Gem, Idaho, lec- tured to a good sized audience at the| Clancy Miners’ Union Hall, at Lump | City, Sunday night, the lecture being | upon the famous Coeur d’Alene labor | strike of 1892, together with an explana- tion of the troubles existimg in the min- ing camps Of Wardnerand Mullan at the present time. The speaker was intro duced by Mr. Jesse Wilkinson, who pre sided, and spoke upon bis subject for an hour and three-quarters, holding the | close attention of his audienee, by whom his remarks were received with much enthusiasm. The speaker began by stating that be would base ‘the facts of bis story and ar- gument upon the results of the trials be fore the courts after the strike of 1892 These, be said, bad resulted favorably to the miners, and thoroughly justified | them in all their actions. He gave a) graphic description of the grave indus- after which he will again return to the Coeur d’Alene country, the object of the present_ tour being to thoroughly post the miners of this state on not only the true condition of affairs to-day, but an accurate history of the great labor troub- les of that section of Idaho. * * * THE MAUPIN GULOH DISTRICT. A discovery of genuineLeadville yel- low lead carbonates has been made about four miles back of the Legal Ten- der mine, in the same district where the Homestake, Pilot, Golden Gate, Nipsic, the Willard group and other well-known mines are located. We were presented this week with a specimen of the ore taken from this latest discovery, a piece of pure yellow lead carbonates, taken from a prospect hole only seven feet deap on the Link claim, owned by Arthur S. This district has been known ‘in years past under the general name of the Warm Springs district, principally because of the fact that in order to get into it, one. was compelled to go up Warm Springs creek. It is the same mineral field that it is proposed to tap from this city by extending the road which passes up by the Legal Tender mine and thence on into the foot-bills to the head of the several guiches which come down from the Black or Crow Creek range of moun- tains. This is a district, by-the-way, which | has heretofore been sadly neglected, but which is now attracting deserved atten- tion. All~told there are perhaps 100 men engaged in developing different claims in that locality, and on several others work will soon commence... Men looking for investments in mining should not overlook this locality, and we will stake our long and veracity on thé assertion that they will be astonished at the surface show ings there. As an instance of what is being done we specially mention the Pi- lot mine which only a few months ago purchased for $50. It is now being opened by a tunnel] which is something record for truthfulness | more than 500 feet in length, and more } than a thousand tens of ore are already out in ofe bins and on the dump, await- \chinery which is daily expested.

The mine has done this within the time mantioned beside paying for machinery; labor etc., a rec- ord of which it can well be,proud, ‘Pre- vious to July, 1895, the mine preduced probably more than twic8 the above amount, the most of which was spent in improvements on the property, and put- ting on its splendid equipment of ma- chinery.

William McDermott left Butte Tues day morning, says the Butte Miner, for Helena to ascertain just what there was in the new discovery alleged to have been made by Gen. George R. Vernon, reported in Sunday’s Miner by A. B. Snow of Iron Mountain. As McDermott knows that Snow is a practical mining man he desired to be on the ground and find out just what there was in the story. It is quite true that the exact nature of the ore that is being taken out of the ’96 has been kept as quiet as possible. It is now known that the ore taken from the present drift av- erages quite or over $100 per ton, and that the property is proving rich beyond all anticipation. This new discovery, made further away on the same ledge, has added much interest to the mining situation in Helena, and the ground in that district is now at a premium for ‘96 shaft is only down some 19 feet, and a drift about 50 feet has been made. With so little development it is impossi- ble to give any reasonable idea of the | true value’of these discoveries. * * + HOPE. Mr. Jacob Danielson, one of the mill- ionaire miners of Lump gulch, and the discoverer and main owner of the Hope mine on the northeast side of Sheep Mountain, returned this week from Lin coln gulch, Deer Lodge county, where he went last fall. Mr. Danielson said that he hoped to be able, sometime during the coming summer, to start mp the Hope mine. The developments made in the Hope by Grobe & Henton, when they had the property under bond, was such as to warrant the serious attention of mining men with money who are looking several] miles. At the present time the A . } ing found, which is free milling and will be treated under the stamps for gold in Cole’s mill, which has been leased by the Pilot people for two years, and the tail- ings run over the Vanners. The tunnel on the Pilot will develop the mine to a depth of about 150 feet, at which point it will be 1000 feet in length. This is only one of the many good Bonds are be- ing taken there constantly, and new dis- coveries are being made almost daily, and it is safe to say that no district in Montana has a brighter outlook than the Maupin gulch district. It is a large field, the lodes are large and well defined, | and the ore}while not phenominally rich, is atill good enougk to yield handsome The district is not a one mine district ; all the pros- pects show about equally, so far as sur- The Homestake, in this district, the shaft on which is now down to the 100-foot station, the deepest bole in that locality, bas also made a re- | markable showing, and if work is con- tinued on it will no doubt make as good a property as any of them. The Nipsic is another promising property, but where all are so good it is impossible to go into The entire country is about four miles distant from the railroad at Clancy, all the way a down-hill pull, and the coming year will | see a greater degree of activity than ex ists there now, and more developmeut done, with better results, than in any other portion of Jefferson county, be- yond doubt, if not in the state. * * * THE LITTLE NELU. A small sized fracas occurred at the boarding house this week. The man- mine, it seems, dis- charged the white cooks, and sent outa cargo of Chinamen to take their place. This movement on the part of the man- agement was not relished by the miners and they put up a job on the Chinamen and run them off down the guich. One of the Chinamen was so badly frightened that he jumped through the window of cutting his face and hands quite badly but he was not other- It is expected that the work of sinking soon be commenced though just when has not yét>been decided.

One car of gold ore from this property netted $4,300. The vein from which it was taken ranges | from 8 to 16 inches. The mine is owned by Thomas Carmen, and he is reported to have taken out about $100,000 by tun- nel development alone, and at no place in the property has a depth beea reached below 200 feet. Montana is unconsciously nursing to life a boom near the Idaho border at Bannock, twenty-five miles west from Dillon. The quartz leads have steadily been developed, and a gold ore of an | iron and copper base is being discovered to exist in great quantities. The Chero- |kee mine mentioned in Parson’s report to the government as far back as 1867 | has shown up a big body of ore, and the old historical camp promises to assume new prominence.—Mining Review. | All the new machinery, hoist and boilers for the development of the State |and Ursa Minor mines, located at Little | Boulder, are now quite ready for opera- |tion. These claims lie 11 miles south- | east of Boulder, and are owned by P. A. | Largey, George H. Tong, Chris. Johnson ‘and Thos. H. Mitchel, of Butte. The development so far consists of a shaft 160 ft. deep, which will be sunk to the 300 as soon as possible. The vein is between 5 and 6 ft. between walls, and carries between 3 and 4 ft. of ore, which is said to average $40 to the ton in gold and silver, about equally divided Mr. E. B. Braden Assayer in charge of the United States Assay Office, Helena, Mont., by whom the collection of statis- tics of the production of precious metals in this State was made by order of the Director of the Mint, reports the produc- tion of gold and silver for the calendar year 1895 to have been: Gold, 209,320 silver, 17,701,658 fine oz. Mr. Braden also reports the copper production of Montana for the calendar year 1895 to have been 201,093,992 lbs., of the value of $21,114,869, and lead out- put he places at 24,139,504 lbs., of the value of $754,350. The inerease in the gold-output in Montana over 1894 is $676,000, and the output shows an increase for the same period of 4,881,000 fine ozs. silver. fine oz.,of the coining value of $4,327,040; .
