Black Butte Mines Will Install a 300-Ton Smelter. A MOO ton quicksilver plant Is go ing up on tho llliick Hut to mines, near Cottage Crovo Oregon, in which (i. it. Dennis of Spokane is Inter ested. Said Mr. Dennis yesterday: "Four years of uninterrupted de velopment has exposed tho most tixpanslvo imbedding of cinnabar ore on the American continent. If not in tho world. Tlio work represents an expenditure of nearly a half million dollars. "Tho Hlack ISutte quicksilver mines are located in Lane county, Oregon, some eighteen miles from Cottage drove. To my brother. II. Dennis, is due the credit fur the Kuccenful development, as he litis been without iuteiiuption its iiiehl tect from the beginning. During tho four years l'J.000 feet of woik have been done, which includes n vertical shaft to the 1,000 foot level. At each 100 foot station u drift run ning on the foot null has been driven either side of the shaft, the full length of the pay shoot, 'I'll feet, and at each level the ledge has boon cro-M'ut for Its full width of eighty feot. The avciiigo of the oro is about one per cent in quicksilver, or say 610 a ton, and there is now blocked out more than 82.000,01)1) in (luiuksllver. "A contract has just been let for an additional tunnel II, 000 feet long, which, when completed, will give n vertical depth of 1,700 feet, and will be tho main working tunnel of the mine. The piesent forty ton smelt ing or distilling plant is being en larged to a HOI) ton capacity, and the mine equipped with a complete elec trical water power plant, furnishiug power and light which places the property In position for working upon a very largo scale. "Quicksilver may be designated as ouo of tho rare minerals; at least, mines producing it are rare. Other than the lllack llutto mine, it is be ing prulltably mined upon tho Amer ican continent only in California, whore it has been mined for many years, yielding many millions of money to its owners. Somo littlo has been found in llrltlsh Columbia; some in Mexico, whore the metal lurgical methods uro crude, and whore only fifty or olghty-tlvo per cent of tho mercury in tho high grade ores is recovered. "Spain, of course, has produced quicksilver for centuries, producing annually about 100,000 llasks. val ued at about 85,000,000." Spokes man Review. FIGHT FOR CONCESSIONS.
