A WORLD OF RICH ORE FOUND
Late Operations Have Proved the
MONDAY to Be Worth at
Least 100000.

left a fortune in embryo, only to accep
~ contract i'll partnership with Nj. Janse
to build fifteen miles of railroad run
ming from Mullan east
Having just completed their contract
Mr. Mclean, with nerve characteristic
of Charles Hussey, concluded to "blov
in" what he lad rounded up" on hi
railroad contract ON his claim, tn,
Grouse, which had held out such iiatter
ing Inducements when last seen.
Active preparations were at once be-
gun and forty men are now on the pay
roll, with the chances good to increase
1t to 200 before spring. An air com
pressor and all the machinery necessary
TO equip a iirst-class mine, have been or
dered, and are expected to be on the
ground in two weeks. a concentrator
Is also to be erected.

A world of ore has been encountered
on the Grouse in the short space ot two
weeks that the late development work
has been In progress, and Mr.. Mclean
justly deserves the good luck OF seeing
the fortune ho left little less than O
year ago developing into such huge
proportions in so short II time. He pos
sesses that happy combination so rcqui-
site in this as wcll as all mining camps
much nerve and some money.
As an illustration ofthis animation
the REVIEW reporter will cite true in
cident. Between the Grouse aud Morn
Ing claims lay small fraction called
the MONDAY, which was owned by two
gentlemen in Mullan, whose names need
not be mentioned, both of whom pos
scssed u sufficient amount OF the first
ingredient of this very necessary com
pound, but none OF the latter.
Mclean wanted that traction, and
concluded 10 make an offer OF 500 for it,
which vas accepted. lie then sent n
man to do the assessment work, which
made the fraction cost HIM $500. Pres
entity he commenced sinking shaft on
II, and at the depth OF eight feet from
the grass roots encountered vein oi
solid gnlena,
At the present depth-twenty. five feet
the vein extends across the bottom OF
the shaft, with every indication that II
has an incline Of fUrty-iivc degrees.
What its breadth will be on the other
side of the earth, should Mr.. Mclean
follow 1t SO far i- Il mathematical prob.
lem of no small proportions.
The foregoing statement can be veri-
fled by coming To Mullan by rail and rid
ing a Cavuse for two miles over an easy
grade road northwest.
Computing Charles Husseys mine,

about the size of il--what is this irac-
ton of u few hundred feet which has

To the west, and abutting the Grouse
claim, is the Iron Crown, The Morning
Is stupendous, the Grouse Is immense,
the noon day ructlon is great, and the
Iron Crown is u sumner.
This claim Las attracted the lions
share of attention during the past week,
on account of an iliimItable IL body OF ore
having been struck. or what appears to
be such. The new lind is near the east
line, and is supposed to he on the same
vein which crosses tho Morning claim
and runs parallel with the Grouse. Tho
deposit is ut rare richness.
To tho northeast, and abuttlng the
Morning, lie the Evening, the lndepen-
dent aud Gettysburg, all OF which
are first class properties the latter in
particular and II ls surprising that no
man has yet been found with nerve and
money enough to develop it, for just SO

Abutting, and still further to the
north, lies the Paymaster. IL has not

it, showed 500, 900 better in a single

The strike was made near the west
line of the famous Hunter claim, both
of which properties belong to the Gold
Hunter Mining and NJ illiuR Company.
The Dandy, the northwest corner of
which abuts the Hunter, Is being
worked and is looking fine. The before
mentioned group of mines, and many

writer does not know, are MS tine prop

United States and sure OF fabulous re-
turns to those who have the good fortune
to own them and nerve enough to de-
yelop them.
The Montana side of the summit, in
the vicinity of Little Park, distant about
twelve miles from Mullan. has added
much to the excitement caused by the
numerous rich strikes made hcreabouts.
During last week while grading for the
Northern Pacific railroad some laborers
unearthed six-inch vein OF gaiena ore
