MINING NEWS

Smelling contracts for a sufficient
amount of zinc ore from the Lucky
Jim mine, Princeton, B. c., have been
secured to justify beginning mining
operations at the property and force
will be put to work Immediately.
A special dividend Of the Interstate
Nine-Mile district of the Occur
d'Alenes, was declared Saturday,
amounting to 50 the share, or $4,000,
on August 10.
The management of the Interstate
Callahan Mining Co., operating the
Consolidated Interstate Callahan mines
on Nine Mile, in the Occur dAlenes.
has announced that betterments to
cost not less than $4,000 are to be
begun soon.
The Standard Silver-Lead at Silver
ton, B. c., which recently secured
lead smelling contract from the Trail
smelter that is regarded as one of the
best in effect in the Northwest, is op-
Grating both the mine and the mill,
storing the zinc concentrates until a
contract can be gotten.
The SLOGAN Star mine and mill are
about IS men and producing IA tons of
zinc concentrates and four to five tons
of lead concentrates. The ore shoot
was encountered recently on the 900
foot level, and preparation are being
made to drift for the vein on the 1000
foot level, with every assurance of Sc
curing the shoot there also.
The prevailing metal prices, which,
in the aggregate, are higher than ever
before, are stimulating mining activ-
ity throughout the United States and
British Columbia. The best reports of
conditions obtainable indicate that the
greatest increase In the industry is in
the Occur d'Alenes. where the larger
operating properties, with the excep-
ton of the Hercules, are producing at
capacity, while the smaller mines are
being gotten into shape to produce as
soon as possible and the scores of
prospects are being developed as rap
idly as circumstances will permit.
Reports were circulating in mining
circles this week that the Day inter
ests had closed the deal for the
Northport smelter that has been pend
ing for several weeks, and that con-
troll of the plant and site, together
with the lime deposit and water rights
would be transferred Immediately. It
also is rumored that arrangements
have been made to reopen the Hercu-
les mine, at Burke, Idaho, closed down
since May 20, with reduced force,
about July Is, but no definite confir-
nation of either report could be OBJ
tanned. It is said that the output Of
the Hercules Is to be treated at either
a Utah or Colorado smelter not asso-
. ciated with the American Smelling &
Refining Co., which had the contract
prior to suspension.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Business generally has been good
during the week, with the outlook
rather improved than otherwise by
the development of the advancing sea-
son. That times are better is quite
readily apparent in practically all
branches of activity. That the trend
Labor is now fairly we'll employed,
and there will be requirements for the
handling of the crops that will still
further reduce the percentage Of idle
men during the next three months.
Financial conditions, as reflected by
bank statements, hold favorable, with
a larger demand for money in evidence
for the moving of the crops.
In the lumber trade the week, as
usual, has been quiet one.
Butter-Due to the curtailment OF
the milk supply the figures on all To-
this week, which is in sympathy with
the advance made on the coast last
week. This makes the quotations 81
030c. The demand is steady. At
Eggs-The undertone Of the market
became much firmer this week and
quotations were marked up SOC per
case, making the figures $6.5007.5O.
Cheese-There has been further i'm
provement in the situation as regards
cheese and triplets are up to the 100
mark, with brick holding at zoe. Other
lines are quoted at 17@20c, with good
offerings and fair demands.

producers being engaged in harvest.

Dressed Meats--With cattle in some

easy at 10c, with steer beef at lie.
Mutton Is also coming in freely, and
quoting down to 12@13c, with lamb
at 16@17c. Pork still holds at former

Cured Meats-The only change
noted this week Is slight recession
on dry salt sides from 13c to 12c, and
the undertone on both hams and bacon
is strong, with lard ruling easy at II
@l1hc.
Berries-The berry market has held
rather firm during the week, the only
change in quotations being the slight
stiffening in the quotation for black
caps from $1.25@1.50 to $1.50. Sup
plies in most lines have been coming
in freely and the demand has been bet

more marked than in the past Goose
berries are out of the wholesale mar
