The Paragon.

The Paragon Mining and Smelling COM
pany recently organized by John X. Cast
ner, George S. Allis, Vernon f. Going and
James Donovan ownss some very promising
properties in the Barker mining district,
consisting of the Top Hand, Paragon, Vista,
Silver King, Ida May and Puzzler leads,
says the Belt Mountain Miner. The com
pany lis incorporated with a capital stock of
100000, par value of shares 81 each.
Ihes properties, lying in the richest part OF
the famous Belt mountains, were located
several years ago by George Allis. The
formation in which the leads are found is
contact between lime and p~orphyry. This
group of mines was bonded by M. Il.
Downs last October for $4,000 and
worked until January l, in which time
5,O92 tons of ore were shipped to
the smelter. From these shipments the
highest return given for silver was 5.SS
ounces, the lowest nine ounces that of lead
81 per cent. for the highest and 1913 per
cent. for the lowest. Fully $4,000 has been
expended building the road to the mine
and there are many other improvements.
The Paragon people have Il we'll timbered
shaft down lD feet. The Top Hand has a
200-foot tunnel. There are two tunnels on
the Vista, one seventy give and the other 100
both we'll timbered. The Paragon has "A
sixteen-horse power engine, steam hoist,
shaft house, carpenter and blacksmish
shops and a store room. Work will be re-
sumed on these mines about the first of
May.

Tarantu1a Mining Com pany.

Another mining incorporation for Mis-
soula county was effected yesterday under
the title of the Tarantula Mining COM
pany, says the Gazette. The property COM
prised in the new incorporation lies fifteen
miles up Lo-- 10. creek. and consists. of
three claims, the Tarantula, Tarantula Ex-
tension and Centipede. The incorporators
are Robert Coombs, B. G~oldthwaite and
II. Veriegard. The development consists
80 far only of the discovery shaft with a
present depth Of forty-tive feet. At this
depth the vein, which has been constantly
widening, has a width of seven feet and a
pay streak of eight inches assaying S1W to
the ton. The average of the seven feet
runs about $40. The ore is composed of
sulphurets of silver and copper, with some
gold. The mines are located in a country
hitherto new to mining finds. A good
wagon road extends from them down to Lo
Lo station. Work is to be pushed actively
and the owners of the property are hopeful
Of big results.

The Presbyterian Concert,

The music-loving public is being sur
feited with good things this week. On the
heels of the Musin CONCERTS comes what will
probably be the best amateur concert ever
given in Helena. The occasion is esps-
cially interesting as being the first appear
ance of Madame Medini, the celebrated
operate singer, before a Helena public.
Madame Medini has won deserved success
as a singer, both in America and Europe,
and it will be a rare treat to hear her. She
will sing a beautiful aria from Verdi's rigo-
letto, besides two duets, one with Mrs. May
and one with Miss Wilson. Mr.. Anderson,
the we'll known artist, has kindly consent
ed to sing and play on the violin. He will
sing mon T. Yer" and play Gounod's ex-
quisite Ave Maria. Those who have had
the pleasure of hearing this gentleman are
enthusiastic i'm their praise of him. Other
attractions on the programme will he the
ladies' %ootette. reorganlzed under Madame
Medini's leadership, Mrs. Nav, Miss Will
son, Mrs. Hams, Mr.. Hirschield and Prof.

The shaft on the Summit mine. in Jeffer-

The shaft is entirely in ore but no attempt

Ruby Silver Strike.

A large specimen of ruby silver weighing
almost two pounds WAS brought in from the
mines of the Montana Gold, Silver and
Platinum company's properties, near Nei.
hart this week, says the Belt Miner. This
ore was taken out of the winze run at the
end of one of their long drifts aud they
have penetrated eight feet of it so far. The
ore came out of the Big Snowy. Thu chunk
has probably Sl5 or $40 in silver in it. and
is a rare piece of ore. This company are
selling stock Mt 10 cents per share and some
has sold for SIS cents, which brings tho
property. up to a valuation of over one
million dollars. Without Il doubt there il
nothing in Montana which shows az well as
the benton group. Miners working on the
property ARE otleting to take stock at 80
cents In pay for labor. which is IN good a
recommendation as could be asked.

