What, IS. Being Done on
Them-A Live Place.
Special Correspondence Tribune.
THE BURNHAM M HTSA
Is now being worked by its owners, T. Il.
Hughes and Paris Gibson, by way of a
cross-cut tunnel, which will be run at
least 100 feet. The work is now in pro-
gress. The lead now shows a fine body
of high grade ore. The above gentlemen
have recently purchased the interest held
in the property by Mr.. A. Durham. The
sale was private, but inasmuch as Bnrn-
ham has already invested about $4,000, it
is surmised by the knowing ones that he
realized a snug sum. The
BLUE DICK
Mine, owned by the same gentlemen, is
now considered one of the greatest mines
in America. The mine is now being de-
veloped and at a distance of 70 fleet shows
one of the greatest gold bearing prosp ects
in Montana. This mine has a brilliant
future.
TEE BED ROCK LODE
Is being worked by a tunnel. This lead
is one of the most promising in the camp,
and work will be prosecuted uutil at least
a distance of 100 feet is attained, The
ore is rich and prospects well in wire
gold.
THE SILVER LAKE
Lead owned Tom. King, ct. al, is one of
the oldest locations in the camp, and
likewise one of the most promising.
1t shows a width of at least 40 feet across
the vein on the surface and can be traced
for a long distance. The owners have
another Comstock, if they stay with it.
THE RUBY LEAD,
Owned by James Huston, is a fine prop
erty. The shaft on this mine is down 40
feet; one level running in a northwesterly
direction 80 feet, and another level 100
feet in a southwesterly direction. The
pay streak in these levels is from four to
six feet in extent. Jim is an old resident
of Togo and we'll identified with the min
ing interests Of the camp.
THE NORTH STAR
Owned by Wilson s. Gend, has a tunnel
drove in. so feet on the lead, and an i'm
mense body of ore is uncovered. This
mine has evety'appearance of being . val
liable property.
THE wEATHEEwAS
Nine is still taking out ore. Mr.. Wealth
erwax has four men at work now, and
the force will be increased as soon as the
mill starts up again. Dir. ". has all con-
fidence in the world in the camp.
The mill formerly owned by Brown &
Davis, commenced work during the pres
ent week under the management Of j. D.
Weatherwax, and will work on ore from
his mine.
At a meeting of miners and property
owners held today, it was decided by an
unanimous vote to call the new town
Collins* in honor of I. f. Collins Of Fort
Benton. The name will be permanent,
thus throwing all former names into OBJ
livion.
A petition has been forwarded to Wash
ington asking for mail service between
Collins and Utica, It is badly needed.
Shelby It Sabbington are working their
mine, the Commodore Power, by means
of a tunnel. The lead shows a body of
ore 90, feet wide. assays from it show
$65.65 in gold and $3.50 in. silver. The
owners are highly elated over their bright
prospects.
Yogo is blessed by one lucky man. His
name is Badly F. Sucket, and he has just
discovered a lead neal Shelby's chop
house in Collins. Shelby is looking for a
dividend from it in the near future, but
the outlook is not Of the most favorable
character. sucket and his partner, Geo.
Howard, were formerly engaged in the
sheep business in the-Judith Basin.
Messrs. John. Berg and Abe Carter are
working on the same lead, and speak
highly of it. Abe is an old Black Hills
miner and is considered the best Judge of
quartz in the camp. x.
