WHERE is CANARY?
His Family and Friends Are Suspicious
of Foul Play.

Great Falls, Dec. 1.-Where's Canary?
Since Edward Canary left the paving
contract of the Second Avenue South
and dropped out of sight on the 26th
Of October, not a word mas been heard
Of his whereabouts. Many were of the
opinion that he had gone to Albert
Lea, Mimi, where his family is, but to-
day City Engineer Swearingen got a
letter from his wife al that place which
knocks that theory galley west. Mrs.
Canary says she is much distressed in
the matter and has not heard from her
husband since Oct. &c, dated from Great
Falls. She is much worried over his
silence and would be grateful to receive
any information that might lead to his
whereabo
This puts another face on the mat
ter, and Canary's friends who have
all along insisted that he had met with
some misfortune, are now satisfied that
they are correct.
On the 2Sth of October Swearingen re-
ceived letter from Canary in which he
said he was sick, and about that time
Canary was seen on the passenger
train from Benton heading this way,
and since that time he has been as
completely lost as though the earth
had swallowed him up. At the time
he left investigation shows that he
must have been in possession of at
iedsl SOVu III currency, ana II II pOSSlDie
that the possession of so large an
amount on his person may have led to
his meeting with foul play.
Another theory was that his mind
had become unbalanced and he had
wandered away. Some color is given
to this theory from his actions when
last seen and from the fact that about
a week after his disappearance a man
answering his description was seen at
station on the Great Northern near
Marias, and who. claimed to have
a paving contract in Great Falls. The
man was acting a little queerly and
seemed to have no reason for being
where he was.
At any rate, Canary is lost; his fam
lily and friends are all sure that he has
met with some trouble or foul play, and
steps will be taken at once to trace him
from the 26th day of October, when he
dropped out of the city. Canary was a
man about so, tall, spare, dark COM
plexion and wore a short dark strag-
Cling beard; he was about six feet two
and weighed about 165 pounds His
home has been in this city since 1882.
During which time he has been en-
gagged in contracting and building, and
he is known, by sight, at least, to al
most every inhabitant Of Great Falls.

Death of Frank Gilbert.

Great Falls, Dec. Frank Gilbert, an
inmate of the poor house, died this morn
ing of acute asthma. Gilbert was a cook
by occupation and was "a years of age.
Being in poor health and destitute, he APP
piled for admlttance only three days be-
fore he died. Nothing is known of his
relatives, nor did he seem to wish any
thing known of them. DIR. Fairfield, the
attending physician, asked him when 1t
was known he was dying. but Gilbert re-
piled that he had none that he wished
TO have informed, and passed out

IRON.

The principal pig-iron product coun-
tries are France, Germany, Great Brit
ain and the United States. In the quin-
%quennial period 1915, the annual av-
erage production Of France was 1885,
900 tons, and in the period of 1915,
2,0O6, 900; Germany increased from an
average of 1,946, 900 tons in the 1915
period to 5,0S2 900 per annum in the
1915 period; Great Britain increased
from an average annual production of
2,2S4, 90 in the 1915 period to an av-
erage of S,263 900 tons per annum in
the 1875 period. Commenting upon
these figures, Consul Constable says:
During this period it appears that
Great Britain and Ireland's proper
tional share of the worlds production
of pig iron has shrunk from 46.3 per cent
to 27.5 per cent, while on the other
hand the United States has increased
their proportion of output from 1871 per
cent to 300 per cent" The average IN
nual production of iron ore in the
United States in the period 1915 was
IA, 2SS 900 tons against 2.249, 900 tons
in Great Britain and Ireland, 11,679, 900
in Germany, $4,000 in Spain, and
1851, 900 in France. Commenting upon
these figures Consul Constable says that
the annual production or iron ore in
to have decreased from 16,0S7 900 in
1915 to IL, PAS, 900 tons in 1915; while
the production of the United States
which for 1876 averaged 1852, 900, av-
eraged IA, 2SS, 900 tons per annum in the

THE AiMPE,RE,

A comittee appointed by the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science, have made a new determin-
alton of the ampere, taking every pre-
caution suggested by experience and
the work of previous Investigators to
obtain greater accuracy. As a result
they find that a current of one ampere
passed through a suitable solution of
silver nitrate, will deposit 0.O011192
grammes of silver per second. Lord
Rayleigh's value usually adopted is
0.00l1lS grammes of silver. Using the
value of the ampere thus corrected il
the experiments of Griffiths, Schuster
and Cannon, on the mechanical equiv
alent of heat, the Discrepancy previous
ly existing between the figures found
by these eNperimentalists and Professor
Rowland disappears. With the old
value of the ampere there was a differ
ence of about l part in 400 in the values
of the mechanical equivalent of heat
determined by electrical and by me-
chanical equivalent of heat determined
by electrical and mechanical methods.

