One of the most economically inna^cd mines in tlie Hound- iy country appears to be 10 Oro Denoro in Summit nip. Smith Curtis, the mailing director of the Denoro inns, Ltd., that owns and is iting the group was at. thf [ino tliis week, previous to gull; to the coast, and made the nUiineiit that the ore of the o Denoro is being gotten out (I loaded on the railway dump rs nt a cost not exceeding 40 its per ton. This lias been adored possible largely since ic installation of the oompres* i', which has now been work> IK some weeks in a most sut- actory manner. At present the Oro Denoro tput is about 150 tons per y, which will probably be iiiintainetl all winter, unless ino unforeseen contingencies rise. The output is all sent to c Montreal & Boston Copper i's smelter at Boundary Falls, 'I. according to the contract mile, some of it runs so high iron, that it has actually t3U treated at the smelter at • cost whatever to the mine anagement. I P to a short time ago, since ie resumption of operations on he Oro Denoro, the work has B^n confined to the stripping ■ tlie surface near wliere the re was exposed by the railway titles, where the Phoenix ranch of the C.

B, miles in a direct line from the famous Phoenix copper-gold camp. The property was Iqcat- etreight years ago by William Corbett, who later obtained a crown grant. Mr. Corbett dug a great many prospect pits and trenches showing ore over acres of the claim so that it. was of ten spoken of as a mountain of ore and has always been counted on to make a mine. A thousand feet of tunnel and shaft work has been done on the property. In January last Smith Curtis was instrumental in organizing the Denoro Mines, Ltd., of which he is managing director. This company acquired the Oro Den- oroand intheiniddleof April last six men under the superintendence of B. H. Anderson (now superintendent of the Le Boi, at Bossland) began development work. Three ledges which were known to intersect tho C. P. B. line, that crosses the property wero attacked and stripped of earth and rock capping with a view to shipping by quarrying tlio ore. In a few weeks tens of thousands of tons of pay ore wore exposed. After $1000 bad been spent the property was able to take care. of itself, one of tho rare cases where a large low grade property would pay from the grass roots. Subsequently a contract was made with the Boundary Fulls smelter which is claimed to be the most favorable rate ever given to any mine in the province, tho rate being on a sliding scale downward, according to the excess of iron. The ore is also rich in lime so that it is not only self-fluxing but is capable of fluxing n largo proportion of silicious ore. The excellence of the Oro Denero ore will be apparent when compared with the self-fluxing ore of the Granby company at Phoenix, tho actual net cost of smelting which that company states to be $1.35 per ton. As the smelter i.s doubtless making a gootl profit on its contract for the Denoro ore by using it to flux other ores for which it would otherwise at oonsider- Ml,|0 (.„st havo to buy iron and lime to Mux them, these being flfrnotpry t>|es i°T whieh the smelter and ore is now going' A ^p TPI-I C out at the rate of 150 tons a day, | ** * I I I C which will be maintained during the winter. The ore bodies of the Oro Denoro cutting as they do up and down the hill are as easily quarried as any in the world. For a great many years to come no hoisting or expensive machinery will be needed, With the cheapest qiMfy , uig 3 and the lowest treatment eharg- es and with excellent pay values it should not be long before the Oro Denoro becomes a dividend payer. Copper mines have always been an attractive investment because as a rule they are more permanent than other mines and pay larger dividends. The Bio Tinto copper mine in Spain has been worked over2000 years and is still the largest producer of that metal in the world. Taking tbe present working mines of the United States that have paid over $5,000,000 iu dividends, it will be found that seven of them ai*e copper mines that have paitl $153,000,000 profits of an average of $23,300,000 and Hve of them are gold, silver and lead mines that have paid $41,- 800,000, or an average of $8,000,- 000. Altogether too much emphasis has been laid upon the Boundary copper ores lieing low grade. The contained metal values tire less than in many other mining districts, but the costs of mining aim sweltinj., ure also very niu'h less. Tbe expression therefore should be a relative term. In fact all the big dividend-paying mines of world with very few exceptions, whether gold, silver, copper, iron or coal make a profit of but $J or $2 per ton and many of them a less profit, but their big inexhaustible tonnage counts. No one thinks of calling the Butte copper camp a low grade one, yet $10, $12 and $13 ores owing to their refractoriness and to expensive deep mining aro not so valuable as MINES that, of course, was sorted ore, j pressed it. "If the Hendryx hut it is thought that which is; system could handle that stuff being taken out,-now will go at| successfully, it could deal with least$30 to the ton,and as itcan be mined and treated for $15, there should be a good profit in Boderiek Dim ore. Work on the property will be continued throughout the winter. The Emma. At the Emma mine, Summit camp, ore is to be shipped from the south side of the claim, on the B. C. mine spur, a small steam hoist having been placed therefor that purposo. Blue Jay. It is understood that the Blue Jay, in Skylark camp, will bo worked again. It is one of the original locations in that catnp. Wauconda Will Resume Work. The Wauconda mine will resume operations within a month and possibly within the next ten days. One or more of the ledges cut by the big tunnel will be drifted upon for some distance. An effort will be made to fully determine the value of the property. If tliere is a good pay shoot in the mine tho officers are determined to know it beyond the possibility of question. The lust six months the mine was operated the management could not have been worse and to this is attributed the failure and shutdown. $5 to $8 tires iu the Boundary, I smeller < ,.