zone He mentioned two tunnels over 1000
feet long and also veins from 70 feet vice.
These workings are not accessible but there
is sufficient data outside to give an idea OF
what could be done TO reopen this mine.
The mine has not been active since 1880. Somo
ore samples show that evidently there are
some rich lead ore in the vein zone par
ticularly in the sulphide zone, from speei-
mems OF heavy lead material the writer was
shown.
This property would turn to be q very large
mine If developed with sufficient capital as
exploration and possibly the reopening OF the
lower tunnel may prove useful The lower
tunnel in Carpenter creek could be used TO
reach the veins open above, as there may not
be any value in that tunnel This tunnel Is
known as the 49, However. none around
Nehart know much about 1t. All points to
good possibilities for developing a lot Of ore.
A diamond drill campaign, viii be most useful
in such case.
From there going up Carpenter creek, one
reaches the junction Of Carpenter creek and
Snow creek. Going up Snow creek one passes
the Black Diamond mine with its mill. This
property is good but hard to get any data.
However, the property has been for sale, but
very little data II any is available. The
owner lives there. and probably could give
data to anyone interested

COrnucOpia

Following Snow creek up stream one arrives
at the Cornucopia mine This property pro-
duced some very rich ore years ago, but
little is known of the total value Of the pro-
duction, as it was mostly leasers' work The
mine has IA claims in the group. and is de-
veloped by one adit 500 feet long, one shaft,
and drifts.
The veins are rich in gold and silver, but
has some lead and no zinc. The values are
in the sulphide mostly, silver sulphides, ga
lena, iron pyrite, much like the ore Of the
Big Seven mine. A shipment Of ore last fan
Of II tons from a lease produced $1,000 net
return. The ore averaged gold 2.4s ounces
and silver l04 ounces. This was sorted ore.
However. the mine has a wonderful outlook
for development Of rich shipping ore as well
as for milling ore and viii no doubt be-
come a big producer, as soon as some capital
and experienced MANAGEMENT takes 1t over. 1t

be cyanided for gold and silver after light
roasting. However the ore should be tested
in a reliable laboratory. Three veins are
known and should be developed for tonnage,
for shipping ore and mill rock. This property

Silver Dyke

Along the ridge between Snow creek and
Belt creek. and around the Silver Belt mine,
there numerous properties, with very
attractive future and excellent past produc-
ton Of high-grade ore during the early days
Of this district. One such property, the Ben
ton, which is located east Of the Big Seven,
has a past production Of over $500 600, mostly
in gold with some silver. The ore is similar
to the Big Seven ore.
The Ripple Is another very good property,
east Of the Benton, and has produced high
gold silver in the early days. No fig

Biz Seven

Further on one reaches the Big Seven mine,
now being operated BY the Montana Silver
Queen Mining Co. of Spokane.
This mine is in Snow creek valley on the
north slope Of Neihart Badly mountain at an
elevation Of $500 feet. The mine is connected
by a wagon road to the main highway like
all the mines around Neihart.
The ground was located in the eighties and
before 1898 It had been a large producer OF
rich silver ore with gold content. Early ship
ments contained from 100 to 500 ounces OF
The early production was past the million
mark No official figures are available. The
mine is developed by three main tunnels, and
a considerable amount Of work was done and
large production obtained.
The veins cut the diorite, the gniess, and
quartZite formations. The veins are very
wide. and in the sulphide zone now being
mined and milled a great deal Of high-grade
ore was found. The ore values are high even
for the mill head around 20 ounces and over
and good gold values which make the con-
centrate very rich. Some Of the carloads
shipped last summer from the mill went over
the $4,000 mark. The ratio OF gold and silver
varies from / ounce of gold to go ounces OF
silver to l ounce of gold to 40 ounces in
silver The lead is low and the zinc In
significant. The most important minerals are
argentite ruby silver. silver sulphide, anti
mony silver, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and other
silver sulphdes. The ore mined in the early
days for shipping was narrow, but since that
the veins have been developed to their IuH
width, and give large tonnage Of mill rock.
The Big Seven mine Is well equipped with
large compressor. Chicago Pneumatic type,
large shops and complete camp for 40 men.
The UNDERGROUND workings are well equipped.
The mill is a modern f1otation plant COM
prising crusher, ore bin, ball mill, classifier,
conditioner. unit cell. flotation machine and
filter The equipment was furnished by the
Denver Equipment Co. of Denver Colo.
This property and the Silver Belt are the
most promising properties in the district, as
they have lot Of virgin ground opened be-
side the present slopes to draw ore from. They
both have large tonnage blocked out. This
gives these two mines a fine future for pro-
duction.
The Montana Silver Queen Mining Co., oper-
ating the Big Seven mine. is under the able
management Of C. Weathered of Spkoane and
Wallace, who has years Of experience in man
aging mines in the Occur dAlene Idaho, dis
trict where he formerly was in charge Of the
big Morning Mine operation, at Mullen, near
Wallace. The property is financed by Spo-
kane capital.
This property had a very successful year in
its first summer run last summer and fall.
and the returns from production we're more
than satisfactory. 1t is one outstanding mine
in the district now.

johannesburg

Returning to the highway. by way Of the
Carpenter creek county road. one reaches
the bridge across Belt creek at Jerico. Then
going downstream toward Great Falls Tor
about one and one-han miles, one reaches
a small canyon at the left OF the highway.
where a road takes off and following this
old road for about 1880 feet one Is con-
fronted with q large mine shaft head frame,
which shows that this mine was well equipped
when In operation.
This property is the johannesburg mine. and
as its name indicated it is gold property
It is q riff like in Transvaal. s. A The vein
lays in a dyke-like formation. It is very
wide vein, similar TO the Homestake Of South
Dakota The ore is 40 feet wide and has
been developed by shaft 400 feet deep and
has four levels, which has blocked huge
tonnage Of mill rock. The vein is exposed in
the canyon. for a great length in an oxidized
zone. Some very good values we're found IN IL.
The ore developed is a sulphide Of iron
carrying gold and some silver, the values are
mostly gold. The property needs mill prob
ably a cyanide plant. The average value OF
the ore is between So and $40 in gold per
ton which makes It very interesting mine to
put into production.
The mine was developed in the days when
money was easy to get and the man IN
charge was an old-time high-grade miner in
the Nehart district and did not understand
the formation and that type Of ore. In such
formation, high grade shipping ore is not
found, as the rock formation is different from
Neihart formation. 1t is sort OF dark al
tered andesite. very hard rock and very
silcious hard to leach to form secondary
enrichment. The mine is equipped with hoist,
steam engine, large stationary boilers skip,
etc The plant and buildings need repairs;
The mine needs capital to put up mill,
after necessary tests are made on the ore.
The development Of the ore is done. and
what is to do next is to break the ore, and
mill It. as there is ore for years already avail
able. The mine is flooded but it was pumped,
Just before the depression OF 1881, and in
weeks time it could be done nicely.

Iron Ore Deposits

In the Neihart region, but somewhat dis
tant from the regular silver sold lead mining
belt OF the town proper there are some very
large deposits OF very good iron ore, mostly
hematite ore, ideal material for an iron
smelter and steel plant
Neihart has manganese and molybdenum
ores In the Belt district there are many
coal mines and at Sand Coulee near Great
Falls. The Missouri river and Sun river ct
Great Falls. the railways and electric power
are available at all these points, also Pc
troleum and an oil refinery In Great Falls.
There we have all the necessary elements
and raw materials ct hand, for an iron smell
ter and steel mill and with the copper re-

at Great Falls, we have all that is needed
for the manufacture Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
