If reports from Pittsburg are correct Ilie smelting and refininu problem in likely to be solved by a discovery said to have been lately made. Successful experiments bave been made w iib the new process, which amelts and refines at the i aame tune. The Pitt sbuig Post has the j following to say in regard to It. "A lar^e number Of, melting and ore re- .filing companies throughout the country bave been interested in the discovery made by a physician and chemist which promises to revolutionize the present methods of reducing all high grade metallic ores, and reducing the co<t am well as time required for this work down to a matter of minutes. The process has been quietly tested iu several Pills bum plants during the past lew months, aud in each case has proved fully up to all the claims made for it. In the interim a number of Pittshurgers whute names are for the present wiih-hcld have been preparing to organise and secure a chatter lor the coutrul uf the new process. "The chemical discovery that has been finally mnde public was developed bj some yeais of Eludy by a Dr. Miller, a man advanced in years, whose home ia iu Ihe vicinity of Mt. Pleasant. His experiments with his composition, which is called a "flux," developed the fact that by mixing it with asbestos aud pli-.i'iim it in a ciucilile wiih raw ores, the heat produced is so intense that ihe asbestos becoiiu-s liquified. The action of the flux and ust'eatos upon the ore is almost instantaneous. Iu loity minutes thu removal ol the dross from the top of tbe OTUicible shows the pure copper', lead, silver or «..-ld beneath. "^Practical tcbls havo been conducted with a koimI ileal of secrecy at the mills of the Fox Copper and Bronze Company, and in tbe mill of Macintosh, Hemphill A Co. The results of these testf have shown that the reduction of tho oies placed in lhe crucibles has been almost complete* In its action the flux rcmo\es over OS per cent of the metals from the crude ores, without any prior crushiug Tins lias never been possible helore in lhe history of mining. The specimens uf copper and other metals that have been taken irom the chemical baths are declared to be absolutely pure and iu need of uo further treatment, while the actual operation of reducing them has averaged about forty minim;; to tbe charge. "Another feature of tho experiments that has developed is the peculiarly free action ol the metals where the ores that are used are of a compound character—containing two or more metals. In such cases the new process has caused the various forms of metal lo sink to the bottom ot the crucible, the heaviest flndiug a place at the bottom and the next heaviest resting above it. Three and four different metals have thus been found in layers after the dross has beeu removed from ihe molten mass and the crucible allowed to cool. The cost of lhe material for iis manufacture Can lie gained, ehemis.s will not commit themselves regarding the practicability of the process for commercial purposes. The inventor claims that the formula is a very cheap one and the cost will unl Interfere wilh the commercial value in the least. ••From several chemists connected with the copper minea in the Northwest, letters havo been received concerning the new pn cess and all urge most vigorous study of the matter, believing It will prove one of tbe greatest factors in future mining of all bigb grades of ore. oooooooo SLOCAN LAKE ORE SHIPMENTS. Shipments of ore from Slocan Lake for thuyear 1899. totaled 3078 Tons. Shipments in 1900 totaled 4930 Tons.

The sprirg break-up ol our roads has n.w commenced and ore hauliug will have to be suspended until the roads are repaired and hauling can be resumed wilh wagons. On Tuesday lhe Hewett mine sent out. a ihirtv ton car of oie to the Hall Mines smelter at Nelson. This brings the shipments from tbis mine since thc first of the year up to 453 tons. Tho lower tunnel on the Bosun is now well into the lediie and the ore-chute is expected to be cut at any time. The report of a big strike in this tunnel is a viry much exaggerated piece of news. A concentrating plant is to be erected at once for tl.e reduction of the ores of the Enterprise mine on Ten Mile creek. The contract has been let for the heavy timbers for tho building and the framing of them will soon commence. The No 4. tunnel at tbe Emily Edith mine is now in over 600 leet and the striking nf tho main ledge is looked f- r st any time. It was in this tunnel thai a blind vein was cut which carries a paystreak of very rich silver ore.

Those who have control of the experiments that have lieen made decline lo discuss the details of the process for the present, but admit that tlie formation of a company is going on, and that negotiations (or the control or use of tlie process have beeu begun with them by several mining coopanies. "One of the chemists connected with the Carnegie Steel Company stated that if the flux will liquify asbestos it certainly has remarkable powers, Asbestos was known to thu Greeks us the "burning stone," but this term had always lieen regarded by modern sclent e as mythological. The theory that asbes- to8 was practically impruvious to heat of any degree has never once' been doubted until this discovery was made. It is now believed that the Greek term was due to the fact that they believed that if asbestos was once ignited successfully it would never cease burning.

