COPPER COMBINE
It Was Predicted Some Time
Ago by Us.
THE PEOPLE OF MONTANA
We're Told That Some Very important
Changes Would be Made in
the Near Future.
THE PEOPLE OF MONTANA

There is considerable contention in
Anaconda at the present time of a friend
" nature as to which newspaper was the
first to speak of the big copper trust or
combine into which all the large Mon
tana properties are believed to have en-
tered. The specials and Associated Press
dispatches to all the morning papers in
GLIDING a big one in Anaconda on sun
day morning We're in part about as fol-
lows:
Contracts were signed in London Fri
day which formally transferred to a
single organization practically all of the
larger producing Upper mines in the
United States. Among other properties
reported to have been named in private
cables were Marcus Days and the Clark
Bigelow interest in Montana.
On April 7th the Inter Mountain, the
great Anaconda news giver. came to the
front with an article which is coming
true, if not in its entirety, at least nearly
so. Prior to the writing of this article
people in Anaconda who could not find
employment We're leaving the town in
droves as the new city directory will
prove when it comes out. That the Inter
Mountain was the first to convey the
news to the Anaconda reading public
there is no question in this case, the same
as all other news of Importance IN the
Copper City. The article in the Inter
Mountain on April I read as follows:
To the people who contemplate going,
and there are many of them, it is believed
they are making a mistake for there is
every indication that the WaShoe smell
ter will be built and that Anaconda Will
be the great smelter town in what looks
to be a copper trust or combine in which
the Anaconda Copper Mining company,
Washoe Copper company or any other
compan in the combine will lose its in
dividuality. 1t is further believed by
nan in Anaconda that Marcus DAILY will
be the president of the combine which
will govern the copper mines of Montana.
This looks reasonable inasnuch as Mar
Gus DAILY and his associates are gather
ing in all the alua property and in
dustrieS they can secure at a time when
the town is dull and values are depreci-
ated. Under the circumstances and from
present indications the owners of prop
erty should not sell too soon unless they
are we'll paid. There seems to be little
encouragement for some to remain in
Anaconda with the scarcity of employ
ment offered but a change is looked for
and that in the neal future.

P SNAP SHOTS

The Union passenger depot was not
lacking for attractions last night on the
departure of the 7:20 o'clock train for
Butte. An must crowd had assembled
there. Several travelling men We're going
away, in fact more thar upon any three
nights during as man. months. This
fiat man. who was on exhibition for three
days was also going away and was fol-
lowed to the depot by a motley crowd of
youngsters. The conductor yelled "all
aboard gave the engineer the high sign
and the train was off. A sheep herder
with yellow curly hair, long sloppy over
coat and dilapidated overshoes came
rushing off to the depot and followed.
He was a good unner and caught it as
easily as he would a lamb on the prairie.
about the same time a travelling man
saw the train pull out and he too started
in pursuit. The crowd yelled go run
Bill run, ''iust a little faster" Such
remarks made the knight Of the grip hos
tile and he refused to run unde these
conditions. AS he sauntered back to the
depot the small boys told him he could
not run a little bit. A half dozen travel
ing men We're still on the platform with
grips in hand waiting for the Northern
Pacific train to pull out. They asked him
to take that train and then it dawned
upon him that he had made q mistake in
the trains. He was advised to study the
color of the cars on the different roads.
Others advised the employment of a guide
and so on until he was lost to view in the
high cushioned seats of the car he board
ed on his way to Stuart

THE NEWS In BRIEF.

