ARIZONA COPPER.
What its Development is Doing
 for the Treasure Territory

Nearly every copper mine and smelter in Arizona is being worked to its full extent and the railroads are hauling seven and eight times more ore than they did in 1896 and 1897. A dozen men in Arizona who were worth probably SIoO,OOO in copper mining properties two years ago are millionaires now, while everyone who had any sort of c workable copper claim year or two ago is worth thousands of dollars more now than before the copper boom set in. The copper mining camps in the territory are the busiest spots in the southwest, and fully l6,o0O men have been con : stsntly employed at good wages in Arizona's copper mines and smelters for year and half. If the present demand for copper continues-and there seems .o be no reason why 1t should not-the copper industry oi the territory will be productive of O! over $3O .OoO 900 annually.

So far this season Arizona has ship ped through the Denver Union Sock Yards, p. 300 head of cattle. The yards received far more cattle from Arizona than from any other state or territory. There Was a big shortage from the preceding year in the num- Der received. This is attributed largely to the heavy demand of the Pacific coast states and Alaska.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effcctually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid limitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.

The Burlington excursion to the
Custer battlefield today, for the joint
observance of Memorial day with Sheri-
dan, was a rouser. The train, consist
ing of ten coaches and bearing 500
people, pulled cut at 9 o'clock this
morning, the news from Sheridan
being to the effect that as many more
would start from that city. With the
people who will be picked up at inter.
mediate points, the crowd at the BATTLE
field will probably number 1900 or
1900. Hon. W. F. Sanders Of Helena,
who will deliver the grafton, arrived
in Billings this morning and left with
the excursionists. He is in the best of
health and spirits and his grafton will
no doubt be a masterpiece. Many
people from the surrounding country
and, towns came to Billings to go on
the excursion, which is getting to be a
gala day for this city, and the enter
prise and ~liberality of the Burlington
in making a rate of 81. SO for the round

THE MAVERICKS ENTERTAIN.

A Complimentary Banquet and Ball to
p Their Lady Friends.

Maverick Hose company gave a COM
~plimentary banquet and ball to their
lady friends, rendered to show the ap-
probation Of the company for the kind
assistance so often rendered them by
the ladies of the city in preparing deli
cacies for the Maverick annual stag
banquets. About $50 invitations were
issued, most of which were accepted,
and it was a large and merry company
that assembled around the banquet
board. While the feast was being
served, VanHorne's orchestra dis
coursed sweet music and the occasion,
in every respect, was a most enjoyable
one
W. M. Johnston, Esq. acted as toast
master and fairly covered himself with
glory at the postprandial exercises.
His remarks were timely and appropri-
ate, his wit keen and his welcome to
the guests on behalf of the company
hearty and hospitable. He first called
on Mayor Yegen to respond to the
toast, "The City of Billings" which
his honor did in a graceful and enter
tanning manner. Then followed toasts
from Hon. Fred H. Foster, on "The
Alderman and Public Admin,
istrator Chas. Spear, on "Pingreism,
or the Man Holding Two Offices -
Mr.. j. B. HEREFORD, on "Our Absent
Friends" Judge J. D. Matheson, Oh
"Our Guests; W. E. Henry, who has
recently been initiated into the MAYER
icks, on High Jinks,' and E. L.
Boardman, on "The Press"
The toasts were ~interspersed with
vocal solos by Messrs. Frank Damsell
and Lee Mains, and were much enjoyed
by the company. The banquet was
somewhat different from the annual
stag affairs, but it gave the ladies a
good idea Of the hospitality and good
cheer CT the Mavericks and they are
today closer to the hearts of the fair
sex in consequence. The postprandial
exercises being concluded, dancing was
INDUCED in and the company, when it
dispersed, voted the Mavericks a crowd
of jolly good fellows who had done
themselves proud.
