e THE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. e .1 STATE NEWS. Gov. Rickards has granted a respite vnt)11 July let to Clay Pugh, who is under dea, sentence at Boulder for the irrdei of Conductor Chauncey West, in order to give condemned man a chance to be heard by the Supremeeurt in re- gard to a pew trial. , Ex -Gov. Waite, of Colorado, spoke at the Auditorium in Helena on the 18th, under the auspices of the Trades and Labor Council. He also made an ad- dress at the unveiling of the Witter monument at . Butte. The Anaconda Recorder says a most important work is now in progress at the upper works. There is a long smelter building there that is all ready for put- ting in furnaces and about 100 men are now engaged in this work. This means that the great $40,000 smokestack, through which smoke lias never passed will soon be put into operation. Tho addition of these new furnaces will greatly enlarge the producing capacity of the works, incidentally furnishing employment to more men. Ex -Mayor Weed of Helena who rep- resents the young and progressive ele- ment of the republican party in Mont- ana, has suggested a very nice plan by which the small silver element of that party might obtain recognition in the national convention. He proposes that the national delegates from California, Colorado, Idaho Kansas, Montana, Neb- raska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming shall go to the national con- vention and vote as a unit against any man who is not in favor of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1. If not sucoessful in the convention Mr. Weed's plan is for the presidential electors of these thirteen states (assuming they will be republican) to refuse to vote for an anti - silver president, thus throwing the elec- tion in the house. With the election by congress Mr. Weed says the eastern pro- .tectioniste would agree to bimetallism rather than to lose protection. There is not a bit of doubt that Mr. Weed's plan is honestly evolved and plausibly ex- pressed, but he has overlooked some con- ditions that make his plan impossble. First among the obstacles is the fact that the republican politicians of Kansas Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South W . tota and Washington are firmly on lit gold -bug side of the issue making his proposed combination impossible. In the second place the republican electors, having a majority would never hesitate to vote for the nominee of their party. With these two obstacles removed Mr. Weed's plan is all right. The Philipsburg Mail says that an- other rich strike of gold ore has been made in the Rook Creek country in Sand basin. Some prospectors went out there several months ago and have been working there ever since. They have discovered a rich vein of ore assays of which are said to run from $40 to $109 in gold. The vein is reported to be four feet wide and it is claimed that it can be traced for a mile or more in length. Dr. A. H. Mitchell of Wezm Springs is said to be one of the principal owners. If the reports are anywhere near true this is the most important gold discovery by far that has recently been made in Granite country. Winston is a flourishing little camp on the Northern Pacific railroad about half way between Townsend and Helena. ,The outward appearances of the camp are not very inviting being void of trees or shrubbery and no running water, but it is the nearest railroad center to a rich mining district hence it has become quite a business point. The properties ad- jacent are well known, among the most prominent being the H. it H. and the East Pacific both being steady producers for years, constantly employing a large force of men. The ore is shipped prin- cipally to Helena and has produced a large amount in dividends to the for- tunate owners. Adjacent to these prop- erties are hundreds of prospects many giving promise of being equally rich. The Winston Miniud Company are at work developing a group of tine looking °Wine. The company has abundance of capital, and taking everything into con- sideration the Winston district bids fair to coine to the front. The dies for the new British trade dol- lar, silver, had at loot accounts been re- ceived at the Indian mint, and doubtless ere this time Her Majesty's oflIcerm are turning out millions of dollars for use in trading with the heathen countries. Now that the mints of the United States and other nations that have been duped by Great Britain are eloped to silver coin- age there is nothing to prevent that country from buying up the cheapened silver of our impoverished miners, coin- ing it in her Indian mints, using it to purchase Oriental geode and shipping them here te, draw away our gold. The game is all in her own ham:he-Denver Mining Review. The Weat Virginia Bankers'association resolutions against the free coinnge • ,f silver. A Few Facts About Gold, A few facts about gold may be worth giving. In correct figures gold is worth: 1 oz. Troy, pure gold, at U. S. mints S 20 - 67 1 pennyweight (dwt.) I. 03 1 grain 043§ 1 oz. Avoirdupois (common ounce of trade)... . 