MINING NEWS Katie Mine to have a 500 Ton Concentrator and Smelter. WORK PROGSESS1NG AT RUBY Other Short !lining Notes of the Cataract District. New York, Sept. 3—Copper strong; broker's, 41 1 ' t -4C; lead stung; broker's, 3.85e; silver, 52c. The leasers on the Rose are said to be taking out some mighty fine looking ore.; Mr. Lee G. Pitner, president of the defunct Hope Mining company, was here Sunday. He was unable to give out any information further than to say he did not believe the company would ever be able to pay its debts. The good news in given out that the Katie people will soon com- mence building their plant. They will build a 500 ton concentrator and a smelter in connection. C. M. Allen, of Butte, will superin- tend the work of construction. Some changes are being made in the Boulder mill this week. The mill has been running on lead ore from the Helper, and the stamps crush the lead so fine that it floats off. They ate endeavoring to remedy this defeat, and PerliaPo roller« may be put in in place of the stamps. Th % Progress man visited the Ruby mine again Wednesday and found that Manager Hewett was getting every department of the worx under good headway. An additional boiler is being put in at the mill, and five vannera will be put in the first of next, week. Martin Buckley has beem-institIted as foreman at the mine and is making a good showing with his part of tfie work. The shaft is now well under way and is going down rapidly with a force of three eight - hour shifts of miners. The Western Mining World says it is quite likely that Eugene Sul- livan, of Butte, will take up the bond on the Thibedeau property in this county. About 400 tons of ore has been taken out and the tunnells in about 150 feet, and the leacI,`which was 12 inches wide when it was struck, is now about five feet from wall to wall. Advertised Letters.

The phantom party given at the home of Mr. Ring last Thursday night was one of the most pleasant social events that has occur- ed in Basin for a long time. Mrs. Eugene Ring. of New York, ac- companied by her little son, Ambrose, has been visiting her son the past two months, and as it was known that the lady was in- tending to leave shortly for her home in the East, several friends concluded that they would give them a surprise party. A phantom party was decided upon, and ac- cordingly abiout forty persons gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Field, Thursday eve- ning, and, dressed in sheets and pillow cases, marched to Mr.Ring's house. The ghosts were admitted and with much ceremony introduc- ed themselves, after which the fun began and the evening was most enjoyably spent in social games, dancing, singing and other amuse- ments. Elegant refreshments were served at 12- o'clact, shortly after which the guests took theirdepart- ure for home, thanking their host for the pleasant time they had en- joyed.
