AT BLACKFOOT.

Charles Taylor, who visited the capital
recently from Blackfoot, Deer Lodge
county, where he is interested in mines,
according to the Journal, says prospect
ing in that vic1rity is unusually active,
and many new men are coming into the
district. MT. Taylor and his partner,
James Hanson, have been prospecting in
the Blackfoot for nearly a year and have
at last struck something which they Eope
is rich. Their find is situated at the
head of Jefferson gulch and consists of a
strong vein carrying a six-inch pay
streak of free milling gold ore, which
averages ST. 500 to the ton. The vein is
something like what is known as blan-
ket vein, having dip of only twenty de-
grees from the horizontal. The strike is
northwest and southeast. The vein has
been stripped along its outcrop for dis
tance of 800 feet and sunk upon with
shallow inclines, which as yet have at
tanned no depth, but the indications are
that the vein will widen with depth and
continue strong. The location of the
find is far enough above water level to
prevent ali fear that the character of the
ore Will change from free milling to base.
NJ essrs. Taylor and Hanson have leased
the old Mcclellan 1O-stamp mill and
will begin at once to treat their ore.

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., Aug. Ia
The announcement that the Red Lake

people from Wisconsin, Dakota, and the
adjoining Minnesota counties to SQUAT

Beef for Hot Blood.

The idea is beginning to gain vogue
with others who have never considered
the subject in the light that the vegeta-
rians do, that our diet is altogether too
strong in the matter of the more heat
ing meats; so much is this the case
that it is maintained that mild wines
do really less harm to the general sys-
tenn than flesh that is loaded with red
blood. This strong meat, such, for in
stance, as beef, the eating of which, it
is said, frequently generates too hot
blood, gives us our reckless activity,
our intensity and many Of our new
diseases White meats, vegetables, oils
and fruits, in long tried use among the
ancients, are in this view safer and
wholesomer diet than that which we
have so long considered the best to be
had.-Harper's Bazar.

GEORGETOWN MINES.

The Red Lion is putting in an engine.
The machinery is all on the ground.
They expect to be running in full blast
in four weeks time. They are adding
five more stamps to the five they already
have. They are working about twenty
men at present.
The properties owned by the Diamond
Mining and Milling company are looking
we'll, and work is being prosecuted Wig
orously. They will put on four addition
al men this week. Work is now being
done on the Golden Treasure claim and
a marked improvement is noticeable as
it progresses. The Diamond claim will
started on next week, which is owned by
the same company, and prospecting will
also begin on their third claim, the Crys-
tai.
The Golden Gate is looking fine. They
will continue sinking until the 3GO-foot
level is reached, and then will commence
crosscutting to the main vein. In sink
ing they cut through free milling vein
of gold ore. This, however, is not con-
sidered the main vein, which they ex-
pect to reach when they gain the above
depth. It is supposed to he the Cable
vein.
The Cable is running steadily on good
ore and will likely do so for some time.
They have stopped prospecting with the
drill, as they have ore enough
in sight to run for some time to come.
On the Southern Cross work is con-
tinuing about the same. The building
for the mill is about completed, and they
are now shingling it. The machinery is
all ordered, and the principal portion is
already on the ground, including the
shafting and battery, and the remainder
IS expected at almost any time There
IS plenty of good ore in sight in tho

of this character of ore has been unveiled

Northwest Harvest ReDorts.

ST. PAUL, Aug. l2.-The Pioneer

Wheat harvesting is now general
throughout the Northwest. In South
ern Minnesota and South Dakota the
grain is practically all taken care of,
and threshing is under way at many
points. In the middle section, and all
the way from st. Paul to Breckenridge.
the wheat is in the stack; in the Red
river valley and the more northern
counties the farmers are cutting their
grain. The returns that have come in
from the sections where threshing is
under way are almost uniformly favora-
bic, and indicate larger crop than has
been anticipated, while at the same time
the berry as a rule will take the No. !
grades.

DIPS. SPURS AND ANGLES.

It is said that there Is now on the
dump of the Iron Mountain company's
ground $4,000 worth of shipping ore
worth over 500 per top. Last week, ac-
cording to General Manager Pardee, the
crosscut tunnel cut the vein at a depth
OF $50 feet, and the latest report is that
the ore body is four feet wide and of
high grade.
The Pyrenees company. in the George
town district, have shut down their mill
and discharged all their men except the
miners. The object in their so doing is
but little known. 1t is stated that they
have an abundance of orc in sight at
their present diggings. We are inform
ed that they intend sinking another
shaft in the vicinity of the old one, and
the mill will probably stand idle until
they have explored this ground. About
50 men have been laid off.
The Champion mining company, says
the Times, has bought the Nelson ranch,
near the mouth of Peterson creek. and
will at once begin the erection of a 90
stamp mill, dry crusher, to treat their
ores. They expect to have the mill in
operation by the 1st of December. One
thousand tons of ore are now on the
dump, and by the time the mill is COM
pleted they will have enough mineral to
keep the mill going with capacity of
thirty tons per day for six months.
Jack Hartwell and Chas. Buckets ar
rived in town Tuesday, after being out
prospecting for five months, during
which time they have explored many Of
the undeveloped districts in Montana,
among which was the Clear Water, where
they made locations and opened up some
good bodies of ore that assay very good,
but not rich enough to justify mining at
present, as the nearest point to railroad
is hundred miles, and over rough coun-
try the entire distance. The Moose
Creek country is another Of like charac.
ter. They spent several weeks in that
found some good float, but
made slow progress, owing to the guam
titles of fallen timber that obstructs the
way. They renewed their pack outfit and
started for the Rock Creek district this
morning.
