MINING ON BOULDER RIVER.
It Is Being Carried on With Great
Activity-Col. Noble Will

Charles r. Murdoch, manager of the
Standard Mining company of Contact,
Boulder district, was in the city this
week for the purpose OF purchasing sup
plies for the miners Mr.. Murdoch states
that all along the Boulder river mining
is being carried on with great activity.
His company, the Standard, has finished
the work Of clearing the site for the mill,
and the machinery is expected to arrive
very shortly. The mill will be five
stamps only at the outset, but it will be
the best mill in the county, size consid-
cred. The tramway from the mill to the
mines has been completed. The water
power is in perfect condition and moth
ing remains to be done except the set
ting up of the machinery when it ar
rives. Better ore is being found as the
development of the mines proceeds and
Mr.. Murdoch is perfectly sanguine of the
success of the company.
Col. David Noble, one of the old time
miners of Park county, returned Friday
from trip to the Boulder with a party
of eastern capitalists. These gentlemen
examined several prospects in the dis
trict and will return about the 10th of
August for the purpose of closing a deal
with Mr.. Noble for the purchase of his
property. Mr.. Noble also expects to

The East Helena Plant Is Biting OF
More Than It Can
Chew

Former Governor Grant, one of the
principal members of the operating corr,
pany of the American Smelling and Re
inning company. spent a couple of days
IN Helena last week looking over the
big plant at Helena, says the Record.
He confirms the announcement mad,
by the local management that new
furnace would be added to the CAPACITY
of the plant at once. He also said that.
Notwithstanding the recent large addi-
tons to this plant. it's capacity was all
ready taxed by the large quantity of
ore being received. He announced that
owing to the exceptionally good location
of the local works with reference to ore
supply. cheap power, fuel, ETC., further
additions might be expected from time
to time.
He also said the plant was one of the
best belonging to the smelter company
and had made an exceptional record
both in the quality of the work done
owing to the skill of the local managers
and its increase in production, and there
was every reason to believe that the
concern would have continued growth,
This, coming from man who has
made wonderful success in the smelt-
ing of ore in Colorado, is interesting to
the public, showing the Importance of
this factor in the growth of this city.

owes large par of her present great.

A visit to the Alabama claims on

The group comprises the Alabama, Skoo-

showing is on the Ala bama claim. Two
lodges have been uncovered to a con-

been stripped from the summit down the
mountain side for nearly 1000 feet and
at several points sunk down upon for a
snort distance. The width varies from
three to five feet the entire length and is

A LARGE CYANIDE PLANT
It Will Be Built on the Empire Mine
in the Marysville
District

WNrk has been commenced on a 500
ton cyanide plant for the Empire mine
IN Lewis and Clarke county, which will
be the largest cyanide plant in Mon.
tana. The contract calls for it's compie-
ton August Is, ready for operation. The
plant will treat first 10000 tons of tail
ings that have accumulated from the
previous operations of the Empire mill,
In addition to this. there are said to be
several thousand tons of ore opened up
in the mine. There is also a much
greater quantity of surface dirt living
below the outcrop. At one time the ore
shoot was much higher. The upper por-
ton broke off and the ore from it was
disintegrated by the action Of the at
mosphere and deposited on the side or
the mountain in the shape OF surface
dirt; all Of this surface dirt will be
miled. The Words treated a quantity
of it, when they owned the property. but
having no cyanide plant could noe make
a close saving.
The Empire is one Of the famous pro-
ducers of the Marysville district, having
produced over s1,5oO,0OO in gold under
the previous ownerships. The old work.
ings have since been cleaned out, much
Of it retimbered. and additional de-
velopment work done to open up the ore
bodies preparatory to the erection of the
cyanide plant. The Empire is another
addition TO the long list of old mines
which the closer saving effected by the
application Of the cyanide treatment and
extraction OF gold from the taihngs
after the ore has been put through the
amalgamation process. To the applica-
ton of the cyanide process. and the
closer saving effected thereby, is largely
due the rapidly increasing gold produc
ton of Lewis and Clarke county, which
will amount this year to upward of

The Great Northern group on the

the most noticeable being steel grey

ates. Four or five openings show a great
quantity of the metal. with sufficient
work done on the lead to show that the
proposition is a great one. A tunnel is
now being run to tap the ledge at depth,

A BLUE DRAGON ON GUARD
Coroner's Physician o'Hanlon Bravely
Encounters Him

when Coroner's Physician OHanlon
reached his Office yesterday he found
there a memorandum requesting him to
lcok after a case Of sudden death in the
dry goods district. The corpse lay In an
| once on the third floor of the building.
When he reached there the doctor found
| q policeman of gigantic proportions
guarding the doorway. The bluecoat,
| Coatless. was seated on one chair, with
ms feet cooked up on another. Beside
him was can of beer Of appropriate
proportions, and he was surrounded by
crowd of admiring dry goods clerks.
Dr. OHanlon. who is little man.
made his way deferentilly into the pres
ence of the officer and asked humbly
where the dead man lay. The member
of the finest looked him over reached

With the startling exclamation!"
"Rubber!'
The corners physician all but toppled
over. but recovering himself he repeated
Ills question In voice vibrating with
humility The huge bluecoat expanded
his chest and concealed a scornful smile
IN the can. Setting it down, he made an
elaborate gesture and roared:
ON to the tall timber!"
Or. OHanlon, now thoroughly irri-
tatted, fairly bristled (the dry goods
clerks were doubled up with mirth and
incoherent in it's expression) He ex-
claimed with fine emphasis:
will you direct me to the scene of the
fatality?'
The giant of the force again uuaffed
a mighty quaff and with cages and voice
leveled over his inquirer's head, he
reared:
Back to the wood!"
O'Hanlon danced and, almost foaming
at the mouth displayed his good badge
OF office. The policeman was on his
feet in a second. the dry goods clerks
were dispersed like chaff and with a
truly oriental salaam the big man ush-
