While itis true the Spokane Falls and Northern would give the Canadian Pacific en- trance to Spokane, that advantage would unquestionably be offeet y the construction of a parallel line by either the Northern. Pacific or the Great N ,» or by the d electric railway. The questivun is, Will the Canadian Pacific buy the 130 miles of road from Northport to Spo- kane, which it does not absolutely need in order to secure the Red Mountain and the Nelson and Fort Sheppard railways? It is not to be thought of that Corbin will sell these roads separately. The question of the title to the land Grants undeubtedly is being given consideration. It is not likely Cor- bin will have the hardihood to offer to sell the land grant on the same basis as he offers lots to the people in Ross+ land. — LE ROI SHIPMENTS. There Are 150-Tons Go to Smelters Daily From This Mine. The recent strike in the 500-foot level in the Le Roi, judging from re- ports, isan important one. Superin- tendent Hall writes: “I am pleased to inform you that I have struck a new body of ore.in the face -of the west drift of the 500-foot level west of the main cross course. This was found last Thursday evening.” The assay value of the ore bodies found with the diamond drill beyond) the west-fault, and at a distance of 24 feet. The managers of the company regard it as the most important strike yet made in the Le Roi... They have drifted into and are taking out ore. If this ore body extends to the surface Hit will give immense backs: for stop- Ling. “Weare now shipping 150. tons: of Nore daily,” xia Caleaal W. Woo D. Turner yesterday, ‘100 tons of which goes over the Red Mountain road to Everett, Helena and Tacoma, and 50 tons over the Columbia & Western to Trail. This is made possible by the facilities offered by the Red Mountain for getting the ore out of the country. We ship five cars or a trainload of ore daily to Northport.” i ——— WORK ON THE FAIRVIEW.

Burke, the well-known mining expert, in an interview in the Teronto Canadian Miner; sid: ‘I have no koubt about the Kootenay or British-Columbia from what I have seen elsewhere’ and seen in that province, Itis the-greatest mining and judging from the accomplishment of present developments it will attain the fore- most rank in from five to ten years. Speaking about charters, Mr. Burke said that the Britlsh Columbia char- ters were very gocd, and the plan of securing prospects excellent. Wush- ington charters were also good. They cost in legal expences aud otherwise about $150. To register them in British Columbia required” an ad- ditional $7.50. “The British Colum- bia system of granting lands is the best I know of.” - In regard to royalties or taxes on mines, he said that the British ©o- lumbia government had proposed put- ting a tax of two per cent on the gross output of the ores. This thoroughly aroused the miners, and from his camp he and others went down to the legislature and along with others pro- tested. The g ithd ies of ore at present unused be- cause they are not paying ores, that will before long be -treated and gold extracted in sufficient amount to make them pay well. Smelting is at present the method in vogue in treat- ing the ore, but later there will come improved methods which will reduce the cost of mining and snilling ton fraction of the present cost, and very low grade ores will p-ove profitable. As to comparisons with States across the border where he has mined, he said, “The veins are’ longer and stronger, that is better defined, and richer than in the States. A marked » but in Rossland all but ubiversal, ia the increase in quantity and quality as depth is attained. The veins are wider and richer as you go down.” re THE BIG BEND COUNTRY. Two Mineral Belts and Developments Are Progressing. There are practically two mineral belts traversing the Big Bend district from southeast to northwest, the uiost! westerly one being auriferous in ite character. The easterly one is practically a continuation of the ar- gentiferous ledges that traverse the Lardeau, Fish creek and Illecillewaet mining divisions.

Seuis capitalists having secured a large number of ising 1 the proposal andin lieu of it put a ax Of one percent on’ tlie “net® pro- duct. Had the government impose} the two per cent tax, he was satisfied that-the present gold development could not have taken place. “Capi- tal, you know,” said he, “is very timid ina new gold field, and men with money will not invest if they think they will be taxed whether fortunate ornot, ‘They need encouragement to invest, and should not be frightened off, even by small taxes.” - “The ore of the Le Roi and War p g and preparing for extensive deyelop- ment. vicinity are being secured by syndi- cates with ample means, anda mining camp willno doubt be erected that will help to swell to large amounts she guld output of the district. —__ AMUSEMENTS, At INTERNATIONAL Music Hau. “Our Boye” was presented Inet eve- ning in International Music Hall by Eagle is low grade and ref: ‘ye It has a great staying power: it im- proves in depth. Perhaps there is something in the idea that. the heat at the time of deposition in the lower depthe of the masses nay have some- thing todo with this richnees—but there is no doubt that on every hand the appearances. indicate marvellous richness and permanency.” “How does development ut present stage compare with that of Butte, Mont., at the same age?” “Rossland is very much further ahead, alike in population, develop- ment and production. Rossland, however, is a little ahead in transpor- tation facilities compared with Butte at asimilar age.” -“How is Rossland governed ?” “It is unincorporated. It comes under mining laws, and 1s governed by a good commizsioner and a special constable. The gold commissioner is good one, and order and equity rule. There are 35 saloons and hotels. The limit is not fixed by population, but under a special law adapted to the and it is not against the treasury stock of the company. Surface assays of the claim showed $2.65 in gold, 8.7 per cent of copper aud trace of silver. : — THE HOCKEY MATCH. A fast and keenly contested hockey match was played last eyening at the ice rink, bebween the club and the bankers. It resulted in a tie, each side ecuring # goal. It is the inten- tion of the club to of mining camps.” In ref to the ip of mines and claims he said that about nine-tenths of the companies and capi- tal at Rossland was American, and the other tenth chiefly Canadian. Astothe ore and general rock of southern British Columbia, he “said that in Slocan and also at Fort Steele in eastern Kootenay, the ore was eim- ilar tothe silver-lead ores south of the boundary, as in Montana, but oi higher grade. It occurs in dionte and with Nelson, Kaslo and Sandon. ——— A NEW MINING PAPER.
