Kirkup and Lew Thomson have ' left for England to interest capital in their placer properties in the Big Bend. Senator Clark says the reported over supply of copper is all moonshine, and wagers that 500 tons of copper for immediate delivery could not be bought on the New York market tomorrow. Several papers say the reason for the slump in copper is on account of the Rothchilds and Amalgamated Copper rings combining to squeeze out other holders.

The main shaft is down 500 feet and drifts on the different levels to the extent of 4,000 feet, have shown a large quantity of ore. Since the first of the year the shaft has been sunk 120 feet with the happy result of proving the ore at that depth to be of a higher grade than at either of the upper levels. Stations have been made at three levels, and all is in readiness to supply the mill with ore, as soon as the erection of the large rock breaker is completed. It was necessary in order to get the foundation for the rock breaker to take away the dump . which occupied the firound required, and for the past few weeks the stamp mill has been running on the dump with highly satisfactory results. At the first of the year all the work of construction was completed and it is reasonable to suppose that the work of extraction and development will go on indefinitely, as the quantity of ore in sight is very considerable. In this case, being a comparatively low grade proposition, the princi- pal-.question is of cheap extraction and treatment ofthe ore. Over i.ooo'ions of | dump ore has been treated at the mill, which has proved that the ore is of such a friable nature that over the average can be handled by the stamps. It has also proved that the mill is perfectly adapted for the work. In addition to the extraction of ore f< the mill, the corporation will, continr the work of development, and shortly shaft is to be sunk vertically on mill or bin, after passing throngh the crusher, which will be placed at the head of the shaft. This plan is being followed upon the advice ofthe Provincial mineralogist, Mr. Robertson, and it is expected will reduce the cost of extraction to a very low point. The corporation owns several other promising properties, but 110 work is being done on them at present, with the'exception of the coal measures, situated 10 miles from Fairview, which are being worked in a small way in order to supply the the ie ground has been cleared bins erected at the hoist, and few days the mill will be supp from the mine.

Mr. Aldridge says that all of the metal markets have l*een most unsatisfactory to the mines, smelters and refineries. The fall in lead and silver has affected the receipts of | some of the Kootenay lead-silv mines to the extent of $600,000 a nually, comparing the quotations for these metals in January last with those at the present time. ,The smelters have also.lost heavily in buying and selling on a falling market, it requiring an average of from four to five months for the smelters to realize upon metals purchased from the time the ore has been brought trom the mines. The decline in metal prices since the beginning of the year has been approximately, as follows : Copper from ^^x^ cents to \2% cents per pound; London lead from ^18 sterling to .£10 sterling, and silver from 62 cents to 54 cents per ounce. MICHIGAN MINES. Mines and Mineral Statistics of | the State of Michigan, just published, gives the production of refined copper of Michigan mines in the year 1900 as 142,576,313 pounds During the preceeding three years the production was as follows :— 146,950,338 pounds in 1899, 147,- 965,739 pounds in 1898, and 142,- 702,586 pounds in 1897.
