"������ / i < I ;-/' THE CASCADE RECORD Published in the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts Vol. II. CASCADE, B. C, FEBRUARY 3, 1900. No. 13. 0 SIX DAYS TO SIX HOURS The Johnson Process of Forced Filtration a Success. REMARKABLE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Can Extract Eighty-six Per Cent of Values in Republic Ores in Three Hours���Time Reduced From Six Days To Six Hours. The experiments which are being conducted hy S. H. Johnson, the London metallurgist, on the treatment of Republic ore by what is known as the "Johnson" process, have been very satisfactory, although better results are expected. His experiments were made with roasted ores of the Republic mine and resulted in the extraction of 80 per cent of gold in two hours and 86 per cent in three hours' treatment. Mr. Johnson is now proceeding to make tests with treatment occupying four, five and six hours. The process is one of forced filtration and Mr. Johnston states that the filtration in his experiments has taken but one minute, and the washing and displacing of the solution takes five minutes. When it is considered that in the process now in operation in the Republic mine filtration by perco lation occupies six days, it will be seen that a great saving of time can be made by the forced filtration process. In talking of tho new tests which have been made the Republic Miner says: "He has been using bromide of cyanogen in his experiments to assist the action of the cyanide of potassium, but in his next trials will use the straight cyanide and will extend the experiments from one to 12 hours and thus be able to compare the renpective merits of the direct cyanide and the bromo-cya- nide processes. It is believed that the ores of Republic camp can be treated by the Johnson process at a cost'much less than that of the present system, and it will be possible to handle even the lowest grade ore of the camp at a profit by the new method. Mr. Johnson says that these roasted ores are the best he has ever seen for filtration, so far as his experiments have yet progressed. They filter twice as well as the best ores of West Australia aud in one- fifth the time. In West Australia the best ores are treated for $1.40 per ton, and it is more than possible that Mr. Johnson's experiment* may demonstrate that the Republic ores ran be handled for equally as low a figure, in which event it would be possible to treat ores of as low a grade as $5 per ton and still secure a good profit. The securing of 86 per cent extraction in a three-hour treatment is quite an achievement in itself, but Mr. Johnson says he will not be satisfied until he can secure the extraction of at least 95 per cent of the values in from four to six hours. If this result can be obtained the success of the process in this camp is assured. An exti'aition of 33 per cent of the silver values are secured, and Mr. Johnson believes that this also can be increased. It is doubtful, he says, however, if the increase of extraction in the case of either the gold or silver can be carried past a certain point without increasing the expense to such an extent as to annul the profits, and it is to the ascertaining of this exact point that he is now bending his energies, it having already been demonstrated that the ores of the camp are amenable to the treat merit." john Mckinley loses his way. Forty-eight Hours in the Snow and Icy Fastnesses of the Mountains. On Wednesday of last week, early in the morning, a young man came to this office to inquire about ihe Dewdney trail. He desired to id to Rossland and asked if we thought it safe to take the trail cutoff. We earnestly advised him not to attempt such a dangerous task. He was thinly clad aud had no overcoat. In this connection we find the following in the Ross- la i d Record of Tuesday last. The McKinley referred to is the man who came to this oflice the Wednesday previous: John McKinley had a terrible experience in walking over the I'cwduey trail from Cascade City, narrowly escaping death from the cold. He started last Wednesday to walk over the trail from Cascade io Sophie mountain, but lost his way on the first summit before ciining to Sheep creek. With no blankets and unable to find shelter he wondered around in the snow and the bitter cold until Friday, when he found the trail again. He i hen made his way to the Evening mine on Nigger mountain, having traveled between 20 and 30 miles. His f<et were badly frozen and he could not have traveled much farther without giving out entirely. He was taken good care of at the Evening till Saturday afternoon, when Hugh Hastings, the superintendent of the Arthur, brought him to the city on his horse and took him to the Sisters hospital. He is doing well and will suffer no permanent injury from his experience. Too Much Exaggeration. No good can come to the individual or the mining camp which he represents from the exaggerated reports of rich finds that are so much in vogue at the present time. From the new districts ai.d the old ones now being revived the daily newspapers are bewildering with statements of ores being found which run into the hundreds of dollars to the ton. Experienced miners understand that in a new property a very rich assay represents a very small find, both to the assay test and the ore in view, whereas the statements are so contrived as to convey the idea to the uninitiated that the ore is both rich and abundant. For the good of the state and the industry as a whole such reports should not be made. The truth is good enough and will always prove the more profitable.