Page, of Minneapolis, arrived in town on Triday last for the purpose of attending to his variou minining interests in this district. Be- his valuable locations in the Manitou adjoining the Little Master, Mr. Page has acquired quite an exten- sive interest in a number of clajms on Contact Bay, close to Wabigoon. These claims have recently heea pros- pected by John Holmes, who has done considerable work in the direction of exposing and testing the different veins which overrun the properties. The pannings obtained have some. what surprised those who haue person - ally witnessed them, and represent values which will compare very favor- ably with any proposition in the dis trict and are attracting a good deal of attention'among mining men. sides A quartette cf Twentieth Century stockholders from Pittsburg, Messrs. 'McCabe, Deidrich and Cochranes, re tried to Dinorwic on Monday from Visit to the property. President Blum aeturned from the mine on Saturday last to Dinorwic, and after visiting Dryden and Wabi soon, resumed his journey east to Boston. "The SS Galatea is now taking out the pew sawmill machinery which ar- sived at Dinorwic on Saturday last. A couple of Black Hills, $.D., pros- pectors, Messrs. Hetherington and Wigle, who have Leen in the business for the past ten years, left for the Manitou on Tuesday morning, for the purpose of commencing a Systematic exploration of the Rainy River dis trict in the interest of Johsten, Holt & Co. of Detroit. They will be en- snged in this work for three or four months, and in this portion of the dis- trict will, in a general way, operate' north of the present exploiting sphere.

P.R., 20 miles east of Rat Portage, resulting in the death of Engineer Johnston and his fireman. As fur as can be ascertained the express from Wirnipeg arrived at the bridge at Sco- vil ou time, shortly after 7 o'clock on 'Tuesday evening. The biidge was being repaired at the time and it was not until 4 o'clock the next morning that the -roadnaster announced that the train could proceed. The engin- eer started to move his train slowly across, but only one car was over gine and tender disappearing in the lake with the engineer and ~ fireman, Fortunate it was that the train broke: where it did, else the loss of Jife ble, the cars be- ded. 2 ing exceptionaily crow W. 697; with power to summon wit. and report its finding to this House. trips acres on the southivest corner' of the location, Sa ay his case has 'been in diepite for | two years and involves a portion of the location that was worth mary thous sands of doilars. The owners have. failed to obtain any satisfaction from the department hitherto and have had recourse to the Legislature. Mr. E. 1. Sowden, secretary trea- surer of the Northern Development Ce.,of Detriot, operating the Paymast er (H.W. 20) bordering on the Big Master, was one of the callers at the Star office on Tuesdiy evening. Al though only a moiety of preliminary work has been done since the quite recent organisation of the company, there is ample evidence to justify the company in pushing development as rapibly as possible, and from the ap- pearance of the quartz which he brought in they will be quite right in continuing further investigation. the work, has tested three of the veins, Nos. 1, 3, 4, from all of which he has obtained encouraging pannings. No. 1, which runs into the Big Master,is a very rich vein with 12 feet of quariz. Mr. Sowden, who was accompanied by H. Clark, of Detroit and . Oscor Freeze, of Milwaukee,aftsr examining other " properties in the vicinity, is quite certain that the prospects of the Paymaster are equally promising, and the fact of its proximity to tke Big Master, coupled with "tests al- ready made, would justify the as surance that similar values = will pre- vail, So the price of stock will be increas- ed, Tack Joy will proceed to develop as rapidly as possible, returning to the properties with necessary supplies, and Messrs.
