Work on the Champion.

There are rumors afoat that a strike OF
considerable Importance has been made IN
the cross-cut from the G00-foot level IN the
Champion. says the New Northwest. Stock
holders who visited the mine yesterday de-
nv that there is any occasion for excite
ment. One gentleman who returned last
evening informs the New Northwest that
the cross-cut tapped the vein several days
ago, and open out fifteen inches of good
milling ore on the hanging wall. Then a
body of low grade was struck OF very dlf-
fersnt quality. TIL cross-cut is still IN
progress with no sign Of the foot wall.
Others insist that a strike of unusual I'M
portance has really been made. IT IS
certain that there is something IN the WIND,
for prominent stockholders have bsen on
the ground the past two days closely
watching developments. They are resicent
as to the real showing of the vein, and Will
onl ysay that they "have plenty of water
and some ore.' Facts seem difficult to ar
rive at, and the New Northwest ventures no
opinion. The work of hauling the ore
taken from the upper levels to the mill III
this city was inaugurated last week, and
from twenty-five to thirty tons per day are
being delivered. Mill Superintendent
Sterritt has returned from Salt Lake, and
is actively engaged in putting things IN
shape for a run, and believes he Will be
ready to start by Wednesday of next week.
He feels confident the mine will yield
enough ore hereafter to keep the mill IN
constant operation.

After Twenty Years.

At last Ben johnson is chief of the placer
mines of Thompson gulch, says the Hus-
saIdman. 1t WAS more than twenty years
ago when he first stuck pick and shovel in
the mines there, since which time he has
oattled against adversities. the elements

After More Property.

John Henderson, the gentleman who owns
che controlling interest in the Clinton prop
srty in Park canyon, says the Miner, is said
to contemplate taking a bond on the five
claims which lie contiguous to each other
just east of the, ground now being devol-
oped by the Clinton company. The claims
are the Pompey, Black Diamond, Black
Warrior, Montana and Wild Goose. Two
of the claims nave been patented. while
the remaining three have had enough work
done on them to secure g patent. The
property is owned by Will Thornton, Will
Clark. James Forbis and the Cabbage
Bros, and the only hitch in the proceed
ines is in regard to the payment OF $4,000
cash to the owners on the delivery of the
bond, which is for 100000, and is to exist
for one year. Mr.. Henderson is now at
New York, and an answer from him in re-
gard to the $1,000 stipulation is expected
every day. The Clinton company, it is I'M
derstood, is doing very well with its present
possessions, a body of good ore having
been struck in running the tunnel, and it is
therefore DESTROYS Of adding the i've ad-
joining claims.

SCRATCH GRAVEL STRIKE.
An Old-Nmer Uncovers a Lot Of Ore
After Years of Hard
Work.
Stockholders Satisfied With the
Trial Run Of Ore From tho
None Such Mine.
w.YA MAMMALS Mipes-Ben JOHNSON Makes
It After Twenty Years Labor-Measher
County Observation-Disclosures.

Reports from the Scratch Gravel district,
about six miles north of Helena, are to the
eject That an old-timer named Griffith has
uade a big strike there. Griffith has done
! great deal Of work in the locality and he
has always firmly believed that in the end
he would be amply repaid. He ia said to
have uncovered a vein fifty feet wide, the
rock bearing gold and silver. He has one
foot of ore on the foot-wall and two on the
hanging wall. A lot of the ore was brought
to Helena Saturday for an assay. The lind
was made on a property near the Lexington,
and is a good thing, not only for the owner,
but also for a large number OF people IN
Helena who are interested in the district.
II is another proof of the truth of the state
ment that there are as good mining prop
critics in the immediate vicinity Of Helena
as there are anywhere, n all that Is need
ed is for nome people to put a little money
in their development.

Looks Like a Big Mine.

The Silver Crown Mining company,
operating in the vicinity of the Champion
mine in Orc Elmo district has ordered new
hosting machinery for its property and in
a short time will resume the sinking Of the
shaft. At the present depth the property
is looking equally as well as did the Cham
pion at the same depth. and gives promise
Of becoming as great mine. Champion
stock, which a short time ago lowered
about the 13-cent notch, is now quoted At
from 40 to 50 cents per share, with good
prospects of going higher. With the Cham
pion and Silver Crown scoring a single sue
cess, many other Orc Elmo properties on
which not much development work has
as vet been done will undoubtedly be
started in the near future.

Bonded the White Elephant.

