The Story of Butte & Superior.

"Romances Of Great Mines" is the
title of a series of articles running In
the Copper Curb and Mining Outlook
OF New York. A recent issue gives he
story Of the Butte & Superior 1t is
fascinating story. and a local touch
is given 1t by the fact that in the
great suit that has just been tried in
Butte, In which the Elm Orlu under
took to establish that II has the apex
to the Black Rock vein, containing
one of the great ore bodies OF the
Butte & Superior, John p. Gray, for
merly of this city and who still main
tains an Office here, was the leading
attorney for the Elm orlu, owned by
was M. A. Folsom of Spokane. The
story of Butte & Superior is here re-
produced:
Romance! Did you say? The less
than l0-years' history of the Butte &
Superior Copper company fairly reeks
and drips and ooZes at every pore
with romance which puts the stuff
found in the best sellers" and that
out OF which dreams are made entire
ly out of the running, Next month It
will be just years since the Butte &
Superior Copper Company. Limited,
was organized under the laws Of Arl-
zona, with Capt A. B. Wolvin, an old
time steamer captain Of the great
lakes at the helm. In these now clos
ing 9 years have gone more stormy
and strenuous history than has been
allotted to any mining corporation
since the days of Butte & Superior's
late defunct neighbor. Amalgamated,
Butte & Superior is one of the great
est romances of commerce The rec
ord of the mines would make a fitting
narrative for Scheherazade or Baron
and reaction, high lights and deep,
sharp shadows. Some epochs and ep-
lsodes In this wonderful world beating
career have really Utopian and
n picture taken from the material in
dustrial realm and hung in the halls
of the fabulous, the legendary and
the mythical Its achievements look
like the coinage Of a great creative
poet or dramatist. 1t is the unreal
like the flying Dutchman, the great
sea serpent, the man in the moon, the
castle In the air, the happy valley
reduced to a recent and vital reality.
More than the poet whose eyes in
fine frenzy rolling, looks from earth
to heaven and from heaven to earth,
of whom Big Bill Shakespeare tells us,

Parenthetically and incidentally II
should be mentioned that there are ex-
perts who believe Butte & Superior at
great depth will turn into one Of the
largest copper mines in Butte. George
l.. Walker the Boston copper expert
and writer, who has visited the prop
erty says: There is no doubt IN my
mind that copper ores underlie this
big zinc deposit, even as some of the
old silver mines have given way TO
copper at depth"
Butte & Superior, like Calumet Il
Hecla and score Of other mines ,.nce
saw the day when It's shares went beg,
ging and would hardly be considered
by many so-called shrewd people as a
gracious gift. Organized in 1906, ban
ner year for copper, 1t had hardly got
started off on the long disappointing
quest for the red metal when that
fateful panic came eight years ago,
come october, precipitated by Messrs.
Helnze and Morse. A year later Butte
q Superior was in hot water, discred-
tied, scandalized, the stock selling at
very low figures. There was nobody
in Duluth, where the stock was prln-
.cipally traded in, who was quite poor
enough to do 1t reverence or pay it
any particular kind Of respect 1t be-
longed to that feline, canine and gar
den variety which elected but little at
tention outside of Kisses, bootjacks and
brickbats. The writer has before him
as he dictates this romantic story of
clouds and sunshine, disappointments
and brilliant successes, news dis
patch from Butte. which was sent out
in the early part of September years
ago, telling about a rich and promin-
ent investor Of Duluth who imagined
he had been buncoed in buying the
stock for "a a share and was out for
satisfaction, having never a thought
that he might be in line to be kicked
upstairs. Here is the dispatch, and ii

Before setting forth more on Butte

a few more things to say about the
Butte district itself 1t bears the title
of THE Greatest Mining Camp on
Earth" 1t produces 100000, 900 pounds
of copper annually. Around 10000, 900
fine ounces OF silver and $1,5OO,0OO IN
gold are produced
It's history dates from 1868, when
gold mining was begun. This was
followed by silver mining in the fol.
lowing year, and copper was first dis
covered by crosscutting at depth from
the shafts of the silver mines. The in
ereasing percentage Of copper in sew
eral of the silver mines in the western
part Of the camp led to the first cop

correctly, that there was enough sill
yer to be mined to pay the expense OF
hunting for copper. There was tre-
mendous stake to win IL copper were
found in the big vein. Thanks to the
silver. there was little or nothing to
lose in case of failure to find copper
so the Butte g. Superior Copper
Company, Limited, was organized In
1906. Down bored the captains min
ers. developing the property from the
500 and 700-foot limits of Senator
Clark's mine to a depth of 1900 feet.
But still no copper hove in sight. In
stead the silver vein grew zincier and
still richer In zinc. All of a sudden
the true light dawned on the captain
to ii with the "copper" said he,
and proceeded to make a zinc mine
out of his disappointed copper hope
However, the metallurgical and finan-
Captain Wolvin, unaided, and about
1911 the present controlling interests
were asked to help. Sufficient money
was put up and a satisfactory metal
lurgical process evolved, and in less
than two years the old Black Rock
silver mine OF Senator Clark was met
amorphosed from Capt. wolvin's dis
appointed hope of a copper mine into
the worlds biggest zinc producer. And
the paradoxical name, Butte & Super
Tor Copper Company, Limited, is still
retained for this, one of the most sue
cessful failures and disappointed
hopes of modern mining history"
Capt. Wolvin told me he early dis
covered the possibilities of Butte &
Superior as zinc producer and was
impressed with the future of the mine
along those lines. But in the begin
ming the Butte zincky ores were re-
fractory and the problem was to re-
cover the values commercially. Then
along came the Minerals Separation
people with their oil flotation process,
which Capt. Wolvin was perhaps the
first person In the United States to
deal with 1t on an extended plan. This
process he found adaptable to Butte e.
Superior ores, but at that time the
London interests owning the process
had sent over a mining engineer with
put plenary authority, who was exor-
bltant and uncompromising in his de-
nands on the company. This led to
difference of opinion be- |
tween the Butte & Superior and Min
erals Separation interests, which DIFF |
ference widened out into crop OF
awsuits. Capt. Wolvin bears the dual
of having been the pioneer
n zinc mining and copper teaching in
Butte. These facts should be noted +

Reference has been made to the

this: The ore is agitated in tanks
with mixture of red oil in such a
way that the sulphide particles are
covered with a thin, oily film. Heat is
produced and a certain proportion of
