The storm is worst on the Baltic coast, where northwest and northeast winds drive the water Into all of\nthe.harbors.\nKiel, Bckernforde, Flensburg, Lujeck,\nHndcrsloben, Stralsund, Grelfswald, and\nother towns are partly flooded and considerable damage has been done. All\nrailways near the coast have suspended business and some have been ruined\nby the waves.\nHallway communication with Dantzlc\n\u2022Is cut off and a number of trains are\nstuck fast in the snow on. all lines approaching the city. Thus far the only\ncasualties reported occurred at Wteck,\nnear Grelfswald where, the high water\nInundated the poorhouse causing It to\ncollapse, and killing three women and\nfour children. It Is feared also that a\nnumber of fishermen are drowned. Two\nfisher fooats which left Pillau Friday\naro missing and the Swedish minister,\ndne at Sassnltz is behind time.

Cranbrook's growth has\nbeen caused by the steady development\nof the surrounding territory of which\nthe town is the natural nnd commercial\n\/center. For the past year or two the\nprincipal Industry that has contributed\nto the growth of Cranbrook and the\nh district has been the lumbering business\n\u25a0which has developed from a few small\nmills to a large number of the best\nequipped mills In the province with\nhundreds of thousands of dollars of\nI capital invested in machinery, buildings\n(and limits. Cranbrook Is the headquarters of many of these companies\nand naturally is the distributing point\ntor the money paid out for carrying on\nthe industry. The revival of the mining industry at Moyie, the work on the\nSullivan smelter and the consequent\npreparation for extensive development\nand operation of the Sullivan mine and\nproperties In the St. Mary's valley arc\nall contributing to the Increased pros-\n. pertty of this town.\nm\\ In a business way the merchants of\nCranbrook have done well this year, yet\nnone have mado fortunes, It will have\nto bo admitted that In the earlier life\nof Cranbrook the commercial end of the\ntown was In advance of the town Itself\nI Land the surrounding country. But tho\n|rf* past year has placed the conditions on a\nmore satisfactory basis, and as a result\ntoday there are Just about enough business houses to meet the demand' of the\ntown and that portion of the district\nthat la tributary to the town In a commercial way. What has made this\ncondition more satlfactory Is the energy\nof the merchants who have not \"\u25a0\u2014\nbeen\nafraid to put in stocks that would meet\nla not a towa in all of East Kootenay\nmat can present stocks that will compare with those carried by the merchants of Cranbrook. This feature is\nreferred to simply to show the confidence In the town by the class of people\nwho make It their business to study the\nconditions in a commercial sense from\none year's end to another.\nDuring the year 1904 over $100,000\nwere spent lu buildings In Cranbrook,\nand most of this amount was expended\nIn handsome homes by people who had\nmade their money in Cranbrook. As a\nresult this town has gained a reputation\nfor 'being one of the most attractive residential towns in the interior of British\nColumbia, as well as one of the best\nbusiness points.\nThe future of the town is a question\nthat many have a penchant for discussing and the \"Doubting Thomas\" is in\nhis glory when he has opportunity of\nexpressing an opinion on this point.\nThe history of Cranbrook is a guide\npost to the future. The most sanguine\nas to the prospects of the town readily\nconcede that Cranbrook's permanent\nprosperity depends entirely upon the\nfuture of the. district. If the district\nIs a failure, then Cranbrook must\ncrumble and die. But there If. not a man\nliving who has the hardihood to say\nthat the future of southeast Kootenay,\nthat is that portion tributary to Cranbrook, mill he a failure. Shrewd men,\nare investing hundreds of thousands In\nvarious enterprises that depend entirely\nupon the resources of the hills and val-\nieys of this territory. The lumber industry is more Important today than\never before, and men who understand\nthe business say that the timber resources of this district are good for years to\ncome. There is no question about the\nmining Industry and five years from\nnow will see millions invested In the\nlarge but low grade ore bodies of this\nsection. Agriculture Is fast becoming\nan important industry and the revenues\nfrom this source alone will soon form a\npotent factor In the upbuilding of the\ncountry. As the divisional point of the\nCrow's Nest Pass railway and' the railroad center of the district, Cranbrook\nIs feeling the benefits of growing traffic year by year. The building of the\nKootenay Central the coming year will\nadd very much to the business of Cranbrook along this line, and if the C.P.R.\nconstruot their line to Spokane, as projected, making Cranbrook the gateway\nfor this whole section for the travel\n\u25a0from the northwestern states, the\ngrowth of the town will be rapid and\npermanent.\nTo one who was here before there was\na Cranibrook, who has watched Its\ngrowth with a Jealous and fond eye,\nwho lias never been carried away by un-\nviuo eniiiusinsm, who has been quick to\nrecognise the disadvantages and appreciate the difficulties, there Is no\ndoubt that Cranbrook Is destined to be\nthe growing commercial center of a\ngreat district, the development ot which\nwill add vast wealth to the province of\nBritish Columbia.\nF. E. SIMPSON.\nKOOTENAYS ZINC ORES\nPOTENTIAL SOURCE OF WEALTH\nNOT PROPERLY RECOGNIZED.\nDOMINION GOVERNMENT SHOULD\n(ASSIST EXPERT ENQUIRY.\nThe fact Hint In a number ot Important mines In Ainsworth and Slocan\nmining divisions the zinc contents of\nthe wins or bodies of ore are fully equal\nlo the lead, nnd that there are cases\nwhere tho zinc constitutes by far tho\ngreater pnrt of the ore, although well\nknown in the districts directly concerned, docs not yet appear to he generally\nrealized onlsldo of them. Yet that such\nIs the ense Is vouched for by men well\nqualified to speak on the subject. So\nfar, though, their persistent efforts to\nfoster the zinc mining Industry have\nnot met with anything like the recognition or success they should have done,\nseeing that the possible potentialities\nare great and the possiblo resioi- ur\nmuch moment. wuvii,6 in mind the\nreadiness of the dominion government\nto come to the rescue of the lead mining\nIndustry, and the large amount of\nmoney that has been, and Is being, spent\non permanent improvements,- such as\nmills and other reduction works and on\nthe opening up of mines, as a direct result of the stimulating Influence of the\nlead bounty, It is somewhat surprising\nthat what appears to be Indifference Is\nmanifested In the matter of giving the\nzinc Industry, actually in Its Infancy In\nBritish Columbia, the assistance that at\nthe present Juncture would probably\nhasten its being placed on a proflt-earn-\nIng basis. It will be remembered that\nabout a year ago the Associated Silver-\nLead Mines made a request that a zinc\nspecialist be employed to look thoroughly into and 'report upon the zinc re-\nnources of 'Cho province and to make recommendations thereon, and that this\napplication to the dominion government\nwns endorsed by the Associated Boards\not Trade of eastern British Columbia\nnnd the Provincial Mining Association.