CUSTOM MILL
TO WORK ORES
AT HELMVLLE

DEER LODGE. August rs
-Coincident with the I'M
creased interest in mining
and the consequent increase
in the output Of gold in the
Hlackfoot region, a new gold
MIN on Ogden mountains,
nine miles from HeImvIIle,
just has gone into operation.
Custom ore. producing a high
grade concentrate. is being mill
ed at present. the ore coming
from nearby mines. The concen-
trate Is shipped out from the mill
to smelters for further treat
ment- Eleven men are employed
at the plant at the present time,
and It is expected that by Aug
ust Is the mill will be operating
on q three-shift q day schedule.
No additional workers are need
ed, however. there being more
than an adequate supply Of la
Dor on hand.
Originally discovered by James
Ogden in the early nineties. the
property was held by him until
his death. It then became the
property OF Sam Mcconnell. who
worked it from a prospectof's
viewpoint until his death. when
I was acquired BY the Blackfoot
Gold Mining company and operat-
ID BY the Ogden Mountain Mining
company.

AS near as can be determin-
ed from press reports, the
shovel in use down there is
skirting the edge Of a noun
tain, removing dirt to bedrock
and laying bare the forna-
tions.
The shovel is working on the
west slope Of Bull Hill. Dirt
removed by the shovel is pam
ned and when any colors ap-
pear the dirt is assayed and a
careful inspection made Of adj
jacent ground.
It has been proposed several
times to use a modern ditch
ing machine in the districts
near Helena, where grass-cov-
cred slopes, with relatively
gentle inclines, would offer
small resistance to progress OF
a modern machine.
Those who advocated such
methods did so in the belief
that such work, which could
be done at relatively nominal
cost, would reval many leads.
whose float has long been bu-l
ried by wash from the hillsides
above, giving the prospectOr
on the surface no in
5ication as to their location.
All such proposals have thus
far been laughed out Of the
picture but if the Cripple
Creek operation results in dis
sovery Of new leads in this
ntensively prOspected region,
t is probable that the idea
viii spread.

This property was first found
tive years ago BY two experience
ed prospectors. Louis Painich
and Gornick.
The ore deposit does not show
on the surface. the vein car
rying heavy overburden OF soil.
Commenting on this angle Of
the prospectorss art, Mining
Truth" Of Spokane comments as
follows
Pamning Used
Its original discovery from
some very minor fragments OF
float illustrates a phase Of the
now popular schools Of gold pam
ming obstruction that hasn't been
sufficiently emphasized. and an
angle Of this line Of endeavor
that is most likely to lead 70
permanent results IN a much
desired increase In gold produc-
ton.
"The Comeback vein was dis
covered BY panning the dirt on
the steep mountain side up to a
line along which the fine gold
RAINING. results ceased. and BY
this means iocaaizing the course
Of the vein. which upon subse-
quent digging was readily dis
closed in a series Of open cuts.
The richer ore shoots later vera
localized among the course Of the
vein.
"Since discovery the Come
Back mine has been developed
BY series or short adit tunnels
and open cuts over 3 strike length
OF this development Is crosacut
tunnel about 500 feet long, from
which drift has been carried
along the course OF the vein for
a strike length OF 500 feet at an
average depth Of about 200 feet
under the surface.
There are several raises thru
from the No. A level to the sur
face, from which a number Of
small shipments OF hand-picked
crude ore have been marketed at
the Salt Lake valley smelters,
that have given net smelter re-
turns Of from $50 to $500 per
ION in gold and silver. The most
lot forwarded was a
80-ton car that Melted $1,000
and contained $500 gold and 1875 j
ounces silver per ton.
THE recent rich gold ore dis
,overy is Of interest, as it was
made at this No. 4 level, and con-
lists of a stringer OF brown and
white quartz varying from an
nch to q foot thick, in the cen
er Of one Of these base ore
Ihootss and carries values vary /
