The latest addition to the list ol properties now being worked around Silver- ton is tlie Fisher Maiden, which started up last Monday* It cannot be definitely ■tated as yet whether this property will be a steady shipper this winter or not, although it ia known that the ni'inage- ment will prepare for some immediate shipmeuta. The Fisher Maiden is, compared to most of tbe Four Mile properties, an old property, having made shipments nearly two years ago. For various reasons, luck of ore not being one however, the mine waa shut down about a year ago and no thing haa since been done towards developing the property. Considerable work has been done on this property and tuu- nsW aggregating 1000 leet in length have Inm*. driven. Up to the date of tbe •hut down, the Fisher Maiden had sent down and shipped 125 tons of extremely high grade ore, giving average smelter returns of 270 os*. The Fisher Maidentlies on the north side of Four Mile creek about eight and a halt miles from Silverton. STOPPED BY BAD WEATHER. We are informed thst to-day the Congo jtroup,on Red Mountain, is to entpend operations ior Uie Beaton. This seems unlortnnate, as it has one ef the finest jrarfacn (-bowings of apything in the camp. Tho present owner Frank L. Byron enly acquired tho property a lew weeks ago and as the property lies at a high elevation, he haa not had time to put tliinicainto than-to enable tlie work to be carried on properlv Ihis wim.-r. He bas therefore concluded to suspend oueraiious for tlie time being, with tbe intention of pushing developement work In the sprint:, and another winter will see him prepared f >r it. Tho wirk dune this fill ou the property has itsta-ju- strated it tube one of onr biggest propoid- tions. Conaideialih* work has be*-n Hunt*' employed and work wiji fast as possible and probably continued all winter. Mr. Dawson has been fortunate In securing this property and its having fallen into the hands of a man who will dnvplope tnt\ work it is also a fortunato thing for Silverton, as the .opening up of this property means another shipping mine from this town In the near future. . THE CONDOR GROUP. The Condor Group, live miles op the gulch above town, which ia under bond to W II Sandiford, is showing up well and for the amount of work done is a remarkably fiat* prospect. The work done has been confined to the Condor claim, one or, tho group, and the ledge haa been traced nnd stripped for 800 feet, showing more or less ore the whole wny. A shallow winze his been sunk, showing the lodge to be in place and improving with depth. Across-cut tunnel has been started, having a present length nf 20 feet, that, will tap the ledge at a trood depth and when completed will be 130 feet long. This tunnel wili be used as a main working tunnel and is being put in as it permanent improvement, the size being 4>_ by 7).j feet clear at the timbers. Buildings are being erected and permanent winter quarters established and a forco of miners will bo employed all winter. Tjie developement of this property will be watched wilh interest by Bilver- toniaus ns it bears every evidence of becoming another of Silverton's shipping properties. A BIG OFFER.

