OVER TWO
MILES
Of Underground Developement Work
Etas Been Done Daring 189$
IN   THE   SILVERTON   HUSKS.
A   New   llaar'e   Hct1«w  of Tlie   Work
Done   In   The   Hills.
The past year han been one of health y
activity to the many minimi properties
adjoining and tributary to Bilverton.
Sonne of the older properlies havo been
more thoroughly developed and son',
that were more prospect*-, twelve moi,v'is
ago, are now ready to tako their plices
in the tront rank of the mines oi the
province. The amount of developement
work doue in the bilverton district
during the year, ag.rei*ates 11,000 feet
or over two miles and no other district
in British Columbia can point to a hotter
result for the amount of developement
accomplished.
There has been no Inoui, with its
consequent wild-cat companies. Tiie
Silverton district lias beeu most iortuu ite
in that so lar her mines have fallen into
the hands of practical business men,
who are content to work tiie mines on
their merits and who do not resoit to
the tricks of tho stock jobber to give
them r. fictitious value. Although many
of our properties aro stock companies,
the stockB are nowhere quoted, for the
■simple reason that there is little, if any,
oll'ered for sale, which iu itself ■peaks
volumes lor the confidence the owner.,
have in the mines ol this distiict.
We give below a few particulars of
sou-e of the mines, Lot their number
and our lack of space compels us to be
brief and montion only a few of tlie more
j rominent ones.
SILVERTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3\ 1898
NUMBER  27
BesidjBH this a large, amount, of other
underground woik hss been accomplished
daring the year.
The outside improvements consist of
the extending of the Silverton wagon-
road to the mine and „ concentrator ol
50 Ions per day capacity, is i-eing erected
and will be in running order within a
few weeks. The company during the
year has shipped 225 tons of ore that
has netted handsome returns. The
stockholders are to be congratulated on
the large amount of work accoiupHalltd
and the wonderful improvement In the
property, due principally to the excellent
management it has had,
TIIK WAKKFIKLL*   MINKS.
The Wakefield** Mines were started up
with a full force early last spring and a
Urge amount c*f developenie.nt work has
been acuomplitdicd. Their are live
tunnels, all driven on the vein, tin*
iiggregute length of which ia over 2000
feet. A continuous body of ore is exposed the whole length of No *.' tunnel
which is in over HOC feet ai d the ore is
also continuous in tunnels No 1,.'! and 5.
("praises havo been driven
between No's 1. 2, and .". tunnels nnd an
ostimale of the oro blocked out gives
over 3000 tons of clean or shipping
besides a largo amount of ooncontratlng
Over fifty men are at present employed,
ore is being stoped aud three carloads are
being sacked per woek. Already 140
tons have been shipped this winter,
although raw-hiding has only been
possible for tho last three weeks. A new
raw-hide trail has lieen built and an ore
house erected at the foot of it. It is the
intention of tho Company however to
e'cut a tramway from tho mino to tin*
Silverton wagon road, in the spring
The erection of a concentrator is also
contemplated. The Wakefield has
grown during the year into a mammoth
property and by somo considered to bo
tho biggest Silverton uv.nc so far opened
np
AT THE VANCOUVER GROUP.
During tho past year about 1P00 feet of
uudtrground developement work has
been driven at the Vancouver mine.
The principal work has been the driving
oi the No 3 tunnel, which consists of 325
feet of a crosscut and over 450 feet of
driftiugon the vein, besides an upraise
of 130 feet nut throuah to No 2 tun.ml
above. The old workirurs between No]
■it 2 tunnels have received u general
overhauling, three new Bhutes have le*e
put in, drifts extendeil and new oie
bodies opened up and at the present
time stoning is lieing done here and two
carloads of clean ore per week is beitig
extracted. Tlie new work done this
year has been the means of opening tap
and blockiug out over 1000 tons of cfeau
ore which, with the ore already in sight,
makes a big showing. This ore Ifl
amongflt the richest in ihe whole Slocan
region and is fairly alive with ruby
silver and grey-copper. Specimen! can
he obtained running into the thousands
and 12000 net per car is nothing unusual for this ore. During the year 400
tons have been shipped nnd h iiiucIi
larger amount is to lie shipped durinf
the coming rear.
Considerable outside improvements
have beeu done, new ore bins, ore house
and blacksmith shop have been erected
at the mouth of N«i 3 tunnel. A new
system of ventilation has been Installed,
known as a water suction blast, which is
a complete success and makluB tha Vancouver the best ventilated mino in the
Province. The buildings lor the accomodation ol the employees have been
remodeled and mad« as comfortatile nt*
possible, being from a sanitary point "f
view well nigh perfect. Under the
present management everything has
moved like deck-work and the Vancouver stands today as a model among
the mines of the province, of wh.il a well
opened mine should be.

