HAIN & CO. mro Operation-* In tbe Fairview dlatrlct have been chiefly confined to thr development of the Stemwinder mine, one of the properties of the Fairview Corporation, Limited, ssyt tbe Mining Record. The concern labored for * period under financial difficulties, hut lecently the necessary capital waa provided liy the shareholders, who contented to a reconstruction acheme upon an accessible haaia. The maiu nhi.fi. it down 300 feet and drifts on the different level, to the extent nf 4,9)0 feet, have shown a large quantity nf ore Since the tint of Inst yeai the shaft has been sunk 120 feet and the third level bas been opened up for 2U0 feet wilh the happy result of 'proving the oreat that depth to lie of a higher grade than at either of tbe upper levels. Stations have been made at Uw three levels, and all is in roadmen to supply tbe mill wilb ore, as soon as the erection of lbe large rock breaker is oonipleted. It was neertsiiry in older to get Ihe foundation tor the rock breaker to lake away the dump whirh occupied the ground required and for the past few weeks the stamp mill bas lieen running on "the dump with highly satisfactory results.'ft was expected that hy ihe Hrst of the year that, all the work of construction would have been completed and it in reasonable tu suppose that the work of eii faction and development will go on indefinitely, as the quantity of ore in sight it very consideralile. In this case, being a comparatively low grade proposition, the principal question is of cheap extraction and treatment of the ore. Over 1,000 tons of dump ore have been treated at Ihe mill, which has proved thati he ore is of such a friable nature that nver the average can lie handled by the stamps. I', has alto proved that the mill it perfectly adapted for the work. The milt has 10 batteries of 211 stamps and it equipped with all the latest labor-saving devices. Tbe concentrators are handled by U concentrators {At Krue vanners and Henry Norbom vanners). The batteries are fed by 10 Challenge ore feeders, which receive the ore from the bin above, which holds SOO tons. The mill |s situated about SOO feet from Ibe mouth of the shaft and a covered track it laid from the bottom of the bin, at the mine, and runs directly Into the ■ill so lhat tbe ore can I* dumped at any portion of the bin. A large bin is situated below the rock breaker so that the work of carrying the ore is only carried on in the day time. The concentrators are driven by a 25 h. p. upright engine, and the uill is driven by a 127 h. p. Bales-Corliss engine. These engines ate of sufficient capacity to drive a mill of double the site, and it is tbe Intention to add 20 more stamps in the .pring, and all arrangements have been made so that Ihese can he added without stopping Ihe present mill, except for possibly a day, to couple the main shaft. Tbe mill is heated by the exhaust steam from the engine, so that no fire It used in the mill. The holler house It sit ual ed midway hetween the mill and the shaft house and is composed of two large tubular hollers (140 h. p.). The com- pressor (four-drill Hand) Is situated at the head of Ihe shaft and a 85 b. p. hoisting engine is also In this building, A large Blake pump is on Ihe third level find pumps tbe water from the mine to the mill, where it will be used in case of shortage of water at any time. To the north of tbe tKiiler house is situated the saw and planing mill, and all the lumber used in the erection of mill (except what was on band) was out at this mill. Tbe blacksmith shop it situated immediately to the north west of the shaft house. A Pellon wheel will be Installed al this point* which will supply Ihealr for the forget by a fan and operate the electric light gentleman Is also the secretary nf the corporation, combining two nf the most important offices in thu gift of tbe company. The corporation has a good water supply to all building*, and the comfort of the workmen has not been forgotten. The boarding bouse is very roomy and can accommodate fiO men comfortably. Tbe engineer's and mill men's hunk house is situated tothe left of Ihe boarding house, while the hunk bouse of tiie miners is nearer l be mine. The superintendent's nfilfe and assay office are situated midway and overlooking all the works and are very complete in all details, as is necessary in this important branch of the business. The intention of thi cot|ioration is to shortly install electric machinery aud operate the entire plant by a water power, wbich will economise considerably. In addition to the extraction of ore fnr the mill, the corporation uill cut). tinue the work of development, and shortly a shafl is to be sunk vertically cm the. vein from tbe 300 io 400-fooi level. When-this is accomplished a rise will he wade to the surface, com ing out immediately behind th- mill and all the ore will he hoisted and dumped directly into the mill ore bin, after passing through the crusher, which will be pleased at lhe head of the shaft. This plan is lieing followed upon the advice of the Provincial mineralogist, Mr. Hoiiertson, ami it is expected will redone the cosl of extrac- ion to a very low point. The corporation vownt several other promising properties, but no work is lieing done on them at. present, with the exception nf I he coal measures, situated 10 miles from Fairview, whicli are being worked in a small way io order to supply the local demand. The intention is to, in Ihe near future, thoroughly exploit this area as the quality of coal now heing extruded is ofa very high grade. At the time nf writing, December Sth, the ground has lieen cleared and ore bins erected at the hoist, and wit li In a few days the mill will Iw supplied with ore from tbe mine. Uy New Year results will be known as the cleanup will lake place early in Janu ary, but the prospects are eminently favorable, aud us Ihe company has now a thoroughly practical and ex perienced man in charge of operations it may confidently look forward to a long and successful career. Tbe Dominion Consolidated Com pany, limited, operutingpro|ierlies immediately above ihe Stemwinder, are getting ready lo commence active oprra'lniis, having, it is understood, completed arrangements fur large working capital, and a new era of prosperity seems to be with us. »H AN EXCI UNO TIME. em grade when a gang nf men in the employ nf the Greal Northern put in an appearance and after a war of words started to hitch their teams ,to the timbers of the trestle with tlm evident, intention of pulling it down.

