NORTH BUTTE MAKES
IMPORTANT STRIKES
High Grade Ore and Plenty of
1t at Several New
Locations.

Among the recent interesting disclosures
In the Butte district none has attracted
more attention than those on the North
Butte property. and in regard TO this ter
ritory Thompson, Towle e Co. have the
following to say;
Tho new ore body. which was encoun-
tered on the 2i0O-foot level OF the Adiron-
dack vein. Is developing very well and at
last accounts had been drifted upon for
something over thirty feet. In this dis
tance the ore is said to have been equally
as high grade as that disclosed in the
crosscut, While the vein where inter-
sected shows a width OF % feet, averaging
per cent copper, We understand that por"
tions OF this lode are OF very much higher
grade and will average from Il per cent 20
Is per cent, the per cent average being
that applied TO the whole width OF the
lode.
has Just taken place at the North Butte
property Is the encountering OF this lode
on the 2200-foot level above. SampllnG
Of the ore here shows an averaseof l6s
per cent copper over a good width. Full
particulars on this nave not yet been re-
ceived but the indications are that an
important body OF ore will be located at
this level. This. taken In connection with
the opening OF ere on the 2d0O, would In
dicate that this new ore body Is being
developed upwards as well as In It's down
ward course.
Another strike at the North Butte prop
erty of which we have just been advised
Is that the Edith May vein has been cut
on the oS00-foot level and that the ore is
rich and up to e1pecta tions.
The recent favorable developments on
the Adirondack and the Edith May veins
may be regarded as the most important
which have taken place at the property In
several years and should they continue
favorable the result will be OF the Srent =

Drills Get Results.

The drilling Of the ground however.
with churn drills showed very clearly that
this projected tunnel would be by far
the best way TO quickly and cheaply

work on this tunnel commenced about
the middle OF June last and the fore
breast Is today 357 feet from the portal
and headed directly toward drill hole No.

tunnel strikes every one here as being an
ideal one, 1t is quite close to the main
line OF the Nevada Northern railway and
Just thirty feet above 1t. affording every
facility for the cheap handling OF ore

the miners union has not yet had an
opportunity to meet with the owners OF
the Tlntic properties for, the purpose Of
discussing and readjusting the wage
scale. The committee has been ap
pointed for over week and the delay

district. and while a few Of the outside
properties have exposed pay ore these are
Tor the most part in the DEVELOPMENT
stage and, like the Merger, Silver Pick
and others. are not seeking small seams
and pockets OF ore near the surface. but
are conducting their operations IN n ma n
ner calculated to produce substantial re-
suits and open ore at depth.
The Lone Star Consolidated has pene-
trated formation on the 320-foot level
that has the appea rance Of ore and while
IT yields only small assays, Il Is OF
character that Is closely associated with
the best ore bodies OF the district and is
accepted by mineralogists as Indicative
OF the close proximity To ore. The Lone
Star is now regarded as tho most prom
ising prospect in the entire district at
present and the stock IS a popular one
locally.
Manager Healy OF the Lone Star, who
was In charge OF the Mohawk mine dur
ing the bonanza leasing days, rarely ex-
h!blts any enthusiasm over mine devel
opments, but he now regards this as by
far the best undeveloped ground In the
Goidfield district and the results thus far
attained as most satisfactory. The mine
is now equipped with machine drills and
drifts are being driven to the northwest
foot level. When these have been extend
