THE COPPER BOOM.

1t looks like a 20 cent copper market.
Mr.. Leonard LeWisohn, of LeWiSohn
Bros, the leading metal dealers of the
world, says: w and everybody else are
powerless to stop the advance in copper.
We have sold more copper the last week
than in six weeks preceding, and while we
may regret a copper market at 20 cents
or above, we must face the situation as
it is.
"The electric companies in America are
using 40 per cent more copper than a
year ago, and the foreign demand con
tinues. ! do not see where the supplies
are to come from. The only mine that
can increase supplies to any extent this
year is the Utah which will soon begin
production on a considerable scale, but
from no other district can the supplies
this year be materially increased over
last wear"

A BROKEN LIMB.

An intoxicated man named James Gill
sustained a fracture of the right leg
above the ankle this afternoon while re-
sisting arrest in the alley in the rear of
the poStOffice.
Officer Sheehy's attention was called
about noon today to a man who was
using abusive language to a lady who
occupies a house in the alley. Officer
Sheehy told the man to go about his bust
ness, and the intoxicated individual re-
taliated by inviting the officer to go to a
warmer climate. Shelby grabbed him by
the arm to take him to the police station,
but the fellow did not propose to go with
out putting up a fight.
The two men wrestled around for e V
eral minutes, the drunken man appa-
rently possessing great strength and
making it very interesting for the officer.
In the miX-up a dog came up and decided
to take a part in the fight and inserted
his teeth in the leg of the intoxicated in
Gvidual. In ~endeavoring to escape the
dog, the fellow fell on the ice, breaking
his leg below the ankle.
Even after being down he still wanted
to fight. He was placed in a hack and
taken to DR.. Campbelrs office and vas
later removed to a hospital.

by the Heinze people that the necessary
work was not lone on the claim, and it
was therefore open to relocation. To-day

be IN the employ of Heinze, posted a no.
tice of relocation. The notice was signed

that the lines of the fraction had been

ton of the Berkeley, which is considered
one of the best of the Butte & Boston
properties. 1t is also said by mining men
that the fraction has been open for loca-
ton for several days.

LOSS OF GOLD IN WATER.

In view of the statement which has
been made at times by those engaged in
various branches of mining relative to
the losses Of gold in water used in stamp
milling. the article by a. Won Geniet, vice
president of the Chemical and Metal
|IurgicaI soc,ey of South Africa, in jana
aly's issue of the society, Is interesting.
The question arose whether this solu-
ton of gold is due only to cyanide in the
water. or to other salts, fer instance,
persalts of iron, which dissolve minute
quantities of gold. To determine this 80
tons of ore We're crushed IN a thrce-stamp
battery, the same water being used over
and over again. The result was that at
the end of the trial only traces of dis
solved gold were III in the water; con-

has reached Anaconda since last night.
No Northern Pacific trains have left
Anaconda today. Fully three miles of
track on that line in Silver Bow cam

water has receded two feet. Several
small bridges nave either been washed
out or disabled SO that trains cannot
cross. Several andre feet of track has
been washed out and the road bed has
suffered from the water. A freight train
has been caught between two washouts.
a large crew of men are repairing the
washout at Deer Lodge which may be
repaired this evening ito allow trains to
pass. The tracks and bridges damaged
in Silver Bow canyon cannot be repaired
for several hours. The b. A. & p, trai/s

men under rOadmaater Nolan were on
duty all of last night to save certain
bridges and portions Of the track near
the waters edge. Every mountain stream
near Anaconda is a raging torrent. Sheep

s~equently the d~issolving of gold in prac-
tee may be considered due to cyanide
only.
The mention of cyanide is made, as all
the ta1linSS are cyanided after being run
through stamp mills. and it was not
known whether the loss was due to dis
solving the gold by cyanide solution,
which might accidentally have gotten
into the water, or by the water itself,
whose solution of the gold might, as sug-
gested by the article, been assisted by
complicated salts of iron, or other metals
in solution.
