Some of the glad young people of the
South Side have a new game. 1t may
not be SO new either, but it always has
a fresh interest because in this game
every players knowledge Of current
events can be tested. Each one playing
the game has a slip of paper bearing the
name of some we'll known mar or woman
pinned squarely in the middle of his
back. He cannot see the card, but all of
the other players can. They address GER
tain remarks to him and ask questions,
and from the nature of these remarks
and questions he is supposed to guess
who he is-that is, what name is on his
back.
Sometimes it does not require much
Of a tip to enable a person to guess the
name. For instance, the other evening
one of the players was told, ''You ought
to get your side whiskers trimmed. "
Immediately he said, II must be Wash

Another player who was told that he
would probably like Washington better
than Chicago at once made the shrewd
guess that he was Lyman j. Gage.

THE BROADWATER MINES.
Rich Silver Property at Neihart
Leased to the L. :. X II.
Company.
A Great Ore Producer.

A change has taken place in the man.
agement of the Broadwatcr mines, they
having passed under a lease to the Uni
ted Smelling and Refining company,
owning and operating silver smelters at
Great Falls and East Helena. The lease
is for a long time, and its life depends
upon continued operation of the mines,
of silver. 1t is believed that this change
will be advantageous to the owners of
the Broadwater, as well as to the people
of Neihart.
Speaking to Mr.. F. NJ. Smith, the rep
resentative of the smelling company, of
the change, that gentleman vouchsafed
the information that there would be no
break in the progress of mining, and that
the aim of his people would be to take
out ore as fast as possible. He compli-
mented the people of Neihart upon their
pluck and perseverance, and spoke his
great faith in the permanency and extent
of our mines. A course adopted by the
U. S. & R. company, very satisfactory to
our people, is the retention of the local
officers, just as heretofore, and unless the
principals had chosen to tell of the trans
action, there are really no means by
which the public could have known that
a change had taken place. Superintend-
ent J. Fl. Henley has proved his compet-
ence as a mining man; and with a thor
ough knowledge of his profession he
links a sterling honesty and business in
tegrity which are remarked by all with
whom he has dealings. He is a good
man for the place. as well as an excellent
man for the town.
Mr.. r. N. Jones, the General Man
ager of the B~roadwater mines. has
made hosts of friends for his company
by his wise and transformations direction
of local events, and the people of Neihart
are unanimous in wishing him well. His
actions have been characterized by a de-
sire to have everything connected with
his business run smoothly parallel to the
best interests of the people of Neihart.
He desires peace with everybody, and de-
spises friction between mine officials and
the citizens of camp. His manifest kind
disposition toward the employee is wor-
thy the emulation of all representatives
of capital; for a manager possessed OF
such humanitarian principles as his could
never have a strike. He would meet his
men on even ground, hear their grievance.
and endeavor to agree upon terms witt
them. His conduct as general manager
has produced a kindly feeling between
mine officials and the town, which unfor.
tunately did not exist in the recent past
In respect to this, Mr.. Jones indeed had
a bad inheritance.
For the month of August the Broad
water shipped so cars of ore, the large
majority of which were 10000 pound
cars, the largest size made. The output
for those 81 days will aggregate 2,26t
tons, or about 90 tons of ore for eacl
day the mine has worked. This is an eX
ceedingly good report.
Our best wishes are to the UniteC
Smelling and Refining company, tina
they may prosper in their enterprises
and that their Broadwater lease ma,
prove a financial ten-strike.
