MINES OF THE NOR i HWEST
IRONDALE WORKS SOLD.
! Into Mm llninU (if Mr. Hill, Mm
llri'iit Niiitlnirii King.
I'ort Towiiecnd, Sopt. 10. Tim nn
nouncod sail) of tho Irondalo iron fur
unco to nn agent of James J. Hill,
which is mid to Imvo tnkon place at
San I rancisco, September 1, has caueed
no little comment here. Whether it
means the starting up of tho plant
ngniii, or whether the property has
been purchased nieiely for the water
frontage and other purposes is a ques
tion of debate.
For the past year negotiations for
tlie salo of the plant hnve gone for
ward. Tho deal was to havo included
yaluahlu iron deposits on Toxada isl
and, II. C., but the ownors of the lat
ter ptopurty, tho I'uget Sound Iron
Company, which is composed of tho
stockholdeis of tho Irondulo property,
refused to disposo of tho island iron
mines, so tho furnace machinery and a
largo amount of land nt and near Iron
dale wus sold without the iron mines
in British Columbia.
On tho lauds included in tho dual,
but lying some miles from the furnace
nt Irondulo, are valuable iron deposits
and ore from the mines thero was used
in connection with Texada ore during
tho time the furuaco was in oporatiou.
-Tho combining of the two ores mado ex
cellent iron, and a huge amount of it
whb used in the construction of the
crusier Charleston, built by the Union
Iron Works.
There are other valuable deposits of
irou in Jefierson conuty, in the Olym
pic mountains, bordering ou Hood
canal, mid easy of access to the Iron
dalo works. These iron deposits have
been thoroughly prospected by experts
during tho past six years, who woro
here in tho interest of Mr. Hill, nnd
the belief bore is that tho works at
Irondalo will bo put in operation again.
The iron works, including machinery,
cost 7BO,000, but nt present are not
worth half that, nud to put the furnace
iu operation again would require an
expenditure of $200,000. The hot
oven is a wieck, the stack out of date,
the air compressor being about all tho
machinery that could be utilized to ad
vantage. It is doubtful if the woiks
will be run ngniu ns n smelting plant,
but the purchase of the property may
bo with n view of putting in a ship
building plant.
Dr. II. C. Willison, one of tho
stockholders, who returned from San
Francisco n few days ago, when seen
a bom the sale of tlio property, said lio
had not before heard of the deal being
closed, but admitted that agents were
negotiating for the works. He also
said one of the men representing Mr.
ilill passed through Seattle, August
24, on his way to San Francisco, nnd
the deal might hnve been consummated
September 1 ns reportod.
Some of the finest wnter frontnge on
I'ort Townseud bay lies at Irondalo
It is securely sheltered from all storms,
nnd tho water is of a depth of from
eight fathoms at the shore to I!
fathoms iu the centoi of the bay. Tho
place lies about seven miles up the bay
from this city.

Baker City, Or., Sept. 10. Attorney
I. J. Banuon, formerly of Portland,
now as practical control of the Yah
Auda property on Olive creek. At tho
execution sale, hold in Canyon City,
he bid in the pioperty for $700 in the
interest of the judgment creditois. As
only four of tho six claims constitut
ing the Van Auda group were levied
upon, tho deficit of judgment, amount
ing to $400 will havo to bo met by the
salo of the remaining two claims.
William Turner, one of the original
ownors of the Van Auda, has hopes of
raising the mouoy necessary to redeem
the property bofore tho timo of redemp
tion oxpircs. It is also understood he
will tnko up the building improve
ments, which were some time ago sold
as personal property oil execution.
This mine at oue time ranked us a vnl

About $1,200 worth of development

In h Ills- I'lHllt.
Wallace, Idaho, Sopt. 10. The
Standard Mining Company is putting
in n new air compressor nud electric
plant nt the mine. The foundation is.
completed and tome o f thu mechinery
is on the ground. The new compressor
will have a capacity of 50 drills, the
present being only of 15 drills. Jii
putting it in the company is looking
far into tho future. The 15-drill com
pressor is nearly large enough ut pres
ent, and the company does not desire
to work over 20 drills if thoy had even
so much power, but to put in such a
compressor would only mean the addi
tion of still nnother new plnnt n'uiost
before this one would be running, so
it wns decided while the change was,
being made to got a machine that
would bo largo enough to do the work
for years to como.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
.nbor Conditions Affectinc Huslnes In
the Knit.
It, G. Dun & Co.'s weekly rovlew of
trade says:
Tho volume of business does not ma
terially enlarge nt tho East, nnd tbera
is only modernti improvement nt the)
West and South, but if oxpeotntlons of
greater activity whon politics oeaao to
disturb are roallzed, current operation
will be found to have laid n substantial
foundation. Tho most important event
of the weok in the industrial world wna
the ngreomeut on the tin plate wage
scalo with the amalgamated associa
tion, granting about 8 per cunt advance
to 35,000 iinnds long idlo.
Prices of grain nre little altered,
good crop reports coming in freely, but
tho effect is being neutralized by tha
foreign estimate of a world'a crop be
low requirements.
Bnsinoss in iron nnd stool products
steadily increased, and mills are mora
nctively employed. October 1 is men
tioned as tho probable date of a general
resumption,
ItnilroadB hnve lefased to make re
ductions in freight rntos, which it wnsr
hoped would increase exports.
Last week's shipments of boots nnd
shoes from Boston wero only 70,345
enses, against 71,277 in the previous
week, and for the year thus far tho de
crease, compatcd with 1800, has
amounted to 264,315 cases.
Sales of wool at the throe chief East
ern markets declined to 2,833,000
p:unds, against 4,234,700 ponnds in
tho previous weok; 0,245,200 last year.
In the woolen market there is a
rather deceptive nppenranca of groater
activity. Bulk of business in nevr
lines recently put out a -substitute for
standard goods and a lower price.
Failures for the week were 145- In
the United States, against 182 last
year, and 24 in Canada, against 10 last
year. PACIFIC COAST TRADE.
