nected with the mine that he is manag-
ing. Mr.. Belden, with his brothers. has
obtained control of this property and is
developing il as thoroughly as possible.
All reports that come from il are en-
couraging and there have been several
offers mad for the direct purchase or
for the bonding Of the mine, but all
have been refused. as the prospects are
such that the owners are confident nat
the mine is worth more than has been
offered. Among those who have tried
TO purchase the mine are several Of the
prominent operators in the Occur d'Al-
enc country and they are still watching
the development with "A view TO possible
purchase. The history of the Rock ISL
and is one that Is familiar

the mine was attempted and the effort
was partially successful. 1t thus hap
pened that nothing was o on 1t for
some time till Mr.. Belden secured the
control.

and as it has been followed down, it has
steadily improved and there is now a
body of four feet of ore exposed for a
distance of 90 feet. The mine has been
developed TO a distance of SO feet, with
tunnel and shaft. There has been a
good road built from the mine half "A
to the railway and this will be complet-
at once. The ore runs from rs to so
per cent. in lead and from II to 20
ounces in silver. 1t also carries a small
amount of gold. There is some concen-
trating ore near the surface, but the
vein is getting Cleaner all the time.
There are some carbonates found with
the galena n the indications are that
the mine will prove 10 be "A good pro-
Queer. There are now 200 tons of smelt-
ing ore on the dump and a larger
amount of concentrating ore.
The ore will net $500 a carload and
there Is enough i'm sight to insure the
shipment of "a car a week. Belden
Brothers have obtained the ad-
joining claims and have a bond on an
other in the district. The property has

Till the Cows Came Home.

Missoula, Aug. 2S.-'Tell them I'm
the cowboy from Days ranch" was
the that a young man gave
hlinselt 10 the Gem concert hall people
saturday night. He didn't look k
hlucn or a Tighter. but il the managers
nad any doubts of his ability with mis-
dukes. they were soon convinced that he
was all right, for In less than two hours
after that he a knocked out four Ital-
lans and was looking for more. He
was "a Whirlw1nd and a tornado and a
cyclone all In one. He nit quick and he
MT hard. The Dagos dropped in rapid
succession and most Of them had claret
streams dripping from their noses.
There was not a scratch on the cowboy
and he surveyed the ruin that he had
WFought with complacency, looking
around TO see II there were any more
Italians in sight.
Wha started the scrap is not known.
III Is supposed thai the Sons of Italy
Jostled the fighter in some way and n
he took quick judgment against them.
Whatever ~the'cause. he did his work
wei. After the Garibaldians had re-
covered from their surprise and had
quenched the flow of blood from their
noses, they formed an offensive league
against the unknown and proceeded to
hunt him up. They did not have far to
go. He was waiting for them, and, to
their surprise, he addressed them in
thelr own language, Offering to pile
them all in the middle Of the street for
$50. They declined the bet. Then the
hghter turned to a Frenchman in the
crowd and spoke to him in his own
tongue. He spoke i'm Spanish then, n
again in good English. Finally, he
turned to a chinaman. who had been
attracted by the crowd. and spoke Chi
nese TO him. The celestial was surpris-
but answered in the same language.
The little fellow was a bird. He could
tax To any of them and in their "
languages. He ould fight with any of
them, and i'm their own style. He said
that he had been in the navy
on the Pacific and that he was not seek
ing any nOtoriety. He got it, any way.
Ills name he kept to himself.

the farthest removed from possible
raids by wild beasts. he was placed in

made in the open air. and was slumbcr-
ing as only a mombe of the 7. X. L.
a slumber. when he felt something
pulling at the bacon. He reused sufii-
ciently to discover that a black bear
was at the other end of the bacon and
at once decided not To contest the own
ership Of the pork with bruin. He did
not even wake his bed-fellows. but
crawled down under the blanket and
did not move till he heard the bear
shutting off through the brush. Then
he emerged from his cover and said
that he was much obliged that the bear
had not taken a fancy To his cad lie

The services were held, the hour being