G ~PROSPECTORS.

Upon the rapidly increasing list OF
lucky prospectors and miners in the
Grand Encampment district must be
placed the names of Dave Boyce and
Robert Prosser. They have struck a
vein Of gray copper in a claim on Sol
der creek, near the south fork OF rlV-
er. At last reports the mineral vein was
eight inches wide at a depth OF 81 rect
As vet the real value Of the strike can
not be determined, but 1t Is the pest
thing yet discovered in that part OF the
district, and the ore is Of such high
grade that even though it Is a compare
lively small lead it makes the property
a good paying proposition. III the vein
increases in width with greater depth,
as the indications are that it will,
Messrs. Boyce and Prosser have a cinch
on the good graces of dame fortune that
will make them independent wNhih a
very short time. The effect Of this dis
coyery has been such as to cause d
great advance in the valuation placed
m properties in that vicinity ana 10
stimulate rapid development OF ad1oih-
ing claims. The farther results OF nv
Boyce-Prosser strike will be watcheu
with deep interest and we shall know
more Of IT in a short time. The fact Is
being more thoroughly demonstrated
oooh dav that no one part OF the dis
trict has all the mineral. Development
ia proving that rich mineral territory
extends throughout the entire district
and paying mines are being opeheu up
on every hand.
Iater-Parties from Soldier creek re-
uort this morning that the Boyce-Fros-
ser strike has widened o until now

ore. They are still going down on the

Red Oxide of Copper Ore Found in the
Morning Star-Beautiful Ice Form
alton Discloses Presence Of Copper
Ore-Mining Notes of General In
terest to the Public.

The largest valuable copper discovery
is reported by C. A. Finley. The dis
covery was made on the Morning Star
claim which is located within two miles
south of the city of Grand Encamp-
ment. Going down on a cropping Of
black quartz, at a depth Of IL feet. Mr..
Finley opened a vein in place, three
and one-half feet wide, carrying quanti-
ties of red oxides of copper. The vein
matter will nov average about 20 per
cent copper, and were there a mill right
here to treat the ore, the Morning Star
would be a paying mine practically
from the surface.
With the present showing no sum
less then 100000 would tempt the own
er to part with the property. The shaft
will be sunk to a depth of fifty feet
without delay to more thoroughly pros
pect the claim, but 1t is the opinion of
experienced mining men but by the
time that depth is reached it will be
worked continuously as a heavy pro-
ducing mine.
This ore strike is closer to our grow
ing city thar any other discovery that
has yet beer made n is another
proof that the liberal estimates of the
vast extent of this mineral district as
set forth in the past were conservative
and well founded. Indeed, many are
o beginning to believe that the pre-
dictions of some optimistic m%ineralo-
gist, and mines will some day be
opened Immediately on this TOWNSHIP
will be fulfilled.
With new mines opening almost
daily on every hand is surely will not
be long until some enterprising com
pany OF individuals will seize upon the
excellent opportunity offered for the
profitable investment OF capital in
smelling or reduction WORKS, which are
SO much needed and which would
greatly hasten the development of hun
dreds Of the promising and already
valuable mining claims throughout the
district.-Grand Encampment Herald.

Of he hill where a small stream OF
water is always running. The water

ice some twenty feet in diameter which

STILL BURNING.

From parties who have visited this
city from Kemmerer and Diamondville,
we learn that the Diamondville mine
is still burning vigorously, notwith-
standing the efforts made to extinguish
the fire. The expressions as to how
long it will be before the fire is put out
are very vague and always accompan-
led by a shake of the head. AT present
No. 2 mine is being pushed, every man
being employed who can work to ad-
vantage. 1t is universally regretted
here as well as elsewhere, that the fire
has developed into a matter more SER
ious than what was first expected.
Rock Springs sympathizes with Dia-
mondville over the unfortunate condi-
ton in which u ne%ighboring camp
finds itself and hopes the present I'M
certainty may soon be dispelled by
the reopening and the working of the
burning mine. which has thrown sc
many men out of employment.-ROck

IRON ORE.

1t is interesting to know that certain
specimens Of magnetic surpass most
kinds of steel in their capacity or re-
tanning magnetism. "A. Abt has tested
specimens of magnetic from Mora
vicza, in Siebenburgen. They have a
greater degre Of remnant magnetism
than stel manufactured by the pud-
ding, Besselner, or Martin process.
But they are surpassed in this respect
by certain crucible stheels and by tung-
sten steel, a Westphalian specimen Of
the latter showing a remanent mag
netic moment of 62 units, as against 81
for diamond steel" "a for Reschicza
crucible steel, 30 for Martin steel, 15
for pudding steel, and only 3 for Bes-
semer steel. In 122 days a rod Of mag
netite only lost 1.5 per cent of its REM
anent magnetism.-Abt, Wied. Ann,
