SCOTTISH BARON PROJECT.
Smelter and Railroad Will Be Com
pleted Within a Year.

H. 3 Mckay, managing director OF
the Boston & Mercur mine, returned
yesterday from California. where he has
been for several weeks looking after
the Scottish Baron project in Inyo
county, which is recent acquisition
OF Mr.. Mckay and his associates
The surveys are being made for the
new line of railroad to be constructed
from Johannesburg north a distance of
lOO miles. where the mines are located.
After the surveys are completed and
the grades established, the construction
work VIII be started as soon as possible
and the road pushed forward to compile
ton.
Mr.. Mckay says the development
work in progress at the mine has dis
closed some immense bodies of copper
ores, which are being blocked out pre-
paratory TO the erection of the pro-
posed smelling plant to be put up dur
ing the next year
While at the property Mr.. Mckay
spent considerable time in selecting a
site for the new works: he also looked
into the matter of water power facili-
ties to be had in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, where a site was also Sc
lected for large lectric power works,
from which point electricity will be
supplied to operate the mine and smelt-
e ana 10 IurIlSn the new town, which
is to come into existence with electric
lighting. The electric plant will be
built up in the mountains a distance
of over twenty miles from the mines
The water supply for the camp will
also come from that distance
Mr.. Mckay says his people will not
await the arrival of the railroad before
starting to build the smelter and other
buildings and improvements Mate
rial Will be hauled in by teams from
independence, a point on the railroad
south of Carson City. he ex-
poets 10 have the smelter completed |
and ready to operate by the time the |
new railroad is finished, which will be |
about a year hence.
The Scottish Baron project is one of |
he most gigantic mining enterprises !
ever undertaken in the west and will |
mean the outlay of an immense amount
If money.
Some who have seen the property
md know something of its merits say
he mine will become a producer equal

ARMSTRONG; IDAHO BUY.
Associates of Samuel Newhouse Go
Into Seven Devils Country.
Boise Statesman

A deal has been closed that means
! the extensive development of the Head
copper mine in the Ruthburg district
which has been popularity supposed to
be in the Seven Devils, but which is
not, being, however. a portion of the
great copper belt that extends through
Washington county. The firm of Arm
strong & Co. of Boston has taken a
working bond on the property The
deal was put through by Mr.. Hath
away, who IS a member of the COM
pany. The consideration is not made
public, but if the Boston company's de-
velopments disclose what is promised
the owners of the mine viii be on easy
street Rumor fixes the consideration
at 100000. but those interested decline
to make any statements regarding the
terms
Mr.. Hathaway will at once put "a
large force Of men to work on the
Head He viii work the property two
shifts. his idea being TO develop it for
all it is worth before spring.
The ledge OF the Head has been cut
at depth of over geo feet from the
surface. The ledge is phenomenalIy
wide, but the best ore is seven to ten
feet in width The mi,e is unquestiOn-
ably the best in the district. and per-
sons VINO have examined it place it side
by side with the best copper properties
in the Seven Devils. One of the best
known copper experts of Montana ex-
am;ned the Head not long ago. and
his report was of a very favorable
character.
The Head mine is owned by Fred
Head of Boise, W. G. Lane of Poca-
tello and Ed Purtill of Montpelier. the
two former well known Short Line con-
ductors, and the latter an engineer on
the road The Boston company that
took the bond on the Head is the same
that recently bonded The Magnolia
group in the Miller district.

A few days ago Ed 4Witcher, a

an examination of the property and in
prospecting it uncovered a strong vein
about twenty feet below the location
