from Special Agent Welton to the letter OF
inquiry relative to the arrest OF certain In.

cases, he made complaint to District AT

the grounds that he did not think, II ar

could lie found that would report a true

A rather laughable mistake occurred in

ABOUT DUCHARME GULCH.
Some Excellent Zines Being Opened
Within a Few Miles Of the City.

Some Excellent Mines Being Opened
Within a Few Miles of the City.
A gentleman who visited Ducharme gulch
q few days ago gives it as his opinion that
the mines located there will soon prove to
be as rich as any yet discovered in this
vicinity. He says the showing made is ex.
~celleut, considering the amount OF develop.
ment OF which the mines can boast.
On the Maud s. a large amount of very
good ore is being taken out and piled on the
dump, pending q settlement between tie
owners of the ground and the railroad
company. The grade of the Northern Pa
cif1c & Montana runs through the ground
and between the workings OF the mine and
the foot of the mountain on which it is To-
Gated. Some Misunderstanding exists be-
tween the owners of the mine and the rail.
road company. As DOH as this is adjust
ed it is the intention of the gentlemen rum
ming the claim to build g. tramway from the
present workings to q point across the rail-
road track, and from there haul the ore by
wagon to one OF the smelters OF this city.
They claim that that mode OF transporta.
ton will prove much cheaper than shipping
by the railroad, the distance being but
three or four miles.
On the Queen, also, some good ore is be-
ing worked. The railroad grade crosses
the claim and O. cut recently made exposed
q vein, existence OF which was previously
not known. The cut is 40 feet deep and
indications point to a solid ore body
only a short distance below that depth.
Several other mines in close proximity to
the two named are being worked and with
unvarying good results, as attested by
large amounts of ore on the dumps.