��� Mining World. THE TABLES ONLY LEFT, The Banquet was Necessarily Postponed��� It Had Been "Swiped." The ladies of the Bell-street Methodist church, Ottawa, were shocked la��t Thursday night on discovering that their banquet had been stolen. There was to have been a church social in the school room and the ladies of the congregation had worked hard all the afternoon, decorating fourteen tables in the room. Shortly after 5 o'clock everything was in readiness and the ladies retired toprepare for the evening entertainment,which was to commence at 7.30 o'clock. About 7 o'clock, the first of the ladies returned and were astounded at finding that the entire feast had disappeared. All the viands, knives, forks, plates, dishes, spoons, tablecloths,���everything, had vanished and the fourteen tables were bare. At first it was supposed that someone had perpetrated what was intended for a practical joke, but soon it became apparent there was no joke about the matter and the social was indefinitely postponed. The case has been placed in the hands of the police, but nothing so far has been discovered as to who are the perpetrators of the outrage. Shs���Guess what I paid for my new hat? He���Nothing; I paid for it. TWO Bid CONTRACTS LET S. F. Quinlivan Gets the Open Work, Olaf Oleson the Tunnel. FIGURES NONE OF PUBLIC'S BUSMESS As Soon as Conditions are Favorable Large Forces of Men will Begin��Work on Cascade Water Power and Light Co's Flume. The tenders submitted by contractors, in numbers reported to be twelve, to the Cascade Water Power and Light Co., to drive a tunnel 400 feet and remove 20,000 cubic yards of rock, were passed upon by the authorized agents of the company the forepart of this week, the result being announced that S. F. Quinlivan had been awarded the task of removing the rock in the open, and Olaf Oleson that of driving the tunnel. The amounts of cash payments involved in these two contracts are of considerable magnitude, their exactness being carefully concealed from general view, matters of which the agent here declares the public is no more entitled to know than it has to be conversant with the cost of his bread and butter. Strictly speaking this may be a fact. But this community don't care a whit what he pays for his bread and butter, or whether he pays for it at all, for it cuts no figure in the weal or woe of the locality as a whole. In the more important matter of the power works it is different, as upon that hinges more or less its present commercial status. In the interest of sub-contracting the work at the lowest obtainable figures, it is politic to keep the original sums under cover. However, the public can endure this slight privation with good grace; the development work will proceed whether the public is accurately posted in detail or not, and Cascade will rightfully enjoy the reputation of having Ihe largest payroll of any town of it�� size in the Boundary, as close on to 100 men will be on the different lists. As the agent here is uncommunicative and unnecessarially, we think, averse to any publicity as relates to the affairs of the company, we shall have to content ourself in keeping our eyes and ears open and and holding frequent consultations with Madam Rumor, as to the progress of the works and any connected matters of public interest, avoiding at all limes knowingly printing any misstatements. ^___ 2 THE CASCADE RECORD February 3, 1900 Jc, IN AND AROUND CASCADE. The Chinese New Year is on. It does not make much noise in this community. The almond-eyed population is limited here. The Board of License Commissioners will meet in Trail next Friday. Four applications, three for Trail and one for Phoenix, will be passed upon. Tbe Republic Pioneer says it cost the two candidates for mayor of Grand Forks $3,000 each, and judges from this point of view that votes come high in that crotch of the Kettle river. Mrs. G. K. Stocker was circulating a subscription paper Wednesday, in the interest of Grandma Southam, who lost everything by the burning of her home Tuesday afternoon. The generous-hearted citizens of Cascade responded liberally. The Republic mine has ordered 40 carloads of machinery for its new big cyanide plant, from Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and New York. The C. P. R. obtained the entire contract for its transportation in competition with all the American trans-continental lines. Mrs. W. M. Wolverton was taken seriously ill a week ago yesterday, a physician being summoned from Grand Forks. This week she has been very sick, but at last accounts was slightly improved. Mr. Wolverton came down from Summit City and remained here during the week. Mr. Wm. Forrest, J. P. of Gladstone, was in town the early part of the week. In his honor Mr. R. Darrow and Miss Darrow entertained at a small party at dinner and cards in the evening. The guests included Mr. Wm. Forrest, Mr. Angus Cameron, Miss Kate Cameron and Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Mahaffy. Ernest Bunting, who had been employed the past year in the retail department of the B. C. Mercantile & Mining Syndicate, of Cascade, severed bis connection with that house this week, and Wednesday went to Greenwood. He will take a position with his father, H. Bunting, a lumber merchant of that city. Ernest is a sobtr, industrious young man, and no doubt will be successful where- ever he goes. The next social of the Presbyterian church will be held Thursday, Feb. 8th, in the north room of the Townsite Co's building. The prices of admission will be as follows: Adults, 25 cents; children, 10 cents; family tickets, admitting two adults and children accompanied by their parents, 50 cents. A pleasing programme is being prepared, and it is expected all will attend ready to do what they can toward a pleasant evening's entertainment. Cascade Public School.

