tho Pony District.

Tho American Mining company (limitedl
OF Montana has just closed q contract with
Thomas w. Bates, OF Payette, Idaho, to
build a standard gauge road from a point
on the Oregon Short Line to the Blue
Jacket mine. in the Seven Devils district,
in Washington county, Idaho. Under the
terms of tho contract construction work Ia
to commence on or before May l, 1899.
Fifty miles are to be completed on or be-
fore January, 1898, and the remainder is to
be built by January, 1924. This mining
company agrees in consideration Of the
construction of the road TO ship all ores,
matte or copper, from any mines in which
1t holds an interest. These properties are
the Elus Jacket, Blu jacket No. 2. Legal
Tender, Copper Crescent, Norma Calumet,
Copper Queen, White Monument, Peacock
and Helena. The company also agrees to
begin the work OF taking out ore for ship
ment as soon as the first fifty miles Of the
road are completed. The contract between
Bates and the company is made for a period
OF FIVE years. Bates on his part agrees to
furnish all transportation facilities for
hauling ore at the rate of S. per ton from

A. NEW METAL.
&eOrge A.. Clarke's Find in the Rocky
Mountain Region.

George A. Clarke's Find in the Rocky
1' Mountain Region.
George A.. Clarke, an experienced iron
worker OF Boston, claims to have dis
covered an ore in the Rocky mountains
which he believes is new to the world. He
says: II took specimens of the ore to as
sayers in Cincinnati. Chicago and Boston
and not ons of them could tell mo the
name of the mineral. Then l began here
q series of experiments myself, mixing
1t with molten iron, and I found that
only a small quantity WAS necessary to
increase the huidity of the metal. 1t
rendered iron duotile and in low grades
acted as a purifier. The product Of alloy
was a homogeneous metal of very fine
pores. capable of higher finish than before.
The Stag expelled by it's use contained nc
metal and was very light. In the new treat
mems o. iron with only one per cent. OF the
now ore, the formers tensile strength was
increased from 10 to rs per cent. Using
half of ons per cent. of this ore In a mix
metal greater increase-from 60 to 100 per
cent.-of tensile strength. The resulting,
too. is capable of a. high polish. In a word,
l found that the ore increased the tensile
strength and fiuidity under heat of both
these metals and makes them both of finer
grain. 1t is noncorrosive." The ore looks
like a fine sandstone, save that 1t is black,
and many pieces of it presented highly pol
ished surfaces M smooth as a bit Of glass.
MIR. Clarke refuses to state the location of
the field, which, he states, was exposed over
the face of an acre, az he is trying to get
control of ii first.

1t is an extension Of the noted Gold Dust.
There is three feet OF ore.
The Moulton at Neihart is expected to

News from Red Bluff is to the effect that
the work OF development on the Red Bluff

while all the other mines in the camp that
are being worked are showing up in good
shape. 3
Sinking continues On the Kenneth mine,
and as depth is attained indications of

been sunk on this great mine (Which is the
same as the Bertha) are most favorable.
