V _ __ 9 T P FT go J_T e J. JL* Prop. rvWV'W��V/S The V. V. & E. from Midway to Oroville is possibly the most difficult piece of railway, building in the west." Midway has an elevation of 2100 feet above the sea level, Molson at the summit of the mountain is 3703 feet and nine miles below is Oroville only 900 feet. To connect Midway and Oroville with a feasible railway was the arduous task the engineers had to undertake. They have succeeded but not without sharp curves, heavy grades and switchbacks. The railway began to rise / at Midway and continues on an up grade along _Kettle river until Myers creek is reached. The railway continues up Myers creek still ascending and touches ' the international boundary line at McMynn's ranch. A sufficient elevation has been reached at this, point to allow the road to turn northward again to Rock Creek. The slope of this turbulent stream is followed until Baker creek is reached. The road follows Baker creek still climbing to McBride's a distance of about 24 miles by rail from Midway, au an elevation of 3390 feet. Baker creek inconsiderately crosses the. Inter natic hai boundary line near Molson. ;At McBride's there is a slight draw Twh'ichjf - followed, would -.tai-e the road: 'past Gillispie's to Sidley's ranch but' the elevation ,at the summit of this draw is 4100 feet against 3700 feet at Molson. To get down from Molson to Oroville requires a maximum grade of two and a half per cent and maximum curvature. To get down from the 4100 feet summit near Gillespies would practically be an engineering impossibility. Hence legislation was secured permitting the V. V, & Ei to follow Baker creek across the International boundary line to Molson. From Molson the line follows a draw and comes northwest again touching the boundary line at Sidley's. It might have come across the line a second time here as the elevation at Sidley's is about 3500 but the only advantage would be "fo^conie in^rrSidle"j~farfctf and immediately go out again. Sidley would have sold some right. of way to the railway company but no public in terest would have been served to a greater "extent than at present. The whole fight over the V.

Legislation was secured to cross the International boundary line only once and that crossing was made were the physical features of the country forced it. It takes 27 miles of railway to reach- Oroville from Molson, a distance of nine miles as the crow flies. The grade is 2)4 per cent, and the curves are maximum curves, the hillside is zigzaged witb railway lines. Forlunately on the Okanagan slope ��>here wa3 little rock work to do, else this railway would have cost an almost prohibitory amount. AU the grading has been finished and tracklaying is slowly proceeding. .-��� From Oroville through the Similkameen the engineering difficulties\are not so great. The Similkameen river empties into the Okanagan near Oroville and the valley of the river is followed as far,as Princeton, the line re- cros-.inginto Canada near Nighthawk. There is a long tunnel and some heavy rock work near the boundary line, but a good grade is secured all the way. The location of this railway at all points mentioned has been determined by the topography of the country. Nature in its wisdom recognized no international boundary In'. the placing of its mountains and valleys and streams and passes/ Railway builders and railway engineers are governed by human limitations. They must face conditions as they find them. In doing this the individual who wants to sell land for right of way, and who may have ambitions to be the father of a town is sometimes disappointed. It is expected that the track will be laid to Oroville in October. As soon as this is done the work of extending the line through the Similkameen will be actively''prosecuted. Already material for uss as far west as Princeton is'airriviugi-n'Midwaytwitt.'- the 'result that the yard there is badly crowded. Arrangements are being made to secure additional * land Von Jackson's ranch for the purpose of putting' in more tracks to carry the extra cars of material. ' For nearly three weeks past tlie track la3*-ing machine has been at a standstill on the east side of the long trestle which crosses Myers creek. They have plenty.of rails and plenty of ties and a crew which is large enough to allow them to proceed at the rate of about a mile a day, but are held up on account of the lack of stringers for the trestle. While the trestle itself is composed largely of tamarack and native fir, it is desirable that the stringers ~U-e"d~6l_ it"b��W_3e"6f ^the^ grown on the coast. Orders for this were placed a long time ago, but for some reason have not yet been delivered. The material, is expected every day, however, and when it arrives the steel will proceed towards Molson. Between here and the Myers-creek canyon there are three other bridges of considerable size, but they will form no obstruction to the steel gang if there is a sufficient supply of stringers at hand as all the other timbers are installed. Since the above was written we learn that the fir stringer* have arrived and been laid and the steel train is now on this side of Myers creek. A water tank has been erected on the station ground at Thomas' place and a pumping station established at the creek to supply water for the engines. The station grounds there will be used ait a material yard until the track is laid tc Molson. The line is all graded now between Molson and the end of the steel. Pat Hughes finished his contract last Saturday and Burns &. Jordan and Gallagher are all done with the exception of a little ditching, etc. Winters, Parsons & Boomer, whose contract lies west of Molson, will be through about the first of September. - Independent.

