MINING NEWS The new machinery, which was was spoken of recently, has been placed in the Boulder mill, and the mill resumed operations again Monday morning. Everything is running nicely. Joseph B. Brien and the Prince boys have about completed the new wagon road to the Helper mine, and will soon commence hauling . several hundred tons of ore from their dump which will be concentrated at the Boulder mill. the Progress made a mistake last week in giving the amount of the bond on the Ottowa. The bond is given for $20,000 instead of $10,000, as stated at that time. The mine is owned by John The- bideau. The tunnel is in n.5 feet, of which 135 feet is on the lead, which is solid galena ore from eighteen inches to two feet wide. It is understood that the parties who have it under lease and bond, Messrs. Thomas Hinds, Miles _leinlen and Eugene Sullivan, of Butte, are highly pleased with the property and expect to take up the bond Boon. James Glass, manager of the Basin and Bay State Mining Co., owners of the famous Katie mine at this place, returned from Spring- field, Massachusetts, Mond iy. Mr. Glass has been away for eighteen months, and his return at this time means that the Katie works will soon be rebuilt. The Glams brothers are rustlers from Way - back, and do one has ever doubted their ability to put the Katie mine on its feet and to keep it there, even in the face of the disastrous fire of two years ago which detitmy- ed their magnificent hoisting and concentrating plant. And then, too, behind their rustling . abilities, they have a mine that is strictly all right. John McDermott, P. F. Riley and W. B. Gaffney, who own the Eureka and .Sarsfield group of claims on the Little Boulder, have bonded them to Messrs. William O'Neill 9d M. F. Kennedy, of Butte, for $40,000. The bond is for eighteen months. ' The prop- erties have been developed to a depth of eighty feet. A hoist will be put up at once and the • shaft sunk 100 feet deeper. The ore from the lead assays well in gold and silver. Gen. Chas. S. Warren of Butte hex the happy faculty of saying about the right thing r t the right time, says the Herald. The gen- eral has had too much experience in the mining world to be carried away by a little tewporary excit- ment like that furnished by Alaska. He says that it will require several Clondykes to equel the production of some of the gulches of this ter- ritory. He was in Spokane re- cently and gave the Spokesman - Review the following story: \All this talk about Clondyke being the richest country the world has ever known 'is bosh. Alder gulch. in Montana, pmduced 2100,000,000 in gold and was prob- ably the greatest placer eoteitry ever discovered on earth. Virgin- ia City, the old capitol of M)ntatia, was located there. It was discov- ered in 1863, and $30,000,000 in gold were taken out of the sands the first year the minty; were work- ed. In 1866 the Archie McGregor company secured $2,000,000 in ninety days off of on tans gulch.. They bought all the tati - , r kegs there were in the country, put the gold in the kegs, hired twenty men with Henry rifles. built Mackinaw boats and floated down the Mis- souri river. Last Chance gulch, where Helena is situated, for many years never failed to take out as much wealth as the entire Alaska country has taken. Take Last year, and had silver beea luck to the old price, Montana would hare pro- duced as much wealth as all Africa. Some people axe inclined to go wild over Alaska, but when it is remembered that this shipment is the accumulated washings of six months, there if not 80 much to blow about. Right here is a min- ing country good enough fer any man, and one that wil/ he in its prosperity when the tilondyke, are all broke. - .r • BASIN IN BRIEF. Rev.
