Within its limits can be found a larger number of undo velopod prospects of more than usual in- terest and promise than can be found in any other county in the State. Almost all of the known minerals have been dis- covered in the quartz fields of this County. Its placers have been for years giving to the world of its wealth of yel- low gold, and millions yet remain to be gathered from this souroe. The mining industry, in its quartz lodes, however, can be said to yet be in its infancy. It ' is true that the Alta, Gregory, Minah, Legal Tender, Peerless Jennie, Bonanza Chief and a few other mines which might be mentioned have old reeords----that is, old for Jefferson County —some of them having been made to disgorge of their glittering wealth nearly twenty years ago, but the surface of the county, con- taining an area of 1,850 square miles, has barely yet been scratched. The area of Jefferson County is larger than that of some of the eastern state si‘ and its pres- ent population is now about 10,000, nearly every one of whom are directly or indi- rectly interested in mining. The discov- ery of Lump Gulch with its high grade, true fissure deposite, centrally located in the county as it is, has done much to stimulate quartz mining in Jefferson County, notwithstanding the fact of the degradation of silver. Pot the silver agitation now going on, and the hope of the ultimate restoration of the white metal to its former proper place 88 re- demption money, in the near future, and from Wil0fle virgin white throne it was ruthlessly pulled down by the bread hooks of old John Sherman and his co- horts in crime, has awakened interest in quartz mining throughout the state at large and in this County in particular. That the people of the United States; will eventually throw off the financial yoke and crush white slavery as they once did black slavery there is now no question — it is only a niatter of time and believing this the American precious metal miner shoulders his piok and shovel and goes forth to produce from nature's store- house, where deep in the bosoms of the mighty risk -ribbed mountains; her stores are kept in ¡sealed reeerv, Sus, with a stout heart and a eourage that knows no such word as fail. • • * THE MINAII. $2.00 A YEAR. feet, four stories high besides a boiler by .Joseph Jarneau. Mr. Jarneau and engine Inoue,' 40x80 feet. There located this mine in '84 and took from are also several other buildings connect- ing the main building the whole forming the surface a large amount of ore of the same character as that shipped from a large structure.

And suffering a loss of all his taken by tram cars from tile mine to the buildings by fire, Mr—larneau practically fourth floor where it is crushed.

He is now engaged in per day are now in position which will building a concentrator, which he is be used until the success of the process pushing with all possible rapidity and expects to have in operation by October let. The building will be 26176 feet and will have a oapacity,when completed of 15 tons per day. The engine and boiler will have sufficient power for 30 tons, and Mr. Jarneau expects that in a short time after starting up he will • be able to hoist sufficient ore to justify adding the machinery necessary to in- crease the capacity to 30 tone per day. Mr. Jarneau has spent several years of time and done a great amount of hard work to develop° his property, is a gentleman and deserves the success that This property forma one of a group of mines of which Jefferson county is justly proud. Near it is the Alta, of world-wide reputation, the Gregory, the Illue Bird and many others, either (ani- ons for what they have done or rapidly acquiring a reputation seism(' to that of no other mines in Montana. Located near Wickes and Corbin, where two lines of railway solve the transportation problem.

Two Krouse rolls of a capauity of 50 tons per day are located in the first floor of the roasting works, through which the ore passes before reaching the leaching plant which is situated below. This de- partment is thoroughly fitted with pre- cipitating appliances and all necessary machinery for applying the chemical process through which the ore is passed after leaving the roaster. A large cov- ered flume connecting the works with the smokestack carries off all gases generated by the roasting process, and is fitted with appliances which turn them into sulphuric acid in the stack. The arsenic which escapes through the flume is also caught and removed. The cost of the plant will exoreed $50,000 and will be the largest of the I the entire force of miners was laid off kind in the United States. There is one day this week, and a new crew put on in their place.
