MINING UNDER A CITY.
Rich Gold Bearing Rock Underlies the
Entire Town OF Butte.

One of the biggest mining enter
prises ever inaugurated in Montana has
for its object the exploration of the
earth directly under the city of Butte.
A company has just been formed with
A. j. Coram and c. ii. Palmer, of the
Butte & Boston company, at the head.
II has for several years been known
that the richest copper and silver ores
in the Rocky mountain country were
under the city. During the past few
years the fact has been frequently
demonstrated through excavations for
cellars and buildings. The principal
vein found is known as the Smoke
house lode and runs through the city
from the southeast to northeast, and
the big Butte hotel, the city Iall, the
Silver Bow county courthouse, the
First national bank and the Anaconda
Standard buildings and other large
structures in the heart of the city are
on the vein.
In Butte the purchasers of surveyed
ground do pot get title to the mineral
underneath and the surface title ex-
tends only to depth of 30 feet. When
the richness Of the mineral was first
discovered under the city James A.
Murray, banker and mining man, To-
Gated almost the whole city as mining
claims and fought the case through the
courts. and won. The new company
has secured lease on several claims,
one of them being the old Destroying
Angel, which has shaft near Main
street, the principal business street Of
the city, and they have begun work,
but are very secretive about it.
The men have unlimited capital be-
hind them and the plan is to sink the
old shaft thousand or more feet and
then run tunnels in every direction un-
1er the city and north to the city OF
Walkerville, distance of two miles.
The existence of the company and its
scheme has been known to very few
persons, but when the company be-
pan to take out rich ore after a few
days work the facts became public and
the people are much excited. 1t is
claimed that the ore body is larger and
richer than that of the famous Anacon-
do copper mines. The probable effect
OF the mining on the surface property
gives much concern to some people,

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.

A Recipe That Has Been Tried and Not
Found Wanting. s. "a,
A tested recipe for whole wheat bread,
which we are glad to note is becoming q
part of the diet of every well-nourished
family, consists of one pint of boiling
water poured into pint Of milk. Cool
the liquid and when luke-warm add one
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in
half a cupful OF warm water. Add
teaspoonful of salt and enough whole
wheat to make batter that will drop
easily from spoon. Beat thoroughly
FIVE minutes, cover, and stand in place
that is smoderately warm for three hours,
Enough whole wheat to make n dough
should then be added gradually. When
stiif, knead on your board until the
mass is soft and elastic, but not sticky.
Make the dough into loaves, put in
creased bread pans, and after covering
stand aside one hour. The time for
baking will depend on the size of the
loayes. IL long French loayes, bake 30
minutes in quick oven. II large square
loaves, bake one hour at a moderate
heat. When crusty bread is liked the
dough may be in sticks and baked in
pans made for that special purpose.
Another tested recipe that requires less
handling and that is used by Miss John
son is made in the following Scald

OF butter, the same quantity of salt, a
tablespoonful of sugar, and one cupful

be done in the morning, as the bread
riocs quickly. After making a smooth

TRAPPING PARK DEER.

Captured and Sold.

Capt Cassell, superintendent OF
Druid Hill park, says that Mr.. +. II.
Roebling, of Trenton, n. j., who few
days ago wrote that he wished to pur-
chase three deer for the park at that
place, will have to wait until there is
snowfall in Baltimore which will
cover the ground, as the deer at the
park cannot be captured except when
there is snow enough to hide the grass

oUher times their hunger does not com.

Whenever deer are to be captured,
the traps are erected just after snow.
fall A pen of boards is built 12 feet
high, back of which there is a door
leading to small hut. The pen must
be at least IL feet high, rs deer at
the park have been known. Capt. Cas-
sell says, to jump ten-foot fence. On
the floor of the hut corn is spread, and
amid the corn are arranged triggers
which, as soon as touched, cause the
door to fall, and the hungry animal
finds itself in captivity. In this way
as many as seven deer have been caught
in one pen in single night, that many

is used to attract deer, as they might
be afraid to enter q hut.
There is no use trying to catch them

sell. "For several days we have had
q peck or SO of corn dumped here and
there, TO see if they would come up and
cat it, but they will not go near it

wants two does and a buck, but he can
not have u buck, as we cannot spare
one. There are now in the park but
three bucks with horns, which means
three over Is months old. There are
some younger ones, but the great ma
jority of the deer are does. Every au-

bucks to keep them from mutilating
the young trees with their horns. Last
fall we shot 20. There is one which we
have spared for several years, and he
has now n beautiful set of branching
antlers, adding n branch every year.

by Their PARENTS
If we expect child to grow UP with
q knowledge of the value of money,
we must make it part OF his cduca-
ton. 1t is justas sensible to expect him
to appreciate a rare work of art, with
out ever having seen painting, as to
expect him 10 use money judicious!y
without knowledge, gained by expert
ence, of its value. Many young peo-
pie are spendthrifts when they come
into possession of little money, sim
ply because they do not know the pur-
chasing value of n dollar
Let the little one earn few pennies
by hard work, that he may know the
cost of them. He may spend part
foolislily. DO not we older children do
the same? Carefully explain to him
that, so long as he spends oil nc earns,
he will never save enough to buy some
thing greater. Get him TO invest his
savings. Show him the growth of his
cents into dollars. Teach him that
money used for present pleasure is
gone, and that he soon wearies OF his
bauble. Make him understand that
money is not elastic; that 100 cents
will buy just 100 cents worth of goods.
Let him buy and sell, and loan money,
TO yourself if need be, that he may un-
.tand business methods. Take him with
you to town when you go to make a
tradc-purchasc or sale. This will not
make him grasping if he receive the
right kind of training; it will make
him careful of little things.
Do not neglect the girls. You think
them eXtrayagant. How can they know
the difference between economy and eX-
travagarcc If they are never taught the
value of money? Give them a share of
something, but let them earn Il them
selves. Make it large enough to allow
them n sufficient amount to make all
ncedful purchases. &c their savings
ever so small, have them deposit them
in a bank, if conveniently near. Let
them have bank books of their own,
and make drafts, checks, certificates OF
deposit, etc.-Mrs. V. w. Lee, in Rural

that has it's eating houses in all parts

restaurants without avail, until finally
the trick was discovered.
1t was found that in each case re.
spectable-looking person entered the
restaurant and gave his order for din,

or more articles to the under side OF
the table, fixing them there by means

who paid his bill and departed to share
the booty with his confederate.
The way in which the trick was
detected is an instructive illustration
of the ingenuity Of the criminal pitted
against the superior skill of The detect

watch in 4 restauI ant in the Place de 10
Madeleine noticed the disappearance Of
some silver at certain table. He had
the diner searched with the usual re-
suit, and was compelled to tender his
profuse apologies to the indignant
guest.
Returning TO the table in no very
good humor, the disciple of Lecocq seat

and buried his face in newspaper.
