1t vas the battle of Pultowa, in 1909. In
this battle Peter the Great of Russia de-
feated Charles MI of Sweden Sweden,
under the Great Gustavus, had risen to
the position of a first-class European

the most beautiful homes in Anaconda,
at the corner Of Locust and Sixth %stretes.

BUCK THE ICE U

1t leaked out last night that the ice
trust in Butte is making business good
for the ice men in Anaconda, who have
already sold about Is carloads to a man
named Jacobs. Mr.. Jacobs, is is learned,
was formerly in the ice business in Butte
and understands the handsome profit
there is in handling frozen water. He is
representing a company which will buck
the Butte ice trust to a finish. 1t is also
claimed agents for the company which
Mr.. Jacobs represents has visited Deer
Lodge, Missoula and other Montana
towns and have purchased several thous-
and tons of ice. which will be shipped to
Butte in carload lots. thus enabling them
to buck the trust in a name that will
be pleasing to the citizens of the metrop-
oils. There is a rumor on the streets of
Anaconda today that the Copper City
will also experience a trust for the pur-
pose of raising the price of ice, but this
is denied by the ice dealers who We're
seen.

richer body Of ore has been encountered.
samples of the same not being assayed,
but gold can be detected in the ore which
was seen today at the tin shop of the
A. c.. NJ. Co., hardware department,
where Mr.. Ward is employed. The Spain
mine is situated at the head Of French
gulch, about two miles from the Big Hole
wagon road, and about three-quarters of
a mile from Mr.. Aliens placer mines. In
the early days of placer mining in Mon
tana French gulch was one of the most
prosperous amp in the territory. With
the discovery of valuable quartz mines
and the improved methods of working the
placer mines, French gulch is being pop
ulated again by the sturdy miners, who
will extract thousands Of dollars worth
of mineral from the old camp during the
next few years. Mr.. Allen is working his
placer mines with hydraulic machines,
and employs a force of ten men or more.
He has an abiding faith in the future Of
camp.

FOUND GUILTY.

Evans, on Mill creek; how they had cut
off it's head and hoofs, skinned the ami
NAL and disposed of the beef. He also
testified as to the disposal of the beef,
saying some of it had been brought to
town. Deputy Sheriffs Daily and Stevens

hoofs near the cabin and of finding some
of the beef hid about the cabin.

Butte Union Chooses Anaconda
for its Picnic.
MANY PRIZES TO BE GIVEN
And Anaconda Merchants Will be
Liberal in Their DOnatiOns--Will
Be a ROusing One.

Thu announcement made in these col
umns yesterday that the Miners union
of Butte had decided to hold its annual
picnic at Anaconda Lake park on August
20 was read with great pleasure by the
people of Anaconda. There may have
been times in the past when this park, as
we'll as the Miners union picnics held
there, were not as well attended by the
people of Anaconda as they should have
been. Things have changed his season.
An absence Of picnics and people at Ana
conda Lake park had a damaging effect
upon the merchants. saloon men, restau-
rants m hotel keepers, who have al
ready found out that to allow large pic
MICS leave the city and pass through it
Sunday after Sunday n on several
week days is not productive of any bust
ness for them at all. The city has IS or
20 restaurants, among them six of the
first-class. besides the hotels, which al
ways feed nearly half the people who
picnic at Anaconda Lake park, provided
they come from outside the city. The
feeding of so many people insures every
provision store, meat market and fruit
stand more or less trade, in fact it helps
every one down to the ice man. The sa-
loon men get their share of the business
and what is spent in the saloons does not
lessen the patronage of the refreshment
stands at the park. Wit a picnic at
Anaconda Lake park from Butte hum
dreds of people who have relatives in
Anaconda come down, who would other
wise remain at home. For every party
or family who will thus visit friends on
a picnic day in Anaconda, means business
for the merchants, because nothing is too
good for the people of Butte, n the
hosts, be they rich or in moderate circum-
stances, will feel better after it is all
over. The members of the Miners union
are coming to Anaconda for a good time
and the citizens and labor unions of this
plate should unite in making that day
one long to be remembered, as the largest
best picnic ever held in Anaconda.
The field sports INC other amusements
on that day will be of a very high order,
for which prizes will be given for each
event. The people of Anaconda should
be named among the prize givers, which.
II done. will insure them returns ten
fold.