ASKS FOR THE ARREST Prominent Californian, Who, With Wife. Is Visiting the Province* (Leased Wire Special to The World) Chicago, 111., Aug. 18.���The police have been notifi ;d that a man thought' to be Paul O. Stensland, the missing president of the Milwaukee avenue bank, has been caught at Midway, B. C. ______ The above telegram, which appeared in the Vancouver World, is a true statement of all thr. facts except that Paul O. Stensland was not arrested. There is a much disappointed man in Midway, however, and-Provincial Constable Darraugh is worrying about a complaint lodged with the attorney general of this province in which he is charged with neglecting his duties as an officer of His Majesty, the-King, in not arresting Paul O. Stensland, a fugitive from justice. A prominent business man in Midway, whose knowledge of all matters, including detective work, is unusually profound, observed a nervous elderly gentleman, accompanied by an attractive lady, in Midway, last week. He immediately came to the conclusion that the elderly gentleman was Paul O. Stensland. He sent an emissary to Spokane to ascertain from the Spokane police if the elderly gentleman in Mid- ���wa^T������iwas---PauH"0.-.** Sfensland7n'7'rhe - Spokane police came to the conclusion that if there was an elderly gentleman in Midway, accompanied by a lady, he must necessarily be Paul O. Stensland. The amateur sleuth so wired his principal at Midway and awarrantwa. issued for his arrest. D. J. Darrough, provincial constable, was ordered to arrest Paul O. Stensland. Darraugh didn't arrest him, and the prominent business man in his wrath immediately wired the attorney general charging D. J. Darraugh with neglect of duty. It sometimes happens that elderly gentlemen who are not defaulting bank managers, and who have wives, some-, times like to visit Southern British Columbia in the good old summer time, Am.ong_these���are=iMr.^_Montgomery,_o___ California. Mr. Montgomery has a wife, some leisure time, is fond of outdoor life, loves fishing, fresh air and mountain scenery. He bid adieu to his home in California, and like a wise man. took his wife with him to enjoy a three months' outing in British Columbia. They enjoyed the hospitality of Nelson, they houseboated at Proctor, they caught some "big uns" at Sloean Junction, and hearing some-- thing of the glories of the Similkameen they decided to go there. In going to the Similkameen they had to go through Midway. They stopped at a hotel, and in doing so they came under the notice of the prominsnt business man, who for many years has been nursing the latent talents of the detective. Had it not bee*' for Joe Darraugh, instead of now enjoying the fishing of the Similkameen, Wlr. Montgomery would be in the Midway jail trying to convince the prominent business man that he is not Paul O. Stensland. NEW CITIZENS. Jno.

