Late developments in the New Depart.
ure mine in the Blue Wing district have
opened up the shoot Of black ore that was
recently struck into bonanza of high grade
ore that assays, on an average, fully as well
as the results recently mentioned in the
TRIBUNE. This exceedingly fine vein of
ore is now developed to such an extent
that the owners of the mine, Messrs. Clay.
ton Il Browne, have a good thing in sight,
and the New Departure mine is now val
liable property.
The ST. r.. res Of the Argenta and Blue
Wing O, ,tr. i, have for number OF years
Welded handsome returns when shipped to
distant noints. Con Bray returned from
Salt =, where he had been attending
the sa.- Il a number of tons Of first class
Legal Tender ore. The ore from this mine,
since its discovery, has always been high
grade. The recent shipment gave better
| returns than was expected. When ore
runs higher than it is expected to run it is
good enough. The first class Legal Ten
der ore samples 400 ounces in silver to the
ton, with heavy per cent in lead.

Reports Of the condition Of the stock in
all parts Of Beaverhead County are good.
The favorable winter and light fall OF SHOW
| on the grazing ranges has been everything
for the herds Of the county. Cattle, sheep
and horses are doing well. On Horse
Prairie the herds are in fine condition, and
ON Red Rock and vicinity Shinebcrger's
large herd and the smaller bands are re-
ported to be wintering finely. On the
Beaverhca,i, Big Hole, Blacktail, Rattle
snake and Grasshopper the stock Is pulling
through splendidly. Very light losses Of
stock have been sustained this winter thus
far throughout the county.
More mining sales are pending in Bea-
verhead County at present than at any
time for years past. In the Birch Creek,
Argenta, Bannack and Blue Wing districts
many mines are under bond, with tho most
favorable prospects that companies with
ample capital to .pcn and operate them
will take hold and develop the properties.
This IN by reason Of the favorable mining
out look in nearly all oi the districts OF the
county. The extraordinary success Of the
Ilecla Company at Glendale is evidence
that the mines ut Beavert,ead County are
among the richest and most productive in
Montana. With u s,nelter at Birch Greek
and another in the vicinity OF Bannack, the
output OF Beaveri,ead County could be run
up to nearly $.3,oS1,osO annually.
