tempting as to allure the average Amer
ican to embrace them, or to favor thc
formation of syndicates to invest in that
direction, but the requirements may bo
mentioned to put adventurers in possession of facts that may save thiiu
considerable expense nnd trouble, The
term of u lease Is 15 years. To get it one
must deposit 100,000 rubles (181,800),
All the preliminary work or prospecting
must be completed within the first three
years of the time of the lease. That,
however, is only the starter.
The .essee must provide and maintain
an assistant surgeon at the works, and
annually pay the government $515 for
Ihe support of a physician. He must
also maintain a police force in the ratio
of one to 30 workmen employed and
furnish the force with provisions, clothing and comlori.ibl... lodgings, etc., and
pay to tlie crown as wagea tor each
policeman 600 rubles and $1,430 for an
assistant engineer und police inspector.
All these officers must be provided with
what ihey may wish, including eoipfort-
able homes, transportation and even
luxuries, not omitting Murnm's extra
dry on special occasions. A justice of
the peace must also be maintained and
supported. In the meantime the
inhabitants with their reindeer must
bave the privilege of roaming at wi I
over the leased tract, hunting, fishing or
enjoying themselves as they see fit, providing they don't carry off tbe leased
ground.
But these are not all that are required
of the lessee. He is not allowed to em*
ploy foreigners only by particular, leave
and sanction of tbe governor-generul in
each case, As security for certain duties
and taxes he must submit to the retention of $15,150 deposit made on the
auction day, and in case of his failure to
observe the terms of his lease the $15,100
will be forfeited. The lessee is subject
to all existing mining laws and to those
which may hereafter be enacted. These
are enough, but there are others equally
as arbitrary and exac'ing, any of which
is sufficient to discourage any freo born
American from taking' chances upon
renting Siberian placer or quartz
locations.—Western Mining World.
Warner-Miller Chartered Company
The Warner-Miller syndicate has been
granted a charter ny the Ontario government, under the title of tbe Slocan
Kilo Development Company, with a capital of $7,000,000. They propose working some Outario propeities ns well as
the large number of valuable holdings
they have acquired around Slocan City.
A 100 stamp mill for the Kilo group is
one of the things promised in the spring.

will succeed in doing so, ns tbeir advent
here would meau much for Silverton.
At the present lime this company is
probably the lamest employer ol labor
in the Slocan. Tlie managers believe in
payim; good men good wages and consequently are taking no part in tbe prevailing Eight-Hour dispute.

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

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

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.

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.

Gives Strength and Appetite.
Hon. *7. N. Roach, United States Senator From North Dakota.
Hon. Wa N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota, personally endorses Peruna, the great catarrh cnre aud ionic. In a recent letter to the Peruna Medicine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C,
Senator Roach says:
"Persuaded by a friend I have used Peruna as a tonic, and I am glad
to testify that it has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and appetite.
I have been advised by friends that it is remarkably efficacious at a cure
for thc almost universal complaint of catarrh'"
.Senator Roach's home address is LttimOH, North Dakota.
Peruna is not a gMN, nor an experimint; it is an abwilute, scieiititio certainty, Peruna cures catarrh wherexer located. Peruna bus uo substitutes—no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no oue persuade >nu that some other
remedy wil! do nearly as well. There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna. Address the Peruna Medicine Company, 1'tiluuibun, Ohio, for a
free book on catarrh, written by Dr. Hartman.

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. He should
remember that he holds bis seat as s

Dunsmuir clique.

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
