Deer Lodge Mines.

A showing made by ths Lion early this
week created something Of a stir in mining
circles which subsequent Developments, it
seems, did not fully warrant, says the New
Northwest. The ore body in the present
workings has been gradually increasing
in width for some time. indicating that the
north and south veins had, or we're about to
come together; and, while the quartz was
all that could be desired in point of guam
tity its quality WAS nil, assays returning
little or nothing. Sunday, however, it pre-
sented q better appearance and Secretary
Miller, who visited the mine that day,
brought down several samples. One, a lot
comprising about fifteen pounds, carefully
taken from across the breast of tho drift.
was designated as a fair test, and, among
others, was placed in the hands of DR..
Traphagen for assay. The return was
made Tuesday morning, and the result was
ffty-five ounces of silver and a trace of
gold for the test lot. This was a phenom-
and it is not to be wondered at that the
stockhol1ers were somewhat elatea.
Wednesday,, however, a disappointment
came. james Il. McMaster and Others con-
cerned went up to the mine, only to lean
that the Lye-foot breast of live quartz had
suddenly broken off as smooth MS a wall
and that ths drills were again pounding on
porphyry. The last shot put in before he
left gave some hope that the quartz might
come in again at any moment, but he did
not feel warranted in bringing back encour-
aging word.
The Champion made a cleanup early this
week, the first since the resumption of oper-
atoms at the mill on the 9th instant. The
result was three bars of bullion containing
3,2s7 ounces of silver, valued, on the basis
of the present market, at approximately 81
an ounce.
The roads between the mine and mill are
rapidly improving, and it is unlikely that
rain will again interfere with the delivery
of ore this season. The force at the mine
ls therefore being gradually increased, and
1t is stated that by the end of the present
month n complement of miners will be at
work on that property.
The Emory is still shipping ore from this
point and the mine is said to be showing NJ
better than ever before, both as to the extent
of it's ore body and the quality of the ore.

will develop Il shipping proposition during
the summer. It's incline shaft is now down
$50 feet.
The Hidden Hand has out a email ship
ment of high grade ore, which will go for
ward in a few days.
A rich strike is reported in the Southern
Cross. A force of men had been put IL
work to take out ore to fill their new con
tract for shipment from Anaconda, and il
blasting it is stated that Il new body wa
struck that IS something over fifteen fee
across, and which runs about $50 to tn,

In the Bald Mountain Country.

It will be remembered that last winter
the shaft on the Dunleath mine, on Bald
mountain, caved in, necessitatinR the start
ing of a new one. After a depth of 200 was
was attained a drift to the south was made
of fifty feet, but was Abandoned. Then an
other drift to the west, in the direction Of
the old shaft was started, and now comes
the news that in this a good body of ore
has been struck. The property is owned by
Nose Manuel g. Co.
A strike is also reported in the Mansfield,
owned by Messrs. RAISER, Nelson g. Ander-
son. This property is about one quarter of
a mile from the Dunleath. At the depth of
thirty feet there is uncovered a pay strea k
8 foot in width. assaying $153, 800 of
which is gold. The ore is of the same char
scter as that in tho Dunleath and Jose
phine.

BARKER Is PROsPERING.


The Livclv Town OF the Rcit Mountains
Preparing for the Railroad.
Tho near approach of the railroad to the
mines In the Belt mountains has had the
effect of not only stimulating the mining
industry in that section, but has also
helped materially the town of Barker. The
railroad is expected to be completed to the
town by August 10, and those who have
looked into the matter expect a good adj
vance In realty when Barker has the adyan-
tage OF rail communication. The other
day there was a sale of lots there, and the
total for the first twentv-four hours reached
the tidy sum Of $9,450. Contracts have
been made for the erection OF \ thirty-room
hotel, n general store and a number OF pri-
vate residences. A good deal Of Helena
money has been put not only in the mines.
but also in the town OF Barker. With its
rich mineral there il no reason
why Barker should not be the town of that
section.

News From Barker.

