THE NINE.
The Property to be Incorporated
amt FulIy DereiOped.

1t is our pleasure this morning to an
nounce that, at last, it has been fully
determined to give the National mine a
thorough development. For the past
several days the gentlemen interested in
the property have been discussing
among themselves the advisability of a
heavy expenditure of money and have
been lookinginto the chances for getting
it back, and ofrendering the investment
a profitable one. In order to come to a
conclusion in the matter, the adjoining
claim, the Gagnon, has been subjected
to a rigid and practical examination, the
result of which, it is pleasing to note,
was of such a favorable character that
the new wne of the National have de-
cided to open their properly and are con-
tidcnt of the success of their enterprise.
The mine will be incorporated as the
Original Butte Mining company, under
the laws of New York state. The stock
will not be issued until June, 1881. There
will be issued 300, 600 shares having a par
value of $40 each. There will be a block
of 5000 shares offered in Butte, for which
agreements to deliver in June will be
given by Mr.. Jos. Rosenthal. The pro-
ceeds of this block will be expended on
sinking alarge three-compartment shaft.
Work is to be begun Immediately. Ma
chinery has been ordered of the capa-
city to sink 600 feet, and the work will
be prosecuted as rapidly as possible.

THE DEXTER n ILL.
improvements dnd Output During
1880.

During the latter part of October, the
Dexter mill, owned by w. A. and J. X.
Clark, was closed down for twenty days
for repairs and is now in excellent shape
for a long run. Much Of the machinery
which was almost worn out by several
years of continuous operation has been
replaced by new stock. a pair of two
flue boilers, "A feet in length and As in
ches in diameter have been placed in po-
sition. They are the largest in the terri
tory and are preferable to the tubular
boilers formerly used. The pan capa-
city has also been increased, two pans
of a pattern designed by Mr.. J. X.
Clark having been put in. They differ
from the old plans in having the slaves
placed on the inside instead of on the
outside of the rims. New stems have
also been added to the stamps and for all
practical purposes the mill is once more
as good as new. During the past sum-
mer the Dexter has been running princi-
pally on Burnett, Diamond and Stevens
ores, the bulk of Which was of low grade.
The bullion production for the year,
therefore, is not large, being as follows.

A COPPER
An Eastern Company
About to Begin OpeI.-
atoms on a Large
Scale.

In the latter part of last fall a party of
Boston capitalists visited Montana to ex-
anime the mineral of the
try and with a view of investing to some
extent should an opportunity offer. Dur
ing their stay in Butte, they were SO ia
vorably impressed with the richness,
permanence and extent of the Butte
mines that arrangements were at once
entered into for the purchase of a piece
of mining property and the erection of
reduction works for the treatment of
what ore it might produce.
One of the chief promoters of the en-
terprise is Mr.. A. F. Midgeon, Of Con-
necticut, who visited this territory w.
eral years ago. This gentleman will re-
main in Butte as superintendent.
The mining property of the company
consists of one of the richest sections of
the Parrot silver-copper ledge, which is
beyond doubt an extension of that on
which the National, Gagnon and Origi-
nal arc located. Several shafts have
been sunk ~on the mine as far below
water level as it was possible to go with
out pumping machinery, and in all cases
where the ledge has been opened up, it
has been found to possess all the indica-
tons of ~permanence, to be both rich and
extensive. In the early spring it is the
intention of the company to start a main
shaft, and with the most improved ma
! chinery to sink it as deep as may be nee
essary to insure a large and constant sup
ply of ore.
The product of the mine will be
worked at the smeiter now in course of
erection, about one mile southeast Of
Butte. The works will consist of three
buildings, the dimensions of which to-
gether are 175X75. These have been
erected under the direction OF DR.. Ernest
Grenier, an experienced engineer and
metal1urgist. Within a few days the
buildings will be ready for the machi-
merry, which was ordered two weeks ago
er is being constructed on the same gen.
eral plan as that of the Montana copper
company, and in all likelihood, the pro-
cess will be quite similar.
The capacity of the furnaces will be
between 30 and 40 tons per diem, and as
the product of the Parrot carries a heavy
percentage of copper besides a considera'
bic value in silver we may confidently
expect that the matte shipments will
add very materially to the metal product
of the camp. The company, which is q
solid one in every particular, will give
employment to a large number of men,
and its operations will undoubtedly
prove of great advantage to Butte as well
as to it's members.

HELENA, Dec. 90
News reached Helena yesterday that o..
Embody was frozen to death during the
cent storm. The most careful inquiry, ho
ever, has failed to discover the full particuli
of his death. From what can be ascertain
it seems that lie came to Helena on Frid
last with a load of wood, and after dispesl
of it started to return to his home on Sid
creek. Somewhere III the valley he stopd
at a house to warm and then continj
on his journey. The horses were star
in the road, while he followed :
foot behind the sleigh. The team 81
got ahead of him and he attempted to read
house by taking a short cut across the praa,
but mlstook the way and went in an oppa1
direction. The team reached home the SAD
evening. A party o o afterward started
search Of the missing man, but did not q
coed in finding him until yesterday ~afternOd
When discovered, life was notyet extinct, '
he died before they were able to get him Il
house.

