Show APEX RIGHTS WILL SOONMLED Butte unci Balakl'iva Docs Some Work Which May Help in Suit. Western shareholders of the Butte ,fc Ualuklava company who ar watching thr course of the litigation that threatens the welfaru of the organisation will bo interested in-terested In tho following Duluth statement state-ment which, apparently, comes from Inside In-side circles: Intense satisfaction is felt by the officers of-ficers of the Butte Balaklava company in the success of tho legal work that has been done underground In preparation for defense against Iho claims of the Anaconda Ana-conda company. An effort will be made to make the character and result of the work clear. It is taken for granted that readers of mining news are quite. i:en-erally i:en-erally Informed on the apex laws of Montana. Mon-tana. The satisfaction that Is felt by the Balaklava pcoplo will bo understood 1f the reader can be made, to understand the conditions ao they exist, today on the eve of the suit. To begin with, the Anaconda company laid claim to a very valuable coppor ore vein in the Balaklava ground, and which outcrops or apexes within the Balaklava property. Tho Anaconda people declared that the vein in the Balaklava was the Mountain Chief vein, which outcrops on Anaconda territory. To prove Its contention conten-tion the Anaconda people drifted from their Mountain Chief on the 500 level to the 700 level on the Butte Balaklava, and encountered nothing excopt granite between its Mountain Chief and the disputed dis-puted Balaklava vein. ' Tho Butte Balaklava people then drifted from their disputed vein, starting at the 700 level, to tho Mountain Chief vein and then raised on tho vein to tho 500 level, at which latter point the Anaconda people had begun their working to reach the Balaklava vein. It wa3 tho result of the raise In the Mountain Chief vein which has filled tho Balaklava poople with such great confidence. Straight up. between well-defined walln all tho way from the 700 to the 500 level tho working was carried, car-ried, without discovering anything upon which the plaintiff company can by any possible chance conncot tho Mountain Chief with tho Balaklava vein. That, briefly. Is the story and here Ik what Dr. Walter Harvey Weed, consulting engineer engi-neer for tho Butte-Balalclava company says In a letter to Secretary John A. Porclval In a lotter Just received from him at Butto: " havo been through the Balaklava nnd am more than pleased at the success suc-cess In following tho vein (Mountain Chief in Anaconda ground) upward from tho 7jOO love). The last fifteen or twenty feet of the raise have been in high-grade ore. whose mineral character la llko that of the Mountain Chief and Is unlike that of the Balaklava stopes." Boston Mining Stocks.
