the only big concern in the Elkhorn
district. The mine has been worked by
the company that owns it for several
years. II formerly belonged to the
National Bank people of Helena. They
sold it to the London Exp. Co, and
the latter has operated it since. There

Another mining deal which means
very much to this county has just been
consummated. 1t is one whereby east
ern capitalists become identified with

near Mayer, is one of the principals in
the new deal and an abundance of
money is assured to develop the prop
erty thoroughly and place it on pay

able and efficient mining man, and one
who has bright future. In his opera

correct, while as mining superintend-
ent be has been a success also. Mr..
Haggott will have charge of the Hen
rietta mine as superintendent, which
is sufficient guarantee of its success

gagged as foreman of the mine and Ed.