THE COMSTOCK MINKS.
At the Comstock Mines nearly 3000
feet of underground developement work
han lieen driven, consisting of tunnels,
winzes and upraises. One year ago
there were four tunnols being driven
nnd not a winze or an upraise in the
mine. Now there are 000 feot of raises
and several winzes. Tho principal new
work consists; of the   following.
No 4 tnnnel, which is in some H00 feet,
nnd with the exception of a short piece
at its mouth has been driven directly on
the vein. This has opened up and exposed a largo amount of both ibippi-g
and concentrating ore aud has n foot of
doan ore in Its face. This tunnel cule
the ore shute at a depth of 550 feet and
raises have been put through to No 3.
tunnel above It, showing the ore to be
continuous,
No 3 tunnel has been extended and
is now over 700 feet long and two raises
have been put thiough to No 2 tunnel
above it, both raises showing from five
inches to two feet of clean oro all the
way, besides a large amount of concentrating ore.
The No 5 tunnel has been drivon still
deeper and is now tho longest tunnel In
tbo district.

EMILY  EDITH   MINE.
The Emily Edith one year ago was a
fine prospect with a remarkably good
surface showing. To day it is one of
the biggest mining propositions on ihe
continent. About ono year ago Ibe
present owners acquired the property
and at onco put a foroe of men to work
developing the mine, resnltinir in I.'mO
feet of work h.iving lieen done. Tan
tunnels havo been driven. Tho upper
one Is now in over 700 feot, and iu
running this tunnel three carloads of
clean and 1000 tons ot concentrating ore
has boen taken out and piled up in the
ore bins. Several cross-cuts havo been
run and tho led,*,' bus been proven to be
from 50 to m feet wide, tilled with ore.
a raise has been -darted GOO feet in and
is now up 86 feot.
Tlie lower tunnel is in 400 feet and
has aheadv penetrated the vast oro body
exposed in tho upper workings. Everything coming out of both tunnels is ore
and a large porportioo of it clean. The
company have erected suitable buildings
at tho up-ter tunnel and are at present
excavating for building' ami bins at the
lower tunnel. This company owns a
fine mill-site, a large amount of land
aud a good water-right. In the near
future a concentrator will be erected,
which necessarily must be a big ono as
ihe output of Ihe mine will be tremendous. This mino has, without doubt,
tho largest ore bodies yet discovered In
the Silveiton district and will be able to
give employment to nn army of men.
Situated as it is, within a short distance
of town, it is destined to be our mnin

