The discovery was made while running a drain tunnel from the shaft, and the vein grows richer with every foot of development. About a mile east of the old Butte copper district dis-trict several great strikes of copper have been made cn what is believed to be extensions of the big veins of Butte. The new veins are rich in native na-tive copper and are claimed to be as extensive and richer than the ore bodies of any of the old mines of the I Anaconda or Boston & Montana com-i com-i panies. Great excitement has been occasioned oc-casioned among claim owners and miners min-ers in that section of the district. ANACONDA.
