Splendid Showing in the Mines at
Lion City.
The Future of that Camp Assured.

The Future of that Camp Assured.
Lion City is starting off with a new BOOM.
The mines of the Hecla Consolidated Com
pany are looking well. A rich body of smelt-
ing ore has been discovered in the Cleve
mine, assaying away up in the hundreds of
ounces in silver to the ton. In the Silver
King mine new bodies GORE are being IN
covered almost every day. In the True Fis-
sure mine, at the deepest point reached in
Lion Mountain, a rich Lody of ore is opened
up. This is considered the most important
find the company has made this summer, as
it proves, c~Onclusively, that the ore bodies
continue beyond the 'broken ground,' and
what has heretofore been considered til bot
tom of the mines. Last year all prospecting
was stopped when this comparatively barren
zone was reached, and before the company re-
allied it four of their principal mines were
old and worked out. This new find will in.
spire confidence, and all the mines of the
company will be pushed onward with a | the
energy possible. Mr.. James Parfet, the sup
~erin,endent, is entitled to great praise for the
manner in which this result las been brought
about. In the Cleopatra mine the bottom of
the incline shaft shows a vein twenty feet
thick of smelling ore. A very fortunate
thing for tie company is the fact that in this
mine the ore improves in smelling quality az
depth is attained.
The Hecla Company is making every prep
aration for a heavy winters work. A hoist
ing engine has been put up on the Silver
King mine, and another engine has been put
in the bottom of the Sheep mine. From
The Sheep a crossscut will be driven to the
Fissure mine, tapping it $50 feet deeper
than its present workings, and level will al
SO be driven to connect with the main incline
on the Sheep. On the Cleopatra mine, a new
hosting engine has been placed, and the
+ company will erect a boarding house at this
mine, on which a full force OF men viii be
employed hereafter.
The company Is preparing to extend the
wire tlamWay to the foot of Tie mountain.
Mining operations this season have been de-
layed Oh account of the scarcit of men. and
no idle men can now be found on the streets
of Lion City. Heretofore the company has
worked large gangs of men during the sum =
mel and reducing their forces during the win
ter. This suicidal mistake will not be repeat
ed. 4 regular force will be employed the
whole year round, winter and summer alike.
Our informant says that the business Of Lion
City is picking up rapidly, and the merchants
are correspondinsly happy. The new Heel,
administration has made many friends, and
everybody now swears by the general man
ager Mr.. Knippe nberg.

QUARTZ.
Items From the Bitter Root Dis
tricts.

We are indebted to our StevensVilie cores
ponGent for items from the Woodchuck and
Willow Creek quartz districts in Missoula
County.
The Belle lode in the Woodchuck district
is a copper and silver bearing vein. 1t looks
we'll as far as developed. An assay shows
o3u5 ounces of silver to the ton and 30 per
cent in copper.
Messrs. Walters, Gates and Long, W
quite a number of locations, which are being
prospected and opened III the Noodchuck
district. The ore is co Iper-silver, and the
ASSAYS result in showing that the ore is OF a
paying quality.
The Willow Creek district to the south
west of Stevensville and contains good ore.
Messrs Buck, Nichols & Co. own the Web
ster mine. They have a standing offer OF
SIG, 900 for the property. A six-foot vein is
opened and it is widening as it is being snnk
on. They have had assays Of 500 ounces in
silver to the ton and go per cent in lead.
A rich strike has been made in the Sweat
House district, but it is not yet developed
enough to know how extensive 1t Is.
Two assays resulted in 1850 and
2 900 ounces to the ton in silver
Considerable ore in the three districts
ASSAYS we'll, and as the mines are more fully
opened their permanency and value Will be
established. - ... g

Bullion Shipments by Express

The shipments Of silver bullion bars by the
Pacific Express Company at Butte, for the
week ending Saturday, September 3, 1881,
footed up 4,233 pounds, valued at $66, 46S.

At this rate the shipments by express for
the whole year 1881 will be about So SOC, 900.
But this will be largely increased for the re-
naming one third of 1881. The new Moulton
mill will be running, the addition to the Sill
YER Bow mill will soon be finished, and the
Rowland Pulverizer of the Alice Company
will be contributing, so that it is reasonable
to calculate that the shipmen. by express will
foot up So 100000.

The Probable Yield Of the Butte Dis.
trict for the Year SO, 900, 900.

The shipment of silver bullion by express
does not give more than half of the gross
amour of money produced from the mines
of tho Butte District. The three Smelters-
the Colorado, Parrot, and Meaderville-are
producing an amount, it is estimated, equal
to the value of the express shipments. As
Stunning this to be a correct basis to estimate
the product of this district for 1881, it will be
found that the yield will be about Sc, 100000
for the year. The express business is easily
arrived al. The Pacific Express Company,
Of this city, has shipped for the past eight
months silver bullion valued respectively as
