under the direction Of DR.. @.

Hill men state that this is the

Iieve that the old mining claims
may once again be the scene
Of activity.
At one time Gold Butte was a
gold mining town and
he gulafes surrounding it gave

Since the miners there de-
serted their claims for newer

Our Great Mines
The Homestake mine Of South
Dakota had been paying divi-
dends 25 years before the .. S.
Steel Corporation was organized
and WI unquestionalbly continue
paying dividends for many years
to come. Bunker Hill & sulli-
van has been producing since
1885 and has more ore in sight
at present than at any previous
time. No great mining district
of the United States has ever
become exhausted. For perman-
ency, mining surpasses all indus
tries except farming.
Tn Atlantic Monthly in an
early issue had the following
to say on the subject of mining
as an investment:
III, in comparing the losses Of
mining with those IN manufae-
turing, due regard Is given in
each Of these branches of in
dustry, the comparison viii be
immensely in favor OF mining.
1t will be found that where
mining investments have been
made with ordinary business in
ieligence and the affairs Of the
company are economically looked
after, losses are far less from
mining than from any other
business known TO modern civil
lization. Governmental reports
and other authorities that cannot
be doubted show that losses in
mining are 40 per cent less than
in any Of the four other leading
industries Of the world-commer-
ciai, manufacturing. trading and
banking.

The ultra conservative Wall
Street Journal, commenting upon
a statement made In pamph-
let TO the effect that "a mine

"A mine is not a hole in which

It Is a hole from which a great

VOSBURG STRIKE RICHEST IN YEARS

gold ore running from
$50 to more than $50 per
ton, in the Vosburg mine
south Of Helena and west
Of Winston is arouging
increasing interest in Mon
tAna mining circles as il
becomes increasingly evi-
dent that the find is no
mere pocket.
The strike was made two
weeks ago in tunnel which
crosscut the vein at approx
mately 200 feet greater depth
than previous workings.
Values Increase
The vein in the upper levels
produced three or four cars
Of ore which went from $15
to $50 per ton in gold The
vein where cut at the lower
level is Is inches in width
and vein-width assays show
the ore to carry values in
gold Of from $35 to $50 per
ton.
The mine is located on a
maintain side making II
easily possible to cut the vein
with other tunnels at still
greater depths.
High Values
Engineers who have visited
the property since the strike
consider it likely that still
greater values viii be found in
the lower levels.
A crew Of seven men is now
employed in development, I'M
der the direction Of John A.
Roos, manager of the mine.
This crew has done sufficient
work since the strike to re-
veal that the vein where cut
in the lower level gives every
evidence of uniformity, likely
to persist with depth.
Held BY Syndicate
The property is held by
the Vosburg Syndicate; organ
lied more than a year ago by
G. M. and John A. Roos. G.
M. Roos has been in charge
Of financing, with offices in
Helena.
Previous to its present ac-
tivity, the property was idle
for some years following the
death Of Vosburg, old-time
prospector who located the
claims and who held them and
worked them single-handed for
a period Of more than 80
years. Vosburg confined his
efforts largely to near-surface
exploration Of veins which
outcropped on the mountain
side, with no attempt to attain
depth on any Of them.
Gopher Holes"
From these shallow work
ings, he obtained occasional
shipments Of high-grade suf-

present owners intend to pros
pect them in the near future.

Secretary of Commerce Chaplin says
he believes the downtide In business

Although signs of improvement are
not universal many of :them seasonal,
''they offer basis Of genuine encour-
agement," the new cabinet officer told
newspaper men late yesterday upon
completing trip to New York and
New England, where he met business
and financial leaders.
Mr. Chaplin, while citing gains, urged
that every effort be made to consolidate
the increases and offset seasonal de-
clines to be expected.
Seasonal Gains Near End.
We are now approaching the most
critical phase of the present move" he
said The impetus derived from sea-
sonal influences will be largely spent
during the current month. 1t is i'm
portant. therefore, that every one make
steady efforts to consolidate our gains
so as to offset, the adverse seasonal
tendencies usually operating toward the
end of the year and thus maintain the
improved trend.
Advances mostly have been made in
the consumer goods industries The
heavy industries have not as yet felt
the impetus that they must have for a
state of good business for the entire
