spring, when he got letter from him
dated in the Arizona mining district,
asking that he send transportation for
him. as he was broke and couldn't ride
freight trains over the mountains.
Sitrobel paid no attention to this ap-
peal. A week later sitrobel got tele
gram from Arthur, dated at small
town in Nebraska. The base ball mag
nate figured that his catcher had in
vested what money lie had in a railroad
ticket and got ais far as Nebraska.

bel says he will wait until Arthur gets
a few hundred miles closer to Toledo
before he invests.

MADISON U N MINES.

Madlsonian: In a placer mining way the
shadows which ~foretell of the future are
such as would make glad the heart of any
one interested in Madison county. Costly
experiments. extending over two seasons,
have demonstrated that below the mouth
of Alder gulch, up the gulch and up the
Ruby valley are auriferous deposits that
will yield millions, and the season of 1899
will probably be marked by the construc-
ton of several large dredging machines,
something on the plan of the big Bannack
machines, with certain up-to-date modifi-
cations. Thu operations of the Conrey
Placer Mining company and the German
Bar company. the two concerns which have
blazed the trail in mechanical placer oper-
ations in the Alder gulch country, have, it
is said, been very successful. These COM
panies have put in position and been OPP
Grating two large experimental plants, and
before the season was half over were so
we'll satisfied with the results that they
fastened to acquire all the placer ground
that was purchasable in their immediate
locality. These two concerns are practi-
cally twin companies, and are backed by
strong eastern capitalists. In addition to
the operations of the German Bar and Con-
rey companies, the season has been a good
one for the various companies in the gulch
better, in fact, than usual.
With the early spring it is highly prob
able that a big dredging plant will be in-
stalled on the Warm Spring creek d~iggings
Of the Upper Ruby, owned by I. w. Pur-
cell, Senator Foraker and other Ohio capt.
talists. Their experimental operations have
extended over a period of two years, during
which time they have demonstrated be-
yond the peradventure of doubt the rich
ness Of their diggings. Several hundred
thousand yards of stripping We're moved
during the past season, by hydraulic meth
DDS, and the ground is in splendid shape
for the coming years work.
In addition to these larger propositions
centering in Alder gulch district, are the

estimate, extensive, and awaiting only the

GOOD COPPER INDICATIONS
Placer Properties Will Be WORKED
On An Extensive Scale
This Year.
GOOD COPPER INDICATIONS

Joe Moffet. the we'll known mining
man, is in the city, having come in from
his property near Twin Bridges last
evening. He is very enthusiastic over
the future possibilities of that district.
With D.. r. Haskell and John E. Davis
he owns three full claims known as the
Malachite, Quincy and Red Oxide. They
are located in the Tobacco Root range OF
mountains and if surface indications
are a criterion by which to judge, Will
develop into bonanzas. In speaking OF
these properties and the district in gen.
eral today Mr.. Moffet said: w have
not done much work on our claims so
far, but intend to start in soon. The
character of the groupings warrant he
belief that there is a large body of cop
per-bearing ore below. There are nun
dreds of tons of ore on the surface that
will average s per cent. copper and some
gold with a liberal sprinkling of silver.
l have found oat that assayed as high
as 43 per cent. in'copper. DR.. j. E. John
son and his brother, Alexander. have
two claims there called the Mountain
View Nos. 1 and 2. On the latter a shaft
is being SUM 1t is now down about 100
feet and at that depth shows an eight
foot vein of ore that will average SO or
$40 in gold. 1t is the only property on
which much work has been done. The
water level has not yet been reached.
AT what depth moisture will be e%ncount-
cred is of course not KNOWN, but it is
thought at not less han 200 feet. Sew
eral people who have locations near ours
have had opportunities to lease them on
the interest proposition, but have not
taken advantage of the offers. They
think too we'll of their possessions at
present. If the locations turn out as
we'll as we believe and hope they will, a
town will doubtless spring up heal by.

