Compiled by Commissioner Chip- mau and Appearing in Government Report for 1902. The continued low price of1 lead, and 11 the very groat depreciation in the value of tilver have had a depressing effect on the mining industry iu thisdistrictdur- ing the past year.' In consequence of this, many of the mines are closed down, or are employing a greatly reduced forced , Development, however, lias been fairly well kept up, and nearly all the . claims have been represented. A larger number of properties have been crown- granted than ever before in a single year in this district, the number reaching 139, while 1(58certificatesof improvements have been issued. A new feature for encouragement is found in the opening of a market for zinc ores. Formerly, zinc in the silver- lead ores in the Slocan was a detriment, the atneltern have exacted a penalty for its presence. Thï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ore is now being -sought after by the American zinc smelters, and prices are being paid for it which will enable the shippers to realize a profit on' a commodity they had looked upon as not only worthless but injurious. A, number . of mines . notably among them the Payne, Ivan- hoi, Slocan Star and some others, have availed themselves of this new market by shipping a considerable quantity of the ore to lola, Kansas, where it Is being treate.L Preparations are also being made to remodel some of the mills, for the better separation of the ores, and it is reported that a number of other mills will be built, during the coming summer, for the proper and more economical handling of the product. Yet despite the low state of the markets, considerable amount of development work baa been done, shipping a good quantity of ore, as shown by the details of the different properties herewith. Payne. Upon the Payne Mining Company's property, since my last report, a large concentrator has been built and has been running for the last live months to good advantage, The average number of men employed during the year waa 60, some 1,700 tons of lead ore and.a considerable amount of zinc having been shipped, while 1,054 feet of tunnelling were run, with 513 feet of winze and upraise. The mine is managed by A, C. Garde. The St. Keverine, also managed by A. 0. Garde, employed on an average four men during the year, 7 tons of ore having been shipped and 459 feet of tunnel driven, with 47 feet ef upraise and v?inze. The operations were suspended a short time ago. Slocan Star. This well-known mine has, during the year, been working with a reduced force, owing to the unfavorable state of the metal market, the average number of men employed being 27. The ore shipments amounted to over 1,300 tons and there were 2,530 feet of tunnelling driven, including upraises and winzes. The property is under the ployed doing development work, and for the year at the Recording office: management of O. V.

The properties are owned by an English company operating under the name.of the Monitor and Ajax Fraction,-Limited ; capital, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'55,000. It acquired the Monitor and Hustler Fraction in September 1900, from Messrs. W. S. Drewry. The Mercury, also managed by W. S. Drewry, has employed three men during the'year; shipped 21 tons of ore,and driven 110 feet of tunnel. The work here has been principally development. The Hewitt, situated near Silrerton, has worked a force of 18 men, shipped 784 tons of ore, and run 905 feet of tun- miners'special, 6; company, 12; company special, 2; certificates of work recorded, 408; locations recorded, 153; certificates of improvements recorded, 94; cash paid in lieu of work, $500; bills of stile and other documents recorded, 140; abandonments recorded, 3; water rights- recorded, 1; traders' license issued 44.

