The Levy Concert.


The Methodist church had a fair-sized
audience to hear the great Levy and his
concert company last evening. It was an
appreciative audience, too, as every one of
the excellently rendered numbers was en-
Enthusiastically applauded and a response
only would satisfy the delighted people.
Especially was this SO when Mr.. Jules Levy
appeared, and such grand music as he can
extract from cornet was never heard in
Helena before. His playing is above ortiz
cism. There is only one Levy, and the
music-loving public of Helena should not
lose this opportunity of hearing him, as it
may be the only chance of lifetime.
The other members of the company are
artists. Mr.. f. M. Shonert manipnlates
the piano keys with wonderful de1terity;
Mr.. w. j. LAWN and Nine. Stella Levy in
solos and Duets from grand operas by
noted composers. contribute in no small de-
gree to the pleasure of the entertainment,
and these are intermingled with pretty and
popular songs. But Levy is the great at
traction. Tonight there will be an entire
change of programme and Mr.. Levy and
his company will doubtless receive the large
audience they deserve.

BLUE Bird and PENN Yam.

A contract has been let for 100 additional
feet on the Penn Yam shaft near Wickes.
This will make the shaft 26O feet deep,
after which levels will be run and the big
tunnel on the Blue Bird probably be
started up.

all busy preparing for the seasons work.
A good deal of dust will be cleaned up, as
there is more snow than for several years,
which will afford an abundance of water.
Work on the quartz mines in that section
is being prosecuted successfully.
short distance below Diamond City
on high ridge bordering the
gulch, George Baker has quartz mine. de-
veloped by 125-foot shaft. The vein is
three feet in width, of $35 to $45 in free
milling gold ore to the ton. Some of the
ore extracted from this mine was shipped
to the Helena reduction works for treat
ment, there being no facilities for working
the ore on the ground. The country rock
is limestone and porphyry, and, judging
from the richness Of the placer diggings in
Confederate gulch, which was en-
riched from surrounding quartz,
mines many fine leads will be opened up
there yet. During the past winter Mr..
another lode higher up the hill, but has not
reached the vein. The tunnel will tap the
lead at a depth of 175 feet. Besides these
there are many other good prospects in the
camp.
James King is preparing to start up his
placer mine in Confederate about the 10th
of May.
One of the greatest mining enterprises
ever inaugurated in the state is being car.
ried on in Gravelly Range, at the head of
Confederate gulch. The top of the range
is really an old river bed, similar to those
worked in California. and many believe this

The channel is marked out perfectly
for long distance, and is SO satu-
rated with water that every effort to sink
to bedrock has proved unavailing. In order
to overcome this difficulty and thoroughly
several years ago with the purpose of run
ming tunnel into this old channel. Work
was commenced on the north side of the
range and tunnel run through solid coun-
try rock for a distance of 1900 feet, but
the main channel has not been reached,
the gentleman who inaugurated the enter
terpfise, however, have every confidence in
eventually striking it rich. There is plenty
of water in the old channel to work the
gravel if it proves to carry gold in paying
quantities. The parties interested in this
big undertaking are w. G. Bailey, of this
city, and Dave Rankin and Archie Nc
Gregor, of Diamond City.
Chas. Seabright and Chas. Bright, who
have been running drain for several years
on lower Confederate gulch, expect to strike
bedrock this season. The gravel pays
very we'll now.
BOULDER bar, consisting of 1876 acres placer
ground with water right, is owned by james
Sullivan, of Diamond City. This valuable
property will probably be sold to COM

The Milwaukee.

The latest mining enterprise in the great
Butte district is the proposed organization
of the Milwaukee company. Messrs. Gable
and Nichols, of Butte, are the promoters
and have secured ten days bond on the
property, which expires Wednesday, when
they are to pay the owners $15, 900 for quit
claim deed. They are meeting with fatter-
ing success in securing the necessary funds,
and nearly the whole amount has been SUBJ
scribed in Butte. Mr.. Gable came over to
Helena Yesterday and will to-day receive
subscriptions from those who care to en-
gage in the enterprise. Several prominent
men of Helena have already placed their
names to the list.
The proposition is quite favorable one.
It is intended to organize company with
900 shares at 81 par value and 5O,OOC
shares are to be placed in the treasury as a
working capital. The remaining 10000
shares are to be divided pro rata among
those who subscribe to the $4,000.
The Milwaukee adjoins the we'll known
Orphan Boy and Orphan Girl claims, on
the west, while only short distance beyond
is situated the great Blue Bird. No less
than a million dollars has been extracted
from the two Orphan claims, which are
owned by the Anaconda company, and the
owners claim that the big copper company
would like to get possession of the MilWau
kee. This claim is developed by 1OO-foot
shaft, with levels run east and west on the
vein, which assays from 20 to 20 and 11C
onnces, while it is claimed the surface CROP
pings assay SIS ton silver. The Milwau.
kee will be an assessable corporation when
organized.

THE SINGALESE TRIO
On Trial Before Judge Hoffman 70
Smuggling Jewels.

