FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 12. 1901. NorrnwesicrnMines A DECREASE LIKELY Ore Men Estimate Season's Receipts at Lower Lake Ports. WHERE THE TROUBLE COMES IN fline» and Ships Under no Shortage, but Eastern Docks Are Not Adequate. Special to The Journal. Duluth, Minn., July 12.—Leading ore men are not looking for any increase in ore receipts at lower lake docks over 1900; indeed, they expect a decrease, and will be surprised it the total for the year reaches above 19,000,000 gross tons. "There is a shortage of facilities in low er lake docks," said one of them to-day, "and no shortage at mines and ships. If the ore now being carried down the lakes was in 25 per cent less ships, the total for the season would be as large as under present conditions. Docks there are already full up, and are getting choked very fast. Receipts at Conneaut for June were nearly 6U0.000 tons, the largest known there, but the docks are crowded and what will they do with the ore after this? If the money that was spent in ships last winter had been put into Lake Erie dock betterments it would have been more to the purpose, but the men that built the ships are not the men that own the docks. "1 have not made any guesses for the season's shipments based on a computa tion of the mines, but I figure that the ranges will be about as follows for the year: Minnesota ranges 10,000,000 tons, of which the Mesaba will do better than 8,000,000 and the Vermillion the rest. The Gogebic is good for about 3,000,000 and the ■ Marquette and Menominee each about as much. The Oogebic last year was 2,875,000 tons, the Marquette 3,457,000 and the Me nominee 3,261,000. These mines all lost a month in May and they cannot make It up; I do not say the mines can ship no more than these estimates, but the dif ficulty will be to get it forward. Some of the biggest concerns of the Marquette range are now stocking from their mines, and these are not sending out ore as fast as they had expected." There have been some peculiar sales of ore. One high-grade coarse ore, a desirable Mesaba bessemer, guaranteed 65 and .025, has been sold to the extent of 100,000 tons at $2»iS5 a ton. There are fixed charges on this ore of a 20-cent roy alty and a rail and lake freight of $1.60. Opposed to this are sales of a non besse mer running about 58 and .105 at $3.25; even the standard non bessemers of the Menominee are selling for a less price. But conditions opposed to absolute free dom of trade may have had something to do with this higher non bessemer price. Good independent old range ores are selling slowly, it is understood. The old Armenia mine, Menominee range, abandoned by Ferd Schlesinger in 1890, and not since opened until now, is again hoisting ore. Corrigan, McKinney & Co. are in charge. The ore is very wet, running about 10 per cent moisture, with 69.60 iron and .17 phos. On the same range the Foxdale is now shipping, putting Cre rar, Clinch & Co. back in the list of min ing operators. THE B. C. MINERAL OUTPUT Equal to About One-fourth of the State of Montana's. Special to The Journal. ! Vancouver, B. C, July 12. —The gov ernment of British Columbia has just is sued its detailed report of the output for 1900 of the mines of the province. The yield of the year is shown to have been the largest in British Columbia's record and on the whole in other j respects is *• satisfactory. ; The mineral products of the province aggregated in all last year $16,344,751 as against $12,393,131 in 1899, the percentage'of gain'thus shown be ing 32, or practically an advance of one third upon the previous year's yield. The gold production was easily the largest in British Columbia's record, amounting to $4,732,105 in value, of which $1,278,724 represented placer gold and the remainder lode gold. The increase of gold yield was 12% per cent. The sil ver yield also rose greatly, from $1,663,708 in 1899 to $2,309,200 last year. Copper represented a value of $1,615,289 and lead a wealth of. $2,691,887/ the output of lead more than doubling in 1900. The coal output realized $4,318,785 and that of coke a growing by-industry of- the colleries of British Columbia, $425,745. Other ma terials, chiefly lime, iron, building stone and brick, realized $251,740 in 1900. The total mineral output of . British Colum bia during the last year was consequent ly in value equal on sound figures to about one-fourth of that of the state of Montana. - With half the new year now expired, in dications are that the mineral yield of British Columbia will In 1901 pass in value the total of last year. There may and probably will be some decline in silver and lead—perhaps even to the ex tent of* $1,500,000 consequent upon lead depreciation and the action also of the smelter combine. But there should be a large gain ,of gold yield, so too in the output of coal and coke, though the coal oil field of California is to some extent lessening the foreign demand for the British Columbia coast coal. This de crease will, however, be far more than set off by the growth of home and for eign demand for the coal and coke of the Crow's Nest colleries. The copper out put of the province will probably also advance by at least 100 per cent in 1901. '• i' - . * . HERE'S A MINE Bweepittke Placer Property Prob ably Worth a Billion. Special to The Journal. San Francisco, July 12.