The Northern Gold Mining cOmpe ny,
largely a close corporation COMPOSED

extensive plans proposed, to he Of the

The final matters in the transfer were
completed yesterday with the convey

acres of placer ground from John c.
Brickley and D. s. Dickson OF quartz

Mining company in addition TO the
property last acquired owns 1a) acres
of promising placer ground near Okan-

several Missoula members of the COR
poration, who are practical ana actlVe
mining men, are two eastern capitalists

plans for working the newly acquired
property are to have erec-ei at once a
modern improved gold dIedse. This
apparatus already in coul So of erection
at San Francisco, will be completed
ana ready for operation ~ early spr1ne'

FERGUS COUNTY IS BOOMING
Six Cyanide Plants in Operation
Gold Yield From $4,000 to

Fergus county is one of the greatest
mining districts in the state and will
soon be producing a much larger
amount of gold, though there are now
six cynaide plants in operation, pro-
ducing from $4,000 to $4,000 a month
each.' said George E. Price, the min
ing man, who has just returned from a
trip through the county and was inter-
viewed by the Helena Record. II tried
to get mining men to go in there ten
years ago, but just as I was getting
them interested, their attention was di-
verified somewhere else. 1t will be tine

MINING AROUND BIG TIMBER
What the Big Timber Correspondent
of the Helena Record Says
NJ the ProspeCta.

Big Timber Mont, Aug. 14.-George
Hatch and his associates in the Granite
Mountain mine have taken out a carload
of high grade ore and have let contract
to U. G.. Keller to haul it from the mine
to the depot here for shipment to the
East Helena smelter. This will be the
first shipment, except sample lots. mace
from this mine and the returns Will no
doubt influence the future of this mine
as we'll as the Crazy Mountains district.
E. B. Clark, Henry Lamb. William
Bramball and William Boyd returned
last night from the Boulder mineral dis
trict. They report placer mining unusu-
ally active and more successful than for
years, everybody seemingly being in
luck. There are also more prospectors
in the mountains than there have been
for years.
Mansfield Bryant came down from
Cowles Monday afternoon and will re-
turn Thursday. He says there are about
25 men working there and turning out
the yellow metal at a rate that will make
big dividends for the stockholders and
place Eph Cowles among the million-
aires.

THREE IMPORTANT SECTIONS
They Are Gradually Coming Together
-Heinze Would Sell for
$4,000. 600 or Less

In discussing the concentrations of
copper interests in the United States
the New England Sta-:st says:
The business of brn ,ing together,
under one management. all of theaim-
portant copper producing properties Of
the country has received, and Ia lstll
receiving, the most careful attention.
Barring the time it has thus far taken
to bring the various interests together,
which has naturally been prolongea By
the opposition of the Heinze forces in
Montana, the copper amalgamations l:as
presented no very formidable sna4s.
There are three important cooper
producing sections of the country. sOne
is in Montana, the other is in Michigan
while the third is in Arizona. The Mon
tana situation, according to these who
have had the best opportunities for as
certaining facts, is at the present. time
in such shape that the Amalsamated
interests can, whenever they desire,
force the issue and win the battle
Heinze. it is said by those who know
him intimately. would even today, and
with the lucrative Minnie, Fealey prop
erty in his possession, sell out for
sum that would be rather less than
more than 5000, 900. People acc ,pt at
a liberal discount any statements to the
effect that Heinze will not sell out at Il
figure many times larger than the one
named above.
ALLOWING that the Ama!salnatel
company is in a position ~ take pos
session of the Montana field at its leis-
ure, there then remains the Lake. In
this section there are no unpleasant
legal entanglements. In the Calumet &
Hecla there is, it must be admitted, an
unknown quantity, but, asid, from that
property there is good reason for be-
lieving that the Amalga.1l-ted can at
its leisure and at reasonable prices take
over the remaining important proper
ties.

the United Verde, are the important
Arizona producers at the present time.
All of these properties car be acquired
