In addition to the reopening of the Lump gulch mines, which now seems to be an assured fact, the Warm Springs district gives unusual evidence of coming to the front in the near future, and the indica- tions now are that it will divide honors with Lump gulch in the matter of pro duction. So also will the great gold belt at and around Montana City, where development has steadily progressed on the Overland and Bonanza Chief, as well as other properties there, with extraor dinary success. The labor trouble in Lump, which at one time threatened to seriously inter- fere with the developmend of this entire section of the country, seems practically to have reached its own solution. The men working at the Little Nell are board- ing where they see fit, without dictation, as are also those who have lately gone to work at the Liverpool, under Mr. Swan. This was all that the Union demanded, and we are glad to ba able to announce that the new arraéafemént gives com plete satisfaction all around. It will be better for the camp and better for the mine owners, for it relieves them of the hotel business, and they can give closer jattention to the development of their respective properties. Should silver ad vance a little in price it would add won- | derfully to the activity of this district, though we see little hope of its immedi‘ ate journey in the right direction, yet AND MINING can therefore be considered as fairly re- memerative, it has not produced the yellow metal so rapidly as it was antici- pated that it would, or that the pan pros- pects in the gravel wouldindicate. Op- erations have been delayed by injunction suits, to stop the tailings from being dumped into the Prickly Pear Creek, and by a want of suitable dumping facilities. The ditch is also the produet of this season’s labor in great part,so that taking everything into consideration the miners have no reason to complain. There have been cleaned up about 120 ounces of gold during the season, worth about $15.50 per ounce. It will therefore be seen that the output approximates very closely to $2,000. * » * MINING NOTES, The camp of Clancy is rather quiet, although one of the mines resumed work last week. There is no gain-saying that the miners of that camp have made a beroic stand in a cause as righteous as any ever undertaken. We sincerely hope to see business start up with its original life in that camp, and to see the rock stand, upon which the producer’s prosperity is built. When a man has earned a dollar, there is no earthly pow- er outside of himself alone shall dictate to him how or where the dollar shall.be spent.~Neibart Herald. [Clancy is all right; the mines are resuming Work and the comming year will see us strictly in it, as of yore.] The Precious Metal Market The Engineering and Mining Journal, for the week ending Dec. 11th, reports as follows: Silver has been in good demand, and all offerings have been promptly taken up. London has stubbornly fought against any advance in the price, but un der pressure of an active December de- livery bas been compelled to advance the price to 6554. The assay office re- ports total réceipts of silver. at-98,000 oz, for the week. The genera! course of business shows aslight improvement this week, although there is still some hesitation, due to doubt as to the course of congress. It is generally accepted that little or noth- ing will be done at the short session ; but the talk of an extra session in March is disturbing, and many business men think it good policy to wait and see we feel safe in making the prediction that the price of the metal will go up to at least 85 cents before McKinley's ad- | ministration is a year old. * . * | COPPER JACK | | We understand that a deal has just | been made for the Copper Jack mine on | Library. Piano and and Banquet Lamps. Cut Glass, Rogers Silverware, Hand-painted China. | Warm Springs Creek to Chicago and Milwaukee capitalists who intend to open it right away. A Mr. Fulton will |have charge of the work and he has al- | |ready given a contract to Spahr & Win- | |ther for mining timbers to be used in |retimbering the sbaft and for other im- | will thoroughly prospect the Copper Jack | provements onthe property. The parties during the comming winter and if the| outlook justifies it will builda mill there. The Copper Jack runs heavily in gold, but bas not been sufficiently developed yet to determine for a certainty the right treatment of the ore. The product on the surface carries considerable copper, though whether this will continue re mains to be seen. Ellis and Frank Beal the former owners, have gone to Winston where they are at work representing a prospect they have in that vicinity. We could not learn the consideration of the deal, hut understand that it was a-cash transaction throughout, The outlook for this district is daily growing brighter, and there will no doubt be considerable activity there during the comming year. * * * LUMP GULCH ORESCENT. Messrs, Stubbs, Hillis & Co., have about four inches of high grade ore in the Lump Gulch Crescent, with more than the average prospect for more with development. These gentlemen are working this property under lease and bond, to run eightéen months, considera- tion $5,000 for a one-half interest. They bond from Hoss and others of Helena, the remaining one-half also being owned in Helena by thé Kleinschmidt Bros. who did not care to dispose of their interest n the property just now. * * * MC’CAULEY’S PLACERS. The mild weather of the past two weeks has permitted the last clean-up for the season to be made at the diggings on Mc Cauley’s bar. While the season’s |issued a call naming January 12th for |from boards of trade, chambers of com- |commercial bodies in cities of 8,000 or work has more than averaged wages, and what may-happen. The Treasury gold reserve continues to show again, and the amount reported #133,096,996--is very satisfactory. The executive committee in charge of the arrangements for the currency re- form convention at