MORRISON BONDED. Dispute over Right-of-way Crossing oa the Reservation makes Much Trouble. Grand Funics, Jan. 6.—A bloodless clash, which at one time threatened to assume dangerous proportions, occurred near Curlew, Wash., yesterday afternoon over a disputed crossing he* tween rival forces of the Great Nort Item and tbe Republic and Grand Forlisj railway respectively.

To see flowers in hloniii in Ihe open air during January wnuld not be considered anything out of tho ordinary on Vancouver Island or in thb southern states, but to see flow- rs iu bloom at I bis season of l he year in Ihis part of British Columbia is decidedly litre, i During the past week quantities of flowers were found In bloom on thehill sides close to Midway, which will give those unacquainted with the exceptional climate of this country an Idea of its mildness.

Telephone Company at its action in charging for conversations between here und Greenwood and Phoenix, for whicli l here was formerly no charge, this priviledge being given to those, who were paying a monthly rental for the use of 'phones. It is doubtful if the new system adopted liy the company will bring as much revenue ns was derived from the old system, owing to tbe number of 'phones that have and will he ordered out since the new system was put in vogue. There is no doubt that before the V. It N, company purchased the Columbia line that both it and the Columbia Telephone company lost considerable money, hut it is rather a shortsighted policy for to undertake to make up the losses sustained hy oper aiing a competing line, by charging exhot-bitiuit and almost prohibiten y rates, since it acquired the old Columbia Hne, The bonding nf the Morrison mine, in D.-adwond camp, at the present time, while copper is sn low, speaks ■Well for the future of the Boundary country. If Boundary properties are sought nfler during the present tein p r;iry depiession in the copper mar bei.it furnishes a good idea nf the demand there.will be, ns soon as cop ft again gets buck to its proper val ne, for the big copper proposiliont nf which there are such a large number 1.1 this district. The Morrison is a big low grade copper proposition, hut it is the large bodies, even if of low garde, lhat are demanding the attention of the investor, it has heen dent oustraied beyond a doubt that it is not ibe properties containing small veins, even of exceptionally high values, that are looked upon with favor by those seeking investment. The mine wns thoroughly examined hy mining engineers of unquestionable ability and their report so satisfied the syndicate for whom the report was made, of the possibilities of the Morrison, that a bond was taken on it. The «mmiiii involved in Ihe deal isstifflci* ■•-ntly large to indicate that the parties putting np the money 'are niep nf importance, who it would appear are eil her sure, or think they are sure, that the copper market will right itself in a very short time, as the date for making a payment of $80,000 is only a month distant. Thn description of the Stemwinder, the properly of the Fairview Corporation, L'in iti d, which appears elsewhere in fhls Issue, shows that the property is now ina position to mine and treat its ores on a comparatively extem-ivescale atid furnishes a striking example of what can be accomplished by the enterprise of an individual, possessed of unbounded faith in Ihe ultimate Mitirfactory lesulls to he obtained from bis energies. At one time slock in the properties of Fairview Corporation sold readily and the money obtained from the large ►ales was expended in developing the properties, m ot-t of the work being done on the Siemwinder. But there came a time when there was not en* ong money in the treasury for further development, shareholders became ditatistietl, and the Investing public looked upon the purchase of stock in the Fail view Corporation as anything but a profitable investment. These circumstances gave a set-back to the camp, and Fairview for some time was very quiet Indeed. Whether t hese unsatisfactory results were due to mismanagement or other causes it mallei* not, the fact remains that but little attention wns paid to the camp for nine time. In spite of this condi tlena of affairs there'.*. as one individual interested in the Company who never lost faith in the properties of the Fairview Corporation* and that individual was Richard Uusstll. Through his efforts tlie stock of the company was made accessnble, by whii h nielli od sufficient funds were raised to put the Stemwinder in its present satisfac tory condition. In a few days a clean up wili be mude, winch is expected by the management, of the mine, who base tbeir sanguine expectation! on former tests of small amounts, to give results that will bring joy to the shareholders. Fail view ittiip is now the scene of much activity, due principally to tbe enterprise of I he Fairview Corporation in general and Mr. Russell In pai Liutil.il*. This instance demonstrates what might be dune in many other camps if tlmy contained more men possessed of the enterprise of Mr. Rtts- s- II, It is just such men as he who set the wheels of abandoned properties in motion, npd make theui dividend payers instead of allowing them to remain as monuments of mismanagement.

