GOOD HAUL FOR SOME ONE.

A Railroad Man Loses About 81 900 Worth
of Jewelry While Drunk. !Ao
There was another complaint of troll
ing" made to the police yesterday. The
victim this time was a railroad man, and
he says he lost $1,000 in jewelry and dia-
monds. A woman with whom he had been
living, having occasion to go to Great Falls,
left her jewelry in his keeping. Tying it
up in a pocket handkerchief he dropped the
nugget into his overcoat pocket. Then he
started out to do up the town. He declares
that he went into the Coliseum and was
drinking beer with some of the girls in one
of the boxes. He became unconscious and
when he recovered, the package of jewelry
clearly what took place in the box, but
declares his beer was %drugged. The
jewelry was not found. 1t is likely the
value of it was somewhat exaggerated.

The Castle Land Company is the owner Of
the finest and only desirable portion of the land
on which Castle is situated. On this ground, on
account of its excellent, high and level location,
will be erected the fine residences and business
blocks. Already a number of prominent mer-
chants have decided to build handsome brick
business blocks and a number of elegant resi-
dences on the lots they have recently acquired
from the company.
All kinds of buildings are in great demand
in Castle. On account of their scarcity those,
already erected are bringing fabulous rents.
The new bank just organized there, being un-
able to procure a suitable building, was obliged
to occupy temporarily a portion of the fine stone
store built by the Hensley Bros. and DR.. Rhoads.

One OF the biggest sales of Montana min
ing properties made in some time was con-
summated in Helena yesterday. The deal
was carried through by J. i. Smith, the
twell known mining operator, who placed
the Josephine and Ruby properties some
time ago, and who has never yet failed,
I where he has been handling a Montana
mine. of success. just 4 year ago two
Arizona prospectors, named +. B. Parker
and Oscar HodRden, attracted to Montana
by the reputation her mines we're making,
arrived in this vicinity. In May, 1890. they
located six claims in the Elkhorn mining
district and commenced work on them. AS
development proceeded, the claims looked
better and better, and q little while ago
the showing was sufficient to justify them
in claiming they had a mine. Nj. Smith
examined the property, sampled the
ore, and came to the same conclu-
sion. After some correspondence with
Tacoma capitalists, last Saturday he left
Helena for that city, empowered by Parker
and Hodgden to dispose of their claims. He
arrived in Tacoma Sunday night, formed a
COMPANY and disposed of the property
Monday. and on Wednesday night was back
in Helena. The claims are six in number,

Belle, Mogul and Poland. The price paid
for the claims is 100000, nearly half of
which was paid yesterday, the balance
being due in three months. The transao-
ton is one which calls for a money con-
sideration entirely, no part of the 100000
being paid in stock. The purchasers are
w. Il. Rust. F. w. Black and Richard
Briggs, officers of the Tacoma smelter, j.
p. Smith, Of Helena, and G. w. Boetcher,
of Elkhorn. The capital of the company.
which will be known as the Tacoma Mining
Co.. has been placed at 100000. No Off
GERS have yet been elected, but Mr.. West
will be the general manager.
The principal work has been done on the
Albion. though enough has been done on all
ore. There are altogether 500 feet of tun-
nels and levels, all in ore. There are now
100 tons of tirst-class shipping ore Of the
dump, and 1000 tons in sight. TIL ore, to
use Mr.. Smiths expression, 'is a physic for
furnaces" meaning that as ore for f1uxing
it cannot be excelled. 1t is an iron carbon

only about a mile from the Elkhorn branch
of the Northern Pacific, and a spur will be
built to the mine Immediately.
Chas. West, who has been appointed su-
p~erintendent of the property, left yester-
dav with a force of twenty-five men to
operations. Shipments of ore
are expected to commence in the next ten
days.

Round About wardner.

