 L. A. Van Horn arrived here Satur day afternoon and hunted up his
 brother. j. W. Van Horn. The story above indicates the manner of theiI later meeting They were born and reared in Saginaw. Mich, J. W. Var Horn struck out from there in 1873 to make his way in the world. He made fer California and became of the Southwest, with experience in Ar zona, New Mexico and Sonora his sscre. L. A. Van Horn, the younger brother. left home three years late, and became of the northwest, wit knowledge of Wisconsin. Minnesota Wyoming and Montana in his fund From 1873 until Saturday, the broth CTS did not meet. But while one was accommodating fortune in the South west, the other was doing likewise il the northwest.
 The visitor from Butte expects to remain here only until the first of next week when business requires hls presence tack in Butte In the mean time he is not taking an entire yaca. tion. for he is acquainting his brother with the value of molydenum prop erty in Montana, 30 mics south of Livingston. at EEHigrant Gulch, ib Park county, and he expects to .eaye him an allotment of 5000 shares n the company formed on the property, for disposal among his Bisbee friends The property is in the name of the Great Western Mining & Milling Co and consists of 27 claims. It is capi talIzed at the modest sum of $500 GOO. and MT. Van Horn believes it is one of the most promising opportun.- ties that Montana has yet given in. vestors.
 Molybdenum belongs in the tung sten family. It is used to harden steel and enters into various fine metal work It also has large value in lubricants. In New York the mar ket quotation ranges from 40 to 90 cents the pound NIT. Van Horns company believes it has an enormous supply. It has 2S foot ledge opened which makes a general sample assay .f IS per cent. This ledge occurs in a tunnel which has been driven TOO feet $50 feet lh the vein occurs. IL was passed by when the original tun- mel work was done. This was in search of gold values The molybde- mum value was not recognized. Later its worth was realized by George B. Allison an old time Montana mining man, who acquired the property. He is president of the present company. Also he is the inventor rf a flotation practice, using water, which operates with high success in the extraction of the values of the. ledge. It is expected that better than 90 per cent recovery will be made. A 15 ton mill Is now being erected to treat the ore. It will have s tables and it is expected that recovery will be made daily of from 2 1-2 to 3 tons of 90 per cent product. ready for shipment east It is too finish the erection of the mill that stock Is now offered on the mar ket to the extent of about 1000 shares. It is being sold at par, $l., up to blocks of $500. Above that, sales are made at 75 cents.
 Emigrant Gulch district, in which the property is located. has been placer mined for gold since the early sixties and Is one of the Sell known sections of the country The molybdenum ledge cutting the 1 Western property has attracted good deal of attention the last few years and has been the subject of geological survey inspection. The in- dications are strong for extensive oc- currences in the mountain in which i if has been opened.
