A JEwELRy FIRMS TROUBLE

The recent troubles of the Wyatt
Jewelry House in Salt Lake City that
ended in bankruptcy and the sale OF
their s25, 900 stock on an order from the
court, is liable to prove blessing in
disguise to the people of Butte. We
are creditably informed that while the
original invoice of this stock amounted
to $4,000, the appraisers saw fit to re-
duce it to $4,000, and the court APP
proved sale of the entire stock to the
j. H. Leyson company of that city and
Butte, Montana, for $4,000. On the
strength of this purchase the Utah
house inaugurated what proved to be
the must successful sale of jewelry ever
made in the West. 1t is now the inten-
ton of the Butte house of ]. H. Leyson
to utilize their portion of this fortunate
purchase in the same manner AS the
goods stand this firm less than As per
cent of their original cost, it can readily
be seen that they are in a position to
make special sale of jewelry that is
sure to prove the most remarka BILE
event in the history of Butte merchan-
dizing. 1t will require several days to
mark and arrange the stock for this
sale. which will probably commence on
or about Aug 81. Watch this space for
day and date.

TO-NIGHT'S COUNCIL MEETING.
Preliminary Action Taken by Some OF
the Committees.

IFehH1nary aCt1On taken Dy some Oh
the Committees.
The light and building committee of
the city council met yesterday after
noon and considered several electric
light propositions. 1t was decided not
to grant the petition for a light at
Granite and Montana streets. The
petition for light at Quartz and Ari-
IONA streets was also disallowed, as
there is already a light in the alley
close by. The light at the corner of
Broadway and Atlantic streets was or
dered moved from the side of the street
to the center.
At the meeting of the sewer COM
mittee yesterday it was decided to
reduce the sewer tax of James Nc
Laughlin $50.
In regard to Contractor Rowan's
threat to hold the city to his contract
for the Buffalo gulch sewer in Dakota
street in spite of the mayors veto, it
was decided to refer the matter to the
judiciary committee.
The street and alley committee drew
up the following report yesterday:
I'VE have had under consideration the
petition of w. f. Rowan relative to a
special tax in the opening of Covert
street: the petition of Henry J. Poist
relative to damage by storm: and the
petition of NJ. A. Harkins relative to
damage by storm, and We recommend
that they be not granted. We have
had under consideration the claim of
Susan A. Lynch for alleged dana ges
by storm, and recommend that the sum
of 500 be allowed. We recommend that
the sidewalk contract of John Mccoy
be Cancelled. In regard to the commu-
nication of the board of school trustees,
we recommend that the matter be re-
ferred to the city attorney for the start
ing of condemnation proceedings

Visitors to Crystal Springs are treat
ed to a very novel sight these days. A
new we'll is being sunk to obtain
greater supply of water, and the pro-
cess is a very interesting one. The
method is the same as is employed in
sinking oil wells in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, the old walking beam engine
being in operation daily. To see the
machinery working is we'll worth a
trip to the springs.
