MINING NOTES.
The Alice Is locking we'll, partic-
ularly in the Wine from the 200
which is in ore from the top down,
and shows q 5 foot ledge of high
grade in the bottom. The 500 foot
west drift is also locking fine, the
ledge maintaining its grade and
widening with development.
The Magma Charta Wine from the
west 100 is in q rich ore body which
has been uncovered across the ledge
to a width of 8 feet and the walls
have not yet been reached. The sur.
face ledge, which has been hereto
fore described in the MINER, holds
out in grade and extent. A large
amount of fine grade ore is being sx-
tracted FROM it.
At the Moulton the slopes of the
200 west drift are looking better than
ever. Work is progressing on the
upraise from the 800 which will be
driven to the surface for purposes of
ventilation. Thirty feet is being adj
ded to each ST the cooling floors at the
mill, which is dropping its forty
stamps with w0nted regularity.
The go foot east drift in the Shen-
bar has advanced 800 feet and shows
q ledge three INT one-half feet wide
in the face, Of It's ounce ore. An up
raise has been started from this drift
which will be run to the surface for
purposes of ventilation. A run is be-
ing made at the Colorado smelter, on
duxing ore, this week.
The Poser is being steadily worked
and improves with development,
which is going on much more rapid.
ly than formerly with the steam
hoist.
MeNulty & Co. are making q big
hole in the ground with their new
steam hoist at the Goldsmith No. 2
and are getting out some fine ore.
w. A. Clark has purchased D. n.
Dellingsr's half interest in the Nep-
une lode, situated southwest of the
city limits, the consideration being
$1,000. The Neptune is one of the
most promising prospects in the dis
trict, showing strong groupings the
entire length of the claim and deveI-
oped by tive discovery shafts, the
deepest 25 feet, both Of which show
a 3 foot ledge of 20 ounce ore. The
mine will be worked and thoroughly
developed.
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC EXHIBIT.
A MINER reporter yesterday in
spected at Caplice Hall the collection
of specimen ores gathered in summit
Valley district for the Northern Pa
ciic exhibition cars, and lie has NO
in p~ronouncing it the
and finest representative ex- :,
hibit of Montana ores that ever went
out of the Territory, and there seems :.
to be but little doubt that in their ex- .
hibit from place to place throughout :.
the United States and probably in !:
more real benefit will &C .
crue to u mining interests 7,
from the attention which this =
exhibit will attract, than could pos .
'ibly be derived from any other exhi- :.
oition of ores in which Montana has :
sver been represented. Among the .
