SAYS COPPEROPOLIS MINE IS A CORKtR Marion A. Butler, of Portland, law partner of United States Sonator John II. Mitaholl, is nothing if not enthusiastic uvor tho remarkably rich showing at tho Copporopolis miuo, at Quartburg, in which ho is a heavy stockholder, and ou routo to which ho and General Manager W. W. (Jibbs paasod through Sumpter this morning. "I believe, " said Mr. Butler to u Miner man this morning at the depot, "that tho Copperopolls will develop into one of tbo greatest, if not ubsolutoly tho groatest, copper mi no iu the Northwest. Recout de velopments havo opeuod a body of copper oro, llfty-soveu feet wide, thoroughly and oveuly miueralizod clear across, 000 feet long, boing opened at three points, and 247 feet (loop. Tho oro is tho prettiest ever takon from a mine. It will grade high, so high that tho recout state ment made by the mining editor of the Portland Journal, that it will average from one to three per cent copper, is utterly and uumeutionably abdiird. Furthermore, the ore is not refractory, as the Journal assumes. It is susceptible of easy concentra tion, as proved by elaborate analyses aud repeated tests iu bulk. Manager (Jlbbi, who is depeveloping the prop erty, is. the man who opened the mother lode on the Sunset mine in British Columbia. He is both a scientific aud practical miner. He knows the theory of ore deposition aud oau put iu an upper. Work at the Copperopolls is eutirely in his baud-). Next spring he will order the installation of a oouceutratiug plant, the product to be shipped to the Sumpter smolter. Pendiug that time development will be kept up, so that when the plaut is ready there will be ore enough, aud of a sufficiently high grado, to make the Copperopolls a corker."
