Otto Trojanowsky, millwright of Coeur d'Alene, came back last week from the Premier mine in the Portland canal district of British Columbia where he supervised mill construction for about a year.

Shipments last winter averaged over 800 dollars per ton. A tramway to connect the mine with water transport is planned and about 300 men are expected to be employed this summer.
