Vinson, of Helepa, and others interested with him, seem to have struck a bonanza in the Pilot lode, and the indleations now are that the property will pilot them on to fortune. on the property they have just discov- ered a fine chute of good ore which gives a handsome net profit over ‘and above all expenses, It is the intention, wé are informed, to put extensive ma- chinery on this property in the near fu- ture and prosecute extensive develop- | ment. *, * GOLDEN GATE. A day and night foree of miners have ‘been put at work upon the above | named property, owned Mr. Joseph | |\Garneau, work starting Wednesday. |'The ore from this mine is reduced in a concentrator just erected by Mr. Gar- | nea, and since the concentrator started up about two weeks ago, has been draw- ing its supply from the oré piled up on the dump during the developmentof the Golden Gate, some time The. pro- duct is a fine ore for concentration pur- poses and runs well in and silver. Since the machinery was up two cars of concentrates havebeen produced and shipped te the smelter at East Hel ena. smoothly, with pleaty of water for all purposes, a night shift having been ad- | ded to the concentrator force, as men- tioned in the Muver last week.

Strawberry, Shingle, Warm Spring and Moppin guiches, means much for the} district, and will probably stimulate others to follow his example. The lodes in that district are uniformly large, but aré nearly-all strictly concentrating It is predicted by. those in a position to know what they are | talking about that the day is not far | distant when there wi | be not one but several concentrators running on ores mined in that immediate locality. * + * THE LITTLE VELL. The Little Nell, which has heretéfore been a very dry mine, has suddenly de- veloped large quantities of water, so a pump will hereafter have to be used, a luxury which up to this time bas not been required.. The water came inin such quantities that all work had to be suspended on the | lower levels and will remain suspended until the pump which has been ordered has been put in position and the water raised out. The mine holds its own in good shape, the usual quantity of ore being regularly shipped, though nothing of a startling nature has transpired there during the week. + * * THE LIVERPOOL. This property has lately been shipping | some of its‘ output to Butte for treat- In the bottom of the present workings | The concentrator is now running | 100 feet. If this is done it will make the Free Coinage the deepest mine in the gulch, except the Liverpool, and if the ore chute envountered at the 300 continues. to the 400 will give them 200 feet of stoping ground, If this is done, the number of men will be very mate- rially increased, and the force employed will probably exceed that ever employed at any other mine in the camp, Those who are acquainted with the owners re- | joice in their good fortune. * i * THE HOMESTAKE. The affairs which have been in an en- ising property have been straightened out, and work resumed. We under- stand it is the intention of the, owners to sink the shaft to a depth of 100 feet and thén drift in on the ore chute,*pro- vided it continues to that depth, The shaft is now about 30 feet deep and ore was struck at a depth of ubout six feet which has. continued all the way down to the present depth, and has wid- ened out from about eight inches to two feet, and is of a high grade. The boys expect to make a bonanza of the Home- stake. * ? * MINING NOTES, James Tymon and John Finn have bonded to John Keetsch for a’ period of six months the Lafayette lode, consid: eration $2,500. The Lafayette is an ex- tension of the Harvey, and makes a tine surface showing. John will go to work at once and if there is a mine there he will come pretty near finding it. E. L. Marks, of this city has bonded his Only Chance lode located in the Little Roulder country, to Butte parties |for a period of 18 months, for $10,000. | There is a big lead on this property, | about twenty-three feet in width, with |about four feet of a pay streak dis- closed, so far as developed. Work will commence right away and be continu- ous. and if development warrants it ma- chinery will be put on the property. There is a sensation in Missoula gulch. Right in the very residence por- tion of the city there haé been a subter- ranean wonder developed, but just how soon the full facts will be given to the public is a much mooted question, says the Butte Miner. One very. important lease in particular is about to expire. | It is for such a matter as $90,000 or so, | and a renewal is wanted at the old fig- ure, but the owner has doubled or | tripled the amount on hearsay evidence. A certain element claim that a continv- ation of the Gagngn vein is found in this particular property, and that it is as rich as rich can be; and that 10 times the present lease value would only be a song for the next 365 days. This talk seems a “little too big” to be. true, how- | ever flattering the prospects may be. A conservative miner, who is in a position to know something, or perhaps all if he would only tell it, said on the subject: “There is but one effort being made now, as regards the property, and that is silence, The utmost secrecy is de- manded, and as I take it, is quite uni- versally observed among those inter- ested. Iknow that a rich strike has been made in Missoula gulch, some- where between Quartz street on the south and nota thousand miles north from that point.” “Durihg the past few days an under- current of suppressed excitement has been prevailing. I notice several men who have been walking in the air, and try their best they do not m able to get back to earth at all. Theft anxiety is all based on the hope of a renewal of an important lease, but it would not be fair for me to specify it. The expira- tion is near at’ hand and if they do not get a renewal they will be compelled to make a very handsome present to a rich jowner. If they get an extension they | will soon:be sble to pay themselves back for some extensive prospecting. A great |many thousands of dollars is now de- ment, and as the ore was loaded at Hart-| pending to goin one direction or an-\notice.

The | Liverpool will soon commence sinking | to the 500. * ° + THE FREE COINAGE. The ore chute tapped at the 300 cone | tinues to how up strong in both drifts, and a large amount of ore is~being hoisted to the surface. More water has been encountered on the 300 than at any previous time and a new pump has been ordered and will soon be placed in po- sition. “As soon as this is done, it is the intention of Messrs. Smith & Prescott, 80 we are informed to sink an additional to debate among the ‘didn’t believe it’s’ | and the ‘I told you so’s.’” After repeated trips by the Miner rep- resentive to the property in question, and by the most adroit scheming to ob- tain even the very least information as to facts, nothing could be secured be- yond innuendo. By many of . these there can be no doubt but what. the im- mense amount of smoke is sufficient evidence of fire. The most conserva- tive estimate of the existing facts suffice to show that a rich strike has been made. But. another phase presented itself that shows another feature to be worked out of the new discovery. There is a town lot boom to be started on the surface, itis said. Still another phase is that leasérs are keeping quiet, in cite to obtain Sights owners at a small price, complication of Sana ak wheels y and by multitudinous schemes . No soulagulch affair must.sooner or, later come to the surface.. When it does there will be a dump’in every back yard in the district within 60 days. * PERSONAL. Dr. A, F. Rudd of Jefferson was a a visitot to Clancy one day this week, and made the Mrnur office a pleasant call. Mr. Patrick Luddy, of Jefferson City was a visitor in Clancy last. Wednesda and made the Muver office a short call. Albert Hovey, of the firm of Bicket ‘& Hovey, U. 8. deputy mineral surveyors, Helena;accompanied by his wife, was a visitor in Clancy last Thursday, comi in on the noon train and returning : the same évening. oe Major O: A.
