always classed among the low grad
mines, classification which at tha
time was just one, as the mine neye
paid and after checkered career ex
tending over considerable length o.
time, was finally closed down and re
mained imperative for o number oi
years. Recent developments, it seems
have resulted in the discovery of ore
bodies the existence of which was not
thought Of.
GOLD GALORE.
There is more gold disseminated
through the rocts of the Black Hills"
observed certain mining man to the
Pioneer man, than the world has
mined since the Angel Of the Lord
prospected for gold upon the Plson
river in the land Of Huvilah." And
proceeded to prove it as follows !:
Doubtless many persons think that when
the so-called potsdam ores in Ruby
Basin are exhausted that camp is done
for, but such. he said, is not the case
lie compared those ores, the siliCeous
speak. He further explained that the
potsdam ore bodies are a secondary
deposition derived almost immediately
from the underlying states, and from
deposits similar in all respects to the
Homestake. In one of the largest
mines in Ruby Basin the ore in some
places rests directly upon the slates.
If this were all, it would not be a matter
of much importance, but the states be-
low are ore bearing also, the ore bodies
being identically the same rs those
Of the Homestake and other Belt mines.
The Pioneer wishes this idea to be fully
grasped by its readers. At the High
land, Deadwood-Ter and other Lead
City and nearby mines, are found
siliceous ores resting upon the under
lying free-millIng ores This identical
relation exists in several places, so our
authority states. In Ruby Basin, and
that the underlying free-milling ores
are of the same grade as those of the
Belt miies-say from four to six dollars
per ton. Ruby Basin will at present
rates supply us with siliceous ores for
fifty years but no one need to be sur
prised if free milling gold ores are also
mined there In the next few years upon
scale now little guessed at. 1t has
been estimated by competent authority
that certain mining company has
prospected sixty acres-that it has
mined out twelye-and produced three
million dollars. Also, that the camp
contains five thousand acres. Now il
twelve acres produced three millions
five thousand acres will produce 1880.
600, ,000-(twelye hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars).
Now, this sum, before which imagin'
alton fails, if our authority above men
toned be correct, is but the drift" OF

down few hundred feet from the
underlying slate deposits! Ifone want;

PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Chandler's Anti-Gambling Bill Is Iadorsed BY
the Upper House.

HELENA, Feb. 6.-The feature of
the past few days in the Legislature
was the passage of Chandler's much
talked of anti-gambling measure by
the senate. The gamblers had
strong lobby provided with a large
fund and it was feared this influence
would be felt, but the senators evil

preferred financial assistance and
passed the measure by a vote of Il
to 4, those voting against the bill
being, Bowlen, Campbell. Floweree,
Hoffman. Hurd, Power and Sigh
In committee of the whole the
measure was recommended for pas
sage by the close vote of IL to9.
Senator Chandler's speech upon
the measure is spoken of by the
Herald as being the effort of his life.
While the entire address is not pub
lished the Independent gave space to
the following:
The former motion that the COM
mittee report the bill favorably was
offered by Senator Greene. and Sena-

Senator Chandler spoke briefly i'm be-

and contains in it's upper part two
small piano-conveX lenses, placed at a
distance apart equal to their focal

are engraved two lines parallel to the

scope is rotated 80 to 100 turns a sec
ond, and the horizontal is obtained by
observing the position of the figures
described by these lines as the lenses
resolve.
