along the strike of the vein for a. dis
lance Of about 1000 feet. The forma-
ton is q contact between porphyry and
granite. The ore is a free-milling gold
quartz that is identical with the min
eral found in the Homestake mine in
the Black Hills in South Dakota. De-
velopments so far show that the vein
is immense in size and very regular and
in places showing a width of 20 feet
or more. and from numerous assays
and paintings it has been demonstrated
that the ore carries average values OF
from IS to SO per ton.
Now that the plant is nearly COM
pleted, Mr.. Haven assures me that the
ore can be worked at a cost of not
more than $3.50 a ton. The plant is
waterDower mill. consisting of
six-foot Pelton wheel. the water being
conveyed to the wheel through pipe
line to the ditch on the hill about 1,1OO
feet above, giving 400 feet of perpen-
dicular fall and furnishing 63 inches
of water at the lowest stage.
The plant is equipped with three
Crawford mills. which were built in
Salt Lake CITY, three Challenge ore
feeders, and one of the latest improved
Gates ore crusherS. The mill building
is a fine, substantial structure built
of native wood, cut and sawed on the
ground. The building is boarded inside
and out and is filed in with SaWduSt,
thus making the structure frost proof.
The edifice is 36x40 feet in dimensions
on the ground floor and is bolted to the
granite rocks and is by far the finest
plant in this western country.
The ore, as it comes from the tunnel,
is dumped into cars, which are run
down the tramwaY distance of 1,600
feet, and the mineral is dumped auto
matically into bins, from where t is
hauled by teams three-Quarters of a
mile and dumped into the bins at the
top of the mill.
1t is the intention of the company
to build a horse tramway all the way
to the mill, SO as to do away with the
inconvenience of the wagon haul. The
company has installed a fine dynamo
at the mill and the plant and the mill
houses are lighted by electricity, which
gives the place metropolitan appear

THE ANACONDA COPPER CO..
Report of the Production of Ore and
Bullion For the Year 1896.

nSHOLL VI t11C I1OoQCt1Oi1 u OIC anu
Bullion For the Year 1896.
In its annual report just published, the
Anaconda Copper company gives the fol-
lowing figures regarding its output for
the year just passed:
During the year 1C7 036, 697 pounds of
fine copper were shipped from Anaconda
in the form of electrolytic bars. anodes,
or converter bars. The sales during the
same period amounted to S5,476. 795 pounds
of fine copper, 4,49S.560 fine ounces of
silver and i, 3Si fine ounces of gold. On
June go 1896 the stocks of copper, silver
and gold on hand were valued at si.SSS,-
O22. 2e. Since that date these stocks have
been practically all sold, realizing a larger
amount than this valuation.
The total expenditures at the mines
were S5.071, 6T.61, which includes about
1855. 900 expended in equipping and de-
veloping non-prOducing mines, and about
1851 900 for new machinery and plant for
the producing mines.
The total expenditures at the reduction
works at Anaconda, exclusive OF the
cost of doubling the electrolyic refinery.
were $5.6l65l6.7S. which includes about
$4,000 expended in improving concen-
trating. furnace and converter plants.
During the year there was shipped TO
the reduction works al Anaconda /, 255. S74
tons of ore. of which 3d. 6S tons came
from the Anaconda ~roup of mines. and
o.5O6 tons from the Syndicate group and
other mines. This is u very much larger
product than ever before, exceeding that
of any previous year by some $4,000 tons.
and was produced without any forcing of
the mines.
During the year an unusual amount Of
development work was done on the pro-
ducing mines. with the result that at the
end of the year the reserves OF known
ore were considerably larger than they
were at the beginning of the year. For
new machinery. requirements and other
work not directly chargeable to mining
the sum of $500, 9S1. 06 was expended on
these mines. On the non-producing mines
the sum of $3.50, 4S4.54 was expended for
machinery and development. the largest
item being SIS 011.99 for the Camp Creek
mines. situated some Is miles south of
the mines at Butte. All these amounts
have been charged in our accounts to the
cost of mining.
REDUCTION WORKS.
There was received at the reduction
works 1.276. 156 tons of ore, of which 90
2S2 tons were purchased, the remainder
coming from the mines of the company.
