A LITTLE GAUZY.
Anxious Inquiries Regarding a
Defunct Mining Scheme.

-
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived recently, most of them from
Grant county, Wis; regarding the
value and prospects of the montana
Gold Mining and Milling Company"
the impression of the anxious on
quirers% evidently being that the COM
pany is one of those operated in the
vicinity of Butte. The tenor of letters
received indicates that large blocks
Of The stock Of the company have
been or are about to be placed upon
the eastern market for sale. The
properties Of the Montana Gold Min
ing and Milling Co. are located in
Madison county, at the head of Wis
consin Greek, about ten miles
northeast from Sheridan, where they
own a 10-itamp mill and twenty or
more mining claims. The company
was organized some three years ago
by N. z. Parmeter, of Chicago, and
his brother, O. F. Parmeter, of Sher-
idan. Theodore Noel, who at that
tune published a mining journal in
Chicago, was induced to take a hand
in the scheme, and principally
through his influence a company
was organized with considerable
capital. The subsequent history of
the enterprise is soon told. Thee
Noel came out as manager, a ten
stamp mill was erected at a cost of
$4,000, a continuous run of several
months produced NO returns, and in
November, 1881, G. D. Miller, = prac-
teal miner and mill man, was sent
out by the Chicago board to
take charge of the works. He
was not recognized by the Noel man.
agement, who refused to turn over
the works. Some of the directors
came on, soon after the arrival of
whom a cleanup was made of a ten
days run, which yielded a total out
put of $11.92. The mill was then
shut down, and by mutual agree
ment Mr.. Miller was permitted to
make a one days run of ten hours.
Three tons and a half of ore were run
through with a $50 cleanup as the
result. This improved output ex-
cited the Noel faction, who immedi-
ately started up again and run
through 200 tons, out of which they
saved a total of STAG. The property
was then leased to Parmeter &
Brown, who made a 200 ton run and
threw up their lease. The works
were then shut down until Febru-
airy, 1882, when a trial run was
made on low grade ore, resulting
in a saving of from SIS to s. per ton.
Another trial run was made in July,
1882, which did not produce satisfac-
tory results, and the mill has been
shut down during the past year. The
mines owned by the company, of
which the Sally Ann is the most de-
velored, are we'll known by a num-
Der ofgentlemen in Butte, who agree
in the statement, that although some
good specimens are found on the sur
face, a depth of % feet exhausts the
and that the formation is ira
chyte with brownish red oxidation,
indicating the presence Of base metal,
and that if there was anything in the
property the mill would have scored
a better record.

expected that loaded boats will leave Cum

CONCLUSION.
Some people will think this queer way to ad-
vertise others no doubt will think it is paid for
by the customer. 1 shall endeavor to prove to all
that it is legitimate from first to last In the
first place to make my establishment popular,
have every season been giving away Souvenirs,
at great expense, which were of little value to
any one. This season the thought struck me- to
issue 1000 tickets, and give ticket to each
purchase Of FIVE DOLLARS, when the 1000
tickets have been given away, to have Grand
Drawing. So the persons holding the lucky num-
bers, will be the possessors of handsome prizes
Remember my establishment is the only house
in the city, which has but ONE PRICE. Every
article being marked in plain figures, from which
never deriate. Any person not being satisfied
with the bargains bought of me, have the privi.
lege OF returning the same, and get back their
money. | guarantee my marked prices much
lower than the prices you pay after jewing others
