MAMMOTH GOLD MINING COMPANY

:. Valuable Gold Property in Which Sew
sral Deer ',odge a1en Are Interested
Several months ago Il mining company
was formed in Deer Lodge for the pur-
pose Of taking hold of a gold property in
Washoe district, over the range from
Bear gulch, near Sunset, and known as
the Mammoth lode. The stockholders
held meeting in Deer Lodge and elected
]. +. Van Gundy president and Edward
Scharnikow secretary, with the following
board OF trustees: J. L, Van Gundy, V.
B. McQueston, G, G. Eckert, Ed Schar-
nikoW and Ed. Simpson. The capital
stock OF the company, which is known as
the Mammoth Gold Mining company, was
placed at $300,000, every share of which
has been taken. A large portion Of this
stock is held by Eastern capitalists and
none will be placed upon the market.
The Eastern stockholders sentollt experts
to examine the property and they found
and reported the same to be better
than represented.
After some delay in getting the title
and other matters satisfactorily settled
the company got to work in earnest on its
property a few days ago Ed. Simpson,
superintendent of the company, now has
u force OF men engaged in putting up
buildings and getting everything in shape
10 begin work as soon as spring opens.
Several thousand dollars have already
been spent in developing the property.
One of the trustees is now in the East
and machinery for a ten stamp mill has
been ordered, which will be shipped to
Bearmorth, the nearest railroad point
and distant about twelve miles from the
mine. lis the intention to have this
mill up and ready for operation in early
spring.
The property owned by the Mammoth
company is Il valuable gold lode. They
have large vein Of ore which runs from
SS0to 500. Several tempting offers have
recently been made for the property by
Eastern syndicates, but all have been re-
fused. The Deer Lodge gentlemen who
are interested in it have been working
for months to get Eastern capital to take
hold Of the property. They have sue
ceeded at last; ample funds will be fur
nished, and the future looks bright for
lle IlAllllil0lll.