When Mrs. Southam, who is over 70 years of age, discovered her little home to be on fire, she attempted to run hurriedly up the hill from her daughter's where she was visiting at the time, and in doing so she over exerted herself and fell prostrated on the ground. Just then, a young man came to her assistance, lifted her up, said a few consoling words, and placed a $5 bill in her hand. Mrs. Southam says she would like to know who he is, that she may thank him for his kindness. It is said he came in on the noon train that day- In speaking of the circumstance, we heard one lady remark, "He haB a dear old mother somewhere, of whom he was thinking at the time." Surely Buch tangible, disinterested sympathy is worthy of more than a passing note. Later���It was learned that the young man's name is Geo. Tunstall, who is representing the Hamilton Powder Co. Wanted to See the Priest. One day this week a man was noticed loitering around in the vicinity of the new church. On be ing asked what he was looking for said, "I want to see the priest." The "priest," Rev. Mr. McCoy, was not at home the first time the man looked for him, but next day he was found. It seems the fellow some thirteen years ago had taken an oath before a justice that he would never take another drink of intoxicating liquor. He has now repented of that act and desires to be absolved from the obligation, and thought the "priest" the proper party to appeal to in this case. Rev. McCoy told the gentleman that the agreement could not be annuled for it was made with God, and God would not consent to such a proposition, Unless both parties to the obligation were agreeable to its abrogation, its violation would be a great sin. The man sorrowfully retired. Keep your eye on Cascade.

Mr. A. M. Johnson has transferred the Mugwump, Gold Bug and Sunrise mineral claims to Mr. J. A. Netherfield, of Rossland. Lieut. J. W. Oshome, of Toronto, son of J. K. Osborne, was killed in action with Gen. Lyttleton's force Jan. 26th. He was 27 years of age. Princeton is to have a local paper, by name, The Similkameen Star. R. E. Gosnell and James Anderson are the promoters of this enterprise. During the past week the war newH has been of a gloomy nature. The British forces have been checkmated iu every movement, and the outlook is not very encouraging. Spion Kop was relinquished immediately after capture, and the British forces retreated across the Tugela. Yesterday's latest news reported Gen. Buller engaged agaiu and it is thought he was having another go at Spion Kop. As the Imperial government's eyes are gradually being opened to the immensity of the South African job now on its hands, its ideas of the size of the force needed to meet the enemy successfully aie growing. There are already 213,000 troops with 452 guns in South Africa. Yet the Boers have scarcely been budged a foot. These times are the days of seriousness with the British empire in all its parts. Local, Dominion and Imperial parliaments are in session. But the matter of most deep concern is the great struggle in South Africa. In silent contemplation the nation awaits developments, with emotions of both hope and fear. The south half of the Colville Indian reservation, it has been officially announced, will not be opened for settlement for at least six months yet. The Greenwood Fire department has purchased 100 chairs for the use of its members. It should now vote an appropriation for sole- leather with which to protect the seat of its pants. Does the Nelson Miner class itself in the great array of "fool- newspapers" to which it so flippantly refers ? If not, why not ? According to its local contemporary, the Tribune, and most of the "fool- newspapers," it belongs in the list. Jo-nah Martin is succeeding admirably in establishing an unenviable reputation in his political career in this province. The opposition, though descending to questionable methods to establish a "want of confidence" in the government, ought to feel a bit degraded in Joe's company. P. Burns, the meat dealer, iB building a costly residence in Calgary. This fact seems to annoy the journalists of both Rossland and Nelson. They charge Mr. Burns with putting an extra cent to the price of their meat to do this. Dollars to doughnuts, if he had put three extra cents to the price of meat and put up palatial residences in their towns, too, they wouldn't have yipped a solitary yip. We