IN A NEW- YORK PAPER Oliver Durant and Alex Tarbet Re- peat the Marvellous Success of the Center Star. The Recorp isin receipt ofa two- column clipping from the New York sent by Oliver Durant, who The people'do not like pretense and deception: The Miner, because it gets a little _ telegraphic . news, resorts to to an a ex: tent. A vividinstance appears in‘ this ing’s issue. It ishes @ pur- ported 'teleg from . ing the finding of the body of Attorney Jay H. Adams, who fellfrom a train’ _ near Hope; Idaho, and was killed. The ig C icle of Monday a fall account of the recovery of the body, and Tuesday’s Spokeaman-Review aleo. The latter has more readers in » Rossland than the Miner, which makes it‘ridiculous in the eyes ofall sensible people. Alderman Edgren’s proposition to draw a salary for himself, the mayor and the balance of the covncil, will not be received with good grace by thw rate- payers, agit was generally understood that no salaries would be paid thie year. There was a great howl because Mayor Scott and the council serving with hint voted pay for themselves, Neither the mayor or any of the present city coun- cil are in need of compensation and the prevailing sentiment is that they should not ask it. ——= The city council ia waking up ‘about the sewerage business, and now propose to write a ‘‘atrong letter tothe provin- cial sanitary department insisting upon the'privilege'to empty into the Colum- bia river.”’. That should have been done Tomg 0g0, ies Tho Record is in receipt of 10 large maps of the Yukon country, issued by the Department of the Interior. They are furnished by the Topographical sur- vey. branch and contain a vast’ amount of valuable inforination. ooo It is’ evidént that you can’t get the local news unless you read the Recorp.

This was the simple beginiting of Trail Creek, now one of the most famous mining* camps in the world, which aprang up as if by magic withina few years. Inone day Morris and Bour- geois located five claims, the value of which on the Toronto Exchange is now $20,000,000. This was indeed a good showing for wo prospectors in a single day.

When Meesrs. Durant and Tarbet, who are’ educated miners; bought the Centre Stur from Morris & Bourgeois they pushed the work of development with energy. With this deyelopment the showing became better, and the op- erators soon realized that they had pur- chased ‘an immensely valuable property. In 1995 they. formed the Center Star|' Mining and Smelting Company and is- sued 500,000 shares of stock, retaining the great Lulk for themsgelves.. Machin- ery was purchased and a plant erected, and frqm that time up: to.the day of the sale there was no vessation of ‘active op- erations. Light thousand feet of open- ing at a cost of $176,000, was the’ result of this enterprise. i The compuny resased to ship or sell any of ite ore owing to the high rates charged for hauling“and. smelting, and the wisdom ofthis ‘policy was ‘manifea- ted by the fact that the charges of hand- ling and treatment‘of the ore fell’ from $17 to $7 4 ton, und with $10,000 tons of ore on the dump 8 saving was therefore made of $70,000. It will be seen that the LeRoi in shipping out ore for treat- ment at a cost of $17 down to $11 really paid ‘over. $1,000,000 for freight and treatinent in excess, which would have made the dividende over $2,000,000. The owners of the Centre Star were continually importuned to eell, but knowing that they had “struck it rich” they dectined all ove: tuaes. Finally they allowed the.
