AAhAAAS1 A4V0 luC OuCcI FAMOUS
camp OF Virginia City, Montana, was
recently sold to S. H. ramsey, an Ala
bama capitalist. for $40, 900, by Deyarman
q Thexton. The sale will doubtless
result in the introduction of capital
INTO the camp for the development OF it's
leading mining interests.
The Helena Mining and Reduction Com
pany declared another dividend on the Sd
OF September of $26,527.64 on the pro-
duction OF their works at Wickes, which
shows h a the Alta, the Comet, and
other mines of the company are amorg
the best and most valuable in the Terri
tory.
A syndicate OF Connecticut capitalists,
who have been developing the Mollie Nc
Gregor aud Adolphus leads, in the Boulder
district, by extensive improvements. has
this day received an extension of the bond,
which will take effect on the first of next
January of S65, 900. The company has
expended $4S 5000 in a shaft of 21O feet,
levels, concentration and hosting works.
This valuable property is located about
two and a hall miles from Captain Cooks
old place, at the foot Of the Boulder divide,
and about one mile south of the Rumley
and Comet mines, on Boomerang gulch.
The owners OF the property are A. G..
Clarke, Chas. D. Curtis, james p. Porter,
John B. Taylor, James K. Boyce, Jr., and
John II. Curtis OF Butte.
The amount of money expended by the
syndicate, which is incorporated under the
laws of Connecticut as the McGregor Mining
Company, insures the sale, and the owners
may consider the dicker as so much money
in their pockets. The company is to be
congratulated upon securing such a valu-
able property.-Hclena Independant.
A gentleman just from the Sweet Grass
mines, informs the Anaconda Gazette that
he considers them the greatest blk yet dis
covered. He thinks that fully $4,000
worth Of work has been done in sinking
shafts and running drain bitches, with but
precious little to show for the outlay. Tim
Der for mining purposes has to be trans
ported eight and ten miles. While water is
not plentiful, he thinks the supply sufficient
the demand that will be made upon it.
The only thing that is badly needed is good
paying dirt. He worked five days and had
hard work to produce a color. Fully forty
men are in the hills prospecting and wait
ing for something to turn up. At present
have plenty OF ''grub," lots of leisure
and brilliant expectations, but he thinks
that before winter sets in they will be short
OF everything but an APPETITE and a desire
to get away from the hills. About go horses
lave been stolen from the miners during |
the past few weeks, which leaves many of
them without means of transportation.
