AMONG THE MINES.
The Prospects and Properties of Deer Lodge
and Adjoining Counties.
THE CARBONATE EXTENSION.

THE CARBONATE EXTENSION.
Another mining deal was concluded We'd
nestlay afternoon, by which William Zosel
bonded his Carbonate Extension prospect to
Wm. Meader, of Butte, and J. G. Shaubut,
of Deer Lodge. The claim is located in the
Zosel district and joins the Emery mine,
which has been bonded by N. J. Bielenbcrg.
BY the terms of the deal $4,000 is placed as
the price of the claim and $1,000 paid as a
bonus to Mr.. Iosel. Unless in six months
Messrs. Meader and Shaubut conclude to
purchase the property, all the ore and ma
chinery that is placed in position becomes
the property of the present owner of the
claim. The mine is comparatively undevel-
oped, but the experts state that the prospect
is as good as that of its neighbor, the Emery,
from which considerable ore has been taken {.
Messrs. Meader and Shaubut are men expe-
rienced among mines and have great faith in
this district. They have until February 1st
to put men at work.
THE r1IdsN1X. H..
The stockholders of the Phoenix Mining
Company met in Shaubut &, Shanley's office
Saturday night, They represented 2iS,715
shares of the stock. j. Il. Van Gnndy was
elected chairman of the meeting and j. g.
Shaubut secretary. A motion was then made
to transfer the stock to the New Phoenix
Mining Company, and to make it assessable.
The motion prevailed without dissenting
vote. Of the new company there will be
$50, 600 shares of the par value of 50 per share.
II. G. Humber, Joe Lodge, E. Hanson, g.
Barrette, c. Gonlin, j. C. Shaubut and w. B..
Matheson were elected trustees. A meeting
will be held next Saturday night to levy an
assessment, which will be not more than tw o
cents per share, and there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of an assessment still lower
to pay OFT the Indebtedness and suspend
operations until other mines in that vicinity
are developed.
THE LION.
Numerous rumors have been flying this
week of a strike in the Lion, but definite
news came late last night from Foreman
Taylor to Secretary Miller that the expected
vein in the north crosscut had only just been
tapped yesterday morning, and he could not
at the time of writing tell its extent. Ore of
fair quality is being taken from the south
vein. The drills are doing good work, and
another man has been added to the crew for
taking care of the rock taken out.
