PONY IN THE LEAD

HILLSIDES DOTTED WITH MEN
Ore Containing Gold Being Extracted
on All Sides-Ninety Men
Breaking Ground for
New Mill.

Several Butte men who recently WIS.,
tied Pony are very enthusiastic over the
future prospects of that district Those
who took careful inventory of pre-
vailing conditions there express the be-
lief that it is the coming gold produce
ing district of the northwest.
"a Pony is in Madison county and is only
a few hours ride on the train from
Butte. The district of which it is the
center is about as large as the devel-
oped portion of this district. Although
known as gold center. the ore carries
some silver. but gold is the predomin-
ating metal, bearing the same relation
to silver in the ore value as do the
copper values of the Butte ores to silver
and gold.
The hillsides about Pony are dotted
with leSseeS at work developing ground
and extracting ore. While several COM
panieS are preparing for operations on
a more extensive scale The new own
ers of the Boss Tweed and Clipper
ground. embracing six claims, are ex-
tending one of the main tunnels. While
a force of so men is breaking and clear
ing ground for the 100 stamp mill. which
the company proposes to erect for treat
ing it's product. 1t IS the intention OF
the corporation to have the mill under
roof before the icy gales swoop down
from the north and interfere with the
rapid advancement OF operations.

Water has been struck in the shaft OF
the Pacific mine, which is being sunk by
the Butte Mine Exploration company
on the hillside north of the entrance to
Columbian Gardens canyon, but the
company is in shape to cope with It,.
Last Saturday a larger boiler than the

moisture was completed. The shaft Is

GOLDEN ERA UNDER LEASE
It Is Located in the Argenta District
and Is Said to Be Quite
Promising.

A Dillon special to the Helena Record
says that +. H. Landers and his asso-
ciates have secured lease on the Golden
Era, a promising property in the Argenta
district. Mr.. Landers expects to put a
force Of men to work next week cleaning
out the workings. which are in bad con-
dition, the mine not having been worked
for a number of years.
The Golden Era ds owned by st. Louis
company, and has been developed by a
shaft 800 feet in depth and drift 300 feet
at the bottom. Several hundred tons OF
ore that will yield IS to the ton or better
has been exposed. A few years ago a
cave-in occurred. and pay streak eigh-
teen inches wide Of ore that assays 500
a ton was revealed. This has since re-
madned untouched, and should 1t continue
for any length Mr.. Landers and his assoc
ciates will surely make q good thing out
Of the lease.

the mines of the Pony section bid fair
to equal, If not excel In extent and out
put, those Of Cripple Creek and Crede,
the banner gold yielding sections of
Colorado.
A large number of Butte men own
property there, and many who do not
own ground are leasing from others
and making money. The bulk of the
ore extracted by the leasers is shipped
to the East Helena smelter, but some
of it finds ready market in Butte.
The question of inaugurating a daily

trains week instead of three, as is now
the case.

However, it is not for sale or lease and
the owners are reticent in speaking Of

Considerable excitement has been oc-
casioned here by the report that Oil had
been discovered on the Big Hole, three
miles southwest of here. The supposed
dscoverer will either affirm or deny the
report and this adds color to it. Prospect

that oil exists and it's discovery is prob
able at any time.
The Broadway mine at Silver Star,

OLD PROsPECT0R WON OUT
Spent Nearly Lifetime Waiting for
Someone to Buy His Aiming
Ground.

