ASSESSMENT
WORK BILL IS
AGAIN A Law

President Roosevelt on Fri
day signed the bill which sus-
ponds for another year the
necessity of expanding 500
on each unpatented mining
claim on the public domain.
The bill, passed by the senate
last week, was concurred in
by the house last Monday and
is now a law. Claim owners
must file notice with the
clerk of the county in
which the claim is located, to
obtain the exemption, before
July l. This means a mad
scramble during the next four
days. County clerks in the
various counties will assist
claim owners in preparing the
proper notices of intention, as
in the past.

DDS on his recent visit to this state.
Writing for Mining Review he said:
Placer operation in Montana are
widespread and give indications Of
intense activity during the current
season.
At old Virginia City the Hum
phIy brothers are operating three
drag Lines and a dry land wash
ing plant, working 5000 to 5000
yards a day. The yardage being
handled was all worked by hand,
probably a couple of times, in the
early days. Bedrock is what they
call a stratum of volcanic ash.
Costs Of handling are around 10
cents a yard, while values per yard
are above 20 cents.
At Canyon Ferry on the Missouri,
H. J. Hort is operating a three
quarter yard shovel and Ford
trucks to haul his yardage to a
stationary plant located 800 feet
vertically above the Missouri river
on the mesa. The deposit is a !
bench placer averaging about 81
feet deep.
Handles 1900 Yards
His values are about 80 cents a /
yard and his costs are l 5 cents a /
yard. He washes about 1900 yards /
day, pumping the water for the !,
screen against a 30O+foot head.
Gathering the concentrate from the
screen, it is flumed $50 feet down
the hillside to sluices where 1t is
washed. This sluicing water is
pumped against a 15O-foot head.
Porter Brothers have an opera
ton at Helena. doing a good job
dredging the flats to the north Of
the town. We were told the gold
values in some places are as good
at the extreme depth of their dig
ging ladder as they are near the
surface.
May Go Deeper
They have gone through a stra-
tum of volcanic ash that was CON
sidered bedrock, but the values
have been found beneath it. It is
they contemplate putting
on a digging line that would per- :
NIT them to go 100 feet deep.
The Eldorado Gold Placer Min
ing Co. has reopened operations in
Gulch. Mont, where {
they have been operating for the
last five years. While this work
is rather a side issue compared to
their larger work in the placer
fields of Colorado, they are re-
covering considerable gold.