\nBeyond making the usual formal\nasknowledgemoivt of the receipt of this\napplication and the resolutions endorsing It, tho government does not appear\nto have takon any notice of it, in fact\nseems to have forgotten it altogether.\nTrue the Industry Is struggling into life\nwithout the much desired aid, as may\nhe seen from the following figures\nshowing the shipments of zinc during\nthree years 1902-04; In 1902, about 600\ntons; In 1903, about 1,000 tons; in 1904,\nabout 2,400 Ions, or, It the recent sale\nof 2,000 tons be added, 4,400 tons. Yet\nthis rate of progress is not at all sat-\ntry since It whs assisted. Before the\nannouncement of the government's intention to grant a bounty on lead the\nproduction of that metal had fallen to\nless than at the rate of 5,000 tons per\nannum. Now, with a normal water\nsupply to keep the mills running at full\ncapacity, it is at the rate of about\n20,000 tons per annum. A similarly\nrapid increase in the production of zinc\nis not expected, neither is there a similarly large amount of assistance asked\nfor; in fact the aid requested is notable\nfor the modest outlay It would Involve.\nIt may 'he well then, for those In a position to do so to make an effort to give,\nin the direction indicated, an Impetus\nto zinc mining.\nThat the zinc resources of the province are well worth developing, surely\ndoes not admit of a doubt. There are\nlarge bodies of zinc ores In such mines\nas the Cork, Province, Lucky Jim,\nWashington, Payne, Ivanhoe, Slocan\nStar and others, hut as yet conditions\nare not, as a rule, favorable to their being developed. It would appear, though,\nthat they will not much longer remain\nas now, hut that rather it will soon be\nfound practicable to obtain the much\nneeded expert opinion, and that such an\nauthoritative pronouncement will open\nthe eyes of zinc .buyers in the United\nStates and Europe to the large quantity\nof desirable zinc there Is available in\nBritish Columbia. Meanwhile it is encouraging to think that the past year,\nand particularly the last few weeks,\nhave witnessed a distinct Improvement\nin the prospects for zinc, so the hope\nmay .be Indulged In that the outlook Is\ndecidedly brighter for the extensive\nutilization of the large quantities of this\nmineral occurring in the province.\nEULOGIZES\nDEADHER0ES\nTogo Attends funeral of\nMen Who Died Serving\nUnder Him\nNO. 221\nAdmiral Declines Public Reception, Saying Time is Not Yet for Such a\nFunction\nWATER SUPPLY IS SHORT\nSERIOUS PREDICAMENT OF C.P.R.\nIN BOUNDARY DISTRICT.\nCANNOT OBTAIN ENOUGH FOR USE\nOF LOCOMOTIVES\n[Special to Tho Dally News]\nPhoenix, Dec. 31.\u2014Exports and laymen agree that the C. P. R. Is today\nface to face with a most difficult pro-\nMom oo rai us us oro carrying business\nin tho Boundary is concerned. This Is\nnothing more or loss than n shortage of\nwater for making steam tor the company's locomotives. With tho company\nhauling out nearly 80 cars, or 2,400 tons,\nof ore dally from Ihe Phoenix mines\nalone the situation Is mado more acute,\nand the entire failure of tho water supply from one tank on the Phoenix\nbranch -this week, located about three\nmiles from here, Intensifies the sanation still moro. Last night several of\ntho engines after hauling the empties\nup tho Phoenix hill to tho Graffiby and\nMontreal & Boston mines, were foruod\nto ireturn to Eholt for a supply of aqua\npura. Even at Eholt the supply has\nfailed and the company for months has\nbeen hauling water in lank cars from\nGreonwood, where the supply Is none\ntoo large of itself.\nThis condition ot affairs Is' brought\nabout by the unprecedented dry weather\nthat prevailed this last summer, with\n\u25a0very little wet weather before tho snow\ncame permanently. Then Ihe frost has\nlately dried up fhe few springs that\nwore running. It Is understood thnt\nthe C. P. R. lias made an appropriation\nto secure an adequate water supply at\nEholt from a nearby Inkc, at a considerable cost, but so far nothing lias been\ndono about It, anil the water famine is\nthe result.\nToday the Granby company and Ihe\nMonlreal & Boston Consolidated managed ,to arrange for a partial supply of\nwater for the railway, nnd ore is moving onco more. But the Granby company itself has no moro than it needs,\neven with pumping from the deep levels\nof the mines.\nKettle river has been so low thnt the\nCascade power concern has been able\nlately to opernu hut t,,,- - >\"> ''\"\u2022'\u25a0\u2022'\nlarge turbines, affording but a little\nover 2,000 horse power, Instead of 3,000\nas nereiuioio. This has resulted in the\nGranby company closing down one of\nits mammoth 30-drlll electric air compressors for a time. Fortunately, the\nGranby company has two ten drill steam\ncompressors In reserve, used before electric power was tnkea, and these can be\nplaced In commission at any time. In\nfact, one of them is now In use for operating the pumps and hoists at the\nmines. Supt. Hodges states that lie expects with the reserve plant, to be able\nto get along.\nUntil thlB week the Montreal & Boston mines have been taking power from\nthe Granby plant. jTortunataly however, the Montreal & Boston succeeded\nin, getting their steam compressor at\nwork at the Brooklyn mine \"a few days\nago, relieving the Granby somewhat\nand helping themselves at the same\ntime. The water'supply for the city\nitself is also getting short, nnd economy\nIn use is absolutely necessary.\nTho C. P. R. will doubtless use every\npossible effort to secure water, and keep\nthe ore trains running as usual. .lust\nnow the demand is the groalcst and tho\nsupply the shortest since the C. P. H.\nwas built Into the Boundary country,\nsix years ago.\nSIKHS DENOUNCE BRETHREN\nBombay, Dec. 31.\u2014A mass meeting\nof slkhs at Patialta today adopted a resolution disapproving of the action of\nany sikhs who havo'served the Russian\ngovernment in Manchuria or elsewhere.\nThe resolution will be widely circulated\nIn Ihe slkhs' community.