not have fallen into belter hands than

Revenues of Manila Under "Unfavorable Circumstance*.
Appointed by the President to Attend
tha Peace Congress—His Appreciation
of Ireland's Republicanism—Will be
Other Represtatlves.
New York, Dec. 27.—A dispatch to the
Journal horn Washington says:
■Archbishop Ireland will represent the
United States at tlie czar's peace congress.
The president has had the subject under advisement for several weeks, and according to the best authority it may be
said the decision was recently reached,
the arclvbishop having agreed to accept,
the appointment.
Ever since his induction into office the
president has been anxious to testify his
appreciation of Ireland's republicanism
which took tho form of strong interviews
and speeches dining the campaign of 1890,
and of his mental gifts and learning. The
czar's call for an international peace congress at which his proposed universal
disarmament, is to be discussed, has presented exceptional opportunity to honor
Ireland in an illustrious manner. As thc
representative of the United States in
such an assemblage, his position would
comport with the dignity of ecclesiastical
office while not interfering with its duties,
owing to the temporary character of the
political appointment.
Aside from the pleasant effect such a
designation would have upon a large proportion of the population of this country.
it is assumed the United States would
gain prestige among Catholic nations
represented at this congress, as well as
achieve for the president a reputation for
good taste in selecting for a peaceful mission a professional messenger of peace
and good-will.
It is not yet known whether the arch-
bis-op will be the sole representative of
the United States or whether he will head
a delegation of three or five representative-
New York, Dec. 26.—Brigadier General
S. Whit tier, who went to Manila as an
inspector general on the staff of General
Merritt, has returned to New York on the
St. Louis with the peace commission. He
took part in all the lund fighting around
Manila, and when peace was restored lie
was put in charge of the collection of
customs at Manila.
"Between August 20,when I took charge,
and October 31, when I was ordered to
report to the peace commission at Paris,"
said General Whittier, "the port of Manila
yielded customs revenues amounting to
$1,000,000. This gives no idea of what the
customs receipts would be during 40 days
of peace and the ordinary pursuits of
commerce.
"The value and commercial advantages
of the Philippines properly administered
are very great to any country that will
develop them. The Filipinos are a well
informed people, peace-loving, thrift} and
orderly. What they want most is a government that will allow them to attend to
their own business. If they can do that
in peace and quiet, they will welcome the
new government. 'Aguinaldo comes nearer
to being a great man than any other of 20
yeurs I ever knew. As we consider age,
he is a mere boy. Yet he has done wonders in fighting the Spaniards."

QUESTION OF ECONOMY.
Mr.  Ja-nhliu   Waa  More  Than  Sufficiently Answered by Hia Wife.
Mr. Jawkim had been thoughtless
enough to say at the supper table that
he'd like to know why his wife could not
trim her own hats and bonnets.
"Dawson says that his wife trims all of
her hats and bonnets," added Jawhim.
Mrs. Jawhim paused in the act of pouring a cup of tea and said:
"Oh, she does, eh! And you'd like to
know why I don't do the same, would
youT Well, I'd like to know why you
don't do a great many things you hire
done that you could do yourself as easily
as I can turn to and trim hats and bonnets?
"I'd like to know why you pay old
Hogarty $1 a week for cutting the lawn
grass when you could do it yourself? Mr.
Dawson cuts his grass, and his lawn is a
great deal bigger than ours. I could buy
two or three hats with the money you
might save cutting that grass. Now,
•why don't you ao it? I really want to
know.   Why don't you answer me?
"Then I'd just like to know why you
don't shave yourself instead of running
off to a barber shop three times a week
and paying 20 cents each time. Will you
tell me why you don't shave yourself and
save 60 cents a week, which would buy
you a nice suit at the end of the year?
"Mr. Martin shaves himself, and he has
to get down town an hour earlier than
you every morning. Will you just tell
me why you don't shave yourself? I
want to know. My father shaved himself
all his life, and he was a busier man than
you ever were, and I've heard my brother
Henry say that he never went to a barber in all his life. And while I am acquiring information I'd like to know why
you must have your boots polished by a
bootblack every day instead of doing it
yourself?
"When I was over to Mrs. Hagn*.''s the
other day she took roe down cellar to
show me her canned fruits and preserves,
and there was a box all fixed up with
shoe blacking materials, and she said that
Mr. Ilagny polished his own boots down
tbere every morning of his life, and  he
could buy and sell half a dozen times
over any day.       Yes, and Mrs. Hagny
told me that he took care of his cellar
himself, while you must pay old Hogarty
60 cents every now and then for cleaning
our cellar I   If Mr. Hagny can polish his
boots and clean his cellar why can't you
polish your boots and clean your cellar?
I'd like to know that I
"If I were you I would try to answer
some of the questions to my own satisfaction before I lay awake nights trying
to puzzle out why my wife didn't trim