RAILWAY Much dissutisfaciion is expressed among a large majority of the patrons of the V, & N. Telephone Oompany at its action in charging for conversations between here and Greenwood and Phoenix, for which there was formerly no charge, this priviledge being given to those, who were paying a monthly rental for the use of 'phones. It is doiibiful if the new system adopted by the company will bring as much revenue as was derived from the old system, owing to the number of 'phones that have and will he ordered out since the new system was put in vogue. There is no doubt that before the V. AN, company purchased the Columbia line that both It and the Columbia Telephone company Inst considerable money, hut it is raiher a shortsighted policy for lo underialte tb make up the losses sustained hy oper aiing a competing line, by charging exhoibitniit and almost pmhibitoiy rates, since it acquired the old Columbia line. The bunding of the Morrison mine, in Deadwood camp, at the present time, while copper is so low, speaks well for tlie future of the Boundary i-nillitry. If Boundary properties are Br niglit after during l he present tein p rury depiession in the copper mar ki'i.'n furnishes a good Idea of the demand there will be, as soon a? cop p-r again gets back lo Its proper val ne, for the big copper propositions of which there are such a large number ii Ihis dislrict. The Morrison is a big low grade copper proposition, hut ii is the large bodies, even If of low garde, that are demanding the attention of lhe investor. It has heen dem- nnstraied beyond a doubt that it is not ibe properties containing small veins, even of exceptionally High values, that are looked upon with favor liy those seeking Investment. The mine was thoroughly examined hy mining engineers of unquestionable ability and their reporl so satisfied the syndicate for whom the report was made, of the possibilities of the Morrison, that a bond was t;iken on it. The amount involved in lho deal issufflei- 4-ntly large to indicate that the parties putting up the money'are niep _f import ance, who It would appear are eil her sure, or think they are lore, that the copper market will right itself in a very short time, as the ilate for making a payment $80,000 is only a month distant. The description of I \ia Stemwinder, the property of the Fairview Corporation, iihiiltt'd, which appears elsewhere in this Issue, shows lhat th* properly is now in a position to mine and treat its ores on a comparatively extensive scale and furnishes a striking example of what can he accomplished hy the enterprise of an individual, possessed of uiihoundtd faith in the ultimate Hiti.'fiictory icsiills to he obtained from his energies. At one time slock in the properties of Fairview C'oiporation sold readily and the money obtained from the large ►ales was expended in developing the properties, in ott of the work being done on the S: em win der. But there came a time when there was not en- oog money in the treasury for further development, shareholders became disatii-tieil, and the investing public looked upon the purchase of stock in I he Fail view Corporal ion as anything but a profitable investment. These circumstances gave a set-back to the cninp, and Fairview for some time was very quiet indeed. Whether these unsatisfactory results were due to mismanagement ur other causes it mat- lew not, the fact remains that hut little at tention wits paid to the camp for some time. In spite of this condi tions nf affairs there Mas one individual interested in the Company who never lost faith in the properties of the.; Fairview Corponition, and that Individual was Richard Busstll. Through his efforts the stock of the company wasiiia.teaccetsable, by whiih meth od sufficient, funds were raised to put the Stemwinder in its present saiisfac tory condition. In a few days a clean up will he made, winch is expected by the management of the mine, who base Iheir sanguine expectatioi s on former tests of small amounts, to give results lhat will bring joy to the shareholders, FniivifW ean.p is now the scene of much activity, due principally to the enterprise of I he Fairview Corporation in general and Mr. Kussell in pailicul.ir. This instance demonstrates »hat might be done in many other camps if they coiitninud more men possessed of the enterprise of Mr. Runs' II. It is jnsl such men as he who set the wheels of abandoned properties in motion, njiil make them dividend payers instead of allowing them to remain as monuments of mismanagement.

