ONE OF THE GREATEST.
Practical Mining Men Studying
Homcstakc Ore Belt.

Practical as well as scientific mining
men are studying the great Holncstnke
ore belt with profound and increasing i'll
tercst. Thebclt is now regarded as one of
the greatest sources OF ore i'll the world,
and has produced during the last twenty
six years. according to the director of the
United States mint, $1O0,000,00 in gold
bullion. The development of the ore
bodies OH this belt has contributed in an
important way to the commercial great
ness of the middle west. The belt is in
reality a series or system of segregated
lodges enclosed by slate walls. The
lodges are vertical, and may be traced
for miles across the country by their
groupings. The belt has a trend of
northwcsterly and ~southcasterly, the
Homcstake proper being situated to-
wards the northcrly extremity. For
twenty-four years this company has not
missed a dividend, and during that time
its stock has risen from SIS to 50 a share
to ovcr 500 Il share, and is only to be
obtained during the process of settling
estates, as it has not been on the open
market for several years. Tho company
pays out monthly nearly 100000, and
this is being increased with every year.
On the southerly end of this belt is
situated the Uncle Sam mine, owned by
the Clover Leaf Mining Company. When
this company was organized four years
ago it stock could be purchased for 90
cents a share. Today it is not for sale
at 500 a share. The mine has Nbeen
opened up at big expense, and is supply
ing rich free gold ore to a stamp mill.
New hosting works have been put in,
and the company is charging it's mill.
Next to the Uncle Sam on the east is
the property of the Manila Gold Mining
Company. which is being developed with
u deep shaft. On this ground a ledge is
being followed whose surface outcrop
shows IL width of 100 feet. The fact that
$500 men are employed along this belt,
with a daily pay roll of $11 600; monthly
pay roll of $S33339,9S0. and yearly pay roll
of $4,O70, $50, and the further fact that
the ore exposure is estimated to be sufii-
cient to support a population of 100000
emphasizes what it means to its patroniz-
ing territory.
