which Seattle citizens have hoped and labored for
many months, is today an accomplished fact. At
noon, with crash of many bands of music, the
booming of many cannon and the cheers of thou
sand of people, the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposi-
tion was officially thrown open to the public
The electric spark loosed by President Taft
at the White House set in motion the machinery in
the great exposition buildings and released an enor-
nous American flag from the top of high flag pole.
This the signal for ten minutes of wild cheering
by the 10000 persons who had collected at the nat
ural ampitheatre to witness the birth of the great

For the first time since the STRAIT

increase shown for the month is large

crease of about 1000 tons was noted
in the smelling grade ore shipped. but
this loss was more than made up by
corresponding increase in the tonnage
treated at the mill. The average val

MAKING MOVING PICTURES.

where cinematograph films are made.
The company operating the business
has a large tract of land fitted up as
an amphitheater, within which are en-
acted the blood-curdling scenes which
delight audiences in the moving pic

made depicting the death Of young
Christian maiden in den of lions.
Vestal virgins, courtiers and knights
marched around the arena and then
took seats safely outside a huge cage.
A young girl was strapped upon a

MARKET IS
IMPROVED
HAD STRONGER TONE THROUGH
OUT YESTERDAY - BETTER
THINGS EXPECTED TODAY
INSPIRATION HAS $4,000, 900.

The Boston Financial News thus
comments on Inspirations:
The development work that is be-
ing carried on at the Inspiration is
giving very satisfactory results and
is fast bringing the property to a
point where its real value can be
more accurately estimated. At the
present time the work in the Joe
Bush shaft has reached a depth OF
$50 feet and at this point the ore
is much better than it was when
first struck at the depth of 80 feet.
This ore will average go in copper
and is better concentrating material
than is found in many of the sur
rounding mines. Recently six churn
drill holes have been put down and
in each case the ore body has been
struck at a depth of between two
and three hundred feet. Two more
churn drill holes will soon be put
to work near the line of the Cor
dova property. ,g..iE T. III
According to the most conservative
estimates made by experienced min
ing men in the district the ore body
already developed at the Inspiration
by means of the shaft and churn
drills is fully 500 feet wide and q
900 feet long and in depth it is not
less than 100 feet and probably ex-
tends downward for fully 500 feet.
An ore body of the length and width
named and 100 feet deep in ore of
the kind which the Inspiration is
now working in, would include no
less than IS, 100000 tons of ore, and
for each 100 feet of depth 10000
900 tons would be added. Thus at
the lowest estimate and figuring the
ore at not more than 81 a ton the
company has $4,000, 900 worth of
copper in sight at the present time.

GETTING
GOOD ORE
SHIPPING FROM NORTH SIDE OF
WHITE PINE MOUNTAIN
SHALLOW WORKINGS PRO-
DUCE GOOD GRADE.

Hugh Coyle enjoys the distinction
of being the only shipper from the
Hamilton district during the sum-
mer. From practically virgin ground
on the north side of White Pine
mountain Mr.. Coyle has been sending
a fine quality of ore to the shelters
at Salt Lake. Three teams are at
present engaged hauling the ore to
Eureka, forty-two miles. The ore
that is being placed on the dump
carries good values in gold, silver
and lead, and will average $50 a ton
in the three metals.
Mr.. Coyle has been handicapped
considerably in the past" said Fred
Beck, who is over from Hamilton,
4because he vas compelled to handle
the ore many more times than was
really necessary. He has one shaft
to depth of so feet, and a short dis
lance away is another shaft 20 feet
deep. A drift 100 rect long connects
the two shafts. 1t is in this drift
that Coyle is stopping his best ore."
Nothing is being done on any
of the other properties. Ed. McEllin
is arranging to have the Young
Treasure and adjoining claims
patented. Until then the ground will
be allowed to remain idle The Young
Treasure has been the largest ship
per from Hamilton in past years.
