BIG VEIN AT RED BUTTE.
Showing of Copper Astounds San
Francisco Engineer.

Red Butte, New. Aug. 22.-ReCent deVei-
opment on a group of claims north of this
camp has exposed a remarkable body of
copper pyrite ore. A noted engineer who
came direct from san Francisco to exam
inc it declared it to be the finest surface
showing he had ever seen. Perhaps lie
NAV well say that when one considers
that il is exposed in its width for fifty
feet without having encountered any
walls OF the first twenty-eight feet of
prosecuting not a portion of the matrice
will run less than two and One-half per
cent, while a great deal Of it will aver
age seven and eight per cent and large
blocks will assay up TO twelve.
The balance of the width of the vein
thus far uncovered shows also a clean
pyrite The ore occurs in a soft fine
grained pOrphyry, free from any other
base ore, making it thus an absolutely
clean concentrating proposition. NumeT-
Gus small open cuts have been made
along the strike of the vein for a dis
lance of three thousand feet, and in each
can be seen the same clean pyrite ore.
Another important strike was made on the
surface of the Metallic Copper group.
The ore is a copper sulphide and copper
glance The vein is wide and the ore is
opened up on the surface for several
hundred feet along the strike.
The RedeemeT is generously adding to
its pile of milling ore. This group lies in

lew The water level there can be no doubt,
says the Eureka Reporter. The big mine
IS now being worked most successfully
DOWN to a depth of 1900 feet. 1t was
while sinking the shaft below that point
that water was encountered, although the
fIoW was not heavy enough TO give much
trouble until a drift was pushed out from
the z,z0G level; then the flow increased to
such an extent that Superintendent Brown
decided that it would be best to discon-
bnue work there until the company could
install some kind of a pumping plant Tor
handling the water.
II IS now understood that a powerful
pumping plant with a capacity of not less
than LOCO gallons a minute, has been or
dered and this can mean put one thing;
that rhe officials of the COmpan- are anX-
iCus to follow cut the plan outlined by
Manager Allen ana Superintend ent jiruwn,