He Avant- ed to stump Shatford's constituency and tell the people what a good boy he was and so he asked for an invitation to go there but it tame not. There are some Socialists in the Similkameen, not many it is true, but the few are of a high order of intelligence. It does make some difference to them what" their leaders do. They are not satisfied with loud mouthed demogogic utterances. They carefully watch the acts of their representatives. When J. H. Hawthornwaite voted for the C. & W. land steal, the Socialists of Similkameen were disappointed and indignant. They met aud passed a strong resolution denouncing the perfidy of . J. H. Hawthornthwaite and his desertion of all principles socialistic or otherwise. Notwithstanding this affront Hawthornthwaite wrote the comrades' asking that arrangements be made for meetings to be addressed by himself at central points in the Similkameen. The Socialist organization replied that:, to do so would be considered a Condonation of his acts during last session and this was something the Socialists of Similkameen were particularly anxious not to do. So J. H. Hawthornthwaite carried his fiery cross to Vancouver a much sadder and a wiser man. soual charges against the finance, minister were dismissed, During the campaign' Mr. Fielding spent much time in various parts of the Dominion and but little time_ in his own constituency. The details of campaign work in his constituency were of uecessity left to others. Decent conservatives have always aud will continue to give W. S. Fielding due credit for upright public and private life. During the 30 years he has beeu in public there never has been a suggestion of any act that would not bear the closest scrutiny. This is acknowledged b}T the great majority of the people, of the country irrespective of party lines. Journalistic blackguards of the Nelson Canadian type, do not hesitate to write columns of malicious falsehoods about a statesman who through the ill advised act of an agent must surfer the penalty the- law imposes. The minister of finance cannot be hurt'by the abuse of newspapers of the Cauadian "type. He is too strongly entrenched .in the affections of the people , of Nova Scotia and they and the people of the broad Dominion have too much confidence in him to be influenced by such tactics. It is not however a happy commentary on the honest j' newspaper criti- cisim in this country that a man who stands out as au exemplar of nothing but what is honest aud. upright and straightforward should be assailed in a brutal fashion. IDAHO SHIPS THE WEST'S TUKN ������. Eastern papers are commenting on the fact that the four provinces west of Lake Superior ^tave^uo^representation���on��� the- supreme court bench of Canada and are expressing the opinion that as a vacancy exists a western jurist should receive the appointment. This is a tribute to the immense importance of the west. In the development of the natural resources of the west, British Columbia mines and mining play no important part. This industry has been productive of much litigation as well as increasing wealth and often appeals reach the supreme court of Canada. It is of the utmost importance that at least one member of the supreme court bench should have an intimate knowledge of British Columbia mining laws aud as there appears to be a disposition to give the west representation, it is not unreasonable to suggest that a British Columbia man should be appointed. Chief Justice Hunter and Mr. Justice Duff have both been suggested. Either would be acceptable to the west. No more brilliant men could be found and it is no disparagement to the supreme court of Canada to say that its personnel would in no wa}- be weakened if either of these gentlemen were made a member. HON. MR. FIELDING Hon. W. S. Fielding has been unseated for corrupt practices on the part of an agent. The per- Phornix, Aug. 20���The first ore ever sent out from the Dominion Copper company's Idaho mine in this camp went out today. It consisted of five cars, or about 150 tons, to be. taken by the C.P.R. to the company's Boundary Falls smelter Great activity has prevailed at-the Idaho mine for several mo-iths past, in getting ready for shipments on an extensive scale. The main working shaft has' been sunk and timbered and connected with the workings of the company's Brooklyn mine adjoining, and much development has been clone under ground. In addition to this a long tunnel has been driven, "'largely in ore. which runs under the C.re_.t Northern .spur to the Gninby mines. An open quarry or glorv hole is being opened above this tunnel, the ore to "be dropped tothe tunnel level and taken our economically. There is every judication'of the Idaho yielding a very large tonnage, as it has been known to have a tremendous ore body from the early days of the camp, although never worked to any considerable extent before the present management took hold. The ntitv machinery plant recently ordered by the Dominion Copper company is to be installed at the Id,ho, and will be delivered shortly, including an air compressing plant of 25 drills. The large hoist formerly at the company's Sunset mine, Deadwood camf, has been brought here "also for the Idaho. The machinery will be driven by electric power from the West Kootenay Power & Light company's lines some 75 miles distant. The company is also erecting a number of buildings on the Idaho ground, including warehouse, blacksmith and machine shops, shafthouse, compressor buildings, etc. ; ���AS.' CF* CF* CF* CF* <��.