Washington, Dec. 26.—President M.'-
Kinley has received from the American
peace commission the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain. In
presenting this momentous document.
Mr. Day, as chairman of tho commission,
said it represented the earnest efforts of
dio American representatives at Paris, and
that it was submitted with the hope thut
it would redound to the peace, credit and
glory of the American nution. Accepting
the treaty from the hands of Judge Day,
the president responded with heartfelt
thanks and congratulations to the commission as a body and to the members
individually. He spoke of all that had
been accomplished und of the happy method by whicli the difficult questions hud
been adjusted.
The formul ceremony of delivering the
treaty' to the president occurred iu tlie
blue room and lasted half an hour. A
great crowd of holiday excursionists filled
the railroad station, and in order to avert
the jam the special was run on a sidetrack, where the officials had an opportunity to leave the train before it entered the
depot.
Chief Clerk Michaels of the state department was on hand as representative of
Secretary Ilay, and quite a number of
officials from the state, war and navy departments, as well as friends and relatives,
were there to greet them. As they step-icd
from the train there was general handshaking and congratulations, and then the
party was escorted to carriages and driven
to the White house. It was noticed that
as Judge Day and his associates came
from the train they were unencumbered
with any sort of luggage or documents.
But Hon. J. B. Moore, late assistant
secretary of state and legal adviser of the
commission, carried with hira a huge yellow leather case. This case never left Mr.
Moore's hands, for in it was the peace
treaty which the commission was bearing
to the president. Four of the commissioners—Day, Reid, Davis and Frye—took
the first carriage to the White house, and
soon thereafter Senator Gray, the remaining member, followed with Mr. Moore and
the precious leather case.
Secretary Hay was with the president
when the party arrived at the White hou-e.
The first greeting was quite informal, the
president coming to the private vestibule
which leads to the* special drawing rooms.
Judge Day was the first to grasp the
president's hand, then followed the personal exchanges. The president remarked
on the vigorous health of all the members.
After the president's response some time
was spent in informal discussion of the
trip, and then all of the commissioners
except Judge Day departed. The latter
remained with the president for dinner,
intending to leave with Mrs. Day at 7:30
o'clock for Canton, where they were anxious to see their family after the long
absence.
Mr. Reid returned to New York today,
Senator Gray went to his home in Delaware, and .-senators Davis and Frye remain at their homes in Washington.
It was stated that the treaty would not
be made public at present, the usual courtesy to the senate requiring that it should
be submitted to that body before being
made public. In the meantime it will
remain in the custody of the state department for safekeeping, although copies of
it will be in the hands of the president for
such consideration as may be needed.
It is the impression that with the submission of tlie treaty to the president the
official existence of the peace commission
terminated.

young salmon.
Fruit Inspector Brown, for King county, condemned over 150 boxes of apples

grass did not get much of a start.
The salmon run on the sound this season has been very light, compared with
other years, and the varieties now running are also in smaller numbers than has
been the case for years.

shipped to middle western and eastern
markets this season about 150 carloads of
fruit He says the apple shipments were
the most extensive and the most satisfactory.

be easy. About 40 men are now em-
ployed.   .

New York, Dec. 27.—A dispatch from
Washington says:
Capt. R. D. Evans' name is prominently mentioned as Rear Admiral Bunce's
successor in thc New York navy yard,
now that it seems to be decided that
Rear Admiral Sumption will remain commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic
station and Rear Admiral Schley will be
assigned to sea duty in compliance with
his request.
Unless congress should pass a law authorizing him to remain on tbe active list,
Rear Admiral Dewey will be placed on
the retired list on December 20, 1899.
Only one other retirement will occur next
year—that of Commodore H. L. Howison,
now commandant of the Boston navy
yard.
There is a strong sentiment in naval circles in favor of the passage of a law to
permit the retention of Admiral Dewey
upon the active list for 10 years, as was
done in the case of heroes of the civil
war.
Work is being pushed by the navy department on the small cruisers and gunboats to bc used for patrol service in Cuban waters. It is appreciated that in

