bers the board of directors has OBJ
tanned tho assistance and influence
Of very important number of citi-
zens. There seems to bo general
feeling of rejoicing upon the part
of tho directors as to the assured
success of the exposition. Each in
vestigation shows the prospects to
be brighter than the most sanguine
hopes could have expected. 1t was
decided at this meeting TO extend
the work on even u grander scale
than the original plan. While the
board was In session encouraging
kilograms from several parts of the
country were received, and the meet
Ing was II very enthusiastic one.
More space than could DO offered
has been applied for; invited guests
are accepting their invitations more
freely than was expected, and the
progress on the building and the
arrangement of the exhibits, which
are already coming in, ia so well in
hand that Spokane Falls can now
rest assured that the long antici-
pated exposition will prove to be
from the very lst of October until
its close the grandest and most
credltable enterprise ever under
taken by this energetic city.

ALAS for Virginia City! The glory
that once was hers has departed forever.
Many there are who remember this town
in the height of its prosperity, the cen
ter of a region abounding in precious
metals; where rich strikes were made
every day and money flowed free as
water; where provisions were so high
hat as much was paid for a sack of flour
as would now suffice to keep an ordinary
sized family in that staple for an entire
year; when 2ambing-h houses were al
lowed full swing, and fortunes were
made and lost ON the turn of n card or a
wheel, and the town was full of healthy,
hearty, rough life. But of late years the
mines have failed to yield the rich rev.
enues which they once put forth, and
the town is being gradually deserted,
the census returns showing population
of 4, 800 less than 1t had ten years ago, a
decrease of almost one-half OF the entire
population.

THE Northern Pacific railway has very
generously agreed to transport free of
charge the car load of black bass intend
ed for Washington lakes. But when
these fish will have filed the lakes and
streams of the state the Northern Pacific
will make up for this generosity in the
train loads of Eastern anglers 1t will
carry here to fish for these scaly beau
ties. One good turn deserves another.

Indian Crock and Placer.

Indian Creek is another old camp that is
coming to the front. It is found that all the
wealth of that section was not contained in
the placers. Gold, galena and carbonates
are found in hundreds of leads and many
of them are being developed. It may very
appropriately be termed ga poor man. s
camp" that is, where leads are found that
pay the expense of development. In such
q camp the prospector stands nearly as good
a show as the millionaire. The money for
development is taken daily from the mine
and the ore finds ready market.
At Placer the leads are large
and contain immense quantities
of ore, which is nearly the same char
acter as that from Iron Mountain district
west of Missoula. With the same amount
of development it is believed there are a
number OF leads in the Placer district
which would equal anything found either
in the Bitter Root or Castle mountains.

A Great Iron Mine,

One of the largest iron mines in the
known world is lead or strata of mag
netic iron ore near Neihart, says the Hus-
bandman, that is twenty feet in width and
crops out of the ground for distance of
5000 feet. This immense ore body has
been analysed by San Francisco chemists
and found to contain rs per cent. of iron
and no base or refractory substances The
Neihart branch of the Belt Mountain rail-
way runs within two miles of this wonder
full deposit, and We would not be surprised
to see the property pass into the hands OF
an eastern corporation at any day, and an
immense iron mill established at Great
Falls or possibly on Belt creek near the
great mine.

The Mines Of KNOXVILLE Once More
Coming to the Front in
Good Shape.
Capital Alone Needed to Make the
Camp Ono Of Great Inn
po2tance.
Indian Greek and Placer-Upper Basin
per Market Looking Well.

There Is moro activity in mining than
ever before known in the history of Mon
tana. New finds are being daily recorded,
new camps discovered of excellent promise,
and nearly all development work is being
carried on in manner that insures success
wherever success is possible. Many old
camps are also coming to the front in q
manner that is truly surprising. Union
vile and the history of the Whitlatch
Union mine is 80 we'll known and has been
90 often mentioned that there are few men
who have been inMontana any length of time
but what have heard something of the
camp. Unionville, as mining camp, has
been practically dead for the past ten years.
The rich placers have been nearly all
worked out, the quartz mills have rusted
away for want Of use, and the shafts have
gone to rack and ruin for want of attention.
deserted mining camp could be found
in Montana until within short
now now taxing place ao there '. which Is
likely to make Unionville again famous for
the rich gold leads which are there. OF all
patented, but one has been worked to any
extent and that is the Whitlatoh Union:
The others have merely been scratched
over.
Developments now being made indicate
that the camp is to take on new lease of
life and resume its place as one OF the the rich
lode, lying north of the Whitlatch, is inn
proving right along. The cross-cut tunnel
struck the vein about two weeks ago and
drifts are now being run east and west on
the vein which is showing upwell. The ore
body, which is rich in gold, is seven feet in
width and the indications are that it is Of
great extent. Another strike is reported
west of the Owyhee claim on the Whitlatoh
Union. The ore body is said to be large
and rich. It was firmly believed years ago
that every foot of ground near Unionville
had been thoroughly prospected. but events
of the past few months prove this idea to
have been erroneous. The trouble with the
camp has been that interest died out. Cap
ital deserted it for what seemed to be more
promising fields, but it is the unqualified
opinion of we'll posted mining men that
there are great and good mines there yet to
be worked. Between Grizzly and Nelson
gulches there are many leads rich in gold,
that have never been worked to any extent.
Among these are the Pedro, Park, Doctor
Howe and others. With machinery and
capital for development they can all be
made to pay. This indispensable commod-
ity seems to be forthcoming and it will not
be long before old Unionville will again
resound with the stamps of the quartz mills
and be busy scene of activity, tho mines
pouring forth their wealth in generous
measure.

A meeting of the trustees of the Ben Kim

and it was decided to withdraw all stock ex-

vanoed to ten cents. This action was taken
because of the increasing richness and
width of the vein as the tunnel progresses,
and for the further reason that the COM
pany has capital in hand for working the
mine. The mine is cheaply worked and not
much capital is needed.