On Trial Before Judge Hoffman for
Smuggling Jewels.
P. A. da Silva, his nephew Marti and
secretary, the trio of Siugalese from whom
seizure of precious stones was made on ac-
count of the tariff duties having been
cvaded in making the entry at this port
were up before Judge Hoffman in the United
States District Court ON the charge of smug-
Cling. The three were very timid and clung
together in an effeminate manner on enc
side of the room, under the protection OF a
convenient official, while the lnfornei. a
compatriot, w. A. Amarsasingha, sat on the
opposite side, stolid in his efforts to appear
with stout front.
Owing to District Attorney Garter being
before the United States Grand Jury the
trial did not commence until Deputy Weller
arrived, after o'clock. The only witness
examined was AmarSasiugila. He used
good English, had very good pronuncia-
ton, but used some OF his idioms in place of
the English idiom. AS al instance of this,
he claimed that he mad not quarreled with
Da Silva at all, but that Da Silva had quar-
relied with him twice.
While on the ship. which arrived here on
September 18th, Da Silva, so the informant
testified, asked him 10 wear some of the
jewelry ashore. He did wear some, but a
handful of diamonds, another of emeralds,
some topazes, few moonst0nes and some
white sapphires were putin a box and car
ried ashore. The next day, While at
the Cosmopolitan Hotel, white man
came and handed the box of jewelry to Da
Silva in the presence of his nephew, secTe-
tary and himself, he being then employed
by Da Silva as his agent. This man, ac-
cording to his testimony, was an employe of
the steamship Gaelic, on which they came
from China.
His testimony at this point, though not
contradictory, was far from clear, aud his
answers to the searching cross questioning
to which he was subjected were evasive,
and more than once he resorted to the no
sabe" shield, used to such great advantage
by the Celestitls. AmarSasingha denied
being connected with the Salvation Army,
but admitted having visited it twice. The
trial will not be ended for. perhaps. two or
three DAYS vet.

NELSON'S BONDS.
Forfeited Because He Did Not
Appear in Court.

When the case of Nelson, accused of
libeling Judge d. G. Murphy, was called
yesterday in the Police Court before Judge
JoachimS II, Clarence Gray, Nelson's attor-
ney, stated the defendant was not present
A messenger was sent to the defendants
house to call him into court. The bondSmen
were present and sent a note to Nelson at
$40 Central avenue to inquire why he was
not present, but Nelson did not appear.
W. p. Lean, the detective, was called by
Judge Murpby's counsel and examined re-
garding Nelson. He testified to having seen
Nelson OH Monday at the corner OF Stock
ton and Market streets. He appeared to be
as well as ever then.
Clarence Gray read a document purport-
ing to be certificate from Dr. Simpson to
the effect that Nelson was sick at home
and could not possibly appear in court.
Both Judge Joachimsen and Attorney OAR
win accepted the letter as genuine, coming
from Mr.. Gray, but would not admit it in
evidence. The Court remarked that no
diligence had been shown in proving to the
satisfaction OF all concerned that the defend
ant was unable to be present lie would
order the bonds forfeited.
"Your Honor wont do anything like that
at this stage of proceedings" exclaimed
Gray. MY client is,a sick man and confined

ting three courts" was the Judges senten-
tious reply.
-Four courts, your Honor" added Judge
Murphy. Department II of the Superior
Court is upset."
Attorney Gray pleaded for continuance
until to-day, saying he would go out to
Nelson's house ana ascertain the reason OF
his absence.
II declare the bonds forfeited" said
Judge Joachimsen, ''and bench warrant
will be issued forthwith"
MANI"
II don't know that he is sick. OF course
the, officer will use his own discretion in
making the arrest, and if it is found that
Nelson is sick the forfeit will be set aside. /"
The case will be taken up at IL o'clock
this morning.
A policeman went to Nelson's house with
a warrant and found him in bed. On that
account all proceedings were sta yed tenn
DUrarily.

MARRIAGE ANNULLkD.
Paralysis Palmed OF for Lovesickuess OF
N COu6diog Man,

Paralysis Palmed OF for Lovesickuess on
Confiding Man.
The marriage Of Frederick A. Koetitz
with Ella L. Koettitz was declared
annulled by Judge Wallace yesterday
ON the ground that the defendant
was physically unable of entering the mar
rage state. The unhappy husband proved
that his wife was thrust upon him by her
mother and physician who knew she was
in semi-paralytic con dition, and that she
could never recover. He did not feel for
her the affection which he thought hus-
band ought 10 have for his wife, but accept
ed her because he was told that her sickness
came from excessive love of him, and that
the only way to secure her return to health
was for him to wed her. After the marriage
he devoted about ten years Of his life to the
effort to cure her, but without avail. He
employed more than dozen eminent doc
tors in some of the largest cities of the
country and with her visited all the noted
springs and sanitariums, but nothing seemed
to help her.
1t was only after he learned that she con-
fessed the duplicity Of herself and her moth
er. and that in fact she loved another man,
who was too poor to provide her with the
luxuries which her feeble state made re-
quisite, that he was at last led to Institute
proceedings to annul the marriage.
