Bonanxas of That Camp.
NE1HART,sM. T., March 24.--tspeclai
corrasnondance of the Tribune. 1.-The
Colorado IA Rainbow leads owned by
Richard Brennan, P. H. Donavan and Chas.
RAIDER: the latter Of White sulphur
surings, AM properties that the owners
think 4 ereat deal Of and undoubtedly are
s,,ch AZ auarantee the expenditure of con-
siderablemoney. They are promising in
the extreme, and some very good assays
in silver, lead and gold have been had
from them A 80 foot shaft and tunnel
of 100 fest have been run on the lead.
The vein Is five feet wide. The owners
have great confidence in this lead, and
this Is specially true Of Dick Brennan, who
sees "millions in it."
Near the property above described is
the Comanche,, owned by Jas. Mari, Ed
Berg and M. @. Larkin. A rs foot tun-
mel has been run on the lead with salts
factory results, some very fine galena
having been taken out. This mine can
be tapped at depth Of 700 feet by tun-
nell
The Silver Reef and Butte, owned by
Pat Foley, are indeed promising pros
pects A shaft Of 100 feet has been sunk
on the lead, showing vein OF six feet,
with some very fine galena ore: ABOUT
100 tons IF goDd ore has been taken from
this shaft wkich runs we'll in silver and
lead. There il no doubt but further de-
velopment will show this to be valua
Near by3is the Silver King, owned by
H. d. IBuighardt and Charles Burchard,
which II dlpeloped by shaft Of 81 feet.
Sometas a. galena has been taken from
this shafexas the camp produces. This
lode il bstter known as the old Hughes
and DeLofier ground.
Adjacent to this lies the Silver Queen,
owned by B. s.. Fitzpatrick, Pat Foley and
Great Falls parties. 1t is developed by
3Ofoot shaft which shows fine vein Of |
ore. A tunnel go feet in length has also
been run On1 the lead making a good, |
showing. Ills the belief Of those who |
have seen this prospect that some money |
expended upon it would develop a |
The Spotted Horse, owned by William
Muller, Tat Boyle and others, is a very
of 60 feet and shows vein Of five feet, |
witha splendid carbonate pay streak. |
This mine yields fine smelling ore and |
runs we'll ia silver and lead. The extern
SION he Graymore, is also good prop
ertys Ii developed by shaft of 40
feetRnd shows good vein with fine car
Donate ore. Some day these properties
will be very valuable, if present indica-
tiOnB count for anything.
Near them Is the John L, owned by |
Hugh Stevens, Dan Buchanan and others.
It's developed by a shaft of go feet,
showing good carbonate vein.
The Bank Of Montana and Lorraine,
owned by Larry Neihart and Charles
Crawford have every indication from sur
face prospects of being fine property.
These leadsAare located by themselves,
as it were, Ina section that has not yet
been nuchsworked. The vein crops out
about 10 feet from the ground and OK
posesa 20 foot lead.
Some mention has been made of the
Monarch IA your paper but justice was
not done the7tproperty. The Monarch is
owned by Larry Neihart, Dune Melon
aid and Dune MCGOWAN, and is situated
down Belt creek about three-quarters of
milesfr0m the town of Neihart. The
mine he tapped on the creek bottom
at 8 d6pth of 1000 feet. It is certainly
bonag1dn sight I do not propose to ex-
agGSiS 3n the least.in describing this or
alaY property, but will simply state
the aCE A tunnel of 100 feet on the
lead taps this mine. In running the last
70 f0et four feet Of good ore were taken
outin mining. Work is being pushed
without cessation. A cross cut is now be-
ms made at the face of the tunnel to in
tekcapt a vein which rises out as it were,
iromfthe one on which work is being
done: II is supposed that when this
ysin - reached fine body Of ore will be
found equal if not larger than the other,
asSthe surface indications are stronger,
Coming back to the mouth Of the tunnel
ron will be confronted with foot and a
~ lf VI ore that runs 800 in silver to the
DcIll and two and half feet not so rich
ASSsolid pay streak Of four feet
Managing over $50, and at the same
Running high in lead. No one who
tands the mining business can say
else but this is a bonanza in sight.
fye is not the least doubt but that this
with some more at work, will pro-
Ay1ce daily, if desired, 200 tons Of ore a Il
Truly 1t is wonderful property
will be wonderful producer in
lA0Sta time. Such mines are certain to
t0t the attention of capitalists.
