0yn Elmo District.

The situation at Champion remains prac-
tically unchanged, says the New North
west, save that the delivery of ore from the
Champion mine to the Mill in this city is
practically suspended, owing to the impas-
sible condition of the roads, and unless
there ia r change for the better soon it may
be found necessary to shut down the mill.
Work at the mine is going ahead as usual
with a force of about sixty men.
The usual progress of Ave feet per day is
being made III the drift on the 800 in the
Lion. AT this rate the objective point in
these workings will be reached in less Than
sixty days, and the future of the property
III q measure determined.
With the exception of the work on these
properties and the New State, but little is
being lone IN the vicinity of the Champion
just now. On Indian creek. about five
miles east, good progress is being made on
the Mineral Hill and Standard company's
properties, and in both instances those
most prominently concerned have great
faith in the outcome.

wor,. on the Cumberland.

The work of development on the Cum
herland is progressing as 1t never has be-
fore, says the Husbandman. A station Is
now being cut on the foot wall OF the ore
body at the hoo-foot level where it Is de-
signed to place their old hoist and sink a
prospecting shaft. following the ore wher-
svnr X coes. The main shaft will be sent
down simultaneously with this and should
the ore continue down and the dip remain
nhout the came as il has thus far from the
surface these shafts will intersect at a depth
of 1000 or 100 feet. However. when 5oo
Alow the station a cross-eut Will be run TO
the main shaft and prospecting levels run
The steam for the hoist at the 50o-tpot sta-
tion will be conveyed from the boilers above
and all ore and water hoisted to this level
will be rehoisted to the surface. III IS the
intention of the Cumberland management
to keep the prospecting well ahead OF the
stopping, and tho scheme of following the
ore will prevent their doing N dead AND
uncertain work.

Cooke City Mines.

The mine owners of Cooke are preparing
to do d large amount of work in that dis
trict the coming summer, and among the
mines to be extensively developed are the
following: The Moulton, owned by a Mimi
eapolis company will be developed by both
shafts and tunnels. Machinery for the
mine was removed from the cars at Liv-
iugton last week and is now on the road to
Cooke. The Revenge and Iowa, purchased
last winter from the Howell Bros, by W.
i. Sheard ct al. will be developed by the
new company and daylight let into the vast
seams OF ore. The Elkhorn extension,
owned by W. T. Davis, will be developed to
a considerable extent this summer. A con
tract has been let for a 100-foot shaft. and
work will also be prosecuted in other direc.
tions. The Vinnsdge Mining company
who own the Warrior Chief group OF mines
will undoubtedly do more work the coming
summer on their properties than in any on
previous year. The company is now max

Montana mining men are very much III
terested in a big ore concentration whloh
has been recently put on the market by A.
p. Granger, of Denver, Colorado. In o
nntshell. the invention is one which IS sup
posed to do away with water, air taking It's
place. This concentratos was patented IN
1sss. by Granger, and it seems that there
are a number in successful operation III Cal
ifornia. Arizona, Colorado and New Mex
leo. If the machine is as good as the m
ventor claims there is a fortune for him
right here in Montana. There are hum
dreds OF mines lying idle in the state to-
day. with tons and tons of concentrating
orc at the dump and in sight which cannot
be handled proftably simply because there
il no water with which to run n concentra-
tor. Some ore from a Jefferson county
mine was sent Granger to test and the Jon
centrate came back all right, but as the
tailines were left-at Denver, there was no
way of detecting the percentage OF loss.
This ore had never been concentrates be-
fore, SO there is no way of finding out just
what the Granger machine can do. If the
inventor will send one of his
machines to Montana IN trial,
have it put up on a mine, and the test re-
suits satisfactorily. he can sell lou of them
before the frst of January. and it is only by
4 practical test right here that he can con-
vince the Montana miner that his dry ore
process is feasible.

assessment work on his mine, but he put
every dollar he could get into it,. His wife
kept a clearinghouse to help him along.
One time he was so in debt that he was
about to lease his mine. Bad luck seemed
to have followed him, but just rs the prop
erty was abont to go his wife drew 5000
in the Louisiana lottery. This paid off the
mortgage and he went on again. but he got
in debt worse than ever; and just az he Was
about to nave the mine taken from him he
struck ore rich. This was about two wears
ago, since then he has sold over $l,50O,0Oo
of ore, netting him n full ST., O00, 900, and
now that he has sold ths mine he is about

July, for the purpose Of mortgaging or sell

has become necessary in order that the
company may adjust lts liabilities: This
