Mary Greeley, proprietress Of the Red
Boot lodging house, has brought an ac-
ton in the district court for 81. 500 against
William B.. jenkins, in which amount she
alleges in her complaint she has been
damaged by reason of her arrest at the
instigation of jenkins for obtaining mon
ey Under false pretenses. She further al
leges that in procuring her arrest Jen-
kin acted maliciously n without pro-
bable cause; that she was imprisoned o
hours: that on April 1 thecharge against
her was dismissed at the request of the
county attorney; that the publication of
the arrest resulted in great injury to her
~person-that it has been a source of great
shame and humiliation, and her good
name and reputation has been seriously
injured.
The suit had it's origin in the loan made
by Jenkins on the furniture of the Red
Boot two or three months ago.. At that
time a young man who is now in the
count Jail desired to raise $50. jenkins
is a money lende and the young man
knew it. He asked Jenkins to loan him
the money and offered him as security a
mortgage on the furniture in the Red
Boot lodging house. When jenkins re-
lated his story of the transaction to the
county attorney he said he and the man
that wanted to borrow the money had
gore to Mrs. Greeley to ascertain II the
man owned the property and she a said
he did. whereupon the money was loan
ed. BY and by Jenkins discovered that
the man did not own as much as a sheet
| of writing paper and had a warrant is
sued for his arrest. Mrs. Greeley became
mixed up in the affair through the allie
cation of jenkins that when asked by him
If the man owned the property she an
swered yes. The real swindler was sub
! sequently arrested in a cabin and is o
awaiting trial.

THE COPPER CONSOLIDATION.

Boston News Bureau: We understand
that the first copper consolidation will
be that of the Butte mining camp n
Of producing mines.
The absorption Of the Lake Superior
and Arizona, and possibly the Rio T1nto
and other foreign companies, may come
later. But the first consolidation will be
of properties on the Butte mountain.
The Butte camp produces Sc per cent of
the worlds upper or about 22O,OoO,O0
pounds, tho larger part of which, OF
course, comes from the Anaconda n
the Boston & Montana.
There can be- no great increase this
Ing capacity Of all the companies and all
the independent smelters is fully Occu-
pied.
The Boston & Montana is extending
its smelter capacity, but it is believed
that the extension will only be sufficient
to provide for an output of about Loco, 900
pounds Of copper per month from the
Butte & Boston mines.
The production at the Butte camp is
now approximately as follows:
Lbs. per annum
Boston & Montana ...... ...... 5000, 0CO
Butte & Boston ............... l2,OOO,00O
Colorado Smelter .............. 10,O00,O 900
Parrot ........... .............. lo,ooO,OVo
Total ........... ........... 200, 900, 900
Besides the above properties which
will probably go int the copper combi-
nation, capitalized at over 5000, 900. 900,
there is the Montana Ore Purchasing
company and the Clark smelter, but the
production of the entire mountain is
under $50, 900, 1000 pounds per annum.
The production Of the Butte & Boston

growing crops.
Small wonder, indeed, if our hero
inc lost her temper at last, and peNed
those pigs with clods, or whatever
came handieSt, and even WhacKed one
of them across the snOut with a hoe
handle.
But with all her efforts it was late
in the day when the last one of the
marauders was disposed of, and the
fence patched up, after fashion.

do believe a woman could vote, and
even make laws, and execute them,
too, as well as man, under some cir
cumstances," | mean if she were not
hampered by prejudiced and unreason-
able colleagues. But when it comes
to patching rail fences, the least said
about woman's capabilities the better.)
However, Miss Ferobia's workman
ship, if not exactly artistic, was slffi>
GENTLY ingenious to prevent further in
roads in that direction.
But for some reason, from that time
on the Fates seemed to turn a cold
shoulder to her efforts.
The rabbits Toasted on her early
York cabbages and marrOWfat peas,
the striped bugs worked destruction
on her cucumbers and Cassava melons,
the Colorado beetle devastated her po-
tatoes, and the squash-bugs ate up her
Boston marrOWS and patty-pan
squashes. The foxes, minks, owls, and
hawks, to say nothing of opossums and
weasels, thinned the ranks of her
young Dorkings and Plymouth Rocks;
and, to make matters worse, her cow
turned out to be a Jumper" and
brought disgrace on herself and trOu-
bic to her mistress by daily raids on
Farmer Nubbins' cOrnfield.
This was the last straw, and like the
mythical camel, Miss Ferobia broke
down under it.
There amt no use a-tryin', as see,"
she lamented dOlefully as she set out
her one cup and saucer in readiness
for her tea. "a lone woman don't have
no chance at all. An here, I've spent
all my money, an my garden amt