see by the papers that Republic is making a move to improve tbe wagon-roads between that town and Grand Forks. The commissioners of Ferry county are acting in conjunction with C. P. R. officials, and agree to vote $350 for the purpose named if the railway company, who is the greatest beneficiary, will appropriate $1000.' To enhance the value of real estate and generally improve business, there is nothing that will prove more beneficial than good wagon roads. Stewart & Welch, says the Nelson Miner, have secured the contract for constructing the Nelson- Balfour railroad. The statement now appears to be affirmed. The successful bidders represent the firm of Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, of St. Paul. The work will commence immediately, as the purchasing of supplies has begun. Mr. J. A. Bertois of the B. C. livery stable has embarked in the hotel business, having rented the Cosmopolitan building for that purpose. Bert is a keen business man, has many friends and ought to succeed in his new venture. It is reported that a San Francisco party is in the Boundary preparatory to organizing a company to work the bed of the Kettle river by hydraulic methods. Ed. Johnson was taken to the Greenwood hospital on Tuesday by Constable Darraugh. Some time ago he got into an encounter and was badly hurt. Later he was found at the Central hotel in a bad shape, and was removed to the hospital on the advice of the physician, It is said that he formerly worked at the .Mother Lode mine.���Phoenix Pioneer. CASCADE LADIES' AID SOCIETY. Financial Statement Covering Time Since Organization. The Ladies' Aid Society of Cascade has a right to feel proud of the result of its labors for the past six months. The total receipts of the socity during that period were $143.55. In the same time, from July 14, 1899, to Feb. 1st, 1900, the total disbursements amounted to $120.45, leaving a balance of $23.10. The disbursements made were as follows : Church Building Fund, $55.75; Home Missions, $25.40; Bible, lamps, dishes, $25.00; Klondike Nurse Fund, $2.00; Sundries, $12.30. In addition to the foregoing the ladies, previous to organizing the Aid society, raised $45.00, which was applied on the Church Building Fund, making a total of about $200 raised by the ladies in the past six or eight months, a record that would bo creditable to a much larger place than Cascade. LOCAL HAPPENINGS IN BRIEF. The Hotel Cascade has been doing a landoffice bushiest* the past week. This week we have enjoyed frosty and sunny weather. Yesterday it began snowing. Yesterday was "bear" or "ground hog" day, and there were no shadows to indicate a late spring. The town has been full of strangers this week. The letting of the flume contracts has brought many here seeking employment on the work. Rossland, in various ways, swelled the Mansion House fund $2,500. Greenwoods "Pay, Pay, Pay" entertainment produced $500 for the same fund. Work has been commenced on the new railway depot here by a gang of carpenters. The new building will be located just west of the present temporary affair. Mr. S. J. Quinlivan will put about 50 men to work next week on his contract, which consists of the removal of some 20,000 cubic yards of rock. He says on both contracts many more men will be needed than there are at present in town. Mrs Jos. H. McDonald arrived in Cascade Tuesday, from Price- ville, Ont., and is stopping with her husband at the Hotel Cascade. Mr. McDonald is employed on the big dam works. The lady was accompanied by Miss Hanna Sullivan, the bride-elect of Mr. M. J. Quinlivan. We understand Mr. Quinlivan and Miss Sullivan have gone to Grand Forks to arrange for their marriage the forepart of next week. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald and others from Cascade will attend the ceremony.

NUMBER THIRTEEN Had oo Terrors for Contractors oa tbe Longest Tunnel In the World. They had no fear nor superstitious misgivings concerning unlucky numbers who undertook one. of the greatest engineering enterprises of the century which began November 13, 1899, when the first blow was struck on the Simplon tunnel. This tunnel will be twelve and a half mile* long���the longest in the world, and is to be completed in five and a half years at a cost of $13,413,500. It will be the third tunnel connecting Italy with outlying countries by rail and will: save 43J miles between Paris and' Milan.

