Thi' Zulu M. Company, owning the
Zulu M. mid other claims in Sheridan
cninp, will silently commence shipping
ore tothe Granhy smelter. On the
Zalsi Ml considerable development
work hits been done with good results,
und a new tunnel has heen started tn
crosscut the hill 1300 feet und tip the
vein nt n depth of (KM feet, Nenr iis
portal the conipany hns a compressor
plant, the only machinery yet brought
into I he camp. At this lhe new wagon
roud will for the present terminale.
Thp Zulu company owns several claims
on the vein, hut the principal development is on the Zulu M. in the workings ahove lefcrred Ln. The quartz of
the vein, unlike that of Republic camp
ishighly crystalline, Iransluceiit und
of vitreous lustre. It yields principal-
ly silver, but carries some gold ami
cupper, and occasionally u little lend.
The richer minerals In the ore are
principally pnlyliasilc, hornite and
cm air iie, and Uie total values have, run
as liiiii us $3,(100 per ton. Some rich
mv, running from $3!K) to JfiOO per Inn,
has been shipped tn lhe smelters, and
a few hundred tons of second cluss and
lower grade ore remain on Ihe shaft
nnl upper tunnel dumps, which will
iio'v he sent to the smellers, as lhe
new i*ilad ia in good trim for hauling
over it.
The Zala Consolidated is idle at pres-
ent, hut preparal ions are in hand for
work to lie resumed.
The Pasco group looks well, so far as
th° woik on it cun show. It belongs
In Hubert May and Ii. M, Genin, and
includes the Pasco and C. K Nye
laiins, which cover 3,000 feet of the
Zala M. vein, northward. To the
casual observer, on the run of these
claims, there would appear to be four
leads within a strip of ground from 75
in 100 feet, wide, each striking in a different direction and neither having
mure than one wull in sight, hut Ihey
aie probably connected and belong to
one vein. On east lead No. 1 a 12-foot
shaft shows quartz from two to four
feel wide and $8 to 914 in value. No.
2 east lead is exposed in two holes,
each six feet in depth, with values running from $90 to $114 per ton, and
specimens rich in sulphide assayed as
high as $475 per ton. The values run
ubnul $1 In gold to every $10 iu silver.
The westerly lead in the exploration
tunnel, appearing ihe strongest, is 30
inches wide, and lhe ore assays from
$15 to $73, wilh uu average value of
abuut $25 per Ion. The tunnel leaves
the easterly stratum stripped, where
it is aliout 26 inches wide and appears
of similar charucier and value,
Northward from these workings No.
2 east ami west leads are exposed in
three holes, Ihe deepest of which is
down 12 feet and timbered for deeper
sinking.
The Discovery group, embracing the
Discovery ami Monlesano clainu, is a
propeity of excellent Ineilt. They aie
situated side by side, the former ut its
north end line adjoining the Zala Al.
Within a few feel of the junction of
lhe two properties a shaft bus been
sunk over 00 teet on the vein, und the
latter has been opened In several places
southward, pioving its continuity and
/alue. Alongside of the shaft is a pile j
of several tons of ore of good shipping
value, much of which shows rich silver sulphide and other minerals.
Wilh big croppings nnd line ore, a
shaft on the Horse Shoe vein 30 feet
deep iniikes a very good showing, but
a tunnel in 200 feet, with a drift 10 feet
on the vein hns heightened the value
nf I be property by the production of
ore that runs lis high ns $20(1 per ton.
The Miilinoniah group, comprising
the Klatsup, Multnomah and "03"
claims, has a very wide vein, with a
shaft 12 feet deep going down on lhe
loot-wall four feet wide and all in
quartz, Irom which an ordinary sample
ran $13 per ton. A lunnel has been
driven 25 feet nnd may lie driven on
4.7HI feet and gain a depth of 800 feet,.
The Phil Sheridan group, consists of
the I'liil Sheridan and SulnmAnca
claims, located side by side, and the
feet of a rich mineral vein, wliieh crops
above Ihe surface debris nt interval
points for a di-lnnce nf aliiuil 500 feel.
Tom Kinney and Pete McCnrmiek
located the Phil Sheridan August 0,
181*7, and the Kismat Frnrtiim was
located laler on, A shaft is down 75
feet on the vein, exposing from three
to live feel iu width of rich quartz, of
which eight and one half tons shipped
to the Granhy smeller al (irand Forks
curried $75 iu silver and $11 in gold,
with enough of copper to run lhe total
value up to $101,40 per Ion. Hand
samples ran as high as $150 per lou.
Soma rich ore was found aliout 75 feet
ninth of the shaft, and al 2U0feet north
east aud at 148 feet lower elevation
than the collar of Ihe shaft is an exposure nf quartz that has an average
a'sRuy value of 10per toll, The Kismat
Fraction co vers the portal ofa tunnel
further down the hill, which had heen
driven 150 feetj and apparently runs
under Ihe vein in place of crosscuttiug
it, as was intended.

Smelter to Resume.
The coke situation has so Improved
during the past week that il is now
expected a resumption of smelting
operations at Greenwood will only lie
a matter of a few days. The B. C.
Copper Co. has already leceived aboilt
1,000 tons of coke and has advices of
500 tons more on the way. The Crow's
Nest Pass Coal Co., hns been shipping
latterly an average of six cars per day
lo thc Greenwood smeller, which is a
car a day more I han the smelter requires to keep its l wo furnaces going,
consequently if this rate of shipment
continues it will he practicable to accumulate a reserve stock in case of
uny temporary interruption in lbe
supply, Under lhe altered conditions
it iscoiiaideied that il will be safe to
"blow in" next week, probably on
Wednesday 27lh. inst,, wil hunt risk of
having to again stop work for luck of
fuel, Preparations are accordingly
being made tu start on that date, A
few men uro to be put on at the company's Mother Lode mine and the
working force I lieu-will la1 gradually
increased until Ihe full number of .70
or 80 shall have been made loom fur,
which will probably Iki liy a week
hence. Thereafter the mine will send
down to the smeller liel'tteen 700 and
800 tons of oie per diem.

We have received from the Weekly

their plan of monthly distribution of
pictures. The picture, which is 10 by

Nearly two weeks have passed since
Col. Prior telegraphed the Chief Commissioner of I.ands'and Works that he
was requested lo complele the wagon
road up the West. Foik, but as yet
nothing has been done in the matter.
Is it that Ihe telegraph service Is

British Columbia Finances.
The Budget speech of Hon. J. D,
Prentice, the finance minister of British Columbia, has lieen issued in pamphlet form. Itis not exactly a boom
document for the province. Fairly
well ns the Pacific coast has lieen progressing, it has been surpass' d hy ils
administrative and other expenses.
The demands upon the government
and legislature for the outlay of public money are large, varied and persist.-
ently pressed; and there seems to be
no particular inclination to resist them
According to Mr, Prentice, the net
debt on June 311th, 1001, was $1141)7,757,
or $38.38 per head uf the province's
population. The same rate in Quebec
would make the provincial debt some
aixty millions of dollar*, j instead of
nlaiut a third of (bat sum, as it is.
The annual charge for the current yenr
is put at $191,141), ur 22 1 2 p-r cent.
of the total revenue, The revenue regularly falls ,l*kiw tne expendilure'.
The overdraft on June 30th last was
expected to 'tie $I,7(H,000. Por tbe
current year the income is placed al
$t.m, 888, and lbe expenditure nt $2,
408127. The prospective deficit is
$283,556.
One of the governnient proposals of
the session was to make another loan
of $3,000,000. Another authorized
larger-obligation by way of railway
Mid. NohadJ seems to have seriously
considered where or what courses that
produced such conditions were leading
to. British Columbia has large re-
aoai-pes, nut all of which, however are
available for taxation purposes. Mining Ispassingthrough a period in which

than of the tax collector's exactions.
There is an lucrihie tux, a really tax

On the face of the finance minister's
statements It would seem that the legislature bas gone beyond reasonable
lengths, and hot even a successful raid
by the province on the Dominion
treasury will put it ou a safe footing—

Appointed Professor at Queen'.-.
It baa lieen ascertained lhat li. W.
Brock, in charge of the Dominion Geo
logical Survey party now engaged in
obi aining data' of the geological feu
lures of the Boundary dislrict, .vill
HII the chair uf Professor of Geology
nl Queen's University, Ontario, with
which is affiliated lhe Kingston School
of Mines, during the ensuing winter
term, in succession for the time lieing
to Professor Miller who has la-en ap
pointed Provincial Geologist for Ontario. Mr. Brock is not severing his
official connection with the Canadian
tieotosical Survey but, bas applied for
leave of absence for the winter, to admit of his undertaking the professional
duties at Queen's as1 above mentioned.
Economic geology wU|'b* the principal
subject dealt with in Dils department
of Queen's during the winter term.
Mr. Brock ts favorably known through-
nut the Boundary, in which he has
done a large amount of woik during
the seasons 1IHH-1IKI2, as an energetic
and eiutbusisstic worker in the field of
gralogy, and as having done tho dis
trict valuable service hy contributing
at the last annual meeting of thc Canadian Mining Institute un interesting
review of the "Ore Peposits of the
Boundary Dislrict" in which was em-
Is id led the results of his personal examination and olwervntions during his
Inst season's close study of local conditions.
Advantage*  of the New Route.
The saving of lime and money in
taking the new route to Spokane from
southern and western Boundary oie s
in preference to that via the Columbia
k Western railway from Midway In
Rossland and thence to Spokane is
already resulting in passengers taking
the stage from Midway lo Curlew,
where they catch Ihe through train
from Republic via Marcus tn Spokane,
Passengers ran now leave Greenwood,
Midway and neighboring places in thn
morning and reach Spokane thc same
evening, and vice versa. By the
Canadian I'acilic road a night's stop.
over in Rossland or Nelsnn is necessary, with the attendant delay and
extra expense. Another convenience
the new route affords is that The
Spokesman-Review can now lie re
ceived at the largei Houndury towns
on the night of lhe day on which it is
published, Sundays excepted. The
advantages of the new route will likely
secure for il. nearly all the passenger
travel to points south of the Bound
ary line from Midway west to the
Okanagan.