Every\nphase of the development of British\nColumbia's chief source of wealth Is\nvery fully dealt with elsewhere in this\nIssue. Any one who will read the carefully prepared review of the mining Industry which we publish today will be\ncompelled to concludo that all's well\nwith British Coumbla. The story told\nIs a fascinating one. No one will read\nit without feeling a renewed enthusiasm, a more certain conviction of the\ngreatness of the destiny of this province,\nand a greater degree of confidence In\nthe men who are engaged in exploiting\nour hidden treasures.\nTo citizens of Nelson this review of\ntho mining industry will bring home\nmore fully perhaps than ever ibefore the\nfuture that awults this city if only we\ntake advantage of our opportunities. No\ncity in the province is moro favorably\nsituated to share, and share largely, In\nthe development that can now be said\nto be -well underway and on lines that\nmake for stability and permanence.\nThis city must grow, must more and\nmori become the centre of Industrial\nand commercial activities, having for\ntheir Held the rapidly expanding miner\nal producing districts of southern British Columbia.\nThe recognition of these facts should\nweigh with our citizens In the choice\nthey will shortly have to make of a new\ncouncil to administer the city's affairs\nduring the ensuing twelve months. If\nthe most is to he made of our opportunities there must be united action.\nThere should be no room In Nelson tor\nstrife and dissension, for anything that\nmakes for the disintegration of the\nforces that should join shoulder to\nshoulder for the building up on safe and\nsure lines of the Queen City of the Kootenays.\nThe Dally News may be permitted to\nextend to its patrons sincere thanks tor\ngenerous support In the past year.\nThis paper has experienced all the difficulties and many of the mishaps common to such undertakings In comparatively small communities. Mainly concerned In providing its readers with tho\nnews of the world, Tho Dally News has\nendeavored to take an Intelligent Interest lu all that promises to assist In the\nbetterment of the condlions, economical\nand political, of those amongst whom It\nohlefly circulates.

The\nreasons are well known to all who are Interested in the industry, directly or indirectly. The market In Manitoba and tho\nNorthwest, of which so much was expected, has boon made a dumping ground by\nexporters of rough lumber from Washington. Throughout the district the cut of.\ntimber was less for 1001 than for VM. But\nhopes are entertained of early relief and\nencouragement. Consequently while the\nmills generally aro shut down, and will not\nreopen until tlie spring, bush cutting is\ngoing on extensively^ and many, in fact\ntlie greater number of Ihe thills, have increased their capacity.\nThe district of Kootenay has been, divided for timber Inspection purposes.

SI\u2014During the past year\nPhoenix camp has seen a fair share ot prosperity, with the outlook for the coming\nyear bright. While the great mainstay of\n\u25a0the town Is and always has been for years\nthe fact that the Granby mines are located\nhere, with 300 or 400 men constantly employed, a decided Impetus wa, given to\n(fen ;i al business here during the lost six\nor eight months by two Important events.\nOne of these was the construction of tho\nV., V. & E. extension of the Great North-\nera railway from Grand Forks to Phoenix,\nu, distance of about 25 miles by rail, and\nthe other was the active working of the\nBrooklyn, Sleinwlnder and Rawhide mines\nIn this camp, am' on the opposite side of\ntho hill from the Granby mines.\nThe construction of the Great Northern\nto Phoenix hud been expected and anticipated for some three years, but tt was\nonly In May last that the final announcement was made and tlie work undertaken\nas soon thereafter as possible. With Its'\nmaximum number of 1000 men on the construction, that fact alone was felt by\nbusiness men all through the Boundary,\nbut particularly In Phoenix, where and\naround which place the bulk of the heavy\nwork was done. Roughly speaking something like a million dollars was spent to\nget the Great Northern into .Phoenix,\nWillie tho primary object of the building of this new railway was to secure a\npart of the tonnage of the Granby mlneB,\nthe fact of the building was welcomed generally by the business interest and by other\nmining concerns than the Granby. There\nseems no doubt but that the line will extend In tho near future to Greenwood and\ntlie Boundury Falls smelters, thus\nalso reaching a number of other mining\nproperties now served only by the C.P.K.\nor not at all. It may not be a competition\nof rates but It will be a competition of\nservice at any rate.\nWhen the Montreal & Boston Consolt-\n.datcd acquired the Dominion Copper company's group of mines In this camp last\nsummer, the properties had been opened\nand closed so muny times that there were\nmany who confessed, to a deBlre to be\n\"shown\" and did not deny that they once\nhailed from Missouri, It is gratifyihg to\nstutc that all such persons h*ve been\n\"shown\" In a most satisfactory manner\nthat tho Montreal & Boston Consolidated\nmeunt business, and were mining on a\nlegitimate basis, whatever might happen\nto the stock market In the east. Those in\nCharge hpre, manager Pembarton and,\nsuperintendent Collins, have been pushing\nthings energetically ever since work started In August, and it Is known that all\nttie properties look belter today thun ever\nbefore, and that the representations mude\nregarding them were not overdrawn In\nthe least. These mines rlone have from\n100 to 150 men constantly working and the\nlist Is gradually growing.\nIt may also be .ia'd that 'ho rosumptlot\nof operations by the Montreal & Boston\nConsolidated 1ms had a beneficial effect on\nGreenwood and Boundary Falls, lu which\nlatter place the conueny's smelter is located.\nDuring the past yoar, while there has\nbeen nothing like a boom In Phoenix, there\ncertainly has been a steady, healthy growth\na numbop nf new buildings and residences\nhave been put up, all the oia ones worth\nwhile have been rented, and today it is\nnext to Impossible to Becure a place worth\nliving In In the city. This fact speaks\nleuder than any woids could.\nThe IndebtedueBB of the city amounts to\nonly ^7500, there being no other indebtedness whatever, and this amount Ib being\nconstantly reduced by the city council.\nThe amount btrrowed was $10,000, which,\nwith several thousands more was put Into\nStrtftjt iiiipir,vim\u00ab\u00bbiu. Thft Income of the\ncity from realty taxes, traders' ami Uqwo\u00ab-\nlicenses, and other sourcos is sufilclent\nto meet all expenses and leave a balance\nif affairs aro economically managed, us\nthey have been since tiro city waa incorporated In 1900.\nIn population Phoenix has certainly\ngrown In the last twelve months. The lust\ndominion census gave Phoenix and suburbs abcut 1500 persons, and those who\nhave looked Into the matter assert that the\nplace, with the adjoining mines, which are\npractically lu the town thoutfn outnide tho\ncorporate limits thereof, now has cloBe\nto 2000 population, and Is probably nearly\nus large today ub any other town in the\nBoundary.\nIt can be said In all fairness and truth\nthat, while Mioen'x hns pnise\u00bb throng', Ub\ndull times like every other place In Kootenay or Yule, there Is e \nCHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY\nTHE BEST MADE\n\"In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough\nRemedy la the best made for colds,\" says\nMrs. Cora Walker of Portervlle, California.\nThere is no doubt about Its being the best.\nNo other will euro a cold as aulckiv.\nNo other Is so sure a preventative of\npneumonia.

