MIR. M'CUNE IN BUTTE.
He Tells of the Operations Among
Northern Mines.

President A. W. McCune, of the Salt
Lake City Railroad company, who is
operating very extensively in mines
in Montana and British Columbia. has
returned to Butte from the latter dis
trict and in response to inquiries put
by a Butte Inter-Mountain reporter
the other day, gave some interesting
data regarding the mines Of Trail
Creek country. The interview is as
follows:
What do you think of the Trail
creek country" asked a reporter to-
day of A. w. McCune, who has just
returned from there.
II think it destined to prove the
most productive mining camp discov-
cred within the last twenty Years. The
town of Rossland is very lively. 1t
looks like what White Pine and
Phoebe did in the early days. The
present output of the mines is about
5000 tons per month, of which about
one-half comes from the War Eagle"
You own an interest in the War
Eagle, do you not?'
- do, sand Mr. McCune, land if I
owned a little more Of it I'd put Pull
man palace cars on the Salt Lake
railroad and ride the people free of
charge I also bought a half-interest
in the Nickel Plate. which is a most
promising property, though not a
bonanza yet like the War Eagle. But
I have great faith in it and in the
country"
What do you think of the mines up
there in which Butte men are inter-
ested-mines like the West LIE Roi and
others lately bonded by George Casey,
Captain Hoatson, General Warren
and others?''
Il regard any property in that vic
unity as a most tempting speculation.
To find ore there means to find
mine, because permanence seems to be
a distinguishing characteristic of the
vein system The lodges are not SO
numerous, or at least do not crop out
as extensively as in Butte, but wher-
ever one is discovered there is safe
place to sink. For new country, it
has no equal out Of doors but as am
a buyer, not seller, perhaps I ought
not to say that"

BONDED THE FAIRCHILD.
Colonel Wall Has Interested himself
Further in Camp Floyd.

Colonel Wall Has Interested Himself
Further in Camp Floyd.
Colonel Wall has interested himself
very deeply in properties of the Camp
Floyd district, aside from his former
possessions and projects, he having
just bonded the Fairchild group from
w H. Sherman, thought to be one OF
the most promising groups in the dis
trict. 1t les in the near neighborhood
of the Sunshine and while the develop
ments are net extensive, yet the little
work done there has shown conclu-
sively that the ore is there in great
quantities and, what is better. the
values are also there. 1t is the in
tention Of the colonel TO do some sys-
tematic development work on the
group ana the indications for the open-
ing up of a second Sunshine are very
good. The exact amount of the bond
has not been made public, but il is
known TO be a good round figure, for
otherwise Mr.. Sherman would not be
likely To part with such a valuable
property.
That latest venture of the colonePs
proves unquestionably that the Mer-
cur-Ophir pipe line is to be rushed to
an early completion, for without It the
properties just bonded by him could
never be equipped with mill, some
thing they may need before the end
sef the present season 1t is reported
at good progress is being made with

UNCOVERED THE VEIN.
Sunshine Orc Body Found in the Mill
Excavation.

Excavation.
Important developments are taking
place out at the Sunshine, the latest
being the discovery of the vein of
the famous property at the point where
is to stand the new mill, now being
rushed to completion as fast. as men
and money can do the work. In ex-
cavating for the foundation of the
plant the workmen cut over the ore
body and opened it UP for distance
Of seventy feet right on the surface,
thereby demonstrating most forcibly
that there is a considerable increase in
the width of the vein as it goes down.
No change will be made in the location
of the mill on account of the discovery
of the apex of the vein, for the owners
of the property have all along been of
the opinion that the strike would be
made in the vicinity Of where the mill
is to be located, II not right on the
spot, as has been the case.
On account of the favorable condi-
ton Of the ground, the contractor is
away ahead with his work and the
time Will come in handy on the other
end. Such splendid progress is being
made that the placing OF the founda-
ton will commence within the next
few days. Mr.. Jacobs went out to the
property on Sunday morning for the
purpose Of experimenting the work
going OH there.

