The new mill is 4 50-ton flotation plant
which was built a year ago. and has milled
ore from the dump as wen as from the mine,
with very good results. The ore from the
mine is a very good grade Of ore for the
mill. The mine has q very bright future Of
years Of operations, as It was found that
the North drift on the vein has some very
good silveF-lead ore, in virgin ground, which
win be mined for mill feed as soon as q com

worked In the early days and gives the best
possibilities to this mine, the vein has been
proven and blocked and ready for stopping,
which will permit large production, as soon
as the compressor Is installed and the new

At the present the ore is transported to the
mill by an aerial tramway, but In the future
a lower tunnel will be driven just above the
mill, to cross cut the vein system lower down
the structure to open new stopping ground

cut tunnel the ore viii be trammed direct TO

tramway will be eliminated, and cut cost Of

The mill comprises a large Jaw crusher

planned by the MANAGEMENT as the ore In

Geology

The observable geologic record Of the
Neihart district begins some time during
the pre-Beltian. 1t has been common prac-
tice to divide pre-Cambria time itno Archean
and Algonkian or Archoozoic and Protoro-
zoic time. The Belt series definitely belongs
to late pre-Cambrian, but the gneisses and
schists underlying the Belt, separated from
1t by a marked unconformity representing
a great lapse Of time, cannot be dated ex-
cept by the broad term 'pre-Beltian." There
Is found large amounts Of quartzite diorite
and various types Of porphyry rocks
The rock formation was deeply eroded and
thousands Of feet OF rock were washed to
the sea lying to the south, forming sedi-
mentary deposits. There we're long periods Of
disturbance, during which rocks we're eroded,
uplifted, and intruded by igneous rocks, and
ore mineral deposits formed Beside these
intruded rocks. there are many dykes-ore-
forming deposits.
Internationally. the silver ores comprise
three types; carbonate ores siliceous ores,
and disseminated ores. The carbonate ores
consist OF an intimate mixture Of carbonates
The siliceous ore consists chiefly Of quartz
and some feldspar with ruby silver, galena
sphalerites, chalcopyrite. pyrite. or silver sui
phides, lead sulphides, zinc sulphides, copper
and iron sulphides respectively. The precious
metals, found in these ores are silver and
gold. The base metals are lead zinc and
copper

tracted Wine was sunk 100 feet below the
adit level and an ore shoot, which was en-
countered is or 20 feet south of the WINE,
was mined out. This work was done before
1919 when the mine was sold to the Neihart
Silver Mining Co. Since that time the pro-
duction has been small. The new organiza-
ton operating the property now and pro-
ducing concentrate Is known as the B. K W.
Mining Co. Of Great Falls
Between 1900 and 1927. the net smelter re-
turns from the Silver Belt mine aggregated
$4,000. The production since 1917 consists
Of only two shipments in 1927. The value Of
the total gross production then was estimated
the B. K. W. Co. started operations, the
company has shipped around a dozen cars OF
concentrate OF a gross estimate of about
$4,000, the concentrate average IFS ounces

cent lead, from percent to 80 percent zinc
and from o02 to 080 ounces in gold to the
ton.
Oxidation was relatively shallow, extending
about so feet below surface, and It is prob
able that secondary enrichment was import
ant in producing rich silver ore to a depth
of 100 to $50 feet.
The fact that the vein lies within the
Pinto diorite limits the width and produces
small ore shoots but the strength and per-
sistance Of this structure adds to the posi-
bilty Of encountering more shoots and gives
hope for greater downward extension
The possibilities mentioned above have been
proven lately by the new company and en-
gineering checkup, shows there is not only q
strong continuance Of the ore body in depth,
but also that the vein is much wider than
originally mined. The early mining was con-

UIsc0VeTed IN 1851
The discovery of silver ore at Neihart in
1881 evoked attention to the district. Rich
carbonate ores were exploited, but 1t was not
until 1891 when a branch Of the Montana
Central railway (now a part of the Great
Northern SYSTEM was built to Neihart and
Barker, did mining activities really flourish
and Neihart became the busy center Of the
district.
Previously in 1879 some silver bearing lead
carbonates we're discovered at Barker. and
some gold in the alluvial deposits Of Yogo
gulch, caused a rush to the Little Belt
mountains but not until Neihart deposits
were found that much mining was done. A
party Of prospectors from Barker discovered
ore at Neihart while trapping trip with
j. I. Nehart. They staked the Queen Of the

KOSINSKI GETS CHANCE TO WIN
 ANOTHER TITLE
State Amateur Golf King
 in BrOOklawn Semi. Finals

Bridgeport, Conn. July l7.-(UP) Tony Kosinski, tow-headed, young Greenfield Hills golfer, stood ready today to prove his victory over the states leading amateurs in the Con- necticut championship two weeks ago was no fluke.
 In his early 20's, the husky Kosin- ski smashed his way Into the semi- final round of the Brooklawn Coun- try clubs invitation tournament, along with Charley Clare Race Brook, Holly Mandy, Wethersfeld and Eddie Fuller of the home club,
 Clare and Mandy will meet In the first semi.final match today, and KosinSki will clash with Fuller 0 few moments later. The victors will fight 1t out for the champion ship in' the afternoon.
 Kosinski won two matches yester. day over Kenneth Smith, Ocean Side, L. l., and Art dedney, New Haven. Glare defeated Spencer Brainard, New Haven, In his morn ing round, and then took Hank Kowal, Utica, N. Y.
 Tn his first match, Mandy defeat- cd M. P. Warner. New Haven, and then vanquished Bobby Grant, Wethersfeld, 3 and 1.
 Fuller defeated D. Clark Corkran, Pine Orchard, in his opening match. and then took L. p. Hogan, Wood bridge Hills in the night-cap.

MOTORBOAT RACES AT QUASSAPAUC

Connecticut outboard drivers will have busy month during August as this month seems to be the out board racing season in this state and vicinity. On August lst there will be regatta at Lake Quassa- paug, the 7th and 9th will see the drivers at Boston'S big regatta and New London will play host to the drivers the 28th and 29th with the Governors Regatta holding the spotlight.
 The race at Lake Quassapaug amusement park, Middlebury will be the second of a series of three races to determine the champion of the lake. So far Les Buckman of New York and Ken Mackenzie of New Haven have the best hold on the trophy to be awarded to the most consistent winner in this series of events. With two more races still to be held it is most like ly that these two drivers will be hard pressed to. maintain the ad- vantages they now hold.
 Outboard racing at this beautiful spot is ideal and drivers from all over New England and New York have been attending the regattas held at the amusement park. The facilities for handling the boats and the layout of the course make q combination that insures perfect outboard racing. The events will start at 2 o'clock.