It was\nthe lot of the writer to be resident in\nthe Boundary through several years\nwhen its production was nil. True, it\nhad, a few years enrlier, sent out, by\npack train to Grand Prairie and thence\nby wagon down the Kettle river to Marcus, on the Spokane Palls and Northern\nrailway, a few score tons of high-grade\nore, from the Providence, Blkhorn, Skylark and other claims that were afterwards permitted to remain unworked\nfor years, but during the two or three\nyears prior to 1900 ot tedious waiting\nfor the railway that discouraged so\nmany, production was, as said, nil. But\ntho B. C. mine broke the spell In the\nearlier half ot 1900, and then came the\nOld Ironsides and Knob Hill, shipping\nthrough the latter half to the Granby\nsmelter, until the yenr closed with a\nrecord of production ot about 100,000\ntons. Tlie next year saw a total of\nnearly 400,000 Ions, for tho B. C. Copper Co.'s works had meanwhile started\nunletting. The two following years had\na still better story to tell\u2014more than\nBOO.000 tons In 1902 and about 086,000 in\n1003. Now comes 1904 with 810,000,\nbringing the aggregate for the five years\nup to nearly 2,600,000 ions. Bnt enough\nof reminiscences, for by this both time\nand space are limited, and brevity is\nthe Instruction.\nAs in former years by far the larger\npart of the ore produced came from the\nGranby mines, with the Mother. Lode\nnext, these two betng together credited\nwith about 708,000 tons. Tho details\nof production have not been supplied,\nnotwithstanding the efforts made to secure the tonnage direct from the companies shipping.

C.\nH Tho patrons of tho Hall Mining &\nSmelting Co., at Nelson, and of the\nCanadian Smelting Works at Trail,\nhave been so far the only bounty claimants, the lead producing area in Canada being confined to southern Kootenay, and a-small portion of contiguous\nterritory In North Kootenay and South\nYale. \t\nThe basis upon which the amount ot\nbounty was fixed, was contained In a\nmemorial of those Interested presented\nto A government in 1903, which set\nforth?\nTbst a normal rato of production for\nthe lead producing district would he\n83,000 tons per annum.\nThat this production would be maintained if a prico ot $2.60 per 100 pounds\nof lead could he depended upon.\nI That the average London price might\nhe taken to be \u00a312 10s. per ton of 2210\npounds, this netting the B. C. producer\nabout $1.75 per 100 pounds at the local\nsmelter.\nThe request put before the govern-\nrr.. it '.\/as for a revision of the tariff\nit lead products, but this proposition\nK Wns rejected by the government as in-\nK consistent with their tariff policy, and\nII of doubtful adequacy, and the alternative offer was made of the bounty as\noutlined, giving at once and directly to\nthe producer, the increased return asked for, and averting from tho consum-\nln- Vss, a iburden not necessitated by\n\"\"flition of the revenue.\n. , ., ^^ a small shipment mado from\nt<* .^JPIffinrk mlno at lllicllllwaet in 1888,\nthe lead production of British Columbia grew to an output of 31,000 tons\n(metallic lead) in 1900, operations having been In this latter year stimulated\nby a London price which ran to \u00a318\nper.ton.\nAt the end of 1900 the American\nSmelting & Refining Company, apparently fearing an over-production, withdrew their buyers from British Columbia, and with a steady decline in\nprice in London, which reached \u00a310\n2s. 6d. in December, 1901, the lead output wont rapidly down hill.\nThe difference to the. mine owner between \u00a318 and \u00a310 2s. Od. Is that he\nreceives for his lead per 100 pounds,\n$2.89 In one case, and $1.19\nother.\nLow water mark in production was\nreached in tho early part ot 1903, the\nlead receipts at the local cmeltors for\nthe first five months amounting to 2,257\ntons only, the built of this being the\nproduct of the Highland mine at Ainsworth,\nThere were, however, during this period, shipments to the United States of\na few hundred Ions.\nAlthough the Intention of the government to pay n bounty upon lead was\nforeshadowed In the budget speech In\nMarch, M03, vet the measure was not\nIntroduced until two months later, and\nIt was October 24th, when It passed into\nlaw, and lAiprll, 1904, before any money\nwas disbursed under Its provisions.\nDuring the last sosslon of pnrlln-\n open up new\nBhoots of ore, and were not disposed to\nsoil their properties at prices that were\nregarded by prospective buyers as reasonably low, under the circumstances\nthat a considerable expenditure In exploration would be necessary before\nregular production of ore might be\nlooked for.\nElsewhere the generally beneficial effects of the lead bounty are stated, so\nall that will here be asserted is that it\ncertainly has had a more or less direct\neffect In stimulating,* new development\nIn those of the mines of the Slocan that\nhave lead in quantity in their bodies.\nThe bearing the zinc question has upon\nthe present position and the promise It\ngives of materially assisting the progress of the district In the near future\nare also dealt with In another column.\nThere are, though, Apart from these\nImportant, -matters, two encouraging\nfeatures to which particular attention\nmay well be directed, viz,, the increasing favor the leasing system (with or\nwithout purchase) is gaining among\nmining men. especially in cases where\nowners are not prepared to work their\nproperties themselves, and 2nd, the recognition by several companies owning\nlarge properties of the necessity, mow\nthat In most cases the deposits of rich\nore nearer the surface have been, or\nare fast being, exhausted, for driving\nlong tunnels to tap the veins at considerable depth. The Rambler-Cariboo\nMines, Ltd., has set nn excellent example In this respect, and has been deservedly complimented on Its enterprise In undertaking the driving of a\n4,300-foot tunnel, ostlmated to cost\n$100,000, to cut its vein at a depth of\n1,40 feet\u2014a greater depth than has\nyet been reached by *ny mine workings\nIn the Slocan district. It Is encouraging to learn that other comapnies,\neither singly or In co-operation, are\nplanning to similarly provide for the\nmore extensive opening up of their\nmines, for with production being carried on at much greater depth, as it\ncan be profitably done after tho necessity for much pumping in this wet\ncountry and hoisting from comparatively great depths shall have been done\naway with, more extensive operations\nwill he practicable .aid the establishment of the mines upon a regular dlvl-\ndend-pnying basis may be regardod as\na reasonably certain result.\nInformation relative to most of the\nbetter-known mining properties In the\nSlocan will bo found below. It Is necessarily brief, bnt where It has been\nobtainable, It covers the leading points\nof the year's work.\nMcGUIGAN BASIN.\nSoho and Tom Moore\u2014These form\npart of a group of 12 claims owned by\nthe Soho Consolidated Mines, Ltd. The\nunderground development work done\nduring the year consisted chiefly of\ncross-cutting and drifting. The company Is stated to be planning the driving of a long tunnel on the property\nand the installation of power plant and\na tramway.\nRambler-Cariboo\u2014The development\nwork the Rambler-Cariboo Mines, Ltd.,\nIs doing Is about the most important\nwork of its kind in progress in the\nSlocan. A cross-cut tunnel, the portal\nof which Is at a point about half way\nbetween McGuigan and the mine, on\nDardanelles creek, is being driven to\ncut the vein at a depth of more than\n1,400 feet. It is 7 feot by 7 feet 6\ninches in the clear, with water box 1\nfoot by 2 feet under the oar track. By\nthe middle of last month the distance\ndriven was 1,327 feet, progress made\nhaving been at the. rate of about 220\nfeet per month. The main shaft has\nbeen deepened 100 feet to the 866-foot\nlevel, at which depth a cross-cut has\nbeen run 47 feet and some 239 feet of\ndrifting done. Before thia tunnel waa\ncommenced It was estimated that it\nwould take two years to complete and\nthat Its approximate cost would be\n$60,000. Shipments made during 1904\ntotalled about 400 tons of crude silver-\nlead ore and 414 tons of concentrates.