Week Briefly Told.
NEW MINE DISTRICT.
stuekey Creek Country Above Ana,
eonda Expected to Make
Good.

Helena.-A new mineral district has
been discovered at the head of Stuck
ey's creek above Anaconda. and those
who are operating there are confident
II will develop into a good producing
section. Two encouraging strikes
were made the present week. one by
Henry Benson, who owns three claims
called the Lucky Strike, North Star
and Great Western. Two small veins
of highly mineralized character has
been found on these claims. and an as
say shows values of $27O in gold to
the ton. The veins have been followed
a short distance and appear to be wild
ening.
Another strike which is also consid-
cred important was made this week
by Charles Lundbeck and Charles Ju-
lin Of Anaconda. Their strike con
sists OF six-foot lead of copper ore.
None Of II has been assayed, but en-
ough work has been done to demon
strate that there is a large body Of
1t, and it has the appearance of assay
ing heavy. The scene of the new
strikes is seven miles west of Ana
conda and east of the Georgetown dis
trict.
An interesting monthly report has
been made concerning the operation
OF the East Butte properties in Butte
during October. The report shows
that the output of the East Butte smel-
ter was between 100000 and l,4OO.-
900 pounds Of copper, which exceeds
any other months output in the his
tory of the company. The average net
earnings recently have been more than
100000 monthly On Dec. 1 the COM
pany will pay $l,625, 900 of notes from
cash in the treasury and issue new
notes. More than half the notes will
probably be retired, thus reducing the
company's outstanding obliga tions
from sl.625,O00 to less than $50 900.
One hundred and ten thousand shares
OF stock are to be delivered in Decem.
Der to Pittsburgh men as part payment
for the Pittsmont property. but they
