Array Daily Edition No. 1108 Nelson, British Columbia. Wednesday, August?, 1901 Eleventh Year WILCOX IS LOOKING WELL Ymir Property That Promises to Become a Great Producer. A Rossland Man Who Has a Good Thing���Mines and Mining. Ymir, Aug. 0.���One of the finest showings of ore ever obtained in the Ymir district is now exhibited in the Wilcox mine owned and operated by the Broken Hill Mining & Development Co., Ltd. This property lies nliout seven miles up Wild Horse creek and has been continuously developed during the last three years so that at the present timo there is some 2,000 feet of development work accomplished and large bodies of rich ore blocked out. The exceptisnally flno showing referred to above has been obtained on what is known as tho No, 2 or "Fourth of July" vein On this vein a shaft has been sunk to a depth of ISO feet which is tapped at tho 155 foot, level by an adit tunnel of 250 feet. Both shaft and tunnel are in ore for nearly their whole extent and both the sido ot the shoot and the value of the ore, steadily increase with depth. In the deeper portion of tbe shaft tbo vein is four feet wide and includes two feet of solid steel galena ore carrying li high gold value, besides silver-lead. The actual average value of tho two feet of galena ore is no leBs than $150 per ton in all values and it may be safely snid that having regard to its size this is one of the richest shoots of oro over discovered iu the Province. Some of the ore taken out from tbe upper portions of the shaft where it is not so rich by any means was shipped to Northport last winter and returned $57 per ton. Phil White who is superintendent und manager for tho Broken III 11 Co., Is pushing on tbe development of this rich body of ore. The winze from the floor of the tunnel is down 25 feet and be is now starting a second lower tunnel. The contour of this ground lends itself to very economical mining by means of adit levels and this second level will tap the vein in 500 feet at a depth of 400 feet. Besides this rich ore body on the Fourth of July claim, the company has a considerable body of ore already blocked out on the Wilcox proper. On this claim the No, I voin consists of ahout three feet of vory soft oxides und carbonates *rom which the gold can be freely panned. There aro three tunnels totalling over 1,000 feet on the two veins on the Wilcox besides a shaft down 200 feet. The average value of the free milling ore in vein No. 1 is about $111 por ton and there ia already a largo tonnage ready to bo broken down as soon as a stamp mill has boBn installed. Meanwhile further shipments of tbe rich galena oro from the Fourth ol .luly will bo made. tenay river,at a point opposite to Port Hill, Idaho. The road should be completed by the full and shipments can bo made this winter. I am putting in u steam plant and before long will bave a machine drill at work. This will facilitate operations to a considerable extent, so that when the road is completed theie will bo plenty of ore for shipment. There are three claims in the group." Mr. Klock- ruan left yesterday afternoon for Rossland. Yesterday's mining records were: Transfer of mortgage of $200 on the May Blossom from John F. Harbottle, Ymir, B. C, to S. S. Taylor of Nelson. The following locations were recorded : St. Thomas and Telegraph mineral claims on head of Hall creek, adjoining No. !li), on the south formerly knowu as Cliff House and Corea located by E. Peters, Nelson; Number Four, 13 miles north of Erie between new fork and east fork of north fork, to Joseph Campbell. Certlfioates of work were grunted as follows: Uardwick, to Matthew Hill. Cliff, to R. Ronnie, et al; Examiner, to J. _'. MeFarlane; Smuggler Fractional, to Sam Marshall; Deer Trail, to John Hall, et al; Annie to John U. Mclntyre; Trout Lake to W. U. Singer.