\nThe crude ore ran about 150 ounces\nsilver per ton and 50 per cent lead.\nThe ore milled was concentrated about\n12 Into 1 and the concentrates averaged 112.5 ounces silver, 28.5 per cent\nlead, and 12,9 per cent zinc. The zlnc-\nbearlng tailings are being stored.\nRed Fox\u2014This property, which adjoins the Antoine, was worked this\nwinter, and shipped two cars of ore.\nAntoine\u2014Only about 200 tons of ore\nwere shipped by the lAntoine Consolidated Mines during 1904 pending the\nconstruction of a long tunnel, surveys\nfor which are completed, and which,\nlike much other necessary mining work\nIn the district, Is awaiting the provision of means for marketing the\nlarge quantities of zinc ore that under\nconditions heretofore obtaining have\nbeen lying useless or have been treated\nas waste. The ore In this mine contains about 200 ounces silver per ton\nand 65 to 72 per cent lead. A trial\ncar of zinc ore, running high in silver\nwas taken out, but was not sold, owing\nto difficulties in realizing anything like\na fair value for its silver contents.\nSurprise\u2014Development work was\ndone last Bummer, but no shipment of\nore was reported.\nR, E. Lee\u2014Worked several men, but\nshipped only one car of ore\u2014about 18\ntons.\nGreat Western\u2014Did some development and made small shipments of ore.\nWashington\u2014This property is owned by the Washington Mine, Ltd., a\nclose corporation, navlng a nominal\ncapital of $200,000, with its stock held\nby about half a dozen shareholders.\nIt lies between the Payne mine and McGuigan basin, and has in sight from\n40,000 to 50,000 tons of concentrating\nmaterial, which it Is estimated will\nyield about 2,000 tons of lead concentrates and 8,000 tons of zinc concentrates. The lend concentrates will av-\nerage about 100 ounces silver to tho ton\nand 65 per cent lead. The zinc Ib of an\nunusually clean character, being practically free from iron. It is believed a\nhigh-grade zinc concentrate can be produced by water concentration only.\nTests have shown that such concentrates will carry 15 to 20 ounces silver\nand upwards of 50 per cent zinc. The\ncompany is arranging to equip the\nproperty with an nerial tramway next\nspring, and will either build its own\nconcentrator or ship Its concentrating\nore to one of the concentrating mills\nalready erected In the district. In'past\nyears the mine has produced approximately 3,000 tons of clean silver-lead\nore. Up to the present only about one-\nninth of the area available for exploitation by tunnel has been developed,\nso it is ibelleved to be capable of a large\nproduction under favorable conditions\nas to treatment of Its ores and market\nfor Its products.\nSlocan Boy\u2014Was worked under lease\nall last summer.\nABOUT SANDON.\nPayne\u2014The Payne Consolidated Mining Company worked from 75 to 100\nmen regularly until a few weeks since,\nwhen operations were suspended, except the employment of a few men engaged In taking out ore firom the lower\nlevels, and the leasing of portions of\nthe older workings, pending the making of financial arrangements for the\ndevelopment of the m.ne below the No,\n8 level, on which a great deal of exploration' work has been done. An ore\nshoot of considerable extent and value\nhas been opened up on this level, east\nand weBt from- the cross-cut from the\nmain tunnel, for a i.otal distance of\nabout 300 feet. The oro shows up very\nstrongly under foot, giving promise of\npermanence. Ai station has been cut\nin the east drift and a winze sunk In\nthe ore 16 feet. So satisfactory was\nthe showing of ore that the manager,\nMr. A. C. Garde, recommended that\nthis ore body be explored by sinking\nfrom No. 8 level n, a depth of 200\nto 300 feet, after which, should results\nwarrant it, a long cross-cut tunnel,\nstarting at, a point lower down the\nPayne mountain, on the Sandon side,\nshould be driven for the purpose of\ncutting the vein at a depth of 600 feet\nbelow No. 8 level, and providing means\nfor economically handling the ore by\navoiding the necessity for hoisting,\nshorten the haul to the mill, and draining the mine without pumping.\nTotal production at the Payne during\nthe year was 2,096 tons, as follows:\nCrude ore shipped, l'i6 tons; silver-lead\nconcentrates, 601 tons; separated zinc\nconcentrates, 926 tons; separated Iron\nconcentrates, 394 tont>. The tonnage of\nore concentrated was 32,821 tons. The\ncrude ore shipped and the silver-lea?\"\nconcentrates averaged about 134 ounces\nsilver and 67 per cent lead. The average\nvalue per ton of the concentrates for\nthe year was about $100. The separated zinc concentrates run about 60 per\ncent zinc and 12 to 15 ounces silver per\nton, and the Iron concentrates 37 per\ncent Iron and 7 to 10 ounces silvor.\nDevelopment work during the year con-u\nslated of 711 feet of sinking and raising!\nand 748 feet of cross-cutting and drift-!\nIng; total 1,458 feet. Total development!\nwork to date Is about 21,000 lineal feet\/f\nThe magnetic zinc separating plain\n\u2014the first In Canada\u2014Installed by mL\nGarde has a capacity of 200 to 300 tonal\nfinished product per month, according!\nto per centage of zinc contained inl\nmaterial treated, the galena having flrstjl\nbeen extracted -by ordinary water con-T\ncentration. The plant has been found!\nthoroughly effective In raising the gradel\nof the zinc product from an average off\nabout 25 per cent ztac contained in th\u00ab\nraw material to 60 per cent and higher J\nThe decided success of this plant hai\ninfluenced several other companies operating in the district to alter their]\nconcentrators so as to save the zlncl\nand to install similar separating plants.f\nOcean\u2014The Slocan Reciprocity Com-i\npany had 3 or 4 men employed in doingl\ndevelopment work on this property all!\nthrough the summer.\nMercury\u2014Not much work .was donel\non this claim, which Is supposed to bel\non the Payne vein. Only 20 tons of|\nvery high-grade ore were shipped.\nMajestic and Unexpected\u2014Situate onl\nPayne mountain and worked under I\nlease. Did about 430 feet of under-!\nground work during the year, and trac-.\ned the lead on th& surface for about\n400 feet. Constructed a pack traifi\nfrom the Payne wagon road and ship-]]\nped some 60 tons of ore running about)\n70 ounces silver to the ton and 75 per;\ncent lead.\nAmerican Boy\u2014The buildings at this<|\nmine were last year destroyed, and after]\nhaving been replaced were partiallyfl\nwrecked. These misfortunes and 1IU\u2122\ngatlon together delayed operations until October, in which month work waa|\nresumed with 8 men. Shipments there-f\nafter to the end of the year were about|\n90 tons of ore of a good grade.\nLast Chance\u2014About 700 feet of de-l\nvelopment work was done in the Last\nChance mine, of which 200 feet was\nsinking and 500 feet cross-cutting and\ndrifting. Ore shipments totalled 388\ntons. The suit between the Nohto Five\ncompany and the Last Chance Was recently settled and the latter resumed\nmining In the old workings of the ralnej\nthese having been Idle for about 3 years.\nIt is anticipated that from now on much\nwork will be done here. Under a mu-T\ntual agreement tho ground in dispute]\nbetween the two companies is being\nworked by the Last Chance, which has)\nundertaken to pay the Noble Five com-j|\npany a royalty on all ore shipped from!\nthat part of tho mine. j\nNoble Five\u2014This mine has remained!\nIdle, and there Is no Immediate pros-r\npect of Its resuming work, Its com-!\npressor plant having been removed du-1\nring the year. j\nSovereign\u2014After shipping 40 tons otil\nore, work was stopped on this prop-]\nerty.\nReco\u2014About 45 men are employed atij\nthis mine, taking out ore from Nos.

