NEEDS PLENTY OF AIR

Centre Star Erecting Five Temporary Compressors,

HAVE A CAPACITY OF 31 DRILLS

Putting Property in Shape to Oarry Forward Vigorous Development—Will Be Used in Connection With War Hagle Planta,

All the available compressors in the district are being rushed into place at the Centre Star, to furnish that big mine with air until, its own new plant canbe completed. Thus far a battery of five small compres- sors has been secured, and they are being erected side by side on a temporary foundation just below the main shaft by the War Eagle ore bins. The old seven-drill plant at the Crown Point has been moved over to the new works, and is being set up today. The five-drill com- pressor formerly used by the Centre Star in its old power house has al- ready been removed to the new lo- cation. The Red Mountain’s plant and the one from the R. E. Lee in the south belt are also being re- moved, while another compressor has been secured. They will have a total capacity of 31 drills and will be worked by steam supplied from two new boilers now nearly com- pleted.

With the new battery in opera- tion, the War Eagle and Centre

{the people of Rossland will give him a fair show he will furnish them a paper that will be of an incalculable benefit to the city,

When the people once think of the comparative advantages of the morning and afternoon papers it will at once be seen that the latter is the one that meets the popular demand.

The morning paper is delivered when the reading members of the family are busy, and they can only hastily glance over the paper, when they must goto their work, It is not until evening that they can give it attention.

The afternoon paper is delivered in the homes about the time that the day’s work is done and when all the members of the family have the time and the inclination to read it. ‘They can readily see that the news which it con‘ains is of that day and not of the day before. :

PRODUGE 100 TONS DAILY

Tramway, Now in Course of Oonstruotion to Send the Ore Down to Red Mountain Side- track—Getting Properties in Shape to Com- menos.

The No. 1 and thé Josie will at once join the list of shipping mines. Work has already eemmenced build- ing a new tramway for delivering their. ore to the Red Mountain tracks, and as,soon as it is ir shape the mines will each commence out- putting about 50 tons daily. The ore will go to the Northport smelter.

The developments in the two claims have proceeded so quietly that little has been known regard- ing the big reserves which are now in sight. Nevertheless the mines are now in shape to go steadily ahead with shipments.

The vertical shalt in the No. 1 is down 4o0o feet, and at the 200- and the 300-foot level a big ore chute four feet wide has been opened. Thus tar the development of the property has ptovenit to be 300 feet long and its farther extent is unknown. ‘Drifting to catch the vein is now in progress at the 400- foot level, and meanwhile Mothing is known as'to the ahowiie at that

Probably no line built in the last decade has cost so much as has. the system from Robson’ west, and cer- tainly few ‘roads in the,world pre- sented equal difficulties in construc- tion. The building of the Caradian Pacific down the Fraser river may have cost as much, but labor, and supplies were. much higher then, and the real work of building it was no ‘greater than the task of crossing the Gold range between Arrow lake and Christina lake.

The average cost of the present system has, been $30,000 per mile,

immensely. For two miles along McRae creek, just west of the sum- mit, the roadbed is cut almost en- tirely out of a solid rock bluff, which had to be blasted away for a height of 50 or 60 feet in order to make room forthe track. The cost of that section was $200,000, or $100,000 per mile.

The main tunnel at the head of Dog creek will prebably be cut through by the first of the year. At present the divide there is crossed on each side by a series of five switchbacks. The cost of driving the tunnelsis a surprise to most mining men. The huge holes, 18 feet high and 12° feet wide, have cost only $48 a foot: | Cheap labor and the size of the tunnels-have cut down the price of the work to the minimum.

The roadbed is one of the finest in the west and although it has been operated only 10 days it is as smooth as many a lire as many years old. The trip o over it is well

The entrance of the-No. 1 and! the Josie to ‘the shipping list will give nine producing mines to Ross- land. The. others are the Le Roi, the War Eagle, the Centre Star, the I. X.
