Page overview

An interior page (p.6) of The Anaconda Standard for 23 July 1890, mixing local mining news, a major mine-death recovery story, financial tables, legal notices, and substantial display advertising. The left two columns are dominated by mining and prospects reporting, stock-exchange tables, and bond quotations. The centre columns carry the Murphy-and-Kelleher sump-recovery story alongside court and jury notices. The right half of the page is given over almost entirely to large display advertising for Estes & Connell Mercantile Company and the Tuttle Manufacturing and Supply Co., making the page a characteristic blend of Gilded Age western newspaper commerce and industrial-era hard news.

6 THE ANACONDA STANDARD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1890. ## Column 1 # MINES AND PROSPECTS ## Reports of Rich Strikes, New Prospects and General Mining News. ### The Tin Cup Strike Improving—The Contact Line Embracing the Gold Vein is Four Miles Long. TIN CUP, Colo., July 22.—It is asserted by reasonable men here who have explored Cross mountain that the contact line embracing the gold vein is fully four miles long. It will take much work and time to prove up the gold streak, even should it be continuous for this great distance. No doubt many are dazed, and many are incredulous of the sum requiring in many figures to express the possible value of the body of gold lying in so circumscribed an area. However, while you approximately estimate the amount of gold in one claim of 1,500 feet to be $187,000,000, provided the ore in sight now continues of its present quality for a depth of 1,000 feet, it has been endorsed by the St. Louis *Republic* as a conservative estimate. To calculate the amount of gold in a four-mile stretch of such a contact to an equal depth, the sum is simply in round numbers, $2,711,500,000. This astounding calculation may seem like a play with figures, but there underlies a motive of reasonableness, backed by some scientific data. First—This is a contact vein. A contact vein is a mineral plane between two stratas of rock. Stratas of rock in mountain ranges elevated 10,000 feet have a plane from their highest peak to the lowest depths of solidity. The stratas of rock on Cross mountain have a stretch of fractured edges of four miles. The series of the stratas on Cross mountain are granite, quartzite, dolomite, calcite, shale and porphyry. The best mineral in this district has always been found in lime capped by porphyry. The lime on Cross mountain is capped by porphyry. Shale plays an important part in the search for minerals in contact veins, almost always lying above the ore body. Shale lies above the ore body on Cross mountain. Iron quartz, manganese, and almost pure iron ore, would separately be considered a vein worth following, if two feet thick and lying between two limes. The veins between two limes on Cross mountain is ten feet thick, made up of iron ore, iron quartz, manganese and a strip of gold quartz that a person can rattle gold from into his hand by a slight shaking, and displaying nests of gold imbedded in the rock. Cross mountain was named from a mammoth cross that rests on the northeast face of the mountain, near its peak. The cross is at least 500 feet in upright length and is visible throughout ten months of the year. The figure is very striking to a first-time observer and is caused by two strips of snow remaining in the form of a cross. ### A Miniature Mine. Among the special features of the Spokane exposition will be a complete mine in active operation. To those who are not initiated in the mysteries of the mining development, this innovation will be a novelty full of interest, while it will be instructive to those who are closely identified with mining. The exhibit will be the first public demonstration of the extent to which electricity can be utilized in the development and working of the mines. The basement of the exposition building will be transformed into a mine and the blasting of the basalt will be done by electricity. The pumping and draining will be done through the same agency, and the drilling will also be accomplished by electricity. The entire mine will be lighted by electric incandescent lights, and the mode of signaling used by miners will also be done by electric wires. In fact, the exhibit will mark the inauguration of the modern system of working a mine by the aid of electricity, and it will fully demonstrate the extensive use to which modern science may be practiced in that direction. Aside from the mere illustration of the usage of electricity in mining operations the display will demonstrate the enormous extent the water power can be utilized