He hs a number of Samples of the ore which carries 2o per cent copper. He savs th district looks just as Butte did thirtv-five years ago. and the character char-acter of th sulphide and peacock ore is very much like that found in the MicHan cooper mines. John O'Meara of thi citv is interested with him. He has a force of men working and expects ex-pects bv next June to make a fines showing "on the property when he will visit it again and take some people with him to see it. "I wish I couid induce people who are sinking money on the porphyry dyke in the southern part of Butte to nut their money in this property. I believe the greatest corner mines ever known will be developed de-veloped in that country." The min- feature of the mining industry- in Butte thU week is the fact that, all of the bis producers of the Anaconda, and Boston & Montana com-r-anies have suspended operations tem-pr.rq,. tem-pr.rq,.

At best the shut-down will onlv he temporary. At the Anaconda works it is said the shut-down was the result of a break In a main shaft in one of the concentrators, due to the settling of the foundation. It is asserted that the damage will be repaired in a very ! short time and that work will be re-j re-j sumed very soon. At Great Falls it is announced the Boston & Montana j smelters closed down in order to clean up and make repairs. The shutting down of these properties proper-ties has been the cause of crowding the streets, and it seems as though i nearly all the miners who have been j laid off were yesterday in the four pool j rooms trying their luck with the horse I races. i The Clark and Heinze properties are . still working lull blast and turning out j copper every day. , j ANACONDA.
