ACTIVITY AT WEST FISHER
The Blackwell Mining Company Has
Broken Ground for a Mill.

Reports from the West Fisher mining
district near Libby, Flathead county, are
to the effect that work on the various
zette, published at West Fisher gives a
very glowing account of mining opera
lions in the district. 1t says that Scott
Sanford, manager for the Blackwell COM
pany, and Contractor COwell arrived
there from Libby a few days ago and
began in earnest the work of the new
improvements for that company. Mr..
Cowell put force at work at once clear
ing and excavating at the mill site and
began getting out the heavy timbers for
the foundation, which We're being placed
in position yesterday.
Hamilton & belong, who have the
logging contract for the sawmill, are
pushing the work, and by the time the
engine and boiler arrive and the plant Is
ready for operation will have large
supply on hand. The work in hand will
require nearly 100000 feet of lumber.
Two crews of men have been working
this week on the road. fixing it sufficient
ly to make 1t passable for the heavy ma
chinery, which is expected to arrive to-
day. The road force covered a distance
as far as the Elliot ranch, II miles from
here.
Several miners have also been put on
the mine force and quite number To

UTAH OIL FIELDS ARE
COMING TO THE FRONT
Companies Now Being Formed Include
Many Butte Men-Future Looks
Bright for Utah.

Our company is the only one actually
at work in Utah in the oil fields" said
George E. Blair at the Finlen hotel last
evening.
There are great many companies
Incorporated and intending to do work in
Utah, Wyoming and some parts of Mon
tana but with the exception Of those Of
Wyoming little work has been accomp-
llshed. Alex. Tarbot Of Montana is in on,
company. In fact several people of this
state own considerable sock in our COM
pany, known as the White Star Oil COM
pany of Spanish Fork. Utah.
We are now boring at that place and
could have secured 20 barrel per day
stream on the 800 foot level but decided
to go down further. On the 500 foot level
We will certainly get what we are looking
for. The land in that vicinity is certainly
rich in the oil and expect to see a great
deal of money made in that district.
Throughout Wyoming and close to the
Montana line parties are busy boring
and drilling for oil. 1t is certain that
these states contain as good a quality
and as great a quantity Of oil as the
California oil fields. Within a year or
two the excitement Of these lands VIII
increase to the stampede which took
place in the coast state

that they were right in their predictions

sands Of dollars. He iuttmated that back

price OF the land at $50 per foot the total
being $1,000 but offered rebate Of so
a foot in case the purchasers should eX-
pend COO in the erection of a plant

NEW YORK MINING STOCKS.

NEW 4ORh STOCK GOSSIP-RepOrt-
ed by Fl. Holbert & Son-There is a
quiet absorption going on of the Nickel
Plate stocks by the Vanderbilt inter-
ests, and of Norfolk & Western by the
pennsylvania people. The buying of
Atchison is more general doubtless to a.
certain extent, but to an expectation that
the stock will continue to pay per cent
dividend, and that it will ultimately be
a per cent payer. Many here think
that the crop injury has been exagger-
ated, and that Atehison earnings will
practically show no diminution OF i'm
portance. We should think from all we
near that there will be no question as
70 the wisdom of holding Consolidated
Gas, and there is a steady buying of
Manhattan by people who believe that
IT'S earnings will be much greater under
the new conditions of electricity. Doubt
less the present quotations for stocks are
reasonably low, but the incentive to buy
IS not here and we can hardly look for a
speculative market on so little business
Ihese conditions are likely to remain un-
changed Tor month or more to come
therefore we hesitate to advise our
friends TO do more than buy moderately

of missionary work which the society did
not touch.
In the department of theological scnol-
