GAY G. sTCReis GOSSIP.

Boston, Mass.-The secretary of the
North Butte Mining company, in
answer to stockholders inquiries
concerning property conditions says:
II is true. that on the 1000 and 2.200-
foot levels of the two principal veins
of our mines the very rich ore values
such as encountered on the LOGO and
1,SO0-foot levels were not developed,
but commercial ore of q good grade
was shown and large Slopes opened
up, which ensure the continuance of
the mines. The cost of manufacturing
copper from this lower grade ore is
increased. This increased cost of pro-
duction, together with the low priced
and unsettled condition of the copper
metal market during the past year
necessarily has reduced the earning
capacity and probably will cause a
reduction i'm the dividend rate unless
the price of copper advances. The lat
est advices from the mines show that
a much better grade of ore is now
being found The company has main
tanned a good production and at n pro-
TIT. IL has carried on development
work and is now under way toward
the sinking of second shaft. There
is under consideration a new smelling
contract which will be upon much
more favorable termsypthan the one
now i'm service. The cash surplus of
the company is not large at present.
as IL has never been the policy to
accumulate a large surplus but To dis
tribute it to the stockholders as earn
ed. There are no debts except for cur
rent operations. We trust this in
formation will satisfy and reassure you
that the North Butte mines are not as
represented by the rumors now
afloat"
