the aid of glass. He has ore from about
every mine in and around Landusky. Any
body who can look at his samples aud not
get the gold fever will have to have a
pretty strong will. Jake says il is q trifie
quiet in the Little Rockies right now,
| many of the miners being out wolfing,
that is killing coyotes and wolves for the
hides and bounty, but the coming sum-
mer he thinks will witness considerable
activity in the camp.
About the most promising m inc in the
camp, in fact. the one on which more
work has been done than any other, is the
| Gold Bug, which was recently bonded to
Mellock & Jacobs. They are working a
small force of men and at present have a
tunnel in about 2i5 and about 165 feet
below the surface. In the face of tho
workings is ore which runs from SOS to
$50 per ton in gold. The force on the
Gold Bug will be increased very soon and
regular shipments of ore TO Aurora, ILL.,,
will be made.
Jake has some samples of ore from the
August mine which are fairly crusted with
the yellow metal. He says some of that
ore runs as high as 5000 per ton. The
vein in the August is not yet very we'll de-
fined, otherwise it would be about the
richest minc in the world.
Samples of ore from the Hawkeye show
that to be very promising property too.
Last season three prospectors, Thomas
Carter, William Mckenzie and William
Edmunds, struck rich lead four miles
east of Landusky in Ruby gulct.. Jake
thinks there will be something of a stam-
pedc there next summer, or as soon as
the snow is gone SO the prospectors can
work.
There is no use of miners going away
off to South Africa" said Jake. "when
such a rich country as the Little Rockies
is at our doors. All the latter place wants
is about another years work on some of
the leading mines to establish for all time
to come the wealth of the camp

The 4-year-old son of E. A. Caufield had
a narrow escape from drowning in the
Missouri yesterday afternoon. Tho little
fellow ventured out on the thin ice near
the West Great Falls shore and broke
through in about three feet of water. He
sank twice and was going down the third
time when a neighbor, who heard the

rescue and saved the little fellow.
