BUTTE HOST
TO MINERS On
JULY 1918

Not TO be outdone by the Great
Faue Chamber of Commerce, the
Rutte Chamber Of Commerce is spon-
soring the coming meeting OF the
Mining Association Of Montana, to be
held in Butte on July 17-lS. Great
Falls sponsored the last annual con-
vention.
The Butte meeting will be the lar-g
est in point of attendance IN the
history of the association, accord
ing to F. c. Gilbert, secretary.
Mining men from all parts OF Mon
tana will attend, although the major
participation will be among miners
in the immediate vicinity of Butte.
Details have not yet been worked
out. but there will be a national
speaker who will talk on Future
of Gold and Silver" according to
President C. J. Trauerman.
The meeting will be devoted to
the problems of small operators
and there will be a machinery ex-
hibition in connection. A smoker
at the Silxer Bow club will be one
Of the entertainment features for
the hardrock miners who will also
have a chance to enjoy a dinner
dance at Meaderville on the closing
day.
Some idea of the growth Of the
mining industry and the number Of
people engaged in mining is given
by figures recently announced by
J. d. Mackenzie of the American
Smelling & Refining company East
Helena plant;
There were 4S6 shippers to the
East Helena plant during 1885. OF
the above, 400 shipped less than a
total of so tons during the year,
accounting for approximately 10 per
cent of the total tonnage purchased,
This is taken as indicative of the
large number of mining operations
that are just getting under way and
which may greatly swell the figures
for the present and succeeding years.
The metal purchases for the East
Helena smelter reflect the increase
in mining operations since the time
of their inception of the Montana

Twenty dollar gold pieces hang

leases of the famous Shannon
mine in Marysville district. The
property was leased from the Barn

a carload every three days. They
have had the mine only a short
time and have already shipped nine
cars, the proceeds of which are said
to have netted the owners around

The Shannon yielded ore that

This is the fourth or fifth attempt
to mine the gulch with modern

It as systematically as has the
