Jefferson County Mines.

George Benjamin is in from his big iron
mine, the Montana Central, above Elkhorn,
n reports everything moving along nice
there. He recently shipped a hundred
tons of ore to the East Helena smelter to test
as a tux, and has just received information
that it is very satisfactory and to continue
shipping. The mine is a great one, the
vein being twenty-five feet wide and solid
chunkS of iron coming out weighing a ton
or more. A. Fl. Foster, of Boulder. and
some Butte Lartles, are Interested in the
mine with Mr.. Benjamin.
Rev. H. w. Currin and partners nave To-
Gated a quartz claim near the Ruby mine,
DoRtown district, which they think will ex-
Gel the Ruby mine as a producer. 1t is in
the same formation as the Ruby and makes
4 better showing on the surface than did
that property.
j. A.. DeRdman is working the bar placer
diggings of himself and Jerry Smith on the
bar a mile or two south of Boulder and thew
expect to reap fair returns. The ground
washes out from one to five cents a pan and
all that is lacking to make good diggings is
plenty of water.
The property of the Canyon Park Mining
company, the Cyclone, Emma and Black
Friday quartz lode claims, near Radersburg,
were sold by the sheriff last week to VIM.
Z. Hayward, the creditor of the company,
for $5,221.32.
The Fourth of July and Fifth of July
quartz lodss, near Woodville, belonging to
tho Fourth of July Mining company, were
sold ut sheriff's sale last week to the cashier
of w. A. Clark d. Co.'s bank at Butte fol
the sum of $7,005.25.
Messrs. Riedel, Warner and Taylor, OF
Boulder, have bonded for one year to
Messrs. Darling, Johnson and O'Connor, OF
Comet. the Warhorse quartz ode Slain, a
few miles up the Boulder river, and the
latter will proceed to develop the property.
Work has been suspended on the Black
Friday mine, near Radersburg, negotiations
being In progress to sell the property to the
Aoston Smelter company.
An undivided half interest in the Mascot
lode, the property of Msyendorff g. Wells,
OF Helena, was sold by the sheriff last
week to Wise d Goodkind, of Helena, for
$336.70.
1t is understood that parties are soon TO
erect a concentration at Amazon. This
ought to be a great convenience to the
mines in that section, and should be the
means OF encouraging development.
Msssrs. Barry and Hungata Oh Monday
struck about fifteen inches of fine lead ore
in the Virginia Belle mine, Amazon dis
trict. They are drifting, and the strike
Is not more than thirty feet from the sur
face.
Work is progressing on the Little Boul-

The Printers Mining Company.


G. @. Proctor, of Great Falls, is among
the visitors in Helena. Mr.. Proctor is one
of the directors of the Printers Mining
company, a corporation composed largely
of gentlemen engaged in the printing bus
mess. It owns the Merritt Wyman group
of mines, consisting of the Columbus, Wy
man, Merritt and Mountain View claims.
They are situated in the Carbonate dis
trict, in the Little Belt mountains, about
thirty miles from Great Falls. The dis
triot in which the company will operate is
one of the best in the state. and enough
work has been done on its claims to encour-
age tho owners to continue the develop
ment. Several leads of soft carbonates
from two to four feet wide have been
opened up. In these leads hard carbonates
have also been encountered. The soft car
Donates assay $45 to the ton, and the hard
carbonates ~thirty-two ounces in silver and
So per cent. in lead. The company now mas
twenty tons of ore on the dump ready for
shipment. It also owns the Pittsburg lode
in the Barker district, which gives
promise of being a valuable property.
It carries galena and sulphuret ore
running high in silver. A portion of the
treasury stock has been placed on the mar
ket at 10 cents a share, to be sold in S10 lots
or more, payments to be made all cash or

operating in a rich mineral country, and
every indication points to the fact that its
holdings are valuable, with sufficient money
for development and good management it
should prove a money-maker.

RICH STRIKE IN THE GAIT
Eight Feet Of High Grade Ore En-
countered in a Mine Near
Neihart.
Believed to be a Continuation of
the Vein in the Queen of
the Hills.
Rlch Ore from the Benton Group-The
Printers Mining Co.-Jeffsrson County
Propcrties-The Dandy.