Tuesday afternoon last about 3:30 o'clock, flames were seen issuing from the roof of the little house occupied by Mrs. Southam, on the brow of the hill buck of the burned district on First avenue. Before the alarm hud been sounded and scarcely anyone had arrived on the scene the structure was hopelessly enveloped in flames, and was totally destroyed with all its contents, which constituted all of the unfortunate woman's earthly possessions, one old rocking chair being all that was saved. At the time Mrs. Southam was visiting her daughter Mrs. Brown, residing at the base of the hill mentioned, two or three rods distant. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective flue. No insurance. The building was an inexpensive one and belonged to the Townsite company. Phoenix's Railroad Problem. Jay P. Graves, after interviewing the C. P. R. officials, writes from Montreal under date of Jan. 16, to L. C. Crawford, of Phoenix, as follows: 'The officials inform us that they expect to complete that trackage, if the snow does not interfere, as soon as the line is completed to Midway, and that they will lay it for our own use at once if we have any freight of any consequence to move, and that it will be laid as eoon as we require it for ore shipments, so that the people interested at Phoenix need not worry about the spur as it will be ready as soon as we are ready for it, which will be sometime the last of February at the latest." An Attempt to Burglarize. Monday evening, some miscreant on burglary bent, broke open the back door to a little building just west of the Columbia hotel, and with an icepick tried to break open a well filled trunk, the property of Mrs. Banprield, which had been temporarily stored there. The would-be thief must have been frightened away before he had accomplished his purpose, as the trunk was unopened, but the teeth of the pick were found broken off in the lock. For the benefit of the unsuccessful burglar and the safekeeping of the trunk, we will say it was removed, the owner being absent at the time from town. MINES MUST HAVE MACHINERY. A Five-ton Boiler Hauled from Bossburg to Republic on an Improvised Sled. Last Saturday, a large steam boiler passed through town on its way to Republic. It was said to weigh five tons. It was loaded on an improvised sled made of logs cut by the wayside, and which it is claimed hat! to be renewed several times during the trip. It was drawn by eight horses, with eight, more on hand for heavy grades. The price for transportation of the boiler, we understand, was five cents per pound. This would give the freighters $500. As it took sixteen horses and four men about two weeks to make the trip, there was not a large profit in the contract, when the expense of feeding is taken into account. Besides, the roads being icy, the horses were sharply calked, and not one of them had a well limb under him, being frightfully cut and maimed. SIXTEEN HOURS OF TERRIBLE A00NY. Death of Mr. Newbond ol Ymir Under Most Distressing Circumstances. News comes from Ymir of a dis tressing accident on Thursday of last vteel<. A msn: i amed New- bond biid tbe contract for removing the cord wood used at the Tamarac mine. He had taken part of the wood away on Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock and was busy teaming off the remainder when a pile of wood, on top of which was four feet of snow and ice, fell on him burying him in the snow and breaking his left leg in two places. The unfortunate man remained where he fell, partially covered with the cordwood, from 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon until between 8 and 9 o'clock on Friday morning, when he was discovered. Dr. Keller was at once sent for and although the injured man recovered his senses for a short time the rally was only temporary, and he died very shortly after being rescued.

The building will be equipped with all the latest improvements as regards facilities for handling the rapidly increasing business. LONG RAN0E MINING. Cape Nome Sand is Being Transported to San Francisco for Treatment. So rich in gold are the sands at Cape Nome, Alaska, that vessels have been engaged to carry cargoes of it to San Francisco for treatment on an extensive scale. It is said to average twenty-live to fifty cents and more a pan, and to grow richer the farther from shore one gets. Contemplation of the vast wealth thus covered by the ocean waters "dazzles the mind and confuses the brain" one old miner says; but the gold is there, beyond doubt, and men will devise ways and means to secure it. As the present diggings, already famed for their richness, are in the same beach sands which are left dry by the falling of the tide, there can be little doubt that nearly the entire coast line of Bering Strait, even to some distance from the shore, is yellow with the metal that moves the world.��� Northwest, Magazine.
