MINING NOTES.
While the prospect for railroad com
munication this season in the Buffalo
Hump district does not seem to be very
promising, the reports from the mining
districts are more than flattering.
1t is reported that one of the greatest
strikes ever made in the country was
in the Golconda mine last week, when
several feet of free gold ore was dis
covered in the 250-foot level
Another dividend being anxiously
awaited at Butte is that of the Boston
& Montana, $40 per share, which is not
due until August 81, but it is thought
it will be more than $40, probably SIS
or $40. In spite of it's many lawsuits
the company is waxing more and more
prosperous.
Clark & Sweeny are pushing develop
ment work on the Jumbo in the Buffalo
Hump, on which they have a bond, and
the latest workings show three feet of
800 ore.
While reports from the Buffalo
Hump district are pleasing to those in
terested it is deeply regretted that the
Big Buffalo group is Indefinitely tied
up in litigation.
Four men are employed developing
the Elzora, the big silver and lead
property on the reservation, three
miles from Bossburg. An incline work

cades, but which is usually accounted

probably be done within the next year
Another big strike is reported in the
/ Mayfower district, Montana it being
in the West or Owsley Mayfower mine

Weatherby- Bonanza mine, in the
Chicken Greek district of eastern Ore
gon.

front is evidenced by the lively interest
there
