The EASTON Mill
MON
DAY.
And 10 Working in . Satisfactory
ManneF-J. II. Pankey fl Charge
Tbe New Dryer-0ome Of the Egn
pl0yees.

The new Easton mill began opera
tions last Monday morning and a Mad
sonian mar visited the big plant Tues
day evening when everything wa.
working satisfactorily. Some few min
or difficulties have been experienced
but these, no doubt, will be overcome
,, in the r Of a few days under the
skilfull supervision of Superintendent
j. H. Pankey.
The mill certainly presents a pleas.
ant vision to those who visit it in the
evening. There is a bewildering null
titude of belts and wheels and bands,
and the hurry and hustle of the men is
very evident. The whole structure is
lighted by the mills electric plant, sit
uated in the engine room, and the ef-
feet thereof is pleasing.
The new dryer and other machinery
comes from the Gates Iron Works, Chi
cago. It will result in saving of four
or five mems labor and a. large per
cent of the valuable.
About 20 men are employed about the
mill Charles Kammerer and Henry
Hartman have charge of the engine
room and machinery; Lew Rooney, F.
Erp, and Joe McDougal look after the
pans and settlers: S. L. Potter and j.
H. Saul attend to the vanners and
crusher: Alphose Bromide and Henry
Dunn have charge of the rock break
er. rolls and ore weighing: Ed Edge
hill and Charles Cordell have charge of
the rooster department, whileA. Gamer
on is mill carpenter, besides numerous
other employees. In all possible in
stances old employees received the pref
erence when the force was selected.
During the past few days the mill
has made such heavy inroads on the
ore bins that it has been necessary to
increase the number OF teams to
freight the ore from the mine.
The Easton is certainly one OF the
best silver-gold mines in Southern
Montana. There is enough ore in
sight, we understand, to keep the mill,
even with its increased capacity, busy
for several years. 1t is in a fine state
of development Maj. Henry Filing is
back of this big enterprise and he is
giving it much of his personal time
and attention. He makes a trip to
either the mine OF mill nearly every
day. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
every dollar he expenas will yield
handsome returns, as such a condition
will quicken the pulse of trade in this
locality to a considerable extent.

From present indications, the num-

to Salt Lake and return August 9TH,
will exceed that of any excursion this
season. The round trip fare OF SIS is
very liberal, and there is no trip of the
same distance that can be taken with
go little expense. The railway CON-
panies have been asked to run special
trains out of Butte to enable the people
to procure baths since the hydrant

4 GLORIOUS END
DEATH OF THE EQUAL
RIGHTS CLUB.
II Repotcally Resolves ItseY1 Out Of
Existence in Order to Foster the
Ambitions Younger MembeFs-An
Bnterestfug Meeting

The Equal Rights Club held a pro-
tracted, secret and somewhat stormy
special session at the residence of one
OF the officials, last Monday evening.
The result OF this meeting is that the
young and vigorous society of one
short week ago, now consists of an in
tinitely small quantity of nothlngness.
as absolutely existenceness as an act of
oscillation performed 100 years ago,
and the pretty bubble of expectant en-
reimbursement of the coming woman of
Virginia City has gone the way of more
substantial fiesh-up the spout.
A portion Of the proceedings are pub
lished by request, and that portion Of
the account of the meeting which is
not published by request comes to us
through channels which we must pro-
tect r~get into trouble. If any mem
Der Of the society does not approve OF
the publication Of the facts concerning
the dissolution of the society, he. she,
or they can reach us by wire.a we in
tend to leave for Butte immediately
after the publication of this ISSUE.
The meeting was called TO order by

A motion to send a delegate to the
state convention soon to be held in Hell

parent that every member of the So
ciety wanted to 60. No candidate re-
ceived two votes.
This was the beginig Of the end.
The report of committee previous
ly appointed to canvass the feelings OF
the members relative to the perpetna-
ton OF the society was then read. A
bomb shell would not have created Il
greater sensation. 1t was as follows:
Whereas. it is apparent from .elis-

OF this community have threatened to

and

TEE REFoRM SCHOOL RIOT.

While there may be a good deal OF "nat-
ural cussedness'' at the bottom OF the riot
at the Girls Reform School, the affair
serves to draw attention to the oft-stated
fact that the accommodations at that insti-
tuition are altogether inadequate to the de-
mands madeupon them. Increased facilities
have been urged from time to time, but
nothing has come OF it.
The establishment was started upon too
narrow a scale. There is not sufficient room
to separate the girls as they should be, and
this one circumstance has a decidedly bad
effect upon the maintaining of proper dis
cipline. Then there is lack OF cells for
purposes or punishment, and in a general
way great deal is wanting to make the in
stitution as complete as it ought to be.
The equipment OF a reform school should
be complete, and arranged with view TO
impress those placed there under restraint
by the presence OF everything necessary
TO control them and reduce them to subiec-
tion, if they should feel inclined to be
turbulent. Inthe present instance the events
OF Thursday and yesterday emphasize the
nocessity for supplying what is now lack
ing to put the school in a proper state ofef-
ficiency, to prevent the recurrence Of such
disorders and to afford the means for
promptly queIling them, in case they should
happen.

RELIEF FOR THE POOR.

