production of about 81, 900. The
property was operated continuously
during the eighties and the ore az.
eraged about $50 per ton in gold, with
some silver. The ore is about 10 per
cent free milling and with the modern
methods OF milling nov practiced a
nigh percentage of values can be say.
ed. The deepest present working in
the mine Is not much over 200 feet and
good ore has been found as deep as
the shaft has gone. On the same vein
and contact at the Spotted Horse
mine, which adjoins the Maginnis
mine on the north, high grade ore has
been found in good quantities on the
eighth level at a depth of $50 feet.
owing TO this fact there is little doubt
but that with depth the good ore OF
the Maginnis mine will be found to
continue. The present operators have
already made two shipments of hisn
grade ore TO the American Smelling
x Refining company 1t East Helena,
Mont, and will have a car load ready
for the third shipment about Decem.
Der l. The shipping ore averaged
about $3.50 per ton and much will aver
age considerably higher. The ore now
being extracted is a conglomerate and
frequently assays u over $500 per
ton in gold. The new company expect
TO sink 300 feet on the contact, equip
the shaft at once with a steam hoist
and carry on extensive development
at the 300-foot level. The main tun-
mel has already been re%-timbered and
repaired where necessary and a large
amount OF surface Improvements and
repairs made. An ore :iouse is now
being built to sort and sack the high
grade ore more economically. There
Is a force of twelve men at work and
at the Globe mine two shifts are driv-
ing a cross-cut tunnel to tap the old
workings, where large quantities of
ore were taken out at the time when
the mine was previously operated.
The ore at the Globe mine is an GA
idized quartz, strictly free milling and
averaging about Sic per ton, but run
ming as high as $64. The operations
al both mines are under the manag
ment of E. H. Crabtree. Mr.. r. W.

OF the new company, will spend the

Maiden in Prominence Again.

The old mining camp of Maiden is
again coming to the front and the
probabilities that 1t will soon again
be on the list of producing gold camps
are exceptionally good.
The Maginnis and Globe mines, own
ed by the Conrad-StanfOrd company,
of Great Falls and Helena, are now
under lease and option to purchase to
a New York company, who expect to
push operations as rapidly as possible
and 1t is very probable that the mill
will be In operation before the winter
is over and from the present outlook
the new company will have the mine
on a self-supporting basis very soon
II not on a dividend paying basis. In
an old property of this kind the e X
pense of repairs is considerable, but
there is a good deal of ore in sight
and not a great amount of develop
ment will be necessary to warrant
starting the mill. The Maginnis miEs
is one of the old-time producers Of
this district and is credited with the

New Mining Company Organized.

New Mining Company Organized.
A new mining company has been
formed with its principal place of
business In Lewistown. Fergus coun-
ty men are largely interested in the
proposition and 1t Is considered a good
thing. The Montana Daily Record has
the following to say of the company:
"A company with a paid up capital
stock of $500, 900 was Incorporated
with Secretary of State George M.
Hays during the day. 1t is called the
Cumberland and Gold Mining company
of Lewistown. Operations will be car
ried on in Fergus county. The cap
ital stock is $4,000 divided into $780,
900 shares of the par value of 81 each.
Oscar Stephens. the well known Fort
Maginnis sheepman, has subscribed
500, 600 of the stock. The other $780,
900 is subscribed equally by r. M.
Calkins, of Chicago and Peter Rosso,
of Maiden. In addition to the stock
holders H. H. Field, of Chicago. and
C. II. McNeider, of Mason City, are
named as directors"
The papers have been filed with the
clerk and recorder at the court house
and contain practically what is stat
ed above. The property is about a
mile and a half from Maiden and is
called the Cumberland property. IL is
in the same neighborhood as the old
Maginnis and Spotted Horse mines
and Is said to be a good thing.

Barnes.King May be Sold.

Ii has been rumored here for some
time that negotiations were on foot
for the transfer of the Barnes-King
mine to New York parties for a large
sum of money. Within the last few
days these rumors have been more
numerous and 1t is thought that the
deal Will be made in the near future.
j. H.. B%arnicoat, representing New
York parties, has been here for two
months or more and has been look
ing up the matter. Ross S. Craddock,
a mine expert from New York, was
here not long ago and looked the
ground yer carefully and made a
most favorable report to the prospec-
tive purchasers. An option was given
to these parties at a price of $780,
600, which option expired December
18th, but 1t has been extended. John
p. Barnes was seen by a representa-
tive of the Argus and admitted that
negotiations were in progress for the
absolute transfer of the mine and that
the time Of the option was almost up.
He corroborated the figures as given
here. 1t is said that E. w. King does
not seem inclined to sell his half in
terest in the mine and If he refuses 10
do SO the New York company is ready
to buy the other half interest.

he took seventeen tons of ore to the

New Year Mine to Reopen,

The preliminary arrangements for
the r~e-opening Of the old New Year
mine are now almost completed and
all old debts have been paid off by
the new company. Papers were re-
ceived here Monday from San Fran
cisco and that day all the liens against
the company were settled and drafts
mailed to meet other Indebtedness.
The claim of Joseph Meredith was set
tied for 81, 800, and in a few days ev-
erything will be in readiness to start
work. Whether or not Mr.. Meredith
will have charge of the plant is not
known, but he has been offered the
position. Much credit Is due him for
his conscientious work at the mine.
He has stuck by it through all its hard
times and now that there is light ahead
and the prospects are bright for sue
cess he is to be congratulated on his
good work. Development work will
be started at n C and it is the gen.
eral opinion that the New Year will
be one of the best paying producers
in the county.

Proof of the boys Halloween pranks
was much in evidence this morning.
The spirits had elevated a saw horse
and saw to the top of the flag pole,
where mother goose is liable to hit it
in passing with her broom. stick. The
spirits seem to take an especial delight
in transposing and transporting
vehicles. If this labor was required
by law, how arduous it might become
eh, boys?
Later accounts from the Halloween
doings show that some people had
narrow escape from serious harm
Some steps from Mr. Fadden's house
had been left by the roadside near f
p Webb's. A team carrying three
men from of the mountain was pass
ing this morning when the horse took
fright, throwing the men out suddenly
and finally upsetting the wagon and
getting thrown in the ditch. The men
escaped with no broken bones, also
the horse, but some "bones" of the
wagon were much the worse for the
wear and tear. Boys, let your fun be
TEN pered with reason. We suppose
this was thoughtless bit of fun, but
let the boys beware of serious conse-
quences. "a word to the wise, etc.
