TO EXPLORE The DEPTHS
A Tunnel Under the Business
Section of Butte.
1T HAS BEEN DECIDED
Remarkable Lead Under the Thornton
Block Settled the Proposition.
Sinking OF the Shaft to
Start at Once

1t has been decided to proceed at
once to explore the depths under
Butte's business center The remark
able lead revealed in the digging of the
cellar of the Thornton block has set
tied the matter. The erection of the
Thornton block will proceed as planned
and another location will be selected
for the shaft. 1t is said that the site
has been purchased and that the sink
ing of the shaft will be started at once
A company has been organized
known as the Smokehouse Copper Min
ing company. 1t has secured the min
eral rights to about all of Butte's bust
ness district and has enough capital at
hand to pay for the smk1n
shaft and the exploration of the leads
shown under Butte's business center
There are three leads that have been
shown under Butte's business center
All are called the Smokehouse LEADS.
They all run east and west and are
shown between Galena and Granite
streets and Arizona and Montana
streets.
The only exploration Of the mineral
ground under Butte has been by means
of the Destroying Angel shaft, near the
corner of Main and Galena streets. The
territory however, has only been ex-
plored northward under Main street as
far as the old Combination gambling
house. Nothing has been explored north
of there. There is scarcely doubt that
the shaft which the Smokehouse Cop
per Mining company will sink Will find
rich bodies of ore.

CARING FOR SOLDIERS WIVES.
Concessions Have Been Granted by the
Government to Many

Concessions Have Been Granted by the
Government to Many.
From the Buffalo Express.
The foreign service of the army of
the United States has opened again the
question of caring for women who, as
wives of soldiers, have been left be-
hind by the regiments that have gone
to Manila and an order has been issued
by the war department permitting
families of such regulars or volunteers
to buy fuel and subsistence stores
from the government at cost prices
for family use. This has been found
necessary, although the administration
of the new army has been particular
to keep married men out of the serv
ice.
THE administration of the army rec
ognizes no woman in its employ, save
the hospital matron," said an army Of
ficer yesterday, land yet, though 1910
married men have been refused by en-
listing officers, there are still married
men in the ranks to-day, with families
dependent upon them for support
This is explained in several ways
said a veteran army clerk. I'm many
cases the women left behind are wives
of old enlisted men, who were in the
service when, at forts and garrisons,
married women were allowed to live in
the employ of the government as laun-
with their husbands in the army, have
found employment in officers families.
Others are wives of men who, when en-
listing, swore falsely they were unmar-
ried. Then there are the irresponsible
young fellows who go into the service
unmarried but get tied up in matri-
mony soon after they are enlisted.
These cases are frequent. Although we
can refuse to enlist man if he is mar
ried there is no power to stop man
from marrying after he is enlisted if
he so desires. / think the powers that
be wish there was.
THE order granted by the war de-
partment," the clerk continued, lis
merely a continuation of the order af-
fecting officers, which allows them the
same privilege. You see. the commits
sary stores for the entire army are
really bought by one head and dis
tributed to the different departments
and posts. An officer in the field, for
instance, if he so chose, could buy his
fuel and subsistence stores at Manila
for the same price as an officer on duty
in Washington, although the depart
ment loses money in transportation.
All of these stores, you must under
stand, must be bought at the nearest
army post. No one but the govern
ment is selling groceries and supplies
at cost prices. Really, the new order
is merely an extension of privileges
long enjoyed among officers to enlisted
men"

CLIP BAeY'S HAIR.
Short Locks Best Both for Comfort and
Cleanliness.

