News From Neihart.

A meeting of the Lexington mining CON-
pany was held in Neihart on Monday and
officers we're elected for the ensuing veal
as follows: Edward G. Hanson, president
Daniel Leney, vice president; w. II. Harri-
son, secretary and treasurer; Dundan Nc
Donald, general manager. Directors:
Michael Day, John Sweeney, Allen Pierse,
Duncan Mcdonald and Stephen Pierse.
The capital stock of the company is 600.
treasury stock has been placed on the mar
ket at 10 cents each.
Captain Charles Black. of Carpenter
creek. is running a tunnel which is in direct
line with the Crandall vein. Openings
show 1000 feet of fine looking quartz, some
Of which assays $500 per ton silver.
In 1882, j. l.. Neihart traded a half inter-
est in the Fairplay mine for ten days work.
The property is now worth $4,000 and is
not for sale at any figure. And still the
development amounts to very little.
In the tunnel on the Queen of the Hills, a
cross-cut is to be made at a distance of go
feet, and an upraise will be started to ex-
tend to the surface. Machinery will be
placed on top to hoist the waist while the
TUNE will be used to move the ore.
Accompanied by Chas. Crawford and
Ross Lyons, we visited the Morning and
Evening Star lodes, yesterday. The Morn
ing Star adjoins the London o the south
and is just below the Florence. The tunnel
rs in 3Uc feet and a fine chute OF ore is dis
elosed in the face, which is nearly three
feet in width and run IS per cent. lead and
30 ounces silver. Crawford, Burns, ct al.
are the owners.
There are two leads on the st. Jane!
claim and Tour on the Absolute. These
claims are owned by the st. James Consoli-
dated Mining company, and beng located
in the richest belt of Neihart district give
the company a fine rating.

The East Granite.

The Philipsburg Mail says that in cutting
out for a station at the 250-foot level on the
East Granite last Friday, eighteen inches
of quartz was uncovered, carrying 40 to &c
ounces of silver, This discovery was en-
tirely unexpected, as it was found forty feet
from the vein and on the south side of the
shaft, and the superintendent is of the
opinion that 10 is a spur off from the main
vein. but says in his opinion it would pay
to do nothing more, but drift on this spur
and begin taking out ore.
There is, however, a good deal to be con-
sidered. The pump is becoming made
quate to discharge all the water from the
present depth i'll the shaft, and about the
first thing to be done now is the placing of
a larger pump in the 25O-foot station, pro-
viding they decide to sink further before
prosecuting north to the vein. just at
present the management is at a loss to
know how to proceed. MIR. Par
dee's latest orders were to continue
sinking until otherwise instructed,
has been received from various kilograms
sent him. When Manager Pardee arrives
next week something definite will soon be
decided upon, and it is not unlikely that
the necessary machinery will be put in to
continue the shaft to the 5W-foot level.
At the depth of 40 feet this COMPANY had
enough in sight to justify them crosscut-
ting. then at 220 feet it was still more prom
Using, and now at the $50 it becomes more
substantial than at any time before. Indi-
cations are plentiful enough to encourage
further sinking, and when the vein is finally
tapped have it show up its true worth. On
the contrary, If the vein should have been
exposed heretofore, it might not come up
to the expectations of some, and only serve
to lessen confidence in the property, which
would not be justifiable.
Mr.. WEIGH, the superintendent, says he
has every reason to believe, and good
reasons, too, that the north vein, which is
200 feet from the main shaft. is no other
than the Sunnyside vein, and when devel-
oped will be of greater extent than recently
exposed in the Granite company's ground.

ELIZABETH ON THE JUMP.

St. Louis Brokers by a
Decided Rise.
An Unexpected Strike in the East
Granite and the Superin-
tendent's Opinion.
News From tho Neihart District-Work
Began on the Lion-Rich Orc
From the Albion.

There has been quite a furry in Eliza
beth stock on the st. Louis market the past
few days. Friday it jumped from $l.5o to
1925, and advices in Helena yesterday we're
ia the effect that it closed strong at that
figure. Exactly what caused the advance
is not known. There is nothing in the
weekly report received in Helena on Thurs
day to cause any rise in the stock, the re-
port simply showing that work was being
prosecuted. The advance is accounted for by
some on the ground that a rumor of a new
strike in the Bi-Metallic had been received
in st. Louis, and as there is a feeling in st.
Louis that the Bi-Metallic lead runs into
the Elizabeth ground, this probably caused
the boom.

The Lion

In accordance with the determination of
the stockholders and trustees of the Lion
Mining company work was resumed in
drifting eastward on the 300-foot level of
the south vein on the 18th, with Il full crew
working ten hour shifts and the steam
drill, says the New Northwest. When de-
velopment work was suspended Foreman
Taylor had a splendid crew of men and it is
gratifying to nov that on notice of resump-
ton nearly all the old crew turned up and
were re-employed under the former fore
man and for the Lion company. The
progress with the steam drill was hereto
fore somewhat impeded by the small capac-
ity of the ore buckets. which in tramming
and twisting over 600 feet prevented the
car men from getting the rock away as fast
as the drill and powder could bring it
down Steel ore buckets of one-half greater
capacity have been ordered and will be at
the mine in a day or two. which will materi-
ally expedite the work which it is antici-
pated will now be pushed along four feet or
more every twenty -four hours. The 'lonp
pull for the junction of the veins has now
begun. Stockholders fully understand the
situation now and will not expect to hear of
q big strike until that point is cached.

WAGES N HOURS.

Carpenters and Contractors Have a Con-
ference Oh the Subject.
A joint meeting of a committee from the
Carpenters and Joiners' union and the
labor and arbitration committees of the
Builders and Manufactures exchange was
held at Electric hall last night. The OBJ
iect was to confer ON the subject of wages
and hours of labor. The contractors de-
sired to have some definite understanding
with the journeymen SO as to be able to
make contracts on a certain basis. The
meeting was private, but after the adjourn
ment it was stated that the proceedings
were entirely harmonious. The present
scale OF wages for carpenters is 40 cents an
hour, and a days work ten hours. 1t was
given out that the contractors showed nc
disposition to make any reduction in pay
and that the carpenters present seemed en-
tlrely satisfied with the present scale. The
carpenters committee, however, stated
that they had no authority to enter into
any agreement with the exchange, blu
would report to the union for it's authority
and for instructions. The matter of Jour
neymen taking sub-contracts was also dis
cussed. Those present, it is stated. were
willing to abandon the practice, but could
not answer for the others.

Yesterday Matheson d Co., closed a sale
of twenty eight lots in Eliston to Charles
II. Barber, a commercial traveller from Chi
cago. MIR. Barber, after looking the prop
erty over, concluded that at present low
prices Elliston property was a good invest
ment, and would rapidly grow into good
money. 1he success that has attended the
sale of Elliston property this spring is, no
doubt, due to the fact that shrewd investors
regard the future of Elliston as very PROM
ising. Its importance as an ore shipping
point continues to increase with the i'll
creased products of the numerous tributary
mines.
