der about three Yeas ago, have finally
gone into the camp IF the American
Smelling & Refining company. The
deal was closed in New York yester-
day. and through its consummation G..
K. Mccormick and Mr.. Snyder clean up
a snug fortune. Just what effect the
closing of the deal will have on the
building of the new smelter at the
property it is impossible to say at this
time, but whether the plant is built or
not, it is certain that the product of
the mines will be handled by the Amer
lean Smelling interests.
A short time ago, according to in
formation that was made public in
Boston on Friday last. American Smelt-
ing interests, H. H. Rogers, Charles d.
Barney & Co. and other prominent New

proportion of the stock formerly held
by the White Knob Copper interests.

A message over the private wires Of
James & Pollock & Co. from Boston
yesterday gives the follow detailed ac-
count of the new company that is to
handle the HeinZe mines at Butte, in
GLIDING Walker Bros Alice mines. the
control of which has been purchased:
''The Butte Coalition Mining company
was Incorporated under New Jersey
laws, with $4,000 900 capital, 00O, 900
shares of a par value of S15. We an
nounced on Saturday the holding
company organized by Messrs. Cole
and Ryan to control Butte mining
properties, including all the producing
mines of Mr.. Heinze or the United

the area of recent litigation at Butte
THE company starts with these prop
critics, s4,000,O0 in cash and control Of
the Alice Gold & Silver Mining COM
pany Of Butte, the property of which
comprises seventeen full claims in one
solid block, beginning about 1000 feet
north and west of the ground of the
North Butte Mining company, which
Messrs. Cole and Ryan have so sue
cessfully developed since 1904. 1t has
a capital of 4000 900 shares, a full ma
jority of which have been secured by
the Butte Coalition company, at not
above $1.75, although some quotations
of minority shares have been made at
$3.50 to $3.50 per share
'"This was formerly the big silver
mine of Butte, to take charge of which
Marcus DAILY went to Butte many
years ago, when copper at Butte had
never been thought of. The property
paid some millions in dividends as q
silver proposition. It was formerly
controlled by the Walker Bros, Salt
Lake bankers, who were big mine own
ers in the early days of Butte but
later retired from active mining opera
tions The Alice shaft, now full Of
water, reached a depth of 1.500 feet
before it was abandoned. 1t will now

ing operations in Montana.
No Interest Has Control.
''The proprietary interests in the
company have been selected by Messrs.
Cole and Ryan, not only from the lead
ing Butte mining interests covered by
the associates of these gentlemen in
the North Butte and Amalgamated Cop
per companies, but also from among
their associates in copper enterprises
at Lake Superior, in Arizona and from
Mr.. Coles associates in the United
States Steel corporation. Mr.. Heinze's
United Copper company and the Gug-
genheimS will also have large inter-
ests, but no one interest will have a
controlling ownership, and the Anal
gamated and United Copper interests
Jointly will be less than a majority
ownership in the shares. AS stated
when we first announced the terms of
settlement of the Butte copper contro-
versy, there is no public subscription
or allotment of shares in the new cor
poration, and the fortunate sharehold-
ers are making immediate payment of
their allotments. The shares will prob
ably be first listed in Boston. where
the North Butte shares are quoted, and
ldJSI IIl6y may DS LSlSQ III new 1OTk.
Starts on Dividend Basis.
The new company starts on a divi-
dend basis, having an output of more
than two pounds of copper for each
dollar of capital. In fact, deducting
the 100000 cash in the treasury, the
present output of so-called Heinze
properties taken over stands capital
lied I'm the new company at not over
SO cents per pound of output. On the
present price of copper the Butte Goa
litiOn company starts with earnings
above 81 per share per annum.

Frank A. McLain, the tried and
faithful Representative from this
district, for a new and inexpe-
rienced man in the halls Of Con-
gress, is meeting with little favor
among the people Of the district
generally, and this is as it should
be. When the people of State
or district have a man to repre-
sent them at Washington who has
proved bis fidelity, his ability, his
trustworthiness at all times in.

appreciation, to dismiss such a
faithful public servant just because