GREAT FAILS, Aug. 27.-[Special. News
reached the city last evening that a mag
ni6cent strike had been made in the Gait
mine, adjoining the Queen of the Hills
mine in Neihart. The vein was encoun-
tered by tunneling and shows eight feet of
high grade ore on its face. Tho vein is I'M
doubtedly an extension of the same vein
that has made the Queen of the Hills so
noted and the prospects are that by proper
development the Gait will prove one of the
richest and best paying mines in the Nei-
hart camp. Mining men declare that this
lead does not end here, but that 1t crosses
the Queen of the Hills and Gait properties
and extends across Belt creek to the prop
erty of the Neihart-Parrott company
where an important strike was made q few
days ago. This being true, the properties
along the line of the lead will yet be as de-
sirable as the Queen and INDEPENDENT read
ers can shortly expect to hear some big
finds in that vicinity before long. TIL
carload Of ore recently taken from the Ben
ton group on Snow creek and shipped to
the Helena smelter for treatment nettsd the
company over IS, 900 after paying all cost
of mining, wagon and railroad transporta-
ton and smelling. d. l.. Barker, who had
charge of the ore, returned from Helena
yesterday. The company mining the fine
claims comprising the Benton group I'M
doubtedly have a world beater. as some OF
their ore yields returns as high as $4,000 to
the ton. The recent shipment of a carload
of ore was for the purpose of ascertaining
the working value OF the rock and the fat.
tering returns will doubtless induce them to
make further shipments. Peter joins, of
Barker. is in the city. Mr.. o. is inter-
ested in some valuable claims in the Sweet
Grass hills and his visit here is for the pur-
pose of forming a stock company to work
the mines there. Some of the leads have
been pretty we'll developed and are showing
up fine bodies of ore. The Climax claim on
Royal Butte, is one of the best known
claims in the Sweet Grass district and has
shown up a big lead of silver ore. A ship
ment of eight tons of this ore to Swansea,
Wales, returned $3.50 net per ton over all
expenses. On the Livingston claim $42S to
the ton of rock has been Realised. while
ether claims show up equally as we'll. The
richness of the ores Of the Sweet Grass
bills certainly entities them to the consid-
Grafton Of investors. The principal draw
back in the development of the district
thus far has been the lack of transportation
facilities and as soon as that is secured the
district will come to the front as one of the
best producing camps in Montana.

THE LOTTERY CONDEMNED.

Attorney General Miller has given
the Louisiana Lottery company an
other scorching in a document re-
Gently filed by him in the United
States supreme court, in reply to
briefs by counsel of two representa-
tives of the company. These two
had been arrested for mailing a copy
of a newspaper containing the adj
vertisement of the lottery company
and had applied for a discharge by
writ of habeas corpus. The consti-
tutionality of the legislation against
the company "a called in question,
but the attorney general emphatic
ally sustains this constitutionalitv
and holds that the government
might as consistently be asked to
lend its aid to the use of the holy in
QUESTION and the burning OF heretics,
quakers and witches in the interest
of constitutional liberty (if an at
tempt was made to revive such prac-
t1ceS), as TO c"Ountenance any such
nefarious scheme as the lottery. He
intimates strongly that violators of
the law against such iniquities must
take the consequences, and thinks it
quite time that everybody realized
that the Louisiana lottery is I'M
der the ban of public opposition, of
legislative enactment and of judicial
decision.
The attorney generals position on
this subject will be endorsed by all
good citizens, and the sooner the
supporters of this gigantic lottery
scheme, and all others of a similar
nature, awake to the fact that they
are on the wrong track. the better it
will be for the entire country.

THE END OF BALMA CEDA.

The bowling demonstrations by
representatives Of the Congressional
party at Chili's capital when it be-
came known that 3almaceda had
taken his own life would tend to
show that the unfortunate EXPIRES
ident had escaped a worse fate at
the hands of his enemies. 1t was a
losing game that Balmaceda played,
from the start, and it's tragic con-
clusion is a fit sequel to the bitter
and revengeful hostility manifested
during the outbreak in that South
American republic; and it is to be
hoped that the easily-stirred in
habitants OF that country may now
settle down into some semblance of
peace and serenity.
The action of Minister Egan, the
United States representative in
Chill, in connection with the dis
turbance there, is severely criticised
in some quarters; but, taking Bal
maceda's last word for it, Mr..

1T WAS DOUBLY HOT.

From portions of the great West
come reports Of an intensely hot
spell-a thermometer registering
from 1902 to 1862 in the shade;
weather hotter, in Eau Claire, Wis,
for instance, than has been known
there for thirty years-so hot that
in Detroit business was suspended
for three hours on Friday and there
were ten cases of prostration. Then,
to add to the intensity of the heat,
prairie fires abounded in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, causing the de-
struction of thousands of bushels of
wheat and a large quantity of hay
in stacks. 1t seems like a remark
able record for this time of year.
