HE BUYS A BIG PLANT
". A. Clark Nov Owns a Copper Re-
fnery.
1T IS AT ANSONlA, CONN.
The Gentleman Has Invested About
One Million Dollars in His New
Enterprlse-His Plans for
the Future.
1T IS AT ANSONIA, conn

BUTTE, March 2l.-Private information
has been received here to the effect that
w. A. Clark has purchased the large cop
per refinery, copper wire works and brass
works of William Wallace & Sons at An
sonia, Conn. The deal was completed
some days ago and it Is stated by friends
of Mr.. Clark, who arc in position to
know, that the consideration was about
81 100000.
The plant is a very extensive one and
its purchase leaves no doubt that MIR.
Clark has finally succeeded in arranging
to refine his own copper, which he has
been anxious to do for some time. 1t is
understood that he will commence ship
ping the matte from his United Verde
mines in Arizona to AnsonIa at once, and
that those propertie will be worked to
about their full capacity. The product of
the Butte Reduction works will also, no
doubt, be sent to Ansonia for final treat
ment.
The United Verde mines are second in
size and richness only TO the Anaconda
mines, and by working these properties
and his new refinery to their full capacity
Mr.. Clark probably expects that his out
put of copper will be large enough to at
tract some notice in the copper market.
MIR. Clark is quoted as telling the news
papers that he produces more copper than
any one man i'll the world, and now that
lie has refinery as we'll as the mines and
smelter. he will be in a position to play
the string out.
The purchase of the refinery at An
sonia is in direct line with Mr.. Clark's
intention, expressed some time ago TO
make no more investments in Montana
and to withdraw all of his interests from
this state in time. With his proposed
5000, 900 mansion in New York, refinery
in Connecticut and his mines in Arizona.
Mr.. Clark will find large proportion of
his investments outside of Montana.

Tho G.. %. 4. In Butte Having Quite a
TussIe
BUTTE, March 2l.-The republican pro-
tective association committee of so and
and about 80 other republicans held an
other meeting this evening in the office of
Wines * Wines in the Curtis block. 1t
was tho intention of the r. p. A. that the
meeting should be secret and confined to
the committee of 30, but those of the party
on the outside and in the A. Il. A. would
not have it that way and the meeting was
evidently packed.
When Chairman Pinkham of the city
central committee called the roll there
was fully as many present whose names
were not on the list as there we're of
those who answered to the call.
The meeting, however, was very har-
monious and everybody present was per-
mitted to have a voice in the discussion.
Primaries or no primaries was the rub,
and while no definite conclusion was
reached there was n very general express
sion in favor of primaries. II was decided
that the committee of so was not large
enough to take in all the republicans, so a
motion was carried to increase il to 100.
the extra so to be appointed by the city
central committee, and another meeting
Will be held Saturday evening at the court
house. when the question of primaries will
be settled one way or the other. 1t was
also decided to have an executive COM
mlttee of eight, one to bo selected from
from each ward by the republicans of the
ward. The executive committee will
carry out the wishes of the committee of
100 and DO advisory to the city central
committee.
The feeling at the meeting Tonight in
favor of primaries was ba sod on the ex-
DectatiOn that the discussion of the
trouble IN the ranks had been enough to
stir up and get out a sufficient number of
republicans to defeat the A. p. A.-Thomp-
son job. The anti-primary people, how
ever, will be out in force at Saturday
nights meeting and an effort will be
made to prevent the meeting from being
packed again by the A. p. A. republicans.
Nj. l.. Holland was chairman of the meet
ing and c. ID. French was secretary.
Among the new republican candidates
mentioned for mayor are j. II. Monteath
and ex-Mayor L. j. Hamilton.

BAD MEN AND BAD MONEY.
The Police Mads an Important Haul
Last Night.

Last Night.
BUTTE, March 21.-S. w. Currier and
George Perkins, alias G.. L. Nelson. were
arrested tonight by Detective Murphy on
a charge of counterfeting. A complete
set of counterfeiting tools was recovered
and the authorities seem to have worked
up a very clear case against the men. In
addition to a complete set of dies, two
moulds were found, one of a $40 gold piece
of the date of 1853 and the other of a sill
yer dollar of the date of 1890, both of
which bear evidence of having seen n
great deal OF service. The set also in-
cluded a crucible in which the metal was
melted and quantity of the metal from
which the spurious coins were made.
The metal is a white composition of
some kind and is of about the same weight
as silver. The bogus $40 gold pieces were
made from this metal and then gilded
over.
The counterfeiting outfit was found
hidden away on the roof just outside. of
tho window in Nelson's room at No. CPS
South Montana street. Three counter
felt 81 gold pieces of the date of 1858
reached the hands of the police last fall
and the city and federal authorities have
been had at work trying to locate the
counterfeiters ever since. A great many
bogus silver dollars have been floating
around the city recently.
Cufrier is locksmith on West Broad
way and has heretofore enjoyed a good
reputation. Nelson camc here only a
little over year ago and has been inter-
ested in the restaurant business recently.
He claimed at first that his name was
Perkins and that he came here from
Sioux City, Iowa, but he afterwards said
that his right name was Nelson and that
he came here from Denver. IL is alleged
that Currier sold the counterfeiting outfit
to Nelson about six weeks ago for $40.
Both men were locked up without bonds.