A winze lias been sunk some ten feet and tho improvement shown is conclusive evidence that it gains in richness wilh evoiy foot in depth. A##ys from the bottom of this winze gave returns of $23.70 in gold and 7.48 per ceut in copper per ton, and assays of the iron alone ruu ns high , as $71. ia gold. Tlie property is a gold- copper proposition and the ore identical with that of the Rossland csmp. The vein, a true fissure, is strong and big. avetagiug over eight feet in width. it is unfortunate that work must be discontinued even for a short limo on such a property,us its slowing jusiifie*» big expectation*. However the short time the present manauement have had control and the early fall, has made it impossible to prepare tbe property for wbter work and a suspension of present j ~" ™ work is the result. The Condor group is being surveyed by Herbert TTwigg. Assessment work has beeu completed on the Manitoba claim near town. M. Nicholson has just completed assessment work on the Amazon claim whicli lies between the Bosun and the Neglected and bolon.s to J. C. Harris. Some of the miners employed at the Bosun mine have taken up their quarters in the cabins on the Neglected claim and will batch in preference to walkiog to Silverton every night as they have been ESSEX GROUP. The Essix eroup above town, lately purchased by G. H. Dawson of Vancouver, is proving itself to be even better tlian anticipated by the purchaser. No dombt exists now but that the Wakefield vein crosses the group and it is only a question of Work to develope the property into a mine. Three tunnels are being driven, two of which show a (Continuous streak of ore that will pay good profits for mining. The third tunnel has just been Btarted and has not yet cut the ore body, but It is only a matter of depth before the ore is cut. The ore is a cube galena carrying grey- qopper and occasionally -Inc. It is very high grade and will safely average 200 ounces in sliver and 60 per cent lead per ton. The situation of the property tt such tbat it can be opened and worked by t, tunnel system, immense depth can be gained on the property aad as the tunnel** can be driven directly on the ledge, this avoids long and expensive cross-cut tunnels and greatly lessens the cost of developing the property. The •"roup now consists of six claims, making ample ground for the blgaest kind of a company. During the past week uie camp has been moved to a more suitable Place and fl,e(iup»0d-iade comfortable ,cf.t&«B>ep, N»M-»« "* ■* vnBW Mr. Rackliff, Slocan Cily, reports that his cabin on the Hoodo claim on Lemon creek is completed and ready as winter heudquarters. Tbe cabin on the Tail Holt claim is also nearly completed. Work on these claims will doubtless be pushed ahead all winter. A force of men are now ongiised at the junction of the Wakelleld raw-hide trai" and the 8ilverton waggon road, in building a commodious ore-bouse for this/ winters shipments of Wakefield ore. Unless something unforseen should occur this property will ship about 75 carloads this winter. Ijocal Director Patterson and Engineer Barton of Ihe Wakefield Mines, Lfd., arrived in town on Monday and went directly to the mine. They left again on Tuesday. Our reporter had not an opportunity of speaking with theee gentlemen but we hear that they expressed great satisfaction at the good showings exposed at the mine. While building the Comstock waggou- road near that property, tho graders cut » fine looking ledge, exposing good ore. This showing is on the Bonaparte claim the property of L. Leibert and John Gillis, who had just campleted tbe ftwessment work on tbe claim at another point on the ledge. Tbhs new find but adds value to what is already known to as * valuable property. • Prlvute, bath rooms, at Tom Mulveys.

Invitations will shortly be issued, .ludgiug from the success which has uttended alt tbe past affairs of this order, we can safe, ly predict an enjoyable time at this coming event. It is rumored in Slocan City that the much talked-of Springer creek wagon road will yet be finished this fall. Tnls ia as it should be, us this road is a necessity for the successtul working ol' Lemon nnd Springer creek properties. It is to be hoped that tbis rumor has something behind it to warrant it and that work wil1 recommence at once. Tho ss. Slocan bore a party of distinguished railroaders over tho lake on Thursday. The party consisted of Sir William Van Horn and the various provincial C P R otlicials. Just below Sil yerton the steamer waa stopped loug enough to allow the sports of the party to shoot adeer, which obligingly swam out to meet Sir William. A squirrel trespassing on C P R property and refuain- to vacate, was attacked by thst company's employees, who, assisted hy several dogs, who's dally scraps had been pulled off, by armfu Is of rocks and lucked hy half the rubberneck population of the camp, proceeded to enforce their demands. After throwing several tons of rocks and wasting about $2.00 worth of cartridges, 'hey forced the squirrel to retreat, duly impressed with the power of the great company. Slocan City is once more in the ranks of the progressive towns of the Slocan and many improvements are being made in and around the business blocks of the City. Among others, we notice particularly the building of a cold storage room for wood in the rear of C P Wicliman'e barbershop and the installation of an acetylene gas plant hy Teeter Bros., proprietors of the Wilson House.

Not among the leant of the signs of our returning prosperity was the bringing in of an additional ten pack-mules for the already large outfit of cur enterprising packers, Anderson & Brady. With the fall in the price of silver aud (he general depression consequent therto, came the determination to this firm to divide their .stock, Mr. Anderson taking the old outfit of mules to faraway Glenora, aud we are pleased to hear, has been most successful in securing freight at good figures. Mr. Brady remained in Silverton with the horses and has been able to keep the outfit busy 111 delivering supplies to onr various minus. As the different prospects have developed and proven themselves to bo mines capable of shipping large quantities of ore, consequently needing moremon and supplies, the firm found itself unable to handle the freight. They commenced adding stock, first an extra team or two and lastly a herd of ten fine mules, thus putting their Silverton outfit back to where it was and making the firm one of tbe largest freighting concerns in the provinoe.

