Big Buffalo Group of Claims
Reported Sold By
SAM I. SILVERMAN OF BUTTE
Rich Ore la the Jim Blaine at Re
public-Lewis & Sons' Cop
per Review.
It is reported from Spokane that Sam
I. Silverman has sold the Big Buffalo
group of claims in Buffalo Hump camp,
, ., . . ___ „
Idaho, at a price saul to be consider
ably over half a million dollars. The
p Urc hasers are Charles Sweeny and F.
j, ew is Clark of New York, who have had
experts examining the property for some
time. Silverman had a bond on the
group for $550,000, and it is supposed he
end line. The drift is in a full face of
The Big Buffalo group comprises three
claims, the first locations in that camp.
The group was located by Robbins and
Rigley, two prospectors who chanced to i
find values in a monster ledge, which had
been known for years, but which was be
lieved to be valueless. A little work on
the surface showed them that under
neath a capping of about eight feet of
bull quartz lay a ledge of gold ore of
marvelous richness. Upon their return
to Florence with samples of the ore, a
stampede began, such as central Idaho
has not witnessed since the stirring days
of placer mining in the 60's. It was late
in the summer, and as the elevation of
the Buffalo Hump mountain, upon which
the claims were located, is over 8,000 feet,
but little time remained for prospecting
before snow covered the country.
Silverman secured a bond on thc group
and has been doing some development
work since last summer. It is stated that
the lowest assay obtained recently was
$52, and the highest $77.
The ledge is said to be fully 40 feet
wide, with 12 feet of pay ore.
THE JIM BLAINE.
Spokane Review: At thc office of thc
Republic and Jim Blaine mining com
panies yesterday James Clark stated that
the average assays for the previous day
across the full face of the south drift on
the lowest level was $225, and that the
drift was at that time a trifle over 100
feet from the end line of the Jim Blaine.
The ore has been growing richer with
every foot of drifting toward the Blaine
end line.; The drift is in a full face of
ore, whose real width is not known, as
no crosscut has been made of late.
"This ore chute may not reach thc Jim
Blaine end line on this level," said Mr.
Clark, ''but the Blaine will have the ore
chute on the next level in any event. It
is dipping directly into the Jim Blaine
ground. Of course it is not unlikely that
wo shall follow the rich ore all the way
into the Blaine. But even if we do not,
there is reason to believe that the Blaine
surrounding claims, the Blaine and the
No. 6, thus saving the stockholders of
the two companies considerable money.
BLACKFOOT CITY MINING.
will not show rich ore chutes after we
get into that claim, beside thc ones it gets
at deptth."
The Jim Blaine will be worked through
the Republic. The Republic workings
are to be utilized to develop two of the
Deer Lodge Silver State: Phil Har
rlngton, formerly of the Emery Leasing
ompany of this place, arrived home Sat
urday evening from Blackfoot City,
where he, with some associates, are
working a lease on a rich silver-copper
claim. Mr. Harrington is highly pleased
with the property and is sure that it is
going to become one of the best in the
state. A carload of the ore was shipped
to the Helena smelters for treatment last
Friday, but Mr. Harrington had not re
ceived the returns yet, when lie left here
yesterday for the mine. Mr. Harrington
and his associates have just located the
American and Copper King quartz lode
claims adjoining his lease, and there is
an excellent showing in each of them.]
He is confident that he has a rich prop
erty and has already refused a good
round sum for his chance.
THE LE R0Î.
The trustees of the Le Roi Mining &
Smelting company have been restrained
by an order of Judge Hanford of the cir
cuit court of the United States from .sell
ing the assets of the company to the re
cently organized London company, and
from issuing to tlie British America cor
poration, or its agents or trustees any
of thc 205,000 shares of stock purchased
from the Turner faction, and for which
the linal payment was made last Satur
day.
RELATIVE TO COPPER.
In their annual review of copper p V o
; duction and consumption for the year
1 SD s James L wis & Sons of Liverpool say:
It is cause of considerable surpris - that
! consumption in England during 1S9SI
j should show no appnrmt inert are over
1S97, especially as the loinand diving ih *
j latter half of 1897 fell off v ry materially
iii consequence of the strik/ of t)i ■ engi
neeis. This is th ■ inor< surprising in view
of the development of electri
lighting, 'he extension of te
power and

telegraph wires, the activity In the engi
neering trade, and the great increase in
the building of steamships—from 1,221,821
to 1,661,853 tons—which has taken place in
the course of the year. Stocks of refined
and manufactured copper in the makers' j
works and at Birmingham arc doubtless
much less than a year ago; but on the I
other hand the stock of sulphate of cop
per is considerably larger, with the large
reduction in its export the last three
months.
Although there has been no apparent ,
increase in the consumption of copper in;
England and France, that of Germany
has increased to the extent of about 5,600 ^
tons, which is however only one half the !
increase of the year 1897. The promotion j
of companies for the application of elec
tricity and the manufacture of electrical
plants and appliances in Germany during
tlie past four years has been most nota
ble. In the year 1894-95 the official re
turns of the different leading electrical
companies give the capital employed as
about 3% millions sterling. In tipi year
1897-98 it had increased to 18 millions ster
ling. During this period the consumption
of copper in Germany increased 40.000
tons—from 62,955 tons in 1894 to about
103.000
millions sterling, the shares in the com
perating them having
popular investment on the part

