CITY NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Prominent Montanians Left Last
Night for New York on an
Important Mission.
Before Going Elk Governor Hauser
Talks on the Political
Outlook.
He Says the Democrats viii Win and
Favors the Nomination of Judge
Dixon, of Butte.

Ex-Gov s. T. Hauser. A. NJ. Hotter and
j. E. Gaylord were among tho east bound
passengers on the Northern Pacific train
last night. "We are going to New York, :"
said Mr.. Gaylord, Ito attend an important
meeting of the stockholders of the Parrot
nine. cannot tell you yet the exact ma
ture of the business that is to be considered,
but you may safely assume then when it is
consummated the attention of the country
will be still further drawn to the wonderful
mining resources of Montana. The output
of the Parrot is now 100000 pounds of
copper and 10000 ounces of silver per
month. Tho net yield to the stockholders
is $4,000 to $4,000 per month. Members
of the company, as you are perhaps aware,
own the works of the Bridgeport Copper
company, at Bridgeport, Conn.,, with ca
pacity of 100000 month. All our prod
ucts are treated by electric process by which
we secure an article as pure as lake copper
and which sells at about the same price.
We have great mine and the future has
still greater things in store for it," The
officers of the Parrot company are Frank
lyn Farrell, of Bridgeport, president; s. 7.
Hauser, vice. president; G. II. Pine, treasur-
er, and J. E. Gaylord, secretary and
manager.
Gov. Hauser was asked as he got aboard
the train with Messrs. Hotter and Gaylord,
for the latest news from Butte.
I'VE are going to beat them this time,"
said he.
"Whom will the democrats probably
name?" the reporter asked.
II havn't any idea," was the reply. "but
probably a west side man. My own first
choice would be Judge Dixon, of Butte. He
would be elected to certainty over any
republican who could be named, but any
one of half dozen other men could
carry the state this year. No, shall not
be here for the convention but
shall be absent only few days and ex-
pect to be home in time to take q hand in
the campaign. If Mr.. Daily consents TO
again take the management of the canvass,
and have no doubt he will yield to the I'M
iversal demand for his services, We shall
carry the state by a substantial majority"
John A. Torrance, the real estate man, is
great believer IN the power of manufac-
tories to build up a community. He says
that is what Helena wants. A cracker fac
tory or shoe factory, or both, he thinks,
could be started here on very small capital.
and be made to pay very large profits. They
would also, he says, bring a thrifty class of
laborers into the city, who would be con-
sumers as we'll as producers. There are
other enterprises. Mr.. Torrance thinks, that
could be started here with great profit all
round, particularly when the Missouri
river is brought to town.
A few evenings ago good looking young
salesman, who draws considerable trade to
the house where he is employed, made up
his mind to call upon one of his lady &C.
quaintances. He Is on good terms with the
young woman and her folks, and whenever
he makes a call at the residence is treated
as one of the family. Early on this partic-
ular evening the young man commenced to
make preparations for his call and eagerly
watched the flight of time. About $50 the
old folks retired to bed. The Young wom-
an had no idea that any one was coming to
see her, for by some oversight the salesman
had sent his note of announcement to an
other address, which will most likely be
heard from hereafter. A few minutes be-
fore nine the young woman stepped out
and paid visit to some friends a few
doors away. The hands of the clock IN the
parlor of the house she had Just left were
pointing to five minutes after nine when
the salesman runR the door bell. There
was no response. He tried the door. It
was not locked and he walked in. The
room was lighted up, but there appeared to
be no one at home. This did not worry
him. He removed his hat and light over
coat and finding sofa concluded to take
matters easy and await Developments. The
clock licked monotonously. In a few min
utes the visitor rested his head on the sup
port at one end of his comfortable seat and
stretched himself out at full length. He
woke up at 1l:15 that night. The lights
were still burning and the clock was tick
ing away. When he looked at the time
piece he was startled, to say tho least. No
one was in sight and he followed the first
impulse that came to him, which was to get
out. Quietly he made his way through the
hall and out to the front gate, which he
closed as easily as he could. He had taken
but few steps away when he heard slight
noise. He passes his leisure moments now
in trying to determine whether that noise
was made by the turning of the key in the
front door.
