Good Showing by Little
Butte.
SMALL MILL GETS RESULTS
Now Opening Rich Shoot OF
Ore.

Inc rondrKdUle SuCCcoo clioc
has come. to Geo. Widmyer,
owner of the Little Butte mine,
situated on Deadwood mountain,
only shows what can be done In
this district, when a man has
faith in his property.
About a year ago Mr.. Wild
myer erected a small one-stamp
mill, with the Intention of MAX
ing the mine pay for its develop
ment. In this he has been more
than successful, for he has sue
ceeded in demonstrating that a
little money can also be made,
even though the capacity of the
mill is very small.
Mr.. Widmyer has been rum
ming the mill steadily this season
and has now shut down for a
short time to attend to the de-
velopment of a very rich body Of
ore that has been opened IN the
mine.
The Little Butte mine IS de-
veroped by din adit that is in
about 1000 it., and which cuts
two ore shoots, that are very
different in character, although
both carry good values. The
present work under way is the
sinking of winze, about $50 TT.
from the portal of the tunnel.
At this point. a rich shoot, OF ore
was encountered, and all above
the tunnel level has been stopped.
Several tons of this ore was
Sorted and shipped to the smelter
where good returns were receiv-
ed. This ore continued down
and it is now proposed to open
up another stope below the tun-
mel level.
During the running of the mill
Mr.. Widmyer attends to all the
work himself, and thereby gains
all the profits there is in the ore,
but in doing development he has
one miner helping
The mill is built at she mouth
of the tunnel, and the ore is
dumped into a receiving bin as
it is taken out of the mine, and
is only handled once.
The ore that is now being de-
veloped is very free, and the
concentrate made is very light,
but of a high grade. The first
class ore plates in the neighbor-
hood of $50 to the ton and the
second-class about $40. The
vein is about 5 ft. wide, and the
rich pay streak is IA inches wide.
