Butte never does things by halves.
When it resolved on having a easOn
81 opera, the town promptly furnished
the large guaranty that was demanded
and did not resort To any auction sale
OF seats, SO hat people of modest
meAns had as good opportunity as the
richest to enjoy the season of music.
The Juch series. which lost money in
seattle, Spokane Falls n other places,
vas a financial cce in Butte. In
deed, the receipts for last Thursday
night were the largest to the credit of
the Juch company, with the single ex-
oBption of the opening night in Port
land. The performances given i'm
Butte were thoroughly enjoyable and
the patronage each evening and at yes
terday's matinee prOves that Butte is
ready to give handsome support to the
best order of entertainments. 1t vas
announced yesterday that an engage
ment for the BostOnians can be made
for three days in May. The Bostoni-
ans give opera in splendid style and If
they come to Butte their season there
will certainly be a success.

AS regards a tariff on books, America
stands alone and unique among yhc
educated nations of n globe. Every
government in Europe, with one ex-
ceptiOn, admits books free. Even Rus
STA, intolerant as she is of foreign
ideas. imposes no tax upon the pro-
auctions of the printing press, al
though arbitrarily excluding such pro-
auctions as don't suit her medieval no
tons. China, cOnceited and bigoted
as her savants are in the fancy that

dangerous to have around i'm the
presence of the young and immature
China willingly permits the importa-
ton of books without a cent of addi-
tiOnal cost to the importer.
The single exception in Europe is
that of Spain, and her peculiar n
of levying tax upon foreign books is
worthy of note. She does not, like the
United States, fix n rate per cent. on
the first cost, but she adopts a much
more simple and expeditions method.

Coal in Mason County.

SHELTON, Sept 3.-Wm. Shooter re-,
Gently made big find and brought in
big chunk of the finest coal for examine
ton. Although the location of the fin6 is
secret, it is on the line of the Satsop rail-
road, and appears to be practically mex
haustible. William proposes to develop the
lind at once. Several parties here claim to
know where coal and iron exists in this
vicinity but as they have never opened it
up and taken any steps to have anyone
else do so, it has been no good to Shelton.
1t matters little now if the Carbonate
mines are closed up by the authorities for
spelling the river, for this find is more
easily brought to tidewater than any other,
being but few miles away and on line of
railroad.