Carman, the American contractor, who with his partner, Theodore Oarranza, a Spanish merchant, was arrested February 6, charged with furnishing supplies to aid tlie insurgents. The evidence against Caiman is accumulating. A dispatch from La Paz, Peru, says that the overflow of the river has caused the iundation of the city and the destrue tion of bridges. The electric light system has been disabled and the city has been in darkness for two nights. Many Uvea have been lost and the damage will aggregate $1,000,000 iBolivian money).

Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii has scored a distinct triumph in securing a unanimous vote of the house commmlt- tee on elections confirming his right to a seat ln the house of representatives and holding that, the charges filed against him were not sufficient to warrant his removal. George W. Brlentnall, who died recently at Lancaster, Pa., was one of the famous soldiers of the rebellion. When scarcely more tlian 15 years old he enlisted as a drummer boy. At the battle of Shiloh he displayed remarkable coolness and ,bravery and was afterwards known by the sobriquet "The Drummer of Shiloh."

Canal Dover, O., Feb. 17.—Forty miners were imprisoned for four hours in a burning mine at Lindentree, near here. The fire was started by an explosion of a barrel nf gasoline, which set fire to the timbers in the mouth of the mine. Egress was shut off and the mine, filled with smoke. For four hours the 40 men earned water in their tin buckets and threw it upon the flames. In the meantime a rescuing party had been organized' in the village and fought the flames from the outside- All were finally rescued without being injured. Cement of Washington. Calispell, Wash., Feb.. 18.—A syndicate of foreign capitalists, represented by F. U. Gordon of Kngland, has secured about WW acres of land near lone and contemplates the immediate erection of several plants for manufacturing a variety of products. Tlie principal enterprise at first will be the starting up of a cement plant with a capacity of 100 tons daily, and some estimate of its extent may be had from the amount of cordwood contracted for in the llrst order. The order is for 3000 cords, by far the largest ever placed in this locality. "■ __'•''' ''•' " Solution of Controversy. Washington, Feb. lB_H$fj»tor., Hd*. chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, has introduced a bill for the revival of the grade of vice admiral in the navy, und authorizing the president to appoint to rear admirals to that office.

