Mountain lead mine near Butte promises rich ore
On the Mountain lead near Butte the vein runs about 2,500 feet long with rich ore. At 20 feet below the initial level, black ore and a red copper streak assay around 60 percent copper. The mine, operated by Cameron & Rhen on a two year lease, shows a five foot average paying ore width and rapid development expected. Shafts east and west of Poznaisky & Behm extend exploration, with one shaft 77 feet deep not currently active. A Western bill would allow volunteers from neighboring states to join US forces against hostile Sioux, limiting to five regiments and nine months.
