.• THE LUMP CITY MINER: SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1895. _ OUT OF JF 4 FFER,SON CO. A Movement for Annexation to Lewis and Clarke County. As naturally as water flows down hill the business and interests of this sec- tion of Jefferson oounty Rowe to Helena, therefore it is not strange that a inove ment should be thus early started look- ing towards the separation of this par- ticular section of Jefferson county and annexing It to , Lewis and Clarke oounty, where it properly belongs, and on the natural boundaries and watersheds as hereinafter described. This movement, if brought to a sue - easeful finieh,can in no way work injury to Jefferson county as it now exists, while it will very materially aid this growing end of the county and place its business men, miners and ranchmen in a position where they can transact their business with the county seat at a much lose ex- pense, both in time and money. And this is not all. It the new coun i ty of Broadwater is formed on the pro- posed lines, with toe county seat at Townsend, the people of this section would be worse off than ever. We much prefer 10 remain as we are than to be thrust into a county such as the one proposed in the bill introduced by Rep- resentative Spriggs. A meeting in favor of annexation has been held at Winston and a set of rego - lutons adopted in furtherance of this end and a petitieile:*¡rculated which was, we are informed, very generally signed, and particulary so by all the heavy tax payers of that section. Indeed the an- nexation scheme is very favorably thought of in that locality, the people preferring annexation to Lewis and Clarke rather than support any move- ment looking towards the formation of a new county. Mr. J. N. Kelly came up to Lump City from Winston early in the week unI visited all the residents of this camp, as well as at Clancy and other sections, talking up the matter of annexation, and the result was that a meeting was called to be held at the Miner's union hall in this city Monday evening, at which meeting a committee was appoint- ed to draft a set of resolutions and cir- culate a petition for signatures, after ob- taining which they were instructed to meet a similar committee from Winston, in Helena, and work in connection with them in drafting a bill to be presented to the legislature. The following is the committee: E. L. Wardwell, L. C. Harris, H. M. Brooks, Ashley Harvey and Frank L. Currie, who formulated the following peti ti' : To THE HONORABLE BODY, THE LAEOIS- LATIVE ASSEMBLY OP THESTATE OF MON- TANA: We, the undersigned, citizens of the portion of Jefferson county concerned in this petition, do hereby pray and will ever pray, that a portion of Jefferson county hereinafter descriled be cut off, or segregated, from Jefferson county and attached to the county of Lewis and C'arke. The description of said portion of Jef- ferson county is as follows, viz: Using the boundaries as set forth in a certain petition, from the north-east portion of Jefierson county to a point about one and a half miles north of \Old Baldy,\ 'in the Boulder range., t hence following the watershi-d separating the Waters that flow into the Missouri river to the north-east, from the waters that flow alto the Jefferson River on the south, to a point near the head of Ten Mile creek. said point beidg a common boundary be- tween the counties of Lewis and Clarke, Jefferson and Deer Lodge; thence along the lxiundary of Lewis and Clarke coun- ty to the point of beginning, as set forth in the petition heretofore mentioned. The above petition was ver) generally circulated and universally signed, near- ly every on' ; to whom it was presented halting his signature, thereby eviden- cing in the most forcible manner til,' hishis inclinations in the matter. This petition, with the one circulated at stein aml elsewhere, will he presented, with other documente, by the joint (-rim- mitteee, thnoiglu POWs member of the I.egislature to be hereafter seleeted, to the legislative body in due form. That the interest in Lump City and the Lump gulch aiming district, in gem ern i throughout the country, is ovi- elenced (nun the fact that the MIA ts it) daily receipt ni letter* asking for mani- ple copies of the paper which we cheer- fully wend to all who ask. Subseribe for the MINER By helping the Movvit you help the camp fa. - ------- A Chaiice for Capital. There is now an excellent opening in Lump City for some philanthropic and enterprising individual, or several of them, to come here and build residence houses, cottages, etc., small, neat and comfortable, of th red, tour and six rixuns, for occupancy by Muffles. Such homes would rent readily, and would pay 20 per cent. on the investment. That some one has not already en- gaged in building such houses as are oontemplated in this item, before this, is probably owing more particularly to the season of the year, but as things have turned out, 80 far, this winter, building has gone on uninterruptedly, with possibly the exception of two or three days, since the tiret building was begun in the camp. There is hardly a question now as to the permancey of the mines of this dis- trict, the richness of the ore produced, and hardly any limit to the number of paying Properties we wilkhave here. Of course these are things a man would naturally look into before he invested much money in dwelling houses for rent. For the length of time the district has been discovered or rather rediscovered -its record is better than that of any silver camp in Montana, or the United States for that matter, and the iddica- Lone are that the district will make even ii better record from this time on than it has previously done. This being true, and we are firmly of that opinion, capital need have no hesitancy in in- vesting a few thousand dollars in dwelling houses, for they could be easily rented as soon as they were finished. __I:rim the best information at hand, very carefully gathered, there are now in the Lump gulch district tive actual and permanent shipping mines—that is mines that have been previous shippers, are now shipping or have ore in sight which could be shipped at tiny time. The indications are more than faveirable that these will be supplemented by as many more within the next four or six months. In view of those facts further cornaient is unnecessary. .1Iumlnuen In Lump Gulch. 