II.-Iiik Developed —A Prosperous Year Is Predicted— Mining Notes and Personals. The Spokane stock exchange has decided to adopt a uniform schedule of commissions. The scale has not yet been decided upon, but the matter ts in the hands of the executive committee and will be brought up shortly. • Republic. The Republic mill ls receiving custom ore. All work on the Princess Maud is being done at the 300 foot level below the tunnel level. The Republic mill is now ready for shipments from the other mines of the camp, but the rate is still kept a secret. Superintendent Thomas* *.. Dexter is up from the Georgie Reed and reports the shaft that ls being sunk on the ledge to be 55 feet deep and that fairly good progress is being made. The machinery plant of the California bas been put ln commission. Sinking is being continued and the ledge explored on the upper level. Shipments continue steadily and the high grade ore will go to Trail. The Chico compressor is being overhauled and everything at the mine ls being prepared for active work with the machine drills. The plant will probably start up with a full crew about February 20. It is reported that there is a strong probability that the Volunteer mine will soon pass into new hands, as the parties who inspected it a short time ago are said to be well pleased with lt and thus reported to their eastern associates. The men who have been working for some time on the property of the Aeneas Valley Gold Mining company have returned to Republic. They brought a large quantity of fine looking ore obtained in crosscuttjng the ledge. The ore Is silver-lead and an assay of an average sample across 10 feet of the ledge went: Gold, 80 cents; silver, 46.80 ounces; and lead, $24.50, a total of $72.- 10 per ton. The property lies about 14 miles of the mouth of the west fork of the San Poil river and about the same distance southwest of Republic. When women get their rights they will send their husbands to war as their substitutes. All the lumbermen of Idaho are being organized. BRITISH < 1(1,1 MIHA. The well known Paradise, in the Windermere district, is working 22 men. It ls stated that the Rembler-Cariboo is rapidly becoming one of the greatest properties in the province. Owing to the non-arrival of coal shipments the blowing in of the Greenwood smelter was delayed some time. Work on the Soho group, in the McGuigan basin, Slocan, is reported to be proceeding in a satisfactory manner. L. A. Thurston, a well known mining man of Nelson, has just taken an option on the Iron Horse group, situated in the city limits of Rossland. The amalgamation of the Kilo and Chapleau group on Lemon creek, in the Slocan division, which was anticipated a short time ago, seems assured. Reports from Tracey creek, ln the Fort Steele district, East Kootenay, are to the effect that the tunnel on the Stanley is ln 65 feet. It ls expected that the lead wil be encountered in about 15 feet. The first heater and purifier for the use of mines in the Boundary country, to utilize mine water for steam making purposes, has recently been Installed at the Old Ironsides. The Granby smelter at Grand Forks commenced operations on August 21 last and up to February 1 had treated 81,000 tons of ore, which produced 2700 tons of 50 per cent matte, valued at $500,000. There appears to be every evidence that the new owners of the Greenwood- Phoenix Electric tramway charter, whoever they may be—for the public has so far received no Intimation—are about to start operations. At Camp McKinney there ls a remarkable showing of quartz in the Waterloo that runs from $19 to $388 at a depth of 120 feet. On the second level there ls flve feet of solid quartz in the east drift. The mine never looked better, and values are richer with depth. Another dividnd of 5 per cent has been announced by the Ymlr Gold Mines, Limited. This is, however, only an interim dividend, and it Ib probable that a larger one will be announced at the annual meeting in the latter part of March. The St. Eugene mine started up with a full force recently and the concentrator was to have started up at the same time, but owing to the cold weather, the water supply being snort, lt wll not commence operations until the weather moderates. The Sliver Belt group on Toby creek, In the Windermere district, has been the si-mic of a large amount of development work during the past four months. It is reported that there Is eight feet of good ore ln a ledge running parallel with the main ledge. Rumors were afloat and some of them seemed-from authentic sources, that the Canadian Pacific railway had leased to C. R. Hosmer, George Gooderham and T. G. Blackstock, the three principal owners of the War Eagle, Centre Star and St. Eugene mines, the Trail smelter. Another mining deal of importance has been put through ln Slocan section, making the fifth since the opening of the new year. The pn_.perty.to change hands this time ls the well known Republic group on Erin mountain, two miles from town. David Sutherland and Tom Montgomery were the owners, having held the claims for nearly two years. Embraced ln this group are the Republic, American Eagle, Bonanza and Bell. In view of the rumors circulating In the east of late to the effect that the War Eagle mine might close down, and that the deal for the purchase of the Trail smelter had fallen through, the secretary of the War Eagle company recently asked the Toronto World to contradict these rumors. He added that the deal for the purchase of the smelter by the Gooderham-Blackstock syndicate is progressing favorably and that the development of the War Eagle mine goes on apace. Paul Hauck and J. Altchison, the lessees of the Bondholder at Slocan, have received the returns from their last shipment to the Nelson smelter. The figures are even higher than the previous car and establish a record. Altogether 10% tons of ore was in the car, realizing 235 ounces of silver and 0\i per cent lead per ton. The net receipts from the smelter, after paying freight and treatment charges, were $2400. The previous car gave 224 ounces and the first one 217, so the ore is steadily Improving. 