from SG2.l7 to $ll5 per ton, free milling.
About 40 tons of ore has been taken out
ready for milling. The company Is pre-
pairing for "A stamp mill and ore crush
ing machinery next month. Hosting ma
chinery and ore cars have been forward
ed to the Gold Bar mine, and men are at
work taking out free milling ore that as
says $l6S per ton. Two veins OF Is inches,
in close proximity, are being worked,
with indications that they will become
united at greater depth" MIR. Stacy says
$l0,8O0 in nuggets has been taken from
the top of this ledge by the hydraulic pro

For the past 10 or IL years prospectOrs
have been tramping over portion OF the
country west of Maiden, Mont, that has
been covered with what appeared to be
porphyry. pure and simple, but a
thorough test of this rock shows it to be
a certain kind of granite with por-
phyritic tendency and shows an average
of $500 in gold per ton. The rock Is
perfect slide, and is so broken up that no
mining is necessary, as the pieces are,
many of them very small, thus enabling
it to be milled at small cost. There
have been four claims taken up, two OF
which are owned by F. w. Flint, and 1T
is estimated that on Mr.. Flints property
alone there are between 100000 and s.
900 900 tons in sight. Mr.. Flint also owns
two valuable cyanide propositions and 4
mill site, directly opposite these new
claims, and is at present negotiating for
a lOO-ton mill to be erected on his prop
erty. This new find promises to be first
class cyanide ore and will net the party
building mill at least 1915 per ton.
dicate in this property, as he has ample
facilities for accommodating two large
plants on his ground. Sample assays run
81, Sc and $3.50, while general samples
show $3.50, 81 and $50 in gold-no cop
per and no silver.
Swauk Mine bonded.
Frederic Hageman of Tacoma, repre-
senting wealthy Colorado syndicate has
got a bond of the First of August and
Golden Ridge quartz mines in the Swauk
district for $4,000 for six months. Num-
erous other claims in the vicinity have
been bonded by the same syndicate, but
as the Flodin property is the best de-
Veloped in camp most of the interest
hovers about it. A peculiar feature of
the mine is that the slate walls for %
feet on each side of the ledge carry gold
to the amount of $l5 per ton. This fact
was ascertained but recently, and, as Mr..
Hageman says, will make the Swauk one
of the gold fields of the day. BY the
written agreement development work on
an extensive scale is to begin immediate
ly and be kept up till the bond expires.
The most improved boring and lifting ma
chinery is to be put in, and stamp mill
will take the place of the double arastras
by which the gold has heretofore been
crushed out.
On Granite Mountain.
The Granite Mountain Gold and Cop
per Mining Company of New Denver, Ida
no. controls a number of claims on the
celebrated Granite mountain, about six
miles west of Keuterville, and one mile
from the mouth of the Salmon river, and
also owns the water right on Deep creek,
with bitches already constructed a total
of 500 feet, furnishing all the water power
needed for development work on the
mine. The ore is called goldcopper, run
ming, mill test, from 20 to 30 per cent
copper and about So in gold to the ton,
with traces of silver. A shaft has been
sunk 38 feet on the vein, which shows
seven feet of ore at the bottom, with the
foot wall not in sight.
Purchased silver Bell No. 2.
f. Lewis Clark and Charles Sweeney
have obtained a controlling interest in the
Silver Bell No. 2 of SLOGAN district for
$4,000. The cash was paid for the prop
erty yesterday. Silver Bell No. is said
to be promising high grade proposition,
the development of which has been retard-
ed by disagreement among the owners.
To Let Contract for Tunnel
+. j. Kelley, former manager of the
LIE Roi, has gone to Kaslo to let a con
tract for 1000 feet of tunnel work on the
properties of the SLOGAN and Liberty
Hill Mining Company. The owners ex-
pect that this tunnel will crosscut ID
well defined lodges, and the company,
which includes number of Spokane
investors, is expecting great results.
