The Granby company has started to work on a tramway to be used In nection with the new crusher recently ordered for the mine. The tramway will be 1000' feet long and will be of the three rail pattern, except at the turnout. The Velvet mine, at Rossland, Is now fairly launched as a producer. Ship ments are being made regularly to the extent of a couple of cars weekly, with an Increase on this number from time to time, says the Rossland Miner. Only high grade ore is being sent to the smelter. Professor J. R. PaTks. the noted min eralogist and mine geologist, has con cluded his examination of the Arllng* ton and Speculator properties, Slocan, and upon his suggestion the companies, acting In concert, will pro ceed with the erection of large works for the treatment of their ores. Once established, the mill will treat the con tents of the vein entire, together with all the existing dumps. The smelting plant at Crofton does not lack a single modern Improvement, In either arrangement or economical working. The newly patented Garrett son furnace has such economy of oper ation that even if it accomplished one half what Its Inventors claim for it smelters all over the world must adopt It. The Inventors, father and son, worked at It for 10 years. They utilize the sulphur and iron in the ore and thus reduce the cost of coke. They also do away altogether with the con verting plant, which is so expensive a portion of a smelter establishment. Roughly, they say that the cost of smelting is just one-quarter under their process what It is under prevailing methods. Their furnace takes the ore as It comes from the mine, it is charged into the top and come« out at the bottom as blister copper. They have combined the three existing proc esses and the whole operation takes place In one apparatus. as MISCELLANEOUS MINING NEWII. Lead comes next to iron In Its out put in Missouri.

Public announcement has been made of the purchase of the Congress gold properties of Congress, Ariz., by the Development company of America. The consideration was not announced. The bunkhouse and cookhouse of the Jumbo mine at Buffalo Hump burned recently. The winter supplies for the mines were destroyed. The total loss Is about $5000. All the men lost their clothing and belongings. on resources are one The newq has been received that Bert Rlgiey Young, one of three dis coverers of the Big Buffalo mine in Buffalo Hump, had shot and killed him self in Sacramento, Cal., after shooting and mortally wounding his wife. j D. M. Snyder, superintendent of the ! Zala M. mine, says that 18 men are employed stoping ore on the 100, 150, 200 and 300 foot levels. He has been shipping from 12 to 15 tons of ore a day, the most of it coming from the 300 foot level. ** fit apply The ore body struck In the Califor nia mine negr Republic recently fully justifies the glowing reports that have been made on it. The ore is heavy with chalcopyrite, carries quite a nice percentage of lead, and is very rich looking. There are about (15 men now employed In the mine. The lately Issued volume of treas ury statistics, embracing 24 years from 1877-78 to 1900-1901, show Mexico pro duced during that period $1,994,623, 128 of silver and $67,117,227 of gold. In other words, the production of sil ver was over 16 times as much as the production of gold. The Empire State-Idaho Mining com pany has started to repair 2800 feet of the large flume leading to the Tiger Poorman mine. The flume starts at to the the large dam In the canyon over a mile above Burke.

A mining deal has been closed at Butte, Mont., in which 320 acres of coal land, embracing the Kearns group in the celebrated Trail Creek dis trict, Mont., have passed to the Inter Moun tain Mines company of Spokane, Wash. The property is secured of S. M. Wade of Livingston, Mont., who still retains an Interest. It le understood that In the neighborhood of $25,000 was paid for the property. Bids were opened on the 15th for the construction of the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy for the world s fair. This will stand near the Liberal Arts and Government buildings, In the southern part of the main group of ex hibit palaces. Its dimensions are 525 by 750 feet, covering over nine acres. The estimated cost Is $500.000. The contractor will be required to have It completed August 31, 1903. Probably one of the best copper strikes ever made in the Coeur d'Alene country was recently made on the property of the Park Copper & Gold Mining company, located on Stevens peak, about five miles south of Mullan. In many places the rock contains streaks of native copper, and the own ers of the property, who have just ex amined the strike, say the vein is fully 10 feet wide. The owners are enthusi astic over the new discovery. The Northwestern Sampling & Mill ing plant, located about a mile west of Wallace, Idaho, has been sold by the Mineowners' Association to the Amerl càn Smelting & Refining company. The plant was turned over to the new com pany on. October 1. The consideration has not been made public. The plant has been established for the past 12 or 13 years. All the ore produced from the mines of this district is sampled at the plant before it Is shipped to the refinery. Tonopah, Nevada, is very quiet at the present time. The leases on the Mispah have all expired and the com pany is putting in new hoisting ma chinery and preparing to work the mine in a systematic way. The Mis pah Extension company has struck quite a body of ore. The extension is a group of mines on the opposite side of Mount Oddie. This proves that the ore vein runs through the mountain. In the Gold Hill mine they are taking out some very rich ore. C. G. Carruthers and Howard B. Dennis, general manager and foreman, respectively, of the Old Dominion mine, are exhibiting samples from the new etrike on that property that eclipses the richest product of the fam ous mine in Its palmiest days. The ore is bromide and chloride of silver, and they say It will run as high as 800 ounces in silver to the ton, with a lib eral percentage of lead. The vein from which the ore is taken lies in virgin ground, and is a prolongation of Solo mon's cave, from which the rich ore was extracted when the property under the management of the Kearney brothers 14 years ago. One hundred and twenty-six sacks of the ore have been taken out and shipments will be gin at once. The flumes and all the machinery of both the concentrator and the compressor plants are being repaired as rapidly as possible, and over 1600 feet of the lower tunnel, which is over 3000 feet in length, have been cleaned out and the work of open ing up the tunnels will continue with all possible speed until completed.
