The shaft on the Combination mine is down IV, feet, where it has entered the sulphide zone, the ore still carrying tine values up to $5t)ii er ton, the shiiiping grade averaging $300 per ton. The January lease is hoisting to the surface 14 tons of shipping ore daily, and in one day last week raised the record amount of $15,000 worth. The leasers have made a protit of $25.-0cash, have $3,000 sacks of shipping ore on dump, and ulxiut 1.500 tons milling ore worth $40 to $M per ton. On the Red Top claim, north of the Combination, on a lease of 300 feet on the north end granted to J. F. Bradley, the representative of Keith and Kearns, of Sait Lake, ore in value from $123 to $487 per ton Is now being sunk on and sacked for shipment. This ore was uncovered in a surface trench. On the Florence, southeast of the Combination, a drift on the ledge at the 50 foot level has struck a shoot two and one-ha- lf feet wide averaging $500 per ton. And on the Jumbo, east of the Florence and a parallel vein, lessess are sacking ore, VHlue $125 per ton ncross four feet of the vein.

In the meantime water has been developed to the extent of 15,000 gallons per day close to the mines and is being piped to the Combination and January 00 properties. Mr. Francis L. Bosqui, of San Francisco, Is designing a plant for the Combination which will probably be dry crushing and cyanlding, his tests of this process having been thoroughly satisfactory. 25-fo- ot Sprlng-fleld-Neva- HOW ANTHRACITE WAS MADE. The peculiarity of the Pocahontas coal Is to be found In its low content of ash and volatile matter, as well as of sulphur and other impurities and the resultant high percentage of fixed carbon with the high calorific value that follows upon such conditions. The Pocahontas vein Is thought to correspond to the anthracite vein of red ash coal of the Lykens valley, near Pottsville, Pa. The geological explanation of the difference Is that the anthracite bed was subjected to a more thorough coking process under pressure than the Pocahontas portion of the vein, while the latter owes Its lack of volatile matter to the foot that it was subjected to heat under pressure for a more protracted period than the bituminousa roals of western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Just what this process actually was, geologists are as yet by no means positive, beyond the bare outline that has been given. G. L. Fowler in the Engineering Magasine. TIN MINE FAILURES. Next to the Harney Peak tin mining fiasco that of the Temescnl tin mines of California comes second. The Temencal tin mines were exploited in 1890 and continued until 1892 and, like the Harney Peak affair, was exploited by an English company. Reduction works were built. The ore was smelted in Cornish reverberatory furnaces and petroleum was used as fuel. The ores averaged three to three and one-ha- lf per cent black tin. In the couple of years of operation 135 tons of tin were extracted, then the mine was closed and nothing has been done since.' The ore was too poor to be profitable. ,!! lllXil l,' ll.isill ll.lK lUTI'SSl- - a suspi'csinn nf iiirk until siii li l time ;is tile lasiiig is 'ishi'i! m t ur Hu- in,ui:iui'!i:i-li- t ivsmls h In .i siilistiuu".

In 1897 there were but eight producing mines in the Michigan copper district much the smallest number for many years. During the quarter century preceding that year the tendency was to discontinue operations at the outlying mines. This resulted in a gradual contraction of the limits of the active mining area of the Keween-avva- n copper belt, by which Keweenaw and Ontonagon counties were practically eliminated from the list of producers. The revival of copper mining in the Luke Superior district dates from 1897. In that year the active district was less than 20 miles In length, extending from the 'Wolverine on the north, although the Central, In Keweenaw county, was still making a little copper, to the Atlantic mine on ce Ogden Milling Elevator Co. Summer Comfort the south. Since then the field of active mining has lengthened until It now extends from the Hamilton, west of the Ontonagon river, to the Phoenix Consolidated, well toward the eastern end of Keweenaw Point, a distance nf upwards of 75 miles. Seven years 8 go there were only eight producing mines, while today there are seventeen, and ere the summer Is far advanced there will be nine- Is governed largely hy what we eat and drink, and the healthful condition of the system.

Whether or not Lake Superior will furnish many more new producers in the next few years is a matter merely for speculation, and will remain to he seen. Certain It Is, however, thst there is not likely to he witnessed such growth In the next decade as experienced In the past seven years. As previously mentioned, two properties will have commenced producing before the summer is old, but other than these there are no new sources of supply In sight this year.
