SHIPPING TO TRAIL

Ie Roi Is Now Sending Ore to Both
the Big Smelters.

SORTING TABLES ORDERED

A Palling Of Due to Repairs and Shortage of
Ore Oars—Last of New Machinery Equip-
mont Ordered—Geod Progress with Instal-
lation of Oompressor.

The ore shipments from this
camp this week were again limited
to those from the Le Roi mine.
The total was 3005 tons, making
the total for that mine for the year
to date 38,482 tons. This includes
a carload of 21 tons from the I X L
shipped ldst Saturday, but not in-
cluded in last week's figures.

The falling off in the Le Roi
shipments was due in the first in-
stance to some changes in the tram,
made necessary by the erection of
an extra ore bin of 500 tons
capacity, which was erected at the
head house. This is for temporary
use until the new hoist 1s installed.
Since this was completed, the supply
of ore cars has not been sufficient to
make up the ground lost and for
this reason the hoist has only been
run on the day shift.

The first carload of second-class
ore forthe Trail smelter is being
loaded today at the Le Roi. = Fur-
ther shipments to Trail will be made
until the capacity of the Northport
smelter is increased sufficiently to
meet the increased output of ore
from the B. A. C, mines.

The two batteries of boilers at |

the Black Bear plant are ready for
steam, furnishing 600 horse-power.
Good headway is being made with
the installation of the compressor,
all of which has arrived except one
carload. The foundations for the
new hoist are ready for the cap-
stones and will be finished in a
couple of days. The collar sets of
timbers are in on the five-compart-
ment shaft, which is being enlarged
to full size and timbered. Work
commenced today on the prepara-
tions for the erection of a new head-
frame. The ore bins at the railroad
terminal on the Black Bear ground,
with a capacity of 1000 tons, are
well along.

Orders have been placed with the
Link Belt Machinery Company
of Chicago for the conveying ma-
chinery for the new sorting plant,
which is the last of the new ma-
chinery equipment. It will consist
ot three long traveling tables, from
which the sorters will pick the
waste as it passes.

Windsorites Decline Invitation to a
War Celebration at Detroit,

Windsor, Ont., June 9.—Mem-
bers of the Canadian club in De-
troit are anxious to have a big
body of Windsorites participate in
the monster celebration of the de-
feat of the Spaniards by the United
States, to be held in Detroit shortly,
but the attitude of certain Detroit-
ers in pulling down the Union Jack
the other day so enraged the com-
mittee who had the arrangements
in hand that J. W. Drake, the mas-
ter of ceremonies, has informed
Major Rothwell, of the Canadian
club, Detroit, that Windsor people
are possessed of the idea that the
British flag would again be insulted,

SLEUTHHOUND OF THE WAR.

Burnham the American Scout With
Lord Roberts’ Force

Bennet_ Burleigh writes-to the
London Daily Telegraph’ from
Bloemfontein:

“One of the unique experiences at
Koorn Spruit was that of Mr. F. R.
Burnham, the famous American
scout. He came here recently on
the invitation of Lord Roberts, to
assist in the operations. South
Affica knows him well, for he has
ere now gone into battle helping-
British troops. _ Perhaps he is best
know to the world as the man who
ended the’ Matabele war by manag-
ing to trek and shoot the great na-
tive Witch Doctor in a cave amongst:
the hills, Burnham is a square-set,
wiry. medium-sized man of 30,- with=
light blue-grey eyes. His-senses-‘of
sight, smell and hearing are acately-
trained and highly developedjreme:*
much so almost as a_ sleuthisoumds:
Tobacco he abjures, as it is calcula-
ted to impair his faculties for track-
ing. Like an Australian aborigine,he
is guided by sense of smell as much
as by sight. Anonion, a negro and
a Boer are all alike to him, easily
recognizable in the dark or if blind-
folded, Many a time has he saved
his own and others’ lives by his
exquisite sense of scent. Perhaps
this is not so wonderful as it seems,
for a negro kraal and a Boer camp
are equally odoriferous. I could
myself undertake, were the wind in
the right quarter, to tell where
either was more than a bow shot off.
But Burnham goes beyond that in
niceties of distinction, even to the

of the jt

solitary dweller upon the veldt. He
fell into the Boers’ hands through
an accident at Koorn Spruit. As a
prisoner he witnessed the whole
action, and ultimately, having heard
the officers’ story of the fight, gave
the Boers the slip upon the road to
Winburg and returned into Bloem-
fontein.”
