injunction would lie to restrain him
from collecting railroad judgement
taxes, and thought Mckee would
draft petition for me if I desired.
| answered Judge Bourn that We
had valid defense against any suit
he might bring to collect railroad
judgement taxes; that we did not
want to put him to any unnecessary
trouble as collector; that il was
satisfied that if we could by injunction

they will aid the movement that has
been going on for years in driving
trade away from this city by espous-

from this town in great numbers in
the past few years because theysswere

TO START III MILL.

Fine b Pankey Getting Ready to Work
Ore Frsm the Easton.
Messrs. Fine & Pankey have secured a
lease of the New York y Montana mill, and
will at once proceed to change it from u
dry to wet crushing and add concentrating
machinery. says the Madisonian. About
forty days will be required to complete the
work and get the mill in shape to start up.
In the meantime work will be continued on
the mines with renewed vigor. On the
Easton they are driving the three tunnels,
all Of which are in ore. They are in on
No. l now about ITO feet, and expect to
have to run eighty or 100 feet further be-
fol- it reaches the rich chute on which they
are running in Nos. / ana 2, but the faos OF
No. l is in i've feet Of ore, though of rather
low grade, still of sufficient value to pay the
expense of extraction and reduction.
They are not making an effort to extract
ore from the Easton at present, bat
are driving the tunnels ahead az fast as
three e%ight-hour shifts can push them. and
already have an immense amount of high
grade ore blocked out, which will be more
than doubled by tbs time the mill is ready
to start up. when there will be sufficient in
to keep it constantly running for
many months. On ths Utah Northern,
which Nessrs. tine & Panksy are also
operating, they have a four foot vein of
splendid ore, ono streak which is about
three and a half inches in width, assays
away up in the thousands in silver and gold.
Taking these two properties together, we
doubt if their equal in richness, extent. and
true insure character are to be found in the
state, and now that the fortunate owners
lave procured a means of reducing their
ores at home, their profits from Workin1
them will be simply immense.

THE FIRST COPPER MATTE.
The Boston 8 Montana Refinery at Great
Falls at Work.

The Boston s. Montana Refinery at Great
Falls at Work.
The great Boston 4 Montana plant be-
ran turning out copper matte friday,
says the Great Falls Tribune. and from
now on the daily output Of this metal VIII
be q regular occurrence. The first run
amounted TO about six tons. a small frso-
ton Of the capacity Of the plant when run
ninr full blast. Only one Of the eight
furnaces is used at present, as tins IS con
sidered more of a test than anything else.
When all Of tho furnaces are IN use, winch
will be yery soon, the smelter will handle
ahont 400 tons Of concentrates per day OF
twenty-four hours. Each of tho furnaces
will treat from forty to fifty tons OF ore
ner day, When the facilities for shipping
ore here from Butte are better the coneen-
traitor and smeltsr will he run at full blast
and the great plant can then be considered
ona AZ The permanent industries of the
town.
This Ia the only smelter in the country.
40 far as known, which uses artificial gas
for smelting. In a certain scnse it Is an ex-
periment and until the feasibility OF such =
fuel is we'll established the company 90 not
feel like running the plant to Its fullest
capacity. The first run has proved very
satisfactory and from all accounts 1t Is safe
to say the system will not be abandoned.
There is a copper plant in Natroona, "a,
which is run by natural gas and as that Is a
success there seems to be nothing II the
way Of using artificial gas. III conesn-
traitor is handling about tive cars OF ore q
day, or about one-fourth Of It's regular
capacity. Every piece of machinery III the
immense concern works like 3 charm from
the rock crushers to the vanners.
