The Spanish island of Fernando Pc,
the destined receptacle of the German
fugitives from the Cameroons, was,
until African possessions looked up i,
quite recent times, one Of those I'M
considered trifles about which nobody
worried much. Discovered by the
Portuguese navigator whose name il

Spaniards in 1778, but left derelict
in 1882. There was a British settle
ment in the island from 1927 to 1884,
utilized chiefly for observation upon
the slave traffic, and Baptist mission

Driving Films for the Movies.

The drying of Photographic films by
the ordinary method is slow process
and is the cause of much delay in the
manufacture of the long strips re
quired for moving pictures. To reduce
the time of production one of the big
film companies has introduced an cleo
trical apparatus that greatly facili-
tates the process. The wet films are
wound spirally on large drums u feet
in diameter. which are introduced into
a casing that has a 3,000-watt air
heater set in the back. The cur
rent is turned on. the drum is stead
lily revolved by a small electric mo,
tor, with the result that the film is
now thoroughly dried in about one
fourth the time previously required,
which varies from one to ten hours,
according to the humidity OF the at
mosphere.

THE BULLION.

As announced in recent issue, ad-
ditional men have now been sent over
to the Bullion and two shifts will be
put on. Owing to water shortage due
to cold weather only one shift has been
worked during the winter. The pro-
longed suspension of operations on the
Northern Pacific delayed getting in
supplies necessary for the increased
force, otherwise the additional men
would have been sent over several
weeks ago. Supplies are delivered at
Borax by train and from there are be-
ing taken to the Bullion on tobog-
gan. This vehicle was made to order
by Lyman Wood according to speci-
fcations prepared by James H Taylor,
manager of the Bullion. The dis
tance from Borax TO the mine is about
four miles. Seven men have been
sent over and they will take in the
supplies, making the total force at the
mine II.

THE GUELPH.

w. S. Wilkinson came down from
the Guelph Tuesday having completed
contract for sinking shaft 100 feet.
The shaft is perpendicular and cut
several stringers of galena. The work
was all done by hand and hoisting the
muck by windlass became real work
before the job was completed Mr..
Wilkinson went to the Guelph over
four months ago. and this was his
first trip from the property since he
undertook the contract. He left yes
terday for Walla Walla, his home,
where he will visit with his family,
after which he contemplates a trip to
northern California in quest of a gold
mine. Rumors persist that the In
terstate- Callahan company is nego-
tiating for the Guelph. but no definite
information is obtainable on the sub
ject. The property lies north and
west of the Ambergris and is on the
same vein.

RIVERSIDE STRIKE.
High Grade GaIena From Little North
Fork Property.


A strike of Importance was recent
ly made by the Riverside Mining COM
pany on its property on the Little
North Fork about 10 miles above the
Empire or Horst Powell property and
about miles above the Handspike.
1t is also less than mile from the
Rainbow and apparently on paral-
lei ledge The strike was made in a
crosscut 500 feet in length, showing
the vein to be II feet wide with Is
inches of galena. Samples of this ore
were exhibited in Kellogg the first of
the week by DR. T. r. Mason and at
tracted much attention. The sample
is said to have been fairly representa-
tive of the ore shoot and is said to
carry so per cent lead and 70 ounces
of silver. Another vein was cut when
the crosseut was in about rs feet and
at a depth of about so feet This vein
was largely composed of oxidized
iron and quartz and justifies further
exploration. This is the second dis
covery of galena on the Little North
Fork, the first being on the Rainbow,
but promising deposits of copper have
heretofore been found, the most not
able one being the Horst-PoWell, upon
which a mill will be in operation in 60
days. The Riverside is largely owned
in Kellogg, DR.. Mason being one of
the heaviest stockholders.

CONSTITUTION TO BUILD
A MILL THIS SUMMER
FINE SHOWING OF ORE IN BOTH
TUNNEL AND SHAFT-SOON
HAVE A SAWMlLL.

The rapid transformation of the
Constitution from q prospect into a
mine is one of the most notable
achievements on Pine creek during the
past winter The possibilities of the
property were brought to the attention
of the present operators last fall, sew
eral cars of ore having been shipped
which yielded good returns, and the
prospect for further development was
most encouraging. A group of Spo-
kane men, headed by ex-senator Geo.
Turner, took hold of the property and
have since provided it with modern
equipment, and while this was being
done work was pushed as rapidly as
possible by hand An electric COM
pressor and hoist have been installed,
and work is being carried on in both
the tunnel and shaft,
Showing in Tunnel and Shaft.
For a distance of 500 feet there is
almost a continuous ore shoot and
stope has been opened for about so
feet on an ore shoot four feet wide
There is also a fine showing of ore in
the face of the tunnel, which is being
as rapidly as possible.
The shaft has been sunk 100 feet and
from the bottom Of which the vein
has been crOsscut, showing s feet of
good ore, of which 2 feet is reported
to be of shipping grade. While the
ore is being explored at this point it is
probable that the shaft will be sunk
100 feet further.
Put in a SawmII.
The Constitution has ordered a
sawmilI which will be placed in oper-
alton as soon as possible. The ground
Of the company contains a large
amount of saw timber and this will be
turned into lumber for the construc-
ton of a 150-ton mill this summer. In
the meantime the Constitution has
been rushing ore shipments to the
railroad before the bottom falls out
of the wagon road.
