The Keystone Cleanup.

We are reliably informed that
the cleanup at the keystone mine
on the Yahk, on the 10Th, resulted
in the production of gold brick
valued at about $1,000. This is the
result of a Boston run through
their stamp mill. The result is
entirely satisfactory to the owners.
1t is probable that they will shortly
increase the capacity of their mill to
20 stamps. They have ore enough
blocked out now to keep 2O-stamp
mill running for two years. The
development of the Keystone is
giving other property holders in
that camp much confidence in the
camp.

A. L. Jameson, Philip Casey, Lou
Boyker, II. NJ. Casey and Capt. G.
R. Gray executed a bond of $50, 900
on their Fort Steele properties to
S. S.Bailey of Spokane.
There are four claims embraced
in the transaction-the Great
Northern, the Argenta, the Del
Norte and another. They are To-
Gated on He'll Roaring Creek,
tributary of the ST. Maries, in the
East Kootenai division of BIC.
They are galena propositions, all on
the same lead, which shows up
good and strong. About $500
worth of development work has
been done on the Del Norte. The
ore is very fair grade, and, with
the building of the Crows Nest
Pass road, there is no doubt of the
value of the mine, and little doubt
that the bond will be taken up.
A substantial cas- payment is
made, which will secure an option
to July 1, 1897, All the payments
are to be made within year.
All the parties executing the
bond are home people, in every
way worthy of the good luck which
seems to theirs, and the HERALD
congratulates them each upon their
success.
