| some OF tnem II not all. ne Work OF
the company has so far been confined
mainly to the Saxton claim. upon which
the surface showing has been pro-
nounced by competent authorities to
be unsurpassed and undoubtedly indi.
eating the presence of ores in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The underground
workings of the mine tend to confirm
the surface showing, and there is a
large body OF free milling gold ore ex-
posed carrying values that will aver
age 80 per ton. This ore is such that
it can lie milled with but slight expense
and the loss, in competent hands, would
be small.
Other parts OF the mine Ind cate the
presence somewhere near OF large bod
les of copper; hund reds of feet showing
the red metal It is generally conced-
ed. however, that depth must be at
tanned before any considerable guam
tty of copper may be expected, and
this the company is now preparing to
do Sinking from the 300-foot level
win he resumed shortly, with what.
there is good reason for believing will
be most gratifying results.
On other ground belonging to the
Mckinley company there are showings
that many contend are superior TO that
on the Saxton, but as this was consid-
cred the most convenient for develop
ment. for many reasons work on the
others has not been prosecuted as vig-
orously or at all.
The Aultman ground has been pro-
ductive, in times past, of sufficient of
the yellow metal TO allow all the news
papers in the State to equip with Mer-
ganthalers aud power presses and a
surplus sufficient to allow all the editor
lal staff TO slake their thirst, and good
knows, that would be no small sum in
itself.
Other claims will be taken up in the
order Of their promise, ahd II the com
pany does not succeed in developing a
big mine, then will Nature be most
egregiously in error.
1t would seem that many of the old
timers in this district were in error In
their earlier estimation OF the values to
be had in the camp, all of them sup
posing that it would be preeminently
gold camp, later Developments, how
ever. tending To show that copper
would be the metal most abundant
IL was with this view that the bond
upon the Ruth group was taken by
Messrs. Gray aud Bartey. Develop
ments there in the iast year hare dem
oustrated that copper would be tue
domineut metal, aud depth is constant
and most emphatieally confirming
this view, an immense body OF ore,
with increasing values as the wall is
approached having been encountered
ON the 300-foot level Sinking confirms
this theory and it is freely predicted
that by the time the water level is
reached body of copper of sensational
size and value will have been opened
AT the New York and Nevada Copper
Company's property a body of the red
metal, occurring in the form OF a sui
phide, has been been developed that
men who have seen some of the bodies
OF similar ore that made Butte famous,
say is the equal of any in the Montana
camp. There must be something in
sight, else the company would not now
be expending fortune in the erection
of plant for the treatment OF its ores;
nor would they have purchased all the
available water in the district had they
not anticipated some use for 1t.
The expert who examined the Chain
man, the property owned by the con-
pany closely allied with the Mckinley
company, goes upon record most EN-
phatically as being OF the opinion that
it is true tissure vein, and mining men
in all sections pin their faith upon that
sort of formation
The Chairman property, since 1t has
been owned by the present company
has undoubtedly been jobbed, both un-
Willingly and knowingly, and Mr..
Corning says there are values in the
taiings dump and tanks almost equal

erty. He reports an yverage value in
the tailings of SO. So more than the val
