SHEEP UNCOVER
RICH ORE VEIN
STORY OF UNIQUE MINERAL DIS
COEERY COMES FROM
WEST MONTANA
Flock of Sheep Passing Through the
Mountains Near Superior, Turn
Over Rock, Which Exposes Vein;
Few Hours Work Results in Dis
covery of Body of High Class Ore.

William Whitmarsh carried a sack
containing rich copper ore into Su-
perior a few days ago, and narrated
this strange story of how what may
prove to be a rich strike was made:
Last week a herd of sheep passed
through the vicinity of Cedar creek
and near the divide of the creek and
Thompson creek, about four miles
from Superior, the sheep turned over
some rock peculiar to the daily OBJ
servation of the herder. The herder
picked up some of the rock and
showed it to Mr.. Whitmarsh, who has
had considerable experience in the
mining game. Whitmarsh immediate
ly recognized it's values and inquired
as to it's location. The herder ac-
companied Whitmarsh to the place
where the rock was found and it
took but a few hours to locate the
ledge that produced the float.
Well Defined Vein
From grass root the vein is we'll
defined and after drilling but a few
feet Whitmarsh unearthed a two
foot lead of rich copper ore. The
ore is estimated to carry between rs
and 80 per cent copper, while some
experienced men estimate a higher
per cent. The samples have been
shipped to a smelter at Tacoma for
assay, and If the returns show as high
per cent as it is believed the rock
carries, shipping will be started at
once.
The find is particularly well situa-
ted, being only about 60 feet from
4 truck road leading into the main
road on Cedar creek. The distance
If the haul will be only about four
miles, and all Of the distance down
grade.

Better Gasoline in Montana

Improvement in the quality of the
gasoline sold in Montana is revealed
by the test recently conducted by w.
M. Cobleigh of Bozeman, state chem
list, on 143 samples of gasoline col
lected in June, July and August by
w. 1. Ballard, Inspector, who oper-
ates under the direction of Secretary
of State Charles T. Stewart.
Of these 143 samples 97.9 per cent
passed all the requirements of the
Montana law on gasoline standards.
Secretary Stewart points out that a
more than two years ago when
gasoline inspection was first estab-
lished the chemist found only a little
more than 60 per cent of the gasoline
samples met the laws requirements.
