An Associated Press special from
Butte says: A. H. Tarbet of Salt Lake,
Mrs. p. A. Largey and heirs of the
Largey estate and others have pur-
chased the famous Smoke House lode.
The deal includes the Destroying Angel
and the Copper Bottom claims and the
consideration is said to be 100000, $685.
900 of which was paid in cash The re-
mainder is to be paid in five $4,000 in
stallments, falling due every sixty
days. The Smoke House, Destroying
Angel and Copper Bottom claims were
owned by John Moves. ST., James Muir
ray, Pat Mullins, the heirs of the Lar
gey estate and Colonel H. H. Horst,
while smaller interests were distributed
among a great number of people. The
lead has always been supposed to be
rich in copper, and when ground was
broken for the foundation of the
Thornton hotel building last spring the
lead was exposed, showing a width of
about 100 feet. Shortly afterward ne
gotiations on Mr.. Tarbet's behalf look
ing to the purchase of the property,
were commenced. About a week ago
Mr.. Tarbet, accompanied by Frank Nc
CURE, his private secretary, arrived in
the city from Salt Lake, and since that
time conferences between the owners
Of the property and the purchasers
have been numerous. If the results at
depth of 400 or 500 feet are what the
Tarbet syndicate experts expect, the
main shaft viii be sunk several blocks
south of the place where work was
commenced. 1t is the intention to drive
the main shaft down to a depth of 1000
feet. The vein runs under the very
heart of the city, and tunnels will be
run under large business houses.
