Reports Of Rich Strikes, IeV Prospects
and General IIuin6 News.

The Gold Mountain Mining and Milling
company has beer Incorporated with q
capital OF 100000 and headquarters nj
Moscow, Idaho.
Regular shipments Of ore from the Spot.
ted Horse are now being made from
Maiden TO the Great Falls smelter, via
Fort Benton. The arrangement which
"A resulted in resumption of work at the
mine Is not made public.
II Is generally known that an English
syndicate has an option on nearly all the
best central Wyoming oil lands, which ex-
pires Don II Is said that the money will
he paid and the land purchased. The next
move will be a pipe line from the lands to
Omaha or Denver.
Considerable excitement has been
caused In Silverton, Colorado, by the dis
covery OF coal about a mile and a half up
Cement creek. The specimens brought 20
town are eight inches thick, hut the To-
Gators claim that they nave thirty feet.
The coal has beer tested and is pro-
nounced OF n good quality.
A new mining district has been Opened
thirty miles south of Grand Junction. Col
orado. that promises well. A carload of
ore shipped to Pueblo yielded, over and
above all expenses, enough to pay the en-
tire expenses of sinking a 50-foot shaft.
The property shows three feet of min
eral. carrying go per cent. copper and 30
I'm silver. A force OF men will he at once
put ON and prospectors are beginning To
open other claims.
A lively fight for the possession of some
valuable Goa lands near Blairstown,
Wyoming, is in progress. The land was
filed upon January last by Mary A. Tay-
lor and Joseph Caller. Last week the
claim was jumped by Phelbrick, Melor d
CO., an Evanston firm, who claim that the
law has not been complied with i'm regard
to b development work by the first
owners. The mine will be n of the most
valuable In that region, and a big fight
Will he made by both claimants TO hold il.
A gold lode is being worked at Glouces-
ter, Rhode Island. Ii does not give much
promise OF paying any profits, as il is a
narrow vein, carrying n little good ore,
which appears only in spots, or small
pockets. Ii is apparently u fracture plane
in granite which is slightly mineralized.
Quite frequently n reads of mining for
precious metals i'm New England, particu-
larry in Maine, Vermont n Connecticut,
but excepting in Maine we believe no
mining is conducted at a profit. Gold
mining Is conducted at a profit, however,
in Maryland, Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Georgia.
In our issue of about two weeks ago we
noted the fact that a new mining district
had been found on Poison creek, i'm his
county, and that good ore had been found
in ono Of the lodes discovered, says the
Silver City. Idaho, Araianehe. Since then
we have seen several persons who have
been To that district, among whom were
II. w. Brown and II. Bruce. The lode is
about 16 feet in width, showing ore that
assays rs high as S3G4.24 in silver and
s2l. 10 in gold. The quartz is OF fine grain
n of "A green color, carrying some metal
lie silver. As yet little prospecting has
been done, but from the way prospectors
are Hooking in, the country will soon be
explored. There is no doubt that the |
mountins to the south of this new district
will show up other good lodes.
