BUTTE NEWS.
GREAT CITY OF BUTTE
Interesting Facts Relative to the
Big Copper Camp.
IS RICH AND PROSPEROUS
Produces More Wealth Than the Com
bined Wheat Fields of the Da-
kotas and Mnnesota-Some
of the Great Mines.

In a recent article in the Portland
Oregonian concerning the great city of
Butte and some of its people, P. A.
O'Farrell writes some interesting and
readable facts. From the article, which
is nearly three columns in length, the
following paragraphs are taken:
Butte folks tell you triumphantly
that their city never had boom, that
it has grown to its present pre-emi-
hence as the best and greatest mining
camp upon the continent, from pure
merit, not from efforts of the hustler
and the boomer 1t is, indeed, a Won
derful hive of industry, for planted
here are $4,000 people, rich and pros
porous proud and happy, and over at
it's suburb of Anaconda are $4,000 more
who are prosperous and busy, because
Butte is fruitful source of wealth and
labor.
There is not enough agricultural
land visible from the mountain slopes
Of Butte to sod a lark. There is not a
shrub, or tree, or flower. within a
radius of miles. save on the rugged
precipices on yonder mountains, where
sulphur fumes, and the crags too dan
gerous for the woodman to kill the
mountain pine. There is nothing here
bat mining industry alone, and that
mining industry is so great that it takes
$50, 100000 a year in copper, gold and
silver out of these mountains and en-
riches the United States and the world
to that extent. Last year it produced
300, 900, 900 pounds of copper, which, val
ued at present prices, would be some
$50, 900, 900. The two Dakotas and Min
nesota do not reap as big a harvest
from their wheat fields annually as
this single mining camp of Butte fur
nishes through toilers in it's mines
That is a great fact for political econ
omists and capitalists and statesmen
to ponder over.
"And yet Butte is of but yesterday
A generation ago it was a thousand
miles from railroad and civilization. 1t
could only be reached by coming up
the Missouri river in one of those
dreadful stern-wheelers that wasted a
whole season on the trip: or it could
be reached from Utah over wild Indian
trails infested by highwaymen. Twen-
ty years ago it was over such trails
and by Missouri river steamboats, that
all supplies reached the few hundred
frontiersmen who We're waiting on
Providence and fortune in the mountain
hamlet which is now the city of Butte.
But Butte, even then. had such citizens

Sole Survivor of the Wreck.

Victoria. B. c.. April 10.-George Schnoe-
ter is the sole survivor of a shipwreck be-
tween Malcolm and Vancouver islands on
the 18th ult. The sloop on which he and
Tom Hackett of Seattle had been selling
liquor to the northern Indians was lost
in a storm while all on board were in
toxicated. The drowned included Hackett,
an Irish logger known only by his first
name Charlie, and two half-breed women.
1t is supposed that it was the wreckage of
this craft that was mistaken for that
of the yacht Thistle, the latter craft with
her party being safe at Albert bay.

ESTATE OF GREAT VALUE
Involved in a Supreme Court
Decision.
A STRANGE CHARACTER
Charles Quinn Was an Old Bachelor.
The Heirs Now Hope to Get
Portion of the
Estate.

The decision of the supreme court
yesterday, affirming that of the dis
trict court in the case of Charles Quinn
against Bernard Quinn, puts the
estate of the Quinn brothers where the
heirs of Charles Quinn may hope to get
a portion of it. The estate is of great
value, consisting of property in Butte,
ranches, cattle and other personal prop
erty. Charles Quinn died a year or two
ago, while the suit which was yester-
day decided was pending in the courts.
He was an old bachelor and strange
character He sued his brother for an
accounting and for a dissolution of
their partnership, which had existed
since September. 1894. He also asked
the court to set aside deed he had
given his brother for a lot of Butte
property for an alleged consideration
of $40, 600 but for really no considera-
ton at all. In his fight against his
brother he was represented by Chan
cellor ODonnell, and the decision yes
terday is his victory.
The estate is still left in peculiar
situation, however. Years ago, when
the brothers were making lots Of
money by freighting into Alder gulch,
they made mutual resolutions never to
marry, and then each made will leav-
ing all his property, in the event of his
DEATH to the other. The wills are still
in existence, and We're never cancelled,
but few years ago Bernard Quinn, in
his old age, took unto himself wife.
Charles Quinn shortly afterwards died,
and his will was probated by his sur
viving brother, but a sister and an
other brother of the deceased have in
stituted a contest on the ground that
the terms and conditions of the will
were broken and nullified when Ba~-
nard married. and thus made it impOs-
sibe, in case he had died first for
Charles Quinn to be the sole heir of all
his property. The will case is still to
be decided by the courts.
An action was brought in the dis
trict court yesterday against William
j. Beckett, trustee of Fred Gamer, the
bankrupt shoe man, in which it is al
legged that Gamers financial standing
was grossly misrepresented to different
commercial agencies before his failure
in business. The plaintiffs in the case
are SELF, .Schwab & Co. of Chicago.
They sue for only $SS665. but in their
complaint they allege that they shipped
goods to Gamer just a short while be-
fore he filed his petition in bankrupt
cy, and that they relied. as to his stand
ing, upon the reports of Dun & Co. and
Bradstreet in which Gamers assets
were placed at $4,000. besides which ne
claimed to own a home valued at &c.,

amounting to only $4,000 Besides that
he held an interest in the Helena Book

that counted as an asset. Relying on
the ratings given him by the CONNER
cial agencies, the plaintiff shipped the
goods to Gamer and afterwards found
that the commercial ratings were

liabilities exceeded 100000 The plain

j. NJ Albiez and A. N Yoder, who do

commenced an action in the district
court to establish their exclusive right
to the words, Uncle SAM" as applied
to the pawn business in Butte. The
suit is against C. Karatofsky and J.

ing business in Butte and use Uncle

Yoder say in their complaint that they
have long used their trade name in
the business and advertising, and "by
reason of their knowledge, long expert
ence and great care in carrying on the
business, their place has become wide
ly known and advertised as a safe and
fair place to pawn pledge and pur-
chase such articles of value as are usu-
ally handled and dealt with in places of
like character, and the trademark and
sign has become of great value and
profit to the plaintiffs Notwithstand-
ing their long and exclusive use of the
name the defendants have opened
place of business as Uncle Sans Col
lateral Bank, to the great damage and
injury of the plaintiffs. 1t is alleged
that the action of the defendants is
intended and calculated to deceive pur-
chasers and the general public. The
court is asked to grant a temporary
restraining order to prevent the de-
PENDANTS from using the trade name,
and that on a final hearing a perna-
nent injunction be issued. Judge Clan
cy issued the restraining order and an
order to show cause.