magic touch Of capital to increase the gold

figures. The richne of the Gravel range
is. conceded; and the only difficulty
in the way of, immediate operations Is
water. 1t is proposed to bring water to this
field from the west fork of the Madison
river, which would involve the expenditure
of much money, but he who eats the nut
must first crack it. This canal would cost
approximately s10O, 600, but in addition to
opening up placer deposits that would yield
more than that much profit annually, would
increase the water supply of Alder gulch,
and the gold output correspondingly, and
probably make fertile a large area of arid
lands in the Ruby valley, which can never
be watered except from such a source. The
placer deposits of the gold belt of Montana,
while probably better in the immediate vi
cinity of Alder gulch, extend all over Madi-
son county, and with each succeeding year
the output will increase.
In quartz, operations have been extensive
during the past year. There are so many
splendid paying properties that to mention
each in detail would fill a small volume,
and even then justice would not be done.
Suffice to say that the various districts,
from Bald mountain, at the head of Alder
gulch, to the northern end of the Tobacco
Root range, have yielded handsome re-
turns,

COPPER INVESTMENTS.

The Boston Transcript prints a compila-
ton showing the extent of Boston's min
ing investments as represented by the cur
rent market value of the shares of the COPS
per, gold and miscellaneous silver and
quicksilver mining companies listed on the
local stock exchange or traded in on the
curb. The figures show the aggregate
value of the copper mining shares to be
$2O6. 600. 600, which compares with an aggre-
gate value at the beginning of the current
year of 800, Geo. coo, an increase of over 100
per cent. The gold and miscellaneous com
panies have a present market value of $10,-
GOO, coo and show a gain in market value
since the first of the year of about $780,
600. Approximately, Boston's mining en-
terpriSeS now represent a total market
value of $216, 600, 600. of which fully two
thirds is owned in Boston.

FOREIGN COPPER.

Messrs. James Lewis & Son. Liverpool,
under date of December 16, say: The mar
ket has been in a hesitating mood, the eff
feet of the existing small stocks being
neutraliZed by the fear of increased Amer
lean shipments. 1t is believed that con-
siderable bear sales nave been made in
London on American account in connection
with pending negotiations for contracts to
purchase in the United States, extending
over next year, at q fixed price.
The demand for copper keeps good. and
large quantities are going into consump-
ton. but production shows a tendency to
increase, and a further large quantity Of
American pig copper has gone into stock
here. The weakness of forward copper,
due largely to an excess of sellers over
speculative buyers, deters consumers from
purchasing more than their immediate re-
quirements.
Manufactured copper has been in less ac-
tive demand for export.

TO THE LADIES.

The yellow kids engagement in Butte will
be one long to be remembered His new
play "Hogan's Alley is better fitted to
his purpose than any which he previously
had. His mannerisms, his peculiarities, his
tricks of speech and action-in fact the
yellow kidism. without which the chief
charm of his performance would be want
ing, fit into the play without causing crease
or wrinkle, excepting always the wrinkles
of laughter. After all, the play is sec-
ondary. The yellow kid, with his drollery,
his jollity, his brightness, his sparkle, his
dash is the attraction. He has always won
his success by honest, hard work and true
merit, and is, therefore,, honored and re-
spected by all who know him. From the
time he trips upon the stage until he leaves
it he is the representation of all that is
winsome and lovable. Men, women and
children alike are carried away by his
archneSS.

A HEAVY INCREASE.
THE METAL OUTPUT WILL APPROXI-
MATE $57JOO, 900.

An unofficial estimate, made in advance
OF the formal and official reports that will
be issued later, indicates that the value of
the principal products of the state during
1898, including metals, live stock, coal, lum-
Der and grain, will be in the neighbOrhood
of $751;, WO, 900, which is an enormous increase
as compared with a year ago, says the
Helena Independent.
The value of the metal output will be ap-
p~roximately $57. 600, coo, an increase of more
than $3,GOO,OD when compared with the year
1877. The unofficial estimate places the gold
output of the state at $50, coo fine ounces,
which at $2O.67 an ounce, We're worth IS, POS,
$40. The output Of silver amounted to IT,
100000 ounces, which, at their coinage value,
given for the purposes of comparison with
last year, would be $22. 1888. coo. The output
of opper will be probably 240, 600, 900 pounds,
and at II cents a pound the value was $685.
100000. The output of lead is the only item
in which the comparison with last year
proves unfavorable. The product this year
will amount to 22,OC0, 600 pounds, valued at
$685., 0C0. The comparative figures for the
two years are:
