Point claim, near Basin, belonging to DR..

$22.l6, and slight trace of copper. The
initial shipment to the East Helena
smelter will be made shortly Ore of a
similar quality has also been found in the
J. T. claim, which adjoins the Rocky
Point on the west. A large force of men
will be put at work on both properties at
once, sufficient development work having
been done to satisfy the owners that both
mines will prove to be dividend payers.
G. W. Walker and P. Portugal have
struck pay Ore in their claim on Cherry
creek Flathead county. The values are
in gold, copper and lead. The Mission
Peak Mining company, which has a large
body of ore running from IS to 500 ton
TN gold, will build an $4,000 cyanide plant
for the treatment Of it's ores. E. The ore, on
the whole, it has been found, will not
permit of successful treatment at a stamp
mill, but will yield profit by the cyanide
treatment. .s's,t .>S
