Important Negotiations.

During his ~sojourn in Fort Benton the
past week Mr.. B. G. Kingsbury has
been conducting negotiations with the
resident owners of the Queen of the
Hills, Homestake and O'Brien leads in
the Montana district for a bond of this
property, and, We are happy to state,
has made very fayorabIe progress. An
agreement has been reached between
him and all the owners in this city

Grand Results at Barker.

Letters received from Barker last
evening bring most encouraging reports
of operations there. The, blast furnace
had been closed down for a short time
but was started up again about twenty
hours before the coach left, running on
Silver Belle and Wright & Edwards ore,
the latter taken directly from the log
heaps and not put through the roasters.
The experiment was a grand success, 160
bars of high grade bullion being run out
in eighteen hours. The saving in ex-
penses by this process is from $50 to $40
a day. The Silver Belle looks better
now than it eve has, and the present
outlook at the camp could not be much
brighter. They have now on hand over
1000 bars of bullion.
