There is no reason known to mineralogical science why there should not be ore encountered in this drift at almost any moment. The gangue is highly mineralized throughout and the indications are of the very best. As the drift progressee west depth is attained, a fact which will !Igo help matters along. Considerable trouble was exper- ienced when the crosscut was driven in- to the lode, the vein having been so de- composed and rotted by minerals that it was a herculean task to timber it and keep it safe to work in. This was finally accomplished, however, and no further difficulty of this nature is ap- prehended. We confidently look for a good report from the Abe Lincoln any day. * * THE LITTLE ALMA.. This mine is again attracting the at- tention of mining men owing to dis- coveries of wonderfully Leh grade ore in the shaft. Commerff. ng from a small streak the ore has widened out until it is now about four inches in width, producing almost solid chunks of gray copper which will run very high. This ore was found in the shaft. There is every reason for encouragement at the Little Alma and it will not be long before the mine will again be shipping ore. iii I Lerrex NELL. That \nothing succeeds like success,\ can be very truilifiklly of the Little Nell, a property of which any mining camp on earth could well be proud. It is spleelidly equipped and intelligently managed ; even to the emallest detail. It is developed by a shaft, nose down to the 300 foot station, in the bottom of which the ore streak is better and wider than at any other point in the -mine. This shaft will be sunk a little deeper— sufficient for a sump --,-and then levels run east and west on the vein. The shaft is an incline one the first 250 feet, and followed the course of the vein which pitched slightly to the south, and down to that depth was calculated only to run a bucket. From the 250 down the 300 the shaft has been enlarged for a cage, and sunk perpendicularly, it 'be ing the intention to widen and straighten the shaft to the surface in the near fu- ture. Stoping on the 200 and -250 is in pro- gress in the west levels, the ore averag- ing from six to twenty inch', in width. Considerable ore is also coming out of the bottom of the shaft, and the entire contents of the shaft pseees through the ore house where four ore -sorters are kept constantly employed. On the 250 level west, and about 40 feet from the abaft a stringer of ore was enoounterect • running directly north, which in the opinion of Mr. Chisholm, the foreman, leads into another vein which crops on the surface about 40 feet north of the vein at present being work- ed. This stringer is a ribbon of high grade ore about an inch in width and sparkles in the candle -light like dia niorele The crosscut is in aimed 18 feet and the stringer is regular in it, entire length. It is the intention to drive this crosscut forward until the puttied vein before mentioned is found, which it is expected will be the main vein of the hill at leapt that is the opinion gener- ally held. South of the present lode is still an- other which crops on the surface. higher up the bill. In time, no doubt, cross - cute will be driven to cut that vein front som e .4 the lower levela of the Little Nell. Ore is now being extracted or could be extracted fr , gin every level in the mine from the aorfaeo to the :to0 foot staii\e. iged tonic are constantly busy ore to the railroad The con- contrXt ¡gig is also growing rapidly, and eentaina eonaiderable high grade ore wheal it is found impossible to save in wining. It is @etiolated that the dump as it lays to day is gruel fer from 30 to 60 ounces per ton, and it la also thought that the velure could be *eyed not withutanding the fact that there is eeneiderable 7rine in it. Everything roneidorecl, the Little Nell, as now handled, is a model mine. The shaft has good ladders from the top to the bottom, and there is also a sep- arate shaft provided with good ladders which could be mele use ot in case of an accident to the main shaft. There is not much water in the mine, the most of what there is being surface water. Mr. W. H. Chisholm is the foreman and general superintendent of the en- tire property, a gentleman who has had long years of experience in some of the • largest mines of Montana, having worked for some years in the Heels, and in other great mines of the state. Ernest Emmerson is the bookkeeper for the company, Mr. W. H. Hill is engineer on the day shift and John Parrish en- gineer on the night shift. 'Jerry An- derson shoves the Ore into the ore house by the ear load, while W. II. Dudley is carpenter and timberman. Alex Mc- Leod and John Farrel are working in the bottom of the ehaft on the day shift, giving 'places to Frank MeGregor and Frank Norton at night, and Mr. Thomas Cassidy is hanimerirg his way in the crosscut north, following up the little ribbon of ore %Odell we all hope will guide him to greater things in the near future. * TRZ RALDEMAC. Aside from the fact that this is one of the phenomenal lodes of the district it is also peculiar in another respect—that of ontaining its name. The mine is on Halford's ranch—patented ground—and therefore came into the mineralogical world like Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin, with no father or mother—in fact \no- body's child.