Buys Montana Ores and Mines.

W. r. Rust, manager and the heaviest
stakeholder in the Tacoma Smelter COM
pany, is a visitor in Helena. Recently Mr..
Rust, in connection with other members of
his company and Mr.. J. r.. Smith, of Hell
ena, purchased the Albion mine, in Jeffer-
son county, for which the syndicate paid
100000. A big force Of men was put to
work on the property, and Wednesday Mr..
Rust went up to look at it. He returned 30
we'll pleased with his purchase that late in
tho day he started on another visit to
the same district to examine a property
which has been offered him. Mr.. Rusk
gained his experience in mining and mill
ing in Colorado, and under his MANAGE
ment the Tacoma smelter ia making a great
success. About sixty cars Of Montana ore
OF which comes from Jefferson county
mines, though more is sent from Rimini,
Missoula and other points. The Albion is
now a regular shipper, and increasing it's
output every week. AS Mr.. Rust not only
buys ore, but also invests in Montana
mines, he is verv popular among those who
are acquainted with his operations. 1t was
suggested to him yesterday that as he was
SO successful with his plant at Tacoma, he
should move it to Helena, where he would
be able to secure a far larger business than
on the sound. While he WAS non-commit-
tai on the subject, it is not beyond the
range OF probability to say that another
big smelling plant will be located near
Helena in the not distant future.

At the special meeting of the county COM

proved in the sum of $4,000. The sureties
are A. J.. Davidson. Peter Larson. w. A.
Chessman, Hugh Kirkendall, and j. l.. Per-
kina. Grant g. Whalen put in a proposal
to clear the lot on which the present build
ing stands in consideration Of the material
contained in the Jail building and the old
engine house, except the steel and iron
work contained in the cells. The upper
tier of cells we're donated to the city in con
alteration of their removal from the build
ing. The work of clearing the lot for the
reception of the foundations of the new jail
will commence very soon.
The county surveyor was instructed to
make a survey of the county road from the
west End of Hauser boulevard to a point
near Wass- Weiler's springs. IT is this in
tention to widen the road to 100 feet and
thus continue the driveway formed by the
Hauser boulevard.
The commissioners adopted the following
resolution just before adjourning:
Whereas, William A. Chessman, presi-
dent of the Helena Water company, has
very generously offered to furnish the city
water from What is commonly known as
Cheeseman's ditch, for the use of the old
cemetery. without charge, and has also
offered to fulnish and lay the necessary
pipe at practically what il would cost, or in
other words, without profit to the company,
Resolved, That we hereby accept the said
offer, III in doing 80 desire to express our
thanks to Mr.. Chessman for his liberality,
and we instruct Mr.. Edgerton to make the
necessary arrangements for Immediately
carrying out this programme and furnish
ing the old cemetery with water, the inten-
ton being that the mains shall run the
water from the water ditch to the cemetery
just below the surface for summer uses;
that there shall be three mains running
through the ground, and that owners epar-
ately or jointly shall make their own con-
n~ection to their various lots, and at their
own expense, the county merely furnishing
the mains and the water in them.
Hereafter all stationery supplies needed
by county officers will BE- purchased by the
county auditor. He will estimate the
amount required and ask for bids from
those desiring to compete.

Chicago Mining Exchange.

President Sheridan. of the Chicago Min
ing exchange, speaking of its pros
poets, said it was meeting with fair success.
1t opened with sixty members. There are
now 100 members, and about fifty moro APP
plications are promised soon. A certificate
of membership costs $500. But bids have
already been made for memberships as high
as $3.50. 1t is understood. however, that
proper parties can yet obtain membership
certificates for 500. According to the
rules Of the exchange the second hundred
certificates will sell for $500. As yet the
demand for stock in the large mines of the
country has not been large enough on the
exchange to Justify their being listed. A
few large mining stocks have been traded
in, however. Small blocks of Bimetallic
and Granite Mountain stock ave been re-
ceived from the st. Louis Mining exchange
for sale. The former sells for $32 a share.
and the latter brings $25.5O. The only out
side cities that have sent in orders to the
exchange SO far. are st. Louis and Mil
Waukee.
Speaking of mining transactions in gem
eral, a member of the mining exchange
said: ut is absolutely necessary for this
mining exchange to prohibit any wildcat
schemes from being foigted on the public
here through the medium of the exchange
II We hope to make the new enterprise a suc-
cess. 1t is easy to get out a glowing prospec-
o"o eA "t'SoN AAAio giving II Cupltttl
stock at 100000 shares of the par value
of 81 each, worcestershire. Treasury stock
100000 shares, every dollar from the sale of
which will be used in developing the mine,
and all that. Then they can tell about
tunnels. shafts, chutes, stamp mills and
about the fine bodies of ore exposed until
the mind of the gullible public becomes
inHamed with dreams of auriferous wealth.
All this can be don and yet the whole
scheme be an inviting trap for suckers.
But the directors of the Chicago Mining
Exchange propose to protect the public if
possible from the clutches of these wildcat
manipulators."
Of the two stocks listed on the exchange
the first day, IL of them, Diamond B, a
Colorado enterprise, has by order of the
board, been Withdrawn, 1t seems that A.
+. Beattie, president of the company, regis
tered $50, 600 shares of the stock on the ex-
change at 10 cents a share. Quite q lot was
sold and it developed that tie same stock
was being sold on the Denver exchange for
six and eight cents. The directors imposed
the duty OF Mr., Beattie of leaving enough
with the president of the exchange to buy
back all the stock he had sold at 10 centa
through the Chicago board.
