Tliei gitartette a Prom's- ing Prospect, and \ fl } IRISH SYNDICATE' Being Rapidly Dereloped—fiome thing of Its History. We hear that Gus Stull and Charlie Fitten are developing - some excellent sire on their claim at the head of White Horse. George McKibbon, of Chicago, treasurer of the Winston Mining & Milling Co., is in camp looking after the business interests of his people. Work is to begin imme- diately on this company's proper- ties. Sterling & Lindsay have struck a rieh lead on their claim, one which they have been following for some time. These gentlemen have labored faithfully prospect- ing and developing, during the past two years, and wears pleased to note that their commendable perseverance seems more than lies his to reap a rich reward. Last week we copied an article from the Helena Sunday Times in reference to a recent shipment of ore from the Buzz mine. The Times was considerably in error in its statement of the grade of ore produced by the Buzz, assays giv- ing an average of $126 in gold to the ton. The Buzz is a great mine, and we are told that Mr. eedan expecte to work a forot fifty men as soon as he can clear the property from litigation. Dur- ing a recent call at this office, he left a very fine specimen of ore from the Buzz, the sample show- ing free gold and tellurium. A recent visit to the Big and Little Casino, better known as the Irish Syndicate, found everything progressing nicely under the an- perietendency of Fred -Stoltz. The property is owned by Rooney, Ma- her & Each and is being operat- eninderslease and bond by Klein- emith Bros., of Helena, who are pushing development work night and day. They have a steam pump and whim hoist in Operation, and are in 200 feet on the level from the shaft and raising to the sur- face for a permanent work shaft. They expect to break through this week and will put in a permanent work -shaft 40E6 ft. and about 50 feet in depth. , The last ore in the bins was shipped Monday. This mine was discovered by Jack Gal- lagher in a peculiar manner. Be- ing intoxicated he lost his way to the cabin for which he was head- ed and, while straying aimlessly over the hills, found -in- the roots of a huge pine tree, which had been upturned by the wind, some very rich galena Ore. Associating with himself four other prospec- tors, under the name of the Irish Syndicate, he proceeded at once to take out ore and netted $1600 on the first small shipment. The Irieh Syndicate became so elated over its mimesis as to refuse a cash offer of $10,000 for the undeveloped property, and informed the would- be buyer that if he would bring $100,000, in gold, in a wheelbarrow they would keep the gold and he might retain the wheelbarrow and take the property. What sum they eventually realized for it we are unable to state, but they have vanished, except Jack who is r% jug time in the pen. for man - laughter. Ross Deegan is making anoth- er shipment of ore from the Buzz mine. Pertle & Cleve have leased the Meteor, situated at the .head of White Florae gulch. • It is reported that Homy Slav - ins has struck a six inch vein of high grade silver -lead ore in the Mollie Gibson which is situated a quarter of a mile south of the Champion mine, Beaver creek dis- trict. Ed Humphrey and Pete Farren have leased the Gold Dust proper- ty, which is located in the Park and has in past times been a heavy producer. The boys are making preparations to thoroughly pros- peet the property. The Jennings brothers have leased one of the claims belonging to the Free :coinage group. Ike Moreland is sinking a shaft on an- other and has already made a strike. The ore is yet somewhat mixed but shows up immensely, there being blocks of galena a foot square. Arthur D. Lord, son • of the senior member of the Lord & Tho- mas advertising agency of Chicago, one of the greatest concerns of the kind in the world, is in eaMp- Mr.. Lord is looking after the interests of the Beaver Creek Mining & Milling Co., and will remain a couple of months. A mining man who has lately visited Winston speaks in glowing terms of the mining industry of that section, and especially of the East Pacific mine. The property is in very able heeds, and there is a large amount of good ore in sight with ground enough to block out fully _half_ssanallien defiers _ worth more.—Mining World. Frank Revins has bonded his group of claims, known as the Alice, Mollie and Ida, to Victor Taft and the Lofgren brothers. These prospects are very promis- ing, and while the lead is still broken, the shaft only being down 25 feet, the ore is pure galena, as- saying 74.4 percent lead, 72.3 ozs. silver with a trace of gold. Taft & - Isofgren Bros. will - at - unee - begin development work and it is thought that the property will become a paying mine. It may be well to mention here that while there has been a great deal of money made, no one. has lost moneY - by mining- in the Win- ston district. All of its mines have been dividend payers from the start and, where properly man- aged, have nevir tailed to Muria a handsome profit to investors, and as they