for the treatment of Constitution ore
announcement has been made by tn,
Constitution Mining & Milling com.
pany that satisfactory results have
been obtained and that mill of 15(
tons capacity will be built this sum
mer and fall. The company has 8
millsite within a few hundred feet OF
the mine. A sawmill was on the sid
ing at the mouth of Pine creek for the
Constitution which has probably beer
delivered at the mine by this time
This will be put into operation at once
as the company has large amount OF
saw timber on its ground which will
be utilized in the construction of the
mill Shipments of ore continue to be
made from the main tunnel where
Slopes have been opened on a long ore
shoot, but development work is largely
confined at this time to drifting from
the bottom of the 200 foot shaft This
work is showing up much ore, fully
six feet of good milling, with occa-
sional shoots of high grade zine. 1t
is stated that about 80 feet from the
which came about half way up the
face of the drift, six feet wide and
which continued for 20 feet, that as
sayed 81 per cent
The Douglas.
A raise is now being made from the
lower tunnel of the Douglas on the
great ore shoot that has been proved
continuous for over 500 feet. A
raise was made connecting the lower
with the upper tunnel many years
ago, there being ore all the way. The
new raise will be some 300 feet from
the first. 1t had been advanced about
20 feet the first of the week and is
going up at the rate of about five or
six feet per day. AT the time this re-
port was received the raise showed
feet of solid ore and about feet of
milling ore. The Douglas is under
lease and bond to the Anaconda COM
pany and the property was inspected
two or three weeks ago by one of the
higher officers of the company w. ].
Kelly, who has charge of the develop
ment of the Douglas, stated some
time ago that he expected to install
an electric compressor and hoist as
soon as the roads were more favor
able. for handling heavy machinery,
and while no further Information has
been obtained on the subject, it is be-
lieved that this plan is being carried
out. When this machinery is installed
the shaft. which has been sunk $50
feet from the lower tunnel, will be
unwatered and the vein will be fur
ther explored at depth.
Nevada Stewart.
The report which was circulated
last week that fine showing of ore
had been developed in the Nevada
Stewart seems to have been prema-
.ture. The drift on the first vein has
been extended about $50 feet from the
crosscut, and the showing is regarded
favorable to ore and any round of
holes may bring the desired change
There are two other veins on the New
ada Stewart ground that will be cut
by the extension of the crosscut.
Highland Surprise.
The Highland Surprise mill is
turning out about 25 tons of concen-
trates per day. Motor trucks deliver
the concentrates from the mill to the
railroad, distance of nine miles
Machinery has arrived for an add-
tional unit to the mill.
Big It.
M. s. Pratt has located eight claims
at the forks of Trapper creek and
East Pine. Surface work has dis
closed about II feet of carbonate ore,
and preparation is being made to be-
gin energetic development The sur
face showing carries lead and silver
and a trace of gold. The group is call
cd the Big 1t.

Eight Mining company, reports about
a foot of gray copper ore in the raise
that is being made from the main
tunnel The ore is said to run high
in silver and Is OF the same character
that is being mined in the Yankee
Boy on Big Creek This is the first
discovery Of this character of ore on
Pine creek Mr.. Strader says the ore
will be sorted for shipment. Consid-
cradle lead ore is also being encoun-
tered in the main tunnel. The pro-
perty is equipped with compressor
driven by electric power.
The Nabob.
The Wardner- Kellogg News credits
the officials of the Nabob with the
announcement that shipments will be-
gin within the next ten days to the
East Helena smelter. This ore will
be taken from the Nabob vein in the
upper workings Work on the Crystal
ite vein continues to disclose splen-
did showing of lead zinc ore, which
