WEST FISHER SPAWN,
CuIIed from the Last Issue of the
Gazette.

Gazette.
Little Joe has made a strike of
new ore in the face of the tunnel.
Three or four feet of a new kind of
quartz has come in, looking like car
Donates, gray, sandy, lumpy-kind of
rock which may prove of much value.
Pan tests have brought to the surface
good colors. and the indications are
that the strike is an important one.
1t is new kind of ore on this propo-
sition and samples were taken out
this week for assay tests. The Little
Joe still shows up strong and under
development is becoming more valu-
able every day.
I Charles McGovern of Libby yester-
day staked off his Orphan claim, which
he located few weeks ago. He
was in town yesterday exhibiting
some fine looking specimens of gold
bearing quartz taken from the proper
ty, one of which was a particularly
handsome piece, and in which could
be seen several colors with the naked
eye and the glass brought up some
punches of fine gold. The vein is
not large-about 20 inches-but it
doesn't require very much of that kind
OF rock to make a bonanza 1t is a
fissure vein, and the claim is situated
mile southeast of here, the dump
being in sight of the town. A. G.
Harris of Libby is associated with Mr..
McGovern in the property and it is
the intention to do considerable de-
velopment work this summer.
Being little shy of pocket money
at present. we would like to stake some
the new town at the head of Flathead
the principle of the fellow who hired
a man to pull driftwood out of the
Missouri river for half. Only a few
applications received.
M. Brick was a Gazette caller last
Wednesday. He is enthusiastic over
the mining outlook in West Fisher

in store for it. He has promised us
some samples from the we'll known
Brick & Brannigan for our cabinet,
which we hope to have soon on dis
play in our Office.
Dave Good will put in the season
here prospecting, and expects to take
to the hills within a few days. Mr..
Good was one of the successful pros
pectors of the of the Kootenai lake
region and naturally wants to get in
on something in district like West
Fisher, which is coming to the front
at such nice gait.
! Arthur Zimmerman was probably
the first prospector from outside dis
tricts to arrive in West Fisher for {
seasons work. He has been campet
but so far has been able to work only
along some of the lower hills on the
south side. He is formerly from The
Tobacco Plains range, below White
hall.
| The Great Northern right-of-wa,
, man, according to reports reaching
/ here, has been settling with SWAMI
: creek ranchers for a distance of abou
: Is miles out from Libby, and is eS
pected to continue the work furthe
. up the creek and on West Fisher
5 The prospects are therefore reason
l ably strong that the cutoff will b
= built not great ways off in the fl
. ture. This lettering of transports
ton facilities for West Fisher will b
a great thing for the camp, and W
will all be glad to see the work begir
t But whether the line is built this yea
or not, West Fisher will see quite a
active season from a mining stant
: point, or else all signs fail.
