An Important strike has been made in the Pauper mine on War Eagle mountain at Silver City, Idaho. Drifting north from the incline at the 500- foot level opened 10 Inches of gold ore that runs about $500 a ton. This mine is an extension of tbe Poorman that was formerly a large producer of rich ore. llal.nl.lla-. In addition to this list of tunnels there are many that are 250 feet ln length or over. Only twenty claims were recorded on January 1 ln Republic. The claim- Jumpers were few. At the Blaektall mine a winze Is being sunk on the east vein, -in north from the main tunnel. The Merrimac shaft ls down over 180 feet and water was coming in at the bottom and giving some trouble. The crosscut from the bottom ot the winze in the Golden Lion tunnel Is in 182 feet, but the vein is not yet In sight. The Chlco 200-foot level is now In 100 feet from the shaft, and from where the hanging wall was first struck It Is ln 47 feet. There Is 60 feet of ore In the Quilp mine and solid quartz in the crosscut. A complete machinery plant ls to be Installed. It Is nearlng the profit-paying point. The auditor of Ferry county, at Republic announces tbat all fees to his office must be sent in either cash or money orders. Personal checks will not be received. On the Ben Hur 230-foot level the south drift Is In 60 feet, and a drift has been run a few feet northward. The vein on this level Is about four feet wide. The value of tbe ore Is not reported: The San Poil continues to show tbe making of a valuable mine. Tbe south drift from the lower tunnel Is tn over 400 feet, and since entering on the south pay shoot, It has been run about 150 feet on the vein. Now Ihat cheaper methods of treatment, and increase mill capacity for the company and custom ores of the ramp are ripening, Republic, to a close observer, Is looking substantially better than it has at any time since Its discovery. A sample from the Gold Ledge taken across four feet in the roof of the drift shows a value of $12.32. There Is one foot ot very rich ore In the ledge, a picked sample from which showed a value of $178.54. The pay streak will average $100 per ton. Belcher camp, situated on the headwaters ot Lambert creek, 14 miles northeast of Republic and a mile north of the state road, which affords the easiest and shortest route to It, Is showing well wherever there is any work being done. The veins, according to his description, are iron capped contacts, between granite and limestone. Republic No. 4 tunnel is 2300 feet In length. No. 3 tunnel 1400 feet, Mountain Lion tunnel 950 feet, Black Tall 560 feet, San Poll 550 feet, Oolden Lion 540, Princess Maud 540, Gold Leaf 450 feet. Treasury and Republic Big Six Consolidated 450 feet. Morning Glory feet, Copper Mountain 400 feot, pie begin to see tho Importance ot it to them aa a distributing point, nnd tbat It will open up a mineral country of unsurpassed richness. It Is reported that the O. R. ft N. will build the road If they be given the right of way. The building of this road will add to the number of shipping mines east of Baker City, as the partly developed properties will be pushed to the shipping point. Another property which Is attracting the attention of mining men ls the Ex celslor group. This group is composed of the Golden Key, Excelsior and Blackbird, and the four principal ledges of the Red Boy run through this group, which ls situated on Red Boy mountain, about 35 miles west of Baker City and three miles west of Granite. The ledge on the Golden Key is 34 feet in width, and the Blackbird 20 feet. Assays on the Excelsior run as high as $338. The average assay on this group of free ore ls $11.25, and by cyanide $28. The ledges are in place with talc seams between walls and ledge formation. Britiah ( nlumblm. The St. Eugene, near Moyie, will put in new machinery to enlarge Its capacity. On the St. Eugene, In the East Kootenay district, the vein has been exposed on the surface for 600 feet. Hector McRae, manager for the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling Company, bas received the smelter returns from a car of ore shipped from the Gold Bug, one of tbe properties of tho company, which ls located near Greenwood. The value of the ore per ton was as follows: Gold, 3.72 ounces, $74.40; silver, 130 ounces, $75.40; lead, 12 per cent, $7.40. Total gross values for the car, $2,358. This ls the highest grade ore yet shipped from the Boundary country. From advices received from Cran- brook, it is evident that the strike in the North Star recently made Is a most Important one. It was made at a point 150 teet down the hill from the old workings. There ls 26 feet of ore in the vein, and the vein has been opened by two shafts sunk at a distance of 40 feet apart, and there is already said lo be $300,000 worth of ore In Sight, and there Is no telling what the extent of tbe deposit is. A large piece of work Is now being commenced at the Ymir mine, which, when completed, will be the largest piece of engineering work ever executed In that district A long tunnel Is being run from the proximity of tbe mill to tap tbe ore body at great depth. The length of the tunnel will be some 3,000 feet, and It Is to be made large enough to allow of Ihe laying ot two car tracks side by side. When tbe tunnel is completed it will run from tbe main working entrance to tbe mine, and all the ore will be brought out through it The gravity tramway now ln use will be thus superseded, and the ore placed In the mill more economically.

