MINING NOTES

The Idora Hill Mining Co. will in
stall two Janney flotation machines at
| its mill.
Three times as much zinc concen-
trates were shipped from the Kootenai
Boundary district of British Column
bia during February this year as were
shipped during the same month of
1915. The SLOGAN Star Of Sandon leads
the list with 670 tons and the Sulli-
van at Kimberley shipped GAS tons.
Neither of these was shipping zinc a
year ago. The other shippers in Feb
ruary were Utica, 40; Lucky Jim, 312;
Standard, 1870; Hewitt, 90. The total
was 1877 tons and the total for Feb
ruary was 623 tons.
The profits of the Butte & Supe-
rior, Butte's great zinc mine, during
February were $1,350000, or at the
rate of $16,000,000 year. These earn
ings are at the rate of 500 share
for each share issued capital stock.
The company enjoys an unusually lib
eral smelling contract, but admits that
it Is paying the smelter for treating
its 5000 tons of concentrates each
month $2,500,000 year. The lowest
level in it's Black Rock mine is the
1000. Here it is opening an ore body
at so feet wide which averages 10
per cent zinc, according to the reports
of officials. The company has more
than $4,O0O,000 cash on hand and 3d.

Over 2ao Merchant Ships Now Build
ing-Tonnage Doubled Within Last
Year-Present Work Will Last
Until End of 1917.

Washington. =. Reports to the bu,
reau of navigation made public this
week show that American shipyards,
crowded with work as never before in
their history, are refusing all con-
tracts calling for new types of vessels
and combining construction to those
types for which construction plans al
ready have been drawn.
With $50 merchant vessels, total
tonnage of about 100000 tons, build
ing or about to be started, the United
States now is being outstripped in con-
struction only by Great Britain. Nav
igation bureau experts see in the boom
a prospect that the country may re-
cover the position it held before the
civil war, when it was the foremost
nation in shipbuilding.
The amount of tonnage under con-
struction in American yards has
doubled within the last year. 1t has
increased nearly SO per cent since the
first of December, and yards are so
filled with orders that many have
work that will keep them steadily en-
ployed until we'll into 1917. Thirty
nine ships have been completed since
last July.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 21.-The
forces Of Colonel Cano were engaged
in battle at 4:30 o'clock Monday aft
ernoon with bandits led by Villa in
Namiquipa, according to dispatch re-
ceived Monday afternoon by General
Gavira, Carranza commandant at
Juarez. The result of the fighting was
not decided at the time of the receipt
of the dispatch. Namiquipa is in the
district of Guerrero, state of Chihau-
hua.
Colonel Cano is in command of a
force of 900 cavalry, which came in
contact two days ago at Ell Vale with
Villistas, who on this occasion fled
without giving battle.

without giving battle.
Carranza Troops Quit Pursit.
The Carranza forces have failed to
hold their end of the net that was
closing about Pancho Villa, and the
bandit chief has escaped to his noun
tain haunts about Guerrero, according
to reliable information received here
on Monday.
The escape of the bandit is, however,
far from being the most serious item
of news which reached the border Mon
day. A feature of the gravest impor-
tanc was injected into the situation by
substantial confirmation of the numer-
GUS reports received for the last week
that the Mexican government troops
were not only failing to cooperate with
the American troops, but in certain
Instances at least were actually with
drawing from the field of operations.
The Associated Press learned on I'M
questionable authority that the troops
of the de facto government. which had
been stationed at Casas Grandes, have
been withdrawn and are now in and
about Juarez.
Refused to Fight Villa.
From the same source, it was
learned at at least one detachment of
Carranza troops had refused to fight
Villa and had withdrawn on the band
it's approach, leaving him free to pass
into his favorite mountain Businesses
in the great continental divide south
of Namiquipa. This detachment with
drew on receipt of message that he
was warning not on Mexicans, but the
enemies of Mexicans.
Villa, cut off from the north by the
forward sweep of the American col
umns, from the west by the Sierra Ma
DIRE barring the approaches to the state
OF Sonora, was supposed to be equally
barred from east and south by powerful
Carranza forces. These hopes have
been completely dashed by Mondays
developments.
Bandit Is Moving Freely
More than this, it now seems certain
that Villa is moving freely in at least
large section Of the country supposed
to be held by the troops of the first
chief. In the last few days he has been
variously reported by General Gavira,
the Carranza commander at Juarez, at
points along line reaching north and
south from Galena to Namiquipa, dis
lance of about rs miles. BY the same
accounts he has not been moving
steadily south, but rowing mort hand
east. The mountainous, canyon-split,
roadless country in which he is oper-
ating adds many miles to the country
he has covered as compared with it's
distance on the map.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex-
planned. 1t is impossible even to make
a fair estimate of the number of men
under General Gavira at Juarez. The
most conservative estimate places it at
5000, and calculations range from that
point upward to 5000.

ulations are being considered.

are investigating plan by which it's
promoters claim structural steel may
be used on the vessel construction. If
it proves successful it is declared con-
struction not only will be cheapened,
but an immense advantage will be
given to American yards because
structural steel is procured in such
large quantities In the United States
One prominent fact the navigation

that much larger vessels are under
construction than in previous years.
