MINING NEWS OF
BIG. PLANT FOR HECLA.
Twenty Drill Compressor
Halal Uolng In.
and Large
Burke, Idaho, August 9. The Hecla
Miue, near here, on Canvon creek, in
the Coetir d'Alenes, which reently paid
Its first dividend of $20,000, has under
way extensive improvements. The
coin puny is putting in a plant for its
eventual operation at 3,500 feet depth.
This plant would include two 400-horse
power toilers a compressor plant with
a capacity of 20 drills and a hoist that
could operate the mine to the 2300-foot
level The installation of these im
provements has been under way for
some time. The large buildings for
the reception ot the plant are practical
ly completed the boilers and compressor
are on the ground and the work of put
ting them in place is going on rapidly.
It is expected (bat the entire new
plant will be in operation by fc'eptem
be i 1. In the meantime the work of
developing the mine is going forward
rapidly and about 1,000 tons of concen
trates a month are being shipped. The
main shaft in which the big hoist will
be operated is to be sunk to the full
2,500 feet, though operations will not
be confined to this work. The ore bod
ies will be opened and mined at the
successive levels as depth it attained.
TO OPERATE THE HEADLIGHT.
Ceeur d'Alene Property of Remnrhnhle
Promise to be Worked.
Wallace, Muho, August 9. The Head
light Mining Company will soon let a
contract for the running of a 600-foot
crosscut tunnel to tap its vein 400 feet
below the surface. The property lies
immediately west of the Mammoth and
covers the same vein. It will be
oned by a crosscut tunnel half way
up the mountain side from Canyon
creek to the cropping of the ledge, cut
ting about 1,500 feet west of the Mam
moth where there is a blow-out, indi
cating ore below. Ko work of conse
quence has ever been done on it, al
though ore has been found near the sur
face in two or Hire different places.
It has been held for years by some prospectors-
who were not willing to part
with it at any price which mining men
were willing to pay.
Iown Capital In Hoodoo.
Palouse, Wash., August 9. W.J.
Springer, of New Hampton, la., writes

ployed M. W. Truax as manager of the
mine and authorized him to begin work
at once and push development.
Mr. Truax put a double shift to
work and the property will be
thoroughly developed. The Blue Bird
is a copper property showing high
values, and now that capital has been
secured to develop it is expected to be'
come a valuable producer.
James Maione reports a rich strike

finest surface showings of galena ore
ever shown in the camp was uncovered.
It is from six to 18 inches across and
chunks of ore weighing hundreds of

PLANS FOR GOLDEN ZONE,
Capacity Will Soon Be 100 Tons of Ore
Dally.
Loomis, Wash., August 9. At the
Golden Zone plans have been com
pleted for increasing the rapacity of
the mill to 100 tous dailv. The neces
sary machinery has beeu ordered ami
the work of adding to the present mill
s fracture for its accomodation begins
at once. The Golden Zone is so
thoroughly opened np that it will be
able to supply the daily mill run with
a minimum force. Continuous (level
opment of the ore bodies will go stead
ily forward though there is more than
100,000 tons or ore in sight
The management proposes to increase
the capacity of the mill from its pro tit
until it can treat S00 tons daily. That
a mine of this character could in three
rears be brought to such high stage
of development, show quantities of ore
and be scarcely known outside of the
district tells the story ot the quality of
work being done at a dozen properties
in the Palmer Mountain district. Mill
runs up to date have averaged about
10 per ton, and thia is probably
good average of the mine.
Sllrer King Agnln Going.
Seattle, August 9. Captain Gifford
who has been appointed mine msnaget
of the reorganized Hall Mining ami
Smelting Comiany, proposes to justify
the faith which he has had in the Sil
ver King as one of the great mines of
British Columbia. He has an exten
sive program me of development mapped
out and within a short time be expects
to have 500 men at work in the com
pany's property. A small force will
go to the mine and get things in shape.
Klectrio power instead of steam power
may operate the mine machinery and
possibly the smelter.

siderable attention, and are regarded at
of considerable promise. There ia
well-defined quartz ledge on the La
coma. It averages about 20 inches
wide. A shaft has been sunk to a
depth of 25 feet. The foot wall is in
granite. Assay returns gave small
values in gold and copper and it ia ex
pected that they will improve with
depth.