The hitter iH tlie compuny organized by V. Lewis (.'lurk und Charles Sweeney io^ike over the property <>f the old Last Chance company. These mines are at Wardner in the Coeur d'Alenes. The pluintiir company owns tho Steniwindcr claim, and is asserting thut it holds, through this claim, tho apex of the grin t ore body of thc defendtint company. The ease wus set for hearing at Potu- tello, Idaho, lust week, The Bunker Bill people asked for an Injunction, which win* refused by Judge Beatty ufter a full ti earing. The Hunker Hill and Sullivan people claim the Last Chance ore body through |iriority of locution of the Stemwindci' fluini, which adjoins the Lout Chance claim on the south. The pluintitl' inserts the light to follow the vein within the planes of its end lines extended whicli would include all the ore nl ready mined by the l-sist Chunce and most of tint which the newly organized Empire Stale Main, coinpunv is mining und expect* l'i mine in the claims beyond the Lust Chance upon I tin same vein. The suit is for an injunction and un accounting. The temporary injunction having lieen refused, the case will now bc tried upon its merits iu its regular turn in the liilei.il court. It the Hunker Hill and Sullivan people are successful in their suit it will stop one of the largest dividend |Mying companies in the Coeur d'Alenes. Tlie company is ,i new* one but it has been paying dividends from the first month of its organization last spring. The company includes some large capitalists in New Vork, where it maintains ofliccs in the Slokeg building, on Cedar street. While the Last Chance is the best developed chum in thc company's group, it is only one of*. 17 claims which lie either upon the great Wardner ledge or contiguous to it. Ilie case is another of those tedious ones involving extra lateral rights, and since the contestants are both large corporations and able to fight long and with determination, it is predicted that litigation will be king drawn out. Th* Cyler-I.n.t Chance. Tlio October session of the United States court of appeals convened at San Francisco last week. A number of decisions were handed down, and several applications in pending suits were made. In the case of the Tyler Mining Company against Uie Last Chance Mining I ompany it was ordered remanded to the lower court ami judgment for darningcs modified. The companies disputed' Uie right to certain lands in the Showhonc mining district in Idaho and considerable litigation followed in the state federal and United States supreme courts. The present action was over certain amounts allowed for damages to thc I_ist Chance Mining Company, the Tyler Company having filed a bond, pending the hearing of an injunction suit to restrain the I.ast Chance from continuing work on the mine. In rendering the decision Judge Beatty Si.id: ■', "While I realize that the total assessments again-i the Tyler company in the two actions seem large, yet it must be remembered that when Uie Tyler commenced these actions, the law of the apex and iindergrc-und rights, as announced by the supreme court, was as it stands today, and as shown by the county records the Tyler locul ion was junior to the Lust Chance claim. The Tyler's only hope of success was eiUier to overthrow the apparent priority of tlie List Chance location or procure a change of the views of thc supreme court On the contrary, the costs and damages awarded the Last Chance are but a small portion of its . actual losses suffered through this action, but its chief losses are of such nature m 1 think cun hot be included in this taxation." Mammoth Placer Mining. J. G. Riehy, a prominent mining man, lias returned to Ijewiston, Idaho, froiii Denver, where he went two months ago to enlist capital in a mammoUi placer mining propositi^.. . What has been known as tlie Big Bar on Salmon river has puzzled covetous prospectors for* AD yenrs, but engineering lenders and impractical methods of operation have left thc auriferous deposit intact for a strong company of practical mining men to open nnd i*eap Uie golden harvest Uiere- froin. The bar consists,of*an area of more than 100 acres of gravel 00 feet deep, This vast deposit carries values from tin* grass roots to the -bed' rock but the real . pay streak is at the bottom and only seven feet thick, To handle the tailings ami strip tlie play streak has been the obstacle to suci^-gful mining on this bar. Tho pay streak pi-ospects $2 a yard and on this work enough in drifting has been done in a crude wuy to build the Columbia river locks. A steam pump was put (a p*n,,P „ few years ego and it was used till the fuel supply was exhausted. Then a 10-mile ditch was eorsftructcd from a creek to the hluir on the opposite bank of Salmon river and the water waa brought across that stream in a suspcnitadpipe Ij506 feet long. This seven-inch pipe waa too small. ft lt "woufcl supply only 50 inches of water, and so small a head was smothered in the oruuibhug debris and the batter cur- vied off the gold, in fact, this tempting prospect has brought disaster to many investors but the success of the Salmon River Cold Milling Company is assured in advance. Work will begin Immediately on a large ditch to furnish a sluice-head und power to run a pump to