The Lexington.

We visited this promising property
this week. The company acting as aids
de camp for the HERALD man were
Thos. PAUL, Dan Lenny, John Reynolds
and G. MCGOWAN. Mr.. Lenny, presi-
dent of the Lexington Consol. Min. Co.,
acted as guide for the company and
showed us around over the numerous
and varied workings. PAUL and Nc
Gowan are old miners, and they repeat
edly asserted that they never saw such a
network of leads in any country.
The property consists of three claims
Lexington, Mountain View and Union.
Fully Il dozen leads cross the property
all of them carrying silver and gold in
more or less paying quantities. The
Lexington is developed by Il drifting
tunnel n hundred feet long on what
appears to be its main lead. This eX-
poses twelve inches of galene ore in a
true fissure which carries over 40 per
cent lead. As lead is unusual in the
Snow creek country and as this is the
only ledge on the property where it is
found it is thought that no great dis
lance will see it disappear for a high
grade silver ore as is noticed in the Ben
ton. Every claim has more or less de-
velopement work done on it and has a
pile of ore on the dump. The company
will probably ship ore soon. Its ground
lies 600 feet west of the west line of the
Benton.

Electric Notes.

Neihart is the first town in the county
to light by electricity.
The arc lights will be in operation on
the streets in Il day or two.
Electric lights is IN advance step tow
ard metropolitan conditions. For three
nights entcrprising business men have
lighted by electricity.
Electric lights were turned on in the
stores on "Wednesday evening and about
fifteen arcs begun TO shed their resplen-
dent rays. The fine Rochester lamps of
yesterday are now rclegatcd TO a place in
the attic.
Electric lights are so bright on our
streets that a man after attending One of
the frequent balls, and paying for the
necessarieS to make the evening enjoy
able can easily see to count his change
by their refulgcnt ray.
Since electric lights are in use, more
beans are eaten per capita than ever be-
fore. This statement is backed by stat
istics and goes to prove that metro
pOlitan ideas and aesthetic tastes are fast
getting the ascendency among a fair
minded people.

toward the town and could see but yer,
little of it as we were not near enough
to the edge to get a full view. So WI
set out on the ridge Of rock toward the
direction of the edge which would give
us the desired view, This point was
quite Il distance from where we were
and no so high up. After much climb
ing we came to a place where some
p%rospector had dug a deep hole. The
rock was thrown about on all sides and
apparently some blasting was done
which revealed to our eyes the ledge.
We were since informed that the
claim was called Jack the Ripper. We
had no desire to take a lease on the
property and so pushed on toward the
town. On looking ahead of and below
us we noticed on a staff waving in the
breeze the stars and stripes, plant
ed firmly among the rocks and in full
view of the town. We were now down
nearly two hundred feet from the place
where we started, but from the town it
appears to be the highest point on Bal.
dy. This flag can be seen from the
town by looking carefully in the direct
ion indicated.
Now we had to make the journey
and we did so by making a
short cut toward the Snow creek divide.
The mountain is s o steep at this point
that we feared to make the attempt, vet
We knew it had to be done and SO we
set out keeping our eyes fixed OF the
rocks ahead, This part of the journey
was safely made and the town was
reached in the due course of time.
Tired was no name for it, our legs and
backs simply ached but still we were
happy and felt the victory gained.
There is no. better place for one to get
the lay of the camp and a knowledge of
where the large mines are located. The
trip to the Snow Creek divide we recon-
mend to everybody that can stand the
feeling that they will be fully
for their trouble.

A great many of our citizens were
astonishcd last Sunday when it became
known that on the previous evening
VIM. Mueller had disposed of his large
stock of merchandise to the Sweeney
Bros, David and John. Mr.. DaviC
Sweeney has been employed about two
wears in connection with this store and
in that time has not only learned the ms
and outs of the business, but has estab-
lished Il reputation for stcadfastness,
honesty, integrity and good report be-
sides gaining the esteem and confidence
of his employer. His brother John is
one of the pioneers of Neihart, too well
known to require special commentator.
But his life acts, so far as they are
known, have everything in their connec-
ton to recommend him to the good grace
of any people. Having known these
brothers for some time we take pleasure
in speaking III gladness at their success
and our confident hope that they will
prosper.
VIM. Mueller has been allied with the
town for seven years, in the merchandise
business. He has seen the camp through
ups and downs, through prosperity, adj
verSity and even calamity. He has seen
the place when clouds of despair obscured
every ray of sunshine and when the
strongest heart failed. He is one of
those rare men that win by their Unborn
perseverance and who stay with %invinci-
BILE determination, never to yield but by
necessity. He has accumulated much
property and many interests which will
occupy his time in future. He has never
of his town but in praise,
and has acquired a name for magnam-
and public spiritedness above his
He leaves the store in good hands
and carries friendships with him that
will last for all time. BY a marked in
dividuality, strong character and a high
business standing he has lent stability
and credit to the business status of the
and has stamped a public sentiment
among the citizens that will never die.

