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 HOLIDAY _WEEK.

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. A new rur-nn) h»» hann driven below 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 support.

I ■ THE SILVERTONIAN, R, 0. and Harry Matheson, Editors BILVERTON, B.C. AT THE CAPITAL OF THE CZAR. NEARLY A MILLION A MONTH. 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." THE PEACE TREATY DELIVERED It Was Handed to the President by the American Commission—Ceremony Was Quiet and Short—Short Speech by Mr. Day—Homeward Bound. 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 her own hats and bonnets, and go around looking like a guy; yes, I would I And when you've answered these questions I shall want to know why " And as Jawhim fled from the table she called out shrilly: "I want to know if you are coming back here to eat your supper? I want to know that!" WASHINGTOiV. Okanogan county has an area of 30,000 square miles of fruit, grain and mining territory. There are nearly 200 students in Whitman college, including those of the conservatory. A depot building will be erected at Ritzville during next summer and will be fitted with all modern conveniences. The government telegraph office at Pysht will be removed next month to Twin rivers and there located permanently. The office of the state dairy commission has been moved to Seattle. Commissioner McDonald has already established his headquarters. The Kettle river stage line will soon inaugurate a daily stage service between Greenwood and Cascade, taking in the new town of Niagara. The glee and mandolin clubs of the Washington agricultural college gave their third annual entertainment in the college auditorium last week before a large audience. The club will start on its tour of the state during the first week in January. Right-of-way deeds from the following persons to the Snake River Valley Railroad Company have been filed for record in Walla Walla: William Yeend and wife, $50; Joseph Davin et al., $150; Hip- polyte Davin and wife, $100. Supt. E. B. Hyde, of the forestry reserve, has been instructed from Washington City to remove his headquarters from Spokane to Everett. The depart- :ii"nt, believes that the service will be the betic*' rendered from western Washington. A bulletin on "Alkali Soils" is soon to be issued from the division of agricultural soils of the state agricultural college. This bulletin is of special interest to irrigated sections of the state. All persons desiring thc same should send their names at once to Prof. Elton Fulmer, Pullman, Wash. Another trial will be made this year to have a state wagon road established and constructed from Lyle, in Klickitat county, to some point in Clarke county, via Stevenson. A bill .ordering this road constructed was passed at the last session of the legislature, but was vetoed by Gov. Rogers. The board of control of the Spokane fruit fair in anticipation of next season's exhibit has let a contract for the making of a big circus tent. It will be 100 feet wide by 350 feet long; an entrance tent 50 feet wide by 150 feet long; an annex tent 00 by 120 feet in size. The entire contract including poles and ropes will cost $4,100. As a result of the November examinations for teachers in the various counties of the state 411 certificates have been issued from the state superintendent's office out of a total of 652 applicants. Of the 411 certificates issued, 334 were upon examination, 13 were renewals, 64 issued upon normal diplomas, life diplomas and state certificates. The Gale tract, lying on the south bank of the Puyallup river, next to the Indian reservation line, has been sold on a mortgage execution to A. M. Gale, the mortgagee. This land was taken up by Gale years ago, and sold by him to the Tacoma Land Company in 1889 for $76,000. A mortgage of $40,000 was given as part of the consideration, and the land now goes back to the original owner. J. D. Miller and son have been spending a week at Kettle Falls, looking over the Lower Columbia river valley ai far as Fort Spokane, with a view of removing one of their Kootenai river boats for use in the spring. They say a large trade can be furnished from the surrounding farm- :ng country and the new mines down the 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. TRADB NOTES. A 640-pound hog was sold at Ellensburg last week. Nooksack, Wash., is making arrangements to establish a co-operative creamery. The Puget Sound Flouring Mill at Tacoma has resumed operations, after a temporary shut-down. William Cannon, living on the Entiat, hos sold $700 worth of fruit this year from a four-year-old orchard. Fruit growers in Clarke county, Washington, are investing extensively in spraying apparatus for next season's work. Jacob Kinman, of Starbuck, has sold 800 feet of right of way through his place to tlie O. R. k N. He received $1 per foot. The Whitman County Poultry and Pet Stock Association is arranging to hold a poultry show in Colfax, January 19, 20 and 21, 1899. There will be turned into the Columbia this season from hatcheries in Oregon and Washington at least 30,000,000 young salmon. Fruit Inspector Brown, for King county, condemned over 150 boxes of apples shipped from Olympia this week, badly infected with the codling moth. Stock on the range in the Lick Fork section is not in extra good order. Fall rains were too light to do much good and 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. The Blalock Fruit Company, of Walla Walla, on Tuesday shipped seven carloads of dried prunes from that city to Chicago. This is the largest single shipment of fruit ever made from this valley. At least 76 per cent more apples have been shipped to the eastern markets through Spokane during the fall than ever before. The fruit growers of eastern Washington have opened up a wonderful trade in apples, and one that promises to increase every year. L. A. Porter, of Lewiston, Idaho, has 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. The report of the Oregon flsh commissioner shows that for the .fiscal year 1897 and 1898 there were a total of 16,914,512 of Chinook salmon fry planted in the waters of the state. For the year 1898 a total of 17,826,000 eggs were taken or supplied for the various hatcheries. The Northwestern Railway Company has began grading for the road to the Seven Devils country. It starts from Huntington, and follows the Snake river, the distance being 83 miles. For the first 10 miles there will be some tunneling and rock work, but after that the work will be easy. About 40 men are now em- ployed. . NEWS OF THE WORLD IN BRIEF An Interesting Collection of Items from the Two Hemispheres Presented In a Coudeused Form—Culled from the T-l- elgraph Reports.

The janitor discovered the doors of the vault open, When the inner doors were opened it was found 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 six days thia government will assume ,. , i,,.s Ki».rinineiii. win assume that all the gold and paper money in I control in Cuba, and it is desired that the the bank had been carried away, although sacks of silver money were untouched.

Carlist agitation continues in several of "ie northern provinces and a number of agitators have been arrested at Mor- ella, owing to Carlist demonstrations. 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."

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. Unite nml Iloston Smelter. The Hutte & Hoston smelter additions n,c of a mott extensive chnriictcr, com- prising a large coiivertor plant, 282x72 feet with an nnncN 57-W. dust chamber with slack IM feet high. I'"'''1'1' llo,,sl> n*"1 boiler room, and clay h"use. The plant when completed will give the Hutte _ Iloston smelter n very good comparison with t'"' "lll(''' l-itltuttona "f ,lmt k*ml |,en The new coiivertor plant will have ,|_ eonvcitois and one forty ton and two ven nnd one half ton caninges. The Mammoth will have an air com pressor to furnish power to drive its lower tunnel as soon as it can be got in position. The boiler ia already on the ground 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 tihe weather, and that is rheumatism; and one thing that does not mind rheumatism is St. Jacob's Oil, as it goes to work upon it and cures right off. 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. tea sold only in ; Packages "This thing of being engaged to half a dozen girls isn't what it's cracked up to be, this time of year."
