registered at Haserodt's hotel. Mr..
Chambers was formerly assayer for the
DeSmet company and is an experienced

talks strongly Of going into some kind
Of business here and If he does will

A New Discovery.

A new and valuable discovery has
lately been made by Mr.. Tarrant, a
rancher of French creek. Our readers
must not jump at a conclusion and
imagine that he has discovered Il rare
and valuable variety of pumpkin, or
squash, for if SO they will be

this The discovery of Il mine rich in
copper and silver. Some of the ORE was
submitted to a crude test lowing to a
ack of appliances by Mr.. Chambers,
and gave a return of about 80 per cent.
copper to the ton and some chloride ofsil
yer. The copper alone, however. makes it
one of the richest discoveries aver made
in the Hills and Il full description of the

The Gold Star Company.

The we'll at the Gold Star mill was on
Thursday down III feet and no bedrock
in sight. At that depth the formation
is a hard slate-colorcd clay and it is sup
posed that undertaking this Will be
found Il wash formation with plenty OF
water running. I'm our opinion the nios
favorable feature of the enterprise IS h
depth to bedrock, as it will, when reacl'
ed, drain the country in that vicinity tor
a distance Of over Il mile IN every side.
At a depth Of forty feet sufficient water
was encountered to run ten stamps.
The mill is now only waiting for water
in order to drop stamps, and is II
of the most complete pieces of mechanic
al engineering to be seen in the country.
Every ~labor-sayin. appliance known To
the mill ma is to be found in this mill.
After the ore is dumped into the ore
bin at the end of the tramway it Will re-
quire no handling. A car will there re-
ceive and convey it to the Blake crusher
in the upper story Of the mill, where 1t
is dumped into powerful jaws OF tins
machine which will brake it into
particles no larger than a mans hand,
from here it passes to shuts below which
conduct it to the seif-fceders, and these,
one to every five stamps, drop the ore
under the stamps AK it is required. Ar
ter passing through the batteries the
gold and puIverized rock is carried over
the regulation apron covered with ANAL
gam, where i'm most mills the saving
process stops, but not SO here, for il is
then run on to blankets, which are
hardly ever known TO let any of the
finest gold escape; but to make assur-
ance double sure, Chris Ruth, one ofthe
best amalgamators in the Hills, has In
troduced a series of settlers which
makes it utterly impossible for any gold
to be lost. Mr.. Fisher, the local man
ager and superintendent for the com
pany has also civ his undivided at
tention to the work and is always to be
found at his post, vigilant in his duty of
looking after the interests of the stock
holders, and with the utmost assurance
we predict Il large cleanup and success
