The Spokane Chronicle announces that F. Augustus Heinze of Butte has secured control of the Alameda Mining companys property near Burke, or Ida., at a valuation of $375,000 more. Lessees on Block 1 of the Lou Dillon Goldfield property have opened of eight feet of $G0 ore at a depth e feet. The vein la clearly defined and presents every Indication of permanency. The Minerva mine, at Atlanta, Idavalho, is constantly proving more uable. During September the mill was running full time, a cleanup being made at the close of the month. The total saved on the plates In bullion was $12,000. What may be called a sensational strike has been made at tbe Walton No. 2 on Conor creek, in Idaho. At a depth of twelve feet a fine quality of ore has been encountered, assays showing as high as $100 to tbe ton in lead, gold and silver. Articles of Incorporation of the Weber County Mining ft Milling company were filed with the secretary of state last week. The company will be located at Ogden, and owns a number of promising claims In Weber county, Utah. The capital stock is $50,000. The Newhouse Mines & Smelters company is hustling for laborers, mine muckers, caipenters and other classes of skilled and unskilled labor with the Idea of enlarging its field of operations at the Cactus, in Beaver county, Utah, now conceded to be one of the greatest copper mines of the country. The sale of the noted Falrvlew group of claims at Seven Troughs, Nevada, by the discoverers, William Kavanaugh and J. J. Mackedon of Goldfield, to Senator Reed Smoot and a number of other Utah capitalists, marks a deal of the utmost importance to that district and Humboldt county in general. No such wild trading in mining stock as occurred last week has ever been witnessed before on the New York curb market. Thousands of shares have been bought and sold by persons who did not know what sort of properties they were buying or In some instances what was the par value of the stock sold. The entire Idaho district of Yankee Fork is splendidly mineralized. The operations upon the Sunbeam property have demonstrated that there Is a tremendous amount of rich free milling gold ore with comparatively shallow depths, the ore closely resent bling that of the great Shoshone mlno of the Bullfrog, Nev., district. The biggest mining deal in the history of Goldfield is about to be consummated. George Wingfield, for himself and associates, has kought sufficient stock in the Jumbo and Red Top mines to give them control of the properties. The stock purchased belonged to the Taylor boys and to Hughey and Colburn, all four pioneers and locators of the ground.

One of the Kama Tunneling machines Is to be in operation In Idaho as soon as the company can catch up with Its orders. This Is the machine that bores a tunnel much as a carpenter puts a hole through a plank. The machine Is to be tried out In the Hailey district One of the most Interesting of recent developments In Idaho has taken place In the property of the Pathfinder Gold ft Copper company on Queens river, just below Atlanta, In the discovery of ore from 1G to 18 feet thick that assays from $17 to $55 In gold and silver. After a close down of a few months, during which the superintendent of the property has been In Nevada, looking after Interests of the big men In the company, announcement Is made that work Is to bo resumed at the Diamond ft Nimrod properties at Park City, Utah. Leasers on the Surprise claim, In American Fork canyon, Utah, are jubilant over a recent new strike. They have encountered a large body of rlrh lead carbonate ore. which has all the appearances of being permanent They claim to have over $10,000 worth of ore In sight now. A carload of ore will be shipped in the near future from the Hayes Mon-nett- e lease on the Mohawk that will contain $l,000,fl00 worth of gold says the Goldfield News, The ear will have a cnpaelty of fifty tons, which would mean sn average value of 0 for each 2,oo0 pounds.

Wall street at first was Inclined to make light of "lady statisticians," as It sneerlngly called them. Miss Kate M. Giles labored under the handicap of sex when she first began to give out figures on the condition of the cotton crop and estimates of the size of the yield. Finally It dawned on ths masculine cotton experts that they had better look to their own laurels, and since then Miss Giles has been permitted to pursue her work undisturbed. Mrs. Burch In many respects Is the best trained cotton statistician who has ever been connected with the New York cotton market When she resigned from the bnreau of statistics last year Secretary Wilson said of her: She Is a very able woman and probably capable of issuing as good a report as Hyde himself. She became associated with the bnreau of statistics about ten years ago, when Henry A. Robinson was its chief. She occupied a subordinate position at the time, but rapidly worked her way upward. When John Hyde became chief of the bureau Mrs. Burch was appointed his secretary, as she was familiar with statistical work and was an excellent stenographer. During the Hyde regime Mrs. Burch became acquainted with the methods of her superior. She learned bow the reports were made up and how the replies from the different classes of correspondents were weighed. She soon learned that it was wise to add a grain of salt to the tale of damage related by some crop killer," as well as to wJ'1 When thePeI otes, lif tra city rejolclni inepertir changed Count v to-da- J by 1 the He C8 terview, thing d( presslor talnty t part he jence o tkrf- - The J walking promeni the wei -Ah, what go cried, or neec upon h "I ha some of th said (An that sh other p MRS.
