IS STRONG WITH HOPE

THE NEW CONCENTRATOR
A Wealth Of Fin Orc in the Queen of

Will Give 1t q Thorough
Investigation.

Of the Neihart Miner contains an arti-
Gle which is strong with hope for the flu
ture Of the camp and the immediate
building of a concentration there. In
speaking of the visit Of mining men to
the camp mentioned previously in
these columns. il says this:
Friday afternoon, when w. q. Conrad,
Kyle Price, j. T. Stanford and b. b.
Kelley. accompanied by a practical con-
contractor man. d. X. Peeler of Kalispell,
visited the Queen Of the Hills mine, a
Miner reporter was cordially invited to
accompany them. which he did. Mr..
Peeler came over with the int Of
sampling the mine and making elabo-
rate tests right here. but the ,ath.r
was so stormy and SO much snow on
the dumps, which they also wished to
test, that the testing was postponed,
and Mr.. Peeler will come W. later and
spend 10 days doing work that we have
no doubt whatever will result in the
Queen company putting in a concen-
traitor. Mr.. Peeler is a practical min
ing man of 20 years experience; has
been identified with a large number or
progressive enterprises In this state r
is the person who put In the stamps AT
the Drum Lummon mine We believe
we violate no confidence when we say
that he told the owners after inspection
that they had a wonderfully big mine
there; nor when he told the Miner re-
porter that they had hundreds of thou
sands of tons of fine concentrating ore
With such a wealth of ore. the Queen
owners would not be the practical bust
ness men they are given credit Tor II
they did not take advantage or their
opportunity and put in a concentration

and we have not the slightest doubt
but that they will do 1t just as soon as
they decide upon the proper method 70
be employed. In their case there Will be
no rushing around by the citizens TO
buy a site. raise money, etc, to help
the enterprise, but they will go ahead
without saying 1, yes or no to anyone.
We want more such enterprising people
in this town, and they will be given
our hearty moral support without the
asking.
If anyone not acquainted with the
camp think we have no basis upon
which to stand let him peruse the fol-
owing list IF mines and p: "s poets, Sc
lected at random. and by no means a
full one. that, with the exception OF the
Queen and Broadwater, are not being
worked:
There is the Dakota. with an ore
+ chute known, of LOO feet. from Z TO Il
feet wide, that goes strong In lead.
The London, with an ore bCdy So
feet long known. from IA to 20 feet wide
The Ingersoll, with an ore chute OF
nearly 1000 feet, four to six feet wide
of fine concentrating ore.
The Queen. as before stated, with 1t:
hundreds of thousands of tons of con
centrating ore.
The Gait, capable of furnishing lO'
tons per day for years, already blocked
out.
The Nevada, with lots of ore on th'
dump and lots more inside that can b'
hoisted for concentrating purposes, tina
will not pay to ship at present prices o
silver.
The Broadwater, with thousands ano
thousands of tons of ore that some peo
pie claim can inc others claim can no
be concentrated. of which elaborate test
have never been made.
The Moulton. already proved to be
concentrating proposition and ore N
plenty to run a 100-ton concentrator 10
an indefinite period.
Among the prospects may be nen
toned the Lizzie. Hartley, Peabody
Rochester. Compromise. Black damon
group and hundreds of others that ar
not developed as much, but with low
grade ore in sight.
