NEWS AND GOSSIP OF
THE SLATE CREEK MINES
Eureka Group Sold to C. D. Lane of
California.
Poattlo, .luno 14. Xows comon from
Anacottcs that work will bo resumed
on a largo scalo on tho Ktireka group of
mines in tho Slate Creek mining camp,
which now belong to C. D. Lane, n
millionaire mining operator of Califor
nia. Tho final transfer to Mr. Lane
was effected In Anacortes a few days
ago. This is tho property that some
years ago was under bond to Colonel
Hart for Montana purlieu. Aftor spend
ing upward of .$50,000 thoy allowed
ther bond to lunse. but tho owners.
having faith in ther property, continued
working it until about two ycurs ago,
.whoii a bond was mado to Mr. Laue.
Aliiin.t llfiuly fur Opnrntloii.
Tlio property Is nearly ready for oper
ation. The tramway between tho mine
and tho stamp mill must bo finished.
Tho mill has 10 stamps of 1,100 pouti''
inch and is substantially constructed
Tho property has a saw and slilnclo
mill and electric light ulniit. The
etamp mill was completed last fall and
found to work perfectly.
It is tho intention to put in a roast
ing furuaco as soon as supplies can bo
shipped in this summer, to treat all
ores on tho ground, instead of shipping
concentrates. Peoplo who know tho
property, say that it will develop into
a big initio.
TWO REPUBLIC
MINES.
Active Work mi tlm Qullp unit on the
Knob UIU.
Republic, Juno 14. Work is ac
tivo on the Quilp mino. Tho new ma
chinery is giving satisfaction. Two
drills aro making about five feet per
day. The compressed air hoist is work
ing smoothly at the winze and good
progress will now be made in getting
out the ore for shipping. The shaft
will be extended to tho 800-foot level
beforo 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 tho tunuol it
measured 20 feet, at the 50-foot lovel
it was 80 foot wide, and at tho 100-foot
lovel it was between 00 and 100 feet in
width. This is tho largest body ore in
the camp und it is hard and clean. I
At the 50-foot levol there is SO feet of
ore that will average $13 per ton. In
the lower levels tho values are higher
somowhut. The new seven-drill com-,
pressor is in operation and tho com
pany will be in a position to ship 200 (
tons of oro a day for an innelinite
period, if necessary. Moro men have
been put to work s'topiug in tho tunnel j
ami eacn level, iiuiiy men uiu cm
ployed. The survey has D9on completed for
the steam tram to be constructed up
the gulch, connecting tho mines in the
vicinity for shipping to the mills. I
Tho Quilp will furnish the new Repub-1
lie mill with at least 100 tons a day. i
North of the Trade Dollar and east of
the Hen Hur is tho Knob Hill, n prop
erty supposed to bo valuable. A cross
cut tunuol has been extended in tho
hill 540 feet, whero tho ledgo was
struck, and tho indications aro now
that they have a fine property. A shaft i
was suuk at the first where the vein '
was found in place and au average of
valuos obtained of $30 per ton at the ;
10-foot levol. Tho tunnel level is 850
feet from the surface and thero are now
threo feet of lino looking quartz that
should run oven higher than in tho
shaft. A drift north and south lias
been started on tho ledge.
Good AVimlilnetun Mine.
Spokane, June 14. A contract has
been lot for sinking a 100-foot shaft on
the Robocca and runuiug 125 feet of

New Owners of the Giant Take Hold
of the Property.
Rossland, P. C, Juno 14. The
water is being taken out of tho Grant
shaft in preparation for the resumption
of sinking on tho oro body. This
work is boing done by A. D. Coplen
and W. G. Armstrong, of Spokano,
the representatives of Philadelphia and
Michigan capitalists, who havo ob
tained control ot tho company. The
now owners express confidence that
tho Giant will tnako a mine, arid aro
willing to spend monoy to proving it.
They are tho third party to inako tho at-
tempt, the last being Colonel W. M
I Ridpath, E. G. Sanders and others of
tho old Lo Roi syndicate, from Spo
I kane, but thoy threw -up their bond
Inst April.
Other Cannillan Mine.
