LIVINGSTON. Monts Oct 25-In this
year OF great mining finds it is hard TO
make a discovery whiehs surprises the
people any more. 1t IS safe to say, how
ever, that twenty miles south of Living
ston, on the Boulder, has been opened up
one of the richest bunch of claims known
to mining experts Gold crops out all over
the mountain side, and runs all the way
from 81 to $100 a ton, there being free
milling ore enough in, sight to keep mills
running fifty years. AID. .McNulty, presi-
dent of the Observation-Disclosures company,
came in from his Gains few days ago,
and speaks in the most enthusiastic terms
of the outlook Interested with him are
several Milwaukee gentlemen, and others
of st. Paul, including Norman Perkins,
superintendent of mails for the Tenth
district, and George F. Clifford.

plenty of timber near. 1t viii not take
much money to get good results, and the
character of the ore is such that even
without these other advantages we
You an assay which we had made a week
or tive ago" said Mr. McNulty producing
a certificate. 1T shows that the miner
alogist of the University of Minnesota
has selected rock from the tunnel OF the
Atlantis claim, and the quartz found
there has assayed $1,000 per ton, and the
float rock found on the claims assayed
81 per ton.
Now, I don't mean to say that this is
n 10 he
said Mr.. McNulty. There is plenty of
rock that will assay a great deal more
than that, and there are plenty of good
claims there besides the ones we have
purchased. What I have said is taking
the Boulder country as whole from
what | know of our claims in particular.
The ore in the Boulder country is a part
of the granulated quartz, is as free
from base ore as can be found any
where. There is no arsenic or sulphur or
lead in the mines there, and very little
of what mill men call tale a soapy sub
stance found in milled ore
I'VE have lately taken out a Cammett
table, a kind of ccncentrator, and we viii
work that during the winter under Mr.
Dcnnelly's direction. There is one of
these tables in operation in Cowles, camp
and they are meeting with great success
there. We have plenty of ore to go to
work on. There are at least fifty places
on our ten claims where the ore crops
out III quality rich enough to pay for
working. The assay we had made was
based on ore taken from five feet below
the surface. The ore in the Boulder
country is in true fissure veins. They go
to an interminable depth and grow richer
as they descend. In fact there is no
fault to find with the ore in the Boulder
1t is as good as l have ever seen. The

Deadwood, although of immense body,
only runs about 81 to the ton and in
Mercur, Utah, where a cyanide plant is
in operation and paying large dividends,
the ore only assays $3.50 per ton.
"a cyanide plant would work admir-
ablv in the Boulder" said Mr.. McNulty
in answer to question. The ore there
responds very promptly to the actor! of a
leech. am sure nearly every stamp mill
which will be erected there will have a
chemical process as an adjunct They are
great help in refractory ores, and, of
course. will take hold of free milling ore
very much better than that which is base.
Our mines are situated southeast of
Contact. about twenty miles from Living
stor by the new road We will let the
contract in few days for a road from
the new road to our mines, and have all
ready by spring for the operation of the

will do some good. We will spend about
$50 OGA in the next six months, and that
will nut the mill on a paving basis easily.
We have wood and water near at hand,
are close to town. and it will be all down
hill from the mine to the mil, so the
