STONE CREEK MINES.

We learn that two strong Chicago
have been formed to develop
the Stone creek copper mines. says the
Dillon Examiner. For years these prop
critics have been scratched over and it
has been the firm conviction of all who
have visited and examined the surface
condition that all the mines have needed
has been some n with the energy and
money to sink to water level in order
to uncover some of the richest copper ore
bodies in this section of the country.
The corporations which have purchased
the Manser properties are the Montana
Copper and Gold Mining Co. and the
Verdi Mining Co. The Montana company
is sinking a double compartment h TT
on the main vein. The intention is to
sink this shat below the water level
where, as the history of Butte demon
strates, the rich copper sulphides are
found. The ore bodies will be developed
by crosscuts and levels.
This company is preparing for extern
sive work. 1t has completed a new road
to the timber and is building additional
houses for boarding and rooming the
men.
While sinking the company will work
two shifts of men, night and day, and
get to water level pust as O as pos
sible. The Verdi Copper Mining COM
any is driving a tunnel just above the
water level of the creek to tap the great
veins running through it's property. This
olAAAS 10 ~ iSS oltNl o'i-
ditional feet is being contracted. This
will also be driven with two shifts of
men. night and day. When the veins are
reached levels will be run in them and
the ore bodies developed.
Judging from the surface ore on these
properties, which runs as high as 40 per
cent. in copper, ar1rfrom the imemnse
surface veins. there must be very large
bodies of sulphides below water level
1t is to uncover these lower ore bodies
that both companies are making every
effort and it would be very gratifying
to Dillon to see such deposits of copper
ore uncovered as have made Butte
famous. 1t would be of great benefit tC
our city.
The president and vice president of the
Montana mpan ave lately visited
the Stone creek properties and last weel

pany, together with several directors ant

highly pleased with their properties
Some of the best mining experts in thu
country have examined both of the prop
critics. and from their reports it would
seem that there is an excellent chanc'
for the Stone creek copper mines to de
velop into one of the greatest cope.
camps in the entire west.
The group of mines is situated In
granite formation about twelve mile
distant from Dillon, just over the lin
in Madison county.

to success. They employ in and around
the mines some sixty or seventy men be-
sides those employed in and about the
mill, as we'll as men II teams that are
employed hauling timbers and supplies,
which makes a respectable pay roll. The
company have the Clark mill, as l am in
formed, under lease, and have made ex-
tensive improvements on the same of
mill will be started this week. With the
Improvements they will be bile to treat a
much greater quantity and more salts

a quantity of ore IN the dumps awaiting
treatment SC that we expect a steady
run of the mill when once under full OPP

people that they may be literally remun-
Grated for their enterprise and expendi-
ture
The Emma mine. the property of Will
liam Bartena and others is now being OPP
Grated under lease and bond by Cartier
& Graham. They are sinking a new
shaft south of the old one. which. when
completed will be a depth of 300 feet
and connect with the old workings. They
are o down something near 200 feet
and v ore in the shaft of good grade.
They now use a whim for hoisting but
will, most likely. install a steam plant
later. The Emma has been a producer for
many years and promises to yield her
quota for some time to come. The parties
now operating it are practical mining
men and will make a success of the un-
dertaking and demonstrate the merits OF
the Emma.

THE FILIPINO.

orders the civil presidentes of the towns
through which we passed were re-
quired to provide food and shelter for
us and our guards. The conduct OF the
p%residentes varied greatly, according,
as we thought, to the degree OF favor
of American rule, or their private
opinion of the chances of speedy
American occupation. Sometimes, too,
it depended upon the condition or the
municipal treasury. AS a rule, we We're

"Along the west coast we found the
natives much in sympathy with the

THE co.

Libby News: An important deal is on
looking toward the opening of the group
of claims owned by the Choteau Montana
Mining and Milling Co., of this place.
The property of this mpa adjoins
that of the Silver Gable. and carries good
values in lead, gold and silver.
"A. B. Johnston, president of the COM
pany. said: w have the property de-
veloped by two separate tunnels, both on
the ledge. each in about 40 feet. The ore
showing thus far has been very satisfac-
tory and there can be no question but
what we possess a mine. On the claim
are two distinct lodges, the upper II feet
wide, while the lower is two feet less in
width. Conservative assays of samples
taken clear across the lodges snow
much higher.
This week we have let a contract for a
so foot TUNE to still further develop the
property. We will cross cut a distance
Of ten feet until we get the ledge and then
run for a. distance of forty feet in ore.
These three unnels will demonstrate the
~permanencyo of the ledge.and in a measure
the extent of the ore body. When this
last tunnel has been completed. and the
results satisfactory, as they no doubt will
be, we will then make arrangements to
mill our ore, and expect in a short time
to be shipping concentrates to the smell