raise a plpehrod HW feet above the river. This arrangement will meet the conditions thut brought disaster to former operators. There is a million in this bur and it seems to be easily accessible to these practical men. This mine is 50 miles from Ijewiston, near the mouth of Salmon river, and directly tributary to tliis city. Struck a Vein. A contract was concluded recently between the Princess Maud Company uui tho Jim Blaine Company of Republio camp by which the Princess .Maud people nie permitted to start a tunnel on Jim Blaine ground to tap thc Princess Maud vein. Thc ledge on the Princess comes close to the Jim Hlainc side line. A tunnel will be started on the Blaine ground and will run 300 feet through it. Its total length will be aibout 382 feet and it will tup the Princess Maud vein at a depth of ulioiit 242 feet. This tumid will encounter tlie vein in wbout Uie center of the claim so that drifting both ways may be undertaken. News came from Republic last week that the crosscut tunnel started on Jim Blaine, ground to mich thc Princess Mund vein had entered a ledge on the Jim Uluinc which has never been opened be fore. At last accounts the tunnel Was two and a half feet in quart/, with no wall in sight. This strike is close to the Butte k Boston end line and indicates Unit the latter property also has a vein which has never before been prospected. Hit*h Ore on Admiral Dewey. Arthur Webb, A. J. Burlette and Oie Tufeson have obtained good values on ore from the Adi d Dewey, a claim which they located _•« May on thc north side of the South Fork two miles below Os- burn, Idaho. On the surface they obtained an assay of tjilO per ton, and from the bottom of a 25-foot shaft they took ore that yielded at the rate of 0." ounces in silver and 2.2 ounces in gold. The shaft will 'be continued until the lead is found in solid formation, it being more or less broken so far, and if it then makes the showing it does now they will go down the hill to where they cun run a 300-foot tunnel, cutting the ledge about 250 feet deep. , 1Hm Idaho Strike. What is confidently claimed, to be the most important strike ever made in the gold belt of the Coeur d'Alenes was that on the Crown Point reeenUy. Tills claim is situated at the head of one prong of Trail gulch, on which some of the richest placer-, of the early days were found, lying partly on the Trail and partly on the Pritchard creek side of Uie ridge, dividing them. Rich ore has been found on it for years, sometimes apparently in plan-, but usually as tlo.it, and when considerable bodies were found further exploration has always proved them to be merely fragments of the ledge broken off. Francis Jenkins, one of the owners, put up his Hi stamp mill to work thc Crown Point und adjoining properties, but although he got some good ore out of a small ledge, it was evident Uiat it was not the same ore for which he was looking. ln doing the assessment work this full the parties engaged to do the work were given the privilege of doing the work wherever they deemed it advisable, and they started in to find the lead. Their efforts were crowned with great success, us they have shown it unquestionably in place,.at intervals of 400 feet The ledge varies from 10 to HI feet in width, showing free gold in generous quantities from wall to wall wherever uncovered. A Mr. Linden of Portland owns the controlling intercut, and nothing can bc learned regarding further work on the property. ' A rlne Trip, Willium Munson, who came from Chicago last spring for thc purpose of testing the overland route to the Klondike, has just returned to Colville, Wash., from a trip as far north as Teslin lake, and will remain for a month resting up before he goes to his eastern home for the winter. He says that Uie trip was as good as might be expected, and in face, wus a delightful summer's outing. Mr. Munson and his party found thc country good enough this side of Teslin lake, and havo located several valuable placer claims that they will go back to in Uie spring. Mining Voles. Reports from Cooke, Mont., state that the mill of the Daisy company is now in operation, and it is confidently believed that it will open a now era of prosperity for the New World mining (listrid. Cun Swanscn has returned from bis placer diggings on Quartz creek, Mont,, and has in his possession the largest nugget ever taken from that ground. It weighs 215,pennyweights and is pure gold. Its value Is more than $200. The placer operaUons on Quartz creek this year have been unusually successful, ond all of thc cleanups have been satisfactory. Anderson k Moore of -rSilver Star, Mont., proprietors of thc Yellow Jacket mine, have laid off the majority of the men until a shaft is sunk and more ground opened up so that the men can work lo beilei advantage. They made anoUier shipment of first class ore to Butte. The camp of the mineral land commissioners at I-ithrop, Mont., has been broken up and the field work of the commission in that section will not bc resumed till next season. The members arc in Missoula and will continue the work in other districts us long as the weather will permit. The season's work has been extensive and the ground thut has been examined is all valuable. ITEMS FROM HOME AND AWAY.

