THE CONTRACTS EXTENDED.
Inference to Be Drawn From the Boon
IN the Copper Market.

Inference e Be Draw From Boom
IN the Copper Market.
A private dispatch received in this city
yesterday from Boston announced that
satisfactory arrangements have been
made with the Syndicate. Stocks are
higher and the situation is promising"
This confirms the Associated Press tele-
gram from there OF the previous day, stat
ing that "a reaction and boom occurred in
copper stocks It the exchange" Boston
and Montana was 43, and touched 49,;
Calumet and Hecla was $500, and touches
$2.63, an advance OF ID, and Tamarack
was $1.40. an advance OF S..
Manager Palmer Of the Butte and Boston
wore a satisfied smile and said that it was
evident that the suspense in regard to the
future of the French Syndicate noW
be regarded az past. The present reaction
in copper could only be caused by one
thing, AMI that is that the meeting between
the copper men and the Syndicate men IN
New York had resulted in an extension OF
the contracts with the Syndicatefora longer
period. Mr.. Hasgin and the repl esenta-
tives Of sll the large copper concerns OF the
country had been negotiating with
the French representatives to this
end and having evidently reached
some satisfactory determination looking
to the above result, the market had re-
sumed its frmness. and the future OF the
copper mines OF the country is secured for
an indefinite period. The result can only
be satisfactory to the mining interests Of
this camp as assuring q continuance of the
existing good prices that have been current.
The particulars of the arrangement come
to are not known now except to the
initiated. but doubtless include regulation
OF output.

The q. p. Building From Dillon to Helena
Under an Unimpaired Charter.
IL Was yesterday learned from George w.
Irwin that the charter under which the
Union Pacific is resuming construction OF
the line from Dillon TO Helena was granted
several years ago to the Montana Railway
Company, which was the name under which
all the Union Pacific lises in the Territory
we're built. The directors were Charles
Francis Adams, Frederick Ames, Z. Wat
kins, Samuel Word, George W. Irvine II.
and two others. The rights then
acquired Nj. Irwin asserts are still intact.
the Attorney General having taken no
steps to abrogate them for default in full
filing their contract. The money spent ON
the road in the Jefferson canyon was not
spent to keep other roads out but with the
intention OF completing the road when the

now arrived in the opinion of the authori-
ties of the road, the work of construction
has been resumed

A gentleman who returned from Boulder
yesterday, who was there when the Union
Pacific party was collecting preparatory to
going over to the Jefferson canyon, said
that they we're all q very decent looking
set OF working men, and there was not ap-
paFently q gun in the outfit. He under
stood from Captain Lytle that they we're
under his charge, and the latter stated that
he hai promised the men not to get them
into any trouble. There was nothing about
the party to indicate that they differed in
any respect from any gang OF graders.

rHE ASYLUM ELL.

For reasons that are not at all appar
emit, and with a yindictiyeness that form
q good ground for suspicion that the.
may be actuated by Interior motives,
number of the members of the Legis
lature are, and have been, waging a war
fare against the proprietors of the Warn
Springs Asylum. Had facts been tn
basis Of the attack. there might be som,
excuse for 1t. but as wilful misrepi essen
tations have taken the place of argument
many persons are inclined to believ,
that the zeal manifested by the gentle
men is mot wholly i'm the interest of tn,
public.
The attack Is in the shape Of a cum.
bersome bill to erect a Territorial asy.
lum at some point not yet named, but to
be selected by q commission from the
several counties. The bill appropriates
for the building 100000. and in addi-
ton makes the salaries of the commits
sion, while on duty, IS per diem, and
ten cents per mile for travelling expen-
ses. No estimate can be made for this
expense, for the reason that no limit il
placed upoa the number of days that
they shall serve during the period oceu-
pied i'm the erection of the new building.
Besides this, the SUN named Is surely in
adequate for the purchase of suitable
grounds, and the construction of proper
buildings for the care of the unfor-
tunates.
The claim is made that the existing
contract is too expensive, and that much
money would be saved annually by the
Territory conducting the institution by
its own officers.
In his anxiety to carry his point, one
OF the gentlemen interested in the bill.
lMr. Murray Of Missoula) recently made
a statement In the House that the ex-
pense for maintaining the insane at the
Warm Springs for the year 1883 was
$S5,O00, while the TACT Is he overstepped
the mark by more than $4,000. Still a
little matter like that cuts no figure with
the advocates OF the asylum scheme.
In regard to the price paid the present
contractors. 1t may be well to institute
a comparison. The sheriffs Of the
several counties are paid 80 cents per
day for the board Of prisoners, the
counties paying for the buildings, cloth
ing, when necessary, guards and other
expenses. Under their contract Mitchell
& Mussigbrod receive just 80 cents more
per day for the care Of the insane. For
this they furnish buildings, fuel, light
food, clothes and medical attendance
and evsn their most bitter opponents
dare not say that the inmates are not as
well cared for as they are in any insti-
tuition Of the kind In the country, either
public or private.
The fathers Of the bill have not Ger
tainly figured up the cost Of conducting
such an asylum should ii be instituted.
but they must remember that when q
building Is erected, there must be the
necessary supplies above mentioned, to
say nothing Of superintendent, physi-
clans, matrons, nurses. and other help;
and further, that it Is hardly probable
that q site would be selected which would
embrace In its area such splendid med
I'll springs as those Of the present in