Trout Creek Mines,

Joseph Pelikan returned from an inspec-
ton of the mining properties in which he
is interested on Trout creek Oh thursday,
and Immediately took steps to organize the
Deep Gulch Consolidated Quartz and Placer
Mining company, whose articles of incor-
poration were filed on Saturday, says the
Miasoula correspondent of the Standard.
AS the name indicates, the c%ompany's
property is situated on Deep Gulch. 10
reach it from here one goes west sixty
miles on the Coeur d'Alene branch to Trout
creek. The trail is then followed twelve
miles south on Trout creek, when Deep
eulch is reached running into Trout creek
from the west. The property is situated on
this gulch and conSists of four places
claims, each twenty rods wide and 1G0 rods
long, a~Rgregating two miles in length, and
eight quartz claims. The Concord is east
of Trout creek and joins the Sunday on the
east, which is part of the property of the
Landowner Consolidated Mining company.
West of the Concord are the Maud
5. Blue Eyed Kate, Gold Hill, Diamond and
Winning Hand. North of the Maud s. is
the Bullion, and north of the Diamond is
the You Bet. Much OF the ground in these
lions, thus giving the company complete
control of it and enabling them to work it
either as a quartz or placer claims.
All the claims lie on a lead which can be
traced for fifteen miles across the head of
QuartA Cedar and Trout creeks. In times
gone by the placer ground in Deep gulch
was very rich. MeD were accustomed to
make $40 a day working with the rude
implements then in use. The distance to
bedrock was forty feet and there was so
much water that it WAS impossible to work
the ground property. The present com
pany proposes to put in hydraulic mining
machinery and wash out the whole
gulch. There is any amount of water
and a good fall, so they anticipate no diff
ticulty. As the ground pays from the sur
face down they expect to make a good thing
out of it. The vein in the quartz locations
lies in a granite formation about 400 feet
wide. bounded on one side by porphyry and
on the other by slate. At the west end
there is also lime on the north side. The
Maud s., near the east end, is considered
the best claim. The vein there is five feet
wide, while in the Winning Hand on the
west end it is but eighteen inches. As it
grows narrower, however, the assays are
higher. The ore contains gold as the chief
valuable constituent, some of it being free
milling and some combined with sulphur
cts of iron. 1t assays from $6 to $6i2 a ton.

RICH FINDS NEAR HELENA
Big Body OF Ore Uncovered in the

Hotter & Bro.
Rumored Strike OF Rich Quartz
Near Montana City by Some
Woodchoppers.
Reported Discovery of Marble within 4
short Distance OF the City-Ths Elk
horn BOnhnza-General News.

Mr.. A.. j.. Loberg is showing his friends,
with pardonable pride, Il rich specimen of
ore taken from the East Rumley mine, in
Jefferson county, the property of A. M.
Hotter d Bro. Up to last November the
property was worked under a lease, but at
that time the owners commenced develop
ment on their own account, the work being
under the direction of Mr.. Loberg. The
shaft is now Town 200 feet, showing ten
feet of ore which will average all the way
through $50 to the ton. There is now In
sight from 5000 to 10000 tons of ore, and
just as soon as arrangements can be made
for water a large force of men will be put
at work on the mine, and a concentrator
put up.
1t WAS reported yesterday that there had
been a strike of very rich free gold quartz
near Montana City. 1t seems that tho find
was made by some wood choppers, though
under just what circumstances. and wha I il
amounts to-, could not be learned.
Reports from the Elkhorn are to the
effect that some of the richest ore yet dis.
covered in that valuable property has been
encountered in the last few days.
M. FL. Ripley, an old-time mining man,
has made a find of what is supposed to be
marble. 1t is located within a short dis
lance Of Helena, and marble workers to
whom it was shown yesterday pronounce it
the genuine article, and say it is capable of
the highest polish. The sample shown by
Mr.. Ripley was taken from the grass roots,
and investigation by him shows that it ia
present in the vicinity in immense blocks.
Should it prove on further examination to
be as good as the marble men say it is, the
find will prove a bonanza both to the dis
coyerer and to the city Of Helena.