18 48 1 lb Avoirdupois (commee pound of trade) 301 37 1 miners' ton of 2,000 tbs. Avoirdupois 602,737 20 1 metric grain 66, 1 4 1 metric ton, 1,000,000grains 663,289 00 Hence one dollar's worth of gold rep- resents 0.484 ounces Troy, or 0.531 ounces Avoirdupois, or 1.508 grains. The latter figure represente at the seine time the ratio per 1,000,000. This latter form is customary in countries using the metric system. The metric system 18 now used in all but Engle countries and colonies. 1 grain of gold in Germany is worth 260 marks 1 grain of gold in France is worth 3.20 franca 1 ounce Troy in England is worth £.4 5e Tae pound and ounce measures are used 131 , ‚bout 140,000,000 of civilized people, the grain and metric system by about 400,000,000 of civilized people. Ore Bodies of the Little Rockies. Probably the chief geological peculi- arity of the gold mines found in the Little Rockies mining district ia the oc- currence of the ore bodies in porphyry. But a careful study of the general phys- ical and geological features of the ore bodies as disclosed by the numerous openings in the ledges and surface indi- cations leads to a reasonable solution of thé problem of their formation. For instance, the main ore body of the Hawkeye mine, which has a maximum width of 20 feet, is found in an intrusive dyke of pyreferoue porphyry. These dykes of which there are a great num- ber, in e district, and of different chem- ical for nation, have intruded through great thiourea in the primitive rock and in the igneous condition have overflown and united on the surface forming a vast sheet of porphyry imbedded upon the old orystation rocks and occupying the central portion of the Little Rockies mountains. The intrusive dyke in which the ores of the above mentioned mine are found, has evidently at some period of its exis- tence received a very severe physical shock powerful enough to badly shatter its once firm crystalline structure. Along the line of these fractured zones the mineralizing solution from below has had free access dissolving portions of the porphyry and concentrating its values in great ore bodies like the ores found in the Hawkeye and other leading mines of the district. Although deposits of gold -bearing ores ot the magnitude of those found in the Little Rockies district seldom occur in regions of exclusive porphyry, the his- tory and experience of gold mining shows that porphyry has been an essential con- stituent either as a wall rock or forming a dyke in connection with most if not all of the great bulling producing mines of the world. An example of this is found in the great Comstock, in Nevada, whose ores were found encased in a green -stone por- phyry called \ porphytite.\ The value of these ores was 45 per cent gold. An- othef instance is that of the \Printer Boy\ in the Leadville, Colorado, district, which is found in a formation of exclu- sive porphyry and which produced ettoo- 000 in gold before the silver and lead ex- citement of Leadville in 1877, and to -day it is considered one of the greatest gold mines in Colorado. If space would permit it would be pos- sible to extend the list of great gold pro- ducing mines found in porphyry, or in connection with it, to great length. But however, we are satisfied as to formation we are in the right locality. Although it is posilible in this - district to mine ores of great value at the grass - roam, experience teaches us that the older the formation the better for deep and permanent mines. From a careful observation of the ge- ology of this region we venture an opin- ion that only when the development of the ore bodies reaches the horizontal and vertical contacts of the primitive rook underlying the shallow sheet of porphyry will the great and permanent bodies of rich oulphidae and tellurides be found which the work of a century will not exhaust. -Miner and Prospector. A 1ban 11 . the -name of Rose, who was employed at the Indepentlince mine during the past winter and spring, se- cured permission from the directors of the Champion mining company to sort out and eliip Annie ore from the dump at their mine about a month ago. He fin- ished aorting and hauling to Race Track station a few days ago, getting out in all from 15 to 17 tons, from which he real ized, after having it worked in Butte, I/51 per ton A small percentage of this went to the company. - Mineral locations prior to survey are in conflict with reserved School sec- t...ins.