—While the mining men of California were emigrating to the Klondike and the most distant and uncomfortable quarters of the earth in ••arch of fortunes, a fabulous treasure of fcold ley uader their feet at home. The re cent sale of the Sweepstake placer prop erty, on Oregon mountain, in Trinity county , to a company of eastern capital ists for $5,000,000, taxed the credulity of many mining men in this state. An expert found gold at the grass roots. The particles varied from minute sizes to pieces worth as much as a half a dollar. Much of the gold was of the size and shape in Convalescence After severe illness "a change" is advised, the patient is tola to "go to the country." Particularly is this true dur ing the warm months of the year. The first and most im portant thing to do is to take JOfIANN HOFFS MALT EXTRACT freely. It is a most wonder ful restorative and tonic, with out reaction—a builder. If you have not "the change" to pay for "a change" this will do the work. If you have, it will help materially by aiding digestion, inducing sleep and building you up. Avoid Substitutes. Use JOHANN HOFF'S and you will retain what you gain. of flaxseed. The expert found in the first two feet of surface soil bearing about 45 cents per cubic yard. In the old working, abandoned and supposed to be exhausted years ago, coarse nuggets were found. Within twenty feet from the surface nug gets of the value of $2. were obtained. In the lowest of the abandoned workings, about 350 feet 'below the surface, the nug gets varied in value from 50 cents to $10, nor had toed rock been reached at that depth. It is a certainty that in this, as in all other placer deposits in Galifornia, the largest nuggets will be found on bedrock. The bullion value of this gold from Sweep stake is $19.75 per ounce, troy. On an area of 1,000 feet wide and 2,000 feet long twenty-one pits were sunk to a depth of from two to four feet. The lowest result of any test was 45 cents and the highest was $4.08 per cubic yard. In addition to the placer prospects, there are untold millions in a rich conglomerate that could be developed into the greatest quartz mine on earth. Of this the expert took only passing notice, for he was cap tivated by the easy money in the placer. Estimating the deposit at 350 feet in depth, 1,000 feet in width and 10,000 feet in length, which is less than one half the length and width of the channel belonging to the Sweepstake, the mine, at 45 cents per cubic yard (the low«st test value) would yield $48,000,000. Frank H. Hall, discoverer of the mine and negotiator of the sale, gets two of the five millions for his personal share. Work on the ditch.which is to bring water to the mines is about to begin. The Cataract Gold Mining and Power company ot Min neapolis has valuable placer properties on the Feather river. SORTH BUTLER LODE] Mass Consolidated Crosscut Thought to Have Encountered It. Special to The Journal. Calumet, Mich., July 12.—At the Mass Consolidated mine a crosscut from the sev enth level in the Ridge shaft has en countered at a distance of 475 feet what is thought to be the North Butler lode. The lode has been penetrated for a dis tance of about twenty feet and it shows up well in mass and barrel copper. The third head at the Isle Royale mill is now stamping rock at irregular inter vals. Recently statements were made that the rock did not run 1 per cent mineral, but this is erroneous as offi cials in charge say it averages nearer 1% per cent. The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron company has commenced work on the new Wolver ine mill. The work will be rushed with all possible speed, as It is hoped to have the mill in commission by next spring when the Wolverine's lease on one head at the Allouez expires. An assessment of $4 per share has been levied on the stock of the Mass Con solidated company. Recent reports that the Wyandot mine had closed down are without foundation. The company employs several men in its diamond drill exploratory work. Complete returns from the other report ing mines of this district give the fol lowing products: Tons. Pounds. Atlantic 237 1,730 Baltic 150 Franklin 223 Construction work on the Redridge dam has progressed to such a degree that it is now the general expectation it will be completed by the first of Septem ber. The dam is constructed of concrete and steel, and elves a water level some twenty feet above the present dam, stor ing upwards of L 000,000,000 gallons. The dam is 475 feet in length and flanked by wings 200 feet on the west and 850 feet on the east. Nearly a million pounds of steel and 8,000 cubic yards of cement are used in the dam. When the work is completed the Atlantic and Baltic com panies will have an ample supply of water for stamping and all other purposes for years to come. BOUNDARY GOLD LANDS Milwaukee and Boston Men. in Search of the Yellow Metal. = Special to The Journal. Rat Portage, Ont., July 12.—M. M. Hun ter of Milwaukee has "been here looking over the H^lly Lake gold! mining proper ties in Jaffray township. „ He, is a member of a syndicate of seven Milwaukee ; and Boston capitalists who own a large block of gold - lands. They have done much prospecting and test-pitting work and now have five different crews of men sinking in as many different places on their hold ings. Mr. Hunter says that should the work show ,up as satisfactory as surface outcroppings indicate | that arrangements will be made to install a complete mining plant. - . , J. H. Caslor, C. P. Stevenson and H. H. Argue, of Buffalo, have been here to make arrangements to continue development work on the Grace mine on Eagle lake, adjoining the Eldorado. A rich discovery has been made in the Deer lake district by Frank Moore and Edmund Seager. The vein is of good width and shows much visible gold. 9190,000 GOLD BRICK Bis Clean-up by the Cariboo-Con ■oliduted Company. Special to The Journal. Vancouver, B. C, July 12.—A big clean up has just taken place at the hydraulic mine of the Cariboo Consolidated Gold Mining company at Bullion, Cariboo. It is estimated that about $190,000 worth of gold will result. This is being concen trated and pressed into brick form in order, so the management states, to send to the Glasgow exhibition absolutely the largest gold brick ever sent as a speci men of what a gold gravel mine can yield. A gold brick sent to New York last year from the same mine was worth some $135,000, and was then stated *o be the largest on record to date. ST. EI'UEXE MINE Next to l>e Roi as a British Columbia Producer. Special to The Journal. Spokane, Wash., July 12.—The annual report of the output of the St. Eugene mine at Moyie, B. C., places the product for the year at 630,000 ounces of silver and 21,000,000 pounds of lead of a total value of over $1,000,000. This property ■will now rank next to the Le Roi as a British Columbia producer. After spending $1,500, Donald McPhail uncovered six inches of black sulphides of iron at the Glance group on Bear Lake near Kaslo, that will assay 7,860 ounces in silver, valued at $4,716. Prom Northport, Wash., comes the re port that In excavating a flume on the Velvet mine at Sophie mountain a ledge was uncovered which is four feet wide and assays $62 to the ton. Two hundred men are employed. The mining market during the week was dull. The stocks that sold most read ily were Lone Pine, Black Tail, Tom Thumb, Reservation, Conjecture and Gold Ledge. ITUNNEI. REVEALED IT Arixona Copper Mountain Mining Company Is in Good Ore. The Phoenix, Ariz., Enterprise reports gratifying progress in the development work on the property of the Arizona Cop per Mountain Mining company, in which many Minneapolitans are interested. A tunnel on the east slope of the mountain has encountered a good body of conglom erate ore with the carbonates and oxides of copper predominating. The average value is from 9 to 12 per cent. Work is being pushed with two ten-hour shifts. The company has arranged for a fifty-toe smelter to be erected in the near future. Rumored Sale o« the Montreal. Ironwood, Mich., July 12.—There is a rumor here that the Montreal mine, on the Wiscon sin end of the Gogebic range, is to be sold to the American Mining company. Although the straws all point that way nothing definite can be ascertained, so closely are the move ments of the big companies guarded.—The underground electric tramming system at the Norrie mine went into operation last week after idleness of nearly a year, occasioned by the burning of the surface plant and ma chine shops. The new machine shop and electric plant is a model of completeness.

NO. 3 BOARDS SOLD UP TO $18 Week's Shipments of 17,250,000 Feet— Rates Are Unsettled but Are Getting; Firmer. Special to The Journal. Duluth, Minn., July 12.—Lumber prices are stiffening and sales made this week are at the top of the market so far, with sellers hoisting their quotations a trifle for the future. There have been some sales in the past few days; lumber on docks, lumber not yet made and lumber from cleaning up the mills. One sale of 1,500,000 feet of No. 3 and better was made by the Lesure Lumber company, and another of the same size by Peyton, Kimball & Barber. C. R. Ash has made sales aggregating several million feet, and the Merrill-Ring Lumber company has made such sales as clean up its No. 2 for the season. The price for No. 3 and better is in the neighborhood of $16, though the Peyton sale was between $18 and $18.50, being stock above the average. No. 4 boards are now worth about $10, with indications of an advance. Lath are selling freely, and to the west and southwest at prices that the east is not willing to pay. A large amount of Cloquet lath has gone into the southwest of late at from $2.50 to $3, which Duluth lum bermen have also sold there but a trifle under this figure. Shipments to Nebraska and west Mississippi points have been large the past few days. Shingles are going east in enormous quantity, and the volume of west coast shingles coming through here will be far in excess of any preceding year. Three of the largest sawmill concerns at the head of the lake are practically sold up for their higher grades for the sea son, or until very late, and the others are rapidly approaching that condition. Still there is lumber to be had by those seeking lots for purchase and early ship ment. The dry stock on docks is small and shipments of new lumber will gen-i THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. erally be in very soon. With fair weather for the present month It is likely that shipments will equal those of June, which were enormous. It had been hoped that they would exceed June, but that is not probable. A blockade of vessels at lower lake receiving ports, the rains and bad shipping weather at the upper ports, have combined to slacken matters somewhat for a few days. Still, the shipments of the past week have been very large, amounting to 17,250,000 feet. Vessel rates are unsettled and vary from $2.25 to $2.50, according to which side one sees last in seeking information. It is likely that if rates are not yet firm at $2.50 they will be shortly, for the same causes that combine to hoist ore freights will have their effect upon lumber ton nage owners and demand. The situation at Tonawanda is alleged to be quite puz zling and serious. There has been high water in most of the streams this week, but driving is not completed, though it is expected to be clean in due time. The streams rise with great rapidity and fall as quickly, and the water often is co high as to be aa serious a matter as though it were too low. The Nemadji and tributaries are especially troublesome. Water is very high on the upper Mississippi streams, and some of the smaller lakes in that re gion rose fourteen to sixteen inches last week. The Prairie rivevr drive is about at the mouth, and the 100,000,000 feet will soon be in deep water, out of the way of smallpox, mosquitoes, head winds and back country floods. Price Brothers and the Powers-Simpson company had charge of it. Cass Lake Mills Busy. Special to The Journal.
