One Of the most isnportant gold
strikes n the state was made
on this claim which eriffiths
and Buisson purchased from =.
G. villas. chairman OF the board
Of the Park National Bank at
Livingston
Apparently the entire surface
OF this claim carries high gold
values in the soil and clay and
during the time that the Me
Laren operated the mine, before
being closed down by winter
weather, they took out about
$500 a day in surface ores that
they shipped to the East Helena
and Anaconda shelters. The
values were all IN fine gold. At
this time IL IS not known what
area the naturalization covers or.
how deep 1t goes but 1t shows
up over quite an acreage and
as deep as they have gone.
It appears that one OF the big
bOoms OF the country will take
Mace In that vicinity this year
as this is perhaps the leading
gold strike made in the United
States in 1888. The operating
companies will try to mill the
ores on the ground and they have
been busy for several months
trying to work out flow sheet
that will handle the ores in 3
satisfactory manner
There is an excellent road
to Cooke from Gardiner at the
north entrance Of the TelloF-
stone National Park, about 81
miles distant, and the new high
way from Red Lodge to Cooke
win likely be completed this
year.

successful miners having en-
gagged in several dredging en-

coming interested in Montana
mining.

Modem GeoIogy

Mr.. Fixt-Two geologists who
went out geologizing separated.
Late In the afternoon one looked
through his field glass to find the
other. and at last spotted him on
a distant hin engaged in rolling
a big rock to the edge. He
watched him for some time. un-
III finally he saw the rock
topple over and roll down sever
al hundred feet.
When they we're again together,
he asked the other why he had
rolled the rock. s'Oh, just for
exercise" was the reply. But
being GROSS examined, he finally
gave out the truth. 'The
thing" he said, was 200 feet
too high up to suit my theory. L"