The prospector affords a large share
of the romance. pathos and picturesque
ness of the mining industry and he does
it often by holding tenaciously to a pros
pect en- which he figura lively sits while
manhood glides into weak old age, says
the Pacific Coast Miner. There have
been thousands of cases in which one CT
these pioneers of a great industry has
camped by a prospect in which he be-
lieved there was fortune locked up hop
ing on, believing on and struggling on
a. the years rolled on. Throughout Cali
fornia and all the west there are thou
sands Of mining claims so held today.
Strong and cheerful men found them in
pursuing through lonely hills with
pack on back or burrO, and now many
are held by men gray haired and bent,
who yet wait for capital to come and
share their faith and see their vision of
gold. Capital sometimes calls, shakes its
head at prospect or price and turns
away. For various reasons disappoint-
ment in the end Is generally the pros
pector's reward. One day he is buried
above his gold and then some other day
the hoist may come. Here is a phase of
human life that no Bret Harte has seen
and portrayed.
The prospector came to the big base
ore belt of Shasta county more than
a generation ago and he has never let
go of it. Fortunes and milling plants
were wrecked on that great reef 40 years
ago, but most numerous have been the
human disasters. At last capital came
to one end of the belt and the prospec-
tor spruced up. More recently mil
lionaire camped at the other end of the
belt and now one Of those gray-haired
prospectors has won out on the turn. Just
in the nick Of time Millionaire De La
Mar picked up the claims right next to
those the old man had camDed on for
nearly a lifetime. Like sheep after a
bellwether more capitalists came, and
they really did business with the old
man, or rather, he really did business
with them The deal has Just gone
through. Mineral Wealth tells the story
in a simple mat;er-of- fact way, but the
romance is all there. This is the brief
tale:
'Mr, Mcclure the former owner of the
nroperty. has spent a lifetime waiting
for the time when capital would trans
form the Bully Hill region from a watt
ing camp to life and activity. He Is now
IS years old, and If he were younger. 1t
is doubtful If even the present OFFER
would have induced him to sell. The old
pioneer took a philosophical view Of the
matter, however. and concluded to end
his days in comparative comfort. TO
a Mineral Wealth representative Mr.. NC
Clure said: NV intuition told me that
there was a mine in that mountain, ana
I did not like to sell, but I have lived
a r. gular hermit's life. and now that
1 am on the border land. I concluded
that a comfortable competency which

Whatever may be said regarding po-
litical corruption in this State and
county we are fortunate that not a
breath of scandal has touched our
courts. The term of the Court OF Cen

marked with numerous important
criminal cases, and there has been an
evident desire on the part of all con-
oerned in the matter of enforcing the
law, to expedite matters and to do ex-
act justice. The grand jury, which
was discharged yesterday, after a pro-
tracted session, during which it was
Obliged to weigh evidence of great inn

affected the integrity of friends and
neighbors, has won THE thanks of the
people of the community.
Today the trial. of one of the Off
cials, against whom indictments were
found is in progress. 1t was feared
that, as is too frequent under such cir

when they might be dropped. The court
refused the plea for a change Of venue,

GRAY DECEMBER MORNING

After the first unusually early touch
Of winter there came Upon the suburbs
windless gray December Sunday. It
was such day as unobservant persons
lregretfully term dull, for it was with
out the ornament of bright skies and
lglittering sunshine.
But just by reason OF its unlikeness
to those brilliant days in which there
lis no room for lurking mystery it was
peculiarly rich in character and sug-
gestion for the connoisseur in matters
meteorological 1t was a neutral day,
from which had been excluded as
scrupulously as from the garb of a
Quakeress. every trace of garish color.
Sky and earth were a monotone of
delicious peaceful gray. No CLINT Of
clear sunshine came through the thick
mufflng Of cloud and mist that hid the
blue. and no lingering scrap of gold or
russet shone from the woodland, save
that here and there the carpet Of fallen
and fast bleaching leaves have a back
ground of warmer tint than the dun of
the trunks and limbs and the smoked
pearl of the atmosphere. Toward the
horizon it was hard to tell where
woodland left off and sky began.
ID was neither cold nor warm. The
surface Of the ice slowly melted and
one had only to look in order to realize
that the atmosphere was drinking the
yaporized frost from all those patient
miles of outspread meadow, marsh and
woodland. The atmosphere was drink
ing in moisture, but was far from sat
urated, so there was none of that sod
den chill that comes with thawing
days in February and March.
Earth and sky were as free from
motion as from color Some vast OPT
ate, embodying the still spirit of dead
and gone Sabbaths seemed to have
permeated the atmosphere.
The woodland that for a century
surrounded the castle of the sleeping
beauty was charmed into no more
dreamless silence than the forest
fringe that rings the suburban world.
The very sedges stood mOtionless in
the still air. and the gossamers of the
clematis seed vessels clung to their
bolls. or compelled by gravity loosed
their hold and fell straight to earth,
as if in yacuo.
The feel of that deliciously still cool
air upon the cheeks was at once stimu-
lating and soothing. The skin re-

higher than last year. The reason as
signed for this untoward state of af-

lines which annually handles these
requisites to Christmas jollity. The
scarcity in cars has resulted in an in
creased charge for transportation, and
consequently greater price to pur-
chaser, and it may be that, despite the
large crop, there may be a famine in
Christmas trees. which state Of affairs
would bring sorrow and a sense of ut
