‘$150,000 FOR AUGUST

Rossland’s Big Payroll is Steadily
Increasing,

MUCH LARGER THAN’ IN JULY

What tho Various Mining Companies Will
Pay Their Employes for Their Labor Last
Month, ‘

The payrolls of the mines in Ross-
land for the month of August will
probably aggregate $130,000 and
may exceed that amount. Some of
the payrolls. are not yet completed
and cannot be obtained until to-
morrow, pay day. Some of the
properties it is known will have
much larger payrolls than in July,
this being notably the case with the
War Eagle properties. The B. A.
C. properties hardly hold their own
with last month, but the Iron Mask
shows quite an increase. The fig-
ures given below on the larger prop-
erties are in most cases . approxi-
mately given before the final prov-
ing of the payrolls, while the figures
for some of them, notably the Sun-
set No. 2, are exact. For the
smaller properties the figures of last
month have been given as it is be-
lieved that there will be little differ-
ence between the two months, but
the exact amounts will be published
as soon as obtained.

The following are the amounts
for the properties named; Le Roi,
$32,000; Columbia and Kootenay,
$6,000; Great Western, $1,000;:
Nickel Plate, $3100; No. 1, $4600;.

above properties) $3000; War
Eagle, $25,000; Centre Star, $14,-
ooo, Iron Mask, $5,000; Sunset
No. 2, $2,438.15. In the following
properties this month’s figures are
given for the Virginia and Deer
Park, but the others were not-yet
compiled, and for the purpose of
forming an approximate total, last
month’s figures are given: White
