Buffalo Hump camp was thrown into
a Juror of excitement by big strike
on the Fortune claim, one of the prop
critics of the Buffalo Hump Develop
ment Company of Spokane. For sew
eral weeks past a drift has been ad-
vanced off of the lead, but a recent
Crosscut opens up a large and rich ore
body. The grade is much higher than
any heretofore encountered in the prop
erty. No assays have yet been had,
but from the character of the ore it will
unquestionably average over 500 per
ton in gold, and with a 12-foot vein of
this grade it places the Fortune almost
on dividend paying basis. EXplora-
ton work has heretofore been done
and wherever the lead has been I'M
covered, it has been of uniformly high
grade Work has been progressing for
the past six months with varying re-
suits, and the management can now
congratulate itself on having one of
the best properties in the Buffalo
Hump district.
Eight men are at work on the Big
Buffalo tunnel, under Superintendent

nected with these various drifts Is that
two of the veins which were crossed,
as the miners would say "in the pinch, +"
have, in running less than 20 feet
opened out into two and four foot of
ore respectively and one of these has
values on the footwall of 1865 in gold.
However, with all these showings of
high values perhaps it would be better
both for the company and the public
to always keep in mind an average
value of the whole. The Palmer Noun
tain tunnel can afford to stand on $2S
in gold for vein matter, when they have
been informed by two eminent experts
that the formation through which the
veins cut will pay a profit exceeding
81 per ton and that it can easily be
treated with a cyanide process. The
minimum cost of mining and treatment
is placed at Use per ton, and maximum
at 81. The ore, being entirely free
from copper, brings cyanide treatment
to its lowest cost. These values, it
should be borne in mind, come from
100 to 1850 feet depth.

Drifting on veins cut by the Palmer
Mountain tunnel is going forward with
extremely satisfactory results. 1t must
be kept in mind that when drifting is
referred to in the tunnel it does not
mean simply upon one vein, but that
in running this tunnel $500 feet, its
present length, II veins have been
crossed, and with two exceptions, drifts
were started. These veins have not
disappointed the management, as the
company is today taking equally as
goood ore from them as where they
were cut and in general the quality
and quantity has increased, while in
particular they have never had as high
values as are now coming from the
big twelfth vein both in the face of
the drift and in the raise.
1t is sufficient to say of the values
that for the past month they have not
had an assay below $64.49 in gold.
while IL there were any good purposes
served in giving out sensational values
they can be furnished, running all the
way from 800 to $3.50 in gold.

Notes and Personals.

Every copper company in Butte has
increased it's production during Janu-
airy. The Anaconda company during
January produced about 100000 lbs.
of copper, an increase of about 4,000.-
900 lbs over the December output. This
makes 5O,00OO0O lbs. of copper produc-
ed by this company during the past
four months, but in this connection it
should be taken into consideration that
in all probability the Parrot output is
also included in this estimate. The De-
cember output from the mines of the
Boston & Montana was 100000 lbs.
Butte & Boston, which has not been on
the producing list for number of
years, is making an excellent showing
and has prospects of paying a small
dividend this year, With copper at Is
cents it is estimated that it will pay at
least SO per share by the end of the
year.

MINING NOTES.

Work is to be Immediately resumed
on the Buckhorn mine in Flat Creek
district, on the reservation. Men have
left Spokane prepared to resume de-
velopment. 1t is a copper property,
with good surface indications.
A report comes from Seven Devils
district that the Mineral World, in
which Spokane capital is said to be in
| terested, is showing up remarkably
we'll. The shaft is down so feet. An
assay of 300 pounds of assorted ore is
said to have run 324 ounces silver and
! 10 per cent. copper.
| Recently John NJ. Burke, the mining
man of Spokane, who is the owner of
the Chloride, IL miles from Baker City,
Ore, on the east side of the Powder
river range, and near the PocahOntas

vein of exceedingly rich ore-free
gold. When asked about the matter
Mr.. Burke simply said: Il would not
now exchange the Chloride for any
mine in this whole region. She is a
big winner"
The great strike in the Flagstaff
mine, seven miles from Baker City,
Ore, to the east and near the celebrated
Virtue property, has again called wide
spread attention to that district. This
new body of rich ore, which runs over
$100 per ton, was found in the third
level. 1t is reported on good author
ity, that the Flagstaff has been bonded
for $125,000 to a Boston syndicate

property have disclosed a freak forma-
tion which is the first of it's nature to
be found in this district, or in fact any
other district, as far as known. The
strike was made in the bottom of
100-foot shaft and is an irregular vein
of quartz in the country rock which is
andesite. The vein fills the bottom
of the shaft and runs from 500 to $500
according to the assays. The peculiar
ity is that the quartz vein is composed
of nodules of quartz which are about
the size of pea which when broken
open are impregnated with fine par
ticles of free gold. These nodules are
scattered through the andesite as
plums are in a pudding.
