MINING NOTEE.
The Boston & Montana mines at
Butte and the big smeter at Great
Falls were shut down last week. The
shutdown is said to be for the pur-
pose of awaiting the outcome of the
proceedings over the receivership of
the Boston & Montana. The supreme
court has refused to enjoin the DIS
trict court from carrying out it's or
! ders and placing the receiver in
charge. Receiver Kinds expects to be
in possession in few days, when all
! the mines and smelters will reopen.
He says all the old hands will be given
the preference when work is resumed.