'Flie MINER 5 in receipt of a letter from a correspondent in the northwest- ern part of the state, asking if it is true that vast depoeita of aluininuin have been discovered in Lump gulch, and also if someone is about to make alumi- mum here, and where elsewhere in the United States aluminum is made. In answer we will state that ‘vii have not heard of any -vast deposits\ of aluminum having been found in this mining district; neither is anyone about to engage in making the metal here, so far as we have been able to find out, and we think the whole story a canard from beginning to end. The only two con- cerns in this country which have pro- duced pure aluminum on a large scale foe the market of late are' the Pittsburg Reduction CompanAs Pittsburg, Penn., and the Cowles Electric Smelting mid Aluminum Co., Cleveland, Ohio. The latter has temporarily stopped milking pure aluminum but continues to 'nuke alloys. Clancy Miner's Union. Clancy Miner's Union No. 30, was or- ganized the 13th day of October, 1891. They now have a membership of 150 men and their numbers are steadily growing This union is ii branch of the West- ern Federation of Miners, whose head- quarters are at Butte City, Montana. They have just finished a large and com- modious hall here, which ham been tom fortably furnished, in which their meet - inge and social gatherings are hold. The building cost the Union *Thom°, i s conveiently and centrally located, and in every way quite a creditable structure. Though bearing the name \Clancy Min- er's Union,\ the headeptarters anel offi- cers are all here in the gulch. At the rate the organization Is growing it will rank with many of the older Miner's Unions of the state in point ot member- ship and Bstlillungs. 'Um Hayes, of Basin. is building a ho- tel alai III Ilalf()rd . N addi- tion to Lump City, 24 x re, with kitchen in the rear 11; x 24. Connected with the hotel mid at 1 . pining it on the west, twig also building a saloon 18 x 34. The buildings will be pushed to conipletion as moon uts 1404 4 F 4 1 .I4‘, and it is thought they will be ready for occupancy in about twenty days. Mr. John Wallace, of tipi.rot, will commence the erection of a building on Main street„ in this city at once. We vi.ere unable to learn wliat lominefie Mr w il if e , o i n te n d s to engage in here. PERSONAL MENTION. Al. Thorn, engineer at the Washing- ton mine, went prospecting for a few days this week. Win. Belanger, of Helena, was a visi- tor in the camp this week. He was looking the ground over preparatory to becoming a resident, and engaging in the grocery business. Mr. Belanger was lately engaged in placer mining in the Black Hills, in Wyoming, und had been in the grocery business for ninny years. Mr. M. M, Moore, who has been absent for some time in Southern Oregon, where he has been engaged in mining, etc., and who is quite largely interested in Lump gulch, has returned, and informs us that he will enter into the future prosperity of this bonanza region as far as his means will allow. lie has great faith in the gulch and predicts a bright future for it. Telephobe Service. One of the crying needs of the hour, and a matter which should receive early attention, is telephone connection be- tween Lump City and Helena. There is only about a mile or so of wire to put up and the thing is done, and many a trip tet Helena would thus be saved, or the annoyance of waiting for communica- tion by mail The need of telephone service is grow- ing every day, as more people establish themselves here, and it is none too soon to make a move in the matter. Eire Precautions. It is hardly necessary, perhaps, for the MINER to caution people in regard to being careful about fires, but we consid- er it our duty to do ao under the circum- stances. There is absolutely no provis- ion of any kind now in existence here whereby if a fire should get started it could be extinguished, and remembering the history of many mining camps whiell have preceded us, it behooves us one and all to use the utmost care in this respect. Helena might do agraciou\ thing by pre- senting Lump City with one of her old hand fire engines and hose. Mining Camp Booms. The history of successful and substan- tial mining operations and the estab- lisment of producing mining camps has been anything but favorable to the sys- tem of booming camps. A mining camp of merit does not require the spasmodic and inflated ideas of mining camp boom- ers. Editors of newspapers are more to blame for this matter than the specula - lat ive gi , M118, who is out on a very weak limb trying to save himself train depend- ency by talking and advertising a boom. If a mine or a mining camp is worthy the attention of investors and develop- ing capital they do not need to resort to the extravagence on the booeng basis. If a district has merit and its mining in- terests are worthy of inveatigation they will receive better and more substantial attention through honest investigation than by high-toned, puffed-up reports from newspapers and speculative indi- vidulds. About the &illy case of late years as an example to the contrary was that of Lead(' il le, Colorau', Lead ville was made in a night, and its remarkable rielineem, extent of mineral anil its free classes of ore made it a boom camp nat- urally, and the boom died out from over- exhamition, and the camp still continue« to be as rich as ever, allowing the crash in silver to injure it only in extent of value. Several spasmodic mining camp boomers are still in i‘xistence and if they are floating any mining schemes they are doing so quietly and cautiously, for they know mining speculators take time to investigate their properties before giving the proposition re'\ .gn it ion. - M.intana Mining ‘t Market Reporter.
