Copper prospects improve at Meagher county mines
Reynolds and McDowell of Butte report strong results across five patented claims and about 80 additional ones in Meagher county. The Northern Pacific claim reaches 50 feet with 56 percent copper in the east drift and 25 percent in the west, while 15 cars average at least 26 percent copper. A car on the way to Butte samples 40 percent. The ledge runs for miles on the surface and a Montana Railroad branch may be built within 30 days. Dave Folsom works a 100-foot shaft with good ore and one car shipped to a Butte smelter. Drifting at the 850-foot level suggests a continuous ore body.