F. M. Frank, of Wardner, is stopping at
che Cosmopolitan. Mr.. Frank is one of the
best posted mining men in the Ceur d'Alene
country, where he is largely interested. In
connection with L. G. Phelps, of the Mon
tana National bank. and T. E. Collins, of
Great Fills, Mr.. Frank is now operating the
Omaha mine, near Wardner. The Omaha
is developed by two tunnels. One is 300
feet and the other about $50 feet. The vein
is from three to four feet in width. The
ore runs 80 per cent. lead and eighty ounces
silver. Eight men are employed on the
property and regular shipments of ore are
being made. Another good mine in the
same locality ia the Shannon. 1t shows
from three to three-and-a-half feet of lead
ore. and is developed by a tunnel in 100
Ralena, running from thirty to 200 ounces
in silver and go per cent. in lead. The
Last Chance and Emma, in the same neigh
borhood. has a large body of ore exposed.
1t is running its 100 ton concen-
traitor and shipping car Of con
centrates daily. The Stem Winder also
has a large body of good ore in sight. The
Sierra Nevada is shipping twenty five tons
of ore daily.
Speaking of the outlook in the C9ur
d'A!ene county generally. Mr.. Frank said
1t never was better. There are now eleven
COMMENTATORS IN operation and two more
will be built this season. In a week or ten
days the Bunker Hill and Sullivan will
start up its new concentration which has a
capacity of 400 tons daily. For five years
past" said Mr. Frank, ''the Ceur d'Alene
mines have turned out 800 or 400 tons of
ore per day, and during the coming sum
mer their output will easily reach 500 tons
daily. AS depth ID reached on these mines
they grow richer, and in five years we will
be able to supply the world with lead,
Burke, Mullan and the upper country are
growing better all the time. Larger bodies
of richer ore are being continuously found
in the older properties, while discoveries OF
new and good mines are of constant occur

sequently, while one person will claim that
one breed Of fowls is most profitable, and
assign reasons, coming to maturity early,
good for poultry, great layers for the food
consumed, etc, euOther writer will stontly
deny all these claims to excellence, and as
persistently manifest a preference for an
other variety. The fact is, all the breeds OF
fowls have certain points and characteristic
peculiar to themselves which others do not
possess. While one variety may afford the
best meat for the table, another may afford
the greatest number OF eggs for the food and
care required.
There is one point most Doultrymen agree
upon, and that is, that the smaller breeds
are the best layers, or, al least, if eggs be
the main thing desired, they produce more
in proportion to the food consumed than the
larger varieties. There are other breeds
that are good egg producers, seldom want
to sit, but for general farm purposes, where
hens have to take care of themselves nine
months of the year, are too tender for gem
eTal use. OF this class we should include
the Leghorn, the Spanish and some or the
later introduced varieties.
The fact is, breed Of fowls whose chief
value lies in reproducing qualities, IS not
the breed for the farmer to keep. Then the
question comes in, which breed combines the
best laying qualities with size. early maturi-
ty and good market qualities We unhesi-
tatingly answer from the standpoint Of our
experience with different breeds that the
Plymouth Rock comes nearest TO filing the
bill of any we have tried. There is not a
very great difference between the Barred
and White varieties. but our preference Is
for the Barred if the fowls are to be kept in
anything like close quarters. on account Of
keeping their plumage in better order.
The full blood Brahma cock mated with
our common hens and the choicest of their
pullets bred to the same COCK gives good
size and good layers, even better than
either of the distinct breeds.

The business of poultry raising, says the
American Rural Home. has come to be one
of great Importance, but the value of
poultry has bsen variously estimated, and
with greater or less degree of accuracy
according to the facility Of the writers and
their experimental knowledge.
The production of poultry for market, as
shown by the immense quantities shown at
all our considerable produce msrts, is evil
dence that this branch Of business occupies
an important position in the line Of country
produce. But 1t is not alone in dressed
poultry that we see the evidences Of the
magnitude of this business of keeping hens
It is shown that the production of eggs in
this country ranges from 800 100000 TO
700. OOO, 900 dozen eggs per annum. As large
as that number is it isn't enough and so we
imported last year Ii, 900 dozen. With
in i've years the average price OF eggs In
this country has fallen from 81 cents 70 less
than IA cents per dozen. This IS chiefly at
tributed to the incubator, which relieves tens
of thousands Of hens from Matching, and
multiplies the chicken product as we'll.
Regarding the value of this particular
branch of industry, writer's are somewhat
at variance, while there is wider range OF
opinion in their estimates as to which are
the most desirable and profitable breeds to
propagate from.
of fowls shall l keeps" but it is one that
cannot be satisfactorily answered IN all
cases. As stated above, there is a great di-
versity of opinion in regard to the merits OF
different breeds, and the reason or this Is
on account of the various purposes for
which different persons keep poultry. Con-

NAMING A TOWN.
The Father of Seven Red Headed
Sisters Started Auburndale.


