ROAD TO OPEN MONTANA LINE
Train Service on Pacific Coast Extension Rails
Being Laid Westward At Rate Of -Four
Miles A Day.


Important steps in progress of the
coast extension of Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway were announced
yesterday by F. A. Miller, general pas
senger agent. Train service will be es-
tablished January u to Marmarth, thirty
miles west of Bowman, North Dakota,
the present end of the line. On the
same date local service will be put on
between Harlowton and Musselshell,
Montana. These towns are in the
central part of Montana and are ninety
two miles apart.
WILL RUN TO BUTTE SOON.
Work has advanced so rapidly that
trains will probably be running between
st. Paul and Butte sometime IN May or
June. By the middle of February it is
expected that most of the construction
work viii be finished. Already grading
has been practically completed and rails
are being laid at the rate of four miles
a days.
Marmarth, to which trains will be run
is about 200 miles west of Missouri
river. While construction crews are
advancing westward from this place
others are working eastward along the
Musselshell valley. 1t is thought that
the two lines will be connected and the
bridge built across Yellowstone at Miles
City by the middle of next month. Ac-
cording to present plans the Milwaukee
& st. PauPs coast extension VIII be
completed to Seattle early in 1909. Chi

MACHINERY FOR
ROCKEFELLER

(From Our Own Correspondent
J. C. Scott, who has been east for the
past five months, is expected in in q few
days with a full equipment Of hosting
machinery, pumps, ETC., in order to re-
sumo active operations on his shaft at
the south side of the White Elephant.
He is down ia feet and will sink to the
300-foot level.
An offer has been made to Thomas G..
Cockings of the Cockings & Holden
firm for nine claims by San Francisco
parties, the figures going into the thou
sands, but it has not been accepted al
though a deal may terminate in a few
days. This is desirable property, as
they have q 20-foot ledge which assays
better than $12 at grass roots and is
the largest low grade proposition in
the Rockefeller district.
Bailey Brothers, who have a prop
erty near the shaft of Scott & Co., and
who suspended work a year ago, have
~replenished the exchequer and are now
going to resume operations with re-
newed vigor. They intend sinking to
the 300-foot level. Their shaft is now
down los feet in quartz assaying as
high as $9S. The lack of pumps and
machinery caused them to suspend for
a while.
George Dean and associates are ar.
ranging 10 sink a 300-foot shaft near
Bailey Brothers property, one mile
from Cactus spring.
1t is reported here that the Trapman
claims, ten in number, have been sold to
San Francisco capitalists for a hand
some sum, one m being that $685.
900 was the price paid. The first pay
ment has been made. This is the most
substantial deal since the opening of
the camp.
George Spencer has done assessment
work on tw~enty-four claims for the past
four years. He has rock of shipping
grade in several of the holes.
The shaft of Adolph Neaher & Co. is
now down ninety-eight feet. The lat
est assay was $24 in gold, So in copper
and four ounces of silver. Pumping
has been ordered.

NEW CAMP OF SILVERF1ELD
HAS PROMISING PROSPECTS

Silverfeld is the latest camp in Nye
county laying claim to white metal
honors, says the Sun. The name is as
new as the camp and has an odd little
trick in its sound; moreover, being a
sister name to that of the big gold
camp, it suggests large things in the
way of silver. It's site is a sheltered
little valley, with plenty of wood and
water we'll up ON the eastern slope of
the Kawich range, where the Reveille
pass breaks through. The county road
that traverses the pass connects the
new camp with the world generally both
east and west.
The reason for Silverfield is the re-
cent startling strike on the nearby
Never Sweat and the close proximity of
the Cornforth property, both of which
are on the eastern slope of the divide.
The Never Sweat strike has already
aroused an interest verging close upon
excitement and there is the sharpest
kind of competition for favorable loca-
lions. The strike has the more signif-
canoe for those who are already aware
of the remarkable liberalization dis
closed by the developments upon the
Cornforth.
The latter estate consists of three
claims located in 1905 by Sweet and
Brannick and were among the first To-
cations made in that section. They
were optioned to Denver parties for
$5O.O 900 and under the option an incline
shaft was sunk to a depth of 140 feet
at the bottom of which an 1S-inch pay
streak shows values running better
than $50 in gold and silver, with very
rich stringers that go from $4,000 to
4 5000 in gold. A twenty-five ton ship
ment made last summer gave a return
of $3.50 per ton.
On account of the financial strin-
cency work was abandoned last sum
mer and the option finally allowed to
lapse, but shortly after the Never
Sweat strike the option was renewed
at an advance in price of $4,000, upon
which early in May $4,000 were paid
The present owners propose to develop
the property by double compartment
tunnel tapping the ledge at 800 feet
depth and are now working fifteen mer
Grading a road from the county road
to the proposed tunnel site, a distance
of 2,lO0 feet. A ffty-horse power com
pressor will be installed by june 10, thu
company having already contracted fol
twenty-three tons of freight In tha'
connection
The Never Sweat, the sensational
strike upon which has called Silverfiel'
into existence, was located early las
wear by +. A. Snow, then superintend
ent upon the Cornforth, and with thre'
other claims was last fall optioned 4
Salt Lake parties. After testing tn

surface groupings of the ledge by shafts
mel, the ledge being encountered at a
depth of 140 feet, after drifting some
$50 feet. The strike was verified by
following one wall for some twenty-five
feet and prosecuting at that point.
The width of the ledge has not been de-
termined, but as far as explored con
sists of infused rhyolite cut by parallel
veins of quartz porpIyry. One of these
veins, some twenty-five inches wide,
showed values in silver running above
$1,000.
After having proved the extraordi-
nary character Of the strike the option
holders temporarily suspended until
they should be able to close their OPP
ton, which by the way, had expired,
and formulate definite plans for perma-
nent development. Every attempt was
made to keep the knowledge of the
strike from becoming general, but by
the merest accident J. w. Landquist of
this city got an linking of the matter
and made a quick trip to the scene of
the find. BY a happy circumstance he
found means Of exploring the workings
and sampling the ore. AS a result he
took early opportunity by the forelock
and got in on the ground fioor with
some very promising locations. A re-
cent trip taken last week, at which time
he had several days on the ground, re-
vcaled a general scramble for ground
anywhere in the vicinity of the strike
and an interest throughout all the sur
rounding camps that promises to de-
velop into something like a rush for
Silverfeld.
The eastern slope of the range diff
fers greatly from the western, or Belle
helen district. The surface is much
more rugged and precipitous, the forma-
naturalization more pronounced. The
country rock is a rhyolite cut through
from east to west by porphyry and
black granite dykes running into the
range proper, which has a north and
south course. The Kawich range is one
Of the most extensive and heavily min
e~ralized in the county and upon it have
been developed such notable discoveries
as Typo, Clifford, Silverfeid, Bellehelen,
Horseshoe, Golden Arrow, Eden, Silver
Bow and Kawich.
The proposed railroad from Ely, as
surveyed, crosses the range at Warm
Springs pass, which will bring it within
twelve miles of Silverield. With this
line built, which seems now more than
probable and the Guggenheim smelter
at Ely an assured fact, Silverfeld and
all other Kawieh camps could come into
immediate prominence. But even with
out railroad facilities the discovery Of
a few more Never Sweats will assure
Silverfeld an immediate large activity
and rapid development.