Indianapolis has the meeting. The convention is to be composed of representative men chosen merce, commercial! clubs or other similar more inhabitants, according to the cen cus of 1890. The call says: | “The business men have been accused | of neglect of political duties; in ordinary | times there may be some foundation for this charge, but at every critical junct- | ure in the history of our country when | the nation’s pepetuity, honor or general welfare was seriously in danger, they have, in the spirit of enlightened patri- otism, risen to the full measure of their duty,and we believe that the painful ex- perience of the country under the exist- ing laws on the subject of currency ad- monishes the business men that we have reached a point where it is their duty to take an active part in helping the great questions involved. “Please appoint only those who will attend, and report the names of delegates as soon as practicable to H. H. Hannah, Chairman of the Executive Committee Indianapolis Ind.” The call is signed by repesentatives of the boards of trade and commercial bodies in cities represented at the con- ference recently held in Indianapolis. Mr. McDonald, formerly an attorney at law of Helena, has decided to open a law offiice in this city, and he, together with Cassimir Kamber, the newly elect- ed justice of the peace, are fitting up a suite of rooms on Clancy Street, which are nearly ready for occupancy. Mrs. Claflin, of Jefferson, who hasbeen been undergoing treatment in Helena for throat trouble, has so far recovered as to be able to return home. Dr. At- chison performed the operation on her throat which gives evidence of being in every way successful, though Mrs. Claf- lin was very low for a while, and her friends were somewhat alarmed about her. MONTANA STATE NEWS. The Things of Most Importance that Have Happ¢ned Throughout the State Dur- ing the Past Seven Days. ‘There has been a club formed in Butte of Cuban .sympathyzers known as the Cuba Libre club. J. L. Bonesteele, found guilty of the murder of Frank H. Cole, at Butte, was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment. Butte is to have a new high school building, to cost $100,000, the corner stone of which has just been laid with masonic ceremonies. Percy Holter, the little son of A. M. . Holter, of Helena, had his hand shat- tered by thé accidental discharge of a shotgun while out hunting. One of Montana’s old timers, Judge Jeremiah B. Wilcox, died in Butte Dec. 14th, aged 72 years. He had been in poor health for several years past. On Thursday, Dec. 10, at Helena, ex- postmaster F. J. Nesbitt, of Bozeman, was sentenced to three years in the pen- itentiary at Deer Lodge for embezel- ment of U. S. funds. William Morris, of Madison county, one of the best known of the Pioneers of Montana, died at Virginia City, Sunday, Dec. 13th. He came to Montana in 65 and held many positions of trust’ in his chosen home. The Salvation- Army Rescue Mission of Helena, now provide a home for chil- dren whose mothers are obliged to leave them to go out to work. The little ones may be left in the morning and called for in the evening, if so desired. Lon. Harris, of Big Timber,has not been seen or heard of since the 24th of November last and his friends are beoém- ing anxious about him, as he was sup- posed to have had a large sum of money on his person. He was last heard of at Billings. There has been a suit instituted in the Kansas courts to have a receiver appoin - ted for the Montana silver statue. The general manager, ©. D. Higbee, has failed to make an accounting to the Montana stockholders of moneys inves ted by them. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Clark, convicted of the murder of Jobn P. Stewart in 1895, have been pardoned by Gov. Rick- ards. They were convicted by the false testimony of their daughter who not long since confessed to. the crime and committed suicide. Mrs. William Muth, a Helena lady, has gathered and pressed over three hundred varieties of Montana wild flow- ers during the past year, and is now making beautiful souvenirs of them by mounting them on cards bearing photo- graphs of Montana scenery. The two new large buildings at Fort Harrison, near Helena, will be under roof before the cold weather has a chance to stop operations, unless winter comes pretty quick now. There is also to be built a fence, seven miles long, which will enclose the entire reservation. By Judge Knowles’ decision, the lands within the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad, upon which there is some doubt as to their mineral or non- |mineral character, will be exempt from taxation. The state will appeal the case to the U. 8S. court of appeals, as by Judge Knowles’ ruling there would be a loss in taxes of 830,000 yearly. William Kuntz, a man well known throughout Montana, engaged in min- ing at Princeton, near Phillipsburg, was shot and killed Dec. 14th. There was a saloon row over the possession of a re- volver in which one of the participants, Reuben Leveridge, was wounded in the groin. Kuntz was sitting on the door- step and bis killing was accidental. The Federal appropriation for the Bozeman Agrioultural College and ex- periment station for 1897 will be more than $25,000. The college will begin the new year under very auspicious circum- stances, being prepared to complete the new buildings begun early in the new year. The faculty and students are much pleased with the marked progress made during the year 1896. We now have on hand a second sup- ply of “ Prospecting for Gold and Silver in North America,” price 81. This is a book that sells on sightand we will here- after endeavor to keep a supply on hand. The book is an educator in every sense of the word and is one that a prospector can read and understand, and after read- ing it is often as good a geologist and mineralogist as a graduate of a school of mines—so far as practical prospecting is , concerned. See extended description of. the book elsewhere in this issue.
