Rjiokano, Juno 25. Operations In
tho gold belt south of Libby, Montana,
continue to absorb attention. Tho
district is an old ono, comparatively,
yet until last fall no effort had bceu
mado to got a mill on any of the prop
erties. Last yoar tho West FlBher
Mining Compuuy waa organized with
Iowa capital. A saw mill and stamp
mill wero constructed laat year and
soveral short trial runa in tho atamp
mill wero mado to test tho milling poa
sibilltlea of tho oro. These runa wero
entirely satisfactory. Thia spring op
cratlona wero resumed in the mill and
tho development of tho mine likowiso
continued. Tho mill is now running
24 hours a day, using about 30 tons of
crude oro. It ia a 10-stutnp mill.
Not far from tho West Fisher Min
ing Company's property ia a group of
claims which havo been stocked for
if 2, 000,000. It ia known ob tho Amer
ican Kootenai Mining Company, and
la owned largely by parties in Cincin
nati and Libby
The Faith, Hope and Charity Corn
pay haa been incorporated and stocked
at a million shares of $1 each. Tho
property is located on Hoar creek, be
tween tho Snowahoo nnd Silver Cable
mines. Tho values aro silver and lead
with some gold.
Mr. Peterson, of Spokuno, has taken
a contract to run 100 feot on tho De
fender claim, situated in SnowBhoe
gulch, and work is now going on in
that property. This property has been
developed by about 700 feet of tunnel
work and tho showing in the long tun
nel is considered to be an exceptionally
good ono.
Work is being carried on iu all of
the placer claims arquud Libby, and
the feeling among tho minors ia that
the presout year will bo ono of tho beat

In addition to these producing mines a

of tho Clackamas river, having diacov

to Portland to bo assayed. Tho ledge
on which these parties locatod claims
is situated in tho Saddle Mountain dis

nine miles distant from Mount Hood,
and tho snow in places is six to eight

and run a tunnel or sink a shaft.
GOLD FROM KLONDIKE.
Eighty-five Tau'enger llrlng Out Aboul
8300,000 In Uuat.
The steamer Dirigo has arrived at
Seattle from Lynn Canal, having on
board 85 passengers, who brought about
$300,000 in gold dust. The steamer's
olllceia report 100 pasaengers at Bonnet
who were unable to reach Skagway in
timo to catch tho Dirigo. These, it ia
reported at tho Skagway offices of the
steamship company, aro bringing out a
vory largo amount of gold, greater, it
is said, than any party of similar sizi
that has yet arrived.
Tho largest owners of gold dust on
board tho Dirigo were the McDonald
brothers, of Seattle, Roily and Donald.
Tho former haa 230 pounds, valued at
$60,000, and the latter 140 pounds,
valued at $30,000. Charles. Hutchin
son brought out 200 pounds, valued at
$43,000. The remainder of tne ship
ment is owned by the remaining pas
sengers iu sums ranging from $5,000
up.
Tho passengers all declare that this
summer's output from the Klondike
will be much larger than last, and esti
mates aro made all the way from $25,
000,000 to $40,000,000. As yet they
say the clean-up has not started thii
wuv, und probably will not until after
July 15.
The latest advices from the gold bear
ing districts remote from Duwson, it ia
said, show that the clean-up is almost
double the amount first reported. Bo
nanza creek alone, it is stated, will
send out $8,000,000 to $10,000,000,
which will bo the largest amount com
ing from any of the creeks.
The Dawson banks, it is said, hav
taken up about" $2,000,000 already,
and when the Dirigo's passengers left,
were buying very heavily every day.
In tho city of Dawson business was
vory lively. There was no scarcity ol
labor to speak of, although evory man
who wanted work was working at good
wages. Food prices were beginning
to drop, and the general belief was that
beforo another month Seattle prices foi
ordinary commodities would prevail.