Two plans have been suggested for the
permanent relief OF the poor of the District.
The one involves the colonization OF several
hundred families on some tIact or tracts
OF land in an adjoining State, each family
to get ten acres. The other is what has be-
come known as the potato patch plan, re-
garding which The Times has already ex-
pressed itself favorably.
There are serious objections to the ten
acre-a family idea. The first aud most i'm
portant is its oXpensiveness. 1t is thought
that it VIII cost something like $40 600
TO put il in operation. The second objection
lies in the fact that having settled goo
poor families, many more hundred poor
families remain, and if they were TO be
provided form thesame manner there would
simply be no enc 10 the outlay. Another
objection is that il is not right tor .ic Dis
Irict or Columbia TO foist its poor upon an
Other State or community, either in pur-
suit OF some experimental scheme or in
any other fashion.
None Of these objections obtains in the
potato patch scheme That is simple, mex
pensive and practical Nor Toes It re-
quire the expatnatiou from the District OF
families who perchance have lived here
for years. That II is practical can not be
denied, for it has been repeatedly tried in
Europe and in this country, and in every
instance successfully. No great outlay of
money is necessary; all that is needed is
enough TO buy some farming impIementsand
potatoes for seeding.
Instead OF giving ten acres to each family,
half OF that, perhaps even less, would suf-
flee. II is believed that a fve-acre patch
would yield potatoes enough TO give a
small family all it needs for It's .,ysu use,
and enable il with the proceeds from the
sale OF the Teslainder 10 buy other provi-
sions. There is an abundance OF vacant
ground in the District OF Columbia that
caa be utilized. and the owners Of which
NO doubt would be willing TO lend 1t for
that purpose.
This plan Of relief does seem to commend
itself by reason OF Its simplicity ana mex
peusiveness, and The Times hopes that a
way may be found to put it into operation.

TEDDY" RoosByBLr's REASONS

Goodness Between Him and COMMISSIONS
Lyman, the Taylor Affair and Others.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt and
a reporter for The Times had a talk yester-
day afternoon. The reporter sought to
interview Mr.. Roosevelt on the subject of
his resignation, and the sensational story
that ii was prompted by dissatisfaction
with the President because OF his inactivity
i'm the case OF Recorder Taylor, whom the
Civil Service Commission has recommended
for retirement.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not averse to being
interviewed. He never is. During the in
view he ran the conversational gamuf,
from weather to war and pugiiism to phil
osophy, but on the very point at issue
Mr.. Roosevelt had nothing To say in words,
though ii was very easy TO translate his
manner
Ii was very clear that Recorder Taylor
is not an especial favorite with the retir-
ing commissioner, and il was also clear
that the course OF the President in thus far
ignoring the recommendations of the COM
mission is not approved of by Mr.. Roosevelt
Ii was clear further that the reason Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's resignation lay not in these
causes.
The real reason for the change is under
stood by the commission to bc that Mr..
Roosevelt has wearied somewhat of Wash
ington and has yielded to the pressure eX-
eIted on him to return To New York and aid
in The cause of municipal reform, which
lies as close TO his heart as civil service
reform
Then there is another factor, though not
a very potent one, which is that the rela-
tions between Commissioners Roosevelt
and Lyman have been a little strained for
some time. This statement has never been
made eX cathedra, but this is the current
belief among the people at the office of the
commission
Have you resigned because of the Tay-
lor affair."" blunjly asked the reporter.
Mr.. Roosevelt simply smiled very mean
ing s.llile, through which CLEANED two
stacks OF white chips, and said:
Now, you know very well that / do
not wish 10 discuss the matter of my resig
nation L have not as yet resigned Off
cially.''
or course, Mr.. Roosevelt had no views to
give as TO who his successor is likely TO be-

YoUNG's PERILous POSITION.

He Was Partly Drawn Into Compressed
Brick Machine.
Thomas Young, a workman in Richard
sons brick yard, on South Capitol street,
yesterday evening narrowly escaped death
and sustained a broken arm at the yard.
Young was working about a compressed
brick machine when a finger On the left
hand was caught between a pulley and
belt. IN an instant the man was lifted
bodily from the ground, and his arm
passed in the whiHing mass Of niachan-
ism.
he shouted to the engineer TO cut off
steam, and luckily the latter heard the
cry, and shut off the throttle Of the
large engine.
When aid arrived Young was dangling by
Bis arm from the top pulley of the ma
chine. 1t was found that his left arm
had been snapped above the elbow He
was taken TO the Emergency Hospital in
the ambulance, where his arm was set aud
be was sent to his home, No. Oil l.
street southwest, in the police ambulance.

FAR TOO FOND OF JACK-POTS
Why Young Society Swell Will Not
Be Married This Season.
Papa-in-law, That Was to Be. Found Out
His Prospective Son-in-laws
Weakness.

Some OF the interesting talk in society at
the present moment is in connection with an
engagement that hangs fire and concerning
which there isany amount OF conjecture.
Those who claim to be in the innermost
circles of friendly footing with the fam
lily, which, by the way, is one OF the wealth
lest in town, whisper about among their
friends again that the man who was con-
fidently looked upon by society at large as
one of the groomS elect of the present sea-
son, will never have the chance OF posing in
that capacity SO far as the young woman of
his present choice is concerned.
That is, he will not do so unless there
is very radical change in his habits in re-
gard to card playing. In word, the father
of the wealthy woman has heard rumors
to the effect that large portion of the
young mans time and money is spent in
playing cards, form of amusement upon
which pater familias does not look with the
least favor, especially when it comes to q
possibility of his own daughters fortune
being disposed of i'll this way.
In all other respects the match is all that
could be desired by an ambitious parent
ana 1T is in consequence of this very i'm
portant fact that society is looking on won
dering what viii be the next turn OF af-
fairs.
