Dozens Of individuals and other cor

sides. and companies formed for the

EAST SHE DISTRICT.
Men of Wealth and Enterprise Are
Developing It's Ore Bodies.

A large portion of the Butte copper
silver mining district has not Vet been
developed sufficiently to determine the
extent of the ore bodies which it is
reasonably certain underle the surface.
but the work is in progress and back of
it are men who have capital enough to
carry it to a successful issue. Part of
the undeveloped section is what is
known as the East Side" name given
it by reason of the fact that piece of
fiat country possibly two-thirds of
mile wide separates it from the west
hill. on which the large developed mines
are located. and the east range of the
Rocky mountains. the apex of which
in an air line from the center Of Butte
is not more than four and a half miles.
At one time it was supposed that the
great ore bodies of the West side ter
minated at the western edge of the
fiat. but it has been recently demon
strated that such is not the case--it has
been shown that these veins link the
vast deposits of the hills above the
city and those of the Rocky mountain
range at the east. making of the m one
continuous zone of rich ore. the eX-
treme ends of which no one can even

That Butte is the greatest mining GEN.
ter on earth no one possessing knowl-
edge of the various districts of the globe
can question for even so long as a min
ute.
There are other places from which a
vast quantity of ore is being taken-this
much will be admitted-but when the
yield of ore from any one of them is
compared to that of the output of the
mines of Butte the latter is an easy VIM
ner. 1t is quite true that some individual
mines in other districts may yield ore
the average value of which is greater
than that of the Butte mines. but on eX-
animation it will be found that these
mines are few in number and their
ore bodies small. In Butte. however. it
is different. There are large veins of
ore everywhere. They parallel each
other in an east and westerly course,
some being within few yards of each
other While others are farther. AS an
evidence of this fact it may be stated
that the Smokehouse quartz lode claim
on which a large portion of the business
portion of the city is built. contains
three we'll defined veins of ore, any one
of which, it is believed. would give up
sufficient ore to pay for development
and leave a profit. The north vein of
the Smokehouse lies directly under the
line of building facing south on Broad
way; the middle vein crops at the south
side of Broadway and the south vein
has its apex along the line of the alley

About a year ago an attempt was
made to explore these ore bodies, but
after a shaft had been sunk to a depth
Of 500 feet between the south and middle
veins at a point about twenty-five yards
west of the southern portion of the Fin
len hotel complications arose over an

sired to explore and work was suspend

CORUNDUM IN MONTANA.
It's Discovery Will Create New In
dustrv in the State,

The discovery of corundum in Mon
tana is likely to prove of vast benefit to
the state. as there are very few places
on earth in which it is found. The Mon
tana find is in Gallatin county, not more
than 100 miles from Butte. It is claimed
by experts that no better quality than
the Montana product has been found
anywhere. The GaMatin county deposit
is reported as being quite extensive.
The total output of corundum in the
United States during 1900 was valued at
$5S,1OO, at the rate of SO per ton, and in
1899 the total value of the output was
$7S,57O, at $S1 per ton. There are two Or

The copper output in this country
during 1900 was 600, 49,, sos pounds against
5S1.S1S,091 pounds in 1899. In Arizona
and Michigan the production last year
was less than that Of the year previ-
Gus, but in Montana it was greater,
the output of this state for last year
being 254, 460,713 pounds. an increase of

$40 pounds or 64.3S7 long tons, a fall
ing off of 10000 600 pounds in the latter
state. OF the Montana production in

furnished 66.200OG0 pounds and distri-
huted $6,450,O00 in dividends among it's
stockholders, it's total receipts being

are the Colorado, which owns several