The Board of Railway Commissioners has ordered that the Cauadian Pacific railway shall nc longer be allowed to discriminate against coast cities in favor of eastern points. The Canadian Pacific railway held that ou account of the additional cost of operation it was justified in charging additional rates through the mountains. These rates practically drove the coast wholesalers out of their own territory. The Canadian Pacific forgot that this province contributed very heavily in assisting the construction of the Canadian Pacific. No perpetual penalty should be imposed upon it when at the outset it paid more than its share. The Board of Railway Commissioners took this position, and the board is right. Discrimination in rates on the part of heavily cash bon- ussed and land granted railway corporation cannot be tolerated in this country. Man is not decadent. Nations aud races may decay in the future as others have in the past. But the human type moves on and upward. Historic times prove that it is the sum of its teachings. Man grows against the storms of his own nature. There is nothing- for which the community is striving now that has not beeu struggled for by other communities iu ages past. It is the habit of one generation to ignore the experience of its predecessors. This is as true of nations as of individuals. Both would save much in energy and pain if they would look backward as well as forward, and behold where and how and why their predecessors failed. It is only the mariner who seems to work by charts. History is the chart of the body politic. All our new abuses are old; aud our reforms were agitated in the past.���Boston Herald.

The Mystic Order of Enak-ops has been organized in Spokane by young men who are pladgedto make the opening night carnival ot the Spokane fait as great a success as possible each year The new order was organized two weeks ago with 60 charter members, including some of the most prominent citizens of Spokane. The ritual is a most novel one and the workings of the order are different from any other. This- is the thirteenth annual fair at Spokane and will last 13 days and this order was organized by 13 men on the 13th of the month and defies all hoodoos and ill omens. The initiation fee and annual dues are ".3 times 13 cents or $169. The membership will be limited to 313. A few invited persons from towns outside of Spokane will be given" the privilege of uniting with the order. It was promoted by officers of the 150,000 Club, which has charge not only of the home industry exposition in connection with the fair, but the opening night parade and fun on September 24.

In a new country people are working daily for the upbuilding of town, city and dis/ trict, and for the improvementof ths con/ ditions under which men and women are called upon to live. Every act of daily life that tends to bettering one's surroundings makes directly or indirectly for the im/ provement of society generally. In all this the local newspaper plays an important part. Among its local readers it stimulates an increasing interest in their home city, keeping them posted on all local happen/ ings, and becomes a welcome weekly messenger, bearing bright and welcome tidings. Afflon? its outside readers it forms a valuable advertising medium making known the merits, advantages and prospects of the city and attracting thither citizens who want employment, business firms looking for locations, and capitalists seeking investments. In the upbuilding of a town, city or district the local paper is an important factor. BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES The Boundary Creek Times aims to do its full and complete share in the upbuild/ ing and improvement of Greenwood and the Boundary district. It is not handi/ capped in its work by any restraining ob/ ligations to any party, clique or corpora/ tion, but it is free at all times to rise up and promote the best interests of the City of Greenwood and its people. To do this most thoroughly and satisfactorily the Times must have the support and coopera/ tion of the citizens of Greenwood. Every effort is being put forth to make the Times the class of newspaper the people want. Increasing attention is being continually paid to mining news, especi/ ally of that nature that will interest those employed in the work as well as those whose capital is invested in the properties. With this end in view we aim to have A Subscriber in Every Home j =3 =3 3 ��*_ As a result of the efforts that have already IS been put forth, we believe that an increas/ g~- interest is already being taken; in its news IE columns, We have evidences of this from |��r the fact that the subscripiion list is already \ __-3 growing? the street sales are increasing "���~ �� ' weekly and the news dealers find more ^- demand for each succeeding issue, This is S~ a satisfactory condition of affairs that acts ^ in two ways.

