Opened by Three Tunnels-Working
for Seventeen Years.
The Muscular thus describes the
Montana-Standard, on which big
strike was made last week. a descrip'
ton of which will be found on the
first page:
The Montana-Standard is one Of 2
group of nine mines that &c. Muir
ply has been prospecting and devel
oping for nearly II years. This
group is now owned by company In
which Mr.. Murphy is still heavily in.
terested, and there has been much
work done recently. In all there are
three tunnels on the property. The
ledge crops out on the top OF the
mountain, the first tunnel being dri.
ven to cut the vein at depth of 100
feet. The second tunnel is 600 feet
deep, and in this the lead was cut at
depth of $50 feet. The third tun-
mel is the one in which the present
work is being done and Is In 1900
feet. In this tunnel the vein has
been cut 900 feet from the surface.
This gives three openings upon the
vein.
In the 1900 foot tunnel. the vein
is better and bigger than In either OF
the other tunnels above. The vein
is more than ten feet wide at this
point. Just how wide 1t is will not be
known until the crosscut Is cOmplet-
ed. In this tunnel there is six
inch stringer of rich ore that runs
$11S to the ton. It Is as nice galena
as was ever found anywhere, and 1t
will be shipped at once. The bal
ance of the vein at this point Is good
milling ore, running as high as $50.
The Montana-Standard Is IL miles
from Thompson. The company owns
water right on Prospect Creek and
has a hume two and half miles
long. This fume has the capacity
to develop more than 500 horse
power. At present. $50 horsepower
Is the extent to which 1t Is being
used. The plan Is to use the rest OF
the available power for the opera
ton of the COMMENTATOR. There IL
a three drill compressor used In the
present operations Of the company.
The 1900 foot tunnel Is u feel
above the creek, 50 there Is plenty Of
room for the operation Of a concen
traitor, and the company has suffi

There Is an abundant timber suppl,
and the company has bought a large
tract Of land, upon which townstt
Is to be laid out. The opinion OF those
who are familiar with the mine Il
that the discovery Of rich ore Is tn
