the tunnels pierce deeper into this i'm
mense body of ore it becomes richer in
copper, and experts believe that it will
prove to be one of the richest cope
mines in Montana, which last year pro-
duced almost twice as much copper as
any other state in the union"
With all it's extravagant claims, how
ever, there is probably as much merit in
the Wickes proposition as there is in sew
eral wildcat copper properties now be-
ing tloated on the Boston stock exchange.
Montana has had a remarkably clean rec
ord in such matters. and its copper mines
today are reaping the reward due to all
legitimate Investments.

registration Period Will End
Tonight.
PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN
Increase Undoubtedly Due to tho
Splendid Ticket Nominated by
the Republicans.

Inc registration books will close at 9
O'Clock tonight, and the officers of the
two districts estimate that the grand to-
tai will be $500 registered electors. At
2 O'Clock this afternoon the total was
S,O4O, with 4,216 registrations to the credit
of District No. 1 and 1894 in District No.
2. The judges of District No. l are of the
opinion that at least $50 electors will
register in that district during the clos
ing hours, while the officials of District
No. 2 place their estimate at 200 strong.
The registration fell off last year. ow-
ing to the fact that only aldermen were
elected, and very little interest was man
ifested by the voters in the election. The
registration in the city since the year
1890 is as follows:

THE ELKS' SOCIAL.

Frederick Warde scored a big hit last
night, the biggest of the week, as chair
man of the social session given in his
honor by Silver Bow lodge, B. P. O. Elks.
In Shakespearean roles he is artistic, but
in the chair of the social session he is
simply killing, and those of his admirers
who have not seen him in this merry ca
pacity have not seen him at his best.
Mr.. Warde was rendered an ovation
when he entered the hall last night. He
was introduced by IIalted Ruler Ben e,
Harris, and after a very happy little
speech proceeded at once to business by
appointing Archibald Gray lodge police
man, Dr.. Haviland treasurer and a cork
age mi consisting of Major DaW-
SON, M. M. Miller, Mark McIIllistrom,
Tommie Thompson, f.. G. Jones, Tom Kill
gallon, Captain Dawson and Ed Lynch.
The fun continued until a late hour,
and while there We're many who essayed
the lesser roles, MI. Warde was the star
performer.
The affair was in the hands of a COM
mittee consisting of Ben e. Harris, Judge
Holland and DR.. Bryant.

The best record of previous years, in
municipal registration, was in 1897, when
the mark of 6,0S1 was reached, but this
figure will be passed, when the offices
close tonight, by 2.400. Those who take
an interest in municipal politics are very
much surprised at the tremendous ratio
of the increase, which is due, in the minds
of many, to the good. clean ticket NOM
mated by the republicans, and the desire
on the part of the electors to bring about
a change in the administration of city
affairs. Then. too, in the past many re-
publicans, both silver II straight, have
felt discouraged at the strife manifested
etwee the two wings of the party, and
have not taken sufficient interest in
things politcal; but this year the two
wings, acting in harmony, are doing dou-
ble-team work, and are stretching the
traces in the audable endeavor to pull
the municipal band wagon out of the
slough of despond, where the democratic
mule has left it.
Many nave registered who will not be
permitted to vote. Among these is a
large number who voted in CenterVllle
and WalkerVille at the county election
last fall. There are also a number or
East Granite street residents residing
beyond No. 357, which marks the city
boundary, who have registered, probab-
" with the idea that they are living
within the city limits, who will be dlsap-
pointed on election day.

estimated that at an output of 800 tons
