The Philipsburg mail. [volume] (Philipsburg, Mont.) 1887-current, 1891-08-13

A census of the Catholic population of
Phillpsburg and vicinity has just been
completed by Peter Towey and is as fol-
lows: Philipsburg, 218; Rumsey, 1O8;
Clark, 55; Tower, 80: South Philipsburg,
%; Hasmark, IA; Total, $50. The census
was taken in order to ascertain whether
there was a sufficient number of that de-
nomination in this vicinity to support a
church and resident priest, It is more
than probable that the church will be
built this season.
Joe Coleman, son of Vim. Coleman, the
Deer Lodgs merchant, returned home
Sunday morning, after spending week
or SO here visiting his grand parents and
other relatives. A surprise party was
being arranged for his benefit last Mon
day night, and a number of his little
friends we're sadly disappointed because
of his departure

The Boulder District.

The Boulder or Clear Creek country is
fast coming into prominence as a mining
section. 1t is reported that a 2O-stamp
gold mill has been bought and will be
taken IN and erected at once. There are
numerous prospectors who are plodding
carefully through the country, and
sometimes they are heard from, and will
be more frequently from now on.
One of these trail blazers came to
Philipsburg day or two ago after sup
plies, and he brought beautiful speci-
men of gold float. Free gold could be
seen all over it, and the possessor was
certain that he could find the lead from
which 1t came, and is of the opinion that
there will be considerable excitement in
that country before winter.

BIZ Metallic Extension,

The Bi-Metallic Extension company s
shaft is now nearly at a depth of 400 feet.
It has not yet been decided when or at
what depth the crosscut will be run, but
it is probable that station will soon be
cut out and crosscut run to the lead.
This company has been quietly pushing
the work Of development without any
noise Or blow. and their success or fail
ure to strike good GRE in the crosscut
means good or dull times to the Flint
Creek mining district. as we'll as to the
town CT Philipsburg.

Combination.

Things at Black Pine are gradually i'm
proving. Mr.. Lewis is pushing work al
along the line as rapidly as possible
The timbers and gallows-frame for the
new hoist on the Harrison shaft were
raised Monday, and it will not be long
until the new hoisting machinery will
arrive and be placed in position. Both
the Harrison and the Harper shafts will
be kept running; at least until the drift
connecting the two shafts, which is now
being run, is completed.
Water is being carried from a spring,
which is west of the works. to both hoists
and there will very likely be sufficient to
supply the families living at the mine.
which will be much better than the
present plan of hauling water for all
uses.
All of the ore houses are full of very
fine quality of ore, much of it showing
native silver.
At the mill, which is now running in
good shape, preparations are being made
for the new addition of ten stamps. The
stone wall has been laid by mason NJ. A.
Call, who is being very highly compli-
mented for his workmanlike job. Lum-
Der is being hauled as fast as the horri-
BILE condition of the roads will allow, and
some of the new machinery is already on
the ground.
After the completion of the new plant,
it will have capacity of about Is tons
per day, and will necessitate the employ
ment of probably as many again miners
as are at present employed.
Dave Ballentine is the foreman of the
mine and Fred w. Sherman is mill fore
man, and F. H. Bird, book keeper and
assayer.
About $4,000 will have been expended
by this company before their contem-

OPERATIONS IN THE DISTRICT
Great Activity at Black Pine-Organi-
zation of the Midnight Mining
and Milling Company-Bf-
Metallic Extension.

Philipsbrrg is bound to be the center
OF the greatest mining and silver -produc-
ing district in the world. This has of
course been said before. but it does no
harm to repeat the truth, and the evi-
dence to prove that it is the truth is fast
accumulating.
Probably at no time for the past five
years has there been less talk, and to
people who are not posted, apparently as
little being done in the mining industry
as at present. But to those who are
interested in the actual development of
properties, it is well known that there is
more real beneficial work being done at
present than ever before in the history
of the camp.
The difference seems to be that the
methods of mining companies who have
organized for the sole purpose of doing
development work have changed, and
that, too, for the better. Formerly when
company was formed it was done with
few weeks an important strike was re-
ported. This way of doing business was
for the time being very successful, but
the plan seems to have seen it's best days,
and it never was good one-at least, it
was not an honest one-and this fact was
probably the cause of it's abandonment.
During the palmy days of the San
Francisco Mining company every paper
between here and st. Louis and New
York we're publishing strikes with almost
alarming frequency. Stock was doomed
away beyond its real value. In fact,
without really intending it, the manage
ment of that company were not honest
with the people, or with themselves,
either, for that matter, and as final re-
suit of continual and persistent search
for bonanza ore, it was closed down and
sold out at sheriff's sale, entirely over
looking the fact that they had already
found large bodies of low grade ore that
properly handled would pay. They had,
however, talked ruby strikes so much
that even the people on the inside would
be satisfied with nothing less.
In direct contrast with this, the re-
organization of the San Francisco COM
pany, now known as the Marie company,
is doing business so quietly that were it
not for their monthly pay out people
would hardly know that there was such
a concern.
The people of Philipsburg are very
anxious for their success, and are pre-
pared to not only lend them their moral,
but also, if necessary, their financial sup
port, for the reason that paying mine
there means more for the town of Phil
ipsburg than if found in almost any
other part of the district The directors
and officers of the Marie company,
whether successful or not, can always
depend upon warm welcome when they
visit this city

Appointments NJ. E. Conference.