Mr. Davta' Tribute to Lieut. Tiffany.
I wish to speak of one of the Rough
Riders whom I knew but slightly, but
whom I saw constantly about the camp
and on the march, and whom I admired
more as a soldier th.**n almost any other
man in the regiment   This was Sergeant
Tiffany, who, by tradition, and previous
environment,    was apparently the least
suited of men to perform the work he
was ordered to do.   But he played the
part given him as well as it could be
played.   He was the ideal sergeant, strict
in discipline to himself and to others, doing more than his share of the day's work
sooner than leave the work ill-done, never
stooping to curry favor from   his   men,
but winnig it by force of example and
smiling with the same cheerful indifference when an intrenching tool made his
hands run with blood, or a Spanish bullet passed through his hat, as one did
when he charged the block-house at San
| Juan.   He stood at salute and took his
orders from men with whom he had been
for many years a college-mate, recognizing in them only his superior officers, and
there   was   not a mule skinner or cow
puncher in the regiment that did not recognize in him something of himself and
better than himself.       When Roosevelt
promoted him to a lieutenancy for bravery at the battle of San Juan, I heard
him say:
"Tiffany, I am especially glad to give
you this step, because you are about the
only man who has never by sign or word
acted as though he thought he deserved
promotion. There are some who are always very busy whenever I pass, and
who look at me as though they meant to
say, 'See how humble I am, and how
strictly I attend to my duties. You who
know how important a man I am at
home will surely recognize this and make
me an officer.' But you have never acted
as though you expected to be anything
but a sergeant all your life, and you have
done your work as though you bad been
a sergeant all your life, and so I am glad
of this chance to make you a lieutenant."
nils*' Reaaona Are Personal.
Washington, Dec. 23.—Secretary Bliss,
in an interview with the Associated Press,
said:
"I have been in most hearty accord
with the president and his policy through
the trying days in which he sought to
avoid war and while, us commander-in-
chief, he was conducting the war that
came notwithstanding his efforts to prevent it. I shall leave my associates of the
cabinet and of the department and my
many friends in Washington with deep
regret, but private and personal reasons
make my retirement a necessity."

!?■    CONSUMPTION
George Casey and R. Jl. Turner, well
known in Hutte mining circles, have returned from a two weeks' visit of inspection of thc Republic mining district in
Washington, Ostensibly the object of
their visit was an inquiry into the feasibility of establishing a custom mill there.
This'will iu all probability bc done if arrangements can bc made with the various mines in thut vicinity. They were
permitted to take from 700 to 1,200
pounds of ore from each mine, making up
a cur load, to be shipped to Hutte for
the purpose of ascertaining the most profitable mode of treatment. Mr. Turner
pronounces the Republic mine a veritable
bonanza, and makes mention of the
Mountain Lion, San Toil, Hlaek Tail,
Lone Pint and other properties as having large exposed bodies of ore.
The Sliinrt  HoImI In Hut tc.
The new Stuart hoist, which is rapidly Hearing completion, promises to be the
largest und most thoroughly equipped of
W. A. Clark's properties in the Butte
camp.
It is safe to say that the Stuart mine
has by this time installed itself among the
rest of thc solid properties of the camp.
When the plans were drawn by James
Doull, they were on lines of construction
that would not necessitate the stopping
of hoisting, and in consequence, a timber
foundation of unusual strength was so
built nf to straddle the old hoist, thus
leaving shaft operation unhampered. The
dimensions of thc new hoist are 30x90
and "0 feet in height.
The Itimlii   District.
M. L. Hewitt, who has arrived from
the Basin district, in speaking of that
country, stated that there arc other properties in that vicinity besides the Hope
that will startle the mining world when
more fully developed and made known.
According to Mr. Hewitt there are mines
in that country that are practically unknown and that the development of these
claims thus far make a surprising good
showing. He feels that the Basin district
is destined to become a mining camp of
more than mediocre importance.
From Ken' Denver, II. C.
The properties near New Denver, B. C,
developing and shipping, are making
great progress since the winter forces
were put on. The Bosun Sent out two
carloads of ore last week and another
goes Saturday. This makes 507 tons that
have been shipped from this property
since work wns started on it a Bhort time
ago. This has all been taken out in the
course of development, The ore bodies
are improving with depth. Smelter returns give net profits on this ore of $1,404
per carload.
On the Marion, Silver Mountain, the
force of men has been increased to 11.
The ore showing is much better. They
have 200 sacks of ore ready for shipment
which weighs 170 pounds to the sack. It
runs 8"i ounces silver and 70 per cent lead
per ton.
On the Hartney, Convention, Anglo-
Saxon, Morning Star and Mourich, all on
Silver mountain, small forces of men have
been nt work since early in the fall and
all of these properties are making mines.
On the Hartney the tunnel is in 30 feet
on a strong ledge that is giving every
encouragement, and six inch; s of clean
ore is showing in the face. The ore showing on the Convention is quite as favorable. The tunnel on the Anglo-Saxon is
iu 41 feet and pockets of galena are being
encountered.
Number  One,   Hosslun.I.
A strike of considerable interest has
lieen made in the Number One mine near
Rossland, where the vein has been crosscut at the 200-foot level in the shaft. The
ore body has thus far proved to be two
feet, wide, and is of excellent grade. The
lowest, assay received gave jm1i1 and copper values of .$2. The rock is clean, fine
grained copper pyrites, associated slightly wilh quartz. The strike was made in
the 200-foot crosscut from the vertical
shaft, which was started several months
ago to open the ledge.
Ymlr,  11.  C.
Ymir can now boast of having two full
fledged shipping mines in the I'orto Rico
nnd Blackcock. The latter mine will
ship from eight to ten tons of ore per
day. The first clean up of the Porto Rico
mill was made yesterday and a clean np
of 04 ounces in gold in 20 hours was taken
from the plates. This did not include the
concentrate!. Old and experienced miners
claim thnt thc Porto Rico is one of the
richest mines in British Columbia, although the body of ore is not as large ns
thnt of the Ymir nnd Tnmnrnc.
The Granite.
The Granite Mining Company continues
to yield better returns, the amount* of free
gold Biived on the plntes constantly increasing. It is now in shape to run steadily, bailing accidents, nnd is considered
one of the most promising properties in
the gold belt. A considerable part of its
vnlues arc in the form of base ores, but
there bus been little trouble experienced
in concentrating the ore, nnd there is
OOnilderable of it which will stand shipment as it comes from the mine.

