Elliott, barister, of Trout Lake City, who was in Nelson yester-day, states that there is considerable | work going on among the mines inlt; that vicinity. The Silver Cup owned by the Sunshine mines, is working 43 men. About 200 tons of ore will be taken down to the landing for shipment before navigation closes on the northwest arm of Arrow Lake. After that quantity is taken out the remainder will be Btoied in a warehouse the C.P.R.has built at the lake. The company expects to take out 1,500 tons this winter. Od the Nettie L. a simi lar quantity will be taken out and about GO men will be kept busy getting out ore and doing development work. The Beatrice, the Horseshoe and Ihe Ruffled Grouse will each make another shipment this winter. On the Ruffletd Grouse a new strike of 14 inches of grey copper has been made. The ore will assay 1,500 ounces to the ton. Mr. Pool has made a splendid strike on the Kathleen group owned by the Great Western Mining company. A ledge of eight inches of grey copper was uncovered and has been traced through one claim aud puit of another. The Senorita,on Canyon oreek, is being developed and in the tunnel a good chute of ore has been struck. The Lardeau Valley Mining company will pursue development work ail winter on its property or Tenderfoot creek. The Mountain Lion company, which is composed of Minneapolis people, lias struck 12 inches of dean ore in the American claim near Gerrard, the 0. P. R. town site at the foot of the lake. The Black Warrior is also another promising claim in course of developmentThese are only a few of the better known claims which w^rk is being done. There is also a great deal of work, Mr. Elliott said, being done going on ou properties up Duncan river, chief among which are the Primrose, Old Gold, Guinea Gold and Lardo-Dunoan companies. On tbe two first named some very rich ore has been got out while tho body is so large that what is taken out in development has assumed such proportions that it will have to be packed 18 miles tj market so as to make way for what is taken out as work advances. That part of the country is much in need of a railway.Mr. Elliott came down particularly on business regardingthe Stella group of 27 claims on Pool creek. This group has an immense lead of copper, bornite and grey copper, in a quartz and calcite gangue. Picked specimens have given assays of 60 per cent, copper and rock which to the naked eye has no appearance of conta ining any copper assays 4 per cent, and over. The outcrop is apparently a mountain of copper, the showing ou the surface is about 2,000 feet wide and has been traced through all the claims of the group. It is such a very large showing that a considerable sum of money will require to be expended before the value of the property can be ascertained even approximately. Some Nelson people are interested in the property.ON CIGARSLabor Federation Allows Machines If Men Work Them.Metal Trades Organize to Deal Direct With Employers.Scranton, Pa., Dec. 9.—The convention of the American Federation of Labor was in session only two hours today, an adjournment being taken till tomorrow to enable the several committees to consider the large number resolutions still in their hands.

White company. The defendant company dwhh and operates the famous Slocan Star and Silversmith mining claims, near Sandon. These claims were located under what is called the “old” Mineral act, which gave the owner the right to mine any lead outcropping on its ground. For some time the White company has been working a vein at a point within the side lines of the Heber anti Habbit’n Paw claims which belong to the plaintiff company. The defendant c’aims that this is a lead which outcrops in the Silversmithclaim and it is therefore within its rights in mining it. It came to the knowledge uf the plaintiff that work was being done within its bide lines and theiefore action was commenced for $500,000 for ore unlawfully extracted from tbe vein which it claims. The plaintiff also contends that a porphyry dyke outs off the continuity of tne vein and as its claims were located under the “new” act, which gives it everything within the side lines of its claims,this body of ore belongs to it.The Star Mining eompany has recently been developing its property which has given indications of being quite valuable, independent of the ore in dispute.The motion today will be made by the plaintiff company fur an order giving it permission to examine the entire underground working of the Slocan Star, to make measurements and surveys,take samples and to make any examination considered necessary. W. A. Macdonald, K. C., aud S. S. Taylor, K. C., went to Rossland last evening in connection with the suit, the former to appear for Bod well and Duff for the defendant, and the later for thej plaintiff.Dunsmulr Opens Burning Stope EndangerlngMen’sLives.His Superintendent Resigns and Mines Will Be Closed.(SFF.CIAL TO THE VINEIt.)Nanaimo, Dec 9.—Yesterday Hon.J Dnnsmuir insisted on ope: i g the burning slopes at Extension, though Inspector Morgan was not pfesent, as required by law.