Evans Tells Something About Geology of llHAT FAMOUS DISTRICT .Character of Mineral Bearinsr Rocks on Kennedy and Otlier Mountains. That valuable deposits of copper has been found 'in,the Similkameen district and that to a.limited extent the con- editions of occurrences are but iiu- ,'perfectly understood admit of little ..doubt. This condition of mining-ex 7ploration, however, is not limited to ,jthe field under consideration. It is a ^condition that, belongs, to the early ;istage of mineral exploration and it 'disappears' as soon as an impetus is given to the mineral industry by the .jegritniate demands of the trade. It is jimly when ihe "Captains of luclustry" .determine that additional territory ,_iust be explored and if found to possess mineral of commercial value, that a proper stimulus to the industry is g-iven. Therefore, the genuine stimulus to the mineral industry is hot wild speculation or the gambler's estimate of mining, but the true progress that is due to legitimate effort which is the result of the men table law that gov .erns supply and demand. Prom a superficial geological point of view British Columbia has been explored and mapped,b'itt from an economic, .mining point of view the province has only begun its industrial energy. Conducted 'by a, higher order of intelligence���the result of modern methods and exberiehce, the mining industry of ;the great "pctrographic province'' will be carried on . as it is in other states of the world at the present .day,���states^ not mbre'*rifchly endowed ,with mineral, resources than British ^Columbia, but the work on the 'A hole . Has been carried bii with better judgment than it appears to have been conducted in the, Pacific province. This .phrase has often' been the them of critics���far and near���-and it is not necessary to dwell upon it now in the light of recent improvements and corresponding prosperity, A portion of,the Cascade region that- has hitherto been only referred to as possessing great potentali.es is the ��� Similkameen district, which on ac- . count of its isolation from the continental railway system has been compelled to await the advent of this absolutely necessary factor in mining exploitation.

It was achieved in the name of Progress and yras supported by the traveler and the tourist as well as bv others, to say nothing of that great law of Euclid, .Viz: That* the shortest distance between two points is the straight line that joins them. Thus, the opening up of the Similkameen country has begun and railway "construction is not a creature of the imagination but it is a visible fact��� construction work being in actual progress. Thus the fact is accentuated that railway communication and mineral de- development are interchaugable terms. Among othei valuable mineral deposits iu the Similkameen division .known to prospectors, explorers and others, are certain deposits of copper \. htch appear to possess defined strati- graphical relations are the copper de- Vposits of Aspen Grove, those of "Five Mile," on Eschelon mountain and those on Copper and Kennedy mountains on the South Fork of the Similkameen. There is, I find, a prejudice against copper carbonates, whether blue or green, it makes no difference. This prejudice is shared iu by the learne< I scientist from the class room as well as by the rustler from "Khati:- dyohi." Copper carbonates are designated by some engineers as stains, as if the rock in which they are found is cultus, and should be shunned by the .prospector. This is only another sample of prejudice that we meet iu the mountains and in great centers of pop- ��� ulation. Copper __.r-_u_.tes are .simply ��� the decomposed material of former sulphides���the residual of these. They axe secondary minerals and result from the decomposition of the sulphides. They are sometimes . referred to as ''stains," and this reference is made as if the "stains" were very disgraceful. The word stain isii objectionable, as it leads to misconception. A carbonate is an oxide���tlie oxidation product of a sulphide. It is au ���. ore, and not a stain. Its presence, of course, does not always indicate a sulphide zone, but its presence on great surfaces .and throughout an old sedimentary formation is very likely to lead to a *'bary- sphere" or Sulphide zone, assuming that stratigr.aphical relations have not been greatly faulted, interrupted or entirely destroyed, or unless the sediments are mere roots ih the first place, resting on granite or . older igneous rocks. A good deal of preliminary work has been done in the Aspen, Grove area, and the same