HEWS AND GOSSIP OF
THE SLATE CREEK MINES
Eureka Group Sold to C. D. Lane of
California.
Seattle, June 14. News comes from
Ana ooi tea that work will be resumed
on a large scale on the Eureka group of
mines in the Slate Creek mining oamp,
which now belong to C. D. Lane, a
millionaire mining operator of Califor
nia. The final transfer to Mr. Laue
was effected in Anacortes a few days
ago. This is the property that some
years ago was under bond to Colonel
Hart for Montana parties. After spend
ing upward ot 50,000 they allowed
taer bond to lapse, but the owners,
having faith in tber property, continued
working it until about two years ago,
when a bond was made to Mr. Lane.
Almost Beady fur Operation.
The property is nearly ready for oper
ation. The tramway betweeu the mine
and the stamp mill must be finished.
The mill has 10 stamps of 1,100 pounds
each and is substantially constructed.
The property has a saw and shingle
mill and electric light plant. The
stamp mill was completed last fall and
found to work perfectly.
It is the intention to put in a roast
ing furnace as soon as supplies can be
shipped in this summer, to treat all
ores on the ground, instead ot shipping
concentrates. People who know the
property, say that it will develop into
a big mine.
TWO REPUBLIC MINES.
Active Work s the Quilp aad mm Ike
. Kaob Hill.
Republic, June 14. Work is ac
tive on the Quilp mine. The new ma
chine! y is . giving satisfaction. Two
drills are making about five feet per
day. The compressed air hoist is work
ing smoothly at the winse and good
progress will now be made in gutting
out the ore for shipping. The shaft
will be extended to the 800-foot level
before cross cutting. The ledge en
countered on this property has in
creased greater in width in proportion
to depth obtained in sinking than any
mine in the camp. In the tunnel it
measured 26 feet, at the 60-foot level
it was 80 feet wide, and at the 100-foot
level it was between 90 and 100 feet in
width. This is the largest body ore in
the camp and it is hard and clean.
At the 50-foot level there is 30 feet of
ore that will average $13 per ton. In
the lower levels the values are higher
somewhat. The new seven-drill com
pressor is in operation and the com
pany will be in a position to ship 200
tons of ore a day for an indefinite
period, if necessary. More men have
been put to work sloping in the tunnel
and each level. Thirty men are em
ployed. The survey has been completed for
the steam tram to be constructed up
the gulch, connecting the mines in the
vicinity for shipping to the mills.
The Quilp will furnish the new Repub
lic mill with at least 100 tons a day.
North of the Trade Dollar and east of
the Ben Hur is the Knob Hill, a prop
erty supposed to be valuable. A cross
cut tunnel has been extended in the
hill 540 feet, where the ledge was
struck, and the indications are now
that they have a fine property. A shaft
was sunk at the first where the vein
was found in place and an average of
values obtained of f 30 per ton at the
10-foot level. The tunnel level is 850
feet from the surface and there are now
three feet of fine looking quarts that
should run even higher than in the
shaft. A drift north and south has
been started on the ledge.
Good Washington Mine.
Spokane, June 14. A contract has
been let for sinking a 100-foot shaft on
the Rebecca and running 125 feet of
tunnel on the Rebecca extension.
These claims are owned by Sposkne
and Cheney parties. About 600 tons
ot ore are already on the dump and it
averages about 45 to the ton. Some
assays run as high as $200, mostly cop
per. The Rebecca and Rebecca exten
sion are located near the Columbia
river, about 16 miles from Keller,
Wash.
lsw Idaho Mining District
Grangeville, Idaho, June 14. A new
mining district has been organized
across Salmon river from this place,
called the Crooks Corral 1 district. The
boundaries of the new district are as
follows: Commencing at the bead of
Race creek, thence to Snake river,
thence to the summit of the divide at
the Larry Ott saddle (between Snake
and Salmon rivers), thence along the
divide to place of beginning.
Improving the Bine Jacket.
Cuprum, Idaho, June 14. Hoisting
machinery, pump and engine for the
Bine Jacket mine have reached the
property and will be rapidly installed.
Several cars of ore are ready for haul
ing to the railroad for shipment to the
Eastern smelter.
Gold Output This Tear.
Nome Probably $15,000,000.
Washington Rough estimate, $3,-
000,000.
Klondike Some ssy $18,000,000.
Others $25,000,000.
Oregon Rapidly increasing and this
year's output will reach close to $5,-
000,000.
Klondike's Gold Output.
Victoria, B. C, June 14. The first
crowd of Klondikers this season arrived
by the steamer Amur Saturday. Tbey
report that 200 miners have reached
Skagway. Sis steamers have passed
up the river.
