Exports from the Atlantic and Gulf sea-
ports were liberal. but not large enough

ported some inquiry from the East for
wheat. but generally at an unavoidable
price. One lot OF No. 2 red was reported
disposed OF early In the day. but at a
price not made public. December kept

the end and closed at 62izc. at which ns-

on any of them, and the ore which he
has here. necessarily taken from the
surface. but for all hat 1t is exceed
ingly promising ore. Two assays made
OF what he picked for average rock
have shown gold, silver and copper. but
strangely enough only a trace of lead

have looked at the rock have pro-
nounce II as carrying lead. One assay

as high as 75 per cent of copper. An
assay of rock from the Cracker lode,
which the party owns, goes IS in gold
and % per cent copper.
Mr.. Somes says that 20 many peo-
pie are going in there now. as the snow
is deep and prevents any work being
done or any successful prospecting.
Mcdonnell and Harris, Pearl Stark and
Hold Main, however, will put in the
winter developing their claims. and by
spring will have some ore to ship. Mr..
Somes claims that the country has been
systematically deprecated as a mineral
proposition. When the treaty with the
Indians had been concluded, a syndi-
cate of Montana men commonly known
as the Power syndicate. offered to take
II of the hands of the government at a
considerable advance over the million
and q half which they had agreed to
pay for II. Since their failure to con-
summate that deal they have spared no
pains to brighten prospectors and capt.
tai out of the strip in order that they
and their agents might get every pos
sible piece of ground corralled before
outsiders could TAXI IL up. Somes n
his party have been resisting these eff
forts and believe that they have sue
ceeded in their purpose up to date. In
the spring they propose to open up
some of the more promising OF their
claims for the purpose of showing the
mining world hat there is something
in the strip worth having. He will re-
turn to Blackfoot Tomorrow, where he
intends to remain through the win
ter.

Burglars Make a Haul In the Store OF
Louis solomon.
Great Falls, Oct. 5.-The first bur-
glary of any account which has taken
place in this city for many months
was put through successfully about 3
O'Clock this morning. Burglars entered
the jewelry and clothing shop Of Louis
Solomon on Second street south and
got away with about SIS worth of cheap
jewelry, the valuable part of the stock
being packed away In the safe. as is
customary in all jewelry stores. The
stuff taken consists largely of cheap
watches and washed and plated chains.
and will not be very easy to dispose OF.
The burglary would ordinarily be diff
cult, the place being situated as IL is
on a business street, but the Solomon
store is situated between the Progress
and Vienna restaurants, zach OF which
has a kitchen sticking out beyond the
back door of the jewelry store. This
back door was very insecurity fastened,
and IL did not take much of a push to
break IL in. Once in the store. the men
could keep bach of the front window,
which Is deep and closed In, and could
not be observed from the sidewalk in
front.
Just about the time the robbery must
have happened. a woman working in
the Progress restaurant saw a man
standing outside the back window, but
thought nothing of II. as tramps are
often seen in the alley looking for some
thing to eat. So little did she think of
the circumstance hat when Oficer Bis
sett went into the restaurant shortly
afterward she did not even speak to
him about II.
