ny, the location of which is shown in

how Lode, lying about mile and half
north Of the town site of Butte, and
courses northeast and southwest. This
lode has a known length of some two
miles, with a breadth Of from fOrty-fiye
to fifty feet, and is developed to the
depth of 700 feet by the Alice, 500 feet
by the Moulton, and 4OO feet by the
Magma Charta.
Beginning on the west the following
well-knOwn minesare located contiguous
toeach other on the lode: the Rising Star,
owned by Walker Bros, Of Salt Lake
city; the Frank Moulton, owned by the
Moulton Mining company; the Alice,
owned by the Alice company; the Mag
na Charta, owned by the Alice compa-

The Alice Gold and Silver Mining
company was organized i'm january,
1878, under the laws of Utah, and has
its general office at Salt Lake City. its
mines and works ut Walkerville, Mon

The old mill was commenced in the
spring of 1877, and was first put in OPP
Grafton in October, 1877, having then
fifteen stamps and being ut that time
the largest quartz mill in the Summit
Valley mining district. Five additional
stamps and two Howell roasting fur
naces, with forty-inch cylinders, were
added in the summer of 1873.
The new mill was begun in the spring
of 1850, and commenced to run in De-
celnber of the same year, and both
mills have been run continuously ever
since: The new Alice mill, containing
80 stamps, Is the largest dry crushing
and chloridizing quartz mill in the
world.
THE INTERIOR OF THE NINE.
Descending the Alice shaft and stop
ping ut the lO0-foot station, we find u
drift running east to the boundary line
OF the claim, about 400 feet, and to the
west to within l6D feet OF the Moulton
line, about 535 feet. About one-third of
the stopping ground exposed OH both
sides OF the shaft OH this level has been
extracted and sent to the mill. The
average width of the vein ut this depth
is about Sd feet, including both the
north and south veins, which run par-
allel to each other and are separated by
horse of granite about II feet in thick
ness.
On the 2oO-foot level drifts h ave been
run to the east about $50 feet, and to the
west 425, and about One-tOurth of the
vein has been stopped out and milled.
On the 3O,ltOOt level drifts have been
run to the east about 275 feet, and to
the west about 400 feet; and about the |
same amount of ore has been milled in
proportion to the time the level has
been worked, as on those above,
On the 4OltfOOt level drifts have been
run to the east at least 375 feet, and to |
the west about 300 feet.
On the 50(toOt level drifts have been
run to the east $50 feet, and to the west |
500 feet.
On the 6O0-foot level drift has been
run to the east 275 feet, and no DRIFT |
has been run to the west, although one
has been recently started.
On the 7Olef0oC level q drift has been
run to the east about 100 feet, and to
the west $50 feet.
On all these levels drifting and stop
ing are being continuously prosecuted
on both veins, and from parts OF both |
veins pay ore Is being extracted daily.
The average daily output OF the Alice
mine is 81 tons Of ore, the average as
say value of which is about $50 per ton.
From the very first day Of their de-
velOpment the two contiguous veins of
the Alice mine have been steadily and
prOfitably WOrk3h, up to date, from
