Surveying for the 5melter.
('. A. Stoess, who was stationed
here by Manage.' Aldridge, of the Trail
smelte r 11 the iminelise miiounf
of preliminary work, preparatory to
starting active work on the Cascade
smelter, has been employed at it for
the last, four weeks. His investigations have been universally satisfactory
in cry particular, and the local conditions by actual export examination
have been found to suit the necessities
ol'sii.ii ji great undertaking to a degree.
Mr. Stoess found by personal examination that the clay to ba bad here
is admirably adapted tu the mamifac*
ttire of 2,000,000 brick that will be re
quired in tlie construction of the many
buildings needed for smelter purposes.
Mr. Stoess has found by careful hives*
tigationsliineroek enn he had in ample
qu.iutitics within two or three miles
of the smelter site.
This week jMr. Stoss lias been running lines and taking levels for the
flume which will be ...-i-dtii furnish the
water supply for the smelter. This
Hume will be a mile long', Iat lenst two
.ind one-ball' feet si.imre, and the intake will beat or nenr the dam now
being constructed above the cascades.

Oovernrnent Assay Office.
Home time since the managers of
luniks on the const pointed out the necessity of the govcrniiieot establishing
ji . j. ,-ny office in V:iiicouver, so that
miners returning from the gold holds
of the north, could gut an official cer-
tilicjite. showing tin- quality of tne
gold dust in their posM'ssiun. Such
certificate i.s absolutely necessary before the holders of gold dust can exchange it and Ketfullvalno in cum no-
iil the banks.
At present this can be done on tbe
other side of the line .at Seattle or San
Francisco, and as a result, nearly al!
the gold dust coming froni the ortb
finds it way inli, the I'nited States,
very much to the detriment of this
province, for where the guld dust is
exchanged for currency, there much of
the money is natninlly spent.
Now that the Alien Law is in force
this institution is very much more of a
necessity t ban befojfe, for it wiil never
do to oblige citizens of the Doniinion
tu pass across the line so that, they can
evpeditiously realize u|>oii tbeir holdings in the shape of the precious metal.
This was forcibly pointed out to the
government ji lew days ago hy a deputation which waited upon tbem, therefore it is only reasonable to suppose
something will soon be done iu the
matter.

Battle at Hanilla.
On Saturday the 5th inst. at about
8:46 in the evening, the long looked for
trouble came between the Americans
aud the Filipinos around Manila, and
as a result the Americans count their
loss at over 'M killed and wounded,
while il. is said thousands of the Filipinos were killed and wounded or taken
prisoners.
The immediate causa of the battle
was the advance of two Filipino soldiers on an American outpost, of the
Nebraska regiment. When the American sentry ordered tbem to half, they
refused, and he fired. Immediately a
signal gun "'as tired by the Filipinos
and an attack begun on the Nebraska
regiment, which attack soon spread
and became general between thn outposts of both forces all around the
city. Firing continued throughout the
night, with an occasional cessation pf
from half an hour to an hour at. a time.
At daybreak the Americans began a
vigorous advance all along tbe Hue,
and were soon pressing buck the insurgents ine.cry direction,maintaining
steadily theft' advanced positions and
capturing the villages of San Juan Del-
montfe, Santa Ana, San Pedro, Macati,
Santa Mesa and Loniili.
In this movaineiif the war shi| s lent
assistance as the Charleston and Oallao
shelled the insurgents positions on tlie
north side of the city while the Mon*
ndonk sin l'ed thisc on the south side,

CAMP ricKINNEY NOTES.
iKi-oin our own Goirespondoiit.)
After several days of severe frost the
weather has moderated, and as a result work is being prosecuted vigorously all over and* around the outskirts of the camp.
On the Annie L. the showing of ore
at the bottom of the shaft, which is
now do .vn some 88 feet, is good, as
much more galena than was visible in
the surface ore has made its appearance, and the gold values have as a
consequence Increased, gold generally
accompanying galena in the ores of
this camp, to a greater or less extent.
On the Waterloo the drift between
No. 1 and No. 2 shafts has been driven
up to date about 40 feet, with the ledge
still looking wel).
Under the superintendence of Thos.
Donald work will be started next week
on the Dolphin and Shannon claims,
the property of tbe Shannon Gold Mining Company, which company was
recently organized in Spokane through
the efforts of Dr. Reddy and his associates, and of which company's stock
some 160,000 shares have been sub-
soribed for by parties in this oamp.
Having sunk 40 feet below the 100-
ft. level in the big working shaft of the
M innehiiha, the manager, Major Me-
gaw, has let a contract to Jim Mathers
te sink the balance te the 200 foot level
or IK) feet, and as a result the two
power drills are just kept humming
night and day. As poon as the 200-
foot level is reached, a drift will be run
to catch the ledge.
Negotiations are on foot for the
transfer of the Sailor and other interests of the Naden, McKntire, McDonnell syndicate, to a strong Canadian
corporation, and if the deal is consummated it will mean much for the camp,
and will at the same time give enhanced value to the|Rover claim,which
lies between the ".Sailor and the Carihoo.
Mr. Hickey one of the purchasers of
the Fontenoy is in camp, and it is
pleasing to note that Mr. H. Cameron
lias received the-first instalment on
the purchase price of the Fontenoy,
which he sold for $20,000.
The new main working shaft on the
Cariboo has reached the 800-foot level,
and drifting for the ledge is now the
order of the day.
A company is being formed in Spokane tn work the O'Shea claim.
Messrs. E. James and Tom Baby are
still sinking on their I'audra claim
which lies about one-half mile north nf
the Eureka and next to the Alma. The
ore in the bottom of the shaft, looks
well and the ledge i.s gradually gaining
width. This property will lie heard
froni in the very near future.
A few buildings are in course of construction, and people are moving
around as if they have an object in
life, and with this J I close this
week's budget of news Mr. Editor,

Copper Advancing.
Not for many years has thc price of
copper touched such a high mark as at
present, and yet appearances would
indicate that the limit in price has not
as yet been reached. Those who have
been accustomed for some years te 10
and 12 cent copper, can hardly realize
that the price now stands somewhere
in the neighborhood o****16 cents.
That this price is a fictitious one,
reached by manipulation of copper
stocks, or as tlie result of ccmbines,
seems not to he the case,but rather is it
the result of so healthy a demand for
the metal, that the reserves are gradually being eaten up so to speak, leaving
the market in such a state that production cannot keep pare with the demand. Under these circumstances the
present price may not only obtain indefinitely, it may even reasonably lie
expected to reach a higher figure, and
this contention would seem o lie en-
tertained by those most competent to
judge the situation correctly.
Such being the case, how easy is it to
realize what this price for copper means
to the Boundary Creek district, wherein lies, as far as development discloses,
some of the most extensive copper deposits in the world. No wonder investors are turning their attention to
the Boundary Creek district, and the
influence of wealth is beginning to he
felt in the land.
Burnt Up.
Tlie steamer the City of Greenwood,
which steamer did duty last summer
carrying freight between Penticton
and Okanagan Falls, was burnt at her
mooring at the latter place during one
day of the past week.
Since the close of navigation men
have been living in the cabin of the
steamer, and it Is supposed the stove
they were using must have been defective, and so caused the fire,
The steamer which was never much
if a ImiiiI at the hest, was built at Okanagan landing in IW by Mr. J. W.
Bassett and was subsequently acquired
by Mr. F. B. Winnctt of Okanagan
Falls, Whether the boat was insured
or not cauiioi be slated.