Thos. Gahagan, of Great Falls, has Sc
cured a bond on the White Elephant in the
Belt mountain country. from the owners,
Messrs. Lilly, HEM and Shay. The bond
provides that 81, 200 shall be expended in
development of the mine before November
/, 1891 and $1,000 be paid afterward.
The mine is near the summit and on the
southeastern slope of Black Badly, and has
for neighbors the T.. W., Daisy, Liberty and
consists of a shaft down fifty feet in a
three foot lead which carries about eighteen
inches of galena. The property is on
sidered A No. 1 by those who have seen it,
and the price for which it is bonded is low.
There is already considerable ore on the
dump.

Meaeher County Mines.

John Sweeney and Mr.. Mccarthy have
recently struck q very fine prospect of high
grade ore in the Anna S. mine on Four
Mile. Quite a fine lof of ore was taken
out in a few hours, specimen assays of
which run as high as 1000 or. This strike
together with the Anna G. and another
property on the Checkerbonrd side has
filed the -Four Mile region with prospec-
tors. A o W has been laid out. and boom
ere are busy stalking corner lots.

Tho None Such.

While the total product of the trial run
Of None Such ore in the Shaffer mill has
not been ascertainsd as yet, sufficient IS
known to demonstrate the value of the
property and that it is, as claimed by those
Interested, a genuine free-milling gold ore
proposition. The stockholders are satisfied
with the trial and arrangements are now
being made to mill the ore 80 that q fair
per cent, Of its value can be saved. The
trial has been the fairest kind Of q test. In
that no sorting OF ore was done, but il was
sent to the mill just as taken out IN devel-
opment and not a pound of it was stopped.
The min is looking letter than ever, and
development is going right along. So soon
as the mill question is settled there will be
an abundance of ore to work.

working shaft, a 6)-ton smelter and the
finest hoist in Montana will elbow ine be-
tween the fifteenth and twentieth of this
month. MI. Mcdonald, the efficient min
ing man in charge, estimates that no can
take out the ore, timber the mine and lay
the ore down on the smelter tloor for less
than a dollar a ton and it is expected the
great mine will be turning out fabulous
profits at IN carly day.
James Alkire came in this week and To-
Gated a couple of leads in tho main Belt
range. but on the south side of the summit.
One of tho leads is very promising indeed
and is about twenty feet wide containing
numerous stratas of ore. Mr.. Alkire by &C.
cident was passing over the ground and
happened to pick MP a piece of galena.
Looking over the country after this no
found it covered with float and ia satisfied
that at last the famous mineral belt of
Neihart and Barker has been traced to this
side of tue mountains and that a now era is
about to dawn upon the southern slope OF
the famous Belt mountains.
There is considerable interest being man
Tested of late in the Yellowstone by the
owners of the stock who reside here. The
large shoot OF ore cut at the 1O0-foot n
200. foot levels has been struck i'll the 800
foot level and every one is feeling very san
kuine as to the future of the property.
News has Just been received of important
discoveries on lenderioot, upout twenty
miles west of north of White Sulphur
Springs. There has been but little work
done on these properties, but We understand
that they are very promising, and IN all
probability thsre is a rich group OF mines
there.
The excitement about Four Mile district
ia very intense at this time and people are
flocking in that direction from all quarters.
The country being large, the formation
favorable and the ore found rich, gives
promise of the development of II of the
best camps in Montana.
James Sweeny and his partner have a very
promising prospect on the south side OF
Four Mile, a lead discovered Saturday last.

shonbar People Pleased.

The shaft of the Shonbar mas reached a
depth of 800 feet and is still going down at
the rate of two feet each day. says the
Miner. 1t is being sunk to the pitch of the
vein, which at the present depth about
eighteen inches in width. The ore the en-
tire width of the vein assays $50 ounces in
silver and some gold. Sinking will continue
until a depth of 400 feet is reached, when a
level will be driven east and the GRE stopped
out. The Shonbar people are highly pleased
with the outlook for their property, beliey-
ing that it will in a short time equal the
Vulcan, which adioins it on the west. in
point of production.

The shaft in the tunnel on the Barker
mine is down twenty-five feet and has
struck the lead which dips to the south.
Stopping is being carried On at two different
places on the vein above and large amount
OF high-grade ore is being taken out. The
ore vein or pay streak of gold galena is
from twenty-five to thirty-six inches thick.
Several carloads of sacked ore are piled up
