WILL WORK THE PIEGAN MINE
New Company Of Helena Men
Formed-Property Has Been
Idle Five Years.

The old Piegan mine, two and a half
miles from Marysville and not far from
Col. Thomas Cruises Bald mountain

pany. which was incorporated yesterday
and will be run on a producing basis
again, says the Helena Record.

The property consists of the Piegan,
the Ophir fraction, which lies between
the Piegan and the old Gloster mine. the
Larson fraction. the Piegan fraction and
the Rabbit. This property is to be de-
veloped on business basis, without the
intervention Of any promoters, and as
soon as the development of the ore
bodies justfies, stamp mill and cyanide
plant will be erected.
The Piegan is on the same vein as the

LARGE CHUNKS OF COPPER
They Are Said to Have Been Taken
From the Bottom Of Michigan
Mine

Houghton and Calumet Mining
Gazette representative saw Superintend-
ent Brady at the Michigan few days
ago and in reply to question as to the
reported rich find in the south bluff.
MIR. Brady, said: THAT reported rich
find on the Knowlton lode is a myth.
and 1 regard the recent bulge in Michi-
gan stock as based upon developments
OF the old Minnesota lode. That point
will be reached in a few months and
the prudent investor is buying the
stock for that time. All persons most
familiar with the condition of the bot
tom working of the old mine at the
time of it's abandonment are most em-
phatic in their opinion as regards the
extremely promising future that is ahead
of Michigan. It is safe to most posi-
lively assert that while the vein is some
what narrow at points in the bottom OF
the mine. yet on the whole it is Of good
width, and at no points unproductive OF
copper. Masses weighing from 200 to
1900 pounds. according to the reports OF
the mining captain, We're taken from the
bottom workings just previous to closing
down, all Of which completely upsets the
theory that the vein is exhausted

MINES and MINING; .;:%::::~ IN THE NOR INVEST

winze has been sunk 100 feet and a level
run on the vein shows 10 feet Of pay
ore between granite walls. The vein
averages SO in gold. with little silver,
and is free milling and cyaniding in
character. The mine has produced about
$4,000 from the two tunnels, part ofs,the
ore having been milled at the Empire
part at the Drum Lummon and part at
the Big Ok mill.
There Is ample machinery on 1.-THE
ground to carry on work for some time.
1t consists of 4O-horse power hoilec,
a No. Knowles pump, hoist capable
of sinking 500 feet. and the necessary
piping to carry steam to the engine. AL
though the mine has not been worked
for five years, the machinery is in good
condition.
The new company will take in addi-
tionel capital for development and con-
tinue blocking out ore by sinking tho
Wine 200 or 800 feet deeper. or until il
gets under the main ore body, and dOin.s
other necessary development. When this
has been done, a stamp mill will be
erected. with a cyanide mill similar 10
that operated by the Long maids at the
Belmont.
The Ophir, which joins the Piegan to
the GlOster. has history. Its position
gave it's former owners an exaggerated
idea OF its value. and they kept them-
selves poor refusing good offers for it.
The owner of the Gloster offered them
$4,000 for it, because the workings OF
the S0O-foot level ran into it, but they
refused it and raised the price. Two Of
these owners, William Guignan and
Isaac Fisher, are dead. and the third.

of Stempe is named, is still prospect

A special telegram from Mullen, Idaho.
to the Spokane Review says that Alfred

is exhibiting some rich copper groupings
from a group of claims he owns little
more than two miles northeast of the
town. The discovery was made about
year ago, but said nothing about it, watt
ing until he was able to do some work.
In the meantime he located a group of
claims, three in length, and three in
width, covering all the ground on which
the groupings could be found. He
describes the vein as showing from Is to
100 feet wide, while it may be much
wider, as ore can be found anywhere for
q width of 500 feet. In length there Is
about $500 feet on any of which good ore
can be found without trouble He has
had number OF assays yielding from
ounces in silver, and about 81 in gold.
A tunnel has been run in 40 feet, all in
ore, and some shallow shafts have been
sunk on 1t.
It is located on dead man gulch, about
two thirds of the way from the North

BCRCKHAWK TO BE DEVELOPED
Property West Of Colorado smelter Is
Being Developed-The Blackhawk
Is an Old Timer

