level.
A three-foot vein of rich zinc ore
has been cut on the lower level of |
tee Golden Eagle property of Spring |
gulch, near Carter, Montana.
A strike of free-milling gold ore
has been made in the J. f. group, |
about five miles south of Orogranie |
Idaho. 1t is reported that the strike
was made in a tunnel which has
been run about 300 feet, cutting the !
ledge at $50 feet depth.
There is still a great profit in the
production Of copper, declares f. Au- |
gustus Heinze, who has been one OF
the most conspicuous figures in the
copper trade for many years. Heinze
says that he believes copper will not
go below IA cents a pound, probably
not below 14h at the lowest, and
that the surplus metal on hand can
be worked Off easily at the present
low prices.
The old Mayhower property near
Wallace will be reopened at once
after shutdown of several months
The ledge in the property is ex
posed at the 900 foot level and a drift
win be run to cut the ore shoot
The Spokane Stock Brokers asso-
citation resumed the calls Monday
and will hold one call day at 10
o'clock in the morning
The mill on the Kendall mine in
central Montana will probably be
enlarged so that it will treat $50 tons
of ore a day. instead of only 500, the
present capacity. The enlargement
will be necessary on account Of the
fact that all North Moccasin ores
will be treated at the Kendall plant
A further reduction in the price OF
copper was made Saturday by the
United Metals Selling company and
Phelps, Dodge & Co. The reduction
was to Is IA cents for 30 days de
livery. which is the equivalent of a
rate of Is cents fat This was for
e electrolytic copper.
1t is announced that the reduc-
ton in the output OF copper in the
= Butte district was 60 per cent in
stead OF SO per cent, which was the
original intention. If conditions did
j lot improve a further reduction
would be made.
The Little Rockies Exploration
b company, which recently took over a
[ group of claims in the Zortman dis
trict, Chouteau county, Mont, has
made a splendid strike in its Ala
J. bGma mine The ore, of a cyaniding
S character, runs from $40 to $50 q
= ton.