The late session of the Methodist
Episcopal annual conference took some
action on the Indian question of public
interest, demonstrating the intense 10y
atty of the body to American institutions
as such. A special committee was ap-
pointed on american Institutions
and the report of that committee recon-
mended that all grants from the govern
meat to the Methodist Episcopal mission
schools among Indians be refused by the
authorities in charge of all such schools,
and recommended that the education of
the Indians be placed directly under the
supervision OF the state and nation. The
report was unanimously adopted

Midnight Mining and Milling Co


Last Monday night the Midnight
Mining and Milling Co. was organized
and the following named gentlemen were
elected to serve as trustees for the first
three months: F. NJ. Durfee, Thos. F.

and Valentine Jacky The officers are:
President, F. NJ. Durfee; vice president,
Thos. F. Hynes; secretary, Valentine

The capital stock is 100000 shares,
with a par value of $500 per share, and
just one-half 15OOOO shares) is in the
treasury for working capital. It was
decided to place on the market at pres
ent $4,000 shares, which will be sold at
% cents per share.
One hundred tons of ore are now be-
ing hauled to the depot for shipment to
the Lexington company's works at
Butte.
The formation and ultimate success of
this company would be of almost untold
benefit to this city, and as it is only a
short distance, persons who are contem-
plating an investment in the stock should
60 down in the mine and examine it
carefully for themselves. The manager
or foreman will be pleased to show al
most anybody through the nine There
is something over 200 tons of fair grade
ore on the dump at present and plenty
more in sight in the mine.
It is presumed that the object of sell
ing the $4,000 shares of treasury stock
at this time is for the purpose of interest
ing local residents as much as possible,
and for the further purpose of buying
and putting in position good hoist and
pump. The present depth of the shaft
is los feet, and it is thought that water
will be encountered before going much
deeper, and when machinery is pur-
chasd, it will be mining, and not pros
pecting machinery.

it would appear that from now on the

Relocation Law.

A late decision of the supreme court
of great interest to miners, has been rem
dered, in regard to what is meant by the
provision of the laws of the United States,
which declare that mining claim
shall not be subject to relocation, not
withstanding the failure of the owner to
perform the labor required by law, if in
the meantime he has resumed work.
The conclusion of the court is given in
the following words: "When, therefore,
he availed himself of the statutory privi
lege of resuming work to preserve his
estate from forfeiture. we hold that he
should have prosecuted the same with
reasonable diligence until the require
ments for the annual labor or improve
ments had been obeyed."
Some persons have been in the habit
of assuming that claim owner could
neglect to represent his claim, and yet
secure himself from having it jumped,
by going upon it after the close of the
year and doing few dollars worth of
work. The opinion of our Supreme
Court, speaking for the first time on this
question, corrects this impression. It
determines that the delinquent owner
must not only resume work. but must
continue it without serious intermission
until labor or Improvements of the value
of one hundred dollars have been per-
fOrmedl

it says that Manager Solomon. of the

ton is made of Philipsburg or Granite,
and one would suppose that the Helena
people do not consider that this section

the Philipsburg ball team will play
Manager Solomon's outfit in any town in
Montana for $3.50 side almost any date.
OF course, if there is such a game matched
an effort would be made to have it played
on the home grounds but if this can't
be done, Deer Lodge would be satisfac-
tory. And furthermore, after the genial
Helena manager has discovered the
champions of the state league, the Philips
burgs will play them three games for
$500 each game. This is no bluff, but is
authorized by the ball players themselves,
who are their own hackers So far as
attendance is concerned, Philipsburg and
vicinity has population quite as large
as the other towns, and the interest in
the national game is fast increasing.
Before snow flies it will be demonstrated
beyond doubt that the champion ball
players reside at Philipsburg.
The rustler. (Cerrillos, N.M.) 1891-1???, 1891-07-24

A show and bale were 20 be
given In the ArmBo hall, property
OF Alex. Rogers. on Saturday
night. The parties giving the en-
tertalnmsnt were the same that
were here q number OF times. In
the early part Of the evening the
performance was broken up by o
fight between two Msxicans, and
the small audience dispersed. Soon
after q largo lamp fell to the floor,
scattering burning oil over tho
floor and down through the cracks.
In spite of vigorous efeort to ex-
tinguish the blaze the building was
soon In flames and was entirely
consumed. The night was very
still and the building being some-
what isolated, there was no spread
Of the flames. The building cost
about 500. No insurance. Mr.:
Rogers takes bad luck lightly, still
he has the general sympathy Of the
community In his loss.
James Aumac, q ranchman near
San Pedro, came In TO spend the
ath and left his horse In Schick's
stable. He drank considerable,
but when last seen after the 4th
appeared duly sober and started

only for u walk. lie has not been
seen by anyone in the camp since,
though recently tesmster claims
to have seen man answering his
description near the coal banks.
and who claimed to have walked
from San Pedro, and TO have left
his horse there in stable. His
disappearance creates considerable
interest. He is said to be an in
veterato drinker, but owes no one
and his leaving his horse in tho
stable and going away without
notice excites some comment, al
though II is stated that he has left
other points quite suddenly and
without reason. lie is about 90
years old and has no one TO look
after, much of his life having been
spent on u COW ranch. lie has