(SPECIAL TO THK MINER.) Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 0.���Mr. McCaffrey manager of the (iovernment assay office, received a wiro from Ottawa today that the (Iovernment had decided to buy the gold straight, thus making the Vancouvei establishment a purohasiug ollice as well as an assay office. It was explained at the assay oflice that this meant that the bank charges of three-quarters of one por cent, that the banks were getting for cashing the assay office certiefinles, shipping the gold to Seattle, would bo done away with, and that instead the assay oflice would give a cheque on tjie Bank of Montreal payable at par. In othor words that only the assay aud mint charge, the same as charged in Seattle, would be deducted^', from the value of thu gold, while one per cent, rebate on the royalty would be unincumbered by any other charges whatever and this ono per cent, rebate would represent the advantage the miner would bave in cashing bis gold in Vancouver rather than in Seattle. CHINESE SITUATION. A. N. Klookman, of Rossland, and William Roberts of Nelson, returned yesterday from a visit to the Continental group in Northern Idaho, just south of the international boundary line. The group is owned by Mr. Klockninn aud is considered to be one of the most valuable in that section. Mr Roberta examined tbe property In the interest of a syndicate of Duliith capitalists who contemplate purchasing it. Mr,Roberts in speaking about the mine yesterday said: "Tie surface showing is very large and continuous and there is plenty of ore, The deepest opening is a shaft which is 100 feet deep and in tbis there is a fine showing of ore. I carefully sampled tbo ledge but have nol yet had the samplos assayed. I feel satisfied, bDwovor, that the ore is of a good grade and that there is plenty of it. The greatest draw'.ack is the lack of railway transportation facilities," Mr. Klookman said: "The Continental is a high grade silver-lead proposition; Indeed, experts deolare that the ore will yield a net profit of $25 per ton after paying for,mining,transportation and treatment. They tell me that there is about $175,000 net profit in the ore which is now ln sight. With a view lo getting the ore to the tnaikot I am having a road constructed from the mine to tbe Koo- Lord Lansdowne, Fotoign Secretary, Speaks Hopefully of Prospects. London, Aug. 0.���Lord Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary, replying in the Houso of Lords today to a question of Earl Spencer, Liberal, said the Chinese negotiations had recently made rapid and satisfactory progresss. The indomnity question was disposed of with the exception of a few minor points. There was still some question whether tho matter of the commercial facilities in China had not hotter be transferred to some other pluce than l'okin and to some more wieldly body than the present conference. Great Britain was still In favor of the open door throughout China. Tbey could not complain they had not oqunl commercial advantages in the Yang Tse Valley. The Foreign Secretary also said that the final strength of the legation garrison at Pekin wil probably be 1800 men and that an additional force of 30,000 men would bo distributed at different points along tho routes along tho sea. The Secretary regarded the Anglo- Uerman and the Anglo-Russian agreements as satisfactory and as tending to the maintenance of China's territorial integrity.

C., Aug. 0.���The headless body of a man has heen found outside the narrows about a mile and a half west of the waterworks. The body was in a fair state of preservation but has not yet been identified There was kut ten cents in the pockets of the clothing and no papers.

Selby Smelting Works Robbed of S340.000 in Gold Bricks. Job Cleverly Done by Means of a Tunnel and an Upraise. Vallejo, Cal., Aug. U.���Ooldbricks valued at, $3-10,0110 were stolen during the night from the Selby Smelting works. The robbers evidently had been working on the job for two or three months. They had dug a tunnel from outside the house, beginning with a shaft about three feet deep. Thence thoy worked underneath the vault and striking upwards bored a hole in the lloor. The hole was shaped like the manhole of a boiler. Part of the boles were bored two months ago, It is thought, and the last hole was completed during the night. Through that hole they took off tho gold bricks and carried tbem to a bank near the mouth of the tunnel east of the works whore they were evidently placed in a boat. In their hurry the robbers left, two of tho bricks on the bautc. Boring the night one of the workmen reported to his fellows tbat he heard a noise in tho strong room and declared it was a ghost. The other ridiculod bim for his superstition but an investigation was made to see what caused tho noise. The entrance of tbe tunnel was covered with a frame, over which the employees of the smelter passed repeatedly every day but no one seemed to notice anything out ol the way. Sheriff Veale, of Contra, Coeta County, and Chief of Police Sanford of Vallejo huve been notified and are now at tho works. The police of San Francisco and Osebaycitch are at work on the case but so far there is not tho slightest clue to tho robbers. The work was that of skilled men and their elaborate plans were carried out without a nitch. Thoy got all the bullion in the vault, leaving behind only the two bricks which were dropped on the shore. Only one day's accumulation of refined gold was kept at the works. Yesterday's run was unusually heavy and the gold was to have been shipped back to San F.an- cisco toduy. The tunnel that the robbers excavated was about three feet in diameter and gave them plenty of room io which to work. �� It is supposed that the dirt from the tunnel was taken out at night and dropped in the bay. First reports stated that tho tunnel was two or three hundred foet long,but according to late advices it was about ten feet in length. The shaft was started clnso to the wall aud was sunk below tho foundation, thence it was only a short distance under the lloor of the vault. It is thought the men who committed the robbery took their plunder in a launch and made olf for San Francisco. Following is a liBt of properly stolen: Four Une gold bricks, all numbered and containing li,750 ounces. Also 10,000 ounces of gold in various ���hapei and a little silver. Thc gold in tlio bricks is worth $'.'0 an ounce. ", THE LARDEAU RAILWAY. Ahout four hundred men are al work on the Lardeau railway and the number is being increased from time to time. II. L.

