Indications point to small shipments
ol ore from tlie Slocan during December, but a heavy export for January.
The method adopted by the larger
mine owners is to bulk their ship -
inents, rather,: than to'despatch the
ore in straggling carloads.
Some elegant samples of mica from

The C.&.Iv.N.Co., presumably' acting with' the C.P.R., have made a
proposition to the Trail creek mil e.-s
to carry "their■" ore out during the

to be amply sufficient to cut out the

Tiie .sleigh road between New Denver and Three Forks is nearly completed, and if Denver is not entirely
out" of luck there will be snow on it
this winter.
7 On the wagon road from tho Idaho
to the concentrator 100 men are at
work. The work will be done in 30
days at a cost of ${i,C00. The road
will be five miles long and has a 12

There are many brunette stumps
in the streets of Three Forks. They
are too short for shade trees, and too
long for a man to, step over without
hurting hfs corns. Not being required for bric-a-brac, and haying lived
past their 'days' .of usefulness they
should be kicked to pieces by a band
of mules and consigned to the cold
cruel waves of Carpenter creek.
The postmaster at Three Forks is
the personification of generosity. He
puts all the newspaper mail" on a
counter and the public help themselves, in this Way he saves much
physical exertion and his method is
highly appreciated by that portion of
the community who never subscribe
for any paper, but have no scruples
in helping' themselves to .literary
productions when an opportunity presents itself.

This week's shipments of ore from
the Slocan via Nakusp establishes a
record Avhicli will not be  broken for
K.ome time.    The ore  has been fran
the storehouse of the Slocan Star at
Three Forks and has been forwarded
to Omaha. Both the Lytton and the
Kootenai have been handling the article, the latter having the aid ol the
scow. Three hundred and eighty- «
four tons in all, or 26 carloads, have
been-sent out since, last reporting, at
a release value of |38,400, TJu's
week's hauling will finish the Slocan
Star contract, but 1,0.^0 tons more
Will be shipped out ".in"January, II.
Mann securing the job..of getting it
out to the 'Forks.- The Noble Five'
people have.', concluded to export 500
tons at once, followed by several hundred more: from the Mountain Chief.
The Alpha is piling dp WO tons at'
Silverton, to be handled probably at
the end of the month, with heavier
lists in January. The Fisher Maiden
is also stacking five tons daily at Silverton, as the nucleus of a big shipment. It is estimated that over iu,
000 tons of hlgii7grade ore is on the
dumps of,;the various Slocan mines,
awaiting the advent of snowto rawhide £md ship, to say nothing Of the
Immense bodies; df7 concentrates or

quality ofthe ledges, as well as the
size of the crystals.   The veins are
extensive and the. working of them
will doubtless prove as profitable to
the owners as.it will be advantageous
to the town's prosperity • With mica
and gold propositions ^working- on a
good paying basis so near at hand,-
our citizens could the more complacently await the" restoration*o£ silver
to.its former standing.
Owing to
increasing*
the extensive and Overuse; of "mica in" various
electrical appliances,   the   value   of
that serviceable mineral is becoming
more pronounced.    The attention of
mining men is' being" turned to the
profits to be made from its working,
and' enquiries* are constantly  being
made for-available properties.    Canada and the United States each have
large 'deposits' of the' mineral,   the"
former principally  in the provinces
<. Ontario and Quebec.    In the United
States it is being' mined in the Caro-
lihas, NeW Hampshire, Connecticut;
Nevada and Alabama, investigations
in the latter state showing that the
lodes had been worked in prehistoric
a/es.    Africa also enters the mart' as'
a competitor in this article, the deposits being scattered  here and  there
throughout the" dark continent,  but
the mica is not of good quality.-   Tlie
peculiar advantage of the mineral to
electricians is in its superior insulating properties, and as such readily
meets with a brisk demand at paying
prices.    The value varies  from five
to 50 cents per pound, according to
size and quality;  even the tailings
being made use of    " "-7.
Many companies, foreign and domestic, have been organized of late,,
with large capital stocks, to acquire
aiid work mica lands, the mere suspicion of its presence being sufficient
to treble ana quadruple the price of
wild realty, -particularly north of
Ottawa. Experts admit tlie superiority of the Canadian article over that
from the States, its principal rival, in
size, clearness, and general commercial value. . in 'tliis province deposits,
have been discovered in various localities, the district surrounding
Kamloops having -shovfn. some first-
class specimens, indicating the existence of large bodies. But drawing
nearer' home, Nakuspites may find an
object lesson to guide their town to
future "prosperity' in the discoveries
made two'*-weeks' ago in the hills to
the west of the lake and within-sight
of their own thresholds. The discoverers and loca tors of the claims on■
Mica creek, there being four locations,
'"have a good thing and thev know it-

to hire men in Nakusp to load ore on

building a large steam barge, to ply
between this port and the foot of the

obviate the double handling of the
ore here, as the cars would be run on
to the barge and conveyed to the
upper railway, and soon direct to the
smelter. The barge would be built
here and capable of transporting a
dozen cars.
