Chinook Opinion: The first ton Of gold
ore taken out Of the Little Rockies was
brought in Tuesday by Geo. Manning and
Pike Landusky, two old time miners who
have for a. number Of years been engaged in
placer mining in the Little Rockies. They
discovered several good leads Of gold
bearing quartz, and for the last month
have been taking out ore. They sent
samples to Maiden and the assay returned
SS?6.?1 to the ton. The ore to the
amount of =, 200 pounds was sent to the
Great Falls smelling and reducing works
yesterday. Mr.. Manning going up with it.
We are more than ever convinced Of the
richness Of the mountains in our vicinity
and at no distant day the Little Rockies
and Bear Paws will be good mining fields.
