W Bridges. Sept. 11.-Lou Planalp
was in town this week attending to a
big shipment of ore to the Colorado
smelter at Butte. The ore came from
the property of Filing. Baker & Nc
Kay, lear the Noble mine in Noble
gulch. The property is being worked
under a lease by the Planalp boys,
Whishman and Kleitz.
The property in Goodrich gulch
worked by Joe Albert is proving a
good producer, and MI. Albert. the
lessee, is preparing for another ship
ment. He was in Twin Bridges this
week rustling teams to convey the ore
to the depot. The claim is situated
near the well-known Carolina mine,
which is owned by Senator Hoffman
and others of Bozeman.
The mill at the Montana mine, on
Wisconsin creek, will start the coming
week, the machinery for it having left
mere this week. This property, the
montana mine, has had a varied ex-
perience since it's discovery some Is
years ago.. Plenty of good ore has been
found at different times and the mill
has dropped stamps at different periods,
but without returning hardly expenses.
The group consists of four claims and
is owned by Eastern capitalists, who
until two years ago did no work ex-
ceptlng the representing. About that
time IL men were put to work, and
considerable ore vas extracted and
run through the mill, but only a small
per cent could be saved. 1t is under
stood that with the improved machin-
cry JUST put in place a niue larger
per cent can be saved, and IL so the
montana group will rank with the best
OF them as a producer.