The outlook is that there will be no shortage in "our daily bread" in Canada during the next year for Manitoba is now garnering ono of the largest wheat crops ever grown in that fruitful province. It is pleasing to note that this province is prospering, even if Iliitisb Columbia is having little troubles of her own in the Btrilie at Rossland and minur matters which need remedying. Ex-Premier Gljeenway, who is an authority on agricultural topics, says tbat never in the history of Manitoba were the prospects brighter for an immense wheat crop It is estimated by the ex-premier that there are 2,000,Ono nuros bearing wheat antl that the average yield will be .10 bushels to the acre. This would give a grand total of (10,000,000 buabels. The prospects of so bountiful a liar- vest has caused some Manitobans to grow enthusiastic and President Thompson at tho opening of the eleventh annual industrial exhibition at Winnipeg on July 2Hth in his address said among other things: "Manitoba is on the eve of the greatest harvest in her history; a harvest which forecasts her as the brightest and richest in the magnificent aggregation of provinces comprising tho Dominion of Canada. I would that my words were weighty enough to bo carried on the wings of tho press from one end of the empire to the other, when I say that right here, in this mighty Canadian Northwest, lies the future granary of thc world. Right here must come the i'lporting couutries for their bread. What then is our heritage'.' Anil how little cun we appreciate our future possibilities! Although in the afternoon of my allotted lime I hope to live to see the day when the province of Manitoba will ho producing more wealth than the entire spring wheat crop of the United States, which promises today some 250,ooo,0"0 bushels *or more. When wc reulii-e that less than 10 per cent, of the fertile lands of the prov ince are under cultivation ; lands ca pablo of producing the finest grades Of hard wheats known in tlie world today. When we think of the vast territory extending from the boundaries of Manitoba and tbo west to thc foothills cf the Rocky mountain, having within its boundaries 150,1100,000 or 200,000,000 uctes of the finest agricultural and grazing lands in tin world, wo must oonolude that the timi cannot he far.distant, for the duvel opniont must come, antl when our fa minis grade of wheat known as Maui toha No. 1 hard, must become a prime factor in the prijo of the world's bread stuffs." While Mr. Thompson in his speech dealt largely in what brokers would call "futures" Mr. Greeiiway's csli mate is, perhaps, so accurate tbat it may be taken fur granted lhat tho wheal yield of Manitoba will nggn gate what hi' says It will, about III) 000,000 bushels, This is sufllolcnt to feed a vast multitude. Estimating tbe nvorage consumption of bread at u pound a day per capita anil wheat ut 60 pounds to the tiushel each In- diviilual would uonBume about six bUSbulB of wheat per year iu the form of 'luur made Into broad, At this ratu Manitoba Will raise nearly enough wheat to make bread for n'- moHt double the Dominion's population; in otler words Manitoba will harvest enough of I lie cereal to supply 10,0(10,000 people with bread for a year, Canadians can, therefore, have nil the bread they want ami also furnish the material for tb.' stair of life for several millions outside of the Dominion.

A great effort was made to save tbe Yukon murderer's neck but the authorities at Ottawa refused to Inter- fore with the law. It cost Canada (100,000 to convict a comparatively unknown man ot the murder of threo equally unknown men, but it teaches American thugs to have great respect for tho Union Jack.

