MINING NOTES.

Some little excitement has taken place
ut Goldendale in the past few days about
some specimens of ore which have been
taken from the mountains near that city.
The output for the week ending May %
Of the Granite Mountain Mining company
was 81 bars of bullion, containing o., 2S4. 56
ounces fine silver u 60.55 ounces fine
gold.
Messrs. Jacobs and Armstrong, Of Muir
ray, Idaho, have examined the gold and
silver quartz that Is found near Lake
Whatcom, n pronounce II very rich in
deed, and they say they are satisfied that
quartz. both gold and silver, a be found
there In large and paying quantities.
The Mountain valley mines Mt the head
OF Butter creek,42 miles southwest of PEN
dleton, have produced rock at u depth of
only four feet that shows an assay of $BO.26
to the ton, principally gold. The country
has been prospected and mined for Goa
but the discovery OF precious ores was but
recently made. and may lead to grand re-
suits, says the East O,egonian.
The miners ore rushing in large numbers
toward Spring gulch and the Iron Noun
tain country. The heavy strikes made
in the Iron Mountain mine have caused a
number of abandoned claims 10 be re-
staked. Notices of location are being
filed thick and fast at the county clerks
office. On Wednesday eleven notices of
claim were filed. The snow is SO melted
that the prospector Is able to go about his
work with n considerable degree of safety
and IL looks as III the coming summer will
see the mineral resources Of Missoula
county brought before the people more
prominently than ever before. -Missou-

The Yellowstone Mining have
their new hoist in position and are busy
running levels preparatory to taking a
ore. Mr.. Gordon, the smelter man, is ex-
pccted soon, and ii Is proposed to start up
the company's smelter by June l at the
outside, and after this date the work of
will be prosecuted at the same time. II is
estimated that ore to keep the smelter
running and 30 ton for shipment by rail
can be supplied daily from this date for
an indefinate length of time.-Husbdnd-

The mining properties in the vicinity of
the Evening Star concentration are all
showing up well as far as any work is
done upon them. In the Metallic there
is a good showing of high grade galena
and carbonate, with native copper in
creasing i'm quantity. An ore shoot which
looks very fine was recently struck i'm the
Elephant. The Morning Dawn shows up
the richest gold ore ever seen in the dis
trict, and has a solid seven-foot vein. All
the leads which have been worked are
developing into mines. and the camp
promises to be one of the best i'm the
country.-Bouhfer Age.
Prof. II. L. Woliston. of Elkhorn, was in
town yesterday en- route to the Castle min
ing district. The Professor has retired
from the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Elkhorn
Queen mine. He reports that property as
looking very well. He shipped five cars
of ore from the mine which netted the
company n thousand dollars u car, and
there are about eight cars now ready for
shipment. He also stated that the Hotter
recently struck in the 1,0JO level a large
body OF h~igh-grade lead ore and that the
company is shipping n car q week to Hell
ena. Thomas Hollenbeck and Al. Sea-
man last week sold an interest in a lead
mine near the Elkhorn Queen for 81 ,5OO.
