MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS

fully IN operation, and stlli another
tunnel has bored It's way TO the store
OF riches I'm the mountain. These
lodges are said to yield ore averaging
not far from 500 per ton, while at
times ore Is encountered which goes
way w IN the hundreds. So II Is seen
that perseverance I'm mining oyercom-
ing all doubts, disappontwents, delays
and hardships, has brought it's reward
TO the Nelson boys.
"But II Is 10 Joe Hall that even great
er fortune has come. Joe started a
country store In the old deserted town,
whose bare1 dry bones lay around him.
I'm deserted houses, unoccupied founda-
tions and open cellars like scattered
skeletons on an Arizona desert Yet
Joe had the courage TO begin business
IN a place whence all had fed He
stirred about and seeing many deserted
mines around him, began al once al
though no miner, TO develop some Of
these lie got hold OF a little coffee
mill reduction works, run by a water
wheel about M big as country-mado
cheese. with this, some credit, some
money and an uplifting hand to all
who asked him for aid, he became the
resurrector OF the old camp, ana now
where was desolation and ruin, Is a
prosperous town, with steady pulsa-
ton OF business passing through it's
arteries.
But this Is not all the part played by
Joe Hall lie has kept up a continuous
prospecting OF the locality through
'grubstakes' and money paid to pros
pectors, And now all at once, as by
conjurors wand, riches apparently un-
bounded have been opened TO him with
IN eaby reach, In the side Of the noun
tain known as Sugar Loaf Here IN
the ST. Patrick mine, ore In fair uuan-
tlty yielding from $4,000 per ton to
many thousands, has been found at a
depth OF only 40 feet.
"Tho miners Of old Cope district owe
much to Joe Hall for the present life
OF the camp, and he has reaped re-
ward such as few promoters seldom
do"

BUTTE's COPPER OUTPUT.
An Authority Believes 3O0,000,000 Lbs.
WIN he Produced This Year,


WIN he Produced This Year,
n the estimate OF an eminent mining
authority In Butte is accepted, the cop
per production In Montana last year
broke all records OF the state, says an
eastern exchange, In view Of the sew
eral shutdowns Of Amalgamated proper
ties, the statement that Montana,
which Is practically the Butte district,
produced not less than 300, 900 pounds
Of copper Is almost beyond belief. but
the authority referred TO says the pro-
ductlon amounted to fully that, al
though no official figures are available.
ON those figures the production in 1908
exceeded that OF any previous year by
fully 600000 900 pounds, The highest pre-
yous production was in 1902, the estl-
mate for which was 100000 600 pounds,
official figures not being available. The
last official figures on record In Butte
are for 1901, IN which year the produc-
ton was 22S, 900 pounds.
II the production last year reached
300,000000 pounds the Amalgamated
produced about 2iO,0OO,00 pounds, the
remainder being contributed by the 9TH
er operators In the district. AS pre-
Nlpuely thtllnuttui AHt uully HIlpHltHt
of ore from the Butte mines TO the
smelters amounts to about $500 tons.
The mines Of the Amalgamated COM
pany have never been in better condi-
ton and mover looked better than to-
day A greater amount OF rich ore Is
being shipped than has been shipped In
several years The report of rich ore
on the 2,000-foOt level OF the Anaconda
mine has not been exaggerated nor in
the least overestimated. The statement
that on that level the company is min
ing on q vein 80 feet wide, in tho cen.
ter OF which is four-foot body OF rich
copper glance, is only surprising TO peo-
pie vino have claimed that the Anacon-
da was barren and worked out. II is
true that the company Is looking for
and opening new ground, because the
company aims TO keep from two to four
years ahead In It's ore reserves. None
OF the mines Is less than two years
ahead Of the smelter, and some are at
least four years ahead

Gleaninss from Greers.

Never have the people of Spartan
burg county been as well situated and
satisfied as they are this year. They
are not burdened with debts. One
result of the easy condition is that
up to December not bushel of
corn was offered for sale in Greers.
That shows that the farmers are not
pressed for money. There will be
much corn for sale, but they are in
no hurry to get it off. There is no
grumbling on any account. They
are all on up grade. The bank at
this place is doing good business
with the farmers. Most Of them are
improving their methods of farming
by using the disc cutaways, middle
bursters and weeders.
a large crop of wheat and oats
has been sown.
Land in this section is becoming
almost too high for farming purposes.
One man has been offered $50 per
acre and be lives four miles from
town.
A new mail route will be started
December Is, making No. 6.
A. p. Bennett, of this place, visited
Walhalla and Seneca recently. He
has bought land in the New Hope
section, and expects to make that his
future home. We regret for him to
leave us, but maybe our loss will be
some of the New Hope girls gain.
The bank building is nearing COM

to discuss the various modes of prcpara-
tion and civilizations; also the different