A big strike has been made in the II. W.,
an ore body Of seven feet being encoun-
tered. It is of the Same character as IN the
shaft, where the smelter returns gave 1914
PEI ton. The tunnel is in 40 feet now.
Work is TO commence at once on the
Wright and Edwards, owned by T. G.
Power. This property has remained idle,
awarding the advent Of the railroad. The
ore runs fifty to sixty unces.
Work is being pushed on the Barker
mine, which has paid expenses right along.
Work has been started on the Silver Tip,
which adioins the Top Hand. with a seyen-
foot vein, giving returns of S65.
The railroad will have all it can do from
the start hauling the ores already mined.

Testing a Great Saver.

About three weeks ago a Cook amalgamator
was placed on the lower part of French bar.
The great difficulty in working the plscers
in that vicinity has beer that the gold is SO
light it has been impossible to save only a
small portion of it. This amalgamator has
been in operation for three weeks now, and
80 we'll has it lone its work that not a trace
of gold ID found in the tailings coming
from it. Ex-senator Tabor, of Colorado,
who is interested in the Jefferson river
placers, examined the a~malgamator the
other day and SO impressed WAS he with its
cood points that he has ordered one built.
to be of greater capacity than any now in
the market. The invention is one which
promises to add thousands of dollars to
Montana's great output, as up to date it is
the only contrivance operated on Montana
placers, which has saved flour gold. DIR. G..
C. Swallow is the state agent, and w. b.
Mcpherson, the representative of the Gates
Iron Works, is also an agent. The latter
put up the a~malgamatcr on French bar,
and has added to its several features, which
greatly inc, eased its desirabilitv.
The machine is two feet wide by seven
long, and weighs $50 pounds. Its construe-
tion is very simple, while the capacity is
five tons per hour. The machine can be
used either for the pulp from a pulverizing
or stamp mill. or for placer dirt. In tho
latter case it has a placer attachment. The
dirt is fed into al automatic hopper, the
hose is kept playing on the bottom Of this,
throwing it into a double screen in a revolv-
ing cylinder, the inner screen being a three
eighths-inch and the outer a ons-tenth. A
perforated pipe runs through the cylinder,
washing all the gold of the rock. From
this cylinder the screenings pass directly
into the cylinder of the amalgamator, the
refuse being carried through to the dis
charge spout by the spiral channels in the
cylinder.
TIL cylinder in the amalgamator is three
feet long and two feet in diameter. A
spiral screw uns through it, so divided
that the material when it passes through
has gone over forty feet of surface, one
third of which is amalganlated. From the
cylinder the material which has not been
saved there, passes to silver tables, fitted
with mercury wells.
great advantage possessed by the ANAL
gamator lies in the fact that it is operated
at a minimum of expense. The one at
French bar is run by a Regsn Vapor en-
CINE, gasoline being the tuel used. 1t costs
but 60 cents g day. With this expenditure
and three men fifty tons of dirt can be
handled daily.

that make passage by an ordinary carriage
simply impossible, you know you would be
shaken to pieces in anything else.
And now the reason for the big wheels
appears; the roughnesses OF the roads are
reduced in effect in proportion to the big
ness of the wheels, and Jolts are so diffused
by the springy shafts and leather springs
that all the occupant feels is an easy swing
ing motion. The horse is harnessed to the
very ends of the shafts, ten or a dozen feet
in front of you, and the driver rides another
by his side. The road to the caves is spe-
cially rough, lying over the uneven surface
OF lava bed; your time is limited, and the
tough little Cuban stations, almost at a
run. whirl you over the rocks at pace that
would make Pittsburg fire engine hang its
head for very shame. The return to Havana
may be made the same day, and the tourist
gets back feeling that he has seen more in
one day than he will ordinarily see in a
week.
The Day of All the Seven.
The Cubans have no Sunday; that is,
Sunday with them is the weekly holiday;
all their sports are held on that day, bull
fights, baseball and horse racing; and if this
happens not to consist with your ideas of
Sabbath observance YOU will not see the
