GEORGE F. wooLsToN's SUIT.
A Jury Dfsagrces ON His Cnse Agains
an Old Water CnmnanY

A Jury Disagrces ON His Case Against
an Old Water Company.
The suit of George f. Woolston against
Ben Benson and four other members of the
West Side water company was on trial be-
fore jury in Judge Sanders court yester-
day. Woolston claims he made verbal
agreement with these men that if no would
sell the property at stated price, they
would each pay him commission of 1925.
one member to pay $62.5O or total of
$56, 25O. Woolston having made the sale
and each man having received $4,000 each
for his share, except one who received half
that amount, he requested his commission,
but they refused to pay it. The grounds
the defendants set up are that
the contract with the company
and Woolston expired. even though
extensions of time had been granted. But
when the $99. COO was paid in the Merchants
National bank the deed in escrow made to
Geo. F. Woolston was delivered. Woolston
claimed that the paying of the commission
was in no wise predicated on the contract
as made in the deed, but it was a verbal
agreement between himself and the ipdi-
viduals of the company, who agreed, if they
received their price to pay Woolston a COM
mission.
The jury was out three hours and a half
and stood three to three and failing to
agree they we're discharged. After supper
the jury smoked cigars and played cards in
the police court room.

Encouraging Reports From the BIZ
Metallic Mine in Deer Lodge
County.
The Old Speckled Trout to be Re-
opened and Extensively
Mined.
Activity ON the Increase In the Unionvillc
District and vicinity-About
the Buckeye.

A great deal of attention is being paid
just now to mining in the old Knoxville
and Park City district, which in by-gone
days contributed more than six million dol
lars of gold bullion to the world. The Mo
mine, recently opened up there, has seven
feet of gold bearing ore, and all
the prospects in that vicinity are
looking up and more than fifty
men are now at work in the vicinity. There
is every reason to believe that Unionville
will soon be revived, as old-timers will
never believe that the Whitlatch- Union was
the only group Of paying mines there. A
little Helena capital invested there would
soon show that many properties fully as
valuable rs the Mo is proving to exist
there. OF late years people of
Helena have been putting up
money to develop mines in territories and
counties where Helena receives no material
benefit, while only few miles south of
here is a section of country with every indi-
cation of having large deposits of valuable
mineral. which if developed, would be of
great good to this city. Unionville is about
six miles south of Helena, and forms the
the foothills of an extensive mineral re-
gion, which reaches into the upper Basis
district. And Rimini around Red noun
tam is another section where money can be
judiciously invested and the results would
be directly beneficial to Helena.

The Buckeye Lode.

An effort is being made in Butte to revive
the Buckeye mine of Philipsburg. This
property was worked last in the fall of 1888,
but money gave out and freeze-out game
was begun, until now it is believed the
company has succeeded in freezing out the
the original owner. Ten thousand shares
of treasury stock are being offered at 25
cents for the purpose Of developing the
property, which is filled with water. With
proper development, the Buckeye, which is
on line with the Bi-Metallic, should prove
a valuable property. The ore is similar in
character, but as yet. not in richness nor
extent.

The BIZ

Work of putting up the machinery on the
Zeus, one of the properties of the Bi-Me-
tallic, is progressing we'll. The old boilers
used on the Blaine have been taken down
to the new working, says the Mail, and it is
understood that the engine, gallows-fram
and other hosting machinery in place at
the old working will be transported to the
Zeus and be put in position. 1t is ex-
pected that the machinery. etc., will be
placed and ready to start up by the 25th of
the present month. or very aoon thereafter.
The new Bi-Metallic hoisting plant and
building are rapidly nearing completion,
and it is the largest and best equipped plant
of the kind in the county. There is ques-
ton whether there is ore in Montana that
can excel it in any respect. When every
thing is up and ready for work, our people
can look for some great developments in
the Bi-Metallic.
The Bi-Metallic declared its initial divi-
dend last Friday, and as predicted in re-
cent issue OF the Mail. the amount was $780,
600, or % cents per share. The earnings of
the company now amount to something over
$685. per month. and as it is the inten-
ton to increase the reserve, only $4,000
will be declared in dividends to the stock
holders. There is no que stion in the minds
of any one who is at all familiar with the
properties of the company but what the reg
ular dividend of 60 cents per share can be
kept up with the present milling capacity.
Should there be an increase in the reduction
plant, which is almost certain to be the case,
whether it be stamp or a smelter, the divi-
dends can certainly largely increased.

The Speckled Trout.

While in Philipsburg, John Caplice ac-
companied the general manager of the Blue
Bird Mining company, of Butte, to the
Trout mine, where the entire forenoon was
devoted to a surface examination of the
property says the Philipsburg Mail. The
party found that the shaft was in water
from the 600 foot to the 26O foot level. and
that the shaft would have to be retlmbered
from the 400 to the surface. It appears that
the shaft was sunk the latter depth and
timbered with tagging, probably the only
three-compartment shaft in the state so
lined, and that square sets were only placed
in from the 400 to the stump. From what
could be seen of the timbering above the
water it looks as if reftting would be an alb
solute necessity, and such was the express
sion of the visiting gentlemen. With the
Trout shaft retimbered and pumped out, the
mine will at once step to the front as divi-
dend payer, having now three levels in ore
of excellent grade. From information re-
ceiyed through reliable sources it is
highly probable that a deal is on hand
transferring the Trout properties to some
Butte concern-in all probability the Blue
Bird Mining company.
