operations have been consider
ably hampered for want Of water
power. The company is only
able to run the compressor about
three hours q day. The present
workings are in q fine grained
and unusually hard quartzite
carrying small values in copper.
The mine is located near Look

der the management of James
ID. Young.
MONARCH The big strike Of
ore which was made in the raise

/ the enlargement of the mill are
now being completed and it is
expected that shipments on an
extensive scale will commence in
the near future.
DIAMOND JOE - A special
meeting of stockholders has
been called for September Is.
| It is believed that arrangements
will be made for a continuation
Of work and that a small assess
ment will be levied. The proper
ty has been developed by means
of three crosscuts. The lowest of
these intersected the ledge at
about los feet from the portal
and IS feet Of drifting has been
done. The face Of this drift
shows ore assaying about Z per
cent lead and fair values in sill
yer, It is the intention to con-
tinue this drift. The property is
located near Carbon Center.

is reported that some chalcopy-
rite ore has been encountered in
the sinking of the shaft which

The first ledge was recently en-

ton.

BREvT|Es FROM VARIOUS PROPERTIES

Hedge. About 200 feet of work
has already been done and at a
point about 30 feet from the por-
tai a small stringer Of galena
was encountered on which a lit
tie drifting will continue at the
same time as the crosscut is be-
ing driven. The property adjoins
the holdings Of the Bryan mine
| in the Saltese section.
IMPERIAL Splendid prog
ress is being made with the
driving Of the long lower tunnel
and almost $50 feet Of work was
done in August. Altogether the
tunnel and drift will be 27OO feet
long when completed and OF this
about 100 feet has been done.
Development has been hampered
to some extent by the want OF
water for power purposes but
this has been overcome by the
installation of an electric motor.
The property is near Burke and
is under the management OF
John H. Nordquist of this city.
CLEAR GRIT = Development
is progressing rapidly and the
showing at the mine continues
to improve from day to day. A

mine recently and have express
ed themselves as thoroughly sat-
isfed with the outlook. The
property is located about mile
north of Delta and is under the
management of r. B. Bohannon.
OROFINO-An inspection Of
the property was made during
the week by DR.. G. R. Stewart
| of Spokane. DR.. Stewart ex-
pressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the outlook and brought
back a number of samples Of
clean shipping ore. Arrange
ments have been made for the
erection Of a concentration and it
is expected that active work in
this direction will be commenced
in the near future. The proper
ty is located near Murray.
TAM O'SHANTER = As an
nounced in a recent issue of The
Miner. arrangements are being
made for a resumption of devel-
opment. A trip Of inspection to
the mine with this object in
view was made during the week

and D. C. Coates of Spokane.
The property is located in the
Osborne section and has a good
showing of ore in the upper
workings.
DANNEMORA-Oscar Nord-
quist and Frank Foreman Of
Wallace have gone out to the
mine to superintend the COM
mencement Of the sinking opera
tions which were decided on
some time ago. The shaft is to
commence at a point about 500
feet from the beginning of the
drift. The property is located
near Taft and has an excellent
showing of chalcopyrite ore.
ROCK ISLND DEVELOP.
MENT-Bids are being asked
for the sinking of a double CON-

the mine was made during the
week by Peter Balm and George
E. Marlowe. Steady progress is
being made with the long tun-
mel and a considerable amount Of
mineralized matter is now show
ing in the face. The property is
located in the Mullan section.
GUELPH-The indications in
the long drift are said to be ex-
cellent, and while a considerable
amount Of work still remains to
be done before point under the
upper workings is encountered,
it is believed that an ore shoot
may be encountered at almost
any time. The property is 10
Gated near the Hercules mine in
the Burke section and is prin-
cipally owned by Wardner and
Kellogg residents.
COLUSA-The drift is now in
over 300 feet and a good show
ing Of ore is being made al
though a considerable amount OF
work will still have to be done
before the ore shoot is broken
into. The mine is located on
Pine creek and lis being devel-
oped under the management OF
r. E. Moore Of Burke.
SHERMAN GROUP = Board
ing and bunk houses are being
erected preparatory to the win
ter campaign. The drift on the
vein is being steadily pushed
and the showing Of ore continues
to improve. The mine is located
on Pine creek.
WILBUR-A contract for 80
feet of work has been let to
Chris Anderson Of Burke. The
tunnel has already been driven
about 425 feet and it is believed
that the contract just let will be
sufficient to tap the ledge. The
claims adjoin the holdings of
the Occur d'Alene Lead Silver
mine in the Mullan section.
CHAMPION = Development
has been resumed and a large
supply Of provisions and equip
ment has been sent out to the
mine. The crosscut tunnel is to
be continued to tap the showing
made in the upper workings.
AS soon as this has been COM
pleted it is probable that lower
tunnel will be started. The
mine is located in the Stevens
Peak section and is under the
management of Adam O'Donnell

IRON INDUSTRIES OUTLOOK.
Mills Continue to Act Well Despite
Low Prices.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April The
Iron Trade Review says:
Despite the reports of extremely low
prices being made in some finish ii
lines. notably structural shapes and
steel bars. the mills continue to act
well in line with one another in the
solicitation and booking of business.
Although the open market offers the
opportunity for attractive orders to
commend concessions in competition,
there is no evidence to show that sucn
shading is unnecessarily severe or in
complete disregard of production
costs Some cutting has undoubtedly
been done. and is still under way. but
it is question if the deepness of II
is not being overdrawn at times.
The mills are getting a fair amount
of business in bars. plates. shapes and
merchant pipe. Tin plate operations
have increased rapidly during. the past
several weeks. and the American
Sheet and Tin Plate Company is now
running 81 per cent of its seryiceabie
capacity. General conditions. how
ever. are scarcely up To the point It
which the market broke in February.
and it remains to be shown by further
lapse of time whether any considerable
volume Of new business will he stimu-
lated by the reduced price level.
A stronger inclination toward weak
ness is shown in pig iron, although the
transactions through which conditions
are expressing themselves are not suf-
fcfent to show the true levels of the
market

CHAPTER ~.
The Bird Care.

The bird cage" at Pretoria was the
Enclosure wherein the captured British
officers were imprisoned during the Sec
ond quarter of the year 1900. Here at
the beginning of May two men were
talking quietly as they lay on the bare
ground in the center of the compound.
The bird cage was no home of luxury;
but the men who had perforce to live
In 1t tried to make the best of things.
and grumbling was tacitly discounte-
nanced. These two had become particular
chums For more than a month they
had talked over everything which seemed
of interest At first Of course 1t was the
war and all connected with II that in
terested them most. They were full of
hope; for though six months Of constant
reverses wee behind them they could
would prevail These two items of ex-
pected success were in addition to the
British army generally and the British
soldiers belief in 1t. When every battle
CT engagement which either of them had
been in had been fought over again. and
when their knowledge of other engage
ments and skirmishes had come to an
ject held out ior some time. The
memories of both were copious of pleasant
days and interesting episodes; and hopes
ran high of repetitions and variations
when the war should be over and the
Beers reduced to that acquiescence In
British methods and that loyalty to the
British flag which British pride now de-
and every Irritation within the bounds of
memory was recalled. without names or
naturalization marks.
Then. when they knew each other bet
