The Livingston enterprise. [volume] (Livingston, Mont.) 1883-1914, 1890-06-07

y Hensley creek, about quarter of mil'
e from the Yellowstone, due north. Th'
) width OF the principal vein on which
r work has been done is thirty feet, and ;
t force of men are now engaged in sinking
D a shaft to it from the mountain side
The copper veins assay tifty-five per CEN
copper, thirty-five ounces of silver anc
' S. in gold to the ton. One tunnel has
l and the tunnels altogether aggregate
3 over 600 feet in length. The Silver Belt
Mining company also owns and operates
5 the Antelope, and adjoining and most
promising claim. With the amount OF
work done on the Silver Belt that the
| two principal mines have had, no better
will be known IN the country. The com
pany is stocked with 100000 shares, of
J the par value of S. each; 100000 of. this
is treasury stock, for development work
only. OF this company n. E. Benson is
president, E. P. Suydam secretary and
George Kreiger manager.
And now we reach the California,
whose stock is going upward hand over
hand, so confident are mining men of it's
greatness. A shaft has been sunk in a
vast body Of black manganese, and lev
els run in every direction without find
ing wall. This is worth S5 per ton as
f1ux, and is fortune in itself. Experts,
however, believe this to be only cap of
ore over an immense vein of rich silver
rock, and their theory is undou btedly
the result of careful study Of the vein,
for, on the mountain side below it, great
quantities of fine silver float lies scat
tered, which, when traced up, disappears
beneath this body of manganese, as it
were, and, when the vein OF this silver is
struck we predict for the California a
great fame as silver and lead pro-
ducer. The president of this company
is +. l.. Hensley; nccrotary. II. E. Ben
son; manager, f. P. Suydam. a now
Whiu has been put up, and large force
OF men are employed in the mine taking
out ore to be used as fluX at the Vel
lOWstOne smelter.
| The Hidden Treasure, near by, is also
a great and famous mine, and it's ore has
paid the highest returns in silver of any
in the camp to the ton. This mine sold
few weeks ago for S12,5 800, was stocked
| by it's new owners and is high on the
road to fame.
just below Robinson lies the Silver
| Star and North Star claims, owned and
| operated by the Star Mining company,
OF which Martin Grande is president
and =. Peavey secretary. From the
amount Of development work done, these
| mines make as good showing as any in
the camp in silver and lead. The stock
of this company is 100000 shares, of the
par value of 81 each.
At Smiths Camp the Hodges Frac-
ton, an extension of the well-known
Black Hawk, the Big Mogul and Little
Mogul have recently been incorporated,
and are being worked by the Triumvir-
ate Mining company-presdent, n. B.
Smith; secretary, j. l.. Frazer: man
ager, e. G. Phillips This company is
incorporated with 100000 shares at 81
each, one fourth of which has been made
treasury stock for development work A
crew of men will be put to work shortly
to thoroughly develop these mines, when
it is expected big strike will be made,
such conclusion being warranted by
the present splendid showing. The ore
is lead, silver and iron manganese in
character.
The Judge, Black Warrior Legal Ten
der Alice and others of Smiths Camp
are too well known to require separate
descriptions. Suffice it to say that they
are we'll developed, all showing up Won
derful bodies Of paying ore and will
shine with brilliancy of the first mag
nitude in the galaxy of the Castle mines.
The American and Keystone mines,
situated southwest from Castle, are
looked upon as great silver deposits by
competent miners. The ores are selc-
ious quartz silver in character and assay
from 100 to 1900 ounces of the pure
white metal to the ton. Such ore will |
speak for itself in any country. These
mines are operated by separate com
panies, and stock in both is being eagerly |
bought The American company works
three claims, viz: the American, Collar
and Vera. Both companies have their
mnes undergoing development, and the
prospects are brilliant in the highest |
degree.
The Potomac mine, near the Cumber-
land, is another promising great ore. 1t |
is stocked in 100000 shares at 81 each,
with 100000 shares as treasury stock
Future developments on this mine are
looked for with interest.
Other notable claims which have been
stocked and which promise big money to
their owners are the Casino, Grand |
Central, Armada, Sherman, Merrimac,
Hampton, Little Dot and Others All |
of them are good claims, equally promis-
ing, and their owners are confident that |
they will yet rival the most famous in
Castle.
Another mine which deserves special
mention is the Kelly Fraction, adjoining
the Yellowstone, owned and operated by
the w. A. Kelly Mining company. Just
incorporated by w. A. Kelly, Henry J.
Griffin and William D. Gordon. with a
capital stock of 100000, in $4,000 shares
of the par value of 81 each A tunnel
has been run fifty-six feet, showing up a
sixfoot vein of fine ore. This is a great
and will work it's own saliva
ton. The stock Of this company will be
placed on the market in few days
And then | might go on and write for
a week, detailing few truths of the
Castle mines, for the truth is all-power-
full and must prevail; but he who has
read this can gain an idea, I trust, of the
Of the Castle mines and their
resources. If he doubts, let
him 60 to them, and his own eyesight
will prove the truth of these remarks.
To those who desire to invest in Cas-
tie stocks and have not the time to spare
to go themselves, we ask them to cor
respond with the mining and stock bro
kerage firms of L. Peavey or Benson &
Suydam, where they will be accorded
fair, honest treatment and by whom no
false representations will be made.
