MAzUMA HILLS WORK

The Mazuma Hills leasing COM
nany, operating the Reagan lease on
the Mazuma Hills property, sent out
a shipment of ore this week which
is not only the first shipment to go
out from any lease but Is the record
shipment of the district in gross
value. II is the first shipment of ore
from the Mazuma Hills property, fol-
|, wing within a week the latest high
grade shipment from the company
workings and the recently declared
Ioicy of the company henceforth to
ship regularly, says the Seven
Troughs Miner.
The present shipment consists of
Is tons of ore running up to more
taan $4,000 per ton and averaging
according to a long assay record, bet
Ter than 81 900 ton. The shipment
included 100 sacks of selected high
grade, the general average value of
which is sensationally high. This
latter consignment. which Immediate
ly followed the main shipment, con-
slsts largely of specimen ore, some of
vi ich will run better than IS per
bound. The entire shipment is be-
ffNeu 10 represent the sTedltSt value
in ore yet sent out of the district.
This consignment of high grade Is
the product of about two months
work on the rich ore shoot uncovered
from the Reagan incline shaft at ap-
| ruximately the 100 foot level. and is
incidental mainly to the development
and preparations of the lease for fu-
ture production.
Ever since Mr.. Reagan struck the
ore few men have been taking 1t
cat. while the drift has been pushed
south to connect with the working
shaft about 200 feet distant and
Il rthward TO determine the extent of
the ore shoot in that direction. Nei-
then of these objects has yet been at
tanned, but, incidentally, one of the
richest and most productive ore
shoots in the district has been dis
closed, the extent of which is yet I'M
own, the outlying ground not hay-
ing been reached.

dividend to Amalgamated three
months hence. Ii should be remem-
bered that Amalgamated has a dis
tinct advantage over all the other
copper properties in Montana. The
others are now idle, or practically SO,
and Amalgamated is running its Bos-
ton & Montana mines and smelter to
tneir full capacity. 1t is producing
At the rate of 90,000.000 to $4,000
0l0 pounds of copper annually at a
cost of s to sig cents per pound.
This means net earnings of fully $4,
.7s0, 900. or better than SO per share
on Amalgamated stock. With its
earnings from other sources, and the
interest on its very large treasury
surplus, Amalgamated can well af-
ford To pay quarterly dividends of
81. or S per cent on the current sell
iag price of its stock. In my opinion,
Amalgamated $ next dividend will be
an increase. The worst of the COM
panys troubles are behind it. There
is every possibility for improvement.
md seemingly no chance that the
situation will be any worse. Anal
gamated has had a. comparatively
smaller advance from its lowest price
than most other coppers, and | now
consider II one of the most attractive
investment and speculative purchases
on the list.
Amalgamated is much better
stock to buy and hold than North
Butte or Anaconda. | think it safe
practice at all times to figure it worth
- shares of North Butte, shares
of Anaconda, or 3 y shares of Butte
Coalition. When these stocks are
selling above this ratio they should
be sold and the proceeds invested in
Amalgamated. There is a much lar
ger short interest in Amalgamated
than in any of the others, and this
will help in tie coming advance

HAMILTON.
General interest Is conferred in
Hamilton, where big strides are ex-
pected during the year. The old
camp has had new life infused in the
last several months and certainly
holds forth bright promises. Severe
winter weather has prevailed since
November and work has been much
retarded. With the coming of spring,
however things will go ahead with
much vim. rhe excellent promise

features the camp has

resumption of operation of a number

SPRUCE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT.
Activity in the Spruce Mountain
district, north of here, is marked, ac-
cording to Charles f. Hayden. who
will leave in a few days to resume
driving of a big tunnel which will
later serve as a drain for the entire
section. Dunn and Hamm, who are
working on the north side of the
mountain, have intersected a large
ard rich vein of ore 500 feet from the
surface and about $50 feet from the
mouth of their tunnel. Several ship
ents made from this property in
lie past have proved the ore to be
of good paying character, but at
present no shipments are being made,
the owners waiting to connect with
the Western Pacific line for shipment
to the smelters. Up to this time they
lave been forced to send their ore to
tie old Wells smelter. a distance of
30 miles. On account of the high
cost of transportation the greater
part of the profit has been lost. The
ore gives good returns in lead, copper
and gold Mr.. Hayden himself will
shortly resume operations on his
tunnel on the east side of the noun
tain which will. when completed, ex-
tend 5000 feet into the earth. At
present it is his expectation that the
runn and Hamm vein will be cut at
q distance of about 900 feet from
the mouth of his working. From his
tunnel to the Western Pacific tracks
is a distance of about II miles and
in his opinion he will afford an out
let for all of the workings in that
section. Plenty of wood and water
lend material aid to the development
of all properties in that section. In
this state this is an important item.
Work on the wagon road to the West
ern Pacific track will be started in
ihe immediate future. Other prop
critics in the district are preparing to
start work with vigor Immediately
-oon completion of this outlet for
their ores and Mr.. Hayden is en-
tnusiastic over the future of the dis
triet. believing that il is one of the
biggest in Nevada.