Emmett Ryan has put some men to
work on the Blackhawk claim ON which
property he recently secured a lease and
bond. and proposes to develop the vein.
The Blackhawk is located south of Silver
Bow creek, about half mile west Of the
Colorado colnpany's smelter. 1t adjoins
the Olive Branch on the west. Several
persons are negotiating with Mr.. Ryan
for the purchase of the lease and bond
and it is possible that one will get It..
He has had half a dozen offers. but has
not decided to accept any of them.
The Blackhawk is one of the old loca-
lions of the district and is owned by the
estate of James Twohy. Many years
ago shaft was sunk on it to a depth
of 70 feet. This shaft is now being de-
veloped.
There are two Olive Branch claims,
one Of which is under lease and bond.
The other adjoins the tied-up property
on the east. 1t is owned by Samuel Mar
chesseau, Thomas and Geortrey Lavell,
Mrs. Timothy Leary of Omaha and the
estate Of Jeremiah Roach, the latter

Capt. S. ]. Dennis. one of the men who
exported the properties of the Boston &

panles several years ago, is in the city.
Mr.. Dennis has secured a lease and bond
on the Indian Queen mine. located about
rs miles south of Butte. and Intends it

velopment work on it, He is also cast
ing about for other properties. Being a
thorough mining man he will doubt
less get hold of some of the best prop
critics in the state. When CarI/n Dem
mis- first came to Butte he worked as a
miner in several of the large mines on
the hill for the purpose of famliariz-
ing himself with the general conditions
of the district. and his work as an ex-

MICHIGAN FALLING BEHIND
Decrease of More Than 5000, 900
Pounds Of Copper Last Year
Over Previous Year.

Houghton, Mich, July 16.-The pro-
duction of refined copper by the mines of
the Lake Superior district, all located
in the state of Michigan, was smaller
in 1900 than in any of the four preceding
years. The total estimated output Of 1901
was 41,950.33S in 1899.
This shows decrease in 1900 produc-
tons as compared with the preceding
year of 5,346,525 pounds. equivalent to 1858
per cent. Until the year $780, the produc-
ton of refined copper by Lake mines did
not reach 10O,000,O0O pounds in any time.
There was rapid increase in produc-
ion from 1887, with 76.O2s.697 pounds un-
til and including 1892, with an output of
123, 1875, 400 pounds followed by two years
of smaller production.
In 1895, the output again increased
largely and once more in the following
years, but after 1896, the increase was
small for the three following years and
in 1899, there was an actual falling off Of
100000 pounds, followed by the mucn
greater decrease of 1900
The decreased production Of the two
past years may aptly be compared to the
similar decrease of 1893 and 1894, and will
probably be followed by an increase for
1901, although not so marked gain as
was made. in 1895 can be looked for the
year.
The decrease for the two preceding
years is ascribed solely to the marked
reduction in product of the Calumet &
Hecla, the 1900 output of the mine being
II, S49.5 81 pounds less than in the preced-
| ing year, decrease of 1922 per cent
while the production of the other mines
| Jumped, increased no less than 6,503, 5Ot
pounds, the increase. amounting to. 113:
| per cent.

ATTEMPT MADE TO BLOW
UP BRITISH TRANSPORT.
Act is Believed to be the Work of Boer Sym
pathizerS at New Orleans.

New Orleans. Aug. 10.-What is re-
garded as an attempt of a Boer SYM
pathizer to blow up a British trans
port occurred shortly after midnight
when a terrific explosion occurred at
the stock landing. where the Harrison
steamer Mechanician is moored.
The Mechanician is to carry mules
TO South Africa. Most of the crew of
the ship were asleep, but the explosion
brought them quickly from their
berths to the deck. An examination
showed a large dent on the starboard
OF the snip. Two plates at the waters
edge had been sprung and consider
able water was let into the ship. The
pumps were Immediately pat to work
and when daylight came il was found
that the vessel was in no danger of
sinking and that the dana o. cone was
not serious.
The crew of the vessel denied that
Jhere are any explosives on board and
there seems little doubt, according to
the statements Of those who examined
the ship, that the explosion was from
the outside and that some sort of
bomb or torpedo had been used. Meth

er the agent of the ship nor any Of
the officers were willing to express a
theory with regard to who was re-
sponsible for the explosion.
New evidences of. the plot to destroy
