Together with two gentlemen who figure az

silver is 925 parts pure silver in 1000 parts,
or, as We would say. .925 fine. In the United
States We quote the price of silver not OF

800 fine, but as pure silver. Know
ing the London price Of sterling
in pence if we multiply the
pence by the co-efioient 1.6a55 minus. it
will give the value of the silver in our dol
lar at London. Multiply the sterling prIoe
per ounce in pence by the co-etticient
2.19211 minus it will give us the price OF
one ounce of pure silver in London. Thus,
if silver in London is quoted at sod. per
ounce, then so multil lied by 1.6955 equals
"a. 1850 is the value of the bullion in our

velopmsnt work upon the Elizabeth il
progressing rapidly, and in every way sat
isfactorily to the fortunate owners of this
much talked of property. Thu hosting
plant consists Of q single reel with round
steel cable and double cylinders, 12x16, two
steel boilers Of forty-horss power capacity,
and a knowles pump capable of handling
800 gallons per minute. This pump is run-
ming at only twenty-three piston feet per
minute now, and delivering about 125 gal
Ions Of water, or about one-fourth of its
capacity. Despite the difficulty of getting
any reliable information about the mine,
your correspondent was able to CLEAN the
following facts from parties who know
whereof they speak, The ore chute recently
encountered in the face Of the drift east
from the north croseeut. has widened to
about four feet; the high grade streak keep
ing about the same width, six to ten inches,
a. where first met with.
From the point of contact with this chute
to the west end of the Butte stops ia in the
n~eighborhood of 260 feet. and from there to
the east end line of the Elizabeth claim il
40 feet. This gives the Elizabeth people
400 feet of STOPPING ground. The depth OF
their present working level from the high
est point ON the strike of the vein is about
7CO feet. As seen in this drift, the vein is
nearly perpendicular, and being fully ITO
feet south of their north side line it re-
quires a very lively imagination to see the
apex on any other than Elizabeth ground.
The absurd and wholly uncalled for attacks
upon the management of this property by
certain so-eallsd mining editors of Helena
and Philipsburg are noteworthy only as
signal failures to conceal the source of their
information One writer remarks in regard
to the Midnight mine that ''the foot wall is
sand stone, the hanging wall %porphyry and
the country rock lime"

Immediately after the location by the Liv-
ingston boys and Mich Miller, says the
Cour d'Alens Miner. The surface showing
was good, a large ledge being exposed, show
ing native copper and assaying something
in silver. DIR. +. o. Smith secured a short op-
ton on the property, and through his eff
forts W. Il. Mann and the company he
represents secured a bond on it for the
sum Of $4,000. This bono expired the first
OF this month.
All last winter and until the middle of
last August they kept a small force of men
at work. They cut through an enormous
body OF ore carrying copper and silver,
though generally supposed to be low grade,
and at the time the bone expired they were
not entirely across the ledge, and right in
the face of the tunnel was found what ap-
pearsd to be the best ore that had been en-
countsred.
There was some disagreement as to an
extension of time. The owners felt that
their property made a good showing and
that its value was beyond what it had been
before any work had been done, and the
bondsrs felt that they were responsible for
the improved showing and that a little
more time WAS necessary to prove the prop
erty as they desired.

H. P. Nelson, of Helena. who is interested
In the Golden Chief mine, in the Boulder
district, Park county. gives some lnforma-
ton about that section. The camp is sixty
miles from Big Timber, the formation
granite and p~orphyry and the ore fres mill
ing gold quartz. The veins, he says, are
true assures, in width from ons-half OF a
foot to four feet. The lamp is about ten
years old, but very little work was done I'M
til the last year or so. Rock from the
Golden Chief runs from S15 to $35 to the
ton. The Billings Gazette gives the follow
ing additional information: Work on
some five or six claims has progressed so
favorably this season that doubt no longer
exists az to the future of the camp in the
way of good paying and we'll defined min
eral lodes. Especially il this true of tho
property of the Independents and Poorman
companies, whore work has been pushed
with more rapidity than on any of the
other locations. All summer long the

smallest scale of operations of that kind),
and the result pans out $50 a day. with ore
enough in sight to run a mill three times
the present ones capacity for the next year..
The Poorman company has made great
m organized only a year ago and moth
ing in sight to warrant much outlay in
money, a remarkable showing has been
made. But the little prospect was tackled,
and as work progressed the claim rapidly
developed a number of fine lodes, which
has so inspired the confidence of the own
srs that a three-stamp mill was purchased
two weeks ago, which will be put in opera
ton as soon as possible. Thu company has
over 100 tons of $50 gold rock on the
dump, is working three shifts under the
management of Superintendent Mickey and
is arranging to remain in steady operation
during the entire fall and winter. The In
dependant people will do likewise, and
through the showing made by these two
companies by the time another summer
rolls along Boulder will have developed
into one of the richest and most prosperous
mineral districts in the state. The fact
that the orc Of the entire district is of the
free milling character, requiring no smelt-
ing process for securing the metal, makes it
all the more certain that Boulder will be a
f1ourishing camp. The existence Of mineral
in large bodies has now been fully demon
strated and time will only be required to
place machinery of sufficient capacity on
the ground to turn out the glittering gold
in large paying quantities.
