IN DRIFT And LEVEL.
The Outlook for Mines and
Mining in and About
Butte the Brightest.
Several Accidental Discoveries
of Rich Veins Underlying
the City-Mining Notes.

From Wednesday Daily.
The mining outlook Of Montana 10 indeed
hattering. Not q day passes that does not
deal in mining property. A few years ago
it was rumored in mining circles that the
Colusa at Meaderville, vas worked out.
The Mountain View, too, was thought to
be purged of it's valuable ores. To-day
these two properties are worth millions Of
dollars, where a few years ago they we're
not worth hundreds. Since people have
learned that these and other properties
owned by large companies are showing up
immense bodies Of ore, a grand rush is be.
ing made for .outlying ground. and com
panies are being formed for the purpose OF
working the ame A few old crOnics,
many OF whom never saw a mine before
coming to Butte, sit about the saloons
and other warm places and tell wonderful
stories OF the sh~allowness Of the veins OF
this vicinity. These mel have never done
much work towards developing the re-
sources Of this or any other camp. Some
OF them have owned valuable ground, but
they were not aware OF the fact, because it
requires at least q little work to determine
the value OF property. However, since the
Anaconda, Boston and Montana, Butte and
Boston, Colorado and other large COM
panies have taken hold of these
locations and developed them, affairs
in the mining industry have changed for
the better. and the old.timers who origin
ally owned some of the be t mines in this
vicinity, but threw them away because the
mining laws required them to do 500
worth of work yearly on zach claim, now
walk about and kick themselves because
they did not know it was there and hold
on to them.
If the amount Of ore now in sight in some
OF the developed mines in Butte is a critic
rion by which to judge the future OF this
city, Butte will be a "rusher" twenty-five
years hence-just the length of time con
sumed in bringing about the present status
of affairs.
As an illustration OF the simple manner
in which veins of rich ore are sometimes
in and about Butte, it may be
that several have been encoun.
tered in the very heart of the city by per-
sons ~excavating for foundationsf for houses.
The Crystal gambling house covers one of
these veins. 1t runs east and west, like the
lodges ~hereabouts. This same vein
was struck In the cellar of G. MauIe's new
building, which is about 200 yards due
OF the Cry sta. This ledge is taid to
the richest in mineral of any yet discov.
cred within the city limits.
The Destroying Angel, which is being
worked through a shaft at the corner OF
and Galena streets, was also dis
accidentally. Since it's discovery,
about three months ago, several thousand
dollars in gold and silver have been taken
rom it. although the family living near the
'haft object to the miners digging and ham
nering in their cellar during the wee sma'
lours OF the night. |

A Scrap OF Paper Saves Her Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her
life. She was in the last stage of
consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurabie and could
live only a short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On a
piece of wrapping paper she read
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, and
got a sample bottle; it helped her,
she bought a large bottle, it helped
her more, bought another and grew
better fast, continued its use and is
now strong, healthy, rosy, plump,
weighing 140 pounds. For further

certain Collins and his wife always
lived peaeeably together when he
knew them Intimately. He has
been at the Collins residence many
times since the family moved to
the farm, dined with them and re-
manned over night, but never saw
any signs of unpleasantness among
the members of the household.
Each seemed pleasant and polite to
the other. Collins lived In this
city some twenty years ago and
drove a team and wagon tor a living.
The family resided on East Liberty
Street in a house built and owned
by Collins. This property was
finally sold and the land bought
near Rush Hill on which Collins
was living when killed. Mrs. Col
Inns is a sister to Mrs. Davis, who
formerly lived in West Mexico but
who, with her husband, moved to
Kansas City sometime ago where
she has a daughter, Mrs. Hortie
Collins formerly Miss Hortie
Davls) living. Many older resi-
dents of this city remember the
murdered man when he and family
lived in Mexico.
The preliminary examination of
the Collins family will not come
off until after the Coronor's jury
in the case gets through. This
jury will likely finish to-day
or tomorrow. The preliminary
examination is set for to-day,
but will be postponed for at least a
few days until witnesses in the
case can be called. The report
circulated that the pistol and watch
stolen from the Collins residence
had been found is without any
foundation. There are absolutely
no new developments and the Of
6cers are at sea in the matter.
Geo. Robertson, attorney-at-law
of this city, has been retained as
counsel by the Collins family.

The western counties ofMIssouri
by the census of 1880 had a popu-
lation of 1,07S,997. The present
estimated population ofthese coun-
ties is 1917, 705. This shows a
gain of over a half million In nine
years, the. exact number being $780,
708. Or, to show more forcibly
the immense growth, the sixty
western counties of Missouri lack
only As, 1915 to make them equal to
the whole population of Missouri
in 1880. If the same ratio oil
growth has been maintained in
the eastern half of the State its
population in 1890 will be largely
in excess of three millions.