may be said of Copper and Kennedy mountains, The work done oh the* other areas "One Mile" and "Five Mile," Eschelon, is of a superficial character. As investigation proceeds much more definite information as to the occurrence of copper in the Aspen Grpye-Similkameen belt becomes available to explorers and capitalists, and it would not be a matte f=of "s u r pr is e~ socfh" to" fit fdr t h a r" t he Similkameen copper areas can be definitely correlated with the Nicola and Guichon creek areas ano even farther in that direction. The capitalist is eager for reliable information but the system of furnishing it is necessariiv slow, but it will be improved with the advance of the railway and the mineral industry itself. Recent investigations made ou what is known as Eschelon mountain, situated between Five Mile creek and the Similkameen river, main branch, prove the occurrence of copper in various forms, but chiefly as chalcopyrite or some oxidation product thereof, in old calcareous sediments associated with which are volcanics, both of which are of pr--cretaceous date. The sediments and volcanics are cut by dykes of quartz, porphyry or some variation from it. The sediments atid volcanics are wedged uetween vi<?,tite granite which are inttusive of the copper bearing rock and the volcanics. They have an age subsequent to the Trassic and antecedent to the cretacious. Esepelon mountain has an east west trend aud the strike of lhe copper rocks is north-south, so that thev cross the Similkameen where, I am informed by Mr. Robert Stevenson, who lias given some attention lo the subject, they can be traced along their strike -br a number of miles. Eschion has a vertical height ef about five-eights of a kilometer (about 2,050 feet). This measurement is to the top of the rounded summit. The slant height measurement to the edges of the lower slopes is about one-half of kilometer or 1,640 feet The residual sulphides now oxidized into carbonates, blue and green of different shades as well as other forms, present great surfaces of carbonates. These run through the point and l;.m ina.ted planes of the sediment and are intermixed with sulphides. On the top, where work has been done, . the sulphides appear to be overcoming the carbonates at 40 fset from the surface. Arurite, or blue carbonates, occur in great qttantilies in ;t claim named the Blue Ridge. Assays of oxidized and sulphidei ores vary from 6 to 22 per cent iron large, and magnesium medium. Negotiations with niining capi talists are believed to be going on with the view of bonding- the principal group oti Eschelon mountain. Horace F. Evans.

The result is that all government records of Franklin camp properties kept at Grand Forks are in a sense illegal, It it also understood that a local syndicate is about to construct a twelve mile trail up Bowman creek trom the Arrow lakes to the townsite of Franklin, which is in the heart of the district. By means of this trail Nelson could be made the main supply point for this camp. It is rumored that a reorganization of the board of trade will take place at once so that proper representation can be made to the government to endeavor to save for Grand Forks the most important mining camp in southern British Columbia. (Special to the Oatly News.) Rossland, Aug. 22.���-John Kirkup, gold commissioner for the Trail Creek division, was interviewed today by the correspondent of the Daily News with reference tothe rumor that Franklin camp was properly located in West. Kootenay and not in Yale. Mr. Kirkup smiled broadly when the matter was mentioned to him "When I was over in the Boundary the other day," said he. "I jokingly remarked in the presence of a correspondent named Johnson that Franklin camp was in West Kootenay and not in Yale, arid to prove my assertion I got a foot rule and showed by measurement on one of the maps that: he camp was within ten miles of the lower Arrow lake. The dividing line separating the two districts is a line running parallel with the Arrow lake and ten miles from the lake. As a fact Franklin camp is well within the ten-mile limit.. The camp, however, is also well on the western slope of the range that marks off the mining division and no possible question can arise on that score, so the Grand Forks people have no reason to get excited over the matter, or to imagine that any question of the legality of records is involved. Everyone who was present when the conversation referred to took place must have under stood that I was joking." BILEANS CURED MAN, AND WIFE Kidney Disease and sick Headache Soon Banished.