'at war over tariffs. I * HiimsIu Itetnllutes on Our Action—She Will Increase Our Duly on Import* —A Grave Crisis Is lleiu.lie.l-ls lip tu the Americans. MINIM; WOTFt. The Lakeview tunnel, on Mount El- leham, near Loomls, Wn., is in 265 feot. A good paying coal vein has been discovered at Ben Lomond, near Los Gatos, Cal. Capital for the purpose of developing the coal resources of Utah is pouring into that state. A new company has secured the Gold Hug group in Pierre Lake district and will develop It extensively. Mining matters in Norwegian gulch, in Madison county, Montana, are quite lively for this time of the year. In the Cascade mountains, just east of Snohomish, Wash., a new and large deposit of coal has been found. The state of Idaho is just now much agitated over passing equitable and just laws concerning the taxation of mining property, real and personal. A contract has been let by the Globe Goldfleld company of Seattle for a 200 foot tunnel on the company's property on Flat creek, Stevens county, Wn. It Is rumored that the Oregon Short Line anl Union Pacific railway companies were considering building a branch into Idaho to be known as the Custer Une. The Syndicate mine on Gold creek, near Kendrick, Idaho, has passed into the hands of Seattle people and the name of the property has been changed to the Jericho. Encouraging reports from the Big Iron, on Flat creek, Stevens county, Wn., about 12 miles from Northport, have been received at the office of the company, the Big Iron Consolidated Mining company. Some rich ore is being taken out of the Palmer mountain tunnel. It was encountered in drifting and is speckled with free gold. Picked specimens run up Into the thousands, while the general average Is high. Mr. Coulter states that a great deal of development work has been done on the Ajax In Dixie section, the property having been opened on two levels. He says that an excellent body of ore has been exposed and that It averages from $15 to $20 in gold, nearly all of which is free. At Loomis, Wash., the Copper World lead has been crosscut and found to be 15 feet wide. The appearance of the ore Indicates that it will carry good gold and copper values. The tunnel is 225 feet long and cut the vein at a depth of 100 feet. Assays out of a 30 foot shaft gave from $30 to $60 In gold and copper, and the ore In the tunnel seems to be much superior. Sixty-five coal miners are Imprisoned ln No. 6 shaft of the Cumberland coal mine on Vancouver island. The only exit ls the mouth of the shaft, which is filled with a huge volume of flame. There is considered to be no possibility for the unfortunates to escape. Details of the disaster are meagre. The Cumberland mine Is near the village of Union, about 60 miles north of the town of Nanaimo. The new concentrator being built by the Empire State-Idaho Mining ft Development company at the mouth of Government gulch, two miles below Kellogg, Idaho, ls nearing completion. The machinery of one side Is all In place, but It will be probably May before It will commence work, owing tC the railroad which will haul tho ore not being completed. Work Is still ln progress on lt, but the laying of steel will not commence earlier than the first of next month, and lt may be even later. The heavy work on the new Mammoth ore bins at Wallace, Idaho, ls all done, although it will be a month yet before they ore completed. This Is because there will be a wait for the steel lining. It was only ordered from the factory a week ago, but by the time it comes there will be nothing to. do except to put lt In, and should the ledge be cut before that, the bins will be temporarily lined with lumber, which will last until the steel Is In place. The building Is 30x60 feet ln size and the bins are calculated to hold 30 carloads of 50 tons each, being about, twice as large as any other ln the Coeur d'Alenes. Bt. Petersburg, Feb. 18.--M. De Witte, minister of finance, has issued a decree regarding the application of the increased tariff to certain imports from the United States. The decree is based upon the first paragraph of article ti'2S of the customs statute. The measure will become effective a fortnight after ils promulgation. "* C'asslnl 1 nm of It. Washington, Fob. 18.—Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, this evening received a cablegram from the Riiosian foreign office continuing the report of the issue of the decree imposing increased dunes on certain American imports into Russiu, and took steps to infei'in the state department accordingly it is realized unit a grave crisis has been reached in the trade relations of the United States and Russia, 'lhe immediate ell'eet of tlie Russian decree, when ii becomes operative ou Maicii j 1) will be to increase by 50 per cent tiie duty on American machinery, sleel and iron goods. These goods already enjoy i two separate reductions, 30 per cent bcin; taken oil from the general and 20 p&! oent from the conventional duties. Tht I articles referred to in the Russian decree are machinery and tools of every kind, manufactures and products of east iron and steel. Roughly staled, the United I States is said, to have exported goods ol I this description to Russia last year to j the amount of about $30,000,0011. 'The addition of 60 per cent to the duty will, it is thought, prove practically prohibitory. j The action taken means that the Russian government will not concern itself I with a test case nor await the issue of such a case. However, there is an expectation that the American importers of Russian sugar will make thc light in their own interests. Some im-goes of Russian sugai are now afloat and on the way to the United States, where at least one is due lo arrive in the next 10 days. It is not doubted that the consignees in the United States will, rather than pay the counter vailing duty, which would make it ini]Kis sib.e to compete with other sugar, make up a test ease. The text of the Russian order is as follows: "An order of the Russian minister ol finance directs additional tariff of 30 per cent net on articles included in para graphs l.">0, 151, 152, 153 and 1(11, and section 2, discriminating tariff upon Ameii- e.in hardware, iron, steel, boilers, pipes. forgings, eastings, tools, gas and water meters, dynamos, sewing machines; also paragraph 107 of the Russian tariff laws, when such articles are of American manufacture. This Includes motors and machinery of all kinds." Qnlck Action. Bt. Petersburg, Feb. 18.—Ilie finance minister, M. DeVS'itte, lias proved his ability to hit quick and hard. He wus evidently prepared for reprisals before At-re- tary Uige took final action. M. IX'Witte sent to the senate for puhlimtion an ordinance levying 80 per cent increased duty on the most important American imports into Russia. The ordinance was published today in the Official Messenger and becomes effective March 1. This action is greatly regretted in American circles, and Americans anticipate much harm therefrom. Well infonned Americans do not believe the supreme co'urt will sustain the claim that Russia pays a bounty on sugar, directly or indirectly, and regard the action taken as hasty, though not unexpected. It is believed that little liunii would have resulted to Russian interests if the action of the court had been awaited. Metal Report.

The first nearh equalled the latter and was composed of Chinese, who if they had stayed at home and helped mako a (ierniaii holiday miuht huve saved Canadians from somo day turning Boxers, The second, a class of serfs, downtrodt'en for years in their native land and Buffering with peculiar religious beliefs, will in time become good and loyal Canadians, happy and prosperous und perhaps rich enough to be able lo send out missionaries amongst the other Canadians and thus spread iheir religious views.