A serious lire occurred at Kelowna
last Thursday night, whereby Ihe
Hue saw mill owned liy D. Lliiyil-.loni's
was burnt to Ihe ground. The (Ire
wai discovered by Ihe night watch-
man aliout one o'clock, just afler he
had relumed from bis midnight meal,
and hb evei y thing was as dry as tinder,
owing to the long drought, the Haines
spread  with greal   rapidity,   Fortunately  what   wind  there  was  blew
away from the I nwn, so I hat the efforts
1 if the citizens, who worked with great
zeal, were sufficient to preveul lbe lire
from spreading, and il was contined to
the milt building.   The lumber in the
yard was saved,   though   the  dressed
stuff nt the pinner was all destroyed
nnd also the new steamer which is nn*
[ der course of consi ruction close 111 the
mill. Thc origin of the Ure is unknown;
'hut it probably resulted from a spark
whieh had been smouldering unseen
for some time or from lire dropped by
a careless smoker,   This is the second
time thnt Ihe Kelowna mill has lieen
destroyed by (Ire,, another occurrence
of the same nature having taken place
sonic years ago.   There was no insurance and Mr. Jones has tlie sympathy
of his many friends in his Bevere loss,
which is estimated al  about  $8,01)0.—

Farm snd Harden produce is yield
inn a fairly gnod crop all round in this
netuhlmi hood this  season.   Hay  harvest is now over and vegetables are
fast maturing.   Hoi aloes on some of
the hill-side farms are not up to Ihe
average In quality, the tubers heing
rather  "waxy"  instead ol   "floury",
which latter is the usual good feature
of  potatoes grown here ahouts.   Excessive rain  early  in  Ihe season is
thought to he the cause of this loss of
quality,  The redueiion in the numher
of men at woik iu the dislrict has temporarily spoiled lhe market   for  pro

idvanlage will soon disappear.   Some

Pyritie  Smelting.
Itis a fact Ihut true pyritie smelting
has not yet lieen entirely accomplished
(by true pyritie siiiiltinir is meant Ihe
fusion of sulphide ores without the aid
of other fuel  than  the  sulphur contained in the ore itself), still inns of _H
hours at a time have I een nuiile, wil limit any outside fuel, hot slight iiregu-
lartties compel a blowout, and so partial pyritie smelting, or tbe addition
9.f some coke lo the clmrire is used at
present.   Lunge deHnes matte smelting as:: "The smelting  of  ores  composed of, containing or giving rise to
sulphides, for the purpose of cnlleiting
their values in a less quantity of urti-
flefnl sulphides," • Pyritie   smelting, i
, thin, issimply a division under malic I
Smelting  in  that   the  wastiug   and'
smelling nnirutionsare carried on ail
the same time in ihe same furnace.
The advantages to I e gained by pyritie smelting are enoruious, and if the I
true 1'ioeess emi   be developid there
will l e no flintier fuel bills,   As il  is,
they are  reduced   more   limn   half.
Theie is no  lime wasied,   nor skilled
llilnr required, in   irusliug, and the
extru expense of huilding n rousling
plmil, just for lhe pnrpnse of destroying Ihe fuel  which  nature stored in
the ore, is  a voided,    The process is
nntapplicable to high lead and  silver'
oich  as   tlie lead   will  volatilize  and
entry off values with it, nor is it  pus- ■
sible to work oxiitizedoresin Ihis wny.
Being in itself an oxidizing process it
Is of u*e only fur the fusion nf sulphides, as an oxide ore has in il nothing
nf a cftloilic nature,   This is why it]
h.is not found favor with the highly
Siiieious and oxidized ores ol Cripple
Creek and not haeaiise ihe process has
■proven a failure on ores that are suited
.for such treatment.'—Denver Reporter.
