MINES IN MANY CAMPS.

The richest strike In the history OF
the Kendall district has been made
with the discovery of an entirely new
body of ore In the North Moccasin,
owned by John A. Drake. a Chicago
aud New York millionaire. Mr.. Drake
has opened up what is said to be one
of the richest beds of cyanide ore ever
found in Montana, and Ii insures large |
earnings for the company of which |
he is the head.
Nelson, B. CD. l.. Ratallack has
left for Ottawa as a delegates from the
Nelson board of trade and as repre-
sentative of the lead mine owners of
the SLOGAN. Mr.. Ratallack carried
with him a carefully prepared state
ment with detailed figures of the lead
industry. The bounty on lead expires
in June next, and it is asked that the
dominion government extend it for
five years, making it payable with
lead at 10 pounds and under instead of
16 pounds or under, as before. The
figures show conclusively the tremen-
dous effect the bounty has had upon
the production of lead. Mines which
had closed down when there was no
bounty opened up again. The produc-
ton of lead, which was dropping year
by year before 1903, has increased
again until the output is larger than
ever before. The Canada Zinc works
has applied for a franchise for the
carrying of heavy voltage line
through the city to their works. This
probably will not be granted, as by
law will have to be passed by the peo-
pie, a great majority of whom favor
public franchises.