Secretary Alger's answer contains about 3000 woiils on the selection of Tain- pu. an u point of embarkation. Rear Admiral Sampson's dispatch as to the cause of hastening trooops to Santiago. Commodore Remey's dispatch as to tlie cause of thc delay of troops. The discussion of these topics exhausts the report.

New York, Oct. 10.—A dispatch to tlio Herald from Washington suys: The United Stutes may submit a diplomatic protest through France to the Spanish government agiiimit its action iu sending au auxiliary cruiser loaded with .uinn ami ammunition to the.Philippines, In any event thc matter is under consideration ami it is believed has been culled to the attention of the American coiniiiissioners in Paris. The cruiser in question is the Huenos Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxiliary navy, which, us Hear Admiral Dewey reported to the nuvy department several days ago, is due to arrive in Singapore October 111. It is appreciated by the authorities that Spain has the same right in the eyes of International law to send reinforcements to tlie Philippines as this government has, and any protest will be of a diplomatic character and simply designed to make it plain Unit the continuance of the voyage of the BueuoH j\yres is objectionable, On the other hand, a member of the cabinet tonight said all the Philippine Islands except .Manila are iu the nominal possession of Spain, and that it is Undoubted that the .Madrid government, if it deems advisable to do so, has the right to send troops to the islands to subdue any insurrection that may occur. Another member who talked of the matter with the prealdent admitted that Spain has the moral right to dispatch reinforcements to the Philippines but as the forces of our government are iu control, it is within its authority to prevent such reinforcements reaching their destitution. However, it is not expected that the matter will go beyond a protest, if it goes that far. From the dispatch received from Chair man Day, the authorities are still of the opinion that the work of the peace commission will lie completed before eoii- grese meets. Mr. Day takes iiuite un optimistic view of the situation. It is his desire, to limit the time for doci.-'ion of the various points raised as much as possible, in order that Ihe organisation may rench an early conclusion. Tmlny's Sessions.

The main use of the coverings at night is to give the body the warmth that is lost by reduced circulation of the Wool. When the body lies down it is the intention of nature that it ahould rest, aud that the heart especially should be IS* licved temporarily of its regular work. Sn that org-nn makes ten strokes a minute less than when the body is in an up- rlght posture. This means tiOO strokes in lid minutes. '1 hen-fore, in the eight hours flint a man usually spends in taking his night's rest the heart is saved nearly 5,000 sirnl.es. As it pumps six ounces of Wood wilh each stroke, it lifts 80,000 ounces less of blood in this night's session than it would during the day when a man is usually in un upright position. Now the body is dependent for its un until on the vigor of the circulation, and, as tlie blood flows so much more slowly through the veins when one is lying down, the warmth lost in the reduced circulation must, bc supplied by extra coverings.

We are in receipt this week, among our exchanges, of No 1, Vol. 1. of the Kootenay Mining Standard, edited and published by D. R. Young of Nelson. The Standard comes with a clean make up and full of interesting reading to the mining world. The Standard ii edited "to fill a long felt want" and as the editor adds, "That it will do so there can scarcely tie a shadow of a doubt", can any more be said. The trouble in Illinois ia tho natural outcome of the system used by mine operators through tbe Eastern States, in getting miners with families to locate at their mines aud then gradually cutting wages, threatening to bring in niggers, Chname.c and dagos, if they did not suouiit, These cuts are stood until the miner is down to a starvation wage and the next cut drives him to desperation. Property is destroyed, blood-"h*id follows, the law steps in and the companies win. But tho stand of Gov. Tanner in this trouble in protecting the citizens of his state against .optaida cheap labor is to be admired by all lovers of .justice.

Our neighbor the Ledge in a few pointed paragraphs draws attention to its meagre local advertising patronage, To stir up the phlegmatic nature of the usual run of the Slocan business man requires something more than a pen.
