At the Kendall the greatest activity prevails in all departments. The mill is doing excellent work and is entailing more oie than ever before. During the storm lest Thursday an incident oc- curred a it lilt ci °lard some alarm and consternufon. A bolt of lightning fol- lowed lbe electric wires and the result was the burning out of the fuses. A series of sharp reports attended this visitation, and sonic of the employes be- came terror stricken. Little damage was dene, The stork of moving the hoisting ma- chinery to the site of the new shaft is it: propene. This shaft will be pushed doe n with posaible speed. throodas.

The additiutis to the Barnes -K mg mill ate so ho advanced that it may be pre- dicted that the- work all he coon:Islet' in two weeks. In the ineantinie the mill is kept fully employed, and regular bul- lion shipmetas Are.m010. A shipment, was made yesterday, the value of which, however, was not given out. The Abbey. Work on the Abbey mine is progress- ing. Owing to lack of dumping facilities work on the lower level was discontinued a short time since, end the force put at wOrk.om, the tunnel level, where a drift is being - Ai - 4 - to open Op the ore body in that part of the mine. _ Kendall -K lug. Manager Archer of the Kendall -King property reports eve' ything as looking promising. At a point 100 feet in on the tunnel a drift was recently started. It in in 45 feet, and ham just cut the contact. Recent assays have given most encourag- hug results. It is the intention to soon commence sinking. At depth the ore is likely to increase in value, a feature that is characteristic of the camp. • A nig dale rending. The report that E. W. King had re- eigned from the superintendency of tin - Great Northern.M. and D. Co.'s proper- ty at Gilt Edge is not confirmed by that gen leman. Mr. King Metes that he e ill probably remain in charge until the property changes hands. The report that the control of the property had missed to eastern teen wile also prema- ture. although It is: mote anti) probable the pendieg sale a ill take place by the terms of .1:n bond.

Drake of Chicago is the man who is likely to soon own the Gilt Edge bo- nanza. tie has inspected the property himself and has had experts do the same, so he has all the necessary in for- Kendall mation regarding its valor. So far no one on the outside knows what will be paid for the property. Those who profess to know, however, place it at $1,000,000. Those figures seem reason- able when the character of the mines is underatood. The ground includes some teenty patented claims, and there is an immense quantity of ore in eight th it a ill pay handsome dividends, If Mr. Drake ehould come into possession of the property the credit of the sale will be due to A. S. Wright and A. H. S. Bird, who hold the option. DIED FROM BLOOD POISONING. A Alight Cat on the Foot Costs Bert • Lindsey His Life.

Provide Ample Accommodations. In a fen lays the postoffice a ill b. - moved from its hurt sent quarters. John Jackson, Jr., the newly appointed post - minister, statos that it will go into the stone building now nearing completion. It has been decided the office will be tent - porerily located next to Mr. Jackson's tesidence. The transfer took plaice to- day. When the ground floor of the Cook block is finished the office will have commodious quarters, and every accommodation will be provided time pttbhic. For the size of the town the poetoffice here does a very larioi business, and as -the place grows of course the hileinel.s will increase. It is to be hoped a money order feature will soon be added to the office. The tardy recogilition of the ne- cessity tor this business on the part of the department is most exasperating. Jnet why it has not long since been at- tended to is a mystery. The new post- master will put forth a strenuous effort to have the convenience added to the of- fice. It 'usually takes a long time to make the 1Vaehingtoti authorities get a move on themselves- in all matters per- taining to postal affairs. Laundry Changes Ilanda. W. M.
