OTIS who have figured on going to Alaska
in the spring are now discussing the pos
sibilities Of these more accessible fields,
The MayAower.
The MayflOwer mine, in Madison coun.
ty, Montana, is now the greatest producer
of the state. Last year it produced about
$o5O,OOO, but this year even if the present
rich ore, body holds out it will not Weld
more than 100000. The introduction of
the cyanide process in many old districts
in Montana this season will have an
important bearing on the output of next
year. In many portions of the state there
are bodies Of low-grade ore which, it is
thought, can be proftably worked by this
process.
Around KasIo.
The output Of the Payne mine is about
76 tons of ore per Jay. Its shipments are
divided between the Everett and Pueblo
smclters. The new three.track tramway
for the Payne is well under way and will
be one and half miles long. The Reco
ships 60 tons per week to Omaha. The
output will be greatly increased when the
rawhiding season opens The Montezuma
concentration, on the south fork of Kaslo
creek, is fast nearing completion, and
machinery for it is arriving daily.
In the Greenwood Camp.
Patsy Clark has bonded the Snowshot
claim, Greenwood camp, under a bond
which calls for continuous work, com
mencing within 10 days. The amount O.
the bond is $4,000, payable one third il
six months and the balance in equal in

Goat Creek Mines.
Goat creek mines are situated on tn
upper Methow, about SO miles from tn
Columbia river. Active work commences
in this district two years ago, and ha
been steadily developing the differen
claims. Each years work shows grea
improvement in quality of ore as create
depth is reached. The ore is principall
pyrite, similar to the Rossland district
and is a concentrating proposition, a
though there is considerable free millin
, ore in places.
