Of MINE INSPECTOR
1t Shows a Marked Improvement in the Min
ing Industry of the State.

The report of the state mine inspector.
John Byrne, for 1899, tells of a promising
development of the mining industry in
Montana and points out where there may
be further improvement. He makes some
recommendations looking to the better
protection of the men engaged in min
ing in Montana, among them the appoint
ment of a commission of five, represent
ing the men and the owners, to draft avs
suitable and to present them to the legis-
lature at it's next session for enactment.
The report gives the statistics of acct
dents and an appendix gives the details
of all the accidents. The report says:
by reason of the enactment by the
Sixth Legislative assembly of a law pro-
viding for the printing Of the reports of
state officers once in two years, which
shall he in THE month Of December prior
to the converting of the regular session
OF the legislature, nc attempt will be
made in this report to review the mines
inspected within the year in detail. 1
"A comparison of the mining industry
during the year 1899 with previous years
exhibits a marked improvement. More.
mines are in operation, a greater number
of men employed, better methods and re-.
suits IN the mining, smelling, milling, cy-
anldlng and the combination of these and
other processes which are being applied
to the recovery of values contained in the
ores of this state. The results of the i'm
provements in this direction are of meal
culable benefit to the chief industry OF
our state. for not only is the productive
area of the regular producing lodes in
creased in consequence, but several old
mines, after a long period of inactivity,
have again resumed operations and are
yielding handsome profits from a class of
ores that We're worthless to their early
operators.

should the old properties that have re-
sumed prove a success, and I am reason
confident they will, the precious
metal output from that county will be
materially increased and the community
IN which they are located benefited by
the employment of at least one hundred

SAPPHIRE MINING,
Fergus county has in it's Yogo sap
phire mines earned the distinction of sue
cessfully developing the first mine that
produces precious stones. The quality of
the sapphires found in this deposit, I am
reliably Informed, is equal to any on the
market. The success attending the oper-
atoms of the Gilt Edge gold mines has
revived interest in several of the par
TALLY developed properties of that dis
trict, capital has been enlisted for their
further development and the plans are
under way for their equipment with the
necessary mining and reduction plants.
'Ihe future for mining in Park county
IS most assuring, with transportation ia
cllitles the New World district will COM
pete in production with the older organ
lzed sections. The Bear Gulch mines. in
the ~Sheepeater district, nave resumed
active operations. Development is going
forward rapidly and on a scale which viii
insure a heavy output. The milling CO.
paclty has been increased by the addition
or a modern mill of 40 stamps with con-
centratlng accessories. AS a result of the
successful opening of those mines, inter-
est has been reused in that district in n
marked degree. Boulder n Indepen-
dence districts are also attracting atten-
ton and though but a limited amount of
exploration has beer done, it has proven
that many of the lodes a be profitably
worked.

COUNTY.

BASIN district, in Jefferson county, Is
actlVely preparing for the resumption Of
operations on a large scale. The property
or the Boston & Bay State company is
now equipped with a mining. concentrate
ING n smelling plant which comprises
Inc latest improvements in the respective
departments. The c~oncentrator has Il
capacity of 500 tons per day and the smell
Ter 1870 tons. The various plants are pro-
Vlded with every necessary adjunct cal
cuiated to promote the largest degree Of
economy. consistent with the highest ef-
iclency. Systematic development is
being pushed al the Hope mine. In the
past operations of this property consid-
cradle OF the values were lost by reason
OF the method applied to their recovery
not being suitable. Realizing this. the
present management ave undertaken to
repair the errors of their predecessors in
this respect, and various tests are now
being made on the quartz with a view
to determining the process which will
max the best saving of values. The sue
cess of the mine largely depends on how
much OF the values contained in the
quartz can be recovered and the cost of
manipulating the process employed in the
act. Such a process must necessarily be
efficient n comparatively inexpensive
in operation. because, While it Is true that
large bodies of .high-grade ore have been
in the course of past devei-
Opmeni. and no reason exists why as good
bodies may not again be discovered, yet
the success or failure OF the property
rests upon the ability to utilize the i'm
mense body Of low-srade quartz found in
the mine.
IN NORTHWESTERN MONTANA.
Considerable Advancement has been
made during the year in the Libby and
West Fisher districts of Flathead county.
Besides the Snowshoe mine, which has
been steadily producing. the Shaughnessy
Hill properties, located 10 miles south Of
Libby, were started. These mines were
transferred to a strong in the
early part Of the year. Since acquiring
control, large expenditures have been
made in opening UP the veins and in the
erection of a concentrating plant. There
can be little doubt of the success OF this
enterprise. which was subjected to a
severe and thorough examination before
the ransfer was effected. Several of the
gold-bearing deposits On West Fisher
creek have commenced producing. a 10
stamp mill is already in operation. and
another Is in course of construction. Both
are intended to treat the product of
claims which can supply ore In sufficient
quantity to keep the mills In constant

were actively exploited during the year.
The further explorations carried on in
Butte district have developed no change
In either the quality of the ores or the
size of the lodes. On the contrary. they
have been added to largely by discoveries
made in developing new ground. TIL sill
Yer mines of Granite and Cascade coun-
ties are confronted with a condition
which has demanded from the officials
entrusted with their affairs a thorough
knowledge of the respective local situa-
blons as we'll as the most Intelligent econ
olny In management to keep them in
operation. The price received for their
product is so low that in order to realize
a profit they are obliged to extract only
the best grade of ores, except in Instances
where the medium grades can be obtained
In large quantities. On this accOunt pros
pecting for silver, and. in fact, the de-
yelopment of the lodes of that mineral
which are known to exist, has nearly
ceased.
LEWIS AND CLARKE COUNTY. =
Lewis and Clarke county shows some
Improvement over last year. While no
large discoveries can be recorded, some
small strikes were made in the gold-pro-
ducing districts. Considerable work is
going on in the Rimini section, but it
merits more attention from the mining
public than it has SO ar been accorded.
In fact, when we view the many strongly
mineralized districts that are to betfound
within the boundaries of this county we
are at a loss to understand why prospect
ing has not been more thoroughly and
Systematically prosecuted. I am strong
ly impressed with the belief that were q
limited amount of capital j~udiciously ex-
pended in the development of these dis
tricts as good mines as ave been found
in the state would be uncovered. - Z

mining in Madison county is progress