The gold output is estimated by Daw-
ion papers at $18,000,000. News is
given of a stampede to the Koyukuk
and to Sulphur creek, gravel being
fonnd in the old channel which goes 60
cents to the pan. A nugget weighing
77 ounces was found on Chee Chako.
Looking for Coal, Gas or Oil,
Port Angeles, Wash., June 14. Ar
rangements have been completed by C.
Van Sickle, of New York, to drill here
for coal, gas or oil. He claims to rep
resent Eastern capitalists who are will
ing to spend $10,000 to determine
whether coal or oil can be found in
this vicinity.

THE MINING WORLD
THE ROSSLAND DISTRICT
New Owners of the Giant Take Hold
of the Property.
Rossland, B. C, June 14. The
water is being taken out ot the Grant
shaft in preparation Kir the resumption
ot siuking on the ore body. This
work is being done by A. I). Copleu
and W. Q. Armstrong, of Spokane,
the representatives of Philadelphia aud
Michigan capitalists, who have ob
tained control ot the company. The
new owners express confidence that
the Giant will make a niiue, atd are
willing to spend money to proving it.
They are the third party to make the at
tempt, the last being Colouel W. M.
Kill path, K. G. Sanders aud others of
the old Le Roi syndicate, from Spo
kane, but they threw up their bond
last April.
Other Canadian Mines.
Work is to be started on the N nth
em Belle, which adjoins the St. Kltno,
on Red mountain, by K. K. Palmer,
who has just returned from Moutreal,
where he received instructions from
the owners. There is a good showing
and it the summer's work cuuflrins its
value a plant will be installed in the
fall.
Andrew Drewey and others have
bonded the Sunset, near Whitewater,
in the Slocan, for $30,000. It adjoins
the Wellington aud a short extension
of the tunnel from that claim will tap
the vein at a dejpth ot 600 feet. The
vien is 13 feet in width, with 10 Inches
of high grade ore.
New Machinery In Frisco.
Gem, Idaho, June 14. New ma-
l chinory is being installed in the Frisco
mill here. One of the largest crushers
in the Northwest, weighing 15 tous,
I will be ready to start in a few days.
Struck a Pocket.
j F. M. Smith, who has been assisting
; Joseph Shepherd in prospecting a ledue
on Grubb creek, a tributary ot Sterl
' ing, informs the Medford, Or., Mail
that he and his partner took out a small
pocket last week from which they real
ised over $2? at the bank, and Mr.
Smith says the pocket is not by any
means exhausted. He says the pocket
' may prove to be a large one, as the
' same character of rock continues.
They will lose no time in going
down on the vein, which varies in site
from one to four feet aud all tuflivient
' ly mineralised to make it a fine paying
' proposition. The quarts is blue and
porous and all ol it carries more or less
free gold. The walls are granite aad
; porphry with cyanite and feldspar.
Work Is Itolng Pushed.
j Work is being steadily pushed at the
i Mountain Lion mine, in Southern Ore
' gon, owned by Bailey brothers, on
j Missouri flat, says the Rogue River
.Courier. The lower tunnel has now
i reached a length of nearly 400 feet, and
I it is expected that it will tap the ledge
i inside of 40 or 50 feet farther. Through
' out the whole course of this tunnel, the
, rock has been easily worked and not
so hard but that a good showing could
be made each day.
A flow of water almost sufficient to
run the mill is now coming from the
tunnel and it is expeeted that when the
; vein is struck, the tunnel will yield an
ample water supply for milling pur
j poses. The ore at this mine carries
hitjh values in gold, and the new tun
1 nel will open a large body of the ore.
i The mine is well equipped with a
good stamp mill and is one of the very
best properties in that section.
Two New Lodges Opened.
The placer district in Southern Ore
gon is showing up some very fine prop-
; erties. In addition to the valuable
: claims already under an advanced
state of development in the district and
which have been proved to be high
i grade and permanent, Paul Hcharing
I son is prospecting two new discoveries
which give promise of being no less
valuable than the Greenback or Brown
ing veins.
One of these ledges is seven feet
wide, and though the ore is not high
grade as far as prospecting baa yet
shown, still it is sufficiently mineral
ized for a milling proposition.
There is 350 feet of tunneling and a
70-foot shaft on the other ledge. This
vein is about 18 inches wide. Consid
erable money has been taken from this
ledge with an arastar.
Outlook Is Bright.
A correspondent at Geiser, Or., writ
ing to the Baker City Democrat, says
the mines of the Empire Mining Com
pany are looking fine and the company
is planning for the erection of a mill.
