put of 1910 tons of both classes of ore,
zinc predominating, and the Lucky Jim
was a close second with 900 tons of
zinc ore only.
Mining Man Arrested.
Jafet Lindeberg, the California mil
lionaire mine owner and discoverer of
Nome, has been arrested in the Alaska
city on two indictments charging per-
jury in connection with the trial of
the Bear Cub mining case. Lindeberg
was released under $4,000 bonds.
Blacktail Sold.
The Backtail Mining company s
property, located in the Republic dis
trict, has been sold to Spokane people.
f. E. Pritchard of Rosalia is at the
head of the new organization.
Boundary (B. CO. Mines
The ore shipments from Boundary,
(B. c. mines last week show another
small increase, 31,s62 tons being sent
to the different smelters. There were
only three shippers. The Hedley Gold
Mining company has taken over the
Nickel Plate, which is credited with be-
ing the largest gold property operat-
ing in Canada, and has now bright
prospects for greater possibilities.
Nuggets at Grass Roots.
The Innoko and Iditarod stampedes
have been the feature of the summer
in Alaska gold mining circles, but the
Koyol1u district is also making an un-
usual showing. M. e. Beatty, who ar
rived recently in Seattle from Nome,
says there is much doing on Wiseman,
Nolan and other creeks, and he esti-
mates the output as 100000, which,
according to population, is about $4,000
per man. Many claims on Nolan are
showing up big pay, especially on Pin
giles Bench, where big nuggets can be
picked up in the grass roots, but ow-
ing to lack of water little could be
done this season.
In the Occur d'Alenes.
Members of the mining institute,
which holds convention at Spokane
the week of September 27, win arrive
in Wallace on Sunday, September 20.
They will be given every opportunity

Work on the raise in the Monarch
mine, east of Murray, has been sus-
pended until immense ore bins can be

Good progress is being made in driv-
ing the lower crosscut tunnel at the
Turino group near Mullan.
A six drill compressor plant is to
be installed at the Caledonia property

van.
Development operations at the Pitts
burg Lead property have been sus

ing the inability of the management
to find the ore at depth.
