BUTTE NEWS.
SEVEN DEVILS COUNTRY
Conflicting Reports as to It's
Richness Are Received.
SOME DECLARE IT N. G..
On the Other Hand Col. Pat DOMAIN Says
1t Probably SURPRISES Anything of
the Kind in the United
States-His Reasons

While the almost unanimous verdict
on the Seven Devils country is favora-
BