hfINZE IS The STUMBLING BLOCK.

Kidder, Peabody & Peabody, have
notified the Boston Stock Exchange that
more than two-thirds of the stock of the
Boston & Montana and Butte & Boston
Mining companies has been voted in
favor of a consolidation of the two COM
panies with the Amalgamated company,
the brokers have requested that receipts
for the stock turned over to them be
placed on the unlisted department of the
Stock Exchange.
This makes the consolidation a sure go
provided the injunctions obtained by the
Heinze forces in New York and Butte
do not hang on too long. One of the
large shareholders in the Boston & Mon
tana is credited in the east with the fol-
lowing remarks in favor Of the proposed
consolidation:
THE situation at Butte is very COM
plicated, but the Boston & Montana
settlement, so far as stockholders hav-
ing the opportunity to get good price
for their stock is concerned, will be
found, in the very end very simple.
Nobody in New England should OBJ

Harry r. Kendall of Fergus county IS
demonstrating to the mining world ina.
the cyanide process of extracting gola
from rock is easy enough when 1t is foliy
understood.
A little over two years ago he poushs
two mining claims in the Forth Moe
casin district of Fergus county, paying
$3.50 for one and $500 for the other.
The first is known as the Leaking
claim and the other as the klondfke.
knowing that the ore could be treated
successfully by the cyanide process, ne
built a plant costing $4,000 and began
operations His anticipations soon bios
somed into a reality, and along about
January he bonded the entire property
to an eastern syndicate for half NIL
lion dollars. One of the conditions OF
the bond, however, was that he should
manage the property during the life Of
the bond, and this he is now DOING.
When the property was bonded there
We're about 10000 tons OF ore in sigilc,

erty will be managed by Philip Wiseman,
w. F. Clymo and P. o. Wells, formerly
CONNECTED with mining companies in
Butte.
In regard to the company and its pos
sessions a recent issue of the Copper
Era, of Clifton, Arizona, says:
'There is by actual measurement
over 600 900 tons of good grade smelling
and concentrating ore blocked out In
the mine. OF course this quantity will
be largely augmented by further and
deeper development. The deepest work
on the Shannon is 800 feet, but by con-
tinuing tunnels on recently acquired
ground into the Shannon mine the ore
body will be encountered at depth of
about 1000 feet, which will double the
quantity of ore in sight, and furnish
reserve sufficient to run 500-ton smelter
a great many years. The company has
been so greatly encouraged by the de-
velopment of the Shannon mine that it
has decided to enlarge it's field of opera
tion and has acquired the Yankie group,
consisting of eight claims, and the
eleven claims from the Amalgamated
Copper company. The number of claims
now controlled by the company is thirty
three. upon several of which develop
mert will be pushed at once. Since the
commencement of operations, including
recent purchases which added to the
amount necessary to erect the plant,
railroad connections and the purchase
of other property. the company has ex-
pended an amount approaching $780,

were frightened out of a good deal of
their stock at 225. If now more than
twice this amount is offered for Boston
& Montana, even though offered through
the stock market, should any one object
to New England taking it: Nobody
has ever talked of Boston & Montana
as intrinsically worth beyond from
four or five hundred dollars per share.
Now, if anybody wants to get his
money out of Boston & Montana he
has an opportunity to do it, and he has
not got to consider any questions of the
relative value of Boston & Montana and
Butte & Boston.
"Allowing that Butte & Boston has
no great value intrinsically. it should
be stated that the same people own
both Amalgamated and Butte & Bos-
ton. and are responsible for both. and
that they have right to put these two
properties together, so far as Boston
& Montana STOCKHOLDERS are concerned.
Now. what is the position of the Boston
& Montana man who claims that Butte
& Boston is worthless, and that Montana
is the only great thing on the mountain?
Certainly Montana has got consider
able fight on it's hands with Mr.. Heinze.
Its property is heavily enjoined at the
present time, and it's legal warfare must.
from the present outlook, go on increas-
ing. Allowing that it wins out and gets
free of it's injunctions and litigation.
there must be limit to it's value. and
that value depends largely on the price
of copper.

Pile have not. it must be conceded. made

The long list of paying mines in the
Butte district is being increased with
astonishing rapidly. Ten yeas ago there
were not more than thrty-five good

that number has been more than
doubled, and the end is a long ways off

mi"ise PURPOSES. The tracing Of the
ere veins in other directions has not
beer g"eat. but this can he accounted
for in the fact that the district east is
known TO be full Of copper ore, while
ern rart Of the city has not given forth
sl,''e' antial evidence that it contains
this class of mineral. This may be due
to it's undeveloped condition, for with
a few exceptions 30 very deep shafts
have been sunk. The ore of the Brit
ta"ia. located in the extreme southwest
corner Of thu town. is the first in that
section. it is claimed. to show the ex-
ista>ce of COPPER there. All of the ore
of the south ard west. however. is rich
in silver and gold. and would pay hand
someiv for it's extraction If the price OF
the former metal could be increased to
the point at which it belongs.
One of the many great mining enter
prises of the present is the work which
the Smokehouse company has begun

Its opera tons have been confined to the

feet. and then cross-cut north and south
to intersect the lodges known to ira
verse the ground east and west On
each of these veins levels are to be
driven. and as the company owns a vast
und rtaking can be readily understood.
In the sinking of the shaft the SER
vices of only few men are requre,1
but after the cross-cut and levels are
started the force will be gradually in
creased as the work progresses, and
there will be no limit to it, That ore

THE DISPATCH IS PRODUCING
A Large Quantity of Ore in Sight
When the Slump of 1893
Occurred.

r. The Cleveland company now in
charge of the Dispatch mine, which is
situated in the southern part of town,
is making good progress in the pre-
liminary work of developing the prop
erty. The company took hold of the
Dispatch on April / and on the 10th be-
gan pumping the water from the old
workings, which extend to a depth of
400 feet. Stopping is now in progress
between the 1870 and 120 foot levels. The
vein at this point is from Is inches to
feet thick and carries silver assay
value of from 10 to Ill ounces, in addi-
ton to which there is some gold. The
property is in charge of Thomas Bar
ton, formerly foreman at the Gagnon.
Ten men are employed, but as soon as
the water is all out of the lower levels
the number will be increased. A new
boiler is being added to the power.
The Dispatch is one of the mines of
this district which the slump in silver
in 1898 closed down. For year or two
prior to that time it was operated by
George w. Farlin of this city and Noyes
