Items Cleaned From Late Reports

"A Prosperous Year Is Predicted
Mining Notes and Personals.

One of the greatest bodies of gold ore
being exploited in the northwest is that
shown in the Chickades group of the
Great Northern Mining and Develop
ment company at Gilt Edge, Fergus
county, Montana. This company has
been operating about three years, and
has a cyanide plant on it's properties
that is reducing about $500 tons of ore
monthly. The mill has worked more
than 100000 tons of ore, and there is
at present an estimated body of 100000
tons in the mines, blocked out and
ready for extraction, an amount suffi-
cient to keep the mill running steadily
for ten years. The ore in the vicinity
of the Chicadee is nearly all of high
er grade than the general average of
the cyaniding ores of that part of the
state. 1t is the opinion of nearly every
mining man acquainted with the dis
trict that the ore bodies follow the con-
tact of the lime and porphyry around
the rim of the mountains for several
miles. This theory has been verified
many times of late, as ore has been dis
covered along the line of the contact
at various places for nearly five miles.
