BIG THING FOR BUTTE.

MIR. CLARK to Add to the Capacity of the
Butte Reduction Works by Mid.
summer.
Mr.. Clark has ordered the following
machinery from Frazier q Chalmers great
works at Chicago, through Mr.. Lie. Trent,
who is now here and giving this plant his
personal attention. The machinry is to
be set up on the grounds OF the Butte Re.
duction Works, owned by Mr.. Clark, and
will be in operation about midsummer.
The concentration plant will consist OF a
steam stamp Of capacity of $50 to 200
ions per day, hydraulic separators, 1s
Cullum iigs, two double Evans slime table.
Also q 15-stamp quarts mill to crush
middlings. Unusually there have been other
appliances used for this purpose; rolls,
Huntington mills, sand mills. Tt is believed
that stamp mills will perform the service
better than anything else. There has also
been ordered all OF the modern appliances
that go with a concentration plant. This
whole machinery will be driven by an i'm
proved 100-herse-power Corliss engine.
There will also be set up an additional
blast furnace of about 65 ton capacity and
two additional reverberators Of q capacity
OF about Is toni each. Also rock breakers
and q pair of heavy crush rolls, and other
necessary appliances. The whole
CAPACITY OF THE PLANT
will be about 200 tons per day. The whole
will be lighted by a 100 incandescent light
plant. The new works will cost about
$4,000 and be in active operation in three
months. There il an abundance OF ground,
Mr.. Clark owning 40 acres at the works
with an abundance of water for hydraulic
separation and for all other purposes OF
the plant. These works will be run on ores
from his own mines, as q rule, but some
will be purchased from outside points,
such as may lie desired for fuxing pur-
poses. Some such ores are now being used
from Philipsburg and other Montana
points. Withal, these works will be about
the most complete ever set up in the inter
mountain country, the result OF years OF
experience and the best inventive genius OF
the times. With the improvements con-
tsmpiated in Butte, including a new mill at
the Blue Bird, there is NO reason why with
new railrosd facilities the city should not
make some giant stride on the highway OF
progressive development this season.
About the only thing needful not yet in
sight is the quietins Of titles to real estate
now clouded by the contest between the
townsite and lode claimants.

FROM MIssoULA.

The Town In the Full Bloom OF Spring
Building Active-The Now Hotel.
MIssoULA, M. T., May 5.-[Correspond
ence OF the Miner. ]-This town is blooming
with natural freshness and looking at it's
best. All the colors OF the rainbow can
now be seen in the fruit-tree blossoms and
the foliage on the cottonwoods is thick.
Missoula looks at it's best at this season.
and is by all odds the prettiest town in the
Territory. Building is going on briskly,
and there will be several improvements
added to this town in course Of compile
ton. The new hotel, which is 100 by $50.
will be completed by the middle Of July.
OF the three stories and basement, the
first story is intended for stores, and tn.
two upper stories will be occupied by the
hotel. This county is sadly in need OF a
Jail Of respectable proportions. The pres
emit shack in use will be carried OF by the
inmates some day. But the county has
now q bonded debt of $4,000, and is
10th to contract any more debt until this
is reduced some. 1t was reduced about
SO, 900 this year already. United States
Deputy Marshal McTague is here summon
lug jurors and witnesses for the term OF
court commencing in the middle of next
month, which will be a long term.

THE BOSSED b



a local Rep blican politician gave it out
solid yesterday that the bosses have ar
ranged who shall b delegates from the
various wards to be voted for at the pri-
maries. "A ticket has been made up,''
said be, "for all the wards by men who
have not got q dollar or any interest in the
city. The principle is dead wong. 1t
makes ward primaries an absurdity. II
there is any virtue at all In = convention it
Is in it's being composed Of men who are fit
to represent their constituency and who
are the unbiased choice Of the people of the
ward. The only true basis o which
public representation to q convention
should be made is this. The citizens OF the
ward should come together at the prirna-
ries and nominate delegates to the conven-
ton themselves. This business Of putting
up a cut-and-dried set Of tickets at each
ward for the voters OF these wards to vote
Tor is an outrage on the voters. OF course
the thing has been dons before, and will be
done again, but that don't make it any
better or more endurable. If the voters Of
my party know what's good for them
turn out in force at the primaries
and put down ring rule from the start, and
| intend to work my best against the
of the BOSSES"

A gentleman on the street yesterday said

There was a sale Of 1 800 shares yester-

BAD BOYS.
A Quartette of Them Arrested for Playing
Cards.

About s o'clock last night Officer Jordan
in passing through the alley in the rear OF
Main, between Broadway and Park streets,
discovered in a stable four boys, whose
ages ranged from nine to fourteen years,
engaged in a game of cards, presumably for
stakes. They are, according to the story
of the officer, q hard lot, and they and 9TH
ers like them have been frequently warned
mend their ways, but, as is evidenced
by the place in which they were found and
the manner in which they were engaged, the
good advice was UNDECIDED. 1t is a hard
matter for the officials to tell what to do
with this precocious gang. They are surely
too young to be sent to jail and there is no
reform school in the Territory. The officer
thought he might give them a scare at
least, and leave it with the judge to dispose
of them. Accordingly he arrested the en-
tire party and locked them up.
