BUTTE COPPER MINES
MAY CLOSE DOWN
owing TO the Great Surplus on
Hand and the Prevailing
LOW Prices

According to Associated Press dis
patches published in the papers to-
day the Amalgamated Company's
great Montana mines in Butte will
soon be shut down until the price of
the red metal again scars up.
Lake copper was yesterday quoted
at 161a cents electrolytic at 16 cents.
The Amalgamated company has an
enormous supply on hand and it is
believed that this is the reason of
the down prices.
Statement OF the closing down of
the great Butte mines was made by
people closely in touch with the
alfalrs of the company and it is be-
heved to be a fact. The demand is

Colo
Plated Hinges

Inc papers OF CalifoTni ana few.
IL this state are giving considerable
space to the TACT that a man by the
name of A. d. Meyers, who has made
millions in the mining camp OF Gold
heid has gone to Long Beach, Cali
fornia where he is building home
at a cost of S150,000. The main
feature of the affair is that he is 60
ing to plate the door hinges and locks
with gold taken from his mines at
Golddeld.
Meyers is not the first man who has
made fortune in Nevada to spend
MS wealth in this manner. In the
early sixties Sandy Bowers who be-
came wealthy in a few days by the
sudden rise in Comstocks, built him
a mansion in Washoe Valley on the
west shores OF Washoe Lake. The
materials used were the finest chat
Wetlth could purchase, the furnish
lnss, tapestries and carpets We're i'm
ported from Europe and it was truly
mansion. Along with the other
Things Bowers had his door hinges.
locks and handles made from bullion
from the Comstock mines. This
mansion can still be seen, and is be-
Ing conducted as d pleasure resort
at the present time although il has
lost much OF its old granduer.
Meyers can only rank as a second
10 the ConsJock miner but the big
SeSt difference between the two is
The TACT that while both made their
fortunes from the lodges in the State
OF Nevada, Bowers thought enough
OF the state that made him wealthy
TO erect his mansion here, While the
former goes into another state to
Dulld his home and locate his family.
