Mining Notes.

Last week a new shaft was started in
the Mino mine, Amazon district, and the
steam hoist moved to it. Already the shaft
is down forty feet and some excellent ore is
being taken out.
A car of Columbia ore, Lowland district,
was shipped to the Parrot smelter in Butte
last week, says the Boulder Age, and it is
probable that regular shipments will be
made from this mine hereafter. Other
mines in that district will also begin ship
ping ore shortly.
During March and April last the Hotter
mine at Elkhorn produced bullion to the
amount of $7S, 252.54, while the working ex-
penses were $36 DBL 80. The estimated
value of the bullion shipped from the mine
during May was Sal 600, and of ore shipped
was $3, LEO, while the estimated expenses for
that month were So, 1870.
Jim Hathaway was in town last Friday,
and from here he went to the Lowland dis.
trict. where a company of which he is pres
ident is interested in the Silver Isle quartz
lode claim. A small force of men have
been employed on the mine, but this force
is to be largely increased and the lode de-
veloped as rapidly as possible. The stock
holders in the company think they have a
very fine prospect. Boulder Age.
Work is progressing on the Bluebird
mine. near Wickes. The shaft is down
about 225 feet and cross cutting has begun.
A dozen or fifteen men are engaged on the
work ond this number is to be increased as
room can be made for the men to work to
advantage. A. M. Esler has the mine under
bond, but it is understood that Chicago
man named Gates is furnishing the capital
for the development of the property.

Her Delightful Climate, Rich Mineral and
Agricultural Resources and I'M
precedented Growth.
Only two years ago Salt Lake City had
but 10000 inhabitants, three banks, about
ten miles of street car track. with old cars
and mule power, and few manufactures or
industries of any kind. To-day that city
has 6O,OO inhabitants, fifteen banks, seven
ty-five miles of the most modern electric
car service, 200 manufactures of sixty diff
ferent kinds, mills, smelters, refneries,
railroad shops chamber of commerce, real
estate and stock exchange, six and eight
story business blocks, six prosperous gold
and silver camps within few miles. and
inexhaustible supplies Of iron. copper and
lead ores, asphaitum. gypsum, marble,
alum. petroleum, natural gas, an abundance
of good coal, all kinds of building materia
and salt enough to supply the universe.
Remember this is no booming town, but
city of rapid, steady growth, and within
few years will have a population of 100,
OOO, with resources and business for half a
million. No other locality offers such grand
Inducements. and Salt Lake City ranks
-eminently as the first and best place
for Investment on the American continent,
and right now is the time to invest in that
city, as all property will reach fabulous fig
ures within the next five years.

THE MINES Of MONTANA.
Remarkably Rich Discovery OF Ga
lena on the East Side Of
Red Mountain.
The Great Tin Mines Of the Black
Hills, In North
Dakota.
Cross.Cuttinr ON the Milwaukee - The
Spring Gulch District-Mines In
Jefferson County.

One of the most remarkable discoveries
made in Montana in years occurred east OF
Red Mountain day before yesterday. The
country has been pretty we'll prospected
and contains some very good mines.
Among these are the Sallie Belle, Wander.
Nellie Grant, Frohner, and others of less
note. The discovery was made about l, 200
feet east of the east line Of the Sallie Belle
and about 1000 feet southwest OF the old
q. s. cabin, where Jim Frohner. the noted
prospector, was killed by George Brewer,
few years ago. The fortunate discoveries
were Dick Punches and Milt Barnhart, of
this city. They were camped near by the
find, and found in the first place only
small piece of float containing little ga
lena. The soil covered the bedrock
to a depth (, Of about s.. one one foot DOT
first run in hopes of finding the lead. or at
least more float, but none was discovered.
The prospectors then went about twenty
feet higher up the ridge and began to sink.
About at the first stroke large nugget of
galena was encountered. In an hours time
solid ledge of galena fully five feet in width,
between we'll defined and smooth granite
walls. A shaft was sunk on the ore six feet
deep and between seven and eight tons
taken out. The ore in the vein is said to be
entirely free from quartz. Four assays
made from samples brought to Helena gave
the following returns: $2,1S5.65, $50.87,
$23.4O, $17.4O.
The news of the strike created a good
deal of interest in the city. It was placed
on record yesterday and is called the Lo-
retta. It is located about fifteen miles south
Of Helena, on the dividing line between
Lewis and Clarke and jefferson counties.
The same parties discovered the western
extension of the Sallie Belle.

Venus, Queen Of Love.