The year Just closed hns been a most important one In the history of Republic ramp and the Eureka mining district. The town of Republic has prospered to a degree far in excess of any other town In the state. The district surrounding the town has prospered in like manner.

There appears to lie no end of the substantial surprises accompanying tbe development of the mines In the South Fork district, Idaho. The assay shows that the ore carries $160.53 to the ton. They have two good ledges near Nelson, WaHh. Gold values predominate In one and copper ln the other. Assays are satisfactory nnd expensive and valuable Improvements are being made in the district. John F. McKee of Wallace, Idaho, wns killed last week by falling 150 feet down the raise in the Black Bear mine at Gem. He was recently from Chlco, Cal., being In the act of coming off his first shift at tbe Black Bear, when his foot slipped on the ladder, letting him fall. He was married seven weeks ago. Three deeds were filed for record ln Wallace, Idaho conveying the different interests In the Black Bear and Yankee Doodle lodes and the Black Honr concentrator to Peter Larson and Thomas L.

One tunnel, 500 feet In length, cuts the lendge at a depth of 250 feet. The outlook for the present year in Bodle camp, Wash., promises much for the mines. Shipping ore shows on many dumps, and It Is believed that development will open some shipping mines before the close of the year. Three-fourths of a mile north of the Oold Ledge, in what Is known as Cody's cnmp, the Lorna Doone Is worked with a whim.

The centre of tho Eight-Hour storm has now shifted from this district towards Victoria, where the Silver-Lead Mines Association has a strong lobby at work. In the face of a hostile house they will seek a repeal of the Eii>bt-Hour law. In the present Legislature their efforts are doomed to defeat. Then, in vase of a probable dissolution of the Assembly, we may expect a red hot campaign throughout the province, fought between labor organizations and the capitalists Thi* also can end in only one way, in the sustaining in power of the party pledged to the Eight-Hour law. That wili be the question upon which candidates, Liberal, Conservative or Independent, will stand or fall. In the meantime the idle mines of Sloqau will remain idle. The opposing parties here can come to no settlement as long as the Silver-Lead Mines Association see any chance to obtain legislation favorable to them in the near future. Unless Ihe Setfllin Government can show a better front than they have as yet this session, the people will welcome a dissolution. As long as then remains a chanco of upsetting the Government, the present intolerable state of affairs iu the Slocan will continue. Give tho electors a chance of showing the Silver-Lead Mines As sociation how unimportant it is politically, nnd the rt-Hour trouble in tin Blocan will be over.

The open alliance between tbe Dunsrauirs and Joe Martin has already cost the latter many friends throughout the Province. It had been expected that Fighting Joe would vote against the Government, but in the face of his Labor Day speech at Nanaimo, his open couflabs with Turner and Dunsmuir are disgusting to tbe labor voters. The actions of the ex-Attorney-Gencral savor too strongly of personal spite.

The Nelson Miner takes exo- ptii.i to thut clause in tho constitution of the New Denver Miner's Union thut says that mining is a hazardous business, claiming it is not a dangerous calling. Oh no! The handling^! dynamite, which every miner must d daily, is not risky, a« can be seen by tho stand tho Miner took on th- presence of tho powder houses in Nelson. Does the miner take any more risk thau an oflke clerk? Why of course not, the risk from a falling roof, caving wulls, giant powder, bad air and rotten timbers sre onljJ little incidents in a miners daily lite that makes it worth living. Tho risks are so slight ihat he should be willing to work for nothing just for the pleasure of knowing that he i,.- alive at (he end of his shift. That should be pay enough for any miner.

Tbe Sandon Mining Review hss sgain shifted its lines of attack on ihe Miners' Union and is now hurling some patriotic columns among tbe enemy, The Review bas broken cut in several spots. In the first pi,ice it tried to show that the Legislature had no right to shorten hours and forbid the sacred right of contract. This was before the Conservative Convention at Kamloops had endorsed the law. Then the Review took the stand that the Unions were in fault in enlisting miners who were not above the average, evidently wishing these men to go to work and break up the union of the better men. Then an agitation to cut out the penal clause of the law was begun, an. effort to keep square with the Silver-Lead Mines Association and tbe 8-hour Conservative plank, and lately we have been hearing how wrong the Unions were in resisting the importation of aliens The latest, possibly not thc last, stand taken by the champion of the Association is possibly moro ridiculous thin the rest, The Western Federation of Miners is an alien organisation! And what about the S-L Mines Association? Does it not takes its orders from residents of Great Britain and the United States? The Oddfellows is an alien organisation; tbe Workmen, the Knights of Pythias, the Typographical Union, and many others have headquarters out of Canada. What of them? There '- no disloyalty among their Canadian members. The habit of covering n«uos with the Union Jack is a well-known expedient of the party to which tlie Review itlitur owns political ul^uia.QQo MINING RECORDS. TIUNSPEnS.
