A SCARCITY OF WATER
The Supply for Butte Is Threat
ened This Winter.
A GREATER CONSUMPTION
An Enormous Increase in Its Use by the
People of Butte The Sources OF
Supply Have Been Diminished.
Blacktail Creek Cut OF.

The city of Butte is confronted with
the danger of scarcity in the water
supply this winter
There are two reasons for the scarcity
of water. One reason is that Butte's
consumption of water has been enor-
mously increased. The city now uses
nearly 100000 gallons daily. which is
4 vast increase over the consumption
of a year ago. Less of the spring water
has been used the past season, owing
to the fact that the city water has been
drinkable. Many wells in the city have
been closed up and each OF the many
new buildings erected the past season
has had city water pipes put in Dur
ing this fall the water company has put
in $50 new taps.
Then while Butte's consumption of
water has been vastly increased the
supply has been diminished The water
company's best source of supply, Black
tail creek, has been cut off. This is the
creek which furnished excellent water,
which was conducted by means Of Il
fiume around the reservoir and direct
to the city. This creek was the city's
best supply during the winter months.
Blacktai1 creek was owned by Mayor
Thompson and others, and while the
water company believed it had pur-
chased it and obtained the use of it.
the matter was in the courts. Recently
a decision was made against the water
company and the Blacktail creek water
was turned away from the city, the
owners declaring they wanted the
water for placer mining.
Since the Blacktail water has been
turned off the supply in the reservoir
has been steadily decreasing. With
Blacktail the sources of supply were
sufficient to keep the reservoir filled,
but with that supply cut off the other
creeks are inadequate to equal at this
season of the year Buttes consump-
ton. So the water in the reservoir has
been diminishing day by day until now
its level is seven feet below the reser-
vors top.
Yesterday the water company shut
off water from the Heinze concentration,
as 1T was considered dangerous to con-
tinue to supply tie concentrator when
the reservoir Is falling so rapidly. 1t
may be that supplies from other smelt-
ers viii have to be shut off
In order to meet the demand for
water the company has been sinking
well near the pump station on the
flat for use in ease of need Superin-
tendent Carroll yesterday took Mayor
Harrington down to this well To ex-
anime the water and SEE If 1t would do
The mayor sampled the water and said
it seemed to him TO be first class spring
water. 1t had good taste and was
clear, and he knew Of no reason why
il would not he satisfactory to the peo-
pie of Butte in case of need. The water

health officer to make sure that it is not
contaminated, The company began
pumping up the water from this well
last evening to help out the reservoir

MADE HER OWN TROUBLE.
Mrs. 4. A. Maggie Got Impatient with the
Delay of the Law

A complaint was filed in Justice
Traps court yesterday against Mrs.
Il. A. Maggie, charging her with forcibie
entry and detainer. 1t seems that Mrs
Maggie brought trouble upon herself by
being impatient with the laws DELAY.
Last week she began civil action
against Julia Deoreguish for ejectment
from the premises situated at No. 5l5
South Dakota street. The officer to
whom the writ was given apparently
did not move with sufficient CELEBRITY 10
suit Mrs. Maggie. So she accordingly
took matters into her own hands and
proceeded to the house and soon had
the sidewalk ofnamented with mfgcel
laneous assortment of household lares
and penates. To these proceedings Mrs
Deoreguish objected and hence Mrs.
Nagle's troubles.

 The novelty in manners this season is the eagerness with which milliners and dressmallers mob women who are wearing novel gowns from which they can get fresh ideas. and the complai- sance with which some well-dressed women regard the innovation. Such dress inspection is easiest at the the ater, and there is still a certain decorum about it in the evening; there was al- most necessity for the reading of the riot act in the vestibule before and after the matinee.