The Mammoth will have an air com

and the machinery of the compressor is
expected next week. The tunnel is now
! in 125 feet or more.
The boiler of the Joe Dandy has been
hauled over from Murray and will be
shipped to the Canyon Creek Electric
Light Company at Burke. It weighed 12,-
000 pounds and wns brought over in sections.
The Morning; Glory.
Samples of ore from the Morning Glory
claim taken from across the ledge at two
feet, six feet and 10 feet depth across
18 inches, assayed $005.30. This is the
richest ore ever discovered in the camp
so near the surface.
Mining;  Note*.
There is still fully four feet of clean
und solid ore in the fnce of the drift in
the Golden Harvest, which is being advanced at the rate of about four feet per
day.
The Palo Alto is improving with every
blast and the high hopes that were raised in regard to the property when it was
exposed at the collar of the tunnel that
is now being run, have in no wise diminished.
Thc Ben Hur drift is progressing at the
usual rate nnd the ore ulso maintains its
high grade. T. M. Hammond has begun
the survey of the joint tunnel that is to
be run by the Ben Hur and North San
Poil companies.
The Black Tail drifts are looking fully
ns well as for some time past and there
has been no diminution in the size of the
ledge in cither drift. Both are now carrying high grade ore. The mine is being
rapidly put in shape for stoping and it
is now assured that before there is a
mill in camp to do custom work the mine
will bc ready to produce almost any quantity that it mny be culled upon to furnish.
The Trade Dollar drift is making fairly
good progress and the ore is not less valuable than heretofore and is more solid
than where first cut by the tunnel.
Superintendent Crummer says that
there is no material change in matters at
the Iron Monitor tunnel. It is being
driven ahead at a remarkably good rate
of s*ieed.
The new tunnel on tlie Golden Harvest
has been surveyed and work' has begun.
It will tap the ledge at a depth of nearly
500 feet. It will be about 900 feet in
length.
Thc Quilp is now making a wonderful
showing of high grade quartz and continues to improve ih width and value as
the shaft goes down. As there is no
house over the shaft, work has progressed rather slowly during the cold snap.
Stringers of quartz are coming into the
face of the tunnel on the Lily claim.
This is presumptive evidence that the
ledge will be encountered much sooner
than was anticipated. The quartz is apparently of good quality.
There has been a change for the better
in the appearance of the quartz in the
Treasury tunnel nnd this wns found to
be not deceptive by assay.
The Merrimnc shnft is 100 feet deep and
a cross-cut hns lieen started. The foreman states that everything is looking satisfactory. It is not thonght the ledge is
more than 40 or SO feet away, but it may
bc much farther.
There is one shift working on the Eureka Queen. The north drift is being extended. The Eureka tunnel was only extended nbout 20 fret beyond the ledge.
A force of men have been working on
thc Minnie claim for several days. The
property is supposed to be the north extension of the Republic lode.
There is now in thc bottom of the Mary
Ann shaft five feet of solid ore that is
better than any that has heretofore been
encountered.
There are 20 men working on the Golden Lily. The work is to determine the
trend of the ledge. The Lily lies near the
Morning Glory.
Development work is now going on in
thc Q and Insurgent ledges. They adjoin
the Lone Pine and Last Chance lodes. A
Spokane company is being formed to operate the properties.
Thc Lone Pine developments are most
favorable for it to become n great mine.
There is certainly a wonderful hody of ore
in sight on the surface, and it is reasonably certain that it will lie found to continue down to a depth of several hundred
feet at least.
There arc no special new features in the
situation nt the San Poil. The ledge hns