The White Elephant owners are go
ing to build very soon.
The Bonanza mine has plenty of
good ore for its 40-ntump mill.
A $312 nugget was picked up in the
placers of Austin, McMudre & Co., at
Wintetville, near here, the other day.
The owners of these claims expect to
clean up $26,000.
They are working a full crew on the
Black Bird and pushing development
as fast as possible.
With three or four mills in this camp
we will begin to have a day.
A new bank building is going op in
Coquille City, Or.
A scarcity of laborers is reported at

BETWEEN-SEASOMS DULLNESS.
Vet Trade, on Ike Whole, la Salle-
la.lury.
Bradstreets' says: Measured by re
ceut records and recollections ul busi
ness activity, the present between
seasons dulluvs seems specially mark
ed, and the teactiouary moveiueut of
pi ices makes trade look wurse than it
really is. Juditedby such indicators
as railroad tariffs aud statistics ot
foreign trade, the volume ol busiuess
doing is considerably larger than a year
ago, when, it will be recalled, trade
was cheerfully active. It is true bank
clearing are considerably smaller thau
l-t year's clearings, which undnbteilly
iucludnd much ol the speculative char
acter this year almost wholly alwut;
aud vet outside of the metropolis hauk
clearings are heavier this year thau
last.
Wool is dull, and, on the whole,
weak in the East, while good print's
have been secured iu the West. Man
ufacturers are not buying, because their
busiuess is not active, and lower rates
for the next lightweight season for
meu's wear goods are ptedioled, though
leadiug mill audita will gurautee
prices as late as October.
Lower prices lor iron and steel have
uot met expectations ot causing a re
duction in output aud increased stock,
though this latter feature apparently
has been mauified because supplies of
bih-grade pig iron are still scarce,
particularly at the South. On the
other hand, low grades are in pleutltul
supply, with little detnaud.
Kails and structural steel are still
well held, but there is talk of a leduo
tinti in prices for the latter product.
The other metals are dull, aud the
whole weak.

NO MORE THf GRAND MANNER
There Are No I.onaer tlenllemea ot
IMgnltv and HroedUg.
The "grand manner" lias gone frets
the world and the world seems llttl
put out at Its departure. Time was
when It was a tokeu at once ot breed
ing end education. Scholarship uu
adorned with It was held up to uaked
ecoru as naked pedantry; manners with
no touch of the grand air could uot
pass muster In ollt circles; literature
sew In It the sum and substance of Iti
Mug. It did duty for a wbole lexicon
of qualities, but Its outward aspect
was unmistakable, depending upon S
ery simple theory of society and hu
man life, If men are to wear honor
ami successes lightly, the background
of ease will wine Into prominence, and
they will study to amuse. And so came
that social flness which our great
grandmother adored, those bowing
and smirking which their grandchll
dren scoffed at. and the whole pleasing
science of the hen 11 monde.
The tear of sensibility tuny be drop
pod over It tomb, but there can I no
question of It revival. The most Its
admirer can do Is to rite the history
of Its floruit. It belonged to an age
when wealth, leisure, culture and all
the good thing of life were confined
to a class, and It drooped and with
ered at the advent of democracy. Our
modern seriousness and our modern
businesslike nlr killed It. and they
chose the crudest of weapon. It might
have survived frank opiMwItlonj It
could not endure being made to look
ridiculous.
Hut with the ruhblsh went much Hint
wn silinlrsl.lt. At Its best this grand
manner meant an etulierant vitality, s
genuine test for life. It exponents
might full, but they failed Ksllsnllr
tt all worked out to s kind of Inteusi
self-respect, which might be ludicrous
but vs rarely Ignoble.
Most great men have been many aid
ed. but with the gentlemen of th
grand air It was a social duty, and at!
trace of the process must be hlddei
from sight.
Msraell was almost the last of the
"grand manner" disciples, and the
abuse of hi 111 which was current fof so
long shows how people had come to re
gard the affectation. For an affects,
tlon It was, though a charming and
sometimes s noble one. Versatility can
never lie abolished, but s pretense of
ease and Insouciance and n parade of
diver accomplishments may easily lie
discredited. The splendid Impassive
nes of the great gentleman has sue
cumbed to modern worry and haste,
sutl for the most part we frankly con
fees that dlgulty I a nuisance and an
anchroiilsiu. Hut the other side of the
thlng-tlie taste for a liberal culture
shows signs of revival and we may sr
a return to the grnnd manner, brought
up to dnte and purged of Us sllllue.
