UP On Ten Mile.

Some Of the best ore ever found in the
Crescent is now being extracted from that
property. Fully dozen mines on Ten
Mile are now steady producers. the mines
in the vicinity of Red Mountain and Rim
mi being the principal producers. Among
the list are the North Pacific, Eureka,
Sallie Belle, and at the head of Cataract
are the Ida May and Crescent. The Enter
prise, Buckeye and Josephine in the Upper
Basin district, and the Monarch and On
tario, above Rimini. The entire section is
improving with development. Two men
who have leased the Lady Lieth are report
in the north tunnel within the past week.
This section is directly tributary to Helena
and its success as mineral producer is
therefore of the most interest.
