MINING NOTES

P. Burns & Co., Ltd, have taken an
option on the Big Interior mine on
Vancouver island, now known as the
Big 1. Alex Sharp, M. g., of Vancou-
yer, who is in charge of development
work, has sent in diamond drilling
outfit and is building cabins with a
view to prosecuting development dur
ing the winter.
All authorities agree that the gross
Occur d'Alene region of Idaho will be
much greater this year than in 1915,
when they were in excess of $685..
100000 for lead, silver and zinc alone.
This will result from higher prices
for the metals rather than an in.
creased production.
Control of the Banfield Copper mine
in Douglas county, Oregon, 80 miles
east of Riddle, on the main line Of
the Southern Pacific railroad, has just
been acquired by Andrew Laidlaw, in
corporated. This is one of the best
known mining properties in southern
Oregon, and by some mining men is
considered as having the largest body
of high-grade copper ore in the state
Under terms of an agreement re
corded at Wallace, Idaho, the Horst
Powell Copper Mining Co. takes over
the control and operation of it's prop
erty held under option by the En-
pire Copper Co., of which Alfred Page
and Andrew Deylin are heavy stock
holders. The mining claims have
been developed to point which per-
mits the shipping of ore, and it is
stated that continued shipping will
produce sufficient revenues to liqui-
date the outstanding indebtedness.
The enormous tonnage of the Gran
by Consolidated Co. is about to be in
creased substantially through the
opening of new mine in British Col
umbia, according to D. M. Drumhel-
Ter, Jr. This property, referred to as
the Maple Leaf, is situated on water
way of that name. 1t has been sub
jected to extensive development and
is being we'll equipped, the equipment
including a railroad and dock. The
sum invested in development and i'm
provements is estimated at 100000.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

In spite OF the fact that there are
deterrent influences to be contended
with, the general movement of mer.
chandise is we'll maintained. Two
elements have combined to cause a
stacking down in demands to some Elk.
tent. One of these is the lull in the
era of abnormal advances in price.
There are many who incline to the
belief that possible break is i'm
pending, based upon the reaction that
has recently occurred in wheat, and
naturally this has occasioned conser-
vatism in the anticipation of future
wants. The agitation that Is being
urged to influence a slump by re-
stricting purchases on the part of
consumers has in certain instances
produced falling off in trade, but is
not of appreciable import considered
in a large way. On the whole, the
price situation is an indeterminate
one. SO long as foreign demands are
maintained up to their present scale
it is doubtful if any appreciable re-
lief is to be expected, unless action
is taken to check the export move
ment. If such a recourse Is adopted
there will be a speedy readjustment
except in lines of foodstuffs which
are already apparently oversold. This
eventuality was the prime factor In
starting wheat on the down grade,
but the prospect Of quick recovery
is not remote, particularly IL manipu-
lation has played an important part
in affecting the market.
Opposed to these quieting influ-
ences is the fact that there is con-
tinued increase in the demand for
labor, that wages are being advanced
in many instances, and that the ca
pacity for absorption is increasing
correspondence with the enhance
ment in values. Advance buying in
dicates an active holiday trade, while
confidence in general improvement
and forward movement for the Pa
ciflc Northwest is generally felt. Rail-
way traffic continues to hold at the
limit, and difficulty in securing deliv-
cries holds a feature of the situation,
not alone in having orders filled, but
in getting them moved to destination.
Provisions.
Butter The butter market has
shown no further advances, but the
situatio is one of pronounced
strength Stocks of storage butter
are running close to exhaustion, and
within very short time the trade
will have to be supplied entirely
from the seasonable product, giving
indications of scarcity.
Eggs-Eggs are firm at quotations,
but receipts of fresh have been hold
ing up surprisingly well, due to the
success Of poultrymen in developing
winter production. Storage stocks are
relatively light, and there is little APP
prehension regarding their being
moved satisfactorily.
Fresh Meats-The market for hogs
and sheep continues firm and strong,
with slight advances noted in all
items.
Poultry = Market has been ruling
firm, the supply of Thanksgiving tur-
keys being fairly we'll moved at 30c
to 35c, which was about sc above last
years prices.

| Lard and Cured Meats "A slightly
f1rmer tone is noted in both hams
and bacon, while lard has eased of
1c to 19c.
| Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples - Fancy stocks have been
marked up little, with quotations

mains steady, with the market we'll

stocks being orchard run.
Potatoes-Irish spuds still hold at

So. The potato market at both New
York and Chicago showed an easier
feeling with drop of about sc at
the latter point.
Oranges-The waning of the Val
encia season and increase in the Ma
val supply has caused shaking up
in quotations this week. Fancy Val.
encias are firmer at $5@5.5O, with
the choice remaining at $3.50. Ma
walls, both choice and fancy, eased off
some, the latter quoting at $3.75@
$3.50, and the former at $3.5O@3.75.
Other Fruits-Lemons are firmer
this week, with fancy quoted at $5.75
@6 and choice $3.50 Grapefruit is
off soc at $4.50@5, while cranberries
are frmer at $ll per barrel and 1915
per box. Huckleberries are up 2hc
at 12c. Grapes, with the exception
of kegs, are out of the jobbing mar
ket.
Other Vegetables - Radishes, Cali
fornia stock, are quoted at 4O@5Oc
per dozen. Cucumbers are firmer at
$1.25@1.50 per cwt. Carrots are off
csc at SIPS, while green peppers are
up &c at 16c per pound.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-A sharp decline in wheat
has been the most notable feature In
developments during the close of No
vember.
Flour-Responsive to the decline in
wheat, patent flour is wobbly and the
market is In an uncertain position,
awaiting the trend of fluctuations,
with trade holding rather quiet
Feed-Mill feed has shown further
advances, but in other directions there
have been no radical changes in the
line of feedstuffs. Trade is steady,
but undoubtedly restricted by the
high prices.

The zone proposal for handling

How to Use ! LIE Preserver.

'"The worst trouble about a life pre-
server" said arnold sailor, "is that few
people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get 4
life preserver over his head.
1.-THE average person struggling
about in the water would try to lit
up the big life ring and put It over
his head. That only causes the man
to sink deeper and take more water
into his lungs.
1.-THE proper way to approach q life
preserver in the water Is to take hold
of the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you az
neatly as q nan ringing q cane at q