" * POST OFFICE DESTROYED Boundary Iron Works at Grand Forks Are Completely Gutted.��� Loss $15,000. The post office, Haiti & Co.'s store and the townsite ofiice at Midway were completely destroyed by fire on Saturday morning- last. The fire was of incendiary origin. A"burgalr evidently blew open the post office safe earlier in the night and probably the blankets which he used to deaden the sound caught fire from the explosion. Residents in the vjcinity were awakened about 2:30 Saturday morning by a terrific explosion. An hour later James Bush the blacksmith saw the.flames and gave the alarm but nothing could be done to save the buildings. Haiti & Co. are the heaviest losers. Then- stock amounting- to some ��6,000 was insured for only $2,000 and in addition they owned one of the store buildings. The post office building was owned by Mrs. Munroe. Insurance 5500. The day previous lo the fire Italian laborers, from the railway had sent away considerable money and it is supposed that the burglar knew litis and thought he could find the amount in the post ofHce safe. Fortunately Postmaster Haiti had deposited the amoaul' late Friday afternoon aud all the burglar received was a. few dollars and some postage stamps. A well known criminal who some years ago operated on both sides of the line and who had recently been working in the railway camp was seen in Midway the day previous to the fire. Postmaster Hain has reopened the post office in the building adjoining McRae Bros. & Smith's store. It is is not likely that Hain & Co. will resume business. major portion of the patterns were kept in ati adjoining building, and were saved, although a. number of them were in the works at the time, the fire broke out, anl. these were also destroyed, Manager Director Chas. Brown states that the loss was about��15,000 There was only ��7,000 insurance on the plant. Seen by a Sun reporter, Mr. Brown stated that he was unable to give any definite information as to the future plans of the company, He intimated, however, thai it was quite probable that the plant would be rebuilt, but as to its location he was uncertain. A great deal <vould probably depend on tlie nature of the* guarantee they obtained from the city council regarding city water and power. ���The Sun. The hottest and most disastrous fire of the season in Grand Fork- occurrel at the Boundary Iron Works, in the Ruckle addition, at 7 o'clock last Friday evening. The fire brigade responded promptly to the alarm, but owing to the distance to the scene of the conflagration, the fire had gained such headway that it was found impossible to save the works, and they, together with John Hutchinson's dwelling, adjoining, were burned to the ground.

Important developments are looked for in connection with the operation of the Nickel Plat _ and other properties of the Daly Reduction Co. and Yale Mining <Co.', and the impression thst it is something altogether out of the ordinary is heightened by the amount of reticence that is maintained concerning events that are transpiring. Following the examination of the properties niade by Walter Harvey Wt:ed a few weeks ago, another contingent of noted mining experts who are understood tobe acting in the interests of their principals in New York and Butte, came in by special rig from Midway on Thursday last and proceeded directl}* to the mine, where they have taken up their temporary abode iu one of the cottages belonging to the company, and are now engaged in making, a thorough examination and sampling of ihe mine. The work is being done with such a degree of thoroughness* that evidently the preparation of a report most minute in its details is contemplated; and while all attempt at obtaining information is most carefully headed off _t all points, ll.il^seauloWTha'iii teirahc-^oP-ecrecy' serves only to accentuate in a greater, degree the impression that negotiations of far reaching importance ar_ in active progress.- It is well known that during the winter and early spring offers were made to purchase the property fora sum which was'represented as being something over four millions. It is also known, that the Daly estate dis posed of a mining property at Butte this year, an 1 that since, the death of the late Marcus Daly, whose wonderful success as a mine operator made mining an attractive avenue of investment, the management of the estate with less familiarity with or genius for mining, appear now to be more or less Iiandi capped in conducting operations in their mines, and find other classes of industrials more to their iiking. While these circumstances lend color to the assumption that these samplings and examinations point to a probable sale, they may also b'-* considered due lo the prudent caution which the own ers may be taking before deciding ot} some definite scheme for extension of the works.���Hedlev Gazette.
