HARVEY DISTRICT,

John NJ. Long, the we!l-known mining
man Of Butte and Philipsburg, arrived
in town Friday evening from Harvey
district, about thirty miles from, where
he is developing some properties. Mr..
Long reports that district as likely to
become one OF the most prominent in
the territory. The various mining loca-
tions show up exceedingly we'll, though
little work has been done Oh any of them
Gold is by far the prevailing metal of the
district, and the ore contains little silver
or copper. The country is extremely
rugged and mountainous and has all the
indications of rich mining region. The
beauty of the district, according to our
friend, is indeed remarkable. It will be
necessary for considerable road building
to be done before any very heavy work
can be prosecuted. While but thirty
miles from here in direct line, it re-
quires about twice that amount of travel
before it can be reached, going by rail as
far as Bonita, (about midway betweed
Drummond and Missoula) and thence on
horseback about fifteen miles in
southerly direction to the mines. Mr..
Long left Sunday morning for Butte,
where he will remain a few days and
then return to the scene of his labors.

GRANITE MOUNTAIN.

The output for the week ending Oc-
tober II, was 40 bars of bullion, con-
tanning 63,4O1.37 ounces silver and 1924
ounces gold.
The railroad is now completed to the
new Granite Mountain millsite and the
hauling of timbers and material for the
structure has commenced. Sixty-four
carloads of the t1mbers have been framed
in the Philipsburg yards and are now
being loaded and shipped to the millsite.
It will not be long before the building
will make its appearance on the ground.
A force OF carpenters and millwrights are
already busily engaged, and Rumsey is
now numbered among the notable camps
in Flint Creek district. It being one Of
the handsomest sites for town in this
section, it is certain to gain quite a
population in a short time. The little
town was all astlr Monday when the first
locomotive reached it, ard several bottles
of extra dry were broken over the head
of the cow-catcher.
Through the courtesy OF Mr.. J. T.
Field, the secretary, says the Financial
aud Mining Record of New York, We are
able to give the product of this great
mine for the eight months ending Aug
ust 81:

DORA THORNE.

The Dora Thorne company commenced
sinking on the Little Turf last Tuesday,
and the prospects arc very f1attering.
Tho force of men has been increased and
the work will be pushed ahead with all
possible energy. All the mon have been
busily engaged for the past few weeks in
burning charcoal and putting up build
ings. A blacksmith shop is among the
number of new structures This COM
pany's stock is all pooled, consequently
no advantage can be taken of the out
side stockholders. The stock is selling
rapidly, and We expect soon to hear good
result from the workings.

Work is again resumed in the shaft
and once more the valuable ore is being
hoisted and everything is working well.
The new machinery is very satisfactory.
The hosting works ;re now in mucn
better shape than befo the advent of
the Obstructive fire which burned every
thing to the ground last July. The full
force of men is not at work yet, but
more will be put on as needed, and it is
thought a larger force will be employed
in the shaft than ever before.

Blame will give you Noah Websterian
definition of this word. Here he cited
his explanation. and said when a fellow
is trying to get his hand into your pocket
he is very averse to any Interference.
Here he alluded to Mr.. Carnegies order
Of fifteen per cent. reduction at hia
great works just previous to his depar-
ture for Europe, made for partisan pollti-
cal effect during the pendence of the
discussion of the Mills bill. Is the coal
miners in Pennsylvania who get IS cents

detectives. (Applause.) Some of you
probably know something about this,
and you may have found your way to
this country through the inducement of
such protection. Great applause.)

Go ask the thousands of half-clad shiver
Ing poor all along the Atlantic seaboard

because these great corporations own all
the coal fields and the railways leading

rlchment protection shuts out English
coal. (These references were greeted
with rapturous applause.)
The silver and copper and lead features
were then treated. A refersnce to the
timber question was pertinent and ap-
propriate, and then an eloquent alluslon
to Montana's claim for statehood closed
the address.
A fight, which is likely to prove fatal to
a man named Johnson, occurred Tues
day evening in front of Carey's saloon.
Champ. Nesbitt, who is connected with

fellow out and johnson interfered,
whereupon Nesbitt picked up rock and
threw it at johnson, striking him in the
back. johnson then showed fight, and
Nesbltt threw two more rocks at him,
one OF which took effect just back of the
left temple, making an ugly cut end
fracturing the skull. johnson was
taken to Dr. Labrie's office, where his

we learn that the new find made by Ben.
johnson and John Davis is all or moro

the location soon after the discovery and
was delighted to see such valuable pros

and the space between the walls is six
feet and it is brim full of gold quartz that
is astonishingly rich IN free gold. The
quartz is in chunks embedded in a de-
rock from which fine gold Is
taken by panning. He is confident that
with hand mortar he can take out seven
or eight dollars per day easily, and coin
cides with Mr.. johnson that the lead Is
one of the principal sources from whence
the rich deposits of Thompson gulch were
