Tho West Granite deal is still the
prominent topic Of conversation among

IS little question but that the deal is

may cause so:1.o delay in operations By
his injunction proceedings against the
transfer Of the property to the syndicate,
but the general Impression is that further
than this his opposition will amount to
but little. His representation Of shares
In the West Granite IS so meager as to
be hardly noticeable when compared
with the $4,000 shares Of the stock
represented at the meeting in Helena.
The members of the syndicate appear
but little affected by the threats of Co.

transfer may be made without delay, the
officers elected and the new company
get to work on thoir property imme-

begin operations by sinking shaft On

Bl-METALiIC.
In our last Issue we briefly described
trip through the Granite Mountain
company's mill at Rumsey. This week
we had the pleasure of being shown
through the Bi-Metallic mill at lark, in
company with Mr.. o. A. Tibbetts, and
while it contains forty stamps less than
the former it is at the same time more
thoroughly equipped in most every par
tlcular for successful and continued
operations. An explanation of the work
1ngs and machinery is unnecessary, as it
is the same as that described last week.
only on a trlae smaller scale. The ore
bins are continually filed with ore, and
every precautlon is taken to avoid any
delay in the mills workings. We are in
formed that two more pans and one
more settler are to be put in at once, and
the cooling floor is to be extended IS
feet. It is also the intention of tnat
wealthy company to put fifty additional
stamps in motion in course of time and
then it will be the largest mill Of its
kind in the world. The output from the
mine could easily supply this number
now, if they had them, and it is thought
they will be put in before the close of
the present year. The large storeroom
with extra supplies Of everything for the
mill seems to be a wise precaution and
it's stock is continually looked after by
man whose duty it is to see that nothing
IS neglected or allowed to run out of
stock. The fire department IS one of tie
oest i'll the territory. The men are called

THE RATTLESNAKE LEASE

On the 10Th of last November, Messrs
Godfrey, Roberts & Julyan obtained q
lease On the Rattlesnake tunnel of the
West Granite for term of one year
and the conditions held that the lease
was not transferable and should not be
sub-let. It now transpires that Roberts
and Julyan did transfer their part of the
lease to Messrs. Cain & Thibault with
out the consent of Godfrey, and Cain &
Thibault afterwards employed Roberts
and Julyan as miners to work the prop
erty. The climax was reached last week
when Godfrey discovered that a recent
shipment of q, $50 pounds Of ore to the
Helena and Livingston, smelling and re-
duction works went in the names Of
Cain & Thibault and he Godfrey was
left out entirely. This somewhat
angered Godfrey and he went back to
the tunnel and demanded an explana-
ton from his supposed partners. This
they refused to give and hot discussion
arose, during which Roberts threatened
the life of Godfrey and Godfrey swore
out warrant for his arrest. Yesterday
Roberts was bound over in bonds Of
500 to keep the peace, and now God
frey says he will sue Cain & Thibault
for his share OF the proceeds from the
shipment of ore, which has also been at
tached by Wilson Bros. Cain & Ihi-
bault evidently bought the lease to get
even with the men for goods furnished
them and did not know the circumstan-
ces connected with the lease or leasers.
the whole affair will soon be ventilated
in the courts.

Messrs. Carlson and Cummings have

The Red Lion company started their

The Southern Cross continues to im-
prove as the development work goes on.
The shaft is now down $50 feet, with a
level run east 80 feet and a crosscut so
feet, with no wall. The west level is in
100 feet and crosscut about 35 feet. This
level shows ore of an average width of
20 feet, which will run about S12 in gold
to the ton. Owing to the bad air in the
bottom of the shaft, the men were
obliged to come up IS feet, where they
are now running level.
The Gable company have shut down

again this summer.

races were quite interesting and good
deal of betting was done. Jack Halls

the saloon of Reynolds Il Harris through

and that of Evans & Co., and tapped the

o'clock in the morning and left the days

ing it would be all right. This was tho
first time, however, that so large an
had been left there, and it seems
the perpetrators were we'll aware of the |
fact. Dir. Reynolds has an idea who the
offenders are, and they will probably be
arrested before many days have passed.
