again in operation. What the intentions
of the mpan are is unknown, although
there is a rumor that the anagemen
is considering a new process whereby the
baser ores Of the Hope could be success
fully treated. There are thousands of
tons Of this class of ore in the mine, and
should the company conclude to erect re-
duction works to treat these ores by fire
it would mean a great deal for Philips
burg. More men would be employed in
the mine than ever before and the con-
sumption of fuel and other supplies ne
cessaly would create employment for
others who are engaged in teaming. OF
course this is only a matter of specula-
ton, n while a majority of the residents
and business men of this city have the ut
most faith in the Hope mine and firmly
believe the shutting down is only tenn
porary, there are others who, looking at
the dark side of the proposition, assert
that the Hope is closed down for good
and will never be operated again. There
is, however. very little foundation for
such fear and it is safe to predict that the
Hope will be worked; the nature and ex-
tent of the operations and how soon men
Will again put on remains to be seen. 1t
is to be hoped that It will be soon.

THE P SITUATION.

A New York dispatch says: Although
the transactions in the copper market are
on a limited scale, there is a continuance
of the firm feeling hitherto noticeable,
| and the underlying conditions reveal fea-
lures emphatlcally favorable to this
! metal. The domestic demand is still
urgent and requires enormous quantities
of copper. A rapid transfer of supplies
!! from producer to consumer is going on
and no threatening accumulation OF
stocks at any domestic center under
these circumstances is possible. While
the Calumet & Hecla may be willing to
keep their price at 1872 cents it indicates
no special weaknes in the situation, but
is regarded simply as a stroke of policy
to keep people from scratching the
ground too actively to find new descov-
cries of copper.
All the great producers have been
working under strain and stress to sup
ply the trade with the requisite metal to
enable to fill their orders, and
to produce "copper", smelters have had to
import material from Europe. =.
Bears continue to adduce reasons why
the market for opper should react. but
of all the advanced that of
Sargant & Co., london brokers, is the
most sensational, wherein they boldly as
sert: we are rapidly approaching the
period when Europe will be independent
of America" These gentlemen console
thenselvs with tn idea that Chile, Aus
tralia and Tasmania and the other ordi-
nary channels will be able next year to
supply every ton of copper required in
Europe. The consumption of England,
France and Germany for last year is es-
timatcd at PSI ,9o3 tons. and, deducting
the United States production, the guam
tlty produced in all other copper dis
tricts throughout the world for 1898 was
2,C49 tons less han the estimated con-
sumption Of the three above mentioned
European countries. Chile, Australia
and Africa did not come within 200, 600
tons or furnishing copper enough for
Europe's needs last year. The hope of
Sargant & Co. is chimerical, and is not
bullt on a solid foundation, consequent

MINING NEWS
The Reported Boom In C0pperS

COPPER MARKET STRONG
A Big Strike Reptored on the Tobacco
Root Range--MineS of
Gold Creek.

The expected boom in coppers has not
yet materialized, and many hundred
Butte spectators are paying interest on
stocks purchased at stiff figures, and
patiently waiting the anticipated ad-
vance. 1t is argued that owing to the
firm price of copper the stocks cannot
now remain long in their present neglect
ed condition. BY the end of this month
the Boston spectators will nave re-
turned from their vacation, and great
things are promised by the first week in
September.

TOBACCO ROOT RANGE

Pony Sentinel: At no time since the
discovery of gold in the Tobacco Root
range rave the mines of Pony and vicin-
ity been so perseveringly worked and
with such general success as at present.
From reports made on last Saturday it
would appear that every prospector in
the district had found something valu-
able and in most of the cases their claims
are backed up by the assayer's %certifi-
Gates and the ore on the dumps. Some
of the more recent strikes are mentioned
below and are of a character and extent
that would create a Juror among mining
men if found in Cripple Greek or Buffalo
Hump but existing in a country already
opened up by railroads., adjacent to rich
and productive agricultural valleys, easy
of access from all points, these indubita-
BILE evidences of mineral wealth arepassed
over by promoters, and investors are
made to believe that gold is to be DUN
in remunerative quantities only in new,
remote and almost inaccessible regions.
From sources entirely reliable the Sem
tinel learns that the most important min
eral discovery ever made in the Tobacco
Root range was made this week. The
lead has been cross-cut on the surface
for 25 feet and reveals a large body of
copper and gold ore. Nc assays are yet
out, but in the judgment of those who
have examined the samples made, no
doubt exists of it's great value. Should
their opinions be borne out by the assay
er's certificate, a mining boom will be
inaugurated such as this section has
never before witnessed.
The Sentinel has sent a competent man
to examine and eport upon the matter
and in our text issue we Will be able to
give a full and accurate account OF what
we are confident will prove to be the rich
est mine or mines yet opened in Madison
county.
Obligations to those already interested
forbid us at present designating the pre-
else locality of the find, but these will be
removed within a few days. Suffice 1t
to say that Pony will be an important
factor in the working and development OF
the property.