After q silence of several years oper-
dtioHs are to be resumed at the proper
ties of the Lucky Boy Gold Mining
company near Bonanza, Custer county,
Idaho. For the purpose of examining
the properties and deciding on just
what work is now necessary and the
details Of operation, President and Su-
perintendent Treweek left for the
north yesterday afternoon and expects
TO oe absent from the city for the
next two weeks at least. He went
armed with an order Of transfer of the
property of the Dickens Mining COM
pany Nimited), which has been ac-
quired by purchase by the Lucky Boy
people. These properties are consid-
cred to be very valuable and in the
past have been producers of gold and
silver the value of which was over
$4,000000, two-thirds of which was in
the yellow metal. II is the intention
of the company to do some extensive
development work in the mines and
also TO operate the thirty-stamp chlor-
idizing mill which has produced SO
much ir values. Major Stanton ac-
companied Mr. Treweek to the north
and it is understood that he will have
charge of the working of the mines.
1t is anticipated that the mill will
commence me treatment or ores Win
in the next six weeks, while operations
iii the mines are to be resumed at
once. The plant on the properties cost
in the neighborhood of a quarter of a
million dollars. In the mill and the
mines fully 100 men will be given en-
plOyment.
The deal which gave the Lucky Boy
company the properties of the for
eigners has only recently been finally
closed up, although it has been on for
some time past and the order for the
transfer was dated only yesterday and
signed by Mccormick & CO. as agents
for the Dickens people. The princi-
pal owners of the Lucky Boy are
Messrs. Treweel1, Hanaur and McCor-
nick the former being president and
Mr.. Hanauer vice-president. Josiah
Barnett is the treasurer and Charles
Stevenson secretary All of the gen
tlemen nsmed are directors.

MERCuR PROPERTIES ACTIVE.
Attorney Street Thinks uuch En-
ergy Is NIisappIied.

Attorney Street, who is interested
with General Penrose in the Gold Dust
group, one of the promising ones of the
Camp Floyd district, spent several
days in the district last week and also
included Sunday in his stay there. The
general did not return with him but
will remain at the properties for sew
eral days yet, having secured a leave
of absence. Mr.. Street reports great
activity at Mercur and over the entire
district. Properties are being opened
up everywhere and in many of them
the showing is first class. On the Gold
Dust considerable development work is
being carried on and the outlook is
very promising.
In the opinion of Mr.. Street. who
has paid particular attention to the
properties of the Camp Floyd district
and studied the formation of the coun-
try, much of the development work
being done III the district has been
thrown away By reason of the owners
of properties always following the al
tered lime, which is extremely deceiv-
ing and not always indicative of the
presence of ore. It is the gentleman's
opinion that the true vein or veins will
be found in practically every property
in the district

MILLIONS INVESTED.
Gold Mines Now Popular Among
MOneyed Men.

New York, June 2i.-"Millions of dol
lars have been invested in gold mines
during the past few months, said John
McDonough, president of the First Ma
tional bank Of Creole, Colo. "a curious
proof of the solidity and conservatism
of the investors, is the fact that they
do not allow these deals to be made pub
lie if they can help it, the odium attached
of late years to the mining business be-
ing so great as to almost affect a mans
credit. This spring several large gold
properties have been purchased by New
York and Boston capitalists, but these
men adopt a different method to that in
vogue d few years ago. The days of
wild eating in this country are practi-
cally gone. Investors nowadays first
make sure of the presence of an ore body.
They pay for ore i'll sight. That is the
method which mas made David Moffat,
of Denver, and other miners so wealthy
The capitalists step in with the cash re-
qdired to bring the ore TO the surface.
Deals have beer put through this spring
in California. Idaho, Colorado, Montana
and Arizona, some Of them running over
a million and a half of dollars. In Eur
ope especially IN Paris, London and
other money centers there seems to be a
mining craze, but that is for South
African stocks. and we do not want any
