Along the vein at that point, an
especially goad showing has been

run to the south for 10 feet. It is
from that point’that the shipping ore
has been secured. - It is sorted by

boarding houses have been eating
down town. They could get their
meals at the small hotelsand restau-
rants for $5 per week, while at the
mine boarding houses the charge is
$x per day or $7 per week. Tnere
is little difference between the qual-
ity of the meals down town and on
the hill, while the difference in price
is $2 per week, That item has in-
duced scores and scores of miners
to live down town. Now when the
restaurant men plan to raise the
-| price of meals to 35 cents, or $1 per
day, the miners declare that they
will return again to the mine board-
ing houses, which for convenience
are.better than the down town
‘places.

On the other hand the restaurant
men say that as they have in many
cases carried the miners until the
latter could get work, it ill becomes
the miaers to leave them when it is
necessary to raise the price of

RACE AGAIN A FAILURE,

WIN TWO EVENTS.

Firemen Fatablish Hub Race Record
at New Westminster.

New WESTMINSTER, Oct. 5.—
[Special.]—The Rossland firemen
day won both the hub-and-hub race
and the dry test in the Provincial
competition. The prize in each
case was S150 cash. The wet test
is still to be run and the Rossland-
ers have an excellent chance of win-
ning it also. Their time in the hub
race was 32 2-5, which establishes
the coast record. [n the dry
test their speed was 2034 seconds,

The team comprises Jack Allen,
captain; Charles Collins, manager;
and Wm. Boyd, Fred Wilson,
Frank Raymer, C. McBride, C. H.
Wilson, W. Smith, A. Frew, J.
Squires, E. Carlson and Gus Reb-
ber.

Two Rossland business men were
represented here by $800, which
was bet for them on the Rossland
team. As a consequence they have
made much money.

WORKING ON THE CALIFORNIA

eet oo

Driving the Tunnel and Grading for
New Plant.

Company Has Plenty of Money and Will Make
& Mino If Possible—Will Use Nlectricity
Everywhere for Motive Power.

Underground work was recom-
menced yesterday in the California,
after a suspension of about two
years. Jay P. Graves, representing
the Miner-Graves interests now in
control of the company, has made
all the arrangerrents for finding out
what the ‘property contains, and he
now has about ten men at work
there on the surface and in the
tunnel. .

“The company has all the money
necessary for developing the prop-
erty thoroughly, and we mean to
make a mine of it if such a thing
be possible,” said Mr. Graves today
before leaving for Spokane.

“Until our new power plant is in
shape we shall continue work in the
tunnel, and two shifts are now at
work there. It isin 220 feet, and
we will drive it on indefinitely. The
surface crew is now engaged in
grading for the new compressor
building and hoist house. The
present shaft is down 50 feet and
we will continue it in two-compart-
ment size.

“The compressor will be of 10-;
drill capacity, and of the Rand!
duplex-compound type. It will be!
operated by an electric motor, as
our experience with electricity on,
the Mascot has been satisfactory. |
The entire capacity of the compres-
sor will be available for drills, as
the hoist will be worked by a sepa-
rate motor, and an electric sinking
pump will probably be used. Ij
think that the new machinery should
all be in operation by the first of!
next year.”

|FINE ‘ORE IN IRON MASK

Lower Levels Show Chutes 10 and 12
Feet Wide.

RICHEST ROCK IN THE CAMP

First Olass Shipments Average Around $85—
Second Class Iron Ore Returning From $10
to $183—More Power to Be Seoured.

The development of the Iron
Mask at the 300-and 350-foot level
has opened some magnificent bodies
of copper ore. The chutes there
have proven to be from 10 to 12
feet wide and they ure producing
the richest ore which is leaving the
Rossland camp. The first class is
averaging about $35 per ton in gold
and copper, and ta: value is being
steadily maintained.

The vein on both the 300-and the
350-foot level has been opened for a
distance of 60 feet and it shows a
nearly ‘uniform quality of ore
for the whole distance. Not
only i is the quality of it remarkable
but the size of the chutes is no less
interesting. They have increased
amazingly as depth has ’ been
reached and the bottom of the mine
now shows the biggest deposits in
the whole property. The influence
of the surface disturbances seems
to have been. left behind, and in the
solid formation now encountered
the Iron Mask is’ surprising even
those who knew it best. _ r
“The” “property is now producing
two grades’ of ore—the first class
copper, which runs about $35, and
the second class iron ore which re-
turns from $10 to $13. Practically
everything hoisted goes in.one bin
or the other, and only a little hand
sorting is resorted to. The*output
of the mine is reaching from 250
to 300 tons a week, which is about
all that can be hoisted with the
present plant.

Manager J. F. Herrick, who is in
town today, has arranged for an ad-
ditional motor with a capacity of
sixty horse power. The present
motor, with a capacity of one hun-
dred horse power, is being worked
to its full capacity, but is not able
to drive the com pressor at its great-
est efficiency. The new motor,
which will be attached to the old
one, will give altogether one hun-
dred and sixty horse power, and it
will then be possible to get plenty
of air for operating both the hoist
and the drills.

WILL USE A TIMBER FRAMER.

Le Hol Getting a Heavy New Plant to
Do the Work.

Up at the Le Roi the work of
framing the heavy timbers used in
the mine will soon be done by ma-
chinery. ‘Arrangements are, being
made to secure the necessary plant
and a big building to house tt is
{nearly pleted. The t ‘y
{comprises a series of saws which

take the round stick of timber

land square each end of it. The cuts
{thus made are mathematically per-
‘fect, and can be fitted into each
other without difficulty.

e Le Roi has been using an
enormous amount of timber lately,
land the timbermen are far behind
jthe miners. The new machine will
jnot need to work more than half
|time to supply all the sticks needed
lin the property. It will be the first
one in the Province, although .sev-
eral of the large mines on the Amer-
ican side of the line have used the
, Plants successfully,