\ The owners are three in number, Halford, DeCanap and McDow- ell, and the first syllables of their names have been appropriated to form the word \Haldemao the name by which the mine will hereafter be known. The shaft is now down about 55 feet perfect- ly straight, between two as fine walls as ever stood in a mine, with ore continu- ous from the grass roots. In the bot- tom of the shaft the pay streak is about a foot wide, and the ore gets richer as the shaft gets deeper. The ore is finer grained and the quartz containing it is almost black resembling no other lode in the district, so far as we have examin- ed. Preparati.ins art+ being wade to in- crease the force in the mine. • TFIF FREE COINAGE. During the past week several import- ant discoveries of ore have been made in this property, and as the drifts progress the chutes are widening and the quality increasing. The Free Coinage has been a property about which but very little has been said, but work has steadily progressed there without a break of any kind, the ore shipped haa more than paid expenses; there are no debts; the mine is splendidly equipped with a fine hoist; it is carefully and economically managed, and the indications point to its soon becoming as great a. producer an any mine in the gulch. Th Coin- age forme one of the chain reat min on the right bank of Lump Creek exten Live Little from the Birmingham and I on the extreme east to the Ima on the extreme west. Messrs. Prescott and Smith, the owners, are now applying for e patent on this property, the first appearance of the ad- vertisement of which is printed else- where in this issue of the MINER. The patent notice includes the Free Coinage, Silver King and Lone Star lodes. * * , Tire LIVIRPOOL. The ore chute in the Liverpool, on the 400, *continues toimprove, if that is pos- sible, though it would be a pretty hard matter, perhaps, to improve it any. Aside from the above there is no mater- ial change in the Liverpool during the !past week, differing from the detailed ' description of this property given in I our last issue. The output for the week is about 60 tone Crosscutting is still in progress on the Thomas and the lode is expected to be reached to -day, (Saturday). Neil McIsaac and Nels Pearson have their Fella t on the Mountain Chief down 55 feet and have put a whim on it. Four men are working on the Mary- land, one of the finest prospects in the gulch. This property is owned by Jas. Russell, Geo. McGowan, J. Smith and Jas. Hanlon. • e e MINING NOTES. A. B. Keith « has bonded the Samson Iodo lying northeast of the Liverpool mine. Mr. John Gillis and others located, this week, a very promising prospect, about tielb miles up the gulch, above the city, the criippings 'if whieh are plenti fully sprinkled with what 'smears to be gentone high grade ore.

Hagberg are sinking on a claim adjoin- ing the Hope. They are now down 60 feet and will go ten feet further and then drift. They have a good strong vein (6f nice looking quartz with plenty of black talc, which would indicate the proximity of ore. The Messrs. Hooper will put up a whim on the property soon. The Insipid lode owned by Geo. Hoop- er has just been bonded to Messrs. Whitney and Whitzer, of Blossberg, Deer Lodge county, and work was com- menced on the prospect about a week ago. The lode showed some nice ore on the surface. The bond is for twefie months from April 15th, and the con- sideration $15,00o. The shaft is now down 40 feet, and will be sunk to a depth of 150 feet when drifts will be run east and west on the vein. There is a good showing on the Insipid for a mine. Itatnetallism In France. A national bimetallic league has been formed in Paris ri the instance of a com- mercial and two agricultural societies. It is under the presidency of M. Loubet, and has a long list of honorary and vice presidqnts, ineluding M. Magnin, Gov- ernor of the Bank of France; one of his predecessors. M. Dertaormandie, • now president of the Coptoir National d'Es- compte; M. Cernuschi; M. Moline; • M. Berenger, vice president of the Senate; and M. EdmeneLI:hFry, editor of the Economists Europeen. The Couneil numbers fifty-six members, among them being M. Guichard, president of the Suez Canal company, Deputies Develle, Jonnart, Mezieree, Baron Reilla, Turret, and Viger, alargo number of mez6 interested in agriculture. The ffrsr meeting of the league was held on March 2.3 at the Hotel Continental. Its maip programme is one of propaganda, and it will place itself in direct relatierei with similar leagues ithrotel. It has already 3,000 members, and a monthly bulletin will be issued. Recovering Minerals That Pass Away in Smoke. Some of the smelters in Omaha and Denver have lately introduced a device for recovering the minerals that have heretofore passed away in smoke and fumei. It is perhaps not generally known that the smoke from such plants is laden with metals of value, notably gold, silver and lead, but such is the fact, and it has been the constant study of metallurgist@ for years past to contrive some practicable and economical method of condensing such material. The now device ooneista of A hon-,'. unta! flue some 1,500 feet in length. expoaing a surface for radiatinn and condensation of the heated gases of upward of square feet; through this flue are drawn the fumes by means of a fan, the outer cir- cumference of which, at full speed, re- volves with a velocity of nearly two ruiles a minute; the fumes under this pressure are forced into a spacious building, from which there is no means of escape except thorugh a textile fabric, the colorless gases ',easing through into a stack be yond, while the valuable soot er smoke oonderniee on the inner or lower side from which it is collected from time to time. compressed into moulds, and fed back again into the furnaces, where the valuable metals are extracted and separ- ated Not one partiele of valuable fume can escape. - Chicago Mining Revlevy.