The year's shipments to\nDecember 31st, total 1,045 tons. It is\nintended to continue rawhldlng until\ntho snow goes, by which time, it is anticipated, the Reco company will have\na cash balance of probably $100,000\navallablo for distribution among Its\nshareholders.\nChambers Group\u2014Not now working,\nbut was under lease for five or six\nmonths.

No reply to applications tor information was received,\nbo that particulars ot the year's developments can not be stated. Prom other\nthan official sources, though, it has\nbeen ascertained that the chief underground work of the year was done on\nthe Silversmith claim of the group. During tile summer some 60 men were regularly employed. The concentrating\nmill was remodelled and zinc saving\nappliances were put in. The mill was\noperated until water ran short towards\nfhe end ot the autumn. It Is reported\nto have made about 2,500 tons of zinc\nconcentrates, which have mot yet been\n(.hipped. Its shipments ot sliver-lead\nconcentrates totalled by the middle of\nDecember 2,673 tons, which total was\nprobably added to by the time the year\n.closed. Latterly soi.,e 35 men have\nBeen employed. Two dividends were\npaid In 1901, togethei (50,000, or 10 per\ncent on the company's authorized capital of (500,000. The total of dividends\npaid to date Is (600,000, which total Is\n(100,000 in excess of the amount of the\ncapital. It has recently been announced that the company will next spring\nInstall its own zinc separating plant.\nRuth\u2014The usual large amount of\ndevelopment was carried on by the\nRuth Mines, Ltd., during the year,\nchiefly on Its Hope claim, on which a\n600-foot tunnel is being driven on the\nHope vein. IAI few men were employed\nin developing this vein at other levels.\nIt Is understood the connection ot the\nHope and Ruth old workings is being\nmade, to facilitate the taking of the ore\nout ot the mine. Shipments to December were 575 dry tons, but no sloping\nor regular production was undertaken\nduring the year. The mill remained\nclosed, pending the completion of arrangements to make It possible to market the zinc ores, which in this mine,\nas In others, occur *utermlttently with\nthe galena ore. About 1,000 tons of\ncine concentrates of good grade resulted from the last run of the mill on\ngalena. Under former conditions this\nwould have gone Into the tail race and\nbeen treated as waste, but now It 1\u00ab\nsaved for magnetic separation, which,\nwill make It saleable. The Ruth mines\nare now developed to a point which assures permanent operation after the\nmarketing of zinc ores shnll have been\nmade parctlcahle. The mill has been\nthoroughly adapted to the concentration\nof zinc aa well as lead bearing ores,\nand the quantity ot both ores In sight\nIn the mine is large.\nIvanhoe\u2014The Minnesota Silver Company's Ivanhoe mine employed from\n75 to 90 men during the greater part\nof the year. The cable of Its aerial\ntramway was renewed and a 200-ton\nconcentrating mill was erected by the\ncompany at Sandon. Thla plant Is\nstated to be making about 4 tons ot\nsjlver-lead concentrates and 7 tons of\nsine concentrates Sally. Shipments\nto December were 1,340 tons silver-lead\nand 1,273 tons zinc concentrates. No\nInformation was supplied by the company In time for inclusion in this review, but it Is known that large reserves of ore are being opened up in\nthe mime, and it is expected that shipments will shortly be on a larger scale.\nWonderful\u2014No work was done on\nthis property in 1904.\nMiller Creek Group\u2014Not much work\nwas done during the year, hut negotiations for leasing the property will probably result in its being operated.\nCinderella and Medford\u2014This property, which is owned in England, was operated under lease. From it were shipped 175 tons of silver-lead ore, running 85 ounces silver per ton and 73\nper cent lead.\nAROUND THREE FORKS.\nMonitor and Ajax Fraction\u2014Only one\ncar of ore was shipped by the Monitor\nwhich is situate at i*hree Forks, and\nnot much development work was done,\nthe company having been giving its attention to putting in a large flume and\npower plant for tlie mine and to the\nerection of a zinc enriching plant at\nRosebery, on Slocan lake. The construction of the building for these\nworks has been well advanced, but the\nmcahinery has not yet been received.\nIt Is unlikely much more progress will\nbo made until next spring.\nQueen Bess\u2014This property, which\nhad not been, worked for several years,\nwas secured by a Kaslo syndicate,\nknown as_the Queen-Dominion Mines.\nDevelopment work was done for several\nmonths until recently, when the mine\nwas closed down for the winter.

