A new pump has just been received by the Little Nell, and is being placed in position. This property has always been what is termed a dry mine, there never having been sufficient water to week orso ago, when the sudden ap- pearance of water in the lower. level, and its rapid increase soon drove the miners from work, and they have been able to do but little work on the lower level since. As soon as the pump has water will be taken out and work re- sumed with an increased force. * + » THE HALDEMAC. A new whim was placed on this prop- erty some time ago for the purpose of sinking the shaft from the 150 to the 200, but at a depth of about .180 feet water commenced to come into the shaft in such quantities that it became im- possible to handle it with the whim. The decided improvement in the appear- ance of the quartz, has caused the own- ers to believe they are near anore chute, and they have purchased a hoist which is now being placed in position, and work will soon be resumed. The owners of this*property have stuck to it with a persistency that should berewarded, and weré small, and. as the ore shipped did | not run as high as was expeoted, it was property at present, and we have been decided to suspend operations, which} unable to find out when operations: aré we trust that the good indications in sight will not disappoint them. ‘ . * * THE NORMA.

C., on the 23rd inst., by the sil- Ver men, resolutions were adopted, and a call issued for a national convention to be held in St. Louis on July 2nd for the purpose of nominating a national silver ticket.

A O. U. W. Memorial Day Ceremonies. One of the largest and most intelli- gent audiences ever gathered together in Lump OQity, were at McCann’s hall last Saturday evening to witness the Memorial Day services of the A. O. U. W. of that place. After a brief address by Master Ortncs Harris anda song by the choir, the speakers of the even- ing, Mr. Massena Bullard, Past Master Workman of Capitol Lodge, Helena, and T. T, Lyon, of Lump City, were in- troduced, r. Bullard, who is one of the oldest members of the order in Mon- tana, spoke of the principles and aims of the order, and the g it has accom- plished by its work in this state.~ His speech was sound and full of sensible suggestions to his hearers. He advised those of hié hearers who were not mem- bers of beneticiary orders to join theny, Louis, July 2nd, 1896. eck soe THE PEOPLE’S STORE. 513 and 515 Broadway, Helena, Mont.

At the 50-foot level a rich streak of high grade ore was huge round-house has been neatly | whitewashed by Messrs. Hooper & Co., fof Helena. It will take a week or more | yet before the tracks and turn-table are request of the citizens in this vicinity fora new and suitable bridge over the Prickly Pear at this point. Notwith- standing the fact that the taxable prop- erty in this-section has been increased during the past year ‘between $200,000 }and $300,000, and the travel over the road upon which the bridge is asked for, is now probably as greet as oyer any road in the county, and the present the}ing from Helena. -The inside of the | bridge is wholly inadequate and unsafe as well, the commissioners having awakened from a sort of Rip Van Winkle sleep, and looked the situation over, be- ing compelled to acknowledge the jus- tice of the demand for a new bridge, found that sampled 4 oz, in gold and | completed so that engines can ocqupy | DOW come-up smiling and offer to rec- 371 ounces in silver. The shaft is now down 100 feet and at this depth Mr. Timon, the mine superintendent, last week enconntered some ore that assayed 899.20 in gold and 249614 ounces in silver and five per cent lead. The Owners are now considering the advisability of sink- ing theshaft another 100 feet, and will let the work by contraet, notice of which appears in the advertiBement col umns of the Miner this week. As the lead at 100 feet is more than 30 feet wide between the walls and we!l mineralized, | the promise of this property would seem to be that it will make the mine of this section. We understand that it is the intention of Messrs. Miller and Nor- ris to stock the property in order to |more fully develop the mine, and if} they should do so, we can safely say that it will be no difficult matter to place as much stock as will be necessary to open up this property. Old miners that are well acquainted with this prop- erty are unanimous in declaring that it |is the extension of the Legal Tender | mine, only richer in gold. We were shown an assay from two samples of the ore lately discovered, made by Mr. A. P. Webster, of Helena, which gave a re- turn as follows: No. 1, hand sample, silver, gold and lead, $1774.66; No. 2, hand sample, gold and silver, $892.16. * * * THE FREE COINAGE, The water has been troubling the management of this property consider- ably during the past week. While low- ering the station pump to the 300-foot level, it wus found to be impossible to control the water with ‘the sinking pump, and it has: steadily gained. on them until it is reported there is 75 feet of water in the shaft. A new pump has been ordered and as soon as it arrives it will be put down and the stopps freed from water, when the station pump will be placed in ‘position and it is thought the water can then be handled without / } 4 the round house. } The. machinery that will run the end- | less elevator from the coal bunkers into { the coal house from which the trains | will receive their supply, was started up |this week and worked satisfactorily. | The scrapers that’ elevate the coal run }in an iron-lined trough, the endless |cbain passing over sprocket wheels sim- | ilar to a bicycle sprocket wheel, at con- | | venient distances along the entire length of the trough. When the coal |has been run up the incline into the | coa] house proper, the different chutes ;or pockets are filled by removing the bottom of the trough and allowing the |coal to fall through as the scrapers | bring it up to.the chute it is desired to fill. The extensive yard is being trimmed| up with cinders tamped down on thé top of the gravel, which will keep the yard |free from mud. This work is now going on and js about half finished. The fnrniture for the passenger depot | has not yet arrived. As soon as it. does | it will be placedin position, the agent moved in and everything will then be ; ready for business. The old platform and dry goods.box heretofore extended the courtesy of being called a depot at the Clancy street crossing, will then be removed, and all trains will depart from and arrivé at the new depot. The yard presents a very handsome appearance just now and being free from freight cars one gets a full view of it from the depot. Its extreme length is about three-fourths ofa mile. The lumber ordered by Mr. Engel- stadt for the erection of a two story building on the lot recently purchased | by him from M. A. Haynes, has arrived | and is now on the ground and work will at once commence on the building. Mr. Engelstadt expects to have the ‘building ready for occupancy sometime during the month of February. $ | ommend the building of one, provided the citizens will do all necessary grad- ing and filling in, the cost of which would about-eqnal the building ‘of the | bridge proper,—a proposition which is very highly appreciated-(?) by our peo- ple. In this connection it is not im- proper to say that the proposition to do the grading and -° was made by the Great Northern Ry. at the time it was grading for ite tracks and had a large force of men here, and tha com missioners were so notified by H. a Hill of this place, and requested td giv the matter their immediate attentidr, so that the bridge might be built and the county saved this expense: But with their characteristic procrastination the commissioners slept on, until this op- portunity passed, and now having fin- ally woke up, they want the citizens of this community to come to the front and bear the burden of an expense which a little diligence on their part would have saved the county. It is unneccessary to say however that this will not in any , probability be done, Powder Explosion at the Pilot Mine One hundred and fifty pounds of giant powder exploded at the Pilot mine about five o’clock Friday morning, completely demolishing the blacksmith shop, caving in the mouth of the tun- nel and shaking up the whole commun- ity generally. Fortunately no one was injured, beyond being severely fright- ened. Two men. were at work in the face of the tunnel which is in about 350 feet, at the time the explosion occurred, and three men were at the cabin about. 150 yards away. It seems the mouth of the tunnel is enclosed and a heating stove is kept | fired up to warm the: tunnel, and it supposed a few sticks of powder laid: near the stove to thaw out became over- heated and exploded, causing that in the blacksmith shop only. a few feet away Yo It is unné to . say that all that remains to show where the shop once stood isa hole in the ground. The work of repairing the mouth of the tunnel, and b of a new blacksmith shop is now go- — ing on. Trabis +
