MINES and MINING .:%;%:~ I'M THE NORTHWEST

the Dewey mines I find the Holy Terror
group of seven claims. owned by Rich
ardson and Brown. They sunk through
the common yellow porphyry cap rock
Of that country that assayed $1.S7 per ton
and found the same character of white,
brown and black porphyry that is en-
countered in the Dewey claims under the

of sulphurets. They are poor men and
have been able to get but two assays OF
the sulphuret rock. One assayed over
SIS per ton and one over 500 per ton.
Great Population Predicted.
such is the great Thunder mountain
as it now shows. and I predict a popula-
ton of 10000 people there in three or
four years, all Of whom will be working
and prosperous. When you stop to think
that the great Treadwell mine averages
only $2.75 per ton in gold gross, and after
using the cyanide process. pays 100000

of Thunder mountain, that has millions

ORE BODIES GALORE.
THEY ABOUND IN ALL PARTs OF
THIS STATE.
SAMUEL MOFFET SAW THEM
He Also Sized Up the Sumpter District
of Oregon and " as Much Pleased
With Its Showing Of
Mineral.

Samuel Moffet returned yesterday from,
a tour of the mining districts OF the
state and reports great activity in many
of them. Being in search of good prop
erty for an eastern syndicate, he made
close inspection OF every vein with
which he came in contact and has no
hesitancy in saying he saw some OF
which he would like to become the pos
SCISSOR. Among other places visited was
the West Fisher. in Flathead county.
He says there are several mills in OPP
GRAFTON in that district. and they are
pounding out gold and silver for their
owners. The veins. however. are of tn"
blanket brand, high up in the hills and
rather difficult of access, but neverthe-
less their owners get the ore out all
right and market it.
Recently Mr.. Moffet also visited the
sumpter district of Oregon and foun .
there conditions that warrant the belief
that it is a good mining country. The
veins carry both gold and copper. There
are whole mountains of good placer
gravel. says he, and they are being
worked right along.
"CalifOrnia is not in it with Oregon
when it comes to this class of mining.
says Mr.. Moffet. II saw a piece of ore
about the size Of a mans head that CON
tanned $1,000 worth Of gold. 1t came
from the Virtue mine, near Sumpter.'
James Moffe:, who with j. b. Cleve-
land and r. B. Wallace took nearly 5000. :
600 worth of ore from the Orphan Girl
mine, in this city. several years ago, has
fine-looking property near Pierre lake,
short distance south of the boundary
line between British Columbia and the
state of Washington and is preparing to
develop it. He also has some claims in
the Sumpter district that promise well.
James Moffet is a brother of Samuel
and Thomas Moffet. The latter is no "
managing a mine near Sumpter.

LEASED The U. S. GRANT.
A Former Butte Man Thinks the Prop
ertv Is All Right

Walter NJ Brown, mining engineer,
has taken a lease and bond on the U. S.
Grant mine. in Madison county, which it
is said has yielded more rich specimens
of gold ore than any other property in
Alder gulch. Mr.. Brown was in Butte
a few days ago and when he left it was
with the intention of going east TO
transact some business in connection
with the property with which he has
identified himself. Prior to taking hold
of the y. s. Grant, Mr.. Brown was SUI
perintendent of the Kennett mine and
was largely instrumental in transform
ing that property into paying PROPOSE
ton. For three years he was member
of the engineering corps of the Boston
& Montana, but resigned to take charge
of the Willard mine. in Madison county.
