SINKING ON THE
MAYFLOWER
THE 025 FOOT LEVEL REACHED IN
THE GREAT MADISON
COUNTY MINE.
WATER LEVEL HAS
NOT BEEN REACHED.
Sunrise Developments-Rio Tinto in
Spain is a Wonderful Mine
Copper Market.

The great Mayflower mine in Madison
county which was purchased a few years
ago for $780, 600 and has since produced
over a million dollars for Senator w. A.
Clark and his associates is still one Of
the great gold mines of Montana.
Las week sinking to the 925-foOt level
was completed, but no drift has yet been
run and the value of the ore at that
depth is unknown. AS the ore 100 feet
above this is very high grade, however,
it is believed that the same character of
ore will be found in the lower levels.
The Mayflower is the only telluride
mine in the state. At the surface much
oxydized tellurium was found, and as It
is getting heavier as depth is attained 1t
is believed that it will be much richer
below water level. A few weeks ago con-
siderable water was IN the
shaft and it was thought that water
level had been reached, but recent de-
yelopments lead to the belief that 1t is
only seepage water.
DEVELOPMENTS at the Sunrise mine, an
adjoining property, are still in progress
under the management of w. D. Bonn,
but no ore has yet been encountered: Ine
English syndicate which is back or Mr..
Bohmahas expended about $75,Ooo IN the
effort to discover an extension or the
Mayfower ore body, but up to late mas
haen unsuccessful.

COPPER AND COPPER SHARES.

Although the copper market is passing
through a period Of quietness, the copper
mining industry is in a splendid position
and possesses the essentials of prosper
ity, says a New York dispatch to the
Boston Financial News. The principal
copper producers have been preparing
for many years past to become the great
sources of supply. They have been
equipped to enable them to meet h de-
mand which has arisen during the past
two years, and they are now in a posi-
ton to accumulate vast fortunes for their
shareholders.
The demand for copper this yea from
abroad has been phenomenal, and it
promises to continue. With shipments
OF over III, 100000 pounds of copper to
foreign ports since January 1, the ex-
tent of the European market is at once
apparent. Domestic buyers are waiting
and watching their opportunity.
At 16k cents copper mining is one Of
the very best paying industries now ex-
tant, and from those figures down to u
cents the producing mines should be able
to earn handsome dividends.

SNAKE SHOWS IN BUTTE,

Judging from the large attendance that
are daily hocking to see Zeta and the
poisonous reptiles hat she handles it
seems as If the show will be assured of
a long stay in the city. This show must
not be compared with the disgusting ex-
hibitions given by Bosco on West Park
street a few weeks ago. Zeta the little
lady in a den eight feet wide surrounded
on ali sides by a mass of rattlesnakes of
all varieties, large Rock Pythons, ETC.,
is a very entertaining and pleasing per-
eson to converse with showing all the
different species of reptiles explaining
their habits, modes of living, ETC., also
showing the poisonous fangs of the rat
tlesnakes. This is one of the largest
dens of poisonous reptiles ever placed on
exhibition, we'll worth Is minutes of
ones time to gaze at. Nothing to shock
the most fastidious lady in the land, The
large Rock Pythun, King George, is well
worth the price of admission alone to
see, measuring IA feet long and weigh
ing q pounds. Besides this Zetat has
over four hundred and fifty reptiles in
the den, some of the rarest varieties
v placed on exhibition. An exhibition
is given every Is minutes, showing the
mode of capture, how they are tanned
and domesticated Miss Zeta takes the
widest and most ferocious reptiles and
in a few hours has them completely un-
der her control. sE

MONTANA COAL & COKE.

President COram's circular to b
stockholders of the Montana Coal &
Coke company, in which ne calls atten-
ton to the issue of s per cent bonds,
amounting to $500, 900. has attracted at
tention to the affairs of the company.
The bonds will represent a first mort
gage upon the property Of the company.
The 200 additional ovens will be built
Immediately, contracts for the same hay
ing been signed and material for a pOr-
ton of the ovens being already en- route
to Horn, Mont. The issue has been
underwritten.
It is understood that the Montana Coal
& Coke company has on it's books all the
orders that the plant can handle during
the summer.
When the new ovens have been COM
pleted the company will have a compile
ment of 3O3 ovens. There will be addi-
ions to this number from time to time.
Those familiar with the property believe
that within the next four or five years
the Montana Coal & Coke company, will
have not less than 1000 ovens in COM
mission.
The demand from the mines for the
company's product is steadily increas-
ing, and it is believed hat this demand
will continue to grow. The company is
it now stands has practically a monopoly
of the coal and coke business of the state
of Montana and contiguous territory.
With increased depth the ores of the
Anaconda and the other mines of the
district show an increased percentage of
iron ore, which is making necessary a
change in the treatment of the ore and
a change from the old style of reverba-
tory %urnac to blast furnaces.
The old style of ~reverbatory furnace
calls for the use of coal, while the blast
furnace requires coke.

THE RIO TINTO I N

Boston Financial News: W. A. Car
lyle, manager of the Rio TintO mine, in
Spain, is quoted as having written the
following concerning that mine to a
friend.
.@This mine is a monster. There are
1885. 00O, 900 tons of ore in sight, of which
we must extract 1000, 900 tons this year.
We have a very good railroad 375 miles
long, with 30 locomotives on the main
line and SO at the mine, and this year we
will handle 5,000,0 900 tons of ore. There
are very extensive underground works.
The other day, down on the 1,%2O0-foot
level, I was shown a solid body of ore
600 feet wide. There are 10000 Spaniards
at work, and they work every bit as
we'll and as hard as the men in the west
that we were paying $3.50 a day; yet we
only pay here from so cents to IS cents
per day. I am very we'll pleased with
the whole place."
According to Mr.. Carlyle's statement,
the Rio Tinto has by far the largest min
ing plant and employs the greatest num-
Der of men of any mining company on
earth. The records of Rio Tinto opera
tions at hand, however, obtained from
it's annual reports and other sources,
would seem to bear out his statements.
The Rio Tinto mines pyritic ore, which
average only 2B per cent in copper, are
about one-third as rich as those of the
Boston s. Montana. 1t is therefore under
the necessity of handling more tons Of
ore than the great Anaconda and Cal
umet & Hecla, though it produces only
a little more than half as much copper
as the former and about two-thirds -
much as the latter. The Calumet &
Hecla and Anaconda each employ about
half as many men as the Rio Tinto is
above credited with, but their pay rolls
must be very much larger. If it were
not for it's ability to secure labor very
cheaply, the Rio Tinto company would
find it a difficult matter to work it's low
grade refractory ores at a profit.

Fairy Story About An Alleged Mon

A st. Louis newspaper publishes a wild
fairy story about a young Montanian

a wealthy mine owner, who went east
several years ago, and at the breaking
out of the Spanish merican war, at the
urgent request of his sweetheart, enlist

fame and glory for him by proxy. while