CURRENT COMMENT Victoria Times: Tho dispatches today indioate tho reasons why Great Britain is so anxious thut, 110 offence Bhould be given to.lapau by any of the colonies of the Empire. The critical time in thu history of the Chinese ilillii'iiltit's has not yet passed. The schemes .��� t nations work out si owly. If it were ordinary colonization of a new countiy lhat is about to be un dertaken in China time would soon settle all question of supremacy and Great Britain could alford to wait with equanimity. It is a much more complicated problem that has to be solved. The present dilbculties of the Empire in other quarters give opportunities for boldness of intrigue somewhat beyond tho ordinary. That, the highest interests of the world would be served by a British diplomatic triumph there can be no doubt. The management of India, Egypt, and other countries which are not capable of tbe fullest 'self-government proves it.; tho open door which welcomes commerce from any quarter without distinction of Hag accentuates it. The triumph of France or Germany would mean the erection of barriers to commerce within their spheres of influence, therefore it is resaonable to suppose that tbo United States aud Japan are behind Great llritain.

Georgia Play Minstrels Will Not Ball Unless Paid. The Georgia Minstrels are a rum lot of ball players. It was announced that they would play tho Nelson team at 3.30 yesterday afternoon and several hundred perspiring citizens wended their way to the recreation grounds to see tho game. There was the usual fortv minutes delay and the spectators spent the time in perspiring some more. Nelson's team was half inado up ot juniors and when the visitors fiist went to bnt a few errors aud a few hits produced two runs. Nelson thou faced a tall south paw who looked like six o!clock and had an underhand tlehvei.v. One run was scored. It was at tho end of tho lirst. innings thnt the dusky minstrels began to be sorry that no gate receipts were collected and would not go on unless they wero paid. The advertising part of the gnmo was completed so they quit and the people wemled their way up town thoroughly disgusted with tho fiasco. The next time tho minstrels want to play ball in Nelson thoy will have to pick two teams from amongst themselvos. GREAT NORTHERN EARNINGS. Spokane, Aug. li.���Semi-ofticial reports are that the earnings of tbe Great Northern system for the year just closed are 1:10,055,680, a slight falling off from the earnings a year ago, but much greater than was expected because of the adverse traffic conditions following last year's e-op through Noithwcstern wheat, territory, which contributes largely to the business of the road. Statements have been made that the gross earnings of tho system for the year would show a decrease of a half million dollars. The actual decrease, according to statements secured Saturday, will be $334,077, which will probably bo somewhat reduced when the year's report is completed and oarnings from miscellaneous source are added. This year's oarnings wore contributed mainly by tho St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba section of the system, whose gross receipts amounted to $��,178,378. The eastern Minnesota earned $3,730,003 and tho Montana Central $2,151,040. _ ��� :, _ ;; Have you tried���Ironbrew. TOUCHED LIVE WIRE. Grand Forks, Aug. 0.���W. ,T.

During the past month tho work of changing the wires antl encasing them in iron pipes to protect, them from high water, haB been going on, Mr. Shannon came in contact with two live wires at the same time, causing a 40!) volt current to pass through his system.

Now, however, all preliminary arrangements have been completed, and this weok saw the inauguration of activity along the lino that gives evidence of determination on the part of builders to rush the work to completion with all possible speed. Tne first new gnng of graders to commence wont thiB week began action at Republic, In tlio gulch between tho Little Cove and Mountain Lion mines, Bstwoen 70 and 80 men compose the parly. .1. A.

Orand Forks, Aug. 0.���The reported discovery of an immense field of coal up the west fork of the north fork of Kettle river, is no pipo-dream, says thc Orand Forks News. Since tho return of Uoorge A. Fraser, James Wiseman, H. E. Beach aud 11.B. Toronto, from that country, who brought samples of the find with them, the subject has been an absorbing one here. Joseph Wiseman is credited with being tho original discoverer. An analysis of the samples shows It to bo bituminous or coking coal of excellent quality. A test mado at the Granby smelter resulted as follows: 73.3 por cent. fixed carbon, 23.2 volatile matter and 8 per cent. ash.

However, Rrakeman Robert Wheeler, who was on the derailed part of the train had a leg broken in two places. As he lay helpless near the track, Wheeler remembered that west bound passenger train No. a was due shortly, and the fear of another aud more serious acoi- dent nerved him to desperate effort, so he dragged himself up the track with his broken log lour ear lengths, hoping to gel. back in time to Hag the passenger. Hut a fellow train hand came along to pick him up, nnd told him tlie passenger was three hours late.