Sisters Started Auburndale.
From the Nelo York Continent.
The town Of Auburndale. Wis, received
its name in peculiar manner. Years ago,
when that section was comparatively unde-
veloped and land was cheap, q man named
King located there and built a mill.
The place had good shipping facilities and
the mill soon became the nucleus Of quite a
thriving, busting little town.
Then arose the question Of a name for
the embryo little city, and by common con,
sent the right of naming it was conceded 70
the first settler, Mr.. King.
THE citizens wanted to call the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman OBJ
jected. He said he didn't want his name
tackled on to any one-horse or two-horse
village.
"Now, the old man was the happy father
of seven bouncing daughters, and the
villagers suggested that the name of one of
them should be given TO the new town.
This idea pleased the father as much as
it pleased the seven daughters, but which
one of the seven fair ones should be
honored above her six sisters? The town
could not be handicapped with all the seven
names.
Finally a happy thought struck the old
man. Every one of his seven daughters
was red headed. He decided to honor
them all by christening the town Auburn
dale, and Auburndale it remains to this
day"

II we take the mechanic, working in the
factory or the shop, he spends every day
pretty much alike, from the beginning 10
the end of the year If he is SO fortunate as
to have continuous emplOvment). Every
day he tramps ovor the same streets to his
work, at the same bencn or machine, max
ing the same fabric or rather part of
fabric, for it seldom happens nowadays
that an artisan completes a fabric. He
makes but part and passes the incomplete
article to another. and he does his part and
passes il to another, aud it frequently hap
pens that any common fabric, like a shoe or
a hat or a garment, passes through half q
| dozen hands before IL is finished. Even
building mechanics do not work on all parts
of building. Few could take the building
of q house and do all the work. Then there
are stone masons, brick masOns and plaster
ers. Undoubtedly by this minute subdi-
vision of labor every one is able to do his
particular part more eXpertly, but it can
not be so agreeable TO the labOrer or such a
discipline of the mind os doing all parts of
an operation.
1t is a very common thing for a farmers
son to think that he would like to be a mer-
chan. and sell goods, but we think ne would
soon find it very mOnctOnOus. Standing
behind the counter, showing the same goods,
day after day, answering the same queS-
lions, meeting the same objections making
the same explanations, using the same argu-
ments and persuasiOns to induce customers
purchase, it must become very tedious and
dwarfing to all the higher mental faculties.
And there is a great deal of sameness in the
experiences of teachers, lawyers, editors.
all professional men, from day to day the
year round.
The farmer may say that he has to go
through about the same round of labors
from year to year, with identical products.
True, the farmers labor does not vary
much from year to year-he plows, he
plants or sows, he cultivates, he reaps and
mows, he gathers into the garner, he
threshes and winnows and he markets his
products But, from day to day there is
constant change, for the face of nature is
continually changing and man and natures
united products are continually changing
in form, character and appearance, and it is
an education, it is a poem, this constant
evolution of natures products from germi-
nation of seed and bud, through Towering
and fruitage up to maturity.
And then, this close communion of man
with nature reacts upon his own character.
1t expands. broadens, deepens his mind and
ideality. He spends so much of his time
under the blue canopy, inbaling its pure
| atmosphere, enjoing its fragrance, revealing
in its beauties, that he must grow more
| rapidly and normally than the man who is
shut up all day in limited shop, or factory,
| or office and catches only now and then
| glimpses of nature between blocks of brick
or stone or wood. The horizon of the
farmer is much broader than that of the
city toiler, and the farm gives birth to a
much larger proportion Of the worlds

town.

oeolera and Indigestion in Fowls.


An eminent authority on poultry says
that many persons take indigestion to be
cholera. Indigestion is mostly due to the
lack of gritty substance. the food not be-
ing properly ground in the gizzard, and
consequently not 50 readily digested. 1t
leads to diarrhna and other bowel troubles
and is more prevalent in focks that are
overfed and fat than in those that are in
moderate exercise. The best remedy for it
is to give the birds plenty of sharp grit,
add teaspoonful of pulverized charcoal to
the food, once a day, for each fowl and
put lump of lime in the drinking water.
Cholera may be known by the
frequent greenlsh droppings and
great thirst on part of the af-
fected birds. Indigestion does not cause
the intense thirst which accompanies chol-
era AS the birds will refuse to eat, the
way to give medicine is in the drinkin &
| water as the intense thirst will cause the
sick birds to drink readily, they will par
take of any kind of medicine that may be
given in the water; hence, TO every half
gallon of drinking water add a teaspoonful
of liquid carbolic acid. 1t may not cure
it in many cases, but it is the best remedy
that CAP be used. A bird may suffer with
indigestion for weeks before succumbing
to weakness; cholera makes short work of
its victims and usually kills or cures in
| "a hours. though at times birds may live
two or three days.
When cholera appears remove all sick
birds and thoroughly disinfect not only
| the houses but the yards with a solution
made by dssolving a pound of chloride of
lime in four gallons of water and satur-
ating everything that q fowl may come in
contact with-roosts, nests, floors, yards and
even the walls-and repeat it two or three
times. Spade up the yards, cIeen up
thoroughly. burn all dead birds and use
every precaution to keep the disease from
| appearing again.
