Lessee ee eee ~ 309 a 50 cacti, 42 : 2489" 73:737 The ore shipments from the Le _ Roi this week show. a considerable falling off from the average, owing to the shutdown for the holidays on July 2,°3° and 4, but the week is marked by the greatest day’s ship- ments in the history of the miné. The figures tor that day were 810 ‘tons and this total could have been increased by 150 tons if there had been enough cars. All the empty cars available were filled at 4 p.m. and for lack of more, loading had to be stopped and the remaining two hours of the day’s work lost. The new battery of boilers at the Black: Bear plant is now supplying Steam to the compressor. The old battery, which was formerly in the boiler room located adjoining and under the same reof as the com- - pressor, which has done good ser- vice for the past two years, is now being torn down’ and, installed ‘in| the new boiler plant, This will de- Stroy a great deal of fire risk inci- dental to having a boiler plant un- der the same roof as expensive ma- chinery. The new compressor is all Piped and ready, waiting for the hub of the Aywheel, which is over- due from Chicago. On the Le Roi No. 2 group, the electric hoist at the No. 1 shaft is now up _.and.;’ practically : ready to run. The new: ‘headframe isall up in place and the old one removed and the hoisting facilities are corres- pondingly increased. In the shaft of the Le Roi No. 4, stations are being cut on the 200 and 400-foot levels. 7 The production of the Le ‘Roi mine has been gradually ‘exceeding 3 the capacity Of the smelter at North- port to such an extent that there is now 25,000 tons of ore, easily worth $400,000, in stock in the yards, part of which is roasting and part finished. It has become nec- essary to create more yard room for such a large stock and aJarge force of men“is now engaged, in extending the, yards. For this ipur- pose the Space occupied” by thée’old graveyard is needed and the city council of Northport has ordered the removal of all bodies from it. The’ Centre Star hoist is now running beautifully and, as_ the last carload of the compressor has ar- rived, the completion of the new machinery equipment is in sight. The Pp is bging unloaded on a temporary platform ‘near the building it is to occupy. On the seventh level of the mine, the drift is being extended west towards the end line and is in a large body of high grade ore. The timbering and square sets in the large stope on the second level are expected to be completed this month. The drift trom this stope to the shaft has been made wide enough for a dou- ble track, to facilitate the handling of ore, A yaise is being. made on. the north side line near the Iron Mask. On.the third level, work.is being carried on as usual in the main ¢drift east, and raise No. 387 is being made west of ‘the shalt, to ala carried through: to the surface. intermediate drift 75 feet below the second {evel is. being driven west from raise No. 386. On the fourth level drifting has been re- sumed on the main drift west from the shaft and ‘shows a large body of'ore, Sinking has also been re- sumed in the shaft, which is now ahout 25 feet below the fourth level. The development contemplated on the fifth level of the War Eagle has been completed and work is now confined to the sixth and sev- enth levels. On the sixth, drifts are extending weston the south vein, east on the north vein, The east drift has cut through a large dike. On the seventh level the drift east from the station is completed and crosscuts are being made to reach the north and south veins. The main shaft has reached a depth of 65 feet below the seventh level and is expected to be down to the 1000-foot level by the first week in August. Stoping is being carried on by. contract in two places, one above the fifth and the other above the sixth level, the ore broken being stored in the stopes. The diamond drill is doing prospecting work on the sixth level. Try the Kootenay dinners. MINOR MENTION Albert Allen, the Spokane attor- ney, is in the city. _ Mr. and Mrs. Jay P.

Mrs. Egerton had been struck by the scenery along the line of the C. P. R., as wwell'as with the service which the company rendered across the con- tinent, and she determined to |‘ let the fclk in England know some- thing about both, For this purpose she availed herself of a fancy ball at Covent Garden, to appear in a cos- tume which took the first prize for oviginality, and which illustrated Canadian scenery and the C. P. R. in a highly striking manner. The lady’s hat was trimmed in a manner to show the C. P. R. trains in mo tion; her cape set forth Lake On- tario, Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains, while the front of her dress showed a train rushing at full speed through the wonderful ravines in the far northwest. In the lady's hand was a banner which contained the coats of arms of the several provinces- constituting the Domin-. ion.