Shipments\nwere about 60 tons of ore.\nIdaho-Alamo\u2014About 1,250 lineal feet\nof development work were done on\nthis porperty during uie yenr, bringing the total up to, approximately, 15,-\n000 feet. Nearly 10,000 tons of ore\nwere extracted, of which 200 tonB were\nshipped as crude ore nnd the balance\nwas concentrated, yielding some 800\ntons of silver-lend concentrates. During eight months to August 31st, tho\nconcentrates averaged 68 ounces silver,\n53 per cent lead and 11 per cent zinc;\nvalues during the remainder of the year\nwere 120 ounces silver, 65 per cent lead\nand 10 per cent zinc. The crude ore\nshipped assayed about 100 ounces sliver, 45 per cent lead and 9 per cent\nsine. The shoot of ore lately toeing\nmined gave about 7 feet of fine milling\nore. lalddltlons to equipment Included\nan automatic aorlal tramway 6,800 feet\nlong, and a double carrier oscillating\ntramway 1,800 feet long.\nNOW DENVER AND SILVBRTON.\nWhile nearly all\" the mining properties that will be noticed under this\nliead are In the Slocan mining division, several of them are situate so near\nthe dividing line between that and the\nSlocan City division aa to make It\nprobable they should he Included In the\nlatter.\nThe year's output from this section\n\u25a0vas between 1,300 and 1,400 tons.

The Emily Edith was lately\nleased for three years, with option to\npurchase, to M. S. Davys, of Nelson,\nwho started work on the property In\nDecember. The Lnura Doone shipped\ntwo cars of ore, nnd the lessees are\ncontinuing work at this mine. The\nli, H. also had some development dono\non It.\nHewitt\u2014This mine was worked all\nthe year under lease and bond to Mr.\nM. S. Davys, whose lease has another\nyear to run. Work was chiefly the\nopening up of known ore shoots, from\nwhich shipments were made totalling\n432 tons to the middle of December.\nThe ore Is dry and averages about 115\nounces silver, 4 per cent lead and 11.\nto 12 per cent zinc. A rnlse Is being\nmado and new ground 1b being opened\nup.\nComstock\u2014This Silverton mine Is\nowned by Messrs. Davys nnd Hunter,\nwho did 288 lineal feet of underground\ndevelopment work In It during 1904.\nand shipped about 300 tons of ore averaging 80 ounces sliver and 55 per cent\nlead. Feetoge of development work\nnow aggregates 4,528 lineal feet. Its\nsuccessful operation Is confidently anticipated.\nWakefield \u2014 Another leased mine,\nworked during the year by Mr. T. R.\nLane. Production Ib given as 420 tons\nof silver-lend and 360 tons of zinc, this\ntonnage having been shipbed. The mine\nhns been considerably developed in\npast years, and It has its own concentrating plant with which the mine Is\nconnected by an aerial tramway. It\nis regarded as a prospective steady\nzinc producer, its estimated dally capacity under existing j conditions having been placed at about 60 tons of\nzinc of a shipping grade. Its first shipment of zinc was made In 1902 when\none car was sent. out. followed by\n6 cars In 1903. Its production of silver-lead, has, ot course, been very\nmuch larger.\nFisher Maiden\u2014The output of the\nFisher Maiden group for 1904 Is stated to have been about 100 tons of dry\nore. Development was continued and\na wagon road built a mile and a half\nto connect with the main road up Four-\nMile creek. This property will probably be continuously worked In 1905.\nRockland\u2014Thet Rockland group of\nfive full claims 19 aituated on Eight-Mile\ncreek, betwoon. four and five miles from\nSilverton. It, Is a copper property and\nIs being operated hy the Rockland Copper Co. Ltd., of Philadelphia, with Mr.\nJ. W. Hamilton as mine manager.\nPrior to 1904 about 400 feet of tunneling had been done. Last year's work\nIncluded thp erection of boarding house,\nblacksmith!shop and other mine buildings nnd getting In. timbers and supplies for the winter, with the Intention\not keeping about a dozen men at work.\nA cross-cut tunnel is being driven, the\ncalculation being that at about 480 feet\nthis will tap the ledge at a depth of,\napproximately, 400 feet. The ore showing, so far as developed, gives a width\nof nearly 80 feet. Assays of ore from\na depth of 100 feet have given an average of 2 per cent copper and ?10\nin gold. Some copper returns havo\nbeen as high as 49.6 per cent, from\nspecimens assayed. Cnrbonnto ore,\nhigh in copper occurs near tho surface.\nSLOCAN CITy DIVISION.\nThe output of ore fwm this division\ntotalled about 2,300 tons, ot which tonnage moro than half was contributed\nby the Ottawa, the Enterprise coming\nnext with a total of 751 tons.\nOttawa\u2014The manager of tho Ottawa\ngroup wns lately quoted in tho district\nnewspapers as having stated that this\nproperty had returned not less than\n(49,000 in excess or expenditures op\ndevelopment, Improvements, surveys,\netc. The average grade of the 1316\ntons of oro sent out last year was high\n\u2014about 190 ozs. silver to the ton, total\nsliver contents having been nearly\n250,000 ounces. It Is claimed\nthat the returns from this ore\npaid tho purchase price of tho property\nas well as the cost of devoloplnglt and\nmaking the requisite surface Improvements. With silver advancing in price\nthere will be an increased output to\nwhatever extent shall be found practicable. The ore now accessible is being\nextracted, and work Is being pushed to\nopen up other shoots or levels. Further particulars can not be given, no\nInformation having been supplied on\nrequest for it.\nEnterprise\u2014This mine was operated\nby W. E. Koch, under lease from tho\nEnterprise (B. C.) Mines. Ltd. About\n400 feet of development, chiefly drifting,\nwas done during the year and 751 tons\n(dry weight) ore were shipped by the\nmiddle of December, with n probability\nof adding another car before the month\nended. The ore returns showed a little higher general average value than\nthat received In 1903. The opening up\nof lower ground, by driving a 300-foot\ncross-cut tunnel -to cut the lead- and\nthen drifting, Is contemplated.\nArlington\u2014This proporty was inoperative throughout tho year. The\nquestion of determining the most suitable process for treating its large bodies\nof oro that can root be profltably shipped in their crude state, has been engaging the attention of the owners of\nthe' mine, hut as yet nothing definite\nhas resulted In the direction of Installing reduction plant.\nBlack Prince\u2014The Black Prince, Two\nFriends and Bank of England groups\nare now consolidated and being operated by the Pioneer Mining Company,\nLtd. The year's development work on\nthese properties consisted ot 285 feet of\nsinking and raising and 1,070 feet of\ncroBs-cuttlng and drifting. This development blocked out a body of dry\nore estimated at about 1,200 tons, of\nwhich as much as possible will he shipped this winter. Prom 30 to 35 men\nhave been employed, but a recent report states that the working force has\nbeen reduced by one-third. The bunk-\nhouse accommodation was doubled last\nyear, an assay offlco built, and 3!