} , v IPEIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 190 L NorlhwesternMines BETTER THAN 1900 Daily Lake Ore Movement Looms Up as Never Before. OLD RECORDS TO BE ECLIPSED llu»U On, In Wheat bartering—A (Splendid Showing Made by ii*v the Pioneer Mine* ■peclal to The Journal Ixiluth, Minn., Sept. 13.—< Lake ore ship ments are Just about equal to those for the same period a year ago, and the daily movement is largely ahead of the corre sponding period in 1900, The movement out of Lake Superior alone in August, 1901, was 2,920,000 gross was; in August, 1900, It was 2,285.000 tons. The big ship pers are still busy chartering loose ton nage, getting themselves out of the way for the expected grain movement and clearing the deck, as It were. Just now the most interesting phase of the lake situation Is the Duluth wheat charter ing. This is going on at the rate of from 600.000 to double as many bushels daily, arwj there are now probably 15,000,000 bushels chartered for fall delivery. Wheat is coming Into Duluth at the rate of from 600 to 1,000 carloads daily, and is increas ing. Most of this vast volume will be sant down the lakes this falL Minnesota mines shipped In August 1.950,000 tons, nearly half of it over the Duhith & Iron Range road, the Gogebic range, 500,000 tons; Marquette, 420,000, and Escanaba, 700,000 tons. As Bhowing what may be done by con tinuous work, skilful planning and care ful management and first-class equip ment, the record of the Pioneer mill for August Is a stunner. Out of its one shaft 62,680 gross tons were hoisted in the month, twenty hours to a day. The shaft has two ships running in balance. Pioneer "will probably hoist this year 650,000 tons, and when its new Btee.l shaft Is completed *ill be in & position to equal the largest underground mines. An exploration shaft at the West Lud lngton mine, Menominee range, has been sunk 800 feet, and ls to go twice as deep if necessary. On the way down explora torn work will be carried along. It is likely to be the most thorough explora tion ever given for ore. Over $500,000 has been spent by various persons in a search i r the Ltudlngton ore on this property, •but none, nor all together, have carried forward such careful ■work as is in prog ress now. A heavier output than expected will be made at the Regent mines, Negaunee, and the management is looking for more men. t'ambria and Lillle mines of the Repub lic Iron & Steel Co., are not looking well, and the company must transfer more and more of its business to the Mesaba range. The Chicago & North-Western road has appointed John D. Campbell of Negaunee general agent for its Iron ore traffic in Michigan and Wisconsin, with headquar ters at Chicago. The North-Western handles more iron ore than any road in the world and certainly needs a special superintendence. Mr. Campbell's qualifi cations are of the highest order. MOKTAXA COPPER Helena Mining Men May Develop a Camp Second, to Butte's. Special to The Journal. Helena, Mont., Sept. 13.—The Eva May shaft in the Cataract district is now down OU> feet and has demonstrated what was always believed to 'be a fact, that per manent copper ore bodies would be found •with d«pth in this district. There has been more or less copper ore in all of the claims in the Cataract district, even in the upper levels, but the Eva May Is the first one to demonstrate that permanent copper ore bodies exißted at the lower levels. Much Butte capital is n»T going into this district. In other sections of the state and especially in the immediate vicinity of Helena, several mining syndi cates, companies and Individuals are de veloping copper ledges without any ex pectation of finding ore until the shafts are sunk to a great depth. The Clark and Heinze shafts in the suburb* of Helena are an illustration. The East (Paclflo mine at "Winston, bo famous for the rich strikes, reports an other one In the winze sunk from the fourth level of the mine at a depth of 934 feet from the surface. Two carloads of ore have been shipped from the west drift at the bottom of this wince that netted at the smeller $2,999.32. It Ls reported that a bed of sand asphal tum, valuable for street paving purpose and essaying from 14 to 24 per cent asphaltum, has been discovered five miles from the Northern Pacific railroad in eastern Montana. The development in the Greenhorn cop per district ls creating much interest among mining men of the capital. The Punches property ie looking better than ever, and there seems to be ore in every direction. R. A, Bell, who purchased a group of claims In the new district, has bought a complete outfit of supplies and tools, and will start work at one of his claims. Other claims in the same district are being developed, and it looks as if a copper district second only to Butte will be the result. C. W. Fleming Is chipping fifteen car loads of high-grade ore a week from the Bell mine to the smelter at Helena. The Bell is looking better than ever. The total olean-up of the old Elkhorn mill amounted to $4^500, just one-half of the price paid by the Longmaids for the prop erty. The valuea were in gold and silver and in quicksilver about the old mill. TO THE FRONT AGAIX X>e«erted Penokce Iron Range May Yet Make Good. Special to The Journal. Ashland. Wis., Sept. IS.—A recent dis covery of Iron ore on the long- ago desert ed Penokee iron range which stretches along (from Hurley, past Mellen and Min eral Lake and beyond White River in Ashland county, has caused a flurry among people generally and companies are being formed for the purpose of developing cer tain points on the range where it Is sup posed ore in huge quantities is embedded. 'About a month, since a miner named Quest, -who resides at Hurley and- who has been "working cm the range all summer ■with machinery, made a find of ore which is so promising that hundreds of Ash landers hare visited the scene and are now preparing for the formation of stock com panies. One company was formed this "week of Ashland county citizens, most of ■whom reside at Mellen and points down the Central rail-way and a capital of 115.000 was raised in cash, for the develop ment of the property where Guest made his discovery. The company has filed its articles and will be known as the Guest [Mining company. . Years ago the Penokee range was lauded for its wealth of ore, and certain people, financially unable to do much prospecting, went to th« range with a view to develop ing mines. . Becoming disheartened most of them gave up the enterprise, conclud- j Ing that the property was worthless from a mineral standpoint. About this time ! the boom days "were on at Iron-wood and Hurley, the GogeJbia range centers, and the Peuoke© range wae left deserted. CONGLOMERATE XX NATIONAL, Boom In Copper Gives Xe\r Life to Old " Properties. Special to The Journal. ;--: Calumet, Mich., Sep.t 13.— continued high price of copper will no doubt have a marked effect on the Lake Superior cop per district during the next few years through, the exploration of virgin territory and tb« development of the old. : Interest is manifested in mines long idle and this , Call will see the rehabilitation of several propertlw. The old Conglomerate in K&wemaam ; county «wi!l be • worked at an early ; data. Reports have been current tie pMt • few "weeks that this. mine will soon pass into the control of people prom*. inent in the affairs of the United States Steel company, who were Instrumental in the floatation oX the Immensely popular Calumet & Ariaona. The Conglomerate property has "been worked at various times in the past and probably $3,000,000 lg a fair estimate of the total amount ex pended. The property consists of about 21,000 acres, 4,000 of which are on the min eral range. The company owns a large quantity of timber, several dwellings, and a mine equipment valued at more than $600,000. In the event of mining being re sumed work will t>© confined to the amg daloid lodes. Another property reported as likely to be reopened soon is the National, in Onto nagon county, adjoining the Michigan mine. The National is controlled by D. L. Demmon of Boston. It Is one of the old est mines in this district, having been or ganized in 1848, but has been idle since 1893. Minnesota capitalists who recently se cured options on land about lour miles from the Wlnona mine, have also obtained an option on 820 acres adjoining the first tract. A. force of men is expected at an early date who will thoroughly explore the lands. Thomae Buzzo of Laurlum will be one of the party. Camps will be es tablished and work started as soon as the men arrive. They will go over the ground thoroughly in the hope of finding the Bal tic lode. The Manhattan property, located In Ke weenaw county, has heen sold to Calumet and Hancock men. The Arcadian Is ex tending a crosscut from one of its shafts on the Mesnard epldote to Intersect the Pewabic lode. This is the richest amyg daloid lode in the lake district and com panies working on it have paid nearly $16,000,000 in dividends. SHIPPED IX CHIDE STATE Hew Departure in Mining Methods in the Coenr u"Alene«. Special to The Journal. Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 13.—The Etruscan Gold Mining company filed articles of in corporation with the county recorder last week, and has already commenced work on two claims which it has bonded near Murray. The work is of a nature new to that district, and may result in c decided change in mining methods In the gold belt. The first proposition is to take out sixty tons of ore and ship it to Butte for smelt ing in its crude state, in order to find exactly what it will yield under such con ditions. Heretofore all the gold ore' mined in the Coeur d'Alenes has either been worked for the free gold it carried ! or else concentrators attached to the | mills and the concentrates shipped for i smelting. There are few properties there j on which analytical assays have ever been j made, or even mill tests other than those j afforded by the crude milling devices in vogue in the camp. The Golden Chest has milled more ore | than any other three properties there, and it is admitted that for years it was well satisfied when it saved one-half of the value as shown by assay. Now all its tailings are being run over Wilfley tables, and the saving is presumably much closer, although with increased depth the ore has become baser and the free milling contents are much smaller. From Murray to Wallace the ore must be hauled by wagons, twenty miles over two ranges of mountains, involving a cost of $10 a ton in addition to the regular railroad freight and smelter charges, so it is not likely the experiment will pay except by the knowledge it will give, but if it is shown that the ore will pay for smelting in its crude state u»der favora ble conditions better than by concentra- \ tion, it may result either in the erection of a smo.ll smelter on the ground or in the building of a railroad from Wallace to Murray In order to reach the gold mines. MARBLE AND MICA Something in the Hill* Beside Gold- Detroit Company at Work. Special to The Journal. Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 13.—The Black Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble com pany of Detroit, Mich., has penetrated a I fine ledge of marble six miles northeast I of Custer, with a diamond drill. The I ledge outcrops at that point and several | thousand dollars have been expended in opening it up. The drill was sunk sev eral hundred feet from the workings and it penetrated thirty feet of the finest ! kind of marble. The company Is work- j ing many men in Custer county, having three separate forces, one at the marble, another at the mica mine and the third at the lithograph stone quarry. The com pany has just shipped $8,000 worth of mica and has eight car loads, valued at $40,000, ready for shipment. Work was commenced this week on the I sixty-ton cyanide plant in the Yellow j Creek mining district, by the Adler Creek j Mining company. Ther are large shoots of quartzite ore, which run about $8 a ton gold. It is one of the best kinds of cy aniding in the Hills. Machinery has commenced to arrive at Ragged Top for the 100-ton cyanide plant that is being erected by the Deadwood- Standerd company, in which Ed Hanschka of this city and W. O. Morrison and brother, of Colorado City are interested. The company owns ground that carries an extension of the large shoot of lime ore that is outputting 225 tons a day for the Spearfish company. Some $50,000 will be expended In the erection of the mill. The University Mining company expects to encounter ore in a few days in a shaft that is being sunk on Spring creek, nine miles northwest of Custer. A ledge of ore was followed down eighty feet on an in cline, and a shaft is now being sunk to strike it at a depth of about 100 feet. A complete steam hoisting plant has been installed and a night shift was put on this week. The stock at this company is held for the most part in the eastern part of South Dakota. University students or ganized the company. Lium'ber is on the ground for a stamp mill which will be erected just as soon as the ore is struck again. The assays run from $7 to $66 a ton gold. MIXES WITH SULPHUR Many Inquiries at Rat Portage- What Old Prospectors Say. Special to The Journal. Rat Portage, Ont., Sept. 13.—Inquiries are being made for mines that will yield sulphur. Several prospectors say there are many veins in which sulphur is found in combination with iron and copper, but it remains to be proven whether it will pay for the extraction. It is stated that the same ore carries gold in sufficient quantity to pay the expenses of mining and treatment and that the sulphur will be all profit. A. H. Smith has made a deal with a syn dicate to open up a mining property in this vicinity which he located some time ago. A contract is being made for sink ing a shaft. It is reported that the owners of the Black Sturgeon mine will resume work on their property, having obtained a verdict in a lawsuit which has been pending for over three years. Some remarkably fine mica specimens have been brought to Rat Portage, and further investigations of the quality and quantity are being made. TO CtT THE DOAJfE VEIN Rambler Mining- Company of Grand Encampment Hard at Work. Special to The Journal. Grand Encampment, Wyo., Sept. 13. — Over 100 feet of driving has been done on the tunnel which was started less than six weeks ago by the Rambler Mining company on its group adjoining the Doane mine. Only one shift has been employed. The rock is gradually hardening end some little water has followed the cutting of several stringers, so that the manage ment is not confident that it can maintain the rate of progress. One hundred and fifty feet- must be attained before the main lead of the Rambler group is tapped. The Doane mine was recently sold to Chi cago men for $2,000,000. Copper ore In the Doane In car load lots shipped to mnelter gives from 36 per cent to 50 per cent copper. The Rambler Mining company is running its tunnel to cut the Doane vein.

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 13.—Colonel How ard M. Kutchim, special treasury agent, has just returned from a 7,000 mile reve nue cutter trip to out of the way Alaskan waters. He has been gone since May 14 and was the only passenger on the cut ter. He resorts as follows: The aggregate pack of the Alaska can neries will exceed that of last year—the number of cases put up reaching 1,750,000. This increase is due to the new canneries. The total pack of the old plants will not equal last season's. Additional equip ment, new machinery and new plants are responsible for the growth of the in dustry in the north. In Bering sea the addition of eight new canneries will increase the pack there by at least 100,000 cases. Some of the old concerns, however, show a marked decline. The pack in southern Alaska will be the largest in the history pf that country. It is composed almost entirely of humpbacks, or, as they are called, the pir.k salmon. The sockeye run is largely fished out, and, in fact, is nearly exhausted. This exhaustion is caused by the excessive fishing which has been in progress for years. Ariflcial propagation Is the only escape from the inevitable result of over-fishing. Permanent muscular strength cannot exist where there is not blood strength. Young men giving attention to muscular development should bear this in mind. Hood's Sarsaparilla gives blood strength and builds up the whole system. San Francitco and Return $59.
