The cave-in at the North Moccasin is
serious one and will curtail pro-
duction there until the damage can be
repaired, but the mine itself is in good

Barnes King is handling an immense
lot of ore and has opened fine new

as usual and the Abbey looks better
all the time. At the Gold Links, oper-
ations had to be suspended in the win

the pipes bursted. The break oc-

runs through the slum pile and is 80
feet under ground. An effort to un-
cover it resulted in cave in the
slums, so that this was given up for
a time. With the favorable conditions
now prevailing, the repairs can be
made without great difficulty.
Assessment Holds Up.
The real property assessment in the
camp will be somewhat lower than
last year but this will be met by the
increase in the net proceeds of the
mines, the Barnes-King being repre-

says:
Wool buyers are now making their
second invasion of Montana, and dur
ing the past week have visited several
of the wool marketing centers of the
state. Wool is stronger now than
when the buyers first visited the state
in January, owing to the belief that
the tariff on wool will not be dis
turbed, or, if it is, that the change will
not operate against the woolgrowing
industry. This, with satisfactory con-
ditions in the London market, and a
general improvement in conditions in
this coutry, has stimulated the mar
ket somewhat Twenty-one cents
was offered for wool in Fergus county
last week, but the clips were first class
ones and the growers are not inclined
to accept even this, which is about a
cent higher than most offers made in
January.
Sales in Billings.
Several wool buyers representing
Boston concerns arrived in Billings
last week to be in readiness for the
spring and summer campaign. Re-
ports of sales of large clips at good
prices, 2l to % cents, for wool of the
long staple variety. have been cur
