Operations on the Silver Belt
Are Exposing Richness Not
Heretofore in the Dreams
of the Most Sanguine.
REMARKABLE BODY OF SULPHURETS.
David l.. s. Barker, the Rising
Capitalist. Is Now the Sole
Owner.

A deal of considerable magnitude and
of most favorable bearing upon the
welfare of the camp was that effected
last week wherein David L. S. Barker
bought from Jonathan McAssey and
wife a one-half interest in the Silver
Belt Mining company. This interest
consisted of 1880 shares of stock, and
the consideration of the transaction is
said to be 500
The Silver Belt Mining company's
stock was all held by David L. S. Bark
or and Jonathan McAsscy, until this
transaction placed Mr.. Barker in entire
possession. 1t is the owners intention
to work the property on an extensive
scale and arrangements have been made
to open up the vein to a considerable
depth. Mr.. Barker reposes great faith
in the property and intends to make a
mine of it if money and brains can eff
feet this result. AS far as present indi-
cations 90 his judgment is admirably
borne out by what is in sight, and he
feels perfectly justified in putting a few
thousand dollars into development. He
says he will make the Silver Belt a
mine if it is in the powers to do so, and
it really looks as if he has struck the
most profitable piece of mining proper
ty in the district. Present indications
point to the Silver Belt as being the
biggest mine yet opened up in the Mel
hart district.
This rich claim lies near the head of
Rock creek, joining the Commonwealth
on its east side, and the Grand Prize on
its west with the Broadwater group adj
%jacent on the south. For many years it
was the property of Jonathan McAssey
and }. l.. Neihart. The latter sold his

The latest from Helena by wire
yesterday u that the confer

political parties are still in session
determined to fuse, but undecided
as to the terms. The populists de-

willing to sacrifice everything else.
But both the other parties want the
governor, and they can't go to bed
together until their proposed conju-
gal relations are satisfactorily ad-
justed. But they will fuse, as a
matter of course; else, what are they
there for?
