It is a treasure of wealth that might pay the national debt, It has made its owner a copper king. a railroad mag- nate“ a United States senator. it has made him richer than any monarch and perhaps may make him as pow- ful. The story of the career of the owner of this great mine is a unique How far it will be possible to work the mine before reaching the heat limit it would be impossible to say. . but 'a reasonable estimate is 3.000 feet; but without trespassing upon the future, the proved ore bodies contain values that almost stagger belief. The mine. to the depth of 11,400 feet. con~ talus 336,000,000 cubic feet o! are. and estimating 11 cubic feet to the ton, which is a liberal allowance, there are 33,000,000 tbns practically in sight. At $75 a ton, n conserva- tive estimate of value, the ore rep- resents more than . 32.475.000.000. with more than half of the available tore body yet untouched. ‘ one. > The stpry of the life of the stat. wart Montana bonanza king has few parallels in the Rocky, mountains or west- of it. He is a Pennsylvanian, and it 23 years of age hammered a. yoke of oxen across the plains to Dem ver. After he had dipped into the. Pike’s Peak excifement he Went north to Butte. He worked in the mines for wages awhile and then paddled goggg fyom caqxp to camp in a wagon. This led to his establishing a store. and having this and selling goods to the mlneg, as did Tabor at Colorado, he gradually acquired min- in: interests. some or which were taken (or debts. About thls time he saw thatgrest wealth was to be. derived only from the mines. and he set, out for Colum- bls college to study metallurgy. He stayed long. enough to get a. pretty good knowledge of it and then he went back and proceeded to develop his properties and secure others. From that day he speedly began to ascend the ladder. He devoted his attention closely to copper properties. and to Mr. Clark ls due the credit of ship- ping the first copper from Montana to seaboard. 3e£ore,t_he New York State Rall- vny commission Gen.
