The daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1879-1885, 1882-01-01

DIARIES OF that portion OF the crow hes-
ervation now sought to be segregated
and restored to the public domain. The
condition of the bond to the East
ern capitalists being that they will re.
ceive the mines and pay the purchase
money therefor as soon as the treaty Is
ratified and the locators make their
proper filings in the Land office in the
Land district in which the mines are
situated. One Of the principal mines Of
the district is the Great Republic. 1t
is situated ut an altitude of about 5000
feet, and miners state that it shows II
body Of ore nearly equal to that Of the
Horn Silver mine. Of Utah. The vein
as far as developed shows from ~ to ~
feet, and can be plainly traced and seen
from the groupings, which extend more
than mile. 1t will average 500 per
ton III silver. with IL trace of gold and
. per cent lead. This mine in lmrticu-
lar has been thoroughly plospccted and
assayed by mining experts, among
whom is +. Y. Eltonhead, Of Philadci-
ny Eastern capitalists. Mr.. f. remains
ed there personally experimenting the
development Of the mine for period ut
more than two months.
One Of the richest mines as vet dis
covered in Monta II is the Black War
ior. Its altitude is between 5000 and
10000 feet. The development consists
of two shafts Of 2G and 80 feet respect
lively, and tunnel of about 80 feet,
which shows the bearing or direction of
the vein the entire length of the loca-
ton, 1,5o0 feet. The vein varies III
width and is now over 8 feet, ut the
bottom of the 26-f ut shaft, with we'll
defined walls. At the depth of % feet
it commenced defining itself, and ut
2G feet IL showed a vein OF brittle silver
and tellurium ore averaging over $3.50
per ton and carving 10 per cent. lead.
sulphurcts, chloriles and ruby silver.
The assays made from this lead run
high into tie thousands. Several as
says before from this mine have been
made running from $50 to So, 900 per
ton, the value OF the retort being over
one-third in gold. These results were
reached from assays made in Glendale
and Butte, NJ. Il. II is the opinion OF
experts who have examined this mine
that it is destined to become the future
bonanza of Montana.

mine Of the same character as the Black
Warrior, and lying directly east, shows
