FLANUNIEN MtLL--lhis ten stamp MIL
located at Georgetown, Deer Lodge county
is nearly completed, and will commence run
uiuE next week on rock from the Minnesota
ledge. This ledge has been developed by
three shafts, 80, 10 aud so feet In depth re-
spectIvely and by cuts run across the ledge.
The width of the lode varies from twenty
Two 20 twenty-seven feet, and there already
seems 20 be quartz enough IN sight TO run upon
year without stopping. The great value of
abe rock does not con sist In any extreme
richness, but In the very even manner In which
ihs gold Is distributed Ii is expected that the
ore will yield SIS 10 the ton for the full
width of the Ledge, and 1t Is thought that
thIs will pay we'll from the fact thar the IA
lILtles for mining are such that the rock can
he got out ami delivered ut the mill for eight
dollars per ton. We shall look with much
interest to the results obtained in this mill.
II they prove the enterprise to be success,
tney will also furnish the evidence that there
are hundreds of leads In the country which
can be worked 20 advantage, that have not,
heretofore been touched.
