New Contract
Covering Care
County Poor
All INDECENT Sick VIII Be
Given Medical, Surgical
and Hospital Care.
AT COST OF 5000 PER
MONTH BIG SAVING

While III regular session last week
the board OF county commissioners en-
tered into a contract with DR.. Chas. J.
Martin and DR.. J. M. Cairns of Libby
whereby the legally INDECENT sick of
the county will be taken care of during
the life of the contract at a figure that
will mean a substantial saving to the
county
Under the. terms of the contract Drs.
Martin and Cairns agree to provide all
medical, surgical and hospital care for
all the legally INDECENT sick of the
county for the sum of $500 per month.
Arrangements have been made by Drs.
Martin and Cairns with DR.. Hunter of
Eureka who will look after the INDECENT
sick of the northern part of the
county until they can be removed TO
the Libby hospital if such removal is
necessary. DR.. Hunter will be paid by
Drs. Martin and Cairns for his services
This arrangement has been made so as
to provide speedier service for that
part OF the county and the cost of it
will come out of the $500 paid per
month to Drs. Martin and Cairns.
Before his resignation and while still
chairman of the board of county com
missioners, H. E. Brink stated the new
contract would save the county at least
$500 per month. Medical, surgical and
hospital care of the sick has been cost
ing the county from $500 to $4,000 a
month, and it is said such care ran as
high as $500 one month. Thus it can
be seen that The saving under the new
contract will be a substantial one.
Call for bids for such service had
been duly advertised but the only bid
submitted was the one by Drs. Martin
and Cairns. Because of certain legal
requirements, the present contract .an
only run until January 1st of next
year.

viii Build
Ore Mill At
Gold Mine
Company Expects to Start
Work on 80 Ton Plant
This Fall.
HAS LARGE BODY
OF ORE OPENED

At a special stockholders meeting oil
Herbert Gold Mines, Inc, held in Libby
Monday the board of directors was
authorized to increase the capital
stock from $4,000 to 100000. The
resolution authorizing this action was
unanimously adopted.
The increased capitalization will
allow sale of stock for the raising Of
funds to be expended in building a
mill or the companys property south
OF Libby. 1t is planned to build a mill
OF from SO to 100 tons daily capacity
and it is expected that work Oh the
mill will start this fall.
An engineers estimate of the ore
proved above the tunnels is $4,000
tons said William Herbert, president
OF the company, in an interview Tues
day. The ore averages better than
$3.50 to the ton In estimating this
tonnage only the ore above the width
and length of the tunnel was taken
into consideration. The width Of the
tunnel is only seven feet while the
width Of the vein is from Is to 30 feet
Thus it can readily be seen that there
IS actually a much larger body Of ore
than is stated in the engineers esti-
mate, which is thus shown to be very
conservative. The upper tunnel has
been run in and alongside of the ore
vein for 500 feet and the lower tunnel
is 200 feet in the vein.
Figuring the 10000 tons given in
the engineers estimate. at an average
OF $3.50 per ton, gives S680,0OO worth
OF ore proven and in sight continued
Herbert. "The ore occupies a replace
ment vein such as is contained in the
Homestake mine. According to indica-
tons we will have a silver mine when
we descend below the leached zone.
Gold will be present but the quantity
of silver will be greater. There has
been an increase of silver in the lower
tunnel over that of the upper tunnel.
No other vein found in northwest
Montana is like it. The ore is very
soft and mines easily and rapidly.
The cyanide process will be used
in the mill The extraction With nota-
ton would be rs to so per cent and with
cyanide SO per cent of both the gold
and silver. There is plenty of wood
and water near the site. The company
has IS claims, owes nothing and has no
trouble" concluded Herbert.

Troy, was given a hearing before
Justice of the Peace Haigler yesterday
afternoon. AT its conclusion, upon
motion of County Attorney Murray,
the case was dismissed. Shawhan was
arrested upon the statement Of man
and his wife that Shawhan had left with
them the articles that were found to
have been stolen from the warehouse.
When placed on the stand the couples
