This county contains large bodies
OF low grade refractory gold ores that
have been impossible to work for
many years by the methods then en-
ployed. However, with the advance
that has been made I'm the successful
adaptation OF the cyanide process to
an increasing range of ores, it has
been found possible to treat the Fer.
gus county deposits successfully and
profitably.
The constantly increasing output
Of values by the mines belonging tn
and the growth of operations by the
Great Northern Mining & Develop.
ment company at Gilt Edge have at.
tracted attention to this company
and outside capital has entered the
region, purchased new properties and
is arranging for the erection OF new
works for the treatment of these ore
bodies.
1t Is likely that the year 1901 vii
witness the production from this
county about double what it was il
1900.

that on Labor day the cars were so
crowded that hundreds waiting along
the route were passed and that in some
instances they were obliged to wait
more than an hour or walk miles to
reach home. A few extra cars would
have remedied the evil.