&\nmiles of sleigh road built to connect\nwith the Springer creek wagon ruad\nnear tlie (Arlington mine. A deep-level\nadit is being driven, the expectation\nbeing that this will reach tlie ore shoot\nby next spring. Tho average value\nof Two Friends ore shipped Is given\nas 190 ounces silver per ton and 25 per\ncent lead, and that of Black Prince ore\nas 132 ounces silver and 6 per cent lead.\nKilo\u2014Wliile tlio Kilo only shipped\n40 tons of ore, of a gross assay value\not about (75, it has a large quantity-\nestimated at about 15,000 tons\u2014of milling oro blocked out, the average value\nof which has been placed at (17. Some\n200 feet, of drifting, etc., were done\nlast year.\nNeepawa\u2014The lessees of this property\nhave had 5 men employed. A raise\nwas made between Nos. 1 and 2 tunnels\nand an oro shoot opened up. About 100\ntons of oro were shipped. Work is being continued under the lease.\nChaplcau\u2014Twcnty-flvo to thirty men\nwero employed at this mine Inwards the\nend of the year. Ore Is being taken out\nand the stamp mill has been running\nono 10-hour shift. As soon ns It can\nibe done the mill will bo operated night\nand day. Tho outlook for this property\nIs promising and the lessees are hopeful of success.\nrtansen\u2014Four men were employed\nand three cars of ore got out ready for\nshipment. Further production Is anticipated this winter.\nThere wore 15 to 20 othor properties\nthat Bhlpped a little oro and others on\nwhich more or leBs development was\ndone. Among these were the Hampton, Highland Light, Republic, Cripple Stick, Port Hope, Sapphire, Argen-\ntlte, Edison, Club, Graphic, Colorado,\nBlandfleld, Emmott, Lady . Franklin,\nHlttle-Nolan group, and several others.\nTho Chaploau is again bolng worked,\nand ore will shortly be shipped from 11.\nNext year this property will probably\nI make an excellent showing.\nMINES AROUND\nKAMLOOPS\nDuring the past year tliero has benn\na steady advancement Iu the Kamloops\nmining camp, though, with one notable\nexception, that advancement has been\nmanifested mainly in tho better showing made by assessment work done on\na number of prospects. There has been\nconsiderable activity around tho Jacko\nLake section of the camp where several\nimportant new finds have been made,\nand of these particular mention mny be\nmade of\" the Monte Carlo and the adjoining claim, tlio Grass Roots, on each\nof which promising veins of copper-\nbearing mineral have been encountered.\nOn the latter six separate velnfl of ore\nhave so far been uncovered, carrying\ncopper associated with magnetic and\niron pyrlties, the latter carrying.gold\nvalues ranging from $2 to over $40 per\nton.\nlAt the other edge of the camp the\nnow operators of the Copper King havo\nfound it advisable to suspend work for\nthe time being. This property was managed for some time by A. N. 0-rayv of\nWoodstock, Ontario, with considerable-\nsuccess and during the summer a dear,\nwas mado for its operation by Vancouver Island people who had a force\nof men employed for a few months\nwhen they stopped work for reasons- not\nannouncod. It Is expected that operations will he resumed In the spring.\nThe Iron Mask, one of the ftrit locations made here in 1890 and which hns\nbeen persistently worked ever stace, U*\nnow being handled with satisfactory results by the Kamloops Mines, Limited,\nunder the management of captain- Ar-\ngall, is now beyond the prospect stage\nand is ranked as a regular shipper. A\nnew hoisting plant, air compressors and\ndrills, electric lighting plant and concentrator, were installed during ' the\nsummer and have for about throe\nmonths been in steady operation. A\nlarge portion of the oro is of sufficiently high grado to be shipped after sorting without passing through the concentrator, and the average dally shipments of ore and concentrates runs\nabout two car loads. The management\nis very reticent and there Is no means\nof ascertaining at present the smelter\nreturns but these are understood to be\nmost satisfactory in every way. Tho\ncompany have built a road from the\nmine to tho railway siding some two\nmiles distant and the ore and concentrates are hauled down by four-horse\nteams and a powerful traction engine.\nThe fact that locally produced coal is\nused at tho Iron Mask mine as a fuel\nfor generating all tlie power employed,\nis of great importance. The coal is obtained from a prospect shaft. In process\nof sinking on coal measures which outcrop within three miles of Kamloops.\nA local company has been formed to\nopen up the measures and though at .\nfirst the outlook was not considered\nvery encouraging later development, has\nbeen attended with bettor results. Drifting Is dow being done at a depth ot\n300* feet and the coal seam is widening\n| nnd giving better and cleaner coal as\nthe work: progresses. The work is being carried on under the direction of J.\nh. Brown, who has under him a small\nforce sufficient for the present needs.\nThe company intend importing experienced coal miners from Nanahno and\n, going more extensively Into tlio work\n) of development next spring.\nThe gold dredge at Tanquille, under\ntho superintendence of J. Johnston, has\nlj>ecn running steadily ail the season\n\u25a0&nd the fact that a full crew Is constantly employed indicates that the ven-\ninv3 Is meeting with the success ,lt\nn.ei)its. Unfortunately the same cannot; be said of the gold dredging at Lyt-\nton on tho Fraser. Tlie new dredge is\npractically a failure or its management\nis open to improvement. It was In operation for several weeks but the results were not aa expeetcd. This is not\nthe fault of tho ground though the portion 'hat was exploited by that particular dredge was not as wisely selected ns It might have beea. Better results havo attended the Iowa company's\ndredge at Lillooet and were it. not from\nthe delays caused by frequent breakdowns, due in the main to defective\narrangement, of the working plant, the\nreward would bo much greater. As it\nis, with a stoppage of on an nverage of\ntwo hours per shift, three shifts to the\nH hours, the dredgo cleans up from\n$1,000 to $1,400 per week,\nTho bonding of tho Maggie group on\nthe Bonaparte river, 14 miles from Ash-\ncroft, by Mr, Rogers, of Hedley City,\ngives rise to the hope that next year\nwill ho productive of increased activity\ntn that section of the country.\n r\n1- J \u25a0: W-\n\u2022>\u2666&\"\n<$\u00a3-\n$$\n\u2022IH??\n^\n^\nW\n\u00a3{\u00a3\n^4\n3$&\nUfa.\n-\u00ab\"Br\n\u2022*\u00bb\"ey-\n\u2022\u2022Ms\n1H1 DAILY KKWB: SUNDAY JANUARY I IMS\n^^#*\"*##\nmwm&\n$mmmmmm-\nm\nHighest Grades Coal & Coke\nSteam, Domestic, Blacksmithing\nCollieries\nat\nCoal Creek\nMichel\nand\nCarbonado\nCoke'Ovens\nat\nFernie\nMichel\nand\nCarbonado\nOUR Coal Creek, Michel and Carbonado Coals\nhave no superiors for steaming purposes in\nAmerica, and no equal in Canada.
