East Butte Company Acquires Big
ACREAGE for MiIIsite

Advices from Butte are to the effect
that the East Butte company has Just
added to its holdings a piece of ground
close to its mines and containing 1875
acres. While the purchase was made
and value as a mill site, the cornpany's
engineers figure that considerable of it
is likely to become even more valuable
for the mineral which it is believed to
contain.
Several good strikes are reported to

Another Strike important.

A second strike, that is counted as Of
equal Importance TO the one described
by the management. is that which has
been made in a raise from the Arm
strong No. I level, los feet below the
Peabody level. This raise was followed
up in a lime-quartzite contact, and it
has developed a tremendous tonnage of
fine ore through which it has been
driven for every foot Of the distance.
At one point in the raise a drift has
been sent out sixty-five feet and this
also is all in ore, with nothing to indi-
cate its limits
Additional Importance is attached to
Doth or the strikes mentioned as they
nave tended to demonstrate the ore
bearing characteristics of the lime
stone belt which had previously been
considered as the hanging wall limits
of the ledge system. Instead of being
the casing, as it were. to the lodges. it
mas been demonstrated to be the real
matriX Of the richer sulphide ores and
opens UP field Of possibility, the mag
nltude of which, viewed in the light of
what has taken place, is almost beyond
human comprehension.

BOSTON CONS
RECORD-BREAKER
Ten Days Work in New Sulphide
Bodies Shows Over $6,0OO,-
900 Worth of Ore.
SECOND STRIKE VALUABLE
SHOWS SOMETHING NEW IN ORE
BEARING ROCK.

So absolutely astounding have been
the developments in the Boston Consol-
idated cOmpany's sulphide ore bodies at
Bingham during the past ten days that
President Samuel Newhouse says he
is nearly carried away by the reports
made to him by Mine Manager Louis
S. Gates.
Taking the latters report concerning
what has happened as a basis from
which to figure, it is shown that during
the time mentioned there have been
added to the mines known bulk of sui
phide ores no less than 1872, 900 tons, al
lowing ten cubic feet to the ton, Of ore
that is relied upon to average 8 per
cent copper This would mean that
the new ground proved up holds 81, $780,
600 pounds of copper which, at 18c a
pound, has value Of $6,220,S0 That
every days work adds to this remark
able showing Is found in the mine man
ayers statement to the effect that
there are no signs of the hanging walls
closing down on the ores. If any such
a showing has ever been made in a
copper mine in this country in the
same length of time before, history has
failed to chronicle it This wonderful
exhibit, a disclosure that, in one fell
swOOp, has practically doubled the
amount of exposed ore of this class in
the Boston Consolidated mines, was
brought about in this way:
Defining the Big Body.
Some little time back the news crept
out that a body of sulphide ore had
been opened on the fifty-fOOt level for
a distance of approximately 240 feet
along the strike of the vein; that it had
been demonstrated to have a thickness
of from thirty to forty feet, and that
the mass averaged all of per cent
copper. Conditions were reported to
Mr.. NewhOuSe and he directed that the
work Of reaching out for the continue
ton of this remarkable shoot of ore be
commenced on the Peabody tunnel lev
el, 200 feet below Jan three cross
cuts were started by Manager Gates.
and six days ago each of them had
been driven through, or rather into, the
hanging wall limestone to a connection
with the ore bodies, which were found
identical in character with those
opened 200 feet above. Up to yesterday
these crOSs-Cuts which are something
over 100 feet apart, have been sent
through the ore for a distance of forty
feet and the hanging wall side had not
then been reached at either point
These crOSs-cuts practically prove I'D
the ore on the Peabody level for a dis
lance of over 225 feet and, with every
thing to indicate that the ore body
there Will prove much thicker than If
did above, gives the calculations made
above a standing that is at least rea-
Sonable.
