debt, full account of the debt with all de-
tails relating to it must be given. Tho
listing committee reserves the right to call
for additional information at any time
All applications to list property must be ad-
dressed to the secretary and be accompanied
by fee of S25, which will be returned to
the applicant if the application is refused
The officers of the exchange are: John
Paulson, president: Rufus L. Pratt, vice
president; j. Russell Jones. secretary, and
Howard A. Turner, treasurer.

Another Statement Of How Sudlow Lost
His Life.
A. Cristello who accompanied the remains
of Frank Sudlow, the man who was killed
the 9th ult. at Halls siding, on the North
ern Pacific, returned to Helena last evening
and brings further particulars of how Sud
low met his death. He said that when No.
II. the train upon which Sudlow rode,
reached Halls the engineer stopped partly
on the side track and partly on the main
line. The engine needed water and he took
it up to the water tank, six or seven miles
distant. On coming back he and the fire
man got off to eat their lunch and al
lowed a brakeman to fire up. No. ID, which
had orders to pass II, could not be stopped
in time, as the brakeman being engaged in
firing up was not at his post to flag the ap-
preaching train. The engineer of II was
discharged and the brakeman laid off tif-
teen days. Sudlow was totally crushed
from the hips down.

A company of Pittsburg men are now
about completing the purchase of some 49,,
600 acres on which 20 start operations this
spring. Whole townships of thirty-six
square miles have been bought up by oil
men. So that if Wyoming's fields are not
properly developed it will not be the fault
of the operators.

At meeting of the owners of the Alpha

creek, held in this city recently a new or
ganization was effected and the name
changed to the Virginia Creek Syndicate.
The debts of the company were all paid off
and fund placed in the treasury to carry
on development work. These claims are
on the same vein as the Homestake, which
produced SO largely in gold during the last
few years, and while they have not been
made to pay much as yet they contain
bodies of ore exceedingly rich in gold. The
lead is on high ridge overlooking the
main divide at the head of Virginia creek
and can be opened up at a great depth by a
cross-cut tunnel. "A VIM lately sunk in
the old tunnel disclosed some very fine ore,
and the work of exploring is still being
carried on.

Very little civil business was transacted

Patten was commenced. Patten was in
dicted by grand jury in October 1883, for
criminal negligence. He was engineer of a
Northern Pacific locomotive. On Oct. II,
in that year, his engine, while drawing
heavy train, ran over Henry Aggens near
this city. The evidence before the grand
jury showed that the speed of the engine
was greater than six miles an hour, and that
the usual warning Of the ringing of the
bell and blowing of the whistle was not
given. The case has been hanging on since
that time, but will probably be finished to-

Condition of Copper.

Engineering and Mining Journal, April s.:
The tone of the copper market continues
very firm. and the demand for Lake brands
is remarkably heavy, as is evidenced from
the fact that the stocks usually accumu-
lated at the lakes in anticipation of the
opening of navigation in the spring do not
exist this year, as almost the entire produc-
ton has been Immediately shipped by rail.
Bids 1414c. for large quantities have been
declined by the bankers, who hold the
remainder of their stocks for 141ac., which
figure is almost the lowest quotation of the
producing companies.
For Arizona and casting brands very
good inquiry has also existed, and the
quotations for such kinds remain un-
changed at 1874 @13hs for former and 1o5s00
los for the latter, according to brands.
A verdict for ,01S, 400 francs damages and
the costs of the action has been returned in
Paris in the suit of Gibbs Il Sons against
the Societe des Metaux.

The Centrifugal Concentration.

It is learned from Col. j. o. Hudnutt
that the Parrot Smelling company, of
Butte, is about putting in one of the centri-
fugal ore COMMENTATORS for the purpose of
saving the ore contained in the Stag. The
Toston Smelling company is also negotiat-
ing for centrifugal concentration, which
will be run in connection with the smelling
plant, concentrating the molten Stag as it
comes from the furnace. The new system
of treating gold bearing pyrites at these
works is said to be very successful. A
with the ore and by means of hot blast
the sulphur contained in the ore is made to
create heat sufficient to smelt the whole
mass and make it run out like water. BY
combining these two processes together,
the centrifugal concentration and the hot
blast treatment, a saving of at least one
fourth can be made over the old manner of
treatment.
