This will give the’ Free Coinage a depth of 400 feet, making it oneof the deepest mines in the district. The work on the 300 level has demonstrated. that at. that depth they are not ingsolid formation, and it is thought that the additional depth will develop that fact. and that the ore chute when tapped will be found to be more fegular and permanent than it has been in the upper levels. We under- | stand that on the 300 the ore chute is solid an@ well defined in the bottom of the drift, but in the stopes it is badly ;brbken up, which would indicate that ithe opinion concerning the formation is well founded. The Free Coinage lode is one of the largest in the Lump district and has produced a large quantity of the richest ore shipped from the camp ; and | it is the opinion of many who are famil- iar with the property, that when the ad- ditional depth is gained it will become one of the greatest producers of high grade silver ore in Montana, * * 7 HIGHLAND CHIEF This property is located about two miles from Clancy, up Clancy Creek, and about half a mile above the Old Dan Tucker; though on the opposite. side of the Creek from the letter named miné.

The |strictly shipping mines, that is those veins which have been concentrated by nature into ore chutes so rich that the average prospector and miner can afford to build wagon roads, mine the ore, haul the railroad, pay bigh smelting charges, etc., dre as scurce as hen’s teeth If a mineral bearing vein has an ore body with values below twelve or fifteen it ‘to dollars, and there are many of them of} that description, without the employ-' vein | ment of considerable money the cannot be developed, und consequently lies idle from year to year awaiting the accidental coming-of some bloated bond holder to handle it.

The indications are certainly very flattering for a mine, | |and the tunnel is progressing rapidly. | The One Dollar Bill has nevet been | opened up systematically and the er ent tunnel, it is thought, will tapit at sufficient depth to disclose the ore in the vein, which it is fair to believe ex- ists there, and then, if indications count for anything, the One Dollar Bill may swell into several dollar bills, or silver cértificates; or greenbacks, or something equivalent to them. + * * MINING NOTES The mining news from Bannack and in fact from nearly every other mining camp of the county, still continue to be of a very encouraging nature. Every- | thing seems to indicate an unusually ac- tive and prosperous mining season.— |} Dillon Examiner. A. M. Esler has leased the Lee Moun- | tain mine concentrator at Rimini for one Olney and was published as officially de- claring the status of the administration, although his name was not used in gon- nection with it. Several days later President Cleveland wrote a statement and gave it to the press, in which, while not denying the correctness of Secre- tary Olney’s statement, he said that he was not responsible for it nor related to it. As Mr. Cleveland did not deny that his position towards Cuba had been cor- rectly stated by the first publication if is-inferred that his only object was to rebuke and humiliate Secretary Olney. Now there are lots of people who think that Secretary Olney has more real backbone than President Cleveland and that he will not silently submit to such a rebuke, Therefore, unless the public misunderstand the present status of the matter, Secretary Olney will be heard from again, and it will not be a surprise in Washington should it be in the form of his resignation from the cabinet. The man who is credited with being re- sponsible for the Venezuelan position taken by the administration and for the much-discussed Monroe doctrine mes- sage isn’t the sort of an individual to swallow-a personal affront. J. T. Stringer, representing the tna Savings & Loan Company has been in Clancy for several days during the past week, and has succeeded in placing con- siderable stock in the association, and also organized a local board to represent the company here and transact its local business. The following persons were elected officers of the board: H. M. Hill, President, T, T. Lyon, Secretary and T. J. Chestnut, Treasurer. The ADtna Savings & Loan Company, isan incorporation duly organized un- der the laws of ‘the State .of Montana, providing for Building and Loan Com- panies, and is subject to all the reguia- tions and provisions of the laws govern- ing such organizations, and stockholders have the benefit of all the safeguards provided by law for the protection of in- vestors. It provides a means by which systematic savings, of fixed amounts, may be made through it and invésted to the best advantage, in a manner that could not be done by individuals. It also furnishes money to borrowing members who prefer to repay it in small regular installments rather than in one bulk, making ite plan of loans come within the reach of all parties desirous of obtaining homes, the paymente not ex- ceeding, in most instances, the sum paid as rents. The establishment of a local board in Clancy, will if the epportunity is taken advantage of by our people, prove of in- éstimable value in the growth and up- building of the town, us it will enable parties owning lote to build themselves homes, and enjoy the comforts of’a home while paying for the same in easy pay- ments, not exceeding the amount which would be paid out for rent. Parties de- siring any information. concerning the company.can address or call on the Sec- retary. We take the following items from the Boulder Age: At the regular March meeting of the County Commissioners the ordinary routine work was attended to, but the session being limited by law to five days did not allow time for the completion of the work, so there will be a session March 18th for considering road matters.

The contract for the county printing and advertising was awarded to the Age. : The heirs of Henry N.- Hunter, who was recently killed by an engine on the Great Northern railway, near Clancy, have begun a suit against the company for 830,000. It is said the informal White House receptions which were suspended while “Coxey’s Army” was marching on Wash- ington, for prudence, caution or*fear, on the part of the authorities, just accord- ing to the view you may take of the matter, were resumed today, and the announcement made that each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday during the re- mainder of his term, the President will, when in Washingtofi, go into the Hast room at 1.15 P. M., for the purpose of - shaking hands with such persons as may be there assembled. For nearly two years the inestimable boon of shak- * mining men as a most. excellent -pros- | pect.

Current gossip says that a war be- | tween President Cleveland and Secre- tary Olney is more likely to ovcur than la war between the United States and | Spain, Its all about Cuba. Last week a statement was given to the press giv- ing reasons why the administration would noti obey the concurrent Cuban resolution adopted by congress. That statement’ was written by Secretary ing hands with the President has been denied to those visitors to Washington who were not of sufficient importance to _ be accorded a private interview, but its restoration will probably not largely in- crease the travel over the railroads com- ing into Washington.
