Mine Owners


Montana is expected to be represent.
ed at the Paris exposition next year.
The special agent of the mineral de-
partment of the commissioner general
of the United States to the exposition,
victor Heikes of Chicago, has been in
the city for few days. Mr. Heikes is
mere for the purpose of interesting mine
owners in the matter of securing for
Montana a creditable display for the
exposition. Mr.. Heikes said that Colo
RADIO, Arizona, Michigan, Utah and
Idaho would be represented and he
hoped that Montana would also show
what it is possible for it to do in the
line of mineral display. He said that
there was reserved large space for
Montana.
The mining palace will be loca ted at
the entrance to the Champs de Mars,
and is expected to be a notable feat
ure of the big show. Mr. Heikes will
remain in Butte until Monday, and in
the meantime will interview the mine
owners with reference to the mission
which brought him here.

For SEEMING Fish.

John Rovano, a resident of the Bear
Creek district, was brought to the city
yesterday under arrest for SEEMING fish,
he having been caught in the act by
Superintendent Miles of the water COM
pany. A complaint was filed against
Rovano in Justice Nichols court and
he was asked to plead. He said he did
not like to plead guilty, but he was
guilty, and as he wanted to get it paid
up he guessed he had better. The court
smiled and fined him S., which he

CASE OF SAFE CRACKING
Burglars Visit the Office of @. E.
Williams.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
the Office the Night Before-The
Safe Contained Nothing
of Value.

The first case of safe-cracking that
has occurred in the city in very long
time came to the attention of the DO
lice yesterday, when C. E. Williams,
agent of the Sweetwater Coal company,
reported that his office in East Front
street, at South Butte, had been visited
by burglars the night before and his
safe blown open. 1t was rather an I'M
profitable job, as the robbers got moth
ing. Mr.. Williams stated that when he
went to his office yesterday morning to
open up for the day he found the door of
the safe lying on the floor, clear across
the room from the safe. On examining
the safe door he found couple of holes
had been drilled just back of and above
the lock, into which sufficient powder
had been poured to tear the door COM
pletely from it's fastenings and throw
1t distance of about 10 feet The re-
port of the explosion was heard by
several people, but they could not To-
cate it, and the cause was not learned
till Mr.. Williams arrived at the office
The safe was completely ruined.
The matter was at once reported to
the police and, after an investigation

been seen in the vicinity of Mr.. Will
Jams office the night before, was ar
rested on suspicion. Bell has been fire.
quently arrested on suspicion of being
implicated in crooked jobs, but has al
ways been able to clear himself. The
officers, in making their investigation,
found part of the tools with which the
job was done. They were an ordinary
,f.,,, I,.1a md Irin Nh, l,,rr
glars had evidently made such a hasty
exit after finding the safe contained
nothing of value that they forgot to
take their tools with them.
James Burns, alias CrOnin, was ar
rested by the police yesterday for petit
larceny for the alleged heft of a rail-
road ticket worth $50 from one George
Wyandot. 1t appears that Wyandot
came to Butte some time ago and got
sick before he was able to secure en-
ployment and found it necessary to
send to his people in Kansas City for
funds to return home on. He purchased
a railroad ticket with a part of the
money and was to leave last Saturday
evening During that day he met Burns.
who at that time went by the name of
Cronin, and who made himself a good
fellow. They had several drinks to-
gether and that evening they We're
Joined by a number of Cronin's, or
Burns, friends and all hands started
for the train with him to see him off
On the way they had more drinks and
the result was WyandOt missed his
train. They started back up town and
stopped in a saloon to have another
drink. Wyandot says he remembers
nothing from this time till he woke up
at the McDermott hotel Sunday morn
ing How he got there he did not know
He found himself minus his railroad
ticket and his money and at once re-
ported to the police. Yesterday Detec-
tives Murphy and Ray found where the
ticket was sold to a ticket broker for
$12. The broker told the officers he
bought the ticket from Burns, who was
hunted up and arrested.

Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1899-02-02

There are, 1t Is estimated, 300 900
miles of highway roads In the United
States, about 20 per cent of the roads
Of all the world Great Britain has
100000 miles Of highways and these
are some Of the best in the world.
Germany has 275,0o0 miles Of roads, and
some Of them are as poor as the road
ways of a great country can be.
France, which has taken an enlight-
ened view of the good roads question
for many years, and has spent by gov
ernmental or local authority over
H,000,000,000 on highways, has a road
mileage of 100000, more than any other
country. Russia, with an enormous
area. has only 10000 miles of roadways,
while Italy, smaller country, has
$4,000. On fine stone roads one horse
can haul as much as three horses can
haul over an average dirt road of this
country. 1t is estimated that it would
be necessary to build about 100000
miles of macadamized roads in the
United States in order to have as good
a system of public highways as is found
in several European states. At $4,000
mile this would involve an outlay of
$4,000, 900, 900.
