KNOWN OF HIM He Attempted to Swim Across the Columbia River but was Carried Down Stream and: Drowned Near the Repide—Body was Not Recovered. Trail, Nov. 29.—Special.—A stranger, known only as “Tommy,” was drowned in the Columbia river yesterday about a mile below Trail. He, with a companion, had stolen some blankets, when W. J. Devitt, the provincial officer, gave chase. The two men took to the road and as the officer gained on them, one hid behind a house while the other jumped into the river, with the in- tention of swimming across. The current carried him down stream, but he managed to hang on to some float. * Mr. Devitt followed the bank for a mile or more, but the current was so swift that he was unable to res- cue the drowning man, who went under just as the rapids were reached. The body has not been recovered. — BACK FROM SHERIDAN cAMP. Mr, Holt Tells of Progress on the Zala M.%s Long Crosscut.- + F. W. Rolt; of Rolt & Grogan, |’ has returned from a visit to Sheri- dan on Toroda creek, Washington, where he is interested in the ,Zala M. mine. At present the company is running a long crosscut with a five-drill compressor, which is in about 470 feet and has‘ about another 100 feet to run before strik-, ing the ledge. The latter has been explored toa depth of 150 feet, where it has widened from three to five feet. Another tunnel has also been started to give a depth of 500 feet. The ledge carries silver ore, which also contains copper aod gold, and a sample shipment: to Trail returned $250 per ton, An assay plant is now being erected, Mr. Rolt is also interested in ‘the Kitty Clyde, which shows the Zala M. ledge very strong, the Rebecca and Spokane.

PAYING FOR EXCESS IRON Concessions by Trail Smelter Bring Low Grade Ore Up to the Paying Basis—Gold|: Bearing Talo Struck in White Bear Oross{ out. re \ After being shut down for over 4 year, the Monte Christo mine is t be put in operation again and ship-| ments are to be resumed as sooi as frost hardens the roads. A cal track is being laid to the Virginiaj for the accommodation of both: mines. This fact accouats for the} recent movement and advance in the’ stock. ! About 420 tons of ore were shipped from the mine to the Trail; smelter in June and July 1898,when hi were P pped on it of a dispute in regard to ‘payment for excess iron. The ore carried about 52% iron, which is 37% ex cess over the percentage requited in smelting sulphide ores, This ex- cess is of great value to smelters it) treating silver-lead ores anda de- duction of one cent per unit is usual- sly made from smelting charges for it. The great body of the Monte Christo ore being low grade, with no copper value, this deduction, averaging nearly $4 aton,is enough to change a loss into a profit on ip S. Arrang have now been made. with. the. Trail smelter. to allow the deduction and instructions have been received by Superintendent McPherson to re- sume shipments. The property is controlled in Montreal, C. R. Hos- mer, director of the C. P. R., being the largest holder, and he has doubtless been largely instrumental in making the arrangement with the smelter. a At the time when it was shut down the Monte Christo “had done 5166 feet of work, which developed it to a depth of 600 feet, the tunnels being respectively 1100, 515 and 550 feet long. The bulk of the ore is said to carry $6 to $7 in gold, but it is in one of the largest bodies in the district. The highest grade ore is a Stteak of ‘about three feet on the 400-foot level, which carries about $17. _A great body of ore has .been blocked out ready for stoping and there is some shipping ore on the dump, The plant con- sists of a seven-drill compressor, z2o0-horsepower hoist and 80-horse- power boilers. ee A Ring of Republic Gold.

MANY BOERS KILLED London, Nov. 30.—Although ‘telegraph ahd railroad commu- nication has been opened with Modder River, no further news of General Methuen’s movements or the big fight was given out up to 2:30 this afternoon. This is generally taken to indicate that Gen- eral Methuen is again on the march and, as heretofore, will not again be heard from until he has fought another battle‘and gained another victory. . That¢he general d dogged on his north- ward march is shown by a speech which he delivered to his troops on November 27, after the battle of Gras Pan, reports of which have just reached here. After reading a telegram from High Com- missioner Milner, congratulating the troops and sympathizing with the wounded, General Methuen personally congratulated the troops on the work done and expressed appreciation of the man- ner in which they had endured hardships. The work, he said, was the most severe encountered by the British army in’ many a long day. They had in front of them, he tontinued, an enemy who could. not afford to give a single point. Their tactics had > been It and he r ized and admired their Con- fight for-his country;' he prefetred to fight a'foe worthy. of his steel He then expressed a hope thaa he and his men had’ gained each othnr’s confidence and would all do their duty to their country, as Englishmen should. .
