have been there state that there are plenty
of coal groupings, and 1t is believed veins as

Fred Zingler, who has been prospecting
the Boss mine, in Barker, for the past year,
is reported to have made rich strike of five
feet Of good ore, galena and carbonates, sim
liar to the Silver Belle ore. As prominent
smelter man remarked the other day, they
have now lots of ore, but unfortunately no
reduction works. 1t is pity this good ore
was not struck in an earlier stage of the
game.-RiUer Press
Peter Fehrenbach is just in from Barker,
coming from White Sulphur Springs over to
Neihart by the new mountain road. He re-
ports travel as practically suspended for the
winter over this route, as there are now four
feet and half of snow near the summit, and
there has not been enough ore hauled over
the road to keep the snow well packed. In
the gulch at Neihart there is only about two
feet Of snow-River Press.
Larry Neihart has been developing the
Huxley lead this winter, and claims that he
has in this mine eighteen inches of the rich
est ore that has been struck in the camp. If
this is true he has got hold Of something that
will run up into the thousands. The boys
who own the Queen of the Hills and O'Brien
leads arc negotiating a sale with parties in
Helena. We hope they will be successful in
their endeavors.-Riuer Press.

Mr.. Harry w. Child, Assistant General
Manager of the Boston and Montana Gold
Mining Company, in an interview with an
Independent reporter, reports $4,000 tons of
$50 ore in sight in the Gloster mine. This,
he says, can be worked at a cost of 81 ton,
and will yield net profit to the stockholders
Of s2,762, 800. 1t will, he says, take three
years to work it with the 6O-stamp mill on
the ground. As depth is attained the vein,
which is now ten feet in width, grows wider
and richer. The main shaft Is now down