not diminished in size nnd the values nre
snid to bc up to their former standard of
excellence. Progress is not rapid in the
drifts, as the rock is still very hard.
Ore shipments from Rossland for the
week ending December 17, 1808, were as
follows: Wnr Eagle, 1050; Le Roi, 705;
and Iron Mnsk, 18—the Le Roi shipping
to Northport; remainder to Trail.
People are coming into Republic at a
apitl rale. The sleighs come in crowded,
and others come on foot and in all possible
ways. It is unfortunate the rush has
begun so soon, as many of those who
come will probably be unable to get work
nnd unless well supplied with money will
have n hard time to pull through the winter.
Zinc ore is still climbing up in price,
passing the $40 notch, the highest in
years.   A few weeks ago it was $34.
The only important paying silver mine
in Colorado is the Commodore, a Crcedc
boiianzn. It hns already this year paid
$300,000 in dividends, and is now paving
$48,000 a month.
An nssny was recently mnde in Rossland, B. C, of nn average sample of 200
pounds of ore from property of the Okanogan Free Gold Mines, and it gave a return of 23.00 ounces, or $472, in gold.
RIVER TO BE TURNED ASIDE,
The Cost Is Kstlmated to be One Hun-
ilred and Thirty-Five Millions—Great
Depth Is Required on the Divide—Kx-
eiiviilli.n for tlie Looks.
New York, Dec. 24.—Tiie preliminary
report of the Nicaraguan canal commission consisting of General Haines, Admiral Walker and Professor liaupt has been
completed and will be read before the
Christmas recess of congress or innmcdi-
ately ufterward. This report will give
many details uf construction in regard to
the proposed route und will give a close
figure on the entire cost of the undertaking as far as human ingenuity can foresee.
A summary of these costs have been
made out in sections and without going
into the details of curves and levels they
are as follows: Eastern harbor and jetties will require about 9,000,000 cubic
yards of soft excavation. The jetties
themselves require about 400,000 cubic
yards of  riprap stone.
The Greytowu section ef the canal, that
is, the suction beginning ut the harbor
and reaching to the east divide, will require 10,000,000 cubic yards of earth and
clay excavation.
The three locks in this section will cost
in the neighborhood of $10,000,000 complete, with three million yards of excavation. This section is about 13J miles
in length and runs through the jungle
country near the coast. There will be
700 acres of clearing and grubbing Also
in this section. The incidental expenses
will amount, to little beside those above
enumerated,  therefore  they  are  omitted.
The Actual Coat.
The divide section reaches from here
through the higher range of hills to 24
miles further. There are 7,500,000 cubic
yards of rock in this cut and about 5,000,-
000 yards of. earth and clay. The depth
of this cut will be regulated by the height
of the canal, which is here 112 feet above
the sea. The actual cutting will be about
200 feet in the deepest part.
From here begins the Ochoa section
which runs through the tsin Francisco basin and Florida lagoon. This is low country and the cutting which will reach to
the Ochoa dam, 34J miles from the Caribbean sea, will only add 10,000,000 yards
to the figures, making a trifle over 40,-
000,000 cubic yards to the dam. From
here a summnry of the cut through the
San Juan river will aggregate 34,000,000
cubic yards with about 5,000,000 more
curve widening and 2000 acres clearing
and grubbing. This will not include any
of the dams or embankments but limply
the channel cutting the bed of the San
Juan river. This makes 75,000,000 cubic
yards of all grades of cutting to Luke
Nicaragua.
The Coat of the Dnm.
The cost of the Ochoa dam upon which
rests the entire feasibility of the route,
has not beeu accurately computed as the
undertaking is of so colossal a nature us
Don't Ulna the Weather.
There is one thing that'does not mind