Ihe position of this group, traversed as. it is, by the branch line of'flie C..P' R.J is' per: haps the most advantageous of any in thu district for cheap and rapid exploitation. Since the: beginning ef operations by the present, owners, 3,257 feet of tunnelling and raises have been driven, with an average crew of 22men, and 1.620 tons of ore were mined and shipped to the smelter producing the following values:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Gold 504 ozs, value, $9,610.55; silver, 177,713 ozs., value $91,856.03; lead, 1,119,903 lbs., value $15,242.50; total in all-/allies$116,712.80. The tonnage or ore blocked out and ready for etoph'g amounts to over 3,000 tons. This ore jb an argentiferous galena, with this-characteristic, that it carries high values in gold. The ledge has been explored on the Monitor and Hustler Fraction only, but it is apparently certain that it traverses the Portland, Friday Fraction-ami Keewatis, as flout ore has been found on and below the last named property. The ground above the Monitor being covered with heavy timber and wash makes prospecting for the ledge from the surface inadvisable. The property is unddr the management of Mr. Maurice Gintz- burger. American Boy. This property is situated near Sandon, and employs 17 men. During the year 1,182 tons of ore were shipped, and 280 feet of tunnel driven, with 790 feet of upraise and winze, and 300 feet of crosscut tunnel. The property is managed by Thomas McGuigan. Reco. During the year 1902, shipped 536 tons of very high grade ore; the average number of men employed was 15, and 500 feet of tunnel have been driven, together with 250 feet of upraise and winze, John M. Harris has managed this mine since 1892. Queen Bess. Employed eight men on an average, and has shipped 295 tons of ore; 305 feet of tunnel and 434 feet of upraise and winze have been driven. The property is managed by W. G. Scott. Slocan Boy. Is under the management of J. L. Retallack, has, during the year, employed six men on an average, and shipped 200 tons of ore; 500 feel of upraise and winze have been run. Red Fox. Employed during the year an average of 10 men and shipped 164 tons of ore of good grade. Some 675 feet of tunnel and 455 of upraise and winze have been driven, 200 feetof open cut worn donï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ in the way of prospecting, and 300 lineal feet of sloping. This mine is under the management of Geo. H. Aylard. Hartney. Four men have been em- It has now been closed down for the last two months. The Last Chance, situated near Sandon, has shipped 249 tons of ore during the year, and run 350 feet of tunnel, with 250 of upraise and winze. On an average 10 men were employed. L. Pratt is the resident manager. The Capella. Group, situated near New Denver, ,011 Goat, mountain, is managed by W. R. Wills, who is half- owner of the property. On an average five men have been employed during the past year, 50 tons of very high grade ore shipped, and 154 feet of tunnel, with 125 feet of winze and upraise run. The mine has been closed for the last two months. The R. E; Lee, with L. Alexander as manager, employed eight men, shipped 130 tons of ore, and 500 feet of tunnel and 200 feet of upraise and winze were run. This property has also beenclosed. down since the 1st November, 1901. On the Bosun, near New Denver, W. H. Sandiford, manager, a considerable amount of development work has been done during the year, 679 feetof tunnel and 162 feet of winze and upraise being made. About 1300 tons of ore were shipped, 500 ton* of which were zinc. The average number of men employed waB 27. The Idaho, W. S. Jenkins, manager, worked a force of 12 men, and although no ore was shipped, a large amount of development, comprising 1,500'feet of tunnel and shaft work was done. Marion. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Caldwell, manager. On this property there have been two men doing development work, and 150 feetof tunnel have been run, in order to tap the ore-body at a greater depth. The Fisher Maiden, Frank Watson, manager, situated on Four Mile creek, has employed on an average six men, has ahipped 120 tons of ore during the year and run 400 feet of tunnel. The Wakefield mines, situated on Four Mile creek, have been worked for the past six months of the year, and are under lease to Mr. F. Lane, of London, England ; five men were employed, 200 tons of ore shipped and 150 feet of tunnel run. Tlie Dardanelles has had three men employed for the last five months doing development work. The L. H. Group, situated on Red mountain, near Silverton, has had two men doing development work. This is a gold and copper proposition, giving high values in the former.

U ls. THE MINING REVIEWï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Saturday,-June. 13, 1903. The Mining Review. SATURDAY, JUNE 13,1903. - lhe political atmospheie at- the coast is rather calm. Premier McBride is getting affairs in shape for dissolution and an appeal to the country. The elections will not beheld untilaboutNo veuiber, but many parts of the province are preparing for the campaign. There are ruptures in both parties as a sequel of the late stormy session, but old sores are healing rapidly. Many of the old members at the coast declare they have had enough of provincial politics and will not seek re-election, f-'ome of them, from their past career, the provuf'te will be better off without, ami their decision to stay out of polities- paves the way for young aspirants of progressive ideas, which is what British Columbia needs. Viewing the two parties it appears to us that an election on straight party lines wou'd result-in a complete Conservative victory. The latter are uniting under their young leader, Richard McBride. The Conservatives are rallying under his standard to meet the wishes of the populace for the formation of staple government. Breaches in the ranks are bridged over, | the old leaders are submitting to the change of fate and forming into line. The recent petty squabbles will soon be forgotten with things of the past, and a solid front presented when the fight is on. The Liberals are torn by disselision and without a leader. Martin has resigned "to preserve harmony," nooneis appointed to succeed him, to avoid friction, and the party may go leaderless to the polls and to defeat. Martin is beyond question the smartest man in the Liberal camp. There is as little doubt on that score as in his ability to carry tlie country. The people do not want Martin to load and Martin himself will not be led. If another leader is appointed Joe will start on his own hook, and scrape up a following if only to cause trouble, and to avert this the Liberals hare decided to appoint none. In any event defeat stares them in the face. ment of a branch here. Mr. Scott, t he present, manager, has been as liberal in loaning money as in was consistent for him to be. He is merely under orders of other officials and had to secure all investments in the interest of. the bank. r Some may have found fault with his strict business methods', and went else.- where, but it must'be borne in mind, that in case of loss thu manager is responsible for the amount. As a manager, Mr. Scott is effluent in every respect, his only fault being probably a too zealous regard for the bank's welfare in time of depression. Tne Canadian Bank of Comiueice will shortly ope.ua branch at the new town of Morrissoy Mines, and at the end of the present month the office fixtures here will be forwaided to the Crow's Nest town. All accounts of the. Sandon branch after the Lstof July will be removed to Nelson. Some time may elapse before another is established here, there is li'.tle doubt the field will be long unoccupied. The Silver City is too good a point to be passed by, and with the many rich mines in operation, another bank will be sure to start up. A determined war between capital and labor is likely before long. Tho Western Federation of Miners intend staiting a crusade for an eight-hour day in connection with every deparmeni It will be seen by adyertisement in another column the Bank of Commei'< e will close its branch here on the 30th of June next. Considered in whatever light its removal will give Sandon a severe blow-to the surrounding country. The depressed condition of mining may have something to do with the. bank's removal, but even so there is plenty of other business to keep the in-1 stitution going. The Canadian Bank of j Commerce is the second in strength cf our staple Canadian banking concerns, and we prided ourselves on the establish-; When the life of Mrs. Ruff was hanging iu the balance she used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and was restored to health.

