The king of Khoean- in central Asia,
made overtures for the hand of the
daughter of the emperor Of China, and
his suit was favorably entertained.
But there was something from China
which he coveted even more than the
fair princess and which he had failed to
" in by war. So he induced his bride
elect to secrete in the long tresses of
her hair a number of silkworm eggs and
seeds of the mulberry plant when she
came to him, and in tbat romantic fash
ion was il that the culture of the silk
worm and the manufacture of silk took
its first step ACKNOWLEDGEMENT En-

STOCK WOOL INTERESTS GREAT JUDITH COUNTRY.

Receiver Woodbury. Reports Gilt Edge Prop

fGreat Falls Tribune.l

toiSoA ais AAtcatfS-I
L. s. Woodbury. returned the first
of this week from Gilt Edge with
another lot of gold bullion from the
Gilt Edge mine. He did not care tn
state to the reporter the precious
value of the shipment, but said that
1t was sufficiently large to pay all
expenses of operating the mine
After turning the bullion over to the
bank, he telephoned his representa-
tive at the mines to issue checks in
full payment of all labor and claims
against the company up to May /,
accruing since he took charge of the
mine as receiver. This means, of
course, that the mine has paid all ex-
peuses of operation, including some
expenditures for a new road, repairs
to the property, etc., since Mr.. Wood
bury took charge. Mr.. Woodbury.
further states that he is not only
confident OF making the property
pay i'm the future, but he expects
with good luck to be able to pay of
about 80 per cent of the old labor
claims incurred before his manage
ment on the first of next month, be-
sides meeting current expenses.
This exceedingly satisfactory re-
suit reflects great credit on Mr..
Woodbury's business ability. The
Gilt Edge property has gone through
some very rough experiences due to
bad management. 1t is now demon
strated that i'm capable and honest
hands the property can be made to
pay well.
