Cooke City, Mont, July TO-
The Glengarry Mining company
began shipping the first COM
mercial ore from the New World
mining district the first of last
week, high grade ore being sacked
for trucking. A great amount of
gold ore has been blocked out and
active mining was carried on all
last winter in order to be ready
for good roads this summer.
The Glengarry company has its
main office in Miles City, but the
greater share of its stockholders
are residents of New York and
eastern points. Harry Kamprath
has been its active superintendent
for several years and announce
ment was made last week of the
final payment of the purchase
price of the mine to the original
owner, Peter Branser. The orig
inal claims, where the first tun-
nels were sunk, were purchased
for $4,000 several years ago by
the Glengarry corporation, and
the first of the month the final
payment was made and, accord
ing to the papers filed in Livings-
ton, $4,000, the last payment was
made. The property was immed-
lately transferred to the title of
Max Trunz, of New York City.
At different times additional
claims were secured, so that now
the Glengarry outfit has a large
block of the richest of the mining
district soil. The main tunnel
starts in at the base of the Scotch
Bonnet mountain, at the head of
the Clark's Fork river, and power
for the machinery is derived at
the present time from large Diesel
engines. A large crew of miners
is at work and the mine is more
active at this time than it has
been for years.
Mine Foreman Fenner states
that the company expects to start
the erection of a mill on their
property some time in the very
near future.
Word reached Cooke City Sat
urday that Alex McLaren, of the
McLaren interests, had been in
jured in an auto accident in the
Mill Creek country, about twenty
five miles south of Livingston.
Mr.. McLaren was reported as hav-
ing had a near head-on collision
with a tourist and was badly cut
and bruised.
Fred Soular, of Billings, former
ly connected with the activities of
the immense gypsum deposits in
northern Wyoming, was a visitor
in Cooke the first of the week.
Lately, Mr.. Soular has been con-
nected with placer mining at Nor
ris, and perhaps will become iden-
titled with the New World mining
district.

Purity bakery in Billings, and

wives and enjoyed the trip into
the country, driving in by the
Red Lodge road.

has taken over the Cooke City
meat market, arriving in the city
on July 3. Mr.. Denison is an ex-
pert in his line and states he will
carry a fine line of meats, green
goods, bread and pastry, and later
will add a full line of staple groc-
cries.
