Of great mining revival.
For two years attention has been

Notwithstanding mining operations
have been pursued on an increasingly

Rimini, Marysville. Boulder, wickes,
Elkhorn and all of the other mining
districts, mines are being reopened
and developed rapidly.
The gold output Of Marysville
equals and possibly exceeds that OF
Its palmiest days. The Elkhorn prop
critics are showing up to better ad-
vantage than ever before; mines at
Winston. which have been closed
down for years, are being reopened;
the Corbin Wickes district continues
to forge to the front, and the monthly
gold output of the Radersburg dis
trict is now almost ten times that Of
the days when 1t first became famous.
Radersburg is the most thriving
gold mining camp in Montana at pres
ent. 1t is not boom camp. but one
which gives every indication of pro-
ducing ore for many years to come.
In the district north and south Of
Radersburg a great amount Of pros
pecting and mining is in progress and
some exceedingly good ore has been
encountered in numerous mines. The
lack Of suitable transportation facili-
ties retards the development of the
district.

the Eglanol mine, considered one Of
the richest in the Marysville district.
has Just been brought to a close in
Helena. resulting in a judgment be-
ing awarded b. ii. Tatem for $780,
