Pat Hughes Locates a Large Deposit Of Car
Donate Ores Finding Gold Dust in
Placer Gulch



Until of late little has been known Of
the rich ores of Dry Wolf, although it
is an old mining camp, having been dis
covered in 1850 by Highly and Pierce
and Wild River Bill. one of the far
famed prospect ors of the west. The
Highly and Pierce lode was the first
discovery made there. and consider
able development has since been made.
II is situated on the east side Of Lion
eulch, tributary OF Dry Wolf creek;
is in limestone formation and has an
ore body three feet i'm thickness, of
high-grade carbonate and galena. A
working test OF IL tons yielded 40
ounces of silver and go per cent lead.
At present there is a force OF four men
at work and about 80 tons OF ore ON
the dump. Preparations are now be-
ing made to ship ore to the Great
Falls smelter as soon as transporta-
tion can he secured.
There are 40 80 prospectors in
the camp and rich discoveries are daily
reported. Among the most prominent
are the Manitoba and Walter sutton
leads. located by $. II. Sutton and p.

1000 feet south OF the Highly and
Pierce, and are one of the largest de
posits OF carbonate ore ever found in
the Belt mOunta aims. AT n depth OF )
feet they have solid face of ore seven
feet high.
On the north end of the ore belt is
also new discovery, made by Ross
brothers and Charles Mix OF stanford.
The body OF ore is three feet in thick
ness, OF hich-grade hard carbonate and
galena. II is the intention OF the own
ers to run an incline shaft at least 500
feet before the snow ilies.
VIM. IIackshaw has made a good
discovery OF carbonate ore about three
feet in thickness, and although as yet
little development is done it is one Of
the best defined leads in the camp.

made quite a number of locations. all
of which carry galena and carbonate.