The following story of the Duke Of Well

q house where a man was experimenting
the laying of a new carpet.
"We have met before, sir," said the Duke.

"At Waterloo" said the man.
"Yes," said the Duke, trying to recall the
circumstance.

cided you could trust me, and I've never
seen you since until this moment"
The Duke smiled, and with an inquiring
look said:
"You didn't go on to Paris?"
"No your Grace, was carried off the field

Wooing in China.
[Net0 York Tribuae.l

When man in China desires the daughter
of q neighbOr as q wife for his SOD, he writes
to him as follows: "On my knees beg you
not to despise this cold and common request,
but listen to the words OF the matrimonial
agent, and give your honorable daughter to
my slave of son, so that the pair, bound
by siken threads, may have the greatest JOY.
In the beautiful Springtime l shall offer
wedding presents, and give couple of
geese, and let Us hope for a long and con-
tinued fortune and look forward through
endless generations TO the fulltilment of gen.
uine love. May they sing of plenty, and
have every joy. On my knees / beg you
to consider my proposal favorably, and throw
the mirrow-like glance of your eyes on
these lines"
To this the father of the prospective
bride replies that he will "attend to the
portion of his poor and poyerty-stricken
daughter, that she might not be without
bedclothes, cotton clothing, hairpins aud
earrings. Therefore it was to be hoped that
the couple would have constant fortune.n

a costly locket. He exulted over the bril-
liant addition to his exhibit, which would
at least do credit to the stock and add to his
repute.
The locket, especially, was a notable &C
cession, and he gave it conspicuous place
on the plate-g lass shelf of his corner show
window. 1t was oval in form, of solid gold
adorned with delicate bas-relief work and
dainty enamel. 1t was studded with
cluster of diamonds On each side. These
diamonds were clear and vivid, uniform in
size and quality, and of radiant depth.
"We ought to give that locket a name,"
said John Fontaine, as he stood by the win
dow admiring it.

his wrath.
Then followed silence, and he sat marvel
ling at the luxurious surroundings and the
mystery of his presence. The turning of q
key was followed by the quick entrance of
the hotel proprietor and Reginald Fontaine.
The ieweler darted forward to his brother
and clasped his arm; he looked into his di-
lated eyes and bewildered face, and cried
John! John! What is the matter :?
Where is the locket?n
The locket! John sprang up. His leth-
argy departed. He understood, and, totter-
ing toward his brother, fell senseless at his
feet.
Ten days later the French traveller ap-
peared. In vain Reginald Fon taine recount
ed the facts and urged delay until the
swindlers could be captured and the locket
recovered. The Frenchman only shrugged
and listened, and at the end repeated:
4" | must have a settlement"
Fontaine at last drew a check for the
amount of his Indebtedness, and the French
man disappeared.
Time passed. No trace was found of Bar
ton and his lovely vile. One day, in Lon
don, Reginald visited the Rogues' gallery at
Scotland Yard. He saw many faces there,
and among them those of F. F. Barton and
the French salesman who had left the
locket.
Although the police could not explain the
coincidence, and secuted his conclusions,
Fontane always believed himself the victim
of double conspiracy; that the knaves
travelled the globe with ample capital, one
placing jewels stolen abroad in the hands of
responsible dealers in small English towns,
the other following to recapture the prizes,
and the original conspirator returning to
demand payment for the loss.
But while he never placed hands or eyes
again upon the French traveller, he had the
satisfaction of adding his testimony to the
catalog of evidence against Mr.. Barton at q
later day, and seeing him consigned to
prison. The Versailles locket, however, never
appeared; but Mr.. Reginald Fontaine con-
cluded that his experience was worth the
e50O which it cost him. He deals no more
with unknown foreign manufacturers; nei-
ther does he trust valuable jewels among
strangers.-Yankee Blade.