Mr, Arthur Turner, the ex-Premier's son, is acting as the secretary ot Ihe agency, and it Is undeistood that Mr. A. K. Stuart, who hadcliarfec of tho Provincial mineral exhibit at the Paris and Glasgow KxpohiiiouK, will also bu included in the staff. Tho situation of the office—tho centre of thu business poitiouof the city- has given general satisfaction to British Columbians, who at one time feared Mr. Tinner would locate in the wesl. end. It is understood that at flrst he favored Victoria street, and even at the lust moment very -neurly decided on a suite of offices in . Cock- s|,ur street, As to the ivisdom of spending to much money on rent and nmititcniiuco tlie general opinion Is that it is a mistake. A much smaller oflice would have sufficed, und if the Province has such a large sum of money tn expend it could well lie devoted to nioreiidveiitiigeoiis purposes, hiv.1i as the insert ion of adveitisemunlu in the press and the distribution of reliable mining information.

C. ffl m M An Encouraging Future. Of all countries in the world, none witl enter upon the new year wilh brighter prospects than the Doniinion of Canada. Of all the seven provinces of the Dominion, none has a more substantial foundation upon which to huild its hopes of the future than the province of British Columbia. The unsatisfactory state of the market for tliu two principal metals we produce may for a few months exercise a disturbing influence. But in one case at least the uncertain factor will soon pass out of the market. Tbe increasing uses to which electricity Is being applied will soon create a steady demand for copper. The erection of lead refinery within the bounds of our own piovince, which should in a large measure render us independent of th* United Stales combine, and the marked reduction in the rates for Ireal ment of ore, should have a stimulating influence upon Ihe silver lead mines of Ihe interior early in the year. The wisdom of the Dominion government in granting a bonus for every ton of lead refined is about to lie justified in a most marked manner, we hope. There are many prospects tbat may he converted into shipping'ininvs very speedily when less costly facilities for treatment are available. With stable, progressive governnient In give a tone of conttdence to the business community and to enter upon necest-ary enterprises for the removal of the obstacles that block expansion, the rate of progression in this province will he so rapid that in a few years old timers will wonder what form of madness lias taken possession of the people. Next in importance lo our provincial welfare is that of our Eastern neighbors. If we commence at the eastern boundary ot British Columbia and work our way to the waters of tlie Allan lie, we will probably Hud the same optimistic feeling as possesses us here. There cannot be activity in one section without a stimulus being exerted upon all. The cattle ranchers on the western pi airie country aro benefitted by the increased demand for beef in the growing markets Of British Columbia. With sixty million bushels of gtain for export and great streams of settlers flowing in as a result of the unique advertisement ibe country has received, Is it any wonder the farmers of Manitoba are in a buoyant mood and that he business men share Iheir feelings ? Western Ontario too is heing transformed under the remarkable influence of Clergnc, who seems to possess almosl magical (towers for transforming the face of nature. The works he his established around Sault Ste, Marie nre almost of marvelous magnitude, all things considered. Railways are made to transport the produce that has heen raised and the goods that have heen turned out fast enough lo satisfy the demtnds; there are not enough vessels on the lakes to convey the wheat to iti destination. The result is the manufacturing and shipbuilding industries are more active than at any previous time in the history of the country. Quebec is moving along in tbe old slow way, disliking and repelling to some extent innovation. On tbe Atlantic coast we And a steel producing enterprise tbat is sending ita wares even into tne protected markets of the United States and to the cradle of tbe iron industry, the Clyde. Towns have sprung up there in • year, after tbe manner of some of tbe coal cities in our own province. Tbe future of Canada is indeed full of promise, As a young country perhaps ft ia pre-eminently our duty to press forward eagerly into tbe future, forgetful of tbe period of industrial probation through which we have passed.—Victoria Times.