MINE and PROSPECT
Matters of Recent Interest in Drifts
and Levels-Ore To
Be Shipped.
New Of the Coming Butte.
The Benton Group.

This group of mines is beautifully 10
Gated, heading up as it does in a draw
of the mountains at the foot of Lone
Badly, as if nature had done all sh'
could to expose the ore and thereby save
expense in getting at and working the
valuable property. From the spo'
where the tunnel enters the side of the
mountain, Long Badly is very precipi-
tous, rising, as it does above fireworks
a distance of over one thousand feet. II
can readily be seen what great advant-
ages there are in tunneling. The great
depth that can quickly be obtained and
the vast amount of money saved. The
company AS yet have not had to erect Il
large hoist house and buy expensive
machinery which is necessary in deep
mining. They will not be required to
do this for years to come.
Most mines in a granite formation can
not be worked successfully without a
vast outlay of money on the start a.
mounting to not less than 100000.
which is a barrier to men with small
capital. With the "Benton" no such
outlay was needed, the owners can take
out all the ore that is necessary to pay
expenses end besides do a vast amount
of dead work. This company is now
running a tunnel through country rock
to cut the Flora vein which is con-
sidered the largest that can be traced on
the surface of their ground. The tunnel
is at present in 900 feet and it is
thought will not reach the vein before
next spring.
The owners have without doubt the
richest prospect in Montana. All
through the first class ore can be found
ruby silver, chloride and telluride of
gold and brittle silver. People hearing
of the rich reports from this mine will
not readily believe them and to such all
that is necessary is for them to visit the
works and then they will be convinced
of their truth; seeing is believing.
Thus far the work done has been of Il
prospecting nature and also to save eX-
pense. No expensive tunnel has been
run and no expensive work in timbcring
done. The owners have had in mind
simply the quickest and least expensive
way of getting at the ore. Now that
they are getting out the vast treasure
and money is rolling in to the company
better and more costly work has been
lately commenced. They have gone
down further on the mountain and start
ed a tunnel which is ) X s feet in size.
Timbering of the best quality is in pro-
gress and are informed that there will be
no better tunnel in any mine in Mont.
when it is completed. This tunnel
will work the whole mine. AT the
present time they are in about $50
feet. When train service is resumed the
company will ship two car loads of ore
to the Great Falls smeltcr.

Unmitigated Meekness.

The Neihart base ball club will give
the Barker boys a chance to regain the
honors they lost and twice if they desire
it. If in any quality above another Mel
hart people excel it is in that meek self
sacrifice and modest unselfishness that
wouldn't even eat at a%nOther's expense,
will marshal the clans to do up
Barker again, for we are meek and low
ly in heart.

James S. Gordon and DR.. Vidal camp
ed at the .Sluice Box canyon a few days
this week and came home with a cargo
of most thrilling fish yarns, lasting per
ceptibly longer than fish, as warm wealth
er doesn't have the same disintegrating
effect upon them. As they each claim
to have gained Is pounds by their out
ing the supposition is that they were
weighed while carrying the basket of
fish.
John S. Cook and wife, Miss Mary
Hamilton and E. X. Abbott went into
the Tillinghast this week with a full
camping outfit and spent two days
among the fish and berries along the
stream. They report having had a good
time and returned with enough fish to
prove their story.
Dan. Lenny went a-angling this week
just to see if he had forgotten his former
skill in the art. He caught 43 trout
that weighed exectly a pound apiece, but
as his contract was only for 40 pounds
he was forced to throw away part of his
lucky catch.
