ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 9, 1899.

NEW SHIPPING MINES.

Columbia & Kootenay and Virginia
Join the List.

ORE FROM MANY OTHER MINES

Progress in the Development of the Various
Properties of the Camp. What is Being
Done in the Way of Improvements,

The Columbia & Kootenay and
the Virginia have taken places with
‘the shipping mines. of Ross
This week, the former shipped one
car load and the latter two box
cars. Owing to the two days lost
in the Labor Day holiday, the total
shipments materially decreased this
week, but, otherwise shipments
were up to: the standard, and
totalled 3191 tons. The new ship-
pers mark an important epoch in
the history of the camp. The ship-
ments for the week are as follows:

War Eagle.

Iron Mask...

Centre Star.
Virginia. .

Columbia & “Kootenay. .

Total tons..

‘The Iron Mask .

In the Iron Mask mine the No. 2
winze is within ten feet of the 400
foot level. The west drift from the
350 foot level from the same winze

work is in progress and shipments |
have’ ‘been practically discohtinued |
in order to continue development.
All the drills are’ now in this work
and active ship.nents will not be re-
sumed until after. further work has
been done. The shipments made
heretofore have been from ore on
hand which it was desired to get out

cordance with the smelting contract
from now on will be resumed
shortly. . .

come in his usual happy manner
and was responded to by Mr. John
E. Hardman of" ‘Montreal, the pres-

in the camp, and hence was only of
secondary importance. The princi-

longed to the composite, or shear-
zone class, in which a series of par-
allel fissures have been mineralized
constituting, however, one vein
system. The speaker gave a des-
cription of the conditions attending
the formation of the ore bodies in

said; the replacement of the silicates
inthe‘country rock by mineral had
been accomplished ‘by the slow per-
meation of the formation by heated
soiutions from isolated reservoirs
comparatively near the surface of
the earth,

Touching on the values contained
in the ores of the camp, Mr. Ferrier |;
referred to the interesting experi-
ments conducted by Mr. A. A. Cole
under his direction at McGill Uni-
versity, showing the distribution of
the gold values with regard to’ the
minerals contained in the veins. He
gave aninstance in which, the ore
carried 4.14 ounces of gold.~~ The
individual minerals in~the sample,
with the values in gold contained in
aton of each were: Pyrrhotite,
2.80 ounces; - mispickel, ‘ 21.24
ounces; chalcoyprite, 130 ounces;
while the tailings carried fourounces:
demonstrating that the values in
that instance, were mainly in, the
chalcoyprite. The speaker then
propounded the: theory, which he
said was. not as yet fully proven,
that in the formation of the veins of
the camp there had been a second-
ary deposition of values by means of
silicification subsequent to that ac-

ident of the Institute, who thank
the people of Rossland for the cor-

‘|dial reception that had been given

to them. They had come to Ross-
land first because it was the fore-
most. mining camp in British Col-
umbia now and was capable of much
better things. He invited the min-
ing men of the camp to join the In-
stitute, which now had 200 members
enrolled.

The first address made was by
Mr. W. F. Ferrier, expert of the
War Eagle and Centre Star, on the
geological and mineralogical condi-
tions of this district... “He began his
address with a general~ description
of the geological conditions which

‘lresulted in the formation of the

series of sedimentary rock and their
associated eruptives in.-the Rocky
mountain region of which the Ross-
land férmation is a part, and the
causes’ froin which the’ niineral
veins in the district result. Mr.
‘Ferrier proceeded to treat in a very
thorough manner on the formation
of the Rossland ore bodies. The],
veins of the camp, he stated, were
true fissure veins; in ~fact, typical
fissure veins, though they lacked |,
the smooth, ultiniate walls’ ‘which' -
were found in the *tstext-book” veins,
but which dre, the exception al
than the rule i in actual mining.
Rossland mines the ical sie
tions have in many cases oblitera-
ted the. original _ planes which gave
them access to:the surface. There
were in the camp’several varieties of
fissure veins, which might be divi-
ded into three classes. First were

é those which’ had filled open fissures,

the others, and found, for instance,
on O. K. mountain, where the fil-
ling was quartz, in which fine spec-
imiens of free gold are found. Sec-
ond, the simple fissure veins, filled
completely with metallic sulphides
from wall to, wall. This class of.

_| veins was not of common occurrence

ying the deposition of: the
sulphides in the fissures. In sup-
port of this theory, Mr. Ferrier,
ationgst other things, mentioned
the little known fact of the discov-
ery. of the zeolitic minerals, which
elsewhere frequently result from
hydrothermal action, \ipart from or-
dinary.mineral deposition.
Referring to the working of the
mines, Mr. Ferrier said the. mana-
gers would find a system of assay
plans, showing the distribution of
values through the veins, of the

form arid mode of occurrence of the
pay’shoots and in mapping out fu-
ture operations. His remarks were
closed amidst prolonged general ap-
lause.

A LOT OF RARE COINS STOLEN

Burns and MoNiooll Have Challenged Steven-
gon and Ross to Another Drilling Contest
at $400 6 Side. ae)

Tom Burns, the.man_ who robbed
aman “at the Black Bear grounds
while the circus was here, is again
in custody. It will be remembered
that he escaped’ from Nelson jail
about two ‘weeks ago after he had
just started to serve eighteen months
in that plice. He was arrested as
a fugitive in Northport and extra-
dition proceedings were abandoned
a day or twoago. He got down
to Bossburg immediately after his
discharge and held up'a man, from
whom he obtained $20, and now is
in custody in that place with a good
chance of a long term in. the Walla
Walla penitentiary.

RARE COINS STOLEN. _,

The Bullding Just West of the Allan
Hotel Again Burglarized. *

Somewkere between 5 and 10
o'clock last night a burglar. entered
the room occupied by D. Maranville,
who formerly kept the Oregon lunch
counter, and stole a number of rare
coins. The burglar scattered alk
the clothing in the room over the
floor, ate a quantity of fruit; besides.
doing some damage to the room..
The. police areactively engaged on
the case and have located some of ,
the stolen coins. The building
where Mr. Maranville roomed is the
one occupied by Patterson’s cigar’
store, just west of the Hotel Allan,
and has been ‘fired twice this year
and burglarized once before while
the Oregon lunch counter, which
Mr. Maranville formerly owned, was
also burglarized last week.

A NEW DRILLING CONTEST.

Burns and MeNicoll Want to Try Con-

clusions With Stevenson and Hoss.

The challenge io drillers made by
Eric Stevenson and W.: M. Ross to
beat the hole drilled last Tuesday in
the same rock has been. met by a
counter thallenge to drillin rock
from the same quarry. The new
challengers, Mike Burns and Mike
McNicoll, - who. have formed a

mayor with afew 1: yr ks,
roceeded to give his hearers an ac-
count of the work accomplished and
progress made in Rossland during
‘the past two years. Very few peo-
le,.even in Rossland, he said, real-
iz > the work going on down in the
‘dark, One fact he mentioned to
give an idea of the extent of devel-
‘opment in progress, which was that
in the B. A. C. properties there had
been done over 23,000 feet of under-
ground work, The work accom-
11! plished in Rossland had been devel-
opment work, yet the camp had
paid $1,400,000 in dividends. [he
work now being done is with an eye
to the future, and the time is ap-
proaching when more and larger
dividends will be paid. The policy
of the Le Roi is to prepare still
larger reserves of ore, and only
smallshipments, comparatively, have
been made, yet the company has to,
its credit a sum that would make a
very respectable dividend. ‘-He en-
tirely agreed with Mr. Ferrier’s re-
marks regarding the camp. . It is