In continuation of his custom of giving
the art-loving public of Helena rare treats
in foreign paintings, Mr.. August Fack, Of
the California Wine House, hung last
night the celebrated German painting by
Kuille, entitled Venus and Tannhauser.' .
The canvass is the largest ever stretched in
Helena and represents in touching colors
the famous parting of Venus, the Queen of
Love, and Tannhauser, the minstrel bard
of the Hartz mountains. Heine, in his
poems, and Tieck, in his romances, have
made this legend SO famous that the love
and aong of all days have fingered about
the famous couple. The painting is of the
free German school, full of poetic beauty
and fire. and has commanded in all parts Of
the United States high praise. The form
and face of Venus is of the ideal type-no
gross nor sensual maid of Athcns--and that
Of Tannhauser, a rugged troubador of the
woods and mountains. Tho subject has
been enhanced in beauty by treatment
from the point of view of the legendary
school

In speaking of the Spring Gulch district
in western Montana. the Ceur d'Alene
Miner says:
The ore in general is galena. but of a
higher grade than that found in. Ceur

first discoveries, except the Iron Mountain,
nave received the most work and every one
of them shows good ore. The King, Queen.
Keystone and Ivanhoe are owned by John

and Portland parties. Every one of them
has ore. Nine hundred feet of tunnel and
3O-foot shaft represents the development

taken from the Queen. The bulk of the
ore is galena. The properties are about
four miles from the new line of the Northern
Pacific railroad. which is almost completed
that far. A good wagon road covers the
distance. They have good shipping ore,
upon which they will realize as soon as the
cars begin running.
The Iron Mountain is about four miles
from the above properties. It employs
seventy miners and ships ten tons Of ore
daily. This is high grade galena ore. It
IS hauled by wagon twelve miles. Moth

A MINERAL PALACE.
Such an Institution Badly Needed in This
City.

Such an Institution Badly Needed in This
City.
Now that the chamber of commerce,
mining exchange and board of trade are
fully organized and ready for business, it
might be well to consider the question of a
mineral palace for Helena. No better
means of advertising the resources Of the
state could be imagined, if a creditable
building were erected and filled with min
erals and metals, rare curiosities in petrifi-
cations and aboriginalsand historical relics.
1t would be the best means of advertising
the city abroad that could be established.
The cost of such a building would not be
much, and as for material to fill it, this can
be secured for the asking, and of the finest
kind. Within year or two the value of
the collection obtained would be worth
ground upon which it was built. The diff
ferent rooms could be lined with cabinets,
each room devoted to special purpose.
One for gold ores. another for silver, COP
per, coal, iron and all the varied minerals
and metals of the state, SO arranged that
anyone could not fail to be impressed With
the richness and abundance of the re-
sources of Montana. it would be source
Of pride to the old-timer and tenderfoot
alike to exhibit such & collection to friends
and visitors. In several places they have
mineral palaces that have done more to
make the town known than all other in
fluences combined. It can be made one of
the noted places in the state. to be seen and
commented upon and talked of By every
visitor. Such an institution ought to be
established here by all means. The sub
ject has been mentioned before in these
columns and was favorably re-
ceiyed by all classes of citizens.
What is now needed is for two or
three energetic young men to take the
matter in hand and collect sufficient sum
Of money by subscription for the purpose.
lot can no doubt be secured from the
school board and the only expense will be
the building and cabinets for specimens.
building suitable for the purpose can be
erected at a small expense, with room suf-
ticient for the state historical society, if
desirable. Thousands of tourists are
travelling through the state who have not
the time to obtain the remotest idea of tho
mineral resources of Montana. but with
such an institution they can readily gain
a fund of information and knowledge that
can be obtained in no other way, and the
Helena mineral palace would soon become
as noted in its way as the National park
and the Hotel Broadwater.

The lessees of the Milwaukee are still
sinking the shaft on that property, says the
Butte Miner, depth of 1872 feet having
been attained. When the 190-foot mark
has been reached, cross-cuts will be driven
north and south to tap the veins. The bot
tom of the shaft is now in hard granite
the lodges, or at least one of them, having
pitched south from the perpendicular. The
company has already received few hun
dred dollars royalty on the ore taken from
the upper levels, and expects to receive
many more in the future. The ledge at a
depth of 1870 feet will undoubtedly be more
solid and contain higher grade of ore
than that found above, as the depth will be

Dakota Tin Mines.

Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, was
in Chicago the other day. He has recently
visited tho Dakota tin mines and last even
ing gave an interesting account of their de-
velopment to reporter of the Tribune.
Said he: Enough tin will be produced in
Dakota next year to supply the entire
United States. One company alone-the
Harvey Park-has expended $1,000, 600 on
its mines. More than 1000 men are now at
work on a branch of the Chicago, Burling-
ton d Quincy road into the mine region.
The Harvey Park company is build
ing number of small railroad lines
trail place and any amount of money is
available for other improvements as they
may be needed. After the work of getting
out the tin begins on a large scale the Har-
ney Park company will put 1900 tons on
the market annually.
tanned in Dakota was invented by the
owners of the Eta mines. who for years
have been denouncing the Black Hills tin.
These men attempted to buy all the tin
mines in Dakota, but found it too
mar 10Th, an sant undertaking: Failing in
in this country. These people we're act
ing in self protection. The owners of the
Etta mines in Dakota control the tinplete
of the world: They own the mines at the
straits of Malacca, where 5000 tons
are produced yearly. More metal is
worked there than in any other place in the
world. The work is done by coolie labor.
The tin is shipped to England. About
5000 tons are obtained at Cornwall, where
the mines are also owned by the Eta syn
dictate. As these men have a monopoly of
the business it is for their interest to dis
courage any attempt to produce tin here.
When tin was discovered in Peru this big
syndicate bought up all the mines and then
at a profit. But their scheme won't work
IN the United States, and in year they
will have lost most of their trade with
America. Black Hills tin has been long
time coming to the front, but success is at
hand now,"
