The big mining deal which has been pending in this city during the last
month has assumed formidable shape, and the transfer b now as good as con
summated. The mines to change ownership are the Amy and Silversmith,
owned by a company and located just northwest of the Moulton ; the Gold
smith, owned by George Tong exclusively; the Millside, owned by Frank
Carey and others ; Little Annie, owned by Clayton Ramsdcll, of Deer Lodge j
Tully, owned by John Connell and D. J. Hennesy; Sooner, owned by E. A.
Nichols and Charles S. Warren j and the Silver Safe, owned by Patsy Clark
and others. All of these claims are situated northwest of the Moulton and
have been considered among the best silver producers in the camp. The pur
chasers are an English syndicate, and the price agreed upon is $800,000 cash.
The deeds have all been made ont in the name of Frank P. Carey, signed by
the claim owners and placed in escrow in the First National bank, where they
will remain until the money is paid, which will be inside of ninety days. The
syndicate has already examined the property thoroughly and is perfectly satis
fied with it, but Captain Plummer, of the Elkhorn company, will arrive in a
tew days to make another examination. It Is the intention of the. syndicate to
put in additional machinery and sink four shafts for the thorough development
of the property, which, when opened up, can not fail to prove a bonanza to
the syndicate and of inestimable benefit to Walkerville and Butte. The pur
chase gives the company 9,000 contiguous feet along one of the best silver
veins in the camp, which is ample room to work the ground on an extensive
scale and extract therefrom millions of dollars. In the past the Amy and Sil
versmith has produced a vast amount of silver and gold, the dividends alone
being $249,000. It is developed to a depth of 500 feet, and up to a short
time ago was under lease to a number of Butte men, who worked it at a profit
until fire destroyed the hoisting works. The Goldsmith is also a heavy pro
ducer, is developed to a depth of 400 feet, and for years has been worked
continuously by its owner, George Tong. The other properties have not
been developed to any great extent, but they are known to be good, and with
a little work will become paying propositions of no small proportions. As
soon as the money is paid over the work of improvement will be commenced
and prosecuted with vigor, and in addition to the large number of men now
employed in and around the camp hundreds more will find work through the
enterprise of the company. In connection with the sale it is said that the

Portland bankers and merchants deserve credit for their forbearance and
display of business tact during the financial flurry last fall. Their action
averted a panic in the northwest, one banking house in the metropolis holding
off when they had over three million dollars of claims against various parties,
mostly in Eastern Oregon. Had these claims been pressed it would have en
tailed ruin on the debtors. In taking the action they did the Portland bank
ers displayed good business judgment. It was the first time the financial
ability and capacity of the Oregon metropolis was tested so strongly, and the
result demonstrated its stability in a way that was creditable to that city, the
financial center of the northwest. A storian.