——— rate, there should be no re cost for smelting Oro Denoro ore but a bonus ■» 't. SI,'P- nii charges a high smelting eal n|M began in the middle of ps£aB£»e-«.=a and be it known that tliere are but four of tho large mines in Butte that make on their ore a larger profit per ttm than is made by the Boundary copper mines, and two of these four at most make only a few cents per ton moro profit. For instance, the big Anaconda mines, capitalized at $30,000,000, and which havo paitl $23,000,000 iu dividends, made for the year ending 1st June, 1903, $1,002,000 profit on 907,227 tons of ore or $1.78 per ton, but this includes profit on smelting, converting and refining, all of which are done by the Anaconda company. Hud it to send its ore to reduction works and pay our extra freight rato on its metals to the New York market, its profits would be loss thin $1 pjt* ton of ore Other Butte dividend payers made during tho yoar a profit of 90 cents, 83 cents nnd 18 cents por ton on thoir ores respectively. Mi'. Walker recently in the Boston Commercial figured that the big Boundary mine owned by the Granby conipany , can make $1.80 profit per ton of ore. Altogether the outlook for the success of lho Oro Denoro is very bright indeed. The action of the management in procuring at every stop the highest and best expert lidvice is mos commendable, antl if followed by other companies in the initial stages of development of Evening Star. The crew on the Evening Star, in Wellington camp, has been increased, ami test shipments will be made to tbe smelter OveFflietfew wagon roan n. eently built. J. K. and B. S. Fraser recently bonded the group to Michigan capitalists, who also have the bond on the Volcanic group. Snowshoe. Owing to the derailing of a car near the Snowshoe last Saturday, no shipments were sent out from Phoenix camp that camp that day, but the next day the shipments were unusually heavy. The regular quota from the Granby mines is now (il cars, or 2,000 tons per day. The Snowshoe mine cannot ship to the limit of its capacity as j lnofiern the smelter is unable to Imdle' its entire output. Sunset. After a short cessation of shipments the Sunset mine, in Deadwood camp, is once more sending dii-vn i.s ore to the company's smelter at Boundary Falls. Don Pedro. This week II. II. Shallenber- ger made a rich strike on the Don Pedro claim which adjoins the Strathniore and is situated close to Greenwootl. The leatl is about two feet in width and the pay shoot which is from four to eight inches, runs 400 ozs. of silver to tlm ton, besides carrying some gold values. Roderick Dhu. At the Boderiek Dhu throe carloads of ore aro sacked ami awaiting sufficient snow to haul it to the railway siding for shipment to the suiolter. Work is now confined to taking out moro ore. This is one of the few Boundary properties that has practically paid from the grass roots, there only being] ubout a foot of wash over tht their mines would result in |edgo.

The stockholders of the Bo- public Consolidated Gold Mining company, which owns the Bepublic mine, have adopted a resolution to assign all the property to Secretary W. G. V. Lap- skil for the benefit of the credi ors. The papers of assignment have been prepared and only lack the formality of signatures to be complete. Thev will probably oe execmeu sotm nun filed for record. Attorney W. J. 0. Wakefield, representing the company, in referring to the matter said: "With some changes the. Bepublic mill could be arranged for the installation of the Hendryx system. I expect such a plan wiil be carried out. If there is no ore from the republic mine to treat, there is plenty of ore from other mines in that camp," The mill was the property pf ihe Bepublic Power & Cyanid- ing company. It is said to bo one of the best constructed mills in the west. Everything about the plant is of the most construction. Even the ore cars have axles with ball bearings. The mill antl equipment is said to represent an outlay of nearly $500,000. but it failed to work successfully. The mill company made a common law assignment of all its property to Mr. Lanskil about eight months ago. He was the secretary of both that company and of the mining company. The milling pioperty includes the plant, water rights, etc. Tho debts of the milling company are said to be between $200,000 and $300,000, and the debts of the mining company are about $200,0(10. There is little hope that anything will be left to the stockholders of eithei company after the debts aro paitl by the assignee. Hendryx Process for Kootenay. The problem of handling the low grade refractory iron ore from the Kootenay mine at Bossland has apparently boon solved in tests of it mude here with the Hendryx process of ey- aniding, suys the Spokesman Review. C. M. Fassett, who has been conducting the experiments, said last night: "We have completed four runs ol ore which comprised the most refractory product lhat Mine Manager William Thompson could se I time ago returned $195 per ton, 'cure,' As Mr. Thompson ex any ore in the mine. I do uot feel at liberty to give figures,, but I can only say that the results showed a handsome saving. The cost of reducing it should not be greater than for handling Bepublic ore. The Kootenay ore crushes easily, and Uie high percentage of iron - composing nearly half of the rock—does not seem to consume the cyanide unduly or to interfere with the precipitation of the metals." As Mr. Fassett has expressed the belief that Bepublic ores can be treated for $1.50 a ton, it would appear that the cast of reducing Kootenay