The following is nn extract frtnn u letter to the New fork Sun: " It in not necessary to consider in any detail the operations ul tbe Hundt (Suuth Africa) mines; enough to suy that some IUXUHIO tuns of ore are being treated monthly. The ore is first crushed in stamp butteries, where, uu an average, 85 per cent of the gold contents are secured by amalgamation, and uf ihe '13 per cent remaining in tlie tailings, three- quarters is recovered by the t-yuiiitle treatment, bringing up the total recoid to uliout 01) per cent, The cost of stumping may be reckoned, wear and tear Included, at ti dollar per Ion, and tbo cost of the cyanide treatment at two dollars, or a total cost, lifter the mining is paid for, of three pennyweights of gold, to secure on the average extraction of this rump about eight pennyweights, If, however, it were possible Ui secure by a single mechanical operation, and at a cost not exceeding thut of stamps, us high a percentage of gold as is secured liy lioth stamps and cyanide, it is evident, that, the cost of producing gold would be reduced hy more than one-half, nnd large bodies of low grade ores at present unworkable could he profitably treated. During the pasl few days I have seen a new mill, running upon a hard and very refractory gold quartz in Wales—a mill which is likely to find much favor with miners in future. The mill is the Invention of Mr, Crawford, a Canadian. Its history is'the history of nine new inventions out of ten, pitched upon Ihe world wilh sellout structural deficiencies, senile three years ago. It was first sent to .South Africa, and the wear and tear being enormous, wns withdrawn, Later, the mill found its way into n mining camp at Cave Springs, Utah, for no other reason than because it requires little water. Iu this cuni|i it. wns remodelled and completed, and the en-' glneer ill charge of it in Ulali, alia Henry Bell, bus now erected one ut Cefn Coch, five miles from Dolgelly, on a property belonging to Prof. Orookes, By the courtesy of Prof. Orookes, I have been permltfd to spend u day at the inine und in the mill house, In the first place I wus confronted with these returns, which will strike experts us remarkable, A single mill weighing a little over four tons bus been riming sixty days. As it crushes less than twice its own weight in quartz in 'it hours, the mill is about equivalent to u Ihi-ee-stiiuip mill. Did ever such u stump mill, running on ore that assays only some ten pennyweights, pay the wages of 110 men on deudwork, on sinking shafts and driving tunnels, and pay also till the expenses incidental lo milling and milling, with some small surplus uf profit;' And yet this is what, this little mill at Cefn Coch is doing. Up to last week it hud run sixty duys, and had secured nlioul 21X1 ounces of gold. In other winds, it is extracting more than $50 per day." Ih a pamphlet, written by eminent authorities we Und, under lbe head of concentrating ores, l he following i "The gold in such ores is generally partly free and partly combined with sulphurels. In speaking of the gold us combined With the sulphurels, lbe miner's sense of the term, rather than the Chemist's, is Intended. It Is held by many authorities thut the gnld Is seldom, or never, found actually in chemical combinations, except in some antimony and tellurium compounds, but in au exceedingly line state of division, meohanlcallyintermixed wiih the base inelal sulphides. But to mill men this view of the cuse is without Importance, because uu a mailer of fact, the mechanical division is so perfect and the difficulty of grinding und avoiding the influence of base metals so great commercially that roasting is necessary to free tlie gold. In this' connection it may be worth while lo remark thut tlie advocates of new processes of gold extraction from tills class of ure, based ou assumed metallic condition of the melal Itself, often full to appreciate tho fact of the prellmln-J ury, Impalpable grinding being itself equivalent to a condemnation of the | process, by necessitating the use of grinding machinery, which greatly Increases the cosl over ordinary processes," Sitiee this wus written, in] 181X1, Iho Crawford mill has demon-1 strated that it will I real ores to 1201 mesh, ul from $1 to $1.50 per ton, and that Includes the whole milling of the nre. lu ibis connection I would cull your attention to tbe last two paragraphs of the circular, giving au account of the llllll in the Cave Spring camp, Utuh i " One word about concentration, It is not such a simple thing as some people seem to imagine: in fuel. I here ure so many conditions that influence the general arrangements of a plant, nnd the extent to which each of the operations, constituting concentration, may he economi cally carried, that a very careful cou- siderat Ion of all the surrounding conditions, as well us a thorough study of the peculiarities of the ore, ure ueces- surv before the general scheme to be followed can be determined. Iu raro occasions only can tin* treatment of ores be decided upon without extensive preliminary experiments." "Tbe essential merits of nny process or machine for extracting the greatest amount of precious metals from ores should be, 1st, simplicity; 2nd, show* ing the least loss in tailings i 8rd, durability; lib, economy, All these are combined in the Crawford mill and in one machine i und nny machine which will increase lbe saving of gold to the extent of paying good interest on the invest metit should be used, Assorting by specific gravity is one of the principal factors in this mill, It may be Instructive to note the gold pun, which is tbe hest teacher, The gold pun separates the gold from Ihegiingue by specific gravity alone, and as Ihis pan Is used to determine the loss in the tunings, from an amalgamating process, it, shows the principle of gravity to he superior to nny known process." The following ure answers to questions put by me to u gentleman running a Crawford mill iu California; "Have been running the mill almost constantly; 1 am very well pleased with it; in ii word, I regard it as the best gold saving apparatus yet constructed ; 1 have not as yet crushed ore having more than 23 per cent of pyrites; I have not yet made any critical examination of tailings, for I gel. so little trace of gold In llieni: my mill inan is very free in his expression that everything is saved; I do not think our loss will go beyond 5 per cent, on nny of the ore wo have crushed | Hie mill will of necessity not lose any quicksilver; at first we lost some by cnrelessnt'ss, but latterly we did not lose nny; we use from 75 lbs, to 100 lbs. quicksilver, owing In richness of ore; the mill will run through easily 10 tons if crushed one-half inch cubes or less, but to get 12toiislhioiigli theoro must lie crushed quarter inch cubes or less; 1 mean in 21 hours; 1 have employed the mill uu ores for neighbors, several of whom have brought second and third lots fm- treatment, and there are a lol of Idle stamps iii my neighborhood ; this will answer your question as to how mining men of experience like the mill." The following gives some idea of n five mill plant, which I got from thu general superintendent of the mine: "It is driven (the plant of five mills) by steam power. We use a Gules No. 2 ore breaker arranged for crushing fine, say to iine-lmlf or three-quarters inches, an elevnl -. uf link licit for carrying tlie crushed me from crushing floor In ore bins; Ihu feeders conveniently arranged ill froul if ore bins for supplying ore to Ihu mills, l'ho bolts ure eight inch and run in twenty-four inch pulleys ou line shaft; also, the feeder bells arc run from same shaft. The mills ate in line, with uu over, head trolley with tackle for lifting out the purls in cleaning up, Aaa, so thut we have everything arranged fill' hiiudiness and saving tune. The ore is a very hard slllclous talc schist cou- talnlng veins of hard quartz; Hie latter is generally barren, and but. a small part is milled, ll. is a free-milling class, contiiiningiilo I per cent pyrites, average assays $11.25 per ton, Loss of mercury less than 2 oz, The mills treated 101*5 tons euch for 21 hours, using -t gallons of water each per minute, average charge of mercury 80 lbs, The water here given equals 570 gallons per ton of ore crushed," The expense of having an expert to set up und run the mill for a mouth would be Ilis fare lo und from the mine, and $5 per day when at work, hut let It he clearly understood thai ir would be useless to have the man until you hud all tho machinery on the ground and ready lo start in nl once Three hundred dollars should cover this. (To lie continued.) 4.4 —- - Timbers for Hie bridge al Ingrain's are being hewn oul on Mr, Host's ranch, The road along the river bluff on Vnssenii lake is sliil in n very rough condition, and the portion around the north bluff Is below high water murk. As the milking of lbe roud around these blufl's cost such an enormous pile of money ll would certainly in- worth while lo iiinke llie job complete, ns nt present, ii Is impossible to team heavy freight over ihis portion nf tho new through route to Kellle river.

We nre glad to be iihle to state that in future such a course will be adopted, as either the Indiscriminate granting or refusing of pre-ouiption records iu this section would be liable to create a hardship on one or other class of the community. That a number of pre-emptions could lie still taken up In the district, which would never iu all probability inter- Cere with mining operations is a certainty ; nlsn thntii large number might he located over mineral ground already held as such, The lai ter class of preemptions can only he taken up ns possible townsite and such like speculations, and in some Instances might hamper mining operations very considerably, The plan of treating each application for ii pre-eni ptionrecord in Ihis section on its own merits alone iippears, therefore, to be the best solution of the problem, and the Government are acting wisely in adopting It, A TIMELY YVAKNINO.

For the location and operation of smelting works in or near the town of Nelson, some of Ihe citizens of that place offer a bonus of $100,000 iu money aud laud, testifying iu this iininistnke* able manner their faith in their city ur its neighborhood as a point suitable •for the carrying on of such an enterprise, and their willingness to contribute in no niggardly manner toward the benefit that would ultimately Accrue to themselves: and the country generally, should such works be erected. The Cariboo Mining Company, of Camp McKinney, have declared a dividend of $8,000, to be paid on February 18. This is the lirst dividend on the shares of this company, and considering the great amount of expense they have been put to in the shape of improvements around the mine since it started, some ten months ago, and also considering the fact that after paying this dividend they have a large surplus of funds on band, all will agree that it speaks volumes for the management, and gives to other mining men a for- taste of what may he done in some of our camps by energy well directed. Did you "Eber C. Smith," gentle reader? If not we have pleasure in introducing to your notice the former editor of tlie Stevens County Standard <iud the present proprietor of British Columbia's most recent publication, the Itossluiul Record. This gentleman has performed the feat of discontinuing an iiiiprolilable publication and establishing, hy all appearances, a profitable une, in a remarkably short spare of lime, which ungues well for his business foresight and ability, and if future issues of tlie Russia nd llccord are as bright and newsy as No. 1 Vol. 1, then it will be au exchange always made welcome by I he Advance proprietors, who extend tn B. C.'s new journalist the fraternal hand of friendship, and at, the same time niter best wishes for future prosperity. An industry which ought to be es. lulilislied iii Vernon and would have every chance of being a financial success, is a creamery, An immense quantity of butter still comes into the Okanagan country from the outside, and a district which should be export, ing butter to the coast and the mining markets of the province still has to import it. Several ranchers lu the Upper Okanagan have of late years gone Into dairying more or less as a business, but what, they produce suppliesonly a very small portion of the demand, and' in many instances local storekeepers refuse Ui take local butter, as the supply will not satisfy a steady trade and varies a great deal in quality. What is needed is combination. In these hard times the people of a good farming country can scarcely afford to send pioney out, of the district for the purchase of a product which can he produced by themselves. That creameries will eventually be established at Vernon, Kelowna and other points up north is a certainty, and the sooner that time comes the better. Mora fall ploughing was done lost year in the Upper Okanagan and Spal- liinicliei'ii districl* than in any previous year, and tho wheat crop of 1805 promises to lie a very large ope, If the j opens up. season Is favorable.

