These are something exceptional as this expedition goes deep into the jungle of Central Africa to show the world all the wild animals that roam in their respective haunts. The lirst catastrophe of the trip was the loss of the expedition's goat which wandered to a river and suddenly disappeared down the throat of an alligator. The disaster served to inform t.he explorers that there was hunting at hand, nnd in a short time they had bagged a nice collection of monster alligntors. They came to the village of Kodok inhabited hy the Skilluks a warlike race of savages. The party arrived on the Ahyssinian frontier and that night a loud trumpeting revealed the presence of elephants of which they got several.

White, manager of the Slocan Star mine at Sandon, received the good news that the rains of the past few days have substantially increased the water supply at the property, a fact which will facilitate the operation of the mill and compressor plant- Mr. White'Was also informed that the mine itself was looking even better than when be left for Spokane last week to attend the funeral of his brother, the late Byron N.

Tbc pro- Iierty is shipping about 150- tons of lead concentrates per month and is 'liling up zinc concentrates at the rate of about 250 tons a month.

Seventeen miles from Salmo the Molly mine, formerly owned by Messr Hoss, Bennett and Benson, the valu- u'es in which consist almost exclusively ir. the molybdenum contents, has been bonded by Merton A. Merrill of Vancouver, and Is being put In shajie to ship a practically pure product. Mr. Merrill recently returned from the property and stntes that i>relim- inary work has been completed. In order to put the property "ii a shipping basis a surface tram 1" 0 feet length is required from the mine to the millsite, bj .I ... road from the mill four miles in length to connect with the railroad. These Improvements are ill provided for and the only question now under consideration by the management Is ns to the style of a mill to be installed. G. R. B. Elliott, the mining engineer in charge of the work, has recently made a trip to Denver to Inspect the workings of the Woods water flotation I'locess, and either this or an oil flotation process will shortly be Installed, In either ruses the mill will be more or less of an experimental nature, since the first unit will be small, but the jiresent operators figure that with the present price of the mineral tbey will make a profit even with a small mill. While clearing for tbe tram, tlume and mill bas been proceeding, development in the mine has been carried ahead and there is now enough -ore on the dump to keep a mill busy for several months.
