A Mining Deal.

1t is currently reported that a deal
has been closed on the Old Bill gold
property, five miles northwest of Gus
ter, with Colorado parties represented
by l.. B. Parker. The consideration is
not made public, but it is known to be
close to S30,O00.00. A mill test is now
being made on Old Bill ore at the
Marsh & Alexander mill at Four Mile,
which we understand is proving highly
satisfactory. The Whitley c~oncentrator
which is used leaves nothing to be de-
sired in the way of concentration. A
force Of seven men are now at work at
the Old Bill mine retimberiDg the old
shaft, erecting a shaft house and build
ings for the miners to be employed. A
steam hoist and pump will be put on
the mine at once with a capacity for
sinking 500 feet. A new stamp mill
will be erected as o o as possible at
Oreville, four miles distant from the
mine. The ore from the mine will be
taken to the mill by the B. & M. rail
road from near Berne station.
Mr.. Parker and associates are to be
congratulated on their success in secur
ing for their innitial venture such ar
excellent property as the Old Bill IL
known to be. MY. Parker is now nego
tiating for other good properties in thi,
locality, and it is highly probable tina
deals represented by six figures will b.
closed soon.

Looks Like DISCRIMINATION.

Papers have been served on the man
ayers of the Bismarck mill, enjoining
them from using timbers for mining
purposes, besides some 1900 or 2OOO
cords ofdry wood, all of which they had
cut last fall and most of the timbers
have been delivered at the mine.
What seems the strangest part Of the
whole business is that this action
should be taken now after the company
have complied with the instructions
they received from the timber warden
and forest ranger in this district. Tim
Der Inspector Green had the papers
served. 1t looks to a man up a tree as
though there was too much red tape and
monkey work connected with the tim
Der business here. One would suppose
that after this timber was cut in compll-
ance with instructions received from
the General Land Office at Washington
the company would be allowed to use II
without being molested. The Holy
Terror company here had thousands o.
cords cut under the same ruling anc
have had il hauled and burned it II

pie had their wood cut and left it in thu
woods until they should be ready to us'

so. Why this discrimination key
