SALTEsE CONSOLIDATED
1t and Black Traveller being Developed
by Long Tunnels

Saltese, Mont, Aug. 3 Especial
correspondence Two properties
north OF Saltese which are attracting
much local attention at present. are
the Saltese Consolidated and Black
Traveller. They are in the same ore
zone as the Tarbox but lie mile or
two east Of it. Both companies
have been financed recently and
will do large amount Of deep dew
elopment work this year. c. Fl.
Williams, formerly Of the Copper
King mine, is a big Stakeholder in
the former and says that . There
is no property in the Occur d. Alenes
which looks as well and promising
for the amount of work done"
The Black Traveller company is
now erecting fine log buildings pre-
paratory to driving a 1.2OO-foot
tunnel to crosscut the mother vein
of the district, the two upper tun-
nels having proved an iron capped
ledge that in the lower one shows
four feet of good grade chalcopyrite
ore.
The Saltese Consolidated cut the
same ledge in its lower tunnel when
in $50 feet and is now driving ahead
to cut the mother vein. The tunnel
is now in $50 feet and has to be
driven about 45O" feet further to
reach its objective. A very heavy
flow OF water was recently encount-
cred but this is now moderating.

changes encourage them In ever,
possible way and afford them ever,
facility, glad in fact to get theil
business, but it remains for Butte
which would naturally be the great
est beneficiary in an exchange OF
business, on account Of its proximity
to build little fence around Its
sacred precincts and shut out LIS
most profitable trader by an asinine
rule that no other exchange in the
country enforces.
The discrimination we are practic-
ing against the Occur dAlene stocks,
is not the only place where our ride
ulous rule hurts. At the present
time. excluding Occur dAlene stocks
which We are able to trade in by
having the certificates on hand. we
do not believe che Butte exchange
trades in 5000 shares a week. Any
broker with an ounce of grey mat
ter ought to be able to realize the
absurdity of attempting to do bust
ness on such limited scale. SpO-
kane or Wallace, with five-days' de-
livery to facilitate the exchange of
business. trades in that much and
more stock every day. and Ii 1t was
not for the limited Occur d'Alene
trading we are able to indulge in by
having the certificates on hand, we
should all have to shut up shop.
AS an example of the hardship this
rule works on local brokers. yester-
day we received /. wire from Denver
to sell 1000 shares Of local stock
at the market. We were compelled to
decline the business by the Butte ex-
change. Last week we were COM
PEELED to decline business from Chi
cago. and yet we can sell on either
of these exchanges without being
limited MS to time in which stock is
to be shipped.
The same rule applies to selling
nm the New York and Boston curbs,
but when 1t comes to selling Butte
stocks on the local exchange. which
are held in the east, we are up
against it, One argument against the
fiye-days clause is that it encourages
"shorting.' Suppose, for the sake OF
argument that 1t does. Every broker
Is responsible for his trades, and II
he does not make good he has got
to take his medicine and quit. And
we would like to inquire right here
II it isn't just as legitimate to sell
a stock for decline as to buy one
for raise. We are in favor of ex-
tending every latitude to Occur
d'Alene stocks, and firmly believe
that II the five-days delivery was
adopted the Butte exchange would
double its business and then some.

Work was this week commenced

Gust Smith, the locator OF the prop

work preparatory to starting new
drift on the property.
The property is now under bond
to W. B. Fisher, the general super
intendent of the Feleral company,
and 1t Is supposed thGt he is handling
the property for that company. 1t is
now the intention of the management
to commence the new tunnel some
time this month. This tunnel will
give them depth Of about two thou
sand feet on the ledge or ore. The
tunnel will be started ON the ledge
and will drift on it the entire dis
lance driven.
The Big Iron is in the st. Joe cop
per belt and is itself copper prop
erty. Speaking of the work already
done on the property Mr. Smith said
that there are two tunnels driven on
the ledge. Both are, however, much
higher on the ledge than the proposed
tunnel. The upper tunnel is now III
distance of two hundred feet and
the lower one hundred feet. This
work was all done by Mr.. Smith as

from about seven to forty feet. M.