A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby the plant, good will and SUBJ
%scription list Of the Livingston Enterprise
passed from the ownership of George Fl.
| Wright and was purchased by B. F..
Hoover, a newspaper man who comes
from near Cleveland, Ohio. The pur-
chase price is understood to have been
somewhere in the neighborhood of SO, 900.
The former proprietor stepped down and
out yesterday and the new owner assum-
ed entire control. Mr.. Hoover is an ex-
perienced printer, publisher and news
paper man and takes charge of a plant
| which is up to date in every particular,
| and will be assisted in the management
of the newspaper by John c. STUFF, VINO
has edited the paper for about ten years.
Mr.. Wright founded the paper nearly 10
years ago and has been one of the most
successful newspaper men in he state. lie
will probably leave Livingston and en-
gage in other lines of business elsewhere.
A deed was filed in the county clerk and
recorders office at Helena yesterday
transferring the silver sm2lters at East
Helena and Great Falls, the property, of
the United Refining and Smelling COM
pany, to the American Smelling and Re-
filming company. the smelter trust, a cor
poration organized under the laws of
tNew Jersey. The consideration named in
the deed was $4,000 and ''other valuable
consideration" The deed was signed by
Abraham S.. Hewitt, the president of the
United Refining and Smelling company.
There were $3.50 in revenue stamps upon
the document.
Governor Slni4h yesterday granted a
respite in the cases of William Calder
and James Eli Fisher, who are under en-
tence to hang at LewistOwn on May 5
for the murder of Farquhar McRae and
James Eli Fisher. The condemned mems
counsel are preparing a motion for a
new trial and as the district court, Judge
Dubose, will not be able to hear the mo-
ton before May 90, it became necessary
for the governor to order the postpone
ment of the hanging, since the codes do
not give courts authority to grant a stay
of execution pending the perfection of an
appeal. The governor ordered that both
be r%esTited until June 5. He issued a for
NAL order iii e ach case.
Three hundred miners are out of en-
plOynent at Wardner, Idaho as the result
of a demand for increased wages. The
trouble has been brewing for a long time.
In fact, there has been bad feeling ever
since the Bunker Hill and Sullivan re-
sumed after the strike of 1892 without
paying the scale Of the Canyon creek
mines. Sunday night, at the time for the
change of shifts, about $50 union miners
appeared at the Bunker Hill office and
announced that they represented the
Wardner miners union. which had de-
clared a strike on the Bunker Hill unless
they would nay $3.50 per day to all men
under ground and recognize the union.
Similar demands We're made at other
mines. Some of the properties have been
closed down.

Says tho Insureent Fire Was Heavy. but
Poorly Aimed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Acting Sec
retary Allen of the navy department
has received cable from Rear Admiral
Watson giving brief account of the
engagement at Subig bay. 1t says:
'Mandora discovered heavy gun
mounted opposite Kalaklan point, Su-
big bay; exchanged shots with Charles
ton. Sent Charleston, Monterey, Con-
cord and Zafro with detachment Of
marines and sailors from Baltimore to
capture and destroy. Attacked insur-
gent position 23d; after bombardment,
landing party carried entrenchments,
routed enemy and destroyed one l6-
centimeter Krupp gun. William Shep-
herd, apprentice, second class, Charles
ton, seriously wounded. Insurgent fire
heavy, but poorly aimed. Enemy's loss
unknown. Full report mailed"
The important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to obtain
Krupp guns. 1t was known at the time
of the outbreak of the insurgents
against the Americans that the artil-
lery of the insurgents consisted of a
few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards.

Every explorer who visits the Aus
tralasian islands discovers new kind
Of cassowary. None Of these birds
possesses any wings to speak Of, and
their bodies are. clothed with dense
masses of curious, hairlikc feathers.
According to a recent traveller, these
feathers are put to q very remarkable
use.
When a cassowary feels hungry-so
the legend runs-it wades out into q
stream until only it's head and neck arc
above water and spreads out it's long
plumcs on either side. Numbers of un-
sophisticated little fishes Immediately
mistake these for a new kind Of water
weed and nestle contidingly up to the
motlonless cassowary for shelter.
Then that artful bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body, walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank; so that he not
only enjoys a delightful bath, but OBJ
tains an excellent meal into the bar

Mustered Out.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-It was
come and go at the volunteer camp at
the Preside during the day The Mon
tana regiment came up from the trans
port while the North Dakota and Idaho
regiments were being mustered out.
The Idaho men made for the ferry as
soon as they had concluded their busi-
ness with the paymaster and started
east on special train which left Oak
land at 9p. IN. The North Dakotans
also left on special train.
Soldiers of all grades were paid off,
the ranking officer to be mustered out
being Il lieutenant colonel. They re-
received all the way from $3.50 to s., OOO
each for five months pay and travel
and clothing allowance. They were
paid in crisp $40 gold notes, silver be-
ing used only for the purpose Of change.
AS every private signed his receipt
and received his clearance papers he
proceeded to throw off the irksome dis.
cipline of the last II months, called the
officers by their first names and guyed
their superiors numerically. All the
badinage was taken in good part, how.
ever, and both regiments ceased their
official existence in the happiest spirit
imaginable.

The Rat That Sailed,

A rat was caught alive on board
naval vessel in trap, and the beast
was thrown from the trap into the wa
ter without being killed. A large gull
that was following in the wake Of the
ship to pick up scraps Of food thrown
overheard by the steward swooped
several times, endcavoring to pick tho
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed
it by the neck. After short fight the
rat succeeded in killing the bird. When
the gull was dead, the rat scrambled
upon the birds body, and, hoisting one
wing as a sail and using the other as
Il rudder, succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether the rat reached shore
or not is the question, since the ship
soon got out of sight Of the skipper
and its craft.
