Another One to be Built—En- ormous Quantities of Ore. Clarence E. Barnes, one of the owners of the Barnes -King mine in this camp, wee recently in Great. Falls, and was in- terviewed by the Leader. In the course of his chat he said: . \I consider the mine the largest in the country anywhere, and I *to confi- dent it will rival the famous Treadwell mine with further development. The million -dollar bond which is held on the property will run out in June, and I am .atislied it will be taken up at that time. Whether it is or not cuts no figure with us, as the little mill which we are work- ing on the property at the present time is clearing over $25,000 a month for us, mei there is a solid mountain of ore in sight. We own 6000 feet elong the lead and have made development work which shows up imeralimited amount of ore such as we a e at present working. I secured an interest in the property *lit- tle over a year ago for it wing, and the others who arelitterested came ill later. Wr did not think anything in particuler of the proposition, lint a little develop- ment showed tip a literal mountain of low grade ore, and strive that time we hay' been shoveling out money flout the hill. The or body runs from $4 a ton up, and is It cyanide proposition. The Whole mountain Is ore end in shoveled into the mill, leaving the cost of mining and milling at about 50 cents a tOti The mill is 100 tons daily in enormity, so you ,tee with the little layout that we hay'.' 'e are not worrying as to the hoed being ,aken up. • \The development work which has ; been conducted at the north end of the Ipioperty has been very satisfactory Rad — Ale results gained are better than were geticipated. A 150 -foot tunnel has been and a 50-footcroeseut run both Ways - !Nom the end of the tunnel in exception- ailly rich ore. This has demonertrated to l our satisfaction that the northern eft(' of '*he ground is fully as valuable HP that hich is now being worked, and in all irfrobability a mill will he erected in that i lecelity this season. I ; \The mill has only been in operation nce last September but in that , time ltSrut so far exceeded our expectatioile that l it seems something like a Monte Cristo dream, except for the fact' that the cash I .1erelyPeaceotmheinwgco,:kitinegvoefrya,mweienkt. as rewn_ 1I ' m 'Pergus county ha e been forging to e front very rapidly during the past !few years and the gold mines which I brive been discovered v ithin her hounds i during the past couple of years will soon iplace her at the head of the gold pro- ducing districts of the world. At pres- ient the county leads the world ass sheep 'hind wool producer, is well up the list in ,the line of cattle, and her mineral 'le- t ,.posits will be the talk of the financial ?circles of the earth within a short time. f \The mining districts which produce lastrli money Instead of expectations, are the districts which win out in the end, and that is the kind which Fergus county has.\ LOCOMOBILES COXING. One will be Ready Next Month and Six Others to S \The transportation queetion will be solved to the coMplete satisfaction of the public, when we put our locomobiies ott the road,\ remarked John It. Cook, Sun. day, to the CHRONICLE. \When will the first one be ready? By May 20. I shall go to Spokane this week on business con- nected withibie very neuter.

I called to the top of my voice, and kept it up until I Was hoarse and well nigh exhausted. As the night wore on it became very cold. I was iii SHOW to my knees, and my feet were sopping wet. As the long hours of the night wore on I would at times feel that perhaps it was to be my fate to die alone in Hutt hole. '1'lle thought was maddening, and I would EIIMIII011 all iny strength mid shout, 'and renew the struggle to escape. \To keep from freezing was no easy thing.
