stated in this connection that the
charge OF the Democrat Of last week
that the Argus was premature in Civ.

The facts, as stated in the Argus last
week, were given out by the proper
officers and were not published with
the intention Of rejecting upon Mr..
Schultz any more than the charge IT,

the Argus is to give the news while II

During the calendar year Of 1902
Montana produced metals OF the value
OF SAG 1861, 1871. This is shown by
the annual report Of B. H. Tatem, as
saver In charge of the United States
assay Office in Helena, to the direct
or of the mint, which is given below.
As in the past, Mr.. Tatem's report,
which has just been nled at the nation
al capital. Is detailed and may be re-
garded as accurate as 1t Is possible
to make such a statement. Months
were spent in its preparation and 1t
ferns one of the most valuable sta
tistics on the mining industry OF this
state ever issued.
Although its metal output was ma
terially less last year than the year
before, Montana Is in no danger OF
losing its old name OF Treasure"
state. The loss is accounted for in
large part by the lower prices Of the
copper and lead mat prevailed In 1902.
The gold production was reduced in
part by the temporary closing OF
mills in Lewis and Clarke county, the
fact that the east Helena smelter was
shut down for a time and because OF
the lessened production Of the placers
of the state.
With gold and silver reckoned at
their coinage values, the metal out

When it is understood that the ay-
erage price Of copper in 1901 was
$16.117 per cwt., and for 1902 only
ST. 26, the falling on in the copper
values may be appreciated. The to.
tai decrease, as compared with the
production of 1901, is about % per
cent.
Mr.. Tatem's report shows that there
was wonderful advancement during
the year in certain sections Of the
state, notably Fergus county. The
cyanide process Of reducing ores Is
bringing about the development and
profitable operation of mines not be-
fore in the producing class. The re-
port shows that the Butte copper ores
are carrying greater values in gold
than ever before. During the year
notable improvements were complet.
ed in the reduction works at Anacon-
da, East Helena and other parts of
the state. On the whole Mr.. Tatem
finds the mining industry of the state
in a fiourishing condition.

From the above comparative table
It will be noted that the most at

Montana, the annual returns from this

An Argus representative visited the
camp at Surprise group, about two
and a half miles from Gilt Edge, dur
ing the past week and found the de-
velopment work on those properties
going right along. w. E. Wilson. Of
Maiden, has charge of the work and
speaks most encouragingly Of the out
look for the group. At present a tun-
mel is being driven to reach a body
of ore exposed on the surface further
up the mountain. The tunnel Is now
in the hill 100 feet, but 1t is not ex.
pected that the ore body will be reach
ed until some time in August. Mr..
Wilson's long experience in mining in
the Judith range thoroughly familiar
ICES him with the character Of the ore
deposits of that region, and his pre-
diction that the Surprise group will
become prominent ore producers with
development should be most encour-

surrounding Helena there is unusual
activity and in none more than N
the Wickes-C orbin district, where
things had been nearly at a stand still

feature in that district is the advent
of j. H. McCabe, who has located and
recorded mor than fifty claims in the
district between Wickes and Corbin.
Besides he has acquired title to sew
eral other properties and has bonded
the Nash ranch near Corbin. He has
fifteen men and a surveyor at work
