CETTING READY

Miners at Work as a Preliminary to
Making Contracts,

OUTPUT WILL INCREASE

Though the War Hagle and Centre Star May
Not Ship Yet, Le RoilWill Inorease Ship-
ments and Josie, No.1 and Nickel Plate
Will Enter the List.

The miners in the’ Le Rot re-
sumed work this morning in a body
and with the beginning of next
week the making of contracts will
ensue. The men are at present
working merely to test the ground,
with a view to determining what the
work.1s worth, this being a prelimi-
nary to agreeing on a contract
price. A similar method will be
followed in the War Eagle and
Centre Star next week.

The Le Roi now has plenty of
stopes opened to begin producing
ore on the old scale, as soon as the
mine is in full operation, but it will
probably be a week before ship-
ments reach the average which pre-
vailed before the shut-down. With
the War Eagle and Centre Star,
the capacity of the air compressor
and hoists will have to be concen-
centrated on development exclu-
sively for the next three months in
order to open enough new ground
to justify a resumption of shipments,
with a safe reserve of ore ahead.
The Iron Mask is likely to continue
shipping about a carload a day, if
not more. The Evening Star and
I. X. L. will also ship one or two
carloads a month each,

Whatever decrease the shipments
may show on account of the stop-
page of the supply from the War
Eagle and Centre Star is likely to
be made up ‘from the other mines
which will come forward: into the
ranks of the regular shippers. » The
Josie has an electric hoist with a
capacity of 300 tons in io hours at
the present depth of the shaft, and’
a counterpart of this machine is
being installed in the No. 1. The
levels in both these mines are being
extended and they will become
shippers as soon as tramways have
been built to the railroad and ore
bins put in. These improvements
have been delayed by the snow.
The Nickel Plate also will’ be ready
to ship ore about the same time, for
its 80-horse-power double, drum
hoist, with two cages, will be in
operation in about 10 days and'can
hoist 250 tons in about 10 hours
from a depth of 800 feet. Levels
have been run as far down as 200
feet and will be run every roo feet
as soon as the 600-foot level is
reached. i

It is not an over-estimate to say
that before the War Eagle and
Centre Star are ready to resume

level. Itis the intention of J. L.
Packet, the consulting engineer, to
run a drift on the'vein 100 feet -and
then stope. The company has al-
ready purchased a stamp mill and it
is expected that it will be installed
and running by July 1. :

Mr. Brown is interested in the
Sunrise, the extension of the Refer-
endum, and is going to put a force
of men to work at once. He stated
that the White Water, on Beaver
Creek, has been purchased by a
Paris syndicate, who are going to
puta force of men to work, The
purchase price is not yet known,
but it is a large figure.

MINOR MENTION. |

J. C. Drewry has bonded for the
Canadian Gold Fields syndicate the |“
Sunset mine, near Whitewater, for
$30,000. He left today for Mon-
treal and on his return will start
development.

Going Home Drunk, He Accidentally Sets Fire
to His Cabin and Is Burnedsto Death in It—
Vain Attempt at Resoue—Bedy in a Hor-
rible Condition.

As the result ofa Saturday night
debauch, the charred body of Joshua
Wayne lies at Beatty’s undertaking
rooms awaiting burial.

After a period of abstinence from
liquor beginning with the city elec-
tion, Wayne took to drinking again
on Saturday night,’ and went home
to his cabin on Kootenay avenue
-) near Cliff street about 5 o’clock on
Sunday morning. He appears to
have lighted a candle in a miner’s
candlestick, which was stuck in the
wall over his bed. The candle
must have burned through the
socket and dropped out, setting fire

The first person to see the flames
was J. Stussi, the driver of the gar-
bage wagon, who was putting up
his team in the barn near by. He
ran up to the window and, seeing
through the smoke the figure of
Wayne resting with his outstretched
hands on the table, while the flames
and smoke enveloped him, seized
him by one arm-to pull him out of
the cabin. ‘The flames rand” smoke
were so thick that Stussi fled, tear-
ing suffocation, and Wayne. fell-
back into the flames.

Meanwhile a paper carrier had
seen the flames, but hesitated for.
three or four minutes before turn-
ing in an alarm, in doubt whether
he ought to do so. He finally gave
the alarm and the department was

they see them. :

Balding the Small Towns.
Maseru, April 7.—The Boers, who
were massed last week near Lady-
brand to the number of 10,000, after
seizing Thaba Nchu and the Mod-
der river water works, broke up in-
to stro.g divisions and they are
now raiding the south of the Free
State, re-occupying the small towns
which were evacuated by the Brit-
ish. The Boers’ policy seems to be
to make rapid movements _ with lit-
tle transport, looting English store-
keepers freely for provisions and
cutting the communications of the
British forces.

Colonials on the Eve of Battle.

General Brabant’s colonials are
mostly at Wepener.| They are a
splendid force, capable of great
striking power and used to cross
country riding, and are able to deal
roughly with the Boer commandos
roaming about the country. A
squadron of Brabant’s horse cap-
tured goo rifles near Wepener. His
outposts are reported to be in touch
with the Boers and a fight is re-
garded as imminent.

Persistent reports are being cir-
culated that the Boers are prepar-
ing to retake the British position at
Wepener, and thus to secure en-
trance into Basutoland. Such an
attempt will be resisted by the Ba-

but his delay had cost Wayne's life.
Stussi was just turning away from
the window when the firemen ar-
rived. Had they been called soon-
er, they would have rushed into the.
cabin and quelling the flames with the
chemical would have saved his life.
As it was,the building was a mass of’
flames and, when they were finally
subdued and the firemen took hold
of Wayne's body to carry it out, the
flesh came off his arm in their
hands.

The only vestige of clothing
which remained on the body was the
neck-band of a blue shirt. One
arm and one foot were burned off,
the eyes were burnt out, all the
hair gone, the intestines protruding
and the ribs bare of flesh. The re-
mains were taken to Beutty’s to
await the action of Coroner Bowes.
