Old ESMERELDA
LODE PROPER ~

Articles OF Incorporation were
recently filed in Helena, forming
Gold Mountain Corporation with an
authorized capital of 100000
shares OF no par value. The in
corpOrators were Carl B. LAUGH,
Cecil L. Miller and c. Milton Kelly
residents of Montana's capitol. Mr..
Iauch is a prominent building con-
tractor with a bent for mining;
Mr. Miller has been associated with
mining in various capacities for
several years: MI Kelly came from
the east from the field OF banking
and finance.
The new company has acquired
the lode mining claims of Esmere.da
Gold Mining CO. which lay on the
line between Powell and Lewis and
Clark Counties in Deadwood Guicn
tributary OF Snow Shoe GulcA
The largest gold nugget ever fonnd
in Montana came from this property
weighing 14h pounds. Very little
nrospecting or development work
has been done: the property has
been closely held through estates
and undivided interests which made
II difficult to acquire. 1t is stated
a program for the development OF
the property is being worked out
and that no offering of its capital
shares will be made.
Interest in gold mining is again
assuming an importance akin to the
interest manifested in the early
n;neties prior to the shift Of sur
plus capital into manufacturing
channels. This undoubtedly is due
in large measure to the uncertainties
with which competitive business is
now confronted. This statement
was made by Mr.. Kelly who recently
from a trip east in company
with his associates, and where ne
said he had encountered an ex-
pressed feeling that gold mining
when conducted with business sense
should offer one of the soundest
ventures possible in these times.

year from the former Illinois owner,
has been incorporated in the Nc
Farland Creek PIacers of Superior.
The placer property covers about
41O acres, along a stretch of ap-

Ample water is available to work
the ground and a grade Of z per

A pipe line. with an intake of
80 inches, will be run for a length
of 1000 feet, to provide water for
the hydraulic operation, which will
be assisted with a large dragline
shovel for stripping overburden,
where possible.
The entire ground is quite shall
