DR.. Mitchell has purchased the quartz
claims formerly belonging to Abascal d Go.
and has five men employed on four claims.
He also has two men working on the Hap
paranda mine ION contract work driving a
tunnel into the mountain. The latter claim
is showing WE'LL they having struck new
ore chute farther in the mountain than any
of their previous workings, which looks
fine.
Tom Anderson is working on the Magone
and Anderson claims. He is taking out
good free milling ore, and has fine show
ing. DR.. Mitchell's property, which he re-
Gently purchased, adjoins Anderson's on the
SOUTH and one claim lies between Grant d

which belongs to himself and Henry Grant.
The McDermott and Minnie Palmer COM
pany properties were represented early in
the season. Next west is the Guaymas lode
on which Sam Ritchey is doing representa-
ton work. Still further west is the Washoe
district, distant two and one-half miles; in
that the Washoe claim, owned by j. +. Van
Gundy, has been represented, and showed
new vein of Goodlooking ore about foot
wide.
Warner and Chamberlain are working on
the Clemantha lode, and intend to continue
all winter. They worked about ten tons of
their ore in an arrastra at the north fork of
Elk creek, which satisfied them that it
would pay better than ranching. Shaug-
Massey and Martindale found q lode near the
above mentioned claims which shows a
large amount of galena and carries silver
and gold. It is fine showing for only a

klmber gulch, Park mining district, will
run 5OO-foot tunnel this winter. An open
cut has been run distance of thirty feet
and the tunnel proper will be commenced
next Monday. There is shaft upon the
lode sixty feet in depth. The proposed
tunnel will run along the lead until it
reaches point 200 feet from the surface
and directly beneath the present shaft.
when an uprise will be made connecting it
with the tunnel At the bottom of the
shaft there is II feet of high grade ore.
which shows the Vose to be magnificent
prospect.
Tho Little Bonanza is not shipping at
present. but the shaft is being sunk as rap
idly as possible. If the mine don't come to
the front soon it will not be Nate Vestal's
fault, for he is a rustler from away back.

Bradstreets report that Whitehead has
900 in book accounts and $4,000 in
stock. Several friends offered him assist
ance yesterday. and it is understood that
his affairs have been fixed up SO that no will
reopen his business tomorrow. His bonds
men will probably be ]. Greenwood and
Herman Cans. It is understood from other
sources that Mr.. Whitehend's stock will in-
voice $4,000, and that he has about 5000
in book accounts.
He started in business here in 1885 on
small scale, but being an active business
man his trade grew rapidly and he in
creased his stock until it was one of the
largest in the city. About year ago he
opened y branch house in Great Falls,
but he recently sold this out to
Philip H. kessler, who had been a
clerk in his Helena store for
several years. When Mr.. Whitehead
branched out on an extensive scale in the
furniture business he borrowed $4,000
from the Montana National bank on a first
mortgage. This he has paid up all but
g.. 400 The whole affair was unfortunate
as Mr.. Whitehead is considered solvent and
his friends will be pleased to learn that he
will be ready for business tomorrow at the
| old stand.
Mr.. WHITEHEAD was formerly in business
in Deadwood, S. D., and in New Mexico.
He first moved to Butte City and taen
moved to Helena.

As expected, the new tunnel in the Silver
Belle reached the body of rich ore on Mon
day, and now the entire face of the tunnel
is ore. II is reported that q hoist will be
erected at this mine in a short time.
In running winze from the main tunnel
in the May & Edna another large body of
fine orc was struck yesterday. The report
did not give particulars as to size Of the ore
body.
In representing the Treasury, the prop
orty of Williams, Boiling and tn. Seifred
estate, a six-inch streak of very rich sui
phuret ore was found. This claim lies just
above the Mix mine. of which it is an ex-
tension.
Ed Boiling came in from Running Wolf
last night, bringing with him fine
specimen Of hard carbonate ore. He says
he discovered it on the surface and thinks
he has made an important discovery, but
does not know the size or extent of the
lead.
The North Ontario company has a force
of men at work under the management of
w. R. Riggs sinking on the main lead q
shaft just below the shaft on the Ontario.
In sinking about nine feet they strucka
fourteen-inch vein of quartz which runs
from seventy five to ninety ounces of silver,
no lead and 81 in gold. A tunnel has been
run in nineteen feet ON spur of the lead
and eight inches of ore found, which runs
thirty ounces to the ton. The ore in both
tunnel and shaft is free concentrating.