Toronto, Oat _j of mining and smelting throughout Canada and the United States. The federation recognizes the fact that the greater number of mine and smelter men are unorganized in this country and a general canvass will be made 'shortly. The present unorganized condition of the nion, the leaders fay, wiil not delay the strife. Already the men are going out at the smellers in the Western States and the fight is only beginning. In view of tho present depressed condition of niinii.g thr< iiyhont British Columbia, and the small number of men employed, we, are inclined 'o think the sensible members of the union will look with disfavor on the ! movement.' In the Slocan there are only between tin eft and four hundred men employed altogether, and what benefit they would derive by. going out in response to the edict, we fail to see. The few mines in operation are. meiely doing development and shipping to meet expenses only. There is nothing to pro- vent them closing down altogether and the men forced to go elsewhere.

The latter based his standpoint- on the ground of patriotism and that alone.

One to be Built Shortly in Vancouver by the lola Company. Thos. Jones, zinc buyer for th'c Io!a company was in Vancouver last week in connection with leasing' sonic properties on the coast and the building of a zinc refinery in that city. The following from tho Province will be read with interest, and shows that Mr. Jones moans business in tho zinc line: "A smelter or rcfinciy. cither term being applicable in the, present sense, for the reduction of zinc ores, is almost certain to be established within thecity limits of Vancouver within a very few months. Current goasip has it that work on the construction of the refinery is to be commenced within sixty days. At any rate the parties interested are at pteaent seeking a suitable site for the building?. Mr. Thos. Jones ol Sandon, ore buyer for the Tola Smelting & Reiining Co., of Iolo, Kansas, is the gentleman credited with engineering tho -establishment of the icfinery in Vancouver. At present the zinc ores of the Slocan district are shipped .to lola, Kansas, for reduction. Upon tho transportation cf these ore'' there is a rate of $11.50 per Ion. It is reported that with the establishment of a refinery here the C. P. H. will grant a rate from the Slocan to Vancouver lower than that-above quoted. During the past few days Mr. Jones, acting on behalf of his principals, has examined <i numberof sites which would be available for a refinery. It is not known that lie made a selection yet, and as he is absent from thecity ho could not be interviewed about.the matter." Besides arranging for the election of a zinc refinery, Mr. Jones has completed a deal whereby it is said he'has secured working bonds on three promising zinc properties located on Lynn creek, across the Inlet from Vancouver. The claims in question are owned by Messrs. Gideon Bower, Thomas Dunn and Harry Abbott, the property owned by tho last being held under a crown grant issued a number of years ago. -The basis of the deal is said ' to be that the owner9 be niven a royalty on all ore mined and refined, and that'the holders of the bonds have the option of purchase at the expiration of two years'. The question of the location of a zinc refinery in this city, which would treat the ore.s of British Columbia is not a now one by any means. It lias been dealt with on several occasions by the Board of Trade, but the apparent stumbling block to the erection of a refinery has been- the tarifl'of transportation charges on ore from the Slocan district. It would appear that, this problem has been solved by those interested in the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'projected reduction''works. 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ While it is the intention to treat tho ores of the Slocan in Vancouver, the refinery would not be dependent on' that supply, for with the development of tho properties on" Lynn creek a reserve of ore -'would bo-: created which could be drawn upon in casa labor troubles interfered with the Slocan supply."

JOHN NELSON Dated at Sandon thisSlh day of June 1903, Too Qrent a Risk. Iii almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could bo procured or physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and "relieved more pain aud suffering than any other medicine in ubc. It always can be depended upon.