ON GOLD CREEK.

Phlipsburg Mail: The placer season
on Gold creek is practically over and the
miners are again turning their attention
TO quartz. Some of the placers have Weld
ed handsomely and large quantities of
gold have been contributed from this SEQ
ton to swell the states output of precio,s
metals. While not all who have been en-
gagged in placer mining IN this district
have been equally fortunate, the season
mas been generally a very profitable one.
Mining, like any other pursuit, has it's ups
and downs and many claims that DID NOT
yield so we'll this season have paid hand
somely in past years, and for this reason
the owners are in no way discouraged. but
are making preparations for operations
next year, believing that a few feet in one
direction or another from where work has
| been left off the rich pay gravel will again
be found. Everywhere the miners are at
work, fixing up for the winter, prepara-
tory to developing some quartz claims
during the season when work on the sur
face cannot we'll be carried on. owing to
the vast quantity Of snow which falls in
that section.
Gus Penault and Eugene Mcfarland,
having closed down work on their placer
mine, are busy building some needed
houses and otherwise preparing for next
seasons work. Their clean up for the
season has BEEN quite satisfactory,
amounting to about $4,000.

from Gus TeIline's mines on the Deer
Lodge road.
John Hickey is working a crew of six
men on the Mountain Rose property be-
longing to Paul A. Fusz. This property
has been KNOWN to contain very rich gold
ore and it is the opinion of mining men
of the district that it only needs Develop
ment to show a very valuable mne. Mr..
Hickey has located a huber of claims ad-
joining the property and is very much
pleased with this showing of ore that has
developed in some levels by work already
DONE.
VIM. Gilmer and Lee Smith are sack
ing ore at their mine on Pixies Peak, in
which f. A. Cralle Of Philipsburg is in
terested. They have about thirty tons Of
high grade ore, silver and copper, on the
dump, which they intend to ship before
snow falls. A load of provisions and sup
plies was last week taken in from Philips
burg by way of the Royal Gold.
Sullivan and Burrier have returned to
work on the Eldorado and are uncover
ing some very rich ore on that claim.

pain. Without the aid of ~aphores
however. there is no such thing as good
workmanship in painless dentistry.
But the new 'cataphoric bleaching is
even more appreciated by women. The
bleaching fluid is driven into the tooth by
means of a current of electricity in a way
similar to that in which an anaesthetic
is driven into sensitive dentine. Even a
tooth that has become very much discol-
ored as a result of the improper treat
ment of the dead nerve may be rendered
beautifully white by thism means. In fact,
electricity is now used by the u%p-to-date
dentist for nearly everything connected
with his work. 1t is used for killing
nerves; 1T propels the treadle for cutting
and the mallet for filling; while light is
supplied to the mouth lamp and heat |
the hotair syringe by the same means.
The dentist of 25, or even 10 years ago,
| who has not kept abreast of the times,
would hardly know what to make of the
many improvements in the modern prac-
titioner's operating room. The sterilizer,
for instance, in which every instrument is
placed after being used, is now considered
as necessary a part of the office furniture
as the treadle or the hydraulic chair
The certainty that every instrument put
into the mouth has been thoroughly ster-
ilized since being previously used means
a great deal to a sensitive patient.
Another special horror has been done
away with through the invention of the
dental speculum and the drainage tube
The former protects the lips from abra-
sion. while the latter, when placed under
the tongue, takes up and carries away
the troublesome 'drool,' which, under the
old fashioned system of dentistry, was
the cause of such aversion to fastidious
men and women.
eff dentistry improves proportionately
during the next so years as it has during
| the last decade, by the middle of the goth
| century women will look upon a visit to
the dentist with no greater dread than is
now inspired by the prospect of a shop
ping tour. 1t is probable, too, that artifi-
cial teeth will become more and more ma
tural every year Ever now the blush
| white teeth so OmrnOn a few years ago
are seldom seen, and the porcelain filings
which are daily growing in popularity are
so identical in tint and appearance with
the teeth of which they form a part that
their presence a hardly be detected.
Their preparation and insertion, however,
require considerable skill. They are gen.
orally first shaped to the cavity, then
baked, glazed and carefully inserted. The
| superior beauty of these filings over the
conspicuous gold ones is APPARENT to the
people most conservative in adopting new
ideaS.'

groom: Where's your gal?' He re-
piled: *'Out yonder-in the street."
The parson said, 'Fetch her in" Then
she was '*fotch" in and the "knot tied.
The bridegroom asked the parson the
amount of the Indebtedness incurred,
and was told that no charge was made,

Grattan Riggs is neither as young nor
