MINING NOTES. NOTES. The laat shipment of ore from the Jennie mine, in Idaho, the property ol John Beck, carried gold values o' 130. A flue body of ore has been found in an old well at Cheney, Washington, and quite a mining craze in that local ity ia the consequence. The Crystal mine at Maryavale, Utah, ia to be provided with a mill, that the metals of which it ia capable may b sent out in the form of bullion instead of crude form. The Anaconda Copper Mining Com pany this month has shipped east 380 bars of refined silver, each bar containing from 1100 to 1300 ounces of tha precious white metaL Jim Yerington has bonded a mica mine in Lincoln county, Nev and the samples cut out 24x34 inches. It lathe finest variety ever discovered in that country, and perhaps ia unequaled in the United States. An Idaho man engaged in placer mining recently found a very large blue sapphire, unusually pure and one of the largest ever found. He refused an offer of S3, 500 for it from Tiffany ol New York, and is now en route ta Europe to realize its full worth. A force of men ia now at work on the IVurl Morris lode in Silver City, Utah, and the showing is very encouraging. In the sha't, which is less than ten feet deep, a streuk of ore has been encountered which shows assay values of 913.60 in gold. Work at the Molly Bswn ia progress Ing very favorably, the whim being already in place and the timbers and ladders in the mine. Two men are now at work, and the force will shortly lie increased and the shaft pushed down as rapidly as possible. There is considerable excitement in mining circles south of Tintic over the discovery of large deposits of mineral two miles north of Leamington, and also at Oak Creek, 13 miles south of that place, and as a consequence this locality is just now experiencing quite . eye-sock- et 'r w stereo-telescop-e. stereo-telescop- es a liooin. A Salt Lake City mining expert has just returned from (irand Encampment, Wyo.. where lie attempted to buy the Golden Eagle claim, the first on which gold was discovered in the. district. He offered the owners 913,000 cash for s a interest in the mine, tiie remaining eigtli to lie forever nonassessable. The offer was refused. Major A. Y. llolin, the well known ville mining operator, after mak a ing cureful examination of the mines of ('amp Floyd district, including Lion hill and the west dip, states that the camp ia but in its infancy yet, and that developments yet to be made will surprise the mining world. He believes that Camp Floyd will yet open out into the greatest gold camp in the known world. The ore body in the A. J. of Aspen, Cola, has been driven into on the sixth level for a distance of thirty-sevefeet and the drift is still in ore. Developments on the seveuth level show tha ore body to be richer than on the sixth. A grab sample across the face of the face averages 380 ounces, while defined streaks running through the ore run 1300 ounces. It ia generally conceded to be the biggest strike ever made in the camp. In Montana there is a law providing for the payment of a fee of 50 cents for each 91,000 of cspital stock on filing articles of incorporation. Last week the Seven Devils Mining company filed papers for a capitalization of 910,000, which at the rate of 50 cents for 91,000 necessitated paying a fee of 93. A day or so later a meeting was called and the capitalization was increased to The fee for filing such 91,000,000. increase of capitalization is but 95. Thun it cost the Seven Devils but 910 to file papers for a 91,000,000 company. This is a saving of 9490 to the incorporseven-eighth- la-a- d n thirty-seven-fo- ot ators. The report of the strike made in the Mollie Oil won grouud at Aspen seems to lie fully justified. The vein of metallic ore is five feet wide and runs 80 per rent, silver, over which is a layer of gray copper one foot thick which runs 3.000 ounces of silver to the ton. .hist above this layer of gray copper is found a 'ayer of shale three feet thick v.'I.ich runs non ounces silver to the ton. it is said that 9100,000 is now in sight. The lease under which this ora is being taken out expired the day the strike was made, but it is stated that the company will permit the lessees to contiune work. The statistics collected from Mineral Industry, the annual supplement of tha Engineering and Mining Journal, show that the total value of the mineral and mineral production of the United Ntates in 1898 was 9731,733.783, an Increase over 1893 of 919,791,364. 1 who rules In absolute despotism at Khartoum.

While a British expedition ia going to the Soudan, a Belgian expedition from the Congro Free State, which has an outlet on the West Coast of Africa, has started for the aame region. This expedition has been by Houssas, native troops, from the British colony of Sagos, also on the west coast The Belgians are probably now fighting in the heart of Africa. The brutalizing occupation of the Europeans in Africa does not tend to make them humane and generous In their treatment of one another. The whole world haa lately been reading about one illustration of this fact A body of Englishmen, supposed to be the pick of the pioneers of their race In Africa, being chiefly officers and men of the military police of the British South Africa company, has made a murderous raid Into the Transvaal, one of the few colonies in Africa that have any claim to respectability. It Is said that the Boers are pretty high handed with the natives, but the fact that there are so many of the latter left in the Transvaal after so long a period of colonization is in itself a tribute to their masters. These Englishmen started out cheerfully with machine guns and other arms to enter the territory of a foreign and friendly state and slaughter the peaceful and unoffendiug people. Even the severe defeat they received did not make them realize that they had dene wrong. Their African experience had destroyed their moral tense. It must not be supposed that the defeat of Jamesons raiders snd their shipment to England has ended the trouble in the more civilized parts of South Africa. There is Intense and warlike hostility between the English and the Dutch elements In Cape the Orange Free State, and the Transvaal.
