The baldest swindle ever placed on the
people Of Montana was the Aborn lot-
terry. DIR. Aborn came from Des Moines,
Iowa, to Helena last fall and organized
the Montana investment company, which
was certainly polite title for a lottery
scheme. Montana at that time was one
Of the few places in the United States
whose laws did not prohibit lotteries.
The purpose of the Montana Investment
company was to rattle off the Aborn
house of Des Moines. an antiquated
hotel in prohibition town. The value
OF this old tenantless building was mildly
placed at 100000. Aborn cut a big
swell when he first came to Helena He
induced some Of the leading men OF
Helena to lend their names to the enter
prise and give it some respectfully by
consenting to act rs judges at the draw
ing, which was to come off pretty quick.
Besides that, he brought out with him
ex-Gov. Sherman, Of Iowa, which gave it
further respectfully. After awhile
Aborn and Sherman got into big quar-
rel and several facts leaked out regard
ing the scheme, and especially the title
to the property, which ought to have put
the public on their quad. The drawing
was to have taken place sometime in
January. but was postponed to March
30. Eeiorc :ha- date Dr.. Aborn skunk

fugitive from Justice. He issued sneak
ing anu lying circular saying that Mon
lana had become q state and that lot-
Eerles We're prohibited, but that the
drawing would come off at some other
5lne and place. The fact is that tho
legislature passed q law prohibiting
'uture lottery schemes, but allowing
hose already announced to have their
drawings.
The expenses OF the Aborn scheme
AVE been something enormous Its ad-
1ertisements in the dai y papers cost

The owners of the Little Dandy, of
which Carl Bergstrand is one have so
much confidence in their property that
they will stock the mine and endeavor to
sell 10000 shares at 81 each, for the pur-
pose of building q mill.

mine to the railroad. A new station on
the Northern Pacific will be created,
which will save two or three miles over
present route. The mine continues to
develop well, and, in the words of Mr..
Pardee, dividends are aow on the dump.
Guy K. Piatt, formerly with the Butte
Inter Mountain and latterly editor of the
Helena Record during the last campaign,
is now secretary of the Southern Cross
company, promising mine in the Cable
district. He tell us that mine is devel-
oping finely and will soon build a mill.
They are now down 250 feet and working
in rich ore. He further states that the
Cable company recently struck a good
body of $1,000 rock, which gives every
indication Of holding out.
The value OF mine is regulated by the
amount of profit it will produce with the
development it possesses, plus the value
OF the chance for continuing profitable
pr oduction with added development. A
prospect has value dependent upon the
more or less favorable chance that it af-
fords for becoming pay mine. These
chances vary under different circum-
stances, and are never the same in diff
ferent districts, of scarcely ever the came
in different prospects in the same dis
trict. Fixing the value on these chances
is difficult thing to do. The less ex-
perlence man has in mining the greater
value he puts On his chances. If miners
will understand these facts, and value
their property accordingly, they stand a
chance to sell this year.-Denver Mining

ment for Another Daughter of the Chief
Justice.
CINCINNATI, Aug. l4.--Charles Kers-
teter and Miss Marion Fuller arrived in
town from Chicago and registered at the
Burnet house. where they engaged the
finest set of rooms. They registered
from Chicago. The gentleman called in
a number Of prominent people, and ac-
companied by several friends they went
to Covington, KY, and were quietly
married. They returned to this city
and left in the evening for
Chicago. 1t appeared to be a
case Of elopement Of we'll connected peo-
pie and an investigation has resulted in
the theory that the bride is Chief Justice
Fuller's daughter. The groom is in bust
ness on La Sale street in Chicago. 1t is
only few months ago that Mr.. Fuller's
youngest daughter eloped to Milwaukee
and was married. The bride is tall,
very pretty blonde, and gave her age as
23 years. The gentleman is fine-look-
ing man Of medium height, with small
dark mustache and dark hair. He gave

Gives the Girls q On ance,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Acting Sec
retary Chandler, in his rulings, favors
the plucky Dakota girls who took home
steads. 1t was Sparks who objected to
Lessie Doran's final proof, and caused
her great deal of trouble. She had a
claim in the Huron district, and lived
on it faithfully. After making proof
she was married, and moved to a claim
adjoining with her husband. This act,
in the eyes of Sparks, stamped her as a
fraud, and he refused her proof. Secre-
tary Chandler reverses the decision. The
lady is now Mrs. Sutphin and still owns
the land.
