Tins week Mr. .1. A. Coryell linn been
busily engaged surveying the Grand
Forks townsite into lots.
Within thirty days "a sawmill is to
be established at Greenwood and cutting lumber. The mill is to be brought
in from ilosslaud.
Mr. II. P. Palmerston returned fnnn
Spokane on Friday Inst, paying a fly
ing visit to Midivaylulookaftei'sinneuf
his mining interests.
Mr. Geo. Edwards, the owner of the
ferry at the first crossing of Kettle
river, is liuililing a tine structure which
will Ihi used as a hotel next summer.
The survey of Carson is now completed and the maps are lieing prepared, and as sunn as finished and
registered, lots will be put upnu the
market,
A large addition has been built to
Mr. Wiseman's hotel at. Grand Forks,
whicli was badly needed.asneverbi'fure
has so ninny travelers appeared at
Ginnd Furks as has been seen there
recently.
A large influx ut mining men uf all
grades are making their way up the
North Fork of Kellle river and into
the Boundary Creek camps, and ipiite
a number aiii remaining nr investing
in properties before leaving.
Truly we are becoming civilized, for
actually the commercial fraternity are
commencing lo pay attention to this
section, and Mr, J. McKay Sinilh, who
passed through here Inst, week, scented
very well pleased with his Introduction tu this section fnnn a liusiness
|Kiint nf view,
On Tuesday Instil Illllt) bv name of
Harry Wilcox was brought befure W.
II. Nun-is, J, P., charged willi lhe
Ihefl nf a saddle frnm nne Marlin, an
Indian, ut Boundary Falls, on the
nighl nf October 20. Tlie charge having been prefrred against Wilcox, he
was remanded until lbe following day,
wlien he was brought before W. H.
Nurds, J". P., and James Keir, .1. P.
The evidence fnr llle prosecution and
defense having been thoroughly gnne
intu, lbe accused wus dismissed, During tlie course nf proceeding in which
the evidence fur the prosecution was
being heard, it was elicited that nn the
same evening another man by name of
.Inlin Lucy had dealings also with the
Indian Martin, ns a result uf which
Lucy was served with a suiniiinns before leaving court, charging him witli
having un the evening in question presented a revolver at Martin with intent.
tu alarm him. A preliminary hearing
was given tile case and the evidence
fur the. prosecution taken by the abuve
justices, who.remanded the case until
the 20th insl.,bail lieing allowed the accused on his own recognizance and
that of Mr. G. A. Itenilell, in the sum
nf $100 each.

His slated ill the Spokesman-Review I hat theGulden Crown property in
Wellington camp lias Uiui purchased
by repicsenlatives of Marcus Daly fnr
$115,000. This, however, needs confirm atlnn.
Messrs, Mangott and McEclieran have
still a force of men pegging away
at the development of Ihe east vein of
the Morning Star claim at Fairview.
The shaft having bum dropped down
over a hundred feel, drifting was re-
snrled tn, which nils been carried In
quite an extent, with the result lhat
the vein is showingupgiiudaiidstrung,
lieing about eight feel wide and the
ore of splendid character.
Although the prnspecl ing season is
virtually ""''' '"l' ''•'" >'™''' '•"'" '*w
straggling records are being made.
Large as bus been llie number nf
claims recorded iIiih summer, there is
little doubt llnil next year's wurk by
lhe prospectors will be jusl iih fruitful,
as there Isa very large srope of territory tu the ll<M111. wesl and ensl uf uur

A rich new sli-Ue has lieen made uu

a result, of the recent development
work lhat Is helng carriedon hy Messrs.

of I be ure Is being made, and in the
tneitntliile llie proprietors say it is the
finest.specimen of ore lhat has ever
been taken from Hie claim, nud Mint is
saying a great deal, us Ihe Mother
Lode i.s looked upun as among lhe best
properties in the country. There is
lo's nf unlive cupper visible iu llle
ore that is lieing taken oilt nf the vein
recently discovered.
For some time past work has been
carried on on the Joe Dandy clahn,
Fairview cninp, and as a reward uf
patient Inil, a few days ago a line
ledge of ore was struck at the bottom
nf (he shaft. This vein of nre was for-
nierly, although very rich, very narrow; now, however, il his suddenly
widened Out to about two feet, and
considering that free gnld isiieijiienlly
met wilh in Ihe quarlz, some idea uf
the value of Ihe find may he formed,
The claim lies to the sunt beast of the
cainp proper, and is the one upon
which a lot of work was done in tlie
earlier days of Fairview's existence,
and from whicli the ure was taken that
was first milled iu thecamp. Theqiiartz

TELLURIUM.
An Article on the New Metal Found In Long
Lake Camp.
To the Kdllor of Till! AniMNCB:
Sin.—In regard to the white mineral
found in Long Luke camp, which my
brother determined is a Uilliiride uf
lead shortly befure his accident, I have
made n chemical analysis uf snme uf
the mineral tnken from ihe Lakevlew
claim,  ll contains
Lend 52.2 per cent
Silver   t.2 por eont
Tellurium  III.Ill per eenl
Hold a trace
Crude tellurium is quoted at $2.75 an
mince, and the chemically pure fused
metal at $10.55 per nz. The market is
very limited, as tlie metal finds no application in tlie arts, and is supplied
chiefly from that obtained in the electrolytic refining of copper matte, which
contains on an average 12 ounces uf
tellurium for each tun nf cupper.
Bsulder county, Colorado, is remarkable fui the variety of its tellurides,
the inelal being found in combination
with gold, silver, lead, mercury, bismuth, nickel and iron. Several of
these compounds are uf such varying
composition tliat no definite formulae
can be assigned thein. Although
rather frequently met with in the
Western Slates, tin definite tellurium
mineral has, I believe, been found to
be iu Canada,
Telluride ores are very difflcull tn
treat, since  lhey  dn  nut  yield their
gnld either tn mercury, cyanide or
chlorines lhey concentrate badly,  a
great prupnrliiin being lust as slimes.
On nccutint nf their low melting point.
It Is very difficult In drive off the lei*
I iiiiii in by roasting, and What dues go
off carries away considerable   gnld.
They are usually smelted with either
lead or copper ores.

VEItNON  NOTES.
The vice regal party's sojourn among
the Vernoiiiles lias taught, them one
gnnd thing, and that is Lu give expression lu I heir feelings by guud heiirty
cheers.
The recent inclement weather hn
increased the number uf typhoid
patients, and the doctors are lining a
thriving business, and between en
gineering reports and quibbles iu Hit
council, Vernon is fust lining her repu
latloii as a health resort.
There is every reason In believe I hut
(he near future will see Vernon established ns a customs port of entry and
if such is (lie case it wil] be a great
convenience to the miners of lhe
nelghlioiltoud who wish tn impurt machinery, as also to those iu the south-
ern mining camps. The nearest puint
at present is at Ilevelstoke.
It is quite evident, that things are on
the move here, and that, we are destined tu see better times. The government has been making quite a haul
recently frum license and recording
fees, and among the applicants are F,
S, Barnard, M. P., Hun. F. G. Vernon,
and other Victoria parties. This lends
eclat to our mining proceedings,
The Swan Lake Mining company recently received nn offer from an English syndicate upon very fair terms,
which it. is expected they will accept.
The syndicate have offered to work the
company's mines for a term of one
