CHICAGO, May 1.-Jay Gould reached this
city this evening after trip of inspection
covering / @, 00o miles of road under his con-
troll. He pronounces the rumor that the
Wabash is about to pass into the hands of
q receiver to be absurd and says he has
practically taken it on his shoulders be-
cause he considers it valuable property.
He expressed great qualification at the out
look for crops and traffic in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska He
says the only thing these roads west fear
is unwise and adverse legislation, does not
anticipate war of rates between roads
west of the Missouri river in consequence
OF the extension of his Missouri Pacific
TO junction with the Union Pacific; says
he still favors establishment of new stock
cards at Chicago and has pledged half a
million of dollars for the work whenever
Il may be deemed advisable to put it in
operation. Gould viii remain in the city

Cigar Manufacturer and Tobacco
mist.

This gentleman came to Butte Just
little over year ago, opened with q
first-class stock Of goods, and has kept
nothing but the very best since. His
stock Of cigars, tobaccos, pipes and
smokers' articles Of all kinds Is unsur-
passed in quality by any other house Of
the kind in the Territory. One of the
most recent enterprises inaugurated in
Butte is the opening Of a first-class ci-
gar manufactory by Mr.. Mauldin. AS
yet his variety Of brands is limited,
having started up this addition to his
business few days ago, but he informs
US that in a short time he will have q
nice variety of brands to suit the taste
of any and every one that uses the pre-
cious weed. The "Hot Springs" one
of his own manufacture, Is an elegant
and deliciously favored cigar. He has
engaged rs his manufacturer the ser
vices Of Mr.. Tyler d. Featherly, who
came here from the East, and has had
an experience of fifteen years In his
profession. We would state that Mr..
Mauldin only purchases the very best
lines OF leaf tobacco with which to
make up his goods. His lines of chew
ing and smoking tobaccos are purchased
from the best eastern establishments;
such goods as Lorillard's being good
enough In any country. The sign ON
the outside Of the establishment reads:
/" A Good Cigar for a Rit." Try one OF
his +" Boquets," manufactured by New
York house, and II You don't think no

power, fuel and labor. The concentrate
ing works at present are designed to
treat thirty tons of ore per day, with ca
pacity and power to handle sixty tons
per day If necessary. The smelter,
which is situated Immediately below
the concentration, is supplied with the
necessary number of reverberatOrs to
dispose Of all the concentrations. One
main tlue furnishes all the necessary
draft. This fi,le Is $50 feet in length, s
feet high In the clear by 3 feet wide;
arched the entire length; plastered In
side with fire clay, and terminates in a
stack about thirty feet high, making a
total elevation of It's feet.
As has been stated, the ore passes
from the working shaft through it's diff
ferent stages Of treatment without being
subjected to lifting power. A single
exception should be noted. All ore
from the mine which requires roasting
is elevated by steam power to the kilns,
which are situated just above the tram
way, and from thence descend to the
proper place for treatment. A perfectly
protected ditch carries full supply Of
pure soft water from a never-failing
stream near by, and in case Of fire the
whole volume can he turned upon the
flames. Taking them all in all 1t Is
safe to assert the Gregory reduction
works are the most complete, and for
their capacity, the most economical Of
any other similar ones in the West.
The cost Of their construction did not
exceed $lOO,OOO. Great credit is due
Professor Hesse for his skillful arrange
ment of the plant, and for the pains
which he has taken to accommodate ev-
cry detail of the business to the harmo-
NOUS working of the whole. Messrs.
Child and METRE have displayed unus-
ual enegy and perseverance, in bringing
the Gregory to the front rs one of the
great mining properties of the West,
and In 80 doing they have earned a
prominent place among the successful
mining men of the day, and, what Is
quite as satisfactory, a fortune for them
selves and for the stockholders of the
company. The Gregory may be ranked
as one of the great standard mines Of
the Territory.

cality have leone to stay" After en-
tering the town and noting the smiling
countenance of Joe Allen, as he helps
you to an appetizer, and of Brother
Renshaw, as he provides you with sub
Fstantial luxuries for the inner man, he
is convinced his belief Is we'll founded.
But it is the mine that the writer more
particularly desires to mention. Plac-
ing himself under the guidance of Mr..
w. c. Child, one of the fortunate own
ers Of this valuable property, he was
placed in possession of the following in
teresting facts In regard to it: TT
The property is owned by the Gregory
Consolidated Mining Company of New
York, composed of Messrs. w. C. Child
and L. r. METRE of Helena, and some
of their friends residing in New York
and Boston. The capital stock Of the
company is 100000 shares, of par
value of $40 per share. None of the
stock is ON the market, the owners pre-
ferring to retain it. The mining claim
is 1000 feet in length by 600 feet In
width, embracing within its boundaries
a strong, well-defned lode of argentif-
erous galena. The mine is opened by
two neutrality-suspicious., incline shafts
800 feet apart, each 400 feet in depth.
These shafts are connected by four lev
els which, in addition to the wines,
open up about 5000 feet Of ore bodies,
upon which but little stopping has been
done. A fifth level is in course of COM
pletion. Upon the dumps at the hoist
ing works, and below them, are $500
tons Of ore, over one-third of which Is
first-class, assaying as follows:
Lead.......".... ......... IS per cent.
Silver...."... ........... 20 ounces.
dOlu... ! ounce.
During the past two years the work
upon the mine has been confined prin-
cipally to running levels and opening
up the ground. This being accom-
plished, and ore bodies being exposed of
sufficient volume to keep extensive re-
duction works in operation for two
years without further sinking or explor-
ations, the company decided last sum-
mer to build them on the ground. That
these works should be superior in every
respect the company secured the services
