Surveyors Making Soundings of the

The Lombard party of surveyors
who have been at work on the JOckO
cutoff have completed their work and
the majority of the men returned to
Kalispell Wednesday night. The bal
ance under the charge of Mr.. LON
bard are at work making soundings
of the Flathead river at Holt, the site
of the proposed bridge. The river at
that point is wide and deep, and the
party will spend some time in making
thorough soundings. If built, the
bridge will cross the river close to
the present ferry.
With the completion of their work
of final surveys will begin the actual
this fall is very probable, and while
the railroad officials who are in po-
sition to know, are reticent and have
little to say, it is generally under

standardizing of the Great Falls &
Canada, the majority of the outfits at
work there will be transferred to this
county for work on the long wished
for north and south line. When once
started no time will be lost, and in
side of a year the products of the
Flathead valley mills and farms will
be hauled to Butte and Anaconda
without making the long round about

RECORD PRICE ON CATTLE.
Ccnrad-Price Shipment Beats the
Bloom Figures.

Northern Montana range cattle con-
tinue to break records on the Chi
cago market the last record being
made by two carloads of steers from
the Conrad-Price Cattle company,
shipped from Chinook with the Bear
Paw pool outfit Six dollars and so
cents has been the highest figure in
20 years, until the present season,
and when the Bloom outfit smashed
this figure with $3.50, it was thought
the top had been reached, that being
the highest figure ever recorded for
range cattle.
The Conrad-Price shipment, how
ever, make the Bloom prices look
easy. One carload brought $7.15, and
three other carloads were sold for
ST, which also was record breaker.
Cattlemen all over northern Mon
tana are feeling jubilant, and it is
predicted that even the S715 figure
will be beaten before the end is
reached, although it is a great deal
to expect.

c. o. D. Opens Body of Gold Ore

For years past the G. o. ID. mine has
been known rs one of the greatest sill
yer properties in the territory of Ari-
zona and it has always been worked
for that metal alone. Recently the
drift on the 80 level was extended
westward in search for a new chute
and at point 4lO feet from the main
shaft an ore body carrying from one
ounce to four ounces in gold was en-
countered. The drift is now 10 this
ore 70 feet without break. About a
hundred tons of the ore has been run
through the mill and a product run
ming high in silver and between FIVE
and six ounces gold obtained. A new
streak has come in near the breast of
the drift that runs as high rs l5) ounces
silver to the ton. The ground is vir-
gin to the surface above this ore chute,
over 80 feet. Ia the east drift from
the same level a body of rich ruby and
native silver ore has been broken into.
This ore is in another chute never be-
fore opened in the mine. So far three
distinct ore chutes have been opened
up and each one is producing ores of
high value. The mill is now turning
out four tons of concentrates every
twelve hours. No stopping Is being
done, all the ore now being milled com
ing from the drifts. In the new work
ings large increase in the flow of wa
ter has been encou ntered and a supply
for all needs is now being pumped to
the surface. Heretofore water had to
be used over many times to give the
mill the necessary amount. The mine
shows the longest unbroken ore chute
ever opened up in Mohave county aud
the ore is all of milling grade. Thorn
as Mcmahon has charge of the mine
for the com pany aud his knowledge of
the ground and the lay of the ore bod.

that Mr. Doran is about to take over

exposed in the upper levels, while it

and the fact that no machinery for the
handling of water has ever been put in,
