TWO NOTABLE DECISIONS.
Montana Supreme Court Rulings In Min
Ing Litigation.

The Supreme Court of Montana has
handed down two important decisions
involving several valuable Butte cop
per mines in dispute between the Bos-
ton and Montana and the Montana
Ore Purchasing Company. The first
decision involved litigation between the
b. n NJ. and the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing Company over the Snohomish
and Tramway mines. The Boston and
Montana owns one-half of the Snohom-
ish and the Montana Ore Purchasing
Company the other half. while the Bos-
ton and Montana owns two-thirds of
the tramway of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing Company. or the IIeinZes, the
rema lining one-third.
The Snohomish and Tramway are
near Rarus. owned by o. Montana
Ore Purchasing Company. Through
the latter mine there is underground
access to the Snohomish and Tramway.
The, Boston and Montana commenced
an action against the IIeinZes for an
injunction and for damages because
the latter Were working the Tramway
and Snohomish and the Trnmway
through the Rarus. A temporary re-
Straiuing order was issued. Upon mo.

WORKING SILVER MINES.
Old Claims Near Georgetown Are Being
Developed.

There seems to be a fair prospect
that many of the old silver properties
near Georgetown, long ago abandoned
on account of the decline in the price
of silver, will soon be relocated. The
cause of the revival of interest in the
silver mines of the district is the strike
of rich ore in the Corwin few weeks
ago. The Corwin operators are still
drifting on an ore body. the intention
being to thoroughly develop the prop
erty before commencing regular ship
ments.

recently made a shipment of ore that
yielded an average of forty-two per
cent. lead and twenty-five ounces of
silver per ton.

pendence made shipment a few days
ago that yielded 100 ounces silver and
an ounce of gold n ton. a small streak
in the ore body assays 1920 ounces
silver and sixty ounces gold per ton.
Johnson 4 Carlson. lessees on the
Johnson. are producing Il considera-
ble quantity of ore that runs 450
ounces silver per ton.
Schraga 4 Co.. lessees on the Cen
tennial. have more than two feet of
ore on the 3OO-fOot level that runs six
teen ounces of silver, 3.3 ounces gold
and more than five per cent copper.
In sinking for air from the 800 to the
600-foOt level there was found about
five feet of ore that averages $50 ton.
In the breast of the sixth level there is
about thirty inches of ore. which, when
sorted. runs from one to five ounces
gold per ton. The pioneer stamp mill
of Georgetown was built to treat ore
from the Centennial and Burrell lodes,
which yields as high as $40 cord
in gold worth SIG an ounce. The av-
erage value per cord in those days was
five ounces gold.
J. =. johnson X Co. lcssees ON the
Mendoza. have three feet of ore that
yields between $40 and $50 per ton
in gold and silver.

After Fine Gold,

After years of experimenting to free
the gold dust in the placer gravel and
sands of the Rio Chama. plan has
been devised by which this can be
done at great profit
The organization of the Rio Arriba
Placer Mining Company by Kansas
City and ST. Louis capitalists, was cf-
fected fourteen months ago. and this
company subsequently acquired about
LOO acres of the placer grounds n few
miles above Abipui. on the Rio Chama
the purchases covering the river bed.
as well as the placer land on either
side. The numerous thorough tests
made by the experts of the corpora
tion satisfied all concerned that the
golden values concealed in the depos-
its had not been exaggerated, but the
same difficulty WIS experienced that
had discouraged previous prospecting
undertakings. 1t was found that most
of the gold was so fine and light that
it could not be saved by ordinary hy-
draulic methods.
Mr.. Iaccard and his persistent asso-
ciates sent out other men to study the
situation and offered them large in
duccmcnts to find IL practicable plan
whereby the flour gold as well as the
nuggets could he saved at profit.
Finally the conclusion was reached
that all the gold was in intimate asso-
ciaton with the black sand, that the
sand itself carried large values. and
that all the values could he rescued
by concentrating the gravel down to
the black sands and then smelling the
concentration. Many exhaustive en-
perimcntal tests have since been made
and as II result this method has been
adopted. 1t has been definitely ascer-
tained that the black sands can be
readily and chcnply separated from
the gravel and that when .smelted they
yield from S125 to S225 per ton in gold.

company Will erect aud operate Il

was at once adopted and II Is rapidly

to six tons of black sand concentrates

Cripple Creeks April Output.

AS every one who keeps posted on
the output of the great gold camp had
anticipated, the output for the month
of April would fall shorter than any
other month during the past year
There were innumerable reasons for
the shortage. The principal cause was
the weather. For three weeks the
roads have been impossible. First. it
showed nearly every day for three
weeks, and during the interim the
SNOW melted and the mud was SO thick
that the heavy ore wagons could not
traverse the mountain roadways. \
shortage of coal. surface water and
some trouble with the mills and smell
ters were other reasons.
For April the total output amounted
to $1.512,a50. The gross tonnage
treated was $500. with an average
value of S31.5O. 1t will be remember
ed that during this time the Isabella
and Portland with several other large
producers did not ship pound of ore
This. taken with other properties that
were compelled to close down for lack
of coal. or from surface water. ii will
be seen that altogether the production
for April was in a better ratio than
many of the preceding months
The output in March exceeded that
of April by SG56.lIS The tonnage in
March was 5,G1S tons more than in
April.-Star.

WHAT is DOING IN
THE MINING WORLD.

which i own, you can see that it will
prove one of the most wonderful min
ing propositions in the United States,
if not the world. The great ore bodies
have been found along the vein
reaching from the Crown Point mine in
Virginia canon to the Gold Medal mine,
far to the east of the tunnel, n dis
tance of four miles and over. 1t Is
the intention to drive laterals along
this vein in both directions. and it will
open up the mines on both sides at u
greater depth than is now cut in our
ground"
Mr.. Hanchett, manager of the tunnel
company. says that it is one Of the
most remarkable showings ever heard
of in this section of the state. He con-
siders that this strike alone would
make the tunnel one of the greatest
mining propositions now under way.
but 1t will not interfere with continu-
ing the cross-cut ahead, for the OBJ
jective point is the Gilpin county belt.
The tunnel is now into the mountain
almost 5000 feet and is cutting these
veins on their dip at anything from
1000 to $500 feet in depth. He con
siders that the present strike is only
one Of many that will be made, for
directly ahead are such mines as the
Sun and Moon, Arizona and others of
that section.
