SAYS BARNES
KING IS GOOD
w. w. Cheely Of Butte Makes In
spection of Property and Is Wei!
Satisfied.

W. W. Cheely returned yesterday
from weeks sojourn at the proper
ty OF the Barnes King company in
Fergus county, says the Anaconda
Standard, and brought a good report
of doings there. He says the ore
bodies OF the company are wonderful
and 1t IS not necessary for one to go
underground to see them. An open
cut several hundred feet long exposes
one OF the big veins on the surface.
This ore is scooped up with huge
shovels and run into the mill. 1t
averages about So a ton, but in other
parts of the immense vein, especially
i'll the workings beneath the surface,
there IS lot of ore that runs from
So to $50 ton.
Mr.. Cheely says the big vein is
flanked by limestone on the
mountain side and evrything outside
of the lime for distance of many
hundred feet is ore. The company
is preparing to diamond drill the lime
with view of ascertaining if there
are values in the interior. The lime
near the vein carries values, some of
which are good.
There is report current to the eff
feet that the Barnes-King, Kendall
and North Moccasin companies will
consolidate and operate under one
head. with the Barnes King as the
head, but Mr.. Cheely would neither
deny nor confirm it. That steps in
the direction of bringing about this
were taken several
weeks ago and are still in progress is
well known both in Butte and in
New York. Last week several en-
gineers representing the various in
terests visited the properties and
made careful examination of them.
Pending the determination of the
movement not much work will be
lone on the new mill of the Barnes
King company, for if the deal is con-
'umated a much larger plant will un
ioubtedly be erected to handle the
tonnage that can be obtain
ed from the various mines.
