Four feet OF solid shipping ore was
discovered in the Bear Top mine, at
Murray, Friday, at depth OF 500
feet. BY Tuesday the ore shoot had
been proved for over 40 feet without
any diminution In quality. Com
menting on the strike, the Murray
Sun says:
1.-The good news Of the strike at
the Beartop was somewhat discount
ed by the feeling OF confidence that it
was coming. There was little doubt
the ore was there, but Its appear
ance as the work progressed was
watched for with much interest.
Nevertheless, when the first shots
brought to view nearly two feet of
solid shipping ore there was happy
bunch around the Beartop, and as
this body had increased to double the
width with the next round of shots
the Joy was unbounded and the good
tldings rapidly spread over the camp.
"The ore body was encountered In
the east drift on the 8OO-foot level
and with each successive shot since
the ore was encountered has shown
improvement. The ore is a fine grade
OF shipping galena.

BEAR TOP PROVES BONANZA
Four Feet of High Grade Ore Found
on 8OO-foot Level

Probably no strike In the North
Side district could have been made
which would have been more far
reaching In Its good effects. The
Beartop having been shipper ia
more widely known than most North
Side properties and the proof that
the fine ore bodies shown in the up
per workings 90 down to unknown
depths and retain their values will
be Of incalculable benefit to the dis
trict.
"All eyes had been focused on the
work there and as the miners hund-
reds OF feet under ground approach
ed the locality where 1t was calculat-
ed the ore should be the interest in
creased. When the vein was cut, as
so often occurs, in barren place.
there was some disappointment. but
with faith undaunted the work Of
drifting was commenced. After
drifting few feet to the west ore
was found. but 1t did not stay. and
after exploring further the east
drift was started and 1t was here the
ore body in which they are now
working was found"

The property consists of two and

THE IDAHO AND SPRING GULcH
Lower Tunnel is in 635 Feet, 26O

C00S OO0R
Indications at the Idaho & Spring
Gulch property, near Carter, Mont,
are more than encouraging. A Swan
son, the manager, was in town this
week with samples of ore. Some of
these were from the surface and some
from tunnel run higher up than
the present workings. There is a
splendid showing of copper all
through the Nck and in places there
is lead-silver Of high grade. The
lower tunnel-is now in 635 feet and
has reached depth Of $50 feet. 1t
Is ext feet in the clear. 1t is esti-
mated that the tunnel will have to
be run 500 feet yet before the ledge
Is reached. This will give vertical
depth of $50 to 600 feet.
The property OF the company con-
sists of six full claims and a fraction,
located three miles from the st. Paul
road, and three and quarter miles
from the Northern Pacific, but across
the river. The chief owners with Mr..