STILL FAVOR, THE BUYER.
Trade Conditions Mot Warrant Any
tlrrnt Activity.
Bradatreet'a says: Trad oouditloua
still favor tb buyer; general fall ile
msnd, though fair in view o( the raid
summer couditlon, is still below expec
tation!, and below year ago; bunk
clearing are at th lowest for two
years past, and failures are slightly
more numerous, though no marked ten-
donates are perceptible. On th other
hand, gross railway earnings hold their
perceutsge of gain previously shown,
and where prices are mad low enough
to satisfy buyers, heavy business is
uucovered, and readily booked, point'
iug to demand being still present aurt
waiting disposal. The crop situation,
as a whole, is better: the outlook as to
corn ia lor- ft 2, 100,000,000-bushel
crop. Spring wheat is turning out
better in quality and quantity than ex.
peoted, and there has been an unques
tionable Improvement in cotton crop
conditions. The yield of apples will
be the largest in many years, and fruits
generally are yielding liberally and
commanding good prices.
The iron and steel industry furnishes
the most notable example of reduced
prices, iuduoiug a heavy business,
whii the outlook is still ft contused
one.
The cereals are all lower this week,
partly ou better crop reports, partly on
lower cables, but largely on the growth
of bearish feeling after the late re
action. Beef products are generally higher
on army demand, while tin is seekiug
n lower level in sympathy with foreign
markets and increasd supplies.

A CLEVER TRIOK,
How to Make a Hall Out of Hand
kerchief. It Is not very generally known how a
ball can be lu few minutes extem
porised out of an ordinary handker
chief. Tb trick Is, bowavtr, well
worth knowing. Inasmuch as w can
therewith perplex our friends as to
how It was done, as also submit th
result to them as ft pusle, It belug diffi
cult or (It It has beeu thoroughly done)

particular method.
As the first part of the process fold
your handkerchief as In Fig. 1; next
fold the points A, B, C, D, Inwards

ngalu to the center, and continue this
process as long as It Is possible; finally
bold the handkerchief thus folded lu
the left hand, keeping down th folds
In the center with the thumb.
Next with the thumb aud forefinger
of the right hand pluck at the sklu of
the roll you have now made till you
separate the sklu from th con
tents and draw the sklu toward you
nml towards the center, a shown In
Fig. 2, pushing the contents uwny from
you with the thumb of the left tin ml.
Pluck the skin again at a point ft little
further away from you than at first,
Mud again draw the skin and push the
contents as before. Coutlnue this pro
cess, turning the roll round io your
left hand, till the handkerchief begins
to form ft sort of whlrl)ool. Id which
J lie thumb of the left hand Is engulfed.
' It Is now easier to complete the work
!y making each successive plucking
u-arer to you Instead of further off,
though of course the drawing with the
right hand and the pushing with the
eft must be In the same directions as
before.
It will bo necessary also at Intervals
to knead it a little between the hand
In order to equally distribute the con
tents throughout the ball.
Continuing In this manner yon will
finally arrive at a very hard ball. Fig.

away from the contents and pushing
from you Instead of towards you with
the right hand forefinger and thumb,
while pushing the contents towards
you with the fingers of the left band.
Large sheets and even blankets and
counterpanes can be rolled up In the
same way; and I have beord story
of ft visitor at an hotel who, consider
ing himself badly treated, rolled up all
his bedclothes before his departure so
tightly that they could not be undone,
by way of revenge. The result, how
ever, falsified his expectations, for the
landlord, by displaying these curiosi
ties and charging a small sum on each
attempt to undo them, realized ft small
fortuue on the transaction!
Prejudiced.
Not exactly the right word, but
very expressive one, was that used by
i dilatory witness, a woman, who, says
the Kaunas City Journal, was brought