V. ork is to bo started on tho North
ern Belle, which adjoins tho St. Elmo,
on Red mountain, by H. E. Palmer,
who has just returned from Montreal,
where he received instructions from
tho owners. There is a good Bhowing
and if the summer's work confirms its
value a plant will bo installod in the
fall.
Andrew Drowey and others havo
bonded tho Sunset, near Whitewater,
in the Slocan, for $30,000. Itradjoins
tho Wellington and a short extension
of the tunnel from that claim will tap
the vein at a dejpth of 000 feet. The
vien is 13 feet in width, with 10 inches
of high grade ore.
New Machinery in FrUco.
Gom, Idaho, Juno 14. New ma
chinery is being installed in the Frisco
mill here. Ono of the largest crushers
in the Northwest, weighing 15 tons,
will be ready to start in a few days.
Struck a rocket.
F. M. Smith, who has been assisting
Joseph Shepherd in prospecting a ledae
on Grubb creek, a tributary ol Sterl
ing, informs tho Medford, Or., Mail
that ho and his partner took out a small
pocket last week from which they real
ized over $27 at the bank, and Mr.
Smith says the pocket is not by any
means exhausted. He says the pocket
may prove to be a largo one, as the
samo character of rock continues.
Thoy will lose no time in going
down on the vein, which varies in size
from one to four feet and all sufficient
ly mineralized to make it a fine paying
proposition. The quartz is blue and
porous and all of it carries more or less
free cold. The walls are granite and
porphry with cyanlte and feldspar.
Work la Heine Puihed.
Work is being steadily pushed at the
Mountain Lion mine, in Southern Ore-
con, owned by Bailey brothers, on
Missouri flat, says the Rogue River
Courier. Tho lower tunnel has now
reached n length of nearly 400 feet, and
it is expected that it will tap tho ledge
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
bo made each day.
A How of water almost sufficient to
run the mill is now coming from tho
tunnel and It Is oxpeeted that when tho
vein is struck, the tunnel will yield an
ample water supply for milling pur
poses. The ore at this mino carries
high values in gold, and the new tun
nel will open a large body of the ore.
The mine is well equipped with a
good stamp mill and is one of the very
best properties in that section. ,
Two New I.edos Opened.
Tho placer district in Southern Ore
gon is showing up some very fine prop
erties. Iu addition to tho valuable
claims already under an advanced
state of development in tho district and
which have been proved to bo high
grado and permanent, Paul Scharing
sou is prospeoting two new discoveries
which give promise of being no less
valuablu than tho Greenbaok or Brown
ing voins.
One of these ledges is soven feet
wide, and though the ore is not high
grade as far as prospecting has yet
shown, still it is sufiloiontly mineral
ized for a milling proposition.
There is 350 feet of tunneling and a
70-foot shaft on the otlior lodge. This
vein is about 18 inches wide. Consid
erable monoy has been taken from this
ledge with au arastar.

BETWEEN. SEASONS DULLNESS.
Yet Trade, on the Whole, II BMI
fn.torr. Bradstreets' says: Measurod by ro
cont records and recollections of busi
ness activity, tho present botween
seasons dullness seems spoolally mark
ed, and the reactionary movoment ot
prices makes trodo look worse than it
really Is. Judged by such Indicators
as railroad tariffs and statistics ol
foreign trade, the volume of business
doing is considerably largor than n year
ago, when, it will bo recalled, trade
was cheerfully activo. It is true bank
clearings aro considerably smaller than
last year's clearings', which undobtcdly
included much of the speculative char
acter this year almost wholly absent;
aud yet outside of the metropolis bank
clearings aro heavier this year than
last.
Wool is dull, and, on tho wholo,
weak in tho East, while good prices
have been secured in tho West. Man
ufacturers aro not buying, because their
business is not active, and lower ratei
for the next lightweight season, for
men's wear goods are predicted, though
leading mill agents will gurantee
prices as late as October.
Lower prices for irgn and steel have
not met expectations of causing n re
duction in output and Incrensod stock,
though this latter feature apparently
has been magnified because supplies oi
high-grade pig iron are still scarce,
particularly at the South. On the
other hand, low grades are in plentiful
supply, with little demand.
Rails and structural steel are still
well held, but there is talk of a tednc
tion in prices for the latter product.
The other metals are dull, and thf
vhole weak. '
