SOME OF THE BIG ONES General Condition of Business In the Camps of the Boundary District. W. B. Willcox,editor of the Phoenix Pioneer, the bright weekly published in the heart of the Bound- ary country, is in town for a day or two, accompanied by his bride. In conversation this morning with a Reocrp man Mr. Willcox said: ‘Phoenix, like nearly every other town in southern British Columbia, has been going through a period of depression this last summer but with the beginning of fall business and mining matters have taken on a distinctively betteraspect. ‘Thefirst shipment from the big ore produc- ers of Phoenix was made July 11, when the Knob Hill, Old Ironsides and Victoria mines, owned by the well known Miner-Graves syndicate, began sending out ore at a rate of five cars or 150 tons daily. This was kept up untill August 24 when the shipments were doubled to. 300 tons daily, and now they are just being doubled again to 600 tons each 24 hours. When it is remem- bered that Phoenix camp is yet in its earliest infancy, arid was scarce- ly known generally in the mining world two or three years ago, this ing must be ack ledged to be creditable, to say the least. Up to October: these three mines alone had had shipped about 18,oco tons of gold-copper ore. This ore all went to the syndicates own smelter at Grand Forks. In another 30 days the amount shipped will at least have been doubled. “The Knob Hill and-Gray Eagle companies conjointly have just started up their new 1o-drill air compressor, which with the com- pressor already in use by the Old Ironsides company gives the syndi- cate the use of 20 air drills for stop- ing purposes, and the certination of development. : “The size of the ore bodies in the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill are simply marvellous. In fact, the average man finds it difficult to believe what is told him, until he sees them with his own eyes, Itis not high grade ore, to be sure, but the syndieate gives it out that there isa net profit from $3 upward in every ton run through the reduction works.” ‘*How about the other well known mines in and around Phoenix”, Mr. Willcox was ask. “‘Well, they, too are showing up most ily. The S h adjoining the town, is proving to be another wonderful property, and Geo. S. Waterlow, the millionaire London printer, a large owner in its’ stock, who recently visitea the mine, is more than satisfied with the development done. The h are pl +4 for extensive work and improve- ments, it is said. “The Winnipeg, Athelstan and Golden Crown are also doing well and may be classed now among The B. C. ‘mine, also on the Phoenix spur, is a big proposition, having about too men employed and shipping about 2000 tons of ore monthly. . “Here is a fact of no little signifi- cance. Phoenix today is the near- est banking and business point to all the steady shipping mines in the Boundary. Its friends predict it will be larger than Rossland in five years, and it certainly appears as though such would be the result. A.New Building.

The Ennesmore has a strong ledge of gold-copper ore, carrying good values. It is expected that the company will re- gume operations in a short time. Hraudon Golden{Crown. The Rossland special correspon- dent of the New York Engineering and Mining Journal recently wrote to that journal respecting the Bran- don and Golden Crown: “W. L, Orde, secretary -.and treasurer of this company, gives the result of thirty returns from ‘the Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, of° ore treated from May 26th to September 4th this year. The net ore returned by the smelter was 1,876 tons, valued at $11,407. The Army and Navy. Two Hundred. Million Will be Asked for Their Support. By Associated Press.

So Quartermaster Gen. Ludington has asked for consider- ably more money than he needed for the present fiscal year.

(By Associated Prem.) Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 10, suit to recover the insurance on the life of his wife, whom he: killed oa Decemberz 3, 1893, has been com- menced in this city by Prof. Swithin C. Shortledge, who is now residing , at Kennett Square in Chester Coun- ty. The suit, which is to recover the sum of $7,032 from the Provi- dent Life and Trust Co., is one of the most remarkable in the history of lite insurance, : : Prof. Shortledge was conducting in. Media an acadamy for yourg. men. In November, 1893, Prof. Shortledge married as a second wife, Miss Marie Jackson Jones, and ev- erybody prononnced it a happy mar riage. Shortly after this: the: Prof. began to act strangely.” Six weeks after the marriage he commanded his wife to go out with him fora ‘a walk in the snow. A short dis- tance from the house he drew a re- volver and ‘shot her ‘through the heart. He then made an attempt to commit suicide but was disarmed by aneighbor. In the trial which followed; Prof. { Shortledge was uc- quitted-on the’ jgrdund-of insauity . and was confined io an asylum uatil a year ago. A life insurance man- today re- called a case of parallel nature which occurred at Sedalia, Mo., several years ago, but which does not establish a precedent for the present suit, by reason of its sudden and tragic ending. A saloonkeep- er-in that city iusured the life of his wife for Ssooo andthen in a rage killed her. He was put on trial for - his life and after a fierce legal Rattle was acq on a After his acquittal he sued the life insurance company, and so far as the law was concerned he had it en- tirely on his side. Public feeling had been wronght to such a_ pitch, however, that no jury could be found to give the murderer a verdict, and finally the indignant citizens ended the matter by taking the plaintiff out and hanging him to a tree.