While the West Fisher country is rap

DIAMOND R. CoNcENTRAToR

Neihart Herald: The work Of charging
the concentration has begun. On Thurs
day was let the contract for the stone
work. and the excavation therefor IS al
ready we'll under way. The new mill Is
to join the present one on the north
west side. and when completed the wall
between the two will be removed, thus
stead of eight tables as at present, they
will operate Is tables. The crusher will
be replaced by a new and larger one
and the capacity Of the whole is to be
800 tons daily. r. *
1t Is the company's intention to build
this mill by day labor instead Of letting
a contract as before. w. w. Masters,
NJ. E.. is the experimenting architect,
and the company's force of carpenters
will do the work. No delays will be per-
mitttd. and the new plant will be in
running order as soon as possible. The
present power, light and steam plants
will supply the new addition.
The plan of transferring ore from
the Broadwater to the mill has been
thoroughly revised. They now propose
to erect a wire tram. starting just above
tunnel No. s at the Broad. and running
by an air line to the concentration. This
tram is to be constructed by the first of
December. n in running order will
have a capacity of so tons per hour. 1t
will be raised upon pillars. 80 to no feet
above the ground. 1t will be 3.400 feet
in length and will have a total fall of
500 feet.
The progress of tbs new work Is most
encouraging. as by this course is given
to Neihart the most substantial improve
feel encouraged by the hope thus en-
gendered. and the ~permanency Of the
camp is by the successful operation of
mills placed beyond peradventure of
doubt.

FINE CAMPAIGN LIE.

New York Sun: Dispatches were
printed in some of the morning newspa-
pers yesterday to the effect that Mr.. H.
II. Rogers, president Of the Ohio River
private car to be attached to a regular
train on that road and that as a conse-
quence Mr.Bryn and his party were COM
PEELED to ride from. Parkersburg to
Wheeling in a common car. This pro-
ceeding was characterized by these dis
patches as an extraordinary insult put
upon the candidate of the democratic
party. 1t was added that the people Of
West Virginia, irrespective OF party, We're
furious at the high-handed proceeding;
that it shamed the reputation of the
state for hospitality, and, moreover, was
an act grossly illegal under the charter
of the railroad as a common carrier. 1t
was predicted that the episode would
make thousands of votes for Bryan in
West Virginia.
Mr.. Rogers, who was in his Office in
this city yesterday, said:
Il never heard, until I read in the
newspapers this morning, that Col. Bry-
an had an imperialistic private car and.
therefore. l never refused to haul it or
any other car for him on the Ohio River
railroad. If the railroad officials refused
eto haul the car, I am sure it was for
some practical business reason. I have
not heard what the reason was, nor have
I inquired. How could the reason have
been other than a practical business,
when one of the directors of the road,
who, by the way, is a large stockholder
of the Standard Oil company, presided at
Col. Bryan's meeting at Parkersburg? I
refer to ex-United States Senate Cam
den. Please don't insist on giving the
Standard DOLL credit for all the
mistakes of the world. 1t looks too much
like a monopoly"
Mr.. Rogers added that very likely If
the request to haul the private car had
been refused it was the reason that Col.
Bryan wanted to hitch on to a limited
train, and it is against the rules of the
road to drag any private car on a linn
tied train.
Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 7.-supt. Bias
err of the Ohio River railroad this even
ing entered an emphatic denial to the
story that his road refused to haul W. ].
Bryan's private car from Parkersburg to
Wheeling on Thursday afternoon. S upt.
Blaser said to The Sun reporter:
w We're not called pom to attach
Mr.. Bryan's private car to our train
neither were we asked to provide him q
| special car for the trip to Wheeling
About 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon
we were asked to reserve twenty-five
seats in the Sarlor car of our regular
train leaving Parkersburg at 5 O'Clock
Although the time was short we succeed
ed in securing the seats and delivered
them to Mr.. Bryan and his party. I an
informed by the conductor Of the trair
that after the left Parkersburg the cal
was crowded with people who merel,
wanted to talk with the candidate ant
see him. The arrangement was possibl!
not so pleasant as Mr.. Bryan's party de
sired, but we CAV them all they asked
for. This road stood perfectly willing t.
give Mr.. Bryan every facility he desired
and we strove to extend the courtesie
that were proper. There was positivel!
no request for a private car passage"

whereupon he dropped his weapon and
skunk away. The threat to kill became
SO common that at length We paid little
attention to 1t. AS a matter of fact. the
natives never laid hands upon us dur
ing the whole time of our captivity,
thought they often flogged and other
wise ill-treated Spanish prisoners. MY
blood boiled one day when 1 saw a Tagal
lieutenant. mounted and armed, beating
over h head with a heavy whip q
Spanish soldier who was i'll and had
Jagged behind the column.
"A one tin We had in our party as
many as 600 Spanish prisoners, and they
were constantly having trouble on ac-
count of the brutality Of the natives.
wv are paying off old Scores" was the
explanation of the Tagals. A Spanish
lieutenant OF marines attempted to es-
cape. did succeed in getting within
two miles Of the American lines. where
he was recaptured. He was at once
robbed of nearly all hi soothing and his
watch, while the photographs of his
wife and children We're torn up before
his eyes. He hen disappeared. I made
inquiries concerning him. but could hear
nothing positive. I think he was
executed.
Cunning, treachery. and cruelty are
deep-rooted in the Filipino character.
One of the prisoners in our party was
Frank Stone of the United States Signal
corps. He n a comrade were walking
upon the railroad in the suburbs of
Manila when an unarmed native ap-
preached. begged a cigarette, and asked
permission to walk with them. Sud-
denly a number of c~onfederates sprang
out of the bushes and attacked and
overpowered the two Americans, talk
ing them prisoners. or twenty-six
Americans who were in our party at
various times only ten had been cap
tured in battle. The Others had been
taken through the wiles Of the so-called
amigos, or friendly natives. Private
Currran Of the Sixteenth United States
infantry was snapped up by a party of
these sneaks within twenty yards of
his own outpost"