are nearly all worked en- tirely by tunnels, it has never re- quired but a few thousand dollars to put any of them in operation. This places investments on quite a different footing to those made in mining districts where deep shafts must be sunk, and expensive hoisting machinery isTacecT, before - capitalists can begin to realize on their investments. , We inspected the Quattette, re- cently. This property is contigu- ous to the Irish Syndicate and is owned by E. S. Pollard, Fred Stoltz, J. J. Goodman and Calvin Stevens, and now shows an eight inch vein of silver and lead bear- ing ore, with a small per centage of copper and gold. The boys have an excellent new whim, ven- tilating apparatus, etc, in place and are down 100 feet with their work- ieg shaft. The shaft is. well timbered and a cross -cut -has been run some distance to tap the lead. The ore runs 80 ounces in, silver and with the restoration of the white metal to its normal usage will make tho Quartette a rich pis 'he owners only lack -4 the capital necessary to further deviilope it to make it •e. paying proposition as matters novi''' stand. The prObable. increase la 'the price of lead, - to result - increased tar:ff on thet article, will greatly enhance the value of all lead -bear- ing properties in the White Horse country whether silver is rensone- tiled or not. It is reported at this office that G. t. Dorland has a force of men engaged in taking out 200 tons of ore from a group of claims in the York district. it is being taken from an immense body of low grade ore as a test of its value and milling properties, . Montana's Metal Output. E. Braden, the assayer in charge of the United States assay office, has just compiled an officiaLstate- mcnt of tha metal production of Montana for the year 1896. This report, properly circulated, will open the eyes of the world to the importance and greatness of Mon- tana's mineral resources. A sum- mery of the metal production is as follows: Gold, 211,914.961 oun- ces, value $4,380,67i.00; silver, 15,- 720;02'2.44 fine ounces, coinage val- ue V0,324,877.49 :copper, 232,096,- 41331Po wunds value at $10.34 per cwt. 125256,540.77; J122,- 521,340 fine pounds, at $2.97i per cwt. $670,009.87, making the total mineral production of Montana ready the neat sum of $50,732,099.- 13 for the year 1896. • The Game Law. new game law is now in rce and effect in Montana, is one that .has the approval 1 devotees of the red and gun, f whom worsouthusias- - 14-1 , 67) en - actment, • te killing of bison, buffalo, qus , Chinese pheasant, beaver and eanntaiu sheep is 'absolutely prolii Not more than two moose or elk may be killed in one season, and the open season for these animals is from Sept 15 to November 15, of each year.

There is, talk of organizing a company to put a dredge at work on the placerdeposits in theClark's Fork country. There are about three hundred tons of ore lying below the Hens- ley smelter which was owned by H. H. Barnes. The ore has been sold to the East Helena smelter.— Castle Truth. James J.

They have been working a small force of mn.nIithia mine for some time and have mind and shipped sever- al car loads of ore that is said to have netted them a thousand dol- lars to the car. They will now stops the new ore chute, which will give them more ground and enable them to operate on a considerably larger scale than heretofore.—Basin Pro- gress. The Mining World says that on account of the recent \inking_ ok the two steamers plying on the Kootenay river between Jennings and Ft. Steele, it would point out another way of getting to the Ft. Steele country. This route is by Bonner's. Ferry over the old Wild Horse trail, and is easily 60 miles shorter. This trail has been in use over forty years, in fact ever since its construction in the 50s, and being in good oondition and beaten, with no „steep men ii.. tame to climb, should be a favorite mode of travel to those going into east Kootenay. Ira Meyers, of Great Falls, ar- rived in this city yesterday from Butte, where he has been looking after some mining business. Asked in regard to the rumor that the Diamond R. mining company of Neihart, in which he is heavily in- terested, is about to resume, Mr. Meyers said there was truth to the same, although the time of resump- tion has not been fully decided on. The company has been experi- menting with concentrating the ore and the experiments were very successful. The plans are to °rest a concentrator near the mine, ship- ping the concentrates to the Great smelter. -s -Helena Her- ald. The output of minerals for Mon- tana during the year of 1896 was something to fill the breast of the Montanian with pride and the mind of the stranger with wonder. Over fifty millions of dollars were taken from the earth in the form of minerals, and of that great amount an output of 232,096,483 pounds of copper gave to the red metal first place. Silver Bow coun- ty practically gave the immense production to the . etato and to the world, its output being:, Gold $1,- 236,501,40; silver, $14,378,3110.89; copper, 128,886,962 pounds.
