Development work is still in progress, and
it is tho general opinion of mining mon in
Philipsburg that the vein will be again en-
countered.
T. q. Wood, president Of the Garnet
Gold Mining company, was in Pony this
week. MIR. Wood will return within sixty
days, when definite arrangements will be
made for the erection of a mill to work the
large amount of ore that this company
now have in sight. In the meantime, il
satisfactory arrangements can be made. a
Crawford mill will be put in the Carmen mill
building as q test, and il it does what ia
claimed for it, will be the process used BY
the Garnet company in their now mill.
This company ls very careful in it's man
agement and whatever process it finally de-
cidcs upon will without a doubt success
fully treat their ores.

A GREAT EXHIBIT.
Monster Silver Column From the Famous
Broken Hill Mine.

Monster Silver Column From the Famous
Broken Hill Mine.
In no building on the Worlds fair
grounds does the work of installation pro-
gress more rapidly or with better effect
thar in the hall of mines and mining. 1t
ia not so much the rattle of the hammer as
the clink of the trowel that is noticed there,
but that goes on almost ceaselessly. Men
from the different states and territories,
and from foreign countries, are loading up
their heavy mineral exhibits until the floors
almost crack. Great pyramids of glisten-
ing ores shoot up toward thu roof all over
the building, and in between are to be
placed the cases showing gold nuggets,
silver ingots and collections of precious
gems.
One of the most attractive exhibits is
that of the New South Wales colony, whose
commissioners claim that it is one of the
wealthiest mineral countries in the world.
The exhibit 10 built to attract attention and
is on the spectacular order. the managers
wisely concluding that it is bulk that takes
in eXpositions, whore the general public il
to be the judge. New South Wales, one OF
the most enterprising of the Australian
provinces, sent an enormous amount o!
stuff to the exnosition. the insurance value
of it being $3.50. 900. and a great part of tn,
bulk came to the mining section. There
were $500 packages of mineral, weighing
300 tons.
The most conspicuous thing in the e1-
hibit will be a silver column surmounted by
an atlas and globe. which stands at the
northeast corner Of the space. almost in
the center of the building. 1t is not to be
of solid silver, for 1t is thirty feet high, but
of staff silvered over with silver ingots. and
silver-bearing ores placed in handsome
cases at the bottom. Tn exhibit il from
the Broken Hill mine, the richest in Now
South Wales, and the thirty-foot column
represents a sixteenth of the bulk of actual
silver that has been taken from the mines
in seven Yeas. Tn total product of silver
has been sc. 800, 600 ounces, and the total
PRODUCT of lead from the mine l52, 900 tons.
The mine has a weekly average of 22O. 600
ounces of pure silver. There will be
smaller pyramids from the other silver
mines but none SO large rs the Broken Hill.
Next to the silver pyramid, along the
front of the space. will be Il column Of cop
per ingo.s. There are six tons of copper il
the column. which ia ten fest high and {
very handsome trophy. Next is a column
of anti,nony, then Il column of silvet-bear
ing ores from the British Broken Hill min'
and then a column of ingots of tin. Mid
way back in the space is a great tripl
arch, with four broad supporting columns

THE A SOLD.

A Good West Side Property Purchased
by Boston Capitalists.
The Gambetta mine was sold last Satur-
day to some Boston capitalists, says the
Inter Mountain. General John A. LsRgats
gave out this much news. but declined to
furnish any particulars. He said the price
WAS over 800. 900. and that he received a
first payment on the amount Saturday.
The sale has not been pending a long time.

Mr.. Leggatt does things up quick. The
sale will not affect the lease.
The mine is looking better thar il ever
did, Last week it was announced that a
body of ore had been encountered in the
bottom of the shaft and had been pene-
trated ten feet. This weeks report is that
the shaft has been put down twelve feet
farther and is still in the ore body, which
is widening with depth. Copper glance ore
is now being taken ont and it is as rich as
any yet discovered in the district. The
Gambetta is evidently a great little mine.

the name of Tony Moore This indi-
vidual with many aliases procured board

and was assigned a room in the Stuli "
Co building. On Friday morning Mr..

had suit of clothes stolen from his res
idence, and on Saturday night, between
the hours of and / o'clock the room
occupied by the Editor OF the YIRGINIAN
was entered and clothing and other ar
ticles the amount of $40 taken. Suspicion
fell upon this so-calied Patterson, = and
search for him was at once instituted.
