COLLAR MINE.

over the large number Of rich devel-
opments IN the various mines. The
Collar, for some time past, has been
running a drift eastward from the tun-
mel, and although following vein
nearly all the distance, some ninety
feet, nothing out Of the ordinary run
of ore was found Until few days ago
when q vein of quartz was reached
that is the richest in silver ever seen in
Montana. The width is as yet unde.
termined, having cut into it nine feet
without any sign of reaching the farther
wall The Collar folks are smiling, and
well they may.
MONTANA
The Maginnis Mining Co. opened
the Montana at the top Of the ridge,
on Gold Hill. last week, and four feet
from the surface, reached the main
body Of ore, showing a vein Of IS feet,
running north and south, and very
rich in gold.
. Parties are now negotiating for the
Montana and Oro Cache. and in fact,
all the claims on Gold Hill. If satisfac-
tory terms can be reached, the pur-
chasers propose to put in frst-class
reduction works, second to none in
Montana. Nothing smaller than 4
6c-5tamp mill need be expected. If
the present owners Of the Montana
and ORC Cache retain their property
they will erect, early in the spring. %
frst-class ao-stamp mill, the present
one having proved inadequate
KENTUCKY FAvoRITE.
Work on this mine during the past
week has shown up large body Of
ore, bearing both gold and silver. 1t is
rumored that il has been bonded for a
large sum Of money. The owners are
2usder.u- the erection Of a mill and
are almost sure 10 do so. It's value
has increased 100 per cent in the last
ten days.
Mining property in all parts Of the
district has advanced in value 25 per
cent.
The impression seems to prevail that
that there are but two mines in the
district whereas, there are over two
hundred, each with several hundred
dollars worth of work done, and Is
fine quartz and large vein as the two
already developed. Miners and ex-
pcrts coming here. from all parts Of the
known mineral districts, who have
spent all their lives in mines and min
ing, are unanimous in the assertion
tlat they never saw any such showing,
either on the surface or in shafts or
tunnels as are found here. During the
b past week several experts from other
b Montana districts, have been here, and
after a few hours spent in and around
, the various mines an shafts unhesi-
p .ltingy declare that no district IN
Mon-ana viii compare Avorably with
