IIS HAIN & CO. Hue 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. ■rta Qeological Map of Boundary. It. W. Brock, of the Dominion Geological Survey, wilh his party, is now engaged iu a geologicul examination of Deadwood and Oopper camps, west of Greenwood. List Wednesday Mr. Brock spenl some time at lhe Molher [.ode mine, »here the rock exposures in the hig quairy and other open-mi workings exhibit, local features of much inlerest In the geologist ami mlnetalogtst. Thc examination of lhe mining camps of the Boundary district ami I heir iuimediat" sui round ings is aboui concluded, suHicieul data having been obtained to admit nf the preparal ion of a geological map uf lbe Bouudary, which work will be uiuler taken shortly al Ottawa prelimfjiary In the publication of a small map of lhe district, leaving the larger and more comprehensive map uniform wilh lhe series already issued hy the geological survey for publication when Vltlillar iiifi»r»iiuiou shall have been Obtained relative tu the country westwards tu lhe Okanagan. The western boundary of the area to be included in ilie smaller map will run from tIte International boundary line near Midway northwards to a short distance above Copper and West Copper camps. Mr. Brock will spend the greater pari of the fall in ihe mineralized zone drained by lhe Wesl Fork of Kettle river. , » 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.

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.

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. , Why you should hv "'Fair Play" Chewing Tobacco.

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.— Vernon News, p_ M. KERBY, k. 9. Can. Soc.

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. ► *. ■ Hat Faith in theStemwInder.