It was next season, and expressed the same opinion ns everybody else, that considering the small amount expended in making it, it is a first-class piece of work. Mr. Norris returned north on Sunday via McKinney and Peiiliclon. Such attention to its needs an Kettle river is now receiving at his hands leaves absolutely no room for ciiin- plaint. How on earth the C, P. R, are going lo make their steamer ou Okanagnn lake a paying institution unless they get a larger share of the passenger and freight liusiness of the country to the east of Camp McKinney passeth the understanding of anyone acquainted with the country south of Okanagan lake. That sufficient business to ac. complish this end can originate in the lower Okanagan alone is scarcely likely, as that district may be safely descrilied as a grazing country which cannotsupporta large population for some time to come—a time which, judging from present appearances, will be slow in coming. Without extensive irrigation systems and subdivision of the present large holdings, very little increase of population in that section can lie looked for, except in the mining camps. As fur as tlie ores of the latter are concerned, they are free milling quartz propositions in almost every instance, so that shipments of anything else than concentrates from the mills are certain tn be treated on the spot, either l,y cyanide or some similar process, Apart from Ihis fact a great deal of the supplies of the camps (one might say fully half) conies from across the line, though I his would not be the case if more reasonable rates were given on the lake steamer. What Ibe O. P. R. should do is In rustle for the trade of Ihe Kellle river mining district, which now goes across the line, and try to secure at least a fair proportion of its freighl, This end will, however, not be accomplished by men' who are totally Ignorant shout the Boundary camps and everything connected with them, and if the 0.

Ooi'lattt deserves it if he bus it, fop he has done some hard rustling. Harry Morgan was down from the head of Boundary creek, He reported a good catch of marten. He also caught one fisher. He brought a sample from Thomet's Elk Horn claim down with him, IfT'homet has much of the same stuff he should keep un working It, Bnrtholcniew and Myers have encountered water in their shaft on the Master Mason. It i.s Inconvenient and has interfered materially with the progress they have been making.

Frank Gome and Clement Vacher are drifting on the .lack of Spades close to the Lexington line, They are said to have struck the Lexington lead and to be taking out good nre. The new Skylark vein has been traced to within a few feet of the south extension—the Meadow Lark, owned by J. Winters and H. C. Walters. Development will he commenced on tlie Meudow Lark as soon as spring liistjseason—owing to the shortage iu , the crop—a direct loss to the district of $46,000 cash. This mill is now closed down until next September and has had to refuse a large number of orders for flour from the coast. Tlie mill at Vernon is still running, hut has no great supply of grain ou hand. Not only an increased acreage, hut an exceptionally heavy crop will be necessary this year if the two mil|s are to be kept busy grinding local wheat, and if wheal has lobe brought in next (all from the Northwest jt will be a poor advertisement for the Okanagan country. JJelthet of these mills, nor the two small waterpower mills iu the Mission valley can ship Hour further snulb than Penticton—practically the whole ot the country south of Okanagan lake being now supplied with Ihe American product, The lower country war ket was, however, counted on when located in 'II'I, and has a three-foot vein, two feet of which is solid galena ore. It is principally a lead proposition- samples assaying 115 per cent lead, 32 oz silver, and a few dollars In gold. A tunnel tweiily-five feet in length has been run in on this lead. The Lead King lies behind Mr. hind's cabin on Grouse mountain, and was located by Messrs. Synionds and Wallace last October. Little development has been done on this property, hilt what work has been done has disclosed a body of leiul ore. nine feet in width—though no will's have yet been found. These claims will in all probability play an Important part in lbe reduction of Boundary ores should a local smelter ever be established, as they are the only lead properties yet found in the Boundary mineral bell, with the exception of Ricbter and MeOonnel's property on Fourth of July mountain.

Some good looking gold ore is now coming out of Suydain and Harlan's i'lniiii, the Butte, which is a south extension of the Great Hopes. The lead, Wlljr.ll |s now being ppeilfaj up, shows Ihjpefeet of ore between walls—iron oxide on top, which changes inlo sulphide with depth.