ores by the same proce.su would bo well within that margin. The living in freight, and smelter charges under the present system of reducing tlie ores pn m- ises to be the factor that will put the Kootenay on a paying basis. It has an enormous tonnage of low grade iron ore, running from $5 to $10, that ca.n hardly be handled under existing conditions. Cheaper Coal is Bound to Ccir.e. (.'heap coal, the great need i'i: this western country, is bound to come in a few years, according to all present indications. More coal mines havo reached the shipping stage in the northwest this year than any other year in the history of this coun- r.i'y, aim crre otnljjub <-Bf;iZ^moh hundreds of carloads daily. There is more coal in Albert i and British Columbia than is buried in tho Allegheuies, and it is only a matter of time before so much or it will be on the market that the price will lie hammered low enough to meet the ordinary needs of commerce and the manufactures. The greatest fields of the world are between the Kooky mountains and the coast, the Crow's Nest L'ass fields, covering hundreds of square miles, has possibly the finest bituminous coal on the continent and in inexhaustible quantities. J. J. Hill, who is largely interested in these fields, has declared the deposit to constitute the greatest known fields in the world. There may be something to compare with it in the frozen depths of Siberian soil, but the secrets of that remote region are still locked in ils embrace. The Crow's Ncs! fields are reached by two rail roads the Great Northern and the Canadian I'acilic. Coke for the. Granby, Greenwood, Boundary Falls, Trail and Northport. smelters, comes from the Crow's Nest Pass fields and it is the finest iu tlie world under all tests that have been made. Those deposits are located in East Kootenay. The big shipping mines are at Morrissey, with an output of 1000 tous a day and 250 coko ovens; Fernie, 10(H) tons a day and 112 coke ovens, and Michel, 1000 tons a day. 250 coke ovens completed and 2(H) building. The combined coke output is about 700 tons a day. These deposits are bituminous, testing nearly as high in carbon as aulhracile Another Granby Iniproveinenl.

Duff Stuart, tho t:u—■ candidate iu the late election, if correctly reported, states as a reason for his defeat that the Liberals were not half as well i organized as the Conservatives. If not, why notP Tho district of which the city of Vancouver is a part has been represented by a Liberal in the Commons since 1896. Joseph Martin was at the head of the poll in the local election held in 1900. For gome reason the Liberal ticket made a poor fight at the general elections held on October third last. There has been sufficient time since to do a good deal towards perfecting the organization of a party presumably fairly well orgauized before that date. It is strange that any party in Vancouver or any other city would allow themselves to become disorganized; it is oven more strunge that the party went into the last general election without a leader. One would us soon expect to hear of any army going to battle without a general, or a ship to sea without a captain, as to hoar of a political party going to the general elections without a leader. There was every reason why a leader should have been selected under the circumstances. Joseph Martin on account of opposition to him within the Liberal ranks resigned the leadership shortly before the election. The Liberal councillors should have advised the appointment of a successor ' to Mr. Martin. Their failure to do so permitted Mr. McBride and his followers to state upon every platform in the province that Mr. Martin's ^retirement was only temporary, that if the Liberal j party were successful he would again assume the leadership. No unpredujiced person can come to any other conclusion than that the signal defeat of the Liberals in the general election and the recent bye- election was due to the fact -- w nun xaj UIO tact "You pay your money and you that the city of Vancouver con- take your choice," tains too many Conservatives. gossip.

Sie We wish every dairy farmer In the land could possess and read the year book of tho United States department of agriculture for 1902, says Hoard's Dairyman. On page 145 Is a chapter devoted to "Dairying at Home ■ and , Abroad." written by Major Henry E. AlvortI, chief of dairy division. Major Alvord spent a number of months ln the summer of 1001 in Investigating tbe dairy conditions and practices of the lending dairy sections of Europe. Hlf conclusions are bused on a sound, practical knowledge of the best practice In America, and he draws some very instructive judgments from what he saw und studied. On tbe question of dairy entile he says: "Dairy cuttle constitute the foundation and oil Important factor of the Industry." How docs this comport with the ideas of thousands of dnlry farmers in the United States who think that beef blood, dual purpose blood, any and all sorts nf blood, Is good enough with them for a "foundation?" Ue further says: "Wc have no dairy, cattle of our own tn America. We have* adopted those original nl In nnd brought from other countries, Even ow 'native' or 'common' stock or 'scrubs' are but mongrels of another continent. It la Impossible to estimate the debt of the dairy farmers of this country to the breeders of Ayrshlres and Guernseys and Holsteln* Krieslnns and Jerseys In their native lu nds, These nre the four races of cattle upon which mainly rest the present and future prosperity and progress of dairying In America." Those are strong words, yet we cordially believe them to be true. If true what sort of work Is nny dairy farmer doing for himself or his country who breeds beef blood Into his herd? Does he see tbe future as It should be seen? A Fine Holsteln. I.ady Creumelle De Kol Is a member of tlie line herd which Mr. John B.
