peop,e Of Pony" said Major N. J.. IsdeI
OF Pony, who is visiting Butte to-day.
I'm fact for years we have known that
the Clipper mines wera rich in GOLD.
The owners are wealthy men and they
made no effort to work ti,em Or to enliss
capital fer their development. They were
perfectly content to let them stay unoe.
veloped, believing that the time would
come when they would be sought for.
II could name you dozens of other
mines on Mineral hill which are even
looking better h the Clipper group
did at the same stage of development.
I believe that future years will show that
Pony has the greatest gold mines of the
entire northwest. Unlike other localities
they are not mere pockets-for the his
tory of the district shows that not a
single mine operated has ever been ex.

lieved that Pony has a great future be-
