MINES ABOUT PHILIPSBURa ARE

CAPACITY OF CONCENTRATION
Of the Granite Mountain and Bi-Me-
tallic Company to be In
creased to 600 Tons
Per Day.

Edward and George Consdon. former
ly residents of this city. but now of Phil
ipsburg are in Butte on business. They
say that the district in which Philips
burg is located is taking on new life
and will soon be presenting to the west
some of the activity il exhibited when the
Granite Mountain and Bi-Metallic We're
yielding almost solid silver.
THE Granite Mountain and Bi-Me-
tallic Consolidated Mining company is
doing lots of work. says the gentlemen.
TT will spend probably million dollars
this year. The concentrator, which has
all along had daily capacity of 100
tons, is being enlarged and when the
work Is complete it will treat 600 tons
per day. There are some immense bodies
of concentrating ore in the lower levels
of the companys property that can be
treated at a profit OF course the net
proceeds may not be so large as they
were when the company was working on
the rich ore shoot from which the large
dividends We're paid. but they will be
large just the same The big stamp mill
is in operation. In addition to the work
of the company there are many indi-
yidual properties in operation. Taken as
a whole, the activity of the present is
greater than it has been since 1892"

WILL USE A DIAMOND DRILL
Colorado Men Believe in This Mode
Of Prospecting the West Fisher
District

Libby special to the Helena Record:
George E. Hemler and J. H. White have
returned from visit to the West
Fisher gold belt and report that they
are much pleased With the showings in
that section. They are from Boulder.
Colo. and the object of their trip was
for the purpose of determining the ad-
visibility of operating there with a
diamond drill. From their reports they
intend returning next season with a
diamond drill and all the apparatus ne
cessary to it's operation and thoroughly
prospect the country that way. They
report that the fact that the veins in
that section are blankets makes it an
ideal proposition from a diamond drill
point of view, and they anticipate splen-
did results from it's operation next year.
AS is well known, the veins in the
West Fisher are considered to be lank-
cts, while as a matter of fact there is a
dip of about eight degrees. Running
through the hills, these veins are found
lying one on top Of the other at dis
tances varying all the way from thirty
to $50 feet, and to run a diamond drill
down through a mountain would give
a nexecellent idea Of what there is in
these veins where they will be tapped.
and would prove a splendid way of pros
pecting the district.

SNoWsHoE IS REPORTED SOLD
English Capitalists Once Paid $780,
900 For It-Figures Of the Pres
ent Deal Not Known.

The Libby correspondent Of the Hed-l
ena Record says that probably the best
piece Of news received by the people,
Of the Libby mining district Is that an
nouncing the sale Of the famous Snow
shoe mine. While it is not stated that
the sale has been definitely made, It is
the opinion of all that inside Of three
weeks the property will be in operation
and that one of the biggest mines in the
camp will become again a producer, af-
ter having been closed over a year.
The mine is about eighteen miles south
Of Libby. in what is known as the anti,
clinal contact. which extends through
the Cabinet mountains for about forty
miles and in which are found some big
deposits Of low grade Stver-lead ores.
Since it's discovery it has produced be-
tween $5OO,0O0 and $1.O000o0 and it is de-
veloped by something like 5000 feet of
tunnels. the longest being a little shy OF
1000 feet. The vein will average about
seven feet wide and the product of the
concentration will average about $55 to
the ton in all values, the ore going about
ten into one. Their is 150ton concen-
traitor at the property winch is run by
water power; the mine and the buildings
are lighted by electricity. compressed
air is used in operating the drills, and
there are other modern and up-to- date
conVenienceS.
The present owners of the SnowShoe
mine are English capitalists. They ac-
quired title to the property about two
years ago for $3.50, 900. On the deed con-
veying the title to the property was the
largest amount of revenue stamps on
any instrument filed in Flathead coun-
ty. The negotiations for the sale of the
property to the present owners were car
ried on by Howard c. Walters, the we'll
known mining promoter, who was also
the manager for the English purchasers
for a considera BILE time after the trans
fer was made. He was succeeded by
H. E. West. who is now the manager
with headquarters in Libby.
Who the purchasers are this time is
not known. but D. p Bowers. banker
in one of the Washington cities, in the
nominal head of the syndicate seeking
possession. He was in Libby this week
and. while here, said he would have the
mine working inside of three weeks. Mr..
Bowers is the one man of all who have
had charge of the Snowshoe who has
made dt pay and when the present own
ers acquired title he was operating it
under a lease from the original owners
and was paid S12 500 to surrender the
unexpired portion of is lease. to the
and that the deal be made. He is thor
oughly familiar with the mine, is prac-
tiCal mine manager and a rustler and
the chances are that from now on the
Snowshoe will become a steady pro-
ducer and will afford constant employ
ment for about $50 men.

FROM WEST FISHER DISTRICT
Rich Ore Said to Have Been Struck
On a Claim in That
Section

James H. Harris, president Of the
West Fisher Gold Mining company, has
returned to Libby from an extended
visit to the West Fisher district, where
he has been making an examination Of
his companys property, says the Hell
ena Record He brings one of the most
tlattering reports ever received here of
strike in that section and it has caused
a great deal of excitement throughout
the camp. He says that at the end of
an So foot tunnel he ordered an upraise
to be made and that at the time he left
there they had gone a distance of thir-
teen feet, all in excellent ore, and that
he panned samples continually as the
men went through this ore and that
from all samples he got large quantities
of gold. showing it to be exceptionally
rich. The ore in this uprase is said to
be the finest looking body in that camp
and news of the strike spread rapidly.
Men from all other parts of the camp.
and quite large number of experts
who We're there looking at various prop
critics, were attracted to the property by
the report of the strike and it is gen.
orally understood that several PROPOSE
tions have already been submitted to the
West Fisher Gold Mining company look
ing to a purchase of a controlling inter.
est. Mr.. Harris is authority for the
statement that nothing has been done
with any of these offers as yet and that
he is of the opinion that the company
intends to further explore the extent of
the strike. Samples from all parts of
the vein We're brought out and these will
be thoroughly tested to verify the re-
suits obtained by the crude method of
panning.
The West Fisher Gold Mining COM
pany was organized last January under
the laws of Montana and on account of
the splendid showing there was no diff
Guilty in selling enough of the treasury
stock to enable the management to go
ahead and develop the property this
summer. The result of this development
work is tine strike which has just been
reported. 1t is quite probable that ar
rangements will be made for the erec-
ton of a mill this fall and winter ana
carrying on developments with the OBJ
ject for getting the mine in shape to
start the mill early in the spring.
All of the officers and directors of the
company are residents of Libby. Quite
a number of the treasury stock shares
We're sold in Ohio and other eastern
states, but the largest amount was IN
vested by citizens of this county.