THE RED OAK LODE.

This fine lode, situated in the Bonlder dis
trict, was discovered June the Sth, 1880, by
its present owners, Messrs. T. J. Frost, H. j.
johnson and Samuel Triplett. The ore is
silver bearing and from fourteen assays made,
runs from IS to 2,2S7 ounces per ton. Dur
ing this winter, the fortunate owners are de-
veloping their property by a tunnel 100 feet
in length hat will tap the lode at a depth of
IS feet from the surface. At the present
point of working, the ore body shows over
three feet in width, encased within smooth,
well defined walls. The Red Oak bids fair to
become a very valuable mine.

The Bell.

In order to do full justice to SO magnificent
a mining property as the Bell, and which
has paid so handsomely during the year,
more space is required than can be given in
the Holiday number. A description OF the
bonanza was left until the last moment in
order to give an account of the years
production entire, but the allotted space was
filed up with other matter and we are unable
to publish the figures. In our next daily
issue will be found a full and correct discrip-
ton of the Bell with all facts in relation
thereto that may be of interest and impor-
lance.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Smell
TER.
A Healthy Showing for the Year
1880.

The operations of the Colorado-MOn-
tana company for the season of 1880,
have been of a very satisfactory nature.
During the greater part of the year the
two stacks have been kept employed. 1t
is not deemed necessary again to describe
the works MOI the method of reduction.
Suffice it to say the former have under
gone no material alteration since last
year, and that the latter is eminently
successful, thanks to the experience and
energy of Superintendent Williams.
The following will give an idea of the
amount of business done by the COM
pany during 1880:
Number of tons shipped, LOO
Number oftons of ore worked = 1900
Av. value per ton in silver, $50
Tons of Silver-copper matte, $50
Silver val. per ton, 500
Copper val. per ton, (variable) 1852
Total val. of matte, $3O1 $40
The ores principally worked were from
the Gagnon, Star West, Self Riser and
Haney.
The company now has on hand 1000
tons of ore purchased from a number of
base ore mines. Thirty-six men are en-
plOyed to run the smelter. The furnaces
consume % cords of wood per day.

THE ALICE Z
Eighty Stamps Pounding OMt the
SiIge7' Treasure.
II NEW MILL.

IHE NEW WILL rE #.r ..
With intense interest have the people of
Butte watched the erection Of the Alice mill
but 50 extraordinary have been the develop
ments in the lower levels of the Alice MIN
that the interest was unmiXed with fear.
Every experienced miner in the district is OF
the opinion that the mine is ~abundantly able
to keep 80 or even 100 stamps in operation for
many years. Soon after the Alice Gold and
Silver Mining Company was Incorporated last
spring, the construction of a new ~ stamp
mill was determined upon. A careful calcu-
lation of the resources of the mine, however,
showed that 40 stamps would be unable to
crush the increased amount OF ore which
would be available for extraction when the
lower levels should be opened up and soon
after the excavation for a 40 stamp mill had
begun, it was decided to add 20 stamps to its
capacity, making it an so stamp mill. In
April 1880, the grading was begun and at IL
O'Clock a. M, on Dec. 18th, the stamps were
dropped for the first time. The building IS
1451Ix24351 feet in dimensions and was built
by skilled mechanics in the most substantial
manner. The appointments of the mill are
perfect in every detail. The machinery is
from the establishment of Gritfiths and q
Wedge. GAINESVILLE Ohio, and weighs over lOO,-
900 pounds. A $50 horse power engine furn-
ishes the motive power and three sets OF
boilers are in place. A force of As men,;'24
on each shift, is required to run the huge
concern. 1t is the largest dry crushing silver
mill in the world and in the years to follow
we believe it will be the cause OF as many
dividends as any other in present operation.
THE OLD MILL.
During the past year the old mill has been
in uninterrupted operation and has crushed
on an average 20 tons Of ore per diem. The
mill makes the following splendid showing
for the twelve months:
Number of bars of bullion shipped 21O
Average value per bar S 2,11S.29

pany's mines had previously been ex-
hausted of their free ore. These mining
properties, though among the best in the
district, can not be longer depended up

formed, will hereafter only work custom
ore until roasting facilities shall be adj
ded some time during the ensuing season.

We are indebted to Mr.. Geo. Mosher,
agent of the express company, for the
following figures, showing the amount
of bullion shipped from Butte per ex-
press during the past year. 1t should be
remembered, however, that many of the
mining companies ship bullion at less
than at its actual value, perferring to
take the risk of loss as by so doing, the
rate of expressage is considerably dimin-
ished:
Weight ofbullion shipped, lbs, 81, 1853

been destroyed by fire alone in the United

equal to that of last, a sacrifice upon the altar
