in durance vile. She is psralyzed

three bullet holes through her

this is the second attempt that the

HiIlsboro Mines and Mills.

-Supt. Williams OF the Wicks
Gold Mining Company has leased
the ten stamp mill on the Percha
at the mouth OF Ready Pay Gulch
and is preparing IL for immediate
operation. He will commence
with the Wioks mine dump, or
the screenings thereof, and 10 con-
structing a chute for delivering
the stuff direct into the wagons.
In the meantime Mr. W iiiisms
will DO prepared to handle any
custom work and 10 contemplating
a w per ton rate TO meet the
timos and to encourage and pro-
mote mining IN this district.
w. W. Williams, the present
manager of the Wicks Gold Min
ing Company, was formerly in
charge Of one OF tho largest and
most improved mills in the state
Of Montana, and is a man OF
recognized experience and ability.
Richmond mine has a large
amount OF ore on the dumps for
milling. The recent heavy rains
Ia that vicinity have damaged
the roads to some extent and other
wise interfered with the regular
delivery of the ore.
The usual search, after a big
rain, for gold nuggets III the placer
district was rewarded the other
day with one of $22 value and
several small ones.
The Eighty-Five mine shaft
was completed this week to the
depth OF 425 feet, and the woik OF
blocking out a station and cross
cutting to the ore will proceed.
Before further sinking OF the
shaft drifts will be run out both
ways on the vein.
1t IL probable that the Snake
shaft contract OF 150 feet will be
awarded tomorrow. A large
number OF bids were rendered.
BY purchase from T. Scsnlon
OF the Presidential group OF miner,
Barney Martin becomes owner OF
the most valuable undeveloped
property in this district. and We
may expect from his energy and
enterprise to see these elaine soon
brought into prominence as pay
ing mines.
