Important Enterprise.

Colonel Wall has just made a very
important change in the develop
ment work on the property of the
Wood River Gold and Silver Mining
Company at Bullion. Heretofore
the work has been from the surface
down. This was undoubtedly the
proper way to work as long a. there
was any doubt of the continuity of
the mine in the depth. But, now
that the vein is proved to be q true
one, it ls the part OF wisdom for mine
owners to avail themselves of all the
natural advantages which the loca-
ton of their properties afford, and to
drive tunnels when possible, instead
of sinking shafts, inclines or wines.
These were probably the consider
atoms that actuated Colonel Wall
when he determined to drive q deep
tunnel to tap the ledge III the Bullion
mine. This tunnel has been COM
menced within the past day or two
and will be completed by next spring
1t will tap the ledge at a depth of
700 feet. confirm the prominence al
ready felt in the permanencey of our
mines, and greatly reduce the cost of
extracting ore and opening up the
property Wood River Times.

No Monkey Business.

The business Of White Hall In
ready-made clothing and gents
furnishing goods has always been
large and it has doubled within tho
past year a. the result Of methods
which have met with your approval.
The value of ready-made clothing IL
deceptive; 20 much 30 that 1t can
only be accurately determined by
the experienced eye and practiced
touch. For that reason shrewd fell
lows with elastic condolences and
"rapid" notions about the acquisi-
ton of money, take a. naturally to
the clothing business as
DUCK DOES
to water; and for that reason such
fellows should be given q wide
berth. If . business offer oppor-
tunities to cheat-that's tho plain
English-it does not follow that all
engaged in that business will utilize
the opportunities. bat it does follow
that people should be on their guard
and exercise ordinary business pru-
dence unless they really enjoy the
sensation peculiar to having been
cheat" There are houses whose
reputation for fair dealing Is 20 well
established as to admit of no doubt,
and they are those that achieve hon
orable, substantial and marked sue
cess. Such q house cannot afford to
veer from q course so smooth aud
true, for disaster would follow the
most inviting tack. But if honesty
is the best policy why don't all prac-
tice 1t? It 10 q fact that they do not,
and it's uphill work to argue
against fact. Impotence or the
desire to make money rapidly is per-
haps the best general answer to this
question given. The methods Of
WHITE HALL
have been tested and if any of its pat
rons have ever been wronged
through any of the occasional mis-
takes that belong to the best con-
Quoted business, it has been their
fault if q satisfactory adjustment has
not been made for we make no rep
resentation that We are unwilling to

THE FINE ARTS.
Mr.. Words Experience Among
Scenic ARTISTS.

The simple announcement that the
Hon. Samuel Word returned to
Butte yesterday after several days
absence doesn't ill the bill. Mr.. Word
comes home with . voice like q bass
drum and q "hurrah" written all
over his countenance. He was at
Miles City when he received . tele-
gram from Daniel G. Manning that
Gle veland had carried New York by
q safe and sure majority and that he
was elected. MI. Word was ready to
take the train for Bozeman but the
boys corralled him until the train
passed by and then made prepara-
lions to paint the town q bright YER
million IN tue evening. They did 1t.
Word spoke an hour or 80
and when the crowd had about
$50 lbs. of enthusiasm to the square
inch he let them 90. Word went
with It. By morning the town had
three or four coats of carmine.
Democrats. Republicans, Indepen-
dents, soldiers and Indians all took .
hand in putting it on. 1t was .
glorious time.
When the west-bound train AZ
rived Mr.. Word was escorted to .
Pullman and given three rousing
cheers as it pulled out from the de-
pot. This all occurred last Friday
night, the 7th inst. The next even
ing the gentleman was ut R"seman.
Here he addressed another immense
meeting of Democrats, aud after
wards helped adOrn the town In
lurid colors. The Bozemanites d"
nothing by halves. Neither does
Word. So they took all night to do
up the job. 1t was done in work
manlike manner.
Tuesday evening found the gentle
man 10 Virginia City. he carried
the news of the great victory and the
old veterans of Alder Gulch swore by
the names OF their ancestors that
the bucket and brush must come out
They came, and with them came the

mountains, the stern-visaged bus.

into service and after enthus
ing the crowd Joined II
in applying the paint. Never
since the days of the vigilantel
did the old city hold such . lively
| crowd, nor ever did Raphael In hll
most inspired moments apply thu
brush more artistically and effective
~ than did the denizens Of the socla

Roofs.

The Metal Worker, New York,
the most intelligent Newspaper Of ito
class published, which devotes . good
portion of its space to the discussion
of roofing materials, ETC., In . recent
issue says:
We have already commented upon
the effort that certain parties inter.
ested in copper production r maxi
ing to find new channels for the use
of this material, which 1T present II
being sold ut very low prices. The
american Archtteoe and BwQdjssg
Nescs takes up the question Of copper
roofs and discusses 1t ct some length.
It says: "As every one knows,
many roofs still exist In
perfect condition IN our
Eastern cities which were covered
with copper dfty or sixty years ago.
and to all appearances they will be
- good for as many years more.
Some roofs of this kind In Europe
have remained for nearly 500 years.
Although the first costs Of such roofs
was in their day very considerable,
their durability has made them by
far the most economical sort that
could have been used In tho trying
climate of the Atlantic seaboard.
Since the price Of copper Is probably
less than half Is great now - it was
them" this journal concludes, ut ID
we'll worth considering whether the
fashion may not be revived"
Starting with the assumption that
copper sheeting il worth II cents Per
pound, 1t estimates that the cost for
material alone Of . roof of 10>ounce
copper will be sos cents per square,
and for 16-ounce copper, which 1t
thoroughly recommends for use, $17
per square. The estimate cost Of
laying is s. per square, making the
total cost of the roof $40 to SIS per
square. These figures, We have no
doubt, will prove IN establishment to
the writer who first suggested the
proprlety of using copper for roofing
purposes, and who urged that it was
q cheap roof because the cost of cop
per was 80 exceedingly low
Our architectural contemporary
continues: "These figures seem
high, but, independent of repairs, a
roof of copper would probably out
wear half q dozen tin roofs, and the
coet Of these, together with that OF
painting them, would be about three
times that of copper. Moreover, the
material of the old copper roof is al
ways saleable at q good price, while
old tin, slate or composition Art
worse than useless" 1t then refers
to the II ost serious objection which
is usually made to the employment o.
copper for roofing purposes, which II
that 1t is likely to be torn off and
carried away by thieves. 1t argue.
that, since copper cutters and rain
water pipes are in extensive use with
out such results, it seems reasonable
to suppose that plain roofing might
also escape.
