Special correspondence Of the MINER.
rH1LIPsBURa, May 10, 1884.
Frank l.. Perkins, ESQ. snnar,n
tendent of the Hope and Granite
Mountain Mining Companies. lefl
mere for st. Louis, Mo-. durinr the
week past. The object of his0 visit
East Is not known to the GENERAL nnh.
NC. IL may be that the gentlemen
composing the directory Of the last
named corporation have finally CON
ciuded to examine into the irregular
tiles claimed to have occurred during
me recent run of the ALGONQUIN mill
On Hranlte rock. 1t Ia alleged that as
much as fifteen dollars was stolen
Inc three hundred thousand
ounces of bullion cleaned no on chat
occasion. and If such is the case. MI.
PERKINS certainly should be guillo-
tlned. The report that an additional
miner had been put to work at the
Granite after close and dilioent in
curry, proves to be without any foun-
.alIon Whatever, in truth. I felt
from the 1rst that the assertion was
untrue, for l have 1t from high au.
thorlty. that without dispensing OF
great personal interests at q sacrifice,
It would be impossible for the stocks
holders to tolerate such
reckless extravagapces. L make
tins explanation in justice to
these gentlemen of whom it may lie
safely said that they never spent a
dollar in their lives, that duplicate
vouchers would not show where it
went. Several of those financiers
have visited US during recent years.
and defy anv man in Philipsburg
to 90 upon oath and swear that he
ever saw one Of them spend q dime
except for the barest necessaries of
life. Such being the case, it is
'ualiciously cruel to circulate any
such yarn as the one last above
noted, for should 1t gain public ere
dence, iJ might provoke another call
meeting of the Granite Board, and
from such a calamity may God pro-
tect us. As for the mine everything
about it goes we'll. Frank l.. Per-
kins, personally and officially is one
Of the hest officers of a corporate com>
many that l ever met in Montana.
His staff is COMPOSED of the very beat
material Such men a. Byron Bal
lard. Hey Paxton and John Ainslev
are without equals as mine and mill
men. and in conclusion 1 simply a.. |
sert that If Butte or Helena men |
owned the Granite Mountain mine !
Philipsburg in one year would have
a pnO,s1nfinn ~ 4 ran III mon n ans,ln l
and the country a mine capable of
prOducidg from q 20 STAMP mill, one |
and a half millions of dollars In sill.

SAN FRANCISCO.
This splendid mineral deposit, now
securely. ~intrenched between two per-
feet quartz walls, shows decided inn
provemement with every foot Of de-
velopment gained. The granite
horse previously noted) has been
c mEletely cut out and the header
three feet of solid ore with CLAW
on both walls. The entire
length Of ore shute presented bv the
tn date ia 100 feet, and. the as
aay throughout shows the rock to be
of q profitable milling character.

waste dump yesterday, upon inquiry.
I ascertained that at least 100 tons
of good rock had been careleasly

make it stick? NIOBRARA.
