Limestone is Mineral.

According to a decision rendered in
the Great Falls land office the North
ern Pacific Railroad company will be
compelled to relinquish its title to the
lands upon which the Albright lime
stone quarries in this county are To-
Gated.
The cevidence in the case was TAX
en- several months ago. The land is
located within the limits of lie land
grant of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, but limestone having been
found upon 1t, a contest arose as to
whether limestone was properly ii be
classed as a mineral. The land office
decided that it was a mineral, and as
the land grant to the railroad com-
pany excludes the right Of the COM
pany to claim any land which con-
tains mineral, the company will lose
its title
The government examiners report
ed that they could find no mineral, al
though the land contained limestone.
The department contends that lime
stone is mineral. Under the decision
it is probable that the Northern Pa
cific claim may be extinguished, and
the Albright and other entrymen will
complete their titles to the property,
which is said to be extremely valu-
able.
Notice of the decision of the land
office has been sent to the officials Of
the railroad, and il no action is taken
by the latter within 80 days the pa
pers will be forwarded to Washing
ton.

A Good Outlook.

The Surprise group of mining
claims, located neal the mouth of
Spotted Horse gulch, and bonded by
". D. Riser as a representative Of
Spokane parties, from A. H. Sellers,
is looking exceedingly favorable. Six
hundred fee of tunnels have been put
in and a shaft sent down $50 feet. The
shaft runs through a body of good ore
which extends along almost the entire
depth. The group consists of eight
claims and a mill site. Eight thous
and dollars have already been expend-
ed in the development of the claims
and prospects are favorable for a mill
next summer. ]. c. Luckenbel, who

Some More Speculation.

The much talked Of big deal ap.
pears just rs far from a consumma-
tion as ever. There has been so much
newspaper speculation about the con-
templated sale that a great many peo-
pie have about decided that it was
mostly all talk from the start. There
is but n person in Fergus county
who can speak with anything like au-
thority on the subject and that is
John A. Drake, who is temporarily so.
journing in Gilt Edge. and he has
been very careful not to say anything
about it. A mining man, who is
prominently interested in the North
Moccasins, probably came as close
to the present status of the negotia-
lions as anyone here can, when he
said: "All W know is that a num-
Der of experts have examined the
properties included in the negotia-
tions; some of them have told us that
their reports would be favorable, 9th
ers have said nothing. But their re
ports are not the determining factors.
It is understood that the buyers are
looking around for one of the three or
four really world renowned mining
engineers. He will come here, look
over the reports of the other engi-
neers make a personal examination
and upon his report the purchasers
will act. It is talked among mining
men that the principal drawback to
the of the deal at present is
the exorbitant price asked for the out.
laying claims which have never pro-
duced any pay rock but which the
syndicate very much desires to be in
Guided in their purchase. This, how
ever, may be a speculation like a
great many of the rest that has been
written. 1t is probable that neither
Mr.. Gates o Drake yet know wheth-
er or not the properties will change
hands, SO it appears to me that we
are a little premature in settling all
of the details of the business before
they make up their minds"

Development of Sapphire Mines.


The following preliminary report of
precious stone industry for 1902 is
submitted by Mr.. C. f. Kunz to the
United States geological survey:
THE year 1902 has been remark
able in the precious stone industry in
America in a number of particulars,
among which the following may be
especially noted: The finding of a
new locality for .sapphires in Mon
tana-a new creek, in the bed OF
which sapphires are found associated
with gold, as in the Rock Creek re-
gion at Yogo Gulch, and on the Mis-
souri, near Helena; a further develop
ment of a new mine of the blue sap
phire in Fergus county; and the con
tinued workings of the other two
mines In the same state. Then comes
the mining and development OF the
old beryl localities in Mitchell county,
N. c., and the development of the
beryl locality of Grafton, N. H. An
amethyst mine has been opened In
South Carolina, and two new amethyst
deposits have been found in the state
of Virginia. The mining of rubellite
in San Diego county, CAL, continues,
and a new deposit near Banner in the
same region has been found. The fur
ther development of ~chrysoprase in
Tulare county, CAL, and the discovery
of new localities in Buncomb county,
N. c., are to be noted. A deposit of
vesuvianite Gdocrase) has been dis
covered in central California. The
output of turquoise from eight or
more western localities continues, and
it has been discovered at two locali-

The Gold Reef Mining company of

their old property to a new claim re.
Gently acquired from Rice Dougherty
and others, struck a good body Of oxi.
died ore 600 feet under the surface.
At last reports a fifty-foot tunnel had
been made into the body indicating
that it is of considerable size. 1t as
sayed a good figure and will probably
be actively developed within a short
The tunnel is already over
1000 feet.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1903-03-04

Eight or ten different p%rospectors
are at work in the South Moccasins.
Although nothing very good has ever
been found out that way mining men
are confident that a strike will be
made some day. 1t is the general be-
lief among those who have studied the
formation Of the South Moccasin
that it will be necessary to go to con
siderable depth before striking pay
rock. Emmett Hamilton, who has if
teen claims out there. has struck good
cyanide ore running $40 on the Iron
Crown. He is tunneling and is al
ready in 10 feet.
