MASON VALLEY COPPER
STRIKES LARGE ORE BODY

The recent strike in the Mason Valley
Copper company's shaft is increasing in
magnitude. 1t now begins to look as
though the Mason Valley is really one
of the biggest propositions in this great
district. The ore body so far as known
is over 20 feet in width. and as yet but
one wall has been located. The ore
averages well as a whole. while a goodly
portion of the vein Is shipping stun.
The finding of this wonderful rich
shoot came to the operators in the ma
ture Of a clear-cut surprise. 1t shows
again the uncertainty of mining. y
For some time operations on the Ma
son Valley nave consisted of driving a
tunnel. When the bore had reached a
distance in the hill of something over
400 feet the air became foul. making
ii next to impossible for the miners to
accomplish results. A winze had been
sunk from an upper tunnel level. In
order to improve conditions in the
lower unnel a turn was made, it being
proposed to connect the latter with the
winze to form an air connection. In
making the turn. the ore shoot was en-

is to have a stamp mill for the treat
ment of the ores from it's property. This
announcement was officially made yes

man. who was in camp for a few hours
inspecting his mining interests.
When interviewed regarding the mat
ter of erecting the new plant, Mr..
Friedman stated that all preliminary ar
engagements had been made. that a
strong treasury had been provided and
tina actual construction work would be
commenced in a very short time. Ma

countered which shows up SO remark
ably strong.
Not enough work has been done on
this latest find to determine the exact
extent of the shoot. However, at this
time it has been proven to be one of the
biggest things in the entire district.
: In addition to sinking a winze on the
ore body, the tunnel Is being driven
ahead to tap the ore body for the en-
countering of which the tunnel was
started. This tunnel will strike the lead
at a depth of over 200 feet p~erpendicu-
larly and over 800 feet on it's dip. As
soon as this ledge is broken into new
sensations may be looked for.
Captain Tibbits Of Salt Lake City,
who is heavily interested in the a
Valley, inspected the property this week.
To a Times representative he stated
that 1t is one of the best mines he has
ever seen.
Thus another sterling property has
been added to the list of high graders.
The find has stimulated activity in the
neighborhood which canno fail to re-
sult in the opening up of other estates
to the attention of the world.-Yering-

but the management expects to have it
completed and ready by the time the
machinery arrives.
The mill is to be equipped with ten
stamps at first. but sufficient power and
other necessary appliances will be in
stalled so that other units can be added
when it is found necessary. The ma
chinery will be Of the latest pattern,
and when the mill is completed 1t will
be modern and up-to-date in every re-
spect.
In addition to treating the vast tom
mage of ore now blocked out in the Kin
dergarten mine, the management an
ounce it's intention of buying ores
which will be treated at the mill. This
will be a boon to the leasers owing to
the fact that they will have a market
right at their properties, which will do
away with the long haul to other mills.
Mr.. Friedman, in concluding, stated
that the mill would be completed and
ready for the treatment Of the ores by
the first day of January.

Orders have been issued In Butte.
Mont, for a reduction of the copper
output Of the district by about so per
cent. The mines have not been shut
down but a large number of miners have
been laid OF and the curtailment of the
output will continue until the surplus
copper has been consumes and the metal
market improves. The properties af-
fected are the ~Amalgamated Copper
company. the North Butte Mining COM
pany. the Coalition Copper company and
the Pittsburg and Montana company.
The normal output OF h Amalgamated
mines has been about 10000. 900 pounds
but for September the production will
be less than 5000, 900 pounds. The pro-
duction of the Butte district normally is
about 2 5000. 600 pounds but the present
production is at the rate Of $4,000. 600
