Rochester, of Haileybury,one of the best known mining men in the. North Country. is in town foria few days. Mr. Rochester has just re- turned from an extended trip through Mexico. and his report of mininb op- eratiqgs in that rich country is not encouraging. due principally to the unsettled state of afiairs which brought about revolutionary tactics on the part of a portion of the Re- public. For instance no dynamite or explosives of any character are per- mitted to enter Mexico during the present hostilities lest they might fall into the hands of the enemy of the state. Mr. Rochester will remain in camp for a few days. I’nrcupine 7 LOCAL ITEMS : Andy Grierson was transacting fbuaineas and renewing acquaintances [in ('ohalt and Hailoyhury last week.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE McEnaney Makes Fine New Strike The McEnaney mine, just south of the big Hollinger, has made a new strike of considerable moment. The strike was made at the lower level, on a large quartz lead which had been drifted to some length. The quartz is so plentifully .sup- .plied with gold showings as to indi- cate high values and the ore bed is unusually extensive. It would not be surprising if the McEnaney would pick up some of the Hollinger leads, as the workings now in progress are not. far distant from the big mine. o o o o o o o o . 0:00 :«.«.oo.«:oo. .W a: u “a.” ’00:”:0 0:0 00 ’.« °.« a :“:'O .‘ Baseball SCH Goods ”9; O.
