out number from time to time have
voiced their approval of the possibil-
tiles for developing great mines in
that section, but it remained for the
present operators and directing heads

faith in the district by outlining an
extensive prospecting campaign in
the early part of 1924, which was
handsomely rewarded early in May
by one of the most phenomenal gold
strikes in recent history.
Developing High Grade.
Since that time prospecting has
been prosecuted to a depth and now
the Jib Consolidated is entirely out
of the speculative class and is said
to have ore reserves blocked out in
excess of $9,000,000.
This immense ore showing, ac-
cording to biologists who have Wis
tied the property is only forerun-
ner of what may be expected, as the
property to date has already been de-
veloped to a 500-foot level at which
point the showing of high-grade gold
bearing quartz is better than ever.
Recent reports from the property
are to the effect that new find of
"high-grade" has just been encount-
cred on the 50O-foot level, which ma
terially adds to the ore reserves al |
ready in sight.
The Jib Consolidated is completely |
equipped with modern electrically |
driven hoist and all up-to-date min
ing machinery, together with a large |
plant capable of treat

pie capacity to care for increased
tonnage which is expected to follow

Basin An Old Camp.
The Basin district is one of the old
est in the state of Montana, dating
back to the placer days of 1854 when
rich placer gravel in considerable
quantity yielded hundreds of thous-
ands to the early operators. Later
the source of these values were found
outcropping on the tops of the slopes
of surrounding mountains in the form
of veins or lodes rich in silver, gold
and lead. These deposits were inn
worked and a few of the
districts most permanent mines were
started.
At the Alta mine huge blocks of
carbonate ore weighing many tons
and containing rich values in lead,
silver and gold were found on the
surface short distance from the
vein of which they formerly formed
a part. However, prospectors have
found many of the districts richest
sheets of ore at the lower elevations
According to biologists the majority
If these ore chutes are still to be
found.
From 1870 to 1890 the town of

Basins growth and Development,
particularly during the past six
months, mas been little short of phe-

full of people to a thriving mining
camp with a population of nearly
1000.
In the old days Basin was num-
bered among Montana's active mining
camps and for a number of years
enjoyed a great deal of prosperity.
1t was a frontier town in every re-
spect and the lure of gold attracted
hundreds of prospectors from all ov-
er the west.
Here Heinze first laid his plans
which eventually broadened to such
an extent that he became national
figure in mining and here also many
other celebrated mining men have
found their beginning.
But like hundreds of other west

surface crusts were removed, Basin
fell backward and the pros
pectors strapped their outfits to their |
pack mules and jouneyed on, one by

REPORT ON BRANCH POND SAM
PIES BY PROF CARD.
Analyses Indicate Pollution of
Branch Pond Stream-Advises
Minute Inspection Here.

A detailed report has been received
| from Prof. James A. Card, expert
chemist and bacteriologist, of Troy,
| N. Y, who recently made an exami-
| nation of the Branch pond water sup
Ply with Supt. Everett of the water
company and Health officer Woodruff
| of Ellsworth.
The result of this examination diff
! fers radically from the last preceding
one, in that the sample taken at the
| outlet of Branch pond shows no pol
| luton, while the sample taken at the
! foot of Branch Pond stream, near the
| intake to the pumping station shows
| heavy pollution. Previous samples
| taken from Branch Pond stream, it
Will be remembered, all showed pol
luton, the one from the outlet of
Branch pond showing more than
those from farther down the stream.
In view of this showing, Prof.
Card recommends that minute in
spection should be made of Branch
Pond stream to ascertain, if posi-
BILE the source or sources of pollu-
ton. Health officer Woodruff has
already sent for containers for sam
pies, and will go forward with the in
yestigation as rapidly as possible

it is well to say here that the analy-
sis of the chlorinated water by Prof
Card bears out the several recent
analyses by the State laboratory
showing that it is properly treated
and is safe for drinking
1, 4. 4 4
Card was not confined to Branch
Pond stream, but samples were taken
from tributaries of Branch pond
Briefly summarized. the analyses
show that Winkumpaw stream, Colt S
brook and Moore's brook are pol
luted, while Tannery brook and
Rocky Pond stream show no pol
luton. The fact that at least three
streams flowing into Branch pond
show pollution, while the sample
taken at the outlet shows no pollu-
ton, is explained by Prof. Card as
due to the large storage area of
Branch pond and the action of light
and air.
