ROCHESTER BASIN.

1.-THE hopes of the people of Rochester
basin and surrounding country are CEN
tered ON the work now in progress at the
Watseka. mine," said e. q. Mueller, a
prominent mining man of Rochester, to
an Inter Mountain reporter today. Mr..
Mueller owns the Buffalo n several
other promising properties in the basin
from which he has shipped considerable
ore in the past.
1.-THE new shaft ON the Watseka has
now reached a depth Of 200 feet con-
ing has been suspended temporarily and
drifting is / in progress. A connection is
also being made with the old shaft which
is down about 800 feet on an incline. This
shaft was developed about eight years
g by c.. w. Gooda for the Colorado
Smelling company, but owing to the
great influx Of water at that time work
had to be suspended. -
There IL considerable water in the
mine yet. but it Is decreasing every
month. The most Of It is surface water.
It is the intention of the present oper-
ators to connect the new shaft. with the
the country thoroughly and then resume
the work Of sinking. In my opinion the
basin can be drained in q short period of
time. When this rasulc is attained it
will afford the poor hold srs Vt mining

to work their mines.

Manifest Inaccuracies in the
Experts Assertion.
PROVES HIMSELF WRONG
On Experts Figures the Highland Boy
Is One of the Greatest Cop
per Mines.

The publication of a clipping from the
London Financial Times in the Inter
Mountain yesterday relative to the High
land Boy mine of the Utah Consolidated
Co.. of Utah, caused considerable discus
sion among mining men in Butte last
evening.
The London paper claimed that it had
taken out about a year to obtain it's re-
port; admitted the existence Of an i'm
mense vein of 7 per cent copper but finds
1.-THE conditions. of extraction suck that
there is little commercial value to the
ore. 1t cannot be practically concen-
trated but must be smelted directly be-
tween all in the form Of chalcopyrite,
finely divided, thin and fiakey and cas-.
lily lost in washing"
The London expert goes on to say that
the result is with 6 per cent copper the
total smelling cost of the Highland Boy
ore is $12 per ton to $3.50 for the Anacon-
da. This expert estimates 1.-THE quantity
of ore in sight above the 600 foo level as
age of Z per cent" and claims hat there
can be no profit in working the ore only
with high prices for copper.
Butte mining men laugh at the above
statements, especially when such men as
Frank Klepetko of the Boston & Mon
i ~ - IA LIN PAO0NA@
tendent of the Highland Boy smelter
and others equally as reliable have made
thorough tests of the ore n know the
values carried. It is also known that In
addition to the above million tons of ore
in sight above the 800 level" there is a
ledge Of ore 100 feet wide in No.. z tun
mel or at a depth Of 700 feet.
Taking the experts own figures, the
Highland Boy is one of the greatest cop
per mines in the west" said a we'll
known mill man, who has a several
years experience in handling copper ores.
six per cent copper ore at 10 cents is
worth $12 per ton. The total cost of
mining and smelling cannot exceed 81 per
ton and probably in Utah will not exceed
Sc per ton. Assuming it to be 81, how
ever, this will leave q net profit of IS per
ton for the copper alone. Highland Boy
ore. however, carries large values in gold
and silver, probably 81 or more per ton,
SO that the profit will be at least 81 a
ton. With a million tons in sight this
would mean net profits og $1,000. 900 above
the 600 foot level. The. talk about the
Highland Boy ore not being easily smelt-
ed Is all rot"
A large proportion of Utah Con. or
Highland Boy stock is held in Butte,
largely by Boston & Montana people. 1t
is the general opinion here that the ar
tfcle in the london ape was inspired
for the purpose of depreciating the alu
of the stock. in order that some of the
London people might secure large blocks
of it at low prices.