"Evenin', Miss Feroby," interrupted
a CHEEKY voice, and there framed in
the doorway, stood Felix Byefield, a
smile frightening his honest, sun
Drowned face.
Miss Ferobia shook hands with her
visitor, and drew forth a chair for
him, with a secret fiuttering at her
heart as she remembered her sister
in-law's insinuatiOn.
But Felix was evidently bent on
making himself agreeable.

rObia was blessed with strong nerves,
and solitude had no terrors for her.
She had accumulated a few odds and
ends of furniture from time to time, the
gifts of various friends and relatives,
which went a good way toward fur
nishing her diminutive dwelling.
And when they were arranged to her
satisfaction, and square of bright rag
carpet tackled down in the centre of
the rOOm Miss Ferobia felt as happy
as king.
She was too tired after her days
work to do more than take cup of
tea and retire to rest. But comfort
able nights sleep on the old-fashiOned
Quare-pOsted bedstead restored her
energies, and for the next few days she
was as busy as a mailer over her pre-
partitions.
Lem Dodson was hired to plow the
''truck patch,' a cow with young
calf was bargained for, and few
fowls of the Plymouth Rock and DOrk
ing species were purchased and were
soon cackling vigorously around their
new quarters.
After little more help from Neigh
Dor DodsOn, and a vigorous use Of the
hoe on Miss Ferobia's part the ground
was in readiness for planting, and the
ambitious market gardener sat up till
long past her usual bedtime looking
over her stock Of seeds, and selecting
those requisite for immediate use.
There might be still late frosts, she
reflected and such tender plants as
beans and cucumbers summer
suuashes and nutmeg melons, would
be better out of the ground than in it
for few days to come. But beets
and lettuce, spinach and marrOwfat
peas and rutabagaS, would stand any
thing short of regular freeze, and
might be safely planted at once.
And, late though she sat up, the first
pink flush of early dawn did not find
Miss Ferobia mapping the next morn
ing, nor for many mornings to come.
She was up with the birds, and after
hasty breakfast out she sailed, and
hOed and raked, weeded and trans
planted till her back ached and her
fingers grew sore and her nose freckled
and her cheeks tanned. But garden
ing is hard work, at best, and though
Miss FerObia labOred with will, the
grass and weeds would creep in here
and there in spite of her vigilance.
The purslane-''pusly'' she called it
and horse-nettles grew faster than her
butter-head lettuce or white spine Gu
cumbers.
Then the weather was not always
propitious, and her first planting of SUI
gar-corn and early rose potatoes rot
ted in the ground.
But Miss Ferobia, nothing daunted,
replanted the vacant rows with later
varieties, and in due time the seed
sprouted and gave evry promise of a
luxuriant crop.
But from that time on it was, as
the little woman declared, ''tussle"
between herself and the weeds.

A Butte Mans Opinion of Sum-
pier the "Great"
MUCH POVERTY THERE
Miners On a Strike For a Reduction
In the Number of Hours of
Labor.

Deputy County Attorney Roy S. Alley
received a letter today from Timothy v.
LoWney, who served az constable for
John NJ. Trapp while the latter was JUS
tiee OF the peace in this city but who is
now IN the Sumpter mining or numbering
district of Oregon, which is not far from
Baker City. When the Sumpter boom
broke out in Butte a few weeks ago MI.
Lowney was among those who became
interested in the alleged new discoveries
of gold there n struck OUT for the scene
of operations with a determination to do
something for himself. Many others
went, many figured IN going, and for that
matter are still figuring; therefore Mr..
Lowney's letter will be found interesting
to them. 1t is as follows:
"Sumpter. Ore. Nov. 10, 1899.

1t Is: Twelve years ago I worked in this

to be In it's infancy. From re-
ports l imagined it had grown to man

Red boy are at least 20 miles from here
ana employ blu a few men. These are
the principal mines. The Red Boy is an
Ola mine with very little Improvement
since l worked in it twelve years ago. TO
De candid, Jack Hoy and Hank Noble
employ more men than all the other
bosses combined in the whole district and
pay better wages. The wages here are
- per day of ten hours, either day or
night. The Bonanza miners struck last
week for a reduction in the number Of
hours of labor from ten to nine for the
night shift. The company would not ac-
cede to the demands and the strike is
stu on. l saw some good rock here a
rev days ago, but l must confess that
some OF 1t came from Montana. A friend
of mine had twelve assays taken and out

camp is full of idle men more pow
erty exists in it than in the whole state
OF Montana. Last night l met a poor
unfortunate who had not eaten for three
days and his ooks did not betray his
assertion.
MY advice to friends and others would
be to stay away from Sumpter and pay
no attention to the boosters who are now
IN Butte ~endeavoring to get miners to
come to this numbering camp.