Short Locks Best Both for Comfort and
Cleanliness.
Many mothers insist upon allowing their
infants hair to grow long. ut makes
darling look SO cute" they say They do
not consider the discomfort a child suf-
fers especially in warm weather, nor do
they seem to realize that the hair serves
a trap for the dust and SCOT that are
found even in the most carefully cleansed
localities.
In taking care Of the infants hair it is
necessary to remember how delicate and
sensitive the scalp of little child is, and
also that the bones Of the skull do not
close till nearly the end of the second
year of life, so that pouring anything hot
upon it or applying alcohol, as is some
times done. may easily affect the brain in
juriously.
At first a baby's head should be washed
every morning with some good soap. If
Scurvy spots appear on they should be
gently rubbed with a little vaselne or
salad oil before the head is washed, but
they should not be touched with fine
tooth comb. 1t Is a mistake not to soap
the head well, for IL this is not done the
scalp is pretty sure to become scurvy,
but it is an important matter to rinse the
hair properly with clear water and to
dry it with a soft towel The very soft
est brush that can be obtained is the
right one for baby and no comb should
be used.
? After two years it will be often enough
If the childs head be washed once a week
Then a shampoo should be used, made of
the yolk of an egg and soap beaten up in
warm water to form good lather. This
should be well rubbed into the scalp and
rinsed out with plenty of warm water
If the water is hard a little borax may
be used to soften it. When children have
long hair and are apt to catch cold, 1t is
a good plan sometimes to apply little
eau-de-cologne to the scalp, but this must
never be used in the case of infants, for
the reasons just stated.

FRENCH WOMEN AND AGE.

vancing Age.
1t ie doubtless true that the Parisienne
manages more successfully than her sisters
of any other nation the first traces of ad-
vancing years. BY the aid of their con-
summate art wrinkles, those telltale fin
ger marks of time, are smoothed out sue
cessfully; the fat are made slender; the
thin have their bones covered: gray and
scanty locks become seemingly thick,
while their color is optional, and natural
bloom is impaired to the skin. In short,
the old are made to look young without
appearing to be made up" which every
one comedies is vulgar Nowhere can this
be done successfully, it is claimed, except
in Paris.

do you know" she remarked during a
general pause, II am the only woman at
this table who does not dye her hair?"
She was with her intimates and con-
temporaries and felt she could say what
she liked. There Immediately arose a
general storm of protests and laughter,
which ended by everyone admitting that
he or she used "tonic' which had 'pe-
culiar restorative properties" but as for
dying the hair-that was altogether mis-
take!
But there comes a time. alas. when art

the result of Partisan art is veritably

it were, of the superstructure. when the
skin no longer yields to treatment and the

ropes of jewels Therefore. begin to grow
old before it is too late. Keep young and
charming as long as possible, but do not
wait for efforts in that direction to be-
come painful. Try to realize that age has
it's beauties and attractions as well as
youth and endeavor to grow old as grace
fully as possible, since to grow old is in
evitable.

A Man Discharged From the Hospital
Picked Up on the Street.

A man named Cole, discharged from the
Sisters hospital Saturday after under
going an operation on one of his feet
was picked up at midnight last night in
East Galena street by Officers Murphy
and Radmilovich and booked as COM
mon drunk. 1t developed at once that
the man was in a stupor produced by
morphine poisoning and City Physician
Alexander was summoned. The doctor
applied the stomach pump and worked for
two hours on the patient, who showed
signs of improvement at o'clock this
morning. 1t is supposed that he procured
the morphine at the hospital without the
knowledge of those in charge, and prob
ably took more than he intended to.

CAMBRIDGEPORT.

The local Fourth of July celebration, in
augurated by the citizens of this place and
Athens, passed off very pleasantly. Several
of the nearby towns were represented and it
was thought that the company numbered
nearly or quite 500 people. At 10 80 A. NJ.
the procession of "horribles" escorted by the
Grafton brass band and the two marshals on
horseback made tour of the village. AT
different times during the day the drum corps
was in evidence and pleased the ears OF
those who enjoy martial music. At IL 30 re-
freshments of cake, sandwiches and ice
cream were served and lemonade was dis
pensed often to grateful and appreciative,
thirsty crowd. Later in the day came the
athletic sports which were engaged in with
much spirit by the men and boys, and the
literary aud musical program which was par
ticipated in by the people of both Athens and
Cambridgeport. The address, "The Model
Citizen by Rev. W. Z. Lang of Athens was
received with much favor. Some of the char
acteristics of model citizen as given by the
speaker are education, industry, morality,
temperance and Christianity. The readings,
vocal and instrumental music and Rotations
were interesting and appropriate. An exer-

could, but we're unable to save very much
