territory and gave 1t as one OF the
reasons for the cutting down OF the

The fact was given out late yester-
dav afternoon that the deal with the
Woodslde company had been consume
mated. while at the same time 1t was
admitted that all the holdings OF tina
Ferry estate on Treasure hill had been
acquired.
The amount OF money involved in the
transaction was not given out. but

ACTIVITY IN BUTTE.
Fine Ore Values Found In Lower Lev.

Especial to the "News,')

Especial to the 'News,D
Butte, Mont, May l6,-Eastern min
ing experts familiar with conditions In
Butte declare that the mines Of this
city are only In the primevial stages OF
development. that the most valuable
ore bodies are yet to be encountered,
and all unite In calling Butte the
greatest copper camp in the world"
The great Anaconda mine Is pointed
ont az the most conclusive proof OF
their assertions. The arguments Of
Heinzc and his engineers have proven
correct and the lower levels have found
rich in copper ore, although the owners
themselves formerly had very grave
doubts concerning the value below the
1600-foot level. II was only necessary
TO sink through zone of white iron
pyrites, Rich ore was struck on the
2,200-foot level and the 2.400 foot level
is Just as dood.
The return OF Joseph A. Coram to
Butte Is creating much speculation In
mining circles. 1t is generally conceded
that r. Augustus Heinze Is associated
with the Boston man. Some interest
ing announcements are confidently ex-
peoted az II Is known that Mr.. Coram
an his associates have secured control
Of large acreage of valuable ground
in this city. In addition to his Butte
holdings, Coram has properties In Cal
ifornia and Mexico, not to mention the
mines at Bingham, Utah. Hhis friends
declare that the American Consolidated
Copper company is the biggest venture
yet undertaken.

HEINZE AT BUTTE,
a Correspondent Writes That He Is
Getting Out OF Montana.

A correspondent of the Boston Com
mercal AT Butte, says
Heinze appears to be getting rid OF
his interests In Butte, instead of ex-
tending them, as he had announced he
would do, His latest sale Is OF all his
interests in the Davis estate real estate
and mining properties to j. A. Coram
for the American Consolidated Copper
company which Coram Is organizing,
or trying TO,
II was freely announced when the
American Copper was first talked
about that Heinze would be one of the
organizers. and would share with Cor
am the big interest In the enterprise
Then, however, came the settlement
between Heinze and the Amalgamated,
and Heinze, as If acting in accord
with some consideration In the settle
ment agreement with the Amalgamat-
ed, tried to discourage Coram, advls-
ing him not to organize thte American
Consolidated company at this time.
According to published reports,
Hein2e told Coram that the Amalga-
mated interests didn't Ike the idea
of IA new interest in the Butte field Of
the magnitude OF the company pro-
posed by him, and told him ii would
Standard on people.
II was represented that opposition
to tho American Consolidated Copper
was especially due to the fact that
Amalgamated interests were Just then
about to float Butte Coalition. II is
surmiseG that because of this view OF
the matter, Helnze declined to go In
with Coram, and the latter was forced
TO buy out his interests In the prop
critics to be taken over from the Da-
Wis estate.
The understanding is that Helnze
| gets part cash and part payment in
stock of the American Copper, and
| Coram says Hcinze will have no inter

Cnram Is not certain that Amalga-
mated interests have opposed him. but

Holders Of stock In the Honerine
Mining company, with property at

next weeks annual meeting with the
keenest interest.
Many shareholders believe tho time

get some return on their investment.
They have been told that the Honerine
is one OF the greatest mines IN the
state; that when the production of
ore through the great drain tunnel be-
gins, the tonnage that will come forth
to build up balance In the treas
ury will certainly lead to early
dividends.
In some ways the Honerine has been
