more than positive regarding the WIS

Drill Holes to Be Put in On the Bi

The Mail is informed that the work
on the Bi-MetalIic drain tunnel is fast
coming to close. They are now
within 27 feet of connection and will
put in four holes with diamond drill

holes within two feet of the water

\ SECOND BUTTE.
A. H. Porter Inspects Some Rich Cop
per Properties

A. Fl. Porter, the we'll known min
ing man, is at work on mining deal
which will probably net all concerned
a handsome return. During several
days of the past week Mr.. Porter has
been investigating some copper proper
ties in the BlackfOot country in the
interest Of big copper concern of
Butte. From what The Mail repre-
sentative was able to learn it seems
that Mr.. Porter has got onto someth-
ing pretty good and if everything
turns out as it is represented some eX-
tensive copper developments will be
made in that district. The location
of tie properties, as stated before, is
in the Balckfoot country, north and a
little west of Drummond, in Deer
Lodge county. There are two groups
of claims which are known as the
Tiger group and Copper group. There
are thirteen claims in all. On the
Tiger claim, in a shaft 40 feet deep,
Mr.. Porter informs us. there is a
thirty-foot ledge of copper ore shown
|
per cent. copper to the ton, and on one
of the claims on the other group there
| is a lead disclosed for 1000 feet which
runs about 30 per cent. copper, and
Mr.. Porter says the lead is "a big one,
being from 10 to so feet in width.
Besides this there are some gold leads
on the properties that run well up in
that metal. Mr.. Porter is highly
pleased with the outlook and is greatly
surprised that anything of such mag
nitude would be allowed to remain
undeveloped for SO many years, espe-
cially SO when the fact that the cOun-
try is SO very easy Of access as it is.
The question of getting roads into the
property is of SO little consequence
as to amount to almost nothing when
the value Of the properties is con-
siderad.
At the present time there is a great
demand for good copper properties,
and when man can show up good,
big and permanent lead containing a
reasonable value, it is the easiest thing
to place it. Mr.. Porter has big com
pany behind him and has little feal
but that the deal will go through all
right, and he thinks that when the
district is developed it will hardly
have rival in the state outside OF
wonderful Butte. He states that it re.
sembles Butte in many respects, the
most important of which is the mul
tiplicity of leads and their great mag
nitude, which makes him feel that be
fore long Montana can truthfully boas
of another "greatest mining camp OF
earth. -
Mr.. Porter brought in with him sew
eral hundred pounds of samples, al
neatly sacked and labeled, which The
Mail representative inspected ant
which Mr.. Porter took over to Butte
with him this morning for inspection
and examination by his confreres.

In the senate Monday Senator Davis
of Minnesota, secured recognition for
his speech on the resolution framed by
him enunciating the policy of the
United States on the Monroe doctrine.
The senator spoke without manuscript
or notes, but before him was a port
folio containing numerous historical
papers to which he referred "It is a
matter OF common observation, he
said in beginning, ''that each year our
foreign relations increase in difficulty,
completely and importance. This re-
suits from the growth of our nation
and the tendency of the times to bring
together nations in social and COM
mercial intercourse.
1t was this tendency, said the SEN
ator, which explained the fact that the
United States was involved in more
difficulties with Great Britain than
with all countries combined.
He was glad to know, however, that
the last month had brought some
melioration of the immediate difficulty
to which the attention of the country
had been given. If these new condi-
tions were founded on the Monroe
doctrine then they would receive the
warmest approval of the American
people, but if they involved any con
cessions Of the principles laid down by
President Monroe, then the people
OF this country would visit upon those
concerned their condemnation and
disapproval.
Mr.. Davis said that as he under
stood the Monroe doctrine 1t was an
assertion by the United States that il

in places which are the headquarters
of division, brigade, a column or

"Article 2. To travel in the country

"Article 8. All owners of CONNER

of columns will take such measures as

regarding such places, which, while
useless for the country's wealth, serve

The eastern republicans, and of
course the lickspittles of the west who
do the bidding of the eastern bosses,
say they are in favor of "every dollar
being as good as every other dollar,
and that this can only be brought
about by that mysterious and drawing
phrase termed "bi-metallism. If
they are sincere in the statement,
why have they made ''fifty-cent"
silver dollar for use in the west, the
producing section, and enc hundred
cent gold dollar for use in the east, or
the boarding section? Every one of
our coinage laws now in force are Gre
atoms of the republicans when in
power, and if every dollar is not as
good as every other dollar (and every
body knows that it is not, that silver
is debased and not considered as good
as gold) 1t is the fault of republican
legislation only. AS that party has
dehased the producers money in the
past, can any sane man expect the
same party to do otherwise in the
future?