A REMARKABLE BELT,
Was  Once  the Property of a   Deiul-
nnd-Gonc Indian Prlnceaa.
Miss Winnifred Winn of Ravenswood
has recently come into the possession of a
beautiful belt that hundreds of years ago
was the wedding gift of a Sioux Indian
princess. Later it was captured in a
battle between the Sioux and Chippcwas
nnd wns retaken. Finally the princess
herself was captured nnd she ransomed
herself by giving up the belt and all of
her other possessions. For generations
it has been known as the Indian ransom
belt.
It is a marvelous bit of work nnd connoisseurs who have examined it affirm
that nothing like it can be found in
either thc British or American museums.
The belt is twenty-nine and one-quarter
inches long, two and one-quarter inches
wide and contains 17,550 beads. It would
take an expert Indian worker six months
of continuous work to mnke it.
But skillful fingers nro tinablo to reproduce it now, as the beads are no longer manufactured. They are about the
size of a pin-head and as brilliant asjew-
els. There are nineteen colors and
shades, in blues, reds, pinks, yellows,
browns, salmon, amber, and clear glass,
but the colors are so harmoniously blended thnt the effect is as exquisitely rich as
a Persian pattern.
There are seventeen mosaic designs
running through the centre of the belt,
nnd they are surrounded by milk-white
bends. The edge is etched with a sharp-
pointed pattern, done in lull colors, and
though centuries have passed since it was
fashioned by a mother's loving hand, only three beads are missing.
It was given to Col. Winn last Christmas by an Indian at Fort Williams, Ontario, Canada. He was superintending
the building of nn immense steel elevator
for thc Canadian Pacific railway and, as
the-townspeople objected to his importing skilled labor from the United States,
he employed Indians with the most satisfactory results.
He aroused the Indians' gratitude by
various humane acts and on Christmas
day, as he sat in his office, two young Indians wulked in, and one, Alex McCoy,
Hung a newspaper bundle on his desk.
The other man stood in the doorway and
suid;
"Ugh! There's my Christmas present!" And both tied like naughty children.
One parcel contained the licit and the
other a knife sheath of modern make.
Col. Winn mentioned his gift to an old
fur trader with an Indian wife, and the
squaw said it was the famous Sioux ransom belt, that was worked by the squaw
of a famous Sioux chief for her daughter's wedding present and that the princess priced it above all her earthly possessions. The fame of the marvelous belt
spread into the camp of the Chippewas.
With the fortune of war it changed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hands repeatedly until it finally came into be beyond figuring within a unit ot', lo tlie namlg of McCoy, chief of the Chip-
Tlie
even more. Thc dam will be over 1500
feet in length, its foundation 75 feet be
low the bed of salt in the river bottom
and its rise over 130 feet. As the river
will have to bc turned from its course
during its construction it will be seen
that many details will have to be taken
into consideration for an estimate of its
cost. The San Carlos embankment will
cost several million dollars und the estimates are being made. The cuts in the
shallow part of the lake will aggregate
10,000,000 cubic yards, making a total
of 85,000,000 cubic yards lo the western
division of the canal.
The estimates of the western division
have not been made. They are under the
direction of Admiral Walker's son, V,
\V. O. Walker, and they will amount to
not less than 30,000,000 cubic yards more,
making a total of 110,006^000 cubic yards I ru,nt
of all kinds on excavation to the luirboi
at Brito and allowing 0,000,000 cubic
yards for dredging here, the total estimate- will come to enarly 125,000,000 cubic yards, exclusive of all dams and em
bankments. It will bc seen that $135,000,
000 will be a conservative estimate of the
entire cost of the canal und this allium
agrees with those of General W. Ludlow's report of lsoo.
pewas, who lived on the Pidgeon river.
He gave it to his squaw, who wore it on
state occasions. The young half-breed
who presented it to Col. Winn is a descendant of the old chief, so thc belt became his by the right of succession. As
the belt is too gorgeous to wear and too
valuable to keep at home, Miss Winn
keeps it in a safety deposit vault.