-r om mus ... i
)0 tons in 1898. It is estimated that ,
ic present time the amount of capital
millions sterling, tlie snares m me ^um- i
panics operating them having a very
popular investment on the part of the
German banks and public for some years
past, with the result that there has been
an enormous over-production of such
companies, leading to severe competition
and reduced profits. In view of this and
the monetary stringency ruling in Gfr
many for some time past, increasing the
difficulty of financing these c °™pa«ies,
it cannot be expected that this expansion
of electrical works and consequent in
crease in the consumption of copper in
that country will continue during 18..
In the United States the consumption
appears to have been about 8,000 tons less
j

than in 1897—which exceeded that or J>. >i
by 24,355 tons. Consumption there, ts,
however, likely to increase considerably
for some months to come in view of t u
great prosperity and present extradai
nar'v development of the general trade of
the country, combined with the plethoia
and cheapness of money. . . .
As far as returns are at present ob tam
able production has increased about
000 tons during 1898, our estimate b 1 ''"«
437,000 tons for the total production of the
world. The inf

2,000, and the Cape 1.800 tons, l n l -
duction of thc Rio Tinto company ,
Mason and Barry in Spain and Portugal
has fallen off about 2,750 tons, in conse
quence of the scarcity of water. The un
ports into Europe from Mexico and Japan
show a decrease, but this is accounted for
by increased shipments from Mexico to
the United States and to increased home
consumption in Japan, the exports show
ing a reduction of about 600 tons. Both
Newfoundland and British Columbia have
increased their shipments to the United
States.
The high prices now ruling will un
doubtedly stimulate the production of
copper during the coming year. In thc
United States an increase is expected
from the Lake Superior district, where
numerous mines are being opened or re
opened.—one of which the Arcadian, is ex
pected to produce at thc rate of about
000 tons per annum before many months
are over,—from Arizona the increase is es
timated by a high authority at about 15,
000 tons, while Utah, California and Alas
! ka will add to the supply. In Montana it
stated that the output of the Anaconda
mines will be largely into
cd, difficulties in connection \\ ith the
working of some of thc shafts which have
I prevailed the past year and reduced the
j output about 10.000 tons, have been over
j come, and the Washoe company will sonn
; produce on a large scale. Australia will
j probably increase at least 5,000 tons,
many mines being now developed, addi
tional railways built and smelting works
erected. Incenses may also bo expected
from Canada (especially in British Coi
| umbia), the Cape, Chile, Peru, Mexico,
I and Japan, while the reduced output from
j s pa in and Portugal is not likely to enn
tinue, and Cuba may again become a
) ar g, e producer. That the production of
copper is very profitable.even with Stand
ard copper selling below £50 per ton. is
showed by the dividends declared by the
leading mining companies—40 per cent.,
by the Rio Tinto, 25 per cent., by the
Tliarsis, 25 per cent., by the Capo, 10 per
c. nt., by the Anaconda, 48 per cent., by
the Boston-Montana, 200 per cent by the
Calumet and Heel a, 23 1-3 per cent by the
Mount Lyell, while in Chile they have es
pecially in nefited by the fall in the ex
change.
Tlie value of copper during thc yenr 1899
will lie mainly governed by the relativ
j
:
i
j development of production and consump
.........
ed supplies from new sources, a decline
from this level appears probable. In the
year 1890 the public stocks in Europe wi re
redueed by 11,640 tons, in 1897 by 3,822 tons,
and in 1898 by 5,109 tons—the total redlie
tion in the three years being from 42.917
tion. For some time, and while the pres
ent sanguine views prevail with regard to
the prospects of the trade of the world
generally, and of the United States espec
ially, it seems likely to be maintained ot
about .C60 i r ton for Standard, and may
go still higher; but later on, with inert
t>- 22.346 tons. So long as the reserve stm-k
' of copper in Europe retains its present
I moderate proportions, and the present
I high level of value continues, the market
will he very sensitive to favorable or un
j favorable influences, and be liable to
j manipulation in the interests of the hold
I ers of copper or copper shares.

Charles Rlevo, charged with the larceny
of some musical instruments or the
money realized on them, was given a. pre
liminary hearing in Justice Nichols' court
yesterday afternoon and discharged from
custody. The prisoner had been employ
ed by Ignat-/, Stern to sell zithers at $7
each. Of this amount Stern was to re
ceive $3.75 and Kleve $3.25. The salesman
made a trip to Helena and Marysville,
but did not lind the people waiting to pay
full price for his goods; so lie made a
failure of it and h.nl to sell at a sacrifice,
It being shown that the expenses of the
trip had consumed the profit, the jus
tice discharged the defendant.
WERDER'S CASE CONTINUED.
Gregor Werder was before Justice Har
rington yesterday afternoon. Werder
, was associated with Joseph Miller in the
' attempt to steal a brass plunger from the
