a good deal of assessment work will

Last Friday evening a large crowd of
our ci liens assembled in Mue's hall to
meet II. }. Powers, who was on hand in
response to an invitation to lay before
the meeting a detailed account of his
proposition for the erection of a quartz
mill at this point. The meeting lasted
fol- several hours, during which the
merits of the proposition were thorough
ly discussed. That Mr.. Powers will
soon begin the construction of his mill
seems an assured fact. The town offers
to donate him a mill site to cost about
$4,000 and to relieve him from municipal
taxation upon the property. The mill is
to cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,
to be equipped throughout with the lat
est improved machinery, and to have a
capacity OF thirty tons a day, with suf-
ticlent power to increase this capacity
to 100 tons per day. The building will
be about 2OOX225 feet, and will give
employment to forty-tive skilled laborers
at wages ranging from S3 to - per day.
The cost of reduction vii! range:from so
20 Sll per ton. Mr.. Powers states that
the camp is capable of producing sutii-
cicnt ore to keep a half-dozen mills in
constant operation. The negotiations
will probably be closed this week and
the erection of the mill at once COM
menced.
The growth of the camp has been long
retarded by the lack of facilities for re,
duction, and o that a mill seems an
assured fact everyone looks forward
confidently to the future growth aud
prosperity Of Neihart. There is no doubt
that it this mill is built, it will be speed
lily followed by several others, and that
the production of ore wall be correspond
ingly stimulated until Neihart will be
come one of the great mining camps of
Montana.