at great distance. ### Electric Ore Treatment. The immense value of a successful and economical method of treating ores, and the excellent promise given by magnetic separators in this country seems to have acted as an incentive to European inventors, and a patent for the electrical treatment of ore has just been taken out by Siemens & Halske of Berlin. After being pulverized the ore is poured into cylinders filled with a solution of sulphate of iron, which is kept in constant motion and subjected to steam heat. Copper cylinders, partly placed in mercury, are revolved in the well, an alkaline cyanide solution being in most cases added to the electrotyte, and a current is passed through the whole. The metal is deposited on these cylinders. After the operation the dissolved copper is recovered in the usual way. The process is said to be applicable to the treatment of copper and zinc ores and that of precious metals. The amount of wealth which is now lying idle on the surface of the earth in the shape of huge mounds of imperfectly worked ore, and which will soon be made available by means of electricity, is almost incredible.—*New York Sun.* ### The Combination. Sinking has been commenced on the new shaft again, and will doubtless be continued for 50 or 60 feet. They are now down over 130 feet. When the necessary depth has been attained they will run a drift and stope the ore out. The buildings of the company are being given a coat of paint, and everything is going on quite satisfactorily. A few men have been put to work on the Tim Smith claim, which the company bonded some time ago, and upon which it is understood that they have recently raised the bond. They also contemplate, it is understood, doing some work on another one of their undeveloped properties.—*Philipsburg Mail.* ### A Butte Miner's Good Luck. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, July 22.—A wonderful strike is reported to have been made two days ago in the Berlin mine, on the Big Hole, this side of Melrose. A vein was found five feet wide, going 140 ounces. The mine has been worked four years, and is now owned by Fred Anderson of the Parrot corner. One of the Parrot experts has been examining the mine and reports very flatteringly. ### Fisher Creek Mines. Mr. McGilvary has just returned from a trip to the mines on Fisher creek. This is the camp in which Messrs. Hartt, Donley and [Criderman?] are so largely interested and in which they own leads now bonded for a handsome sum. Mr. McGilvary is much taken with the camp, and [column continues] ## Column 2 says it will surely equal Butte as a mining camp. One ledge is six miles long and on every 1,500 feet the work shows paying ore in immense bodies. The camp is only twelve miles from the railroad and a good wagon road is to be put in at once. The camp has a bright future before it.—*Missoula Gazette.* ### New Claims Located. Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, June 22.—The following notices of location were filed to-day at the county clerk's office: No Man's lode claim, on the south side of Moose creek, one-half mile from the old town of Moose, in the Moose creek mining district, by Nathaniel McTwecker. Inlet lode claim, about one-half mile north of Clipper mill, in the Summit valley mining district, by William Huselton and J. H. Vandorn. Two notices of water right locations were filed. The first claims the right to appropriate 75 inches of the waters of Saw Mill creek in an unknown township of Silver Bow county for ranching purposes. This claim is filed by John Boyd. The second is filed by William Huselton and John H. Van Dorn, and declares the purpose of the claimants to use 50 inches of the waters of Poplar creek for milling and house purposes. ### MINING NOTES. All parties who hold mining interests in the Potosi mining country are requested to assembly in Pony on July 30, at 7 p. m., for the purpose of organizing the Potosi mining district, enacting district laws and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. Reports of rich strikes in the mines come in with such rapidity that it is getting to be regarded scarcely worthy of special remark, says an Osburn, Idaho, correspondent. The Diamond Hitch, near Burke, has made the richest strike of the year thus far, but to-morrow some hitherto unknown miner, delving away somewhere in the hills, may light upon the magic streak of mineral and immediately find himself and mine famous. This possibility of sudden fortune imparts an element of hopefulness to the miner's calling, which, no doubt accounts for its extraordinary attractions for mankind. ### MINING STOCK EXCHANGE. #### Prices Bid and Asked on the New Board Yesterday.

Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, July 22.—As stated in this morning's STANDARD, strenuous efforts were being made last night to reach the two bodies still in the sump of the Anaconda mine. Owing to the prevalance [sic] of gas and heated air in the bottom of the shaft, work was very hard and during the night the miners worked in shifts of only five minutes each. In the sump was a few inches of water, while all efforts to find the bodies seemed at first unsuccessful. Digging in the earth of the sump, one of the bodies was finally found at 6 o'clock this morning, buried under several feet of dirt. At 9 o'clock this morning the other body was found on the opposite side of the shaft, also buried in the earth. The bodies were hoisted to the surface and taken to Sherman's undertaking rooms. The bodies were a mere mass of battered flesh and bones, all in pieces and unrecognizable except by the clothing. While the undertaker was preparing the bodies for burial, George W. Newkirk summoned a jury and an inquest was held at the *Mining Journal* office. It developed little new, the evidence being about the same as in the other inquest. Matt Sullivan, who resides in Dublin gulch, said he was acquainted with Patrick Murphy and Tim Kelleher, who are now dead. On the morning of the fire at the Anaconda, November 22, he was at work on the 200. He gave a signal for the cage and Murphy and Kelleher came down on the cage and went down to the 800 and found a man named Lyons at the mouth of the cross-cut. The three got him on the cage and gave the signal to hoist. Before reaching the top, Murphy and Kelleher fell off. The witness knew at the time of the descent there was a fire and went down to see if there were any men they could help. The witness did not know at what point his companions fell off. Jacob Oliver deputy mining inspector, said he visited the mine in his official capacity this morning. He went down the shaft and found that the deceased came to their death by falling from the cage into the sump and that after an investigation he is satisfied there was no one to blame. Since the day of the accident he is satisfied that the officers of the company have done everything that human ingenuity could suggest to recover the bodies. On the morning of the recovery, the rescuing party was worked in shifts of not more than four or five minutes each, on account of the extreme heat. The bodies were in the sump and there must have been three or four feet of earth upon them, which had accumulated since the accident. Dr. J. A. Trembley, the county physician, was sworn, and testified that in his official capacity he had viewed the bodies and found that death had ensued from accident. The following verdict was then prepared and signed by the jurymen: STATE OF MONTANA, } s[s?]. COUNTY OF SILVER BOW. An inquisition held at Butte City, Mont., on the 22d day of July before George W. Newkirk, acting coroner of said county, upon the bodies of Patrick Murphy and Timothy Kelleher, there lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereunto subscribed, the said jurors upon their oaths do say: We find that the said Patrick Murphy and Timothy Kelleher came to their deaths on the morning of November 22 in the shaft of the Anaconda mine. That the cause of death was by falling from the cage, which, in time, was caused by suffocation on account of gases produced by a fire in the mine. And we further find that the officers and employes of the Anaconda company did everything in their power to prevent loss of life or accident, and are to be highly commended for their heroic efforts to save their fellow workmen. Further, we find that no blame whatever can be attached to said Anaconda company or any of its officers. In testimony whereof we the said jurors have hereunto set our names this the said 22nd day of July, 1890. B. E. ST. CHARLES, GEORGE H. FITZGIBBON, PHIL A. JULIAN, JOHN CURRAN, ANGUS McQUEEN, W. F. JORDAN. This afternoon and evening many old friends of Pat Murphy and Tim Kelleher called at the undertaking rooms to see the remains. But little was to be seen except bones and the old clothes. The Anaconda company had given instructions for as fine caskets as could be made and by evening the bodies had been placed in the caskets. That of Pat Murphy was removed to the house of his widow in Dublin gulch. The remains of Kelleher will be removed in the morning to the house of Daniel Drew in Dublin gulch and the funerals will be held at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, exactly eight months from the time of their death. The Miners union held a meeting to-night and it was decided to attend in a body the funeral of P. C. Murphy. Kelleder [sic] was not a member of the union. The Emmet Guards has voted to attend Kelleher's funeral in a body as he was a member of that organization. As laid out in the caskets little can be seen of the bodies. The heads are gone, a little piece of scalp being all that is left. The hands and arms are the best preserved portions. ### JUDGE AND JURY. #### Cases Disposed of or Postponed in District Court. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, July 22.—The first case called this morning at the district court was that of Emma Hanley vs. John C. Hanley. At the request of the plaintiff and with the consent of the defendant this case was ordered dismissed as settled. In the case of the Blue Bird Mining Co. vs. C. F. Smith, ten days additional were granted the plaintiff in which to file an affidavit on motion for a new trial. The one case finally disposed of was that of Henry Nichols vs. Mary E. Williams et al. The case was an action for the recovery of a debt, and has been before the courts three years. Two previous verdicts have been set aside. This morning as the defendants failed to put in an appearance, judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff to the amount of $190.09 and $2.80 costs. The case of the Montana Central railroad Co. vs. A. F. Megeon et al., is set for trial to-morrow morning. ### NEW CASES FILED. #### More Work for Judge McHatton of the District Court. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, July 22.—Several new cases have been filed before the district court since our last report. Stephen D. Mills has entered complaint against H. Hynes and George Andrews. It is claimed that on April 15, 1890 the defendant seized upon a bay gelding called "Half Moon," and belonging to Mills. Suit is brought for the re- [column continues] ## Column 4 covery of the horse or his estimated value $1,000 together with $100 for his retention. James B. Haggin has also filed complaint against Christ Boe and Ham Joe (a Chinaman). This suit is to recover possession of a portion of the Buffalo lode claim, lot 70, in the Summit valley mining district. Besides mere recovery the plaintiff sues for damages by retention to the amount of $500 and also for rents to the amount of $500. A third complaint is that of Andrew Mickel vs. Henry Fisher and Robert Gibbons. This suit is to recover a claim for service between August 7, and October 27, 1888. It is claimed that for services rendered during that interval the defendant promised wages at the rate of $3.25 per day. At this rate the total wages for the time would have been $260. Of this sum $152 has been paid, leaving $108 and interest as the amount claimed by Mickel. A fourth case filed this afternoon is to be known as Annie J. Parker vs. Patrick Kilbride. This suit is to recover about fourteen-hundredths of an acre of land, being a portion of the surface ground of the Hesperus lode claim. The plaintiff claims that she was unlawfully ousted from this property about March 15, 1889. She now asks for repossession, $400 damage through retention and $80 rent. ### Conference Appointments. By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, July 22.—The bishop of the Montana annual conference, M. E. church south, sends out the following appointments in the different parts of the state: Sunday, July 27, 11 a. m., Belgrade, Mont.; same date at 8 p. m., Bozeman, Mont.; Tuesday, July 29, East Helena, 8 p. m.; Wednesday, July 31, 7 p. m., Boulder; Friday, August 1, Anaconda; Sabbath, August 3, Dr. J.

In the meantime we will continue to offer many lines of goods at about one-half of the usual clearing sale prices. Goods are usually sold low at clearing and special sales in this city, but you can safely divide the prices of such sales by two and then in many cases the quotient will be greater than the prices which will prevail here until after the inventory referred to.

It is true that some of them are a little soiled, but don't lose sight of the reductions nor of the freshness which a little soap and water will impart. The lot also includes a very few ladies' white dresses any of which will be sold at about one-fourth of clearing and special sale prices. Such reductions read like fiction, but they are genuine and the proof is here. ## LADIES' WRAPS. WERE. ................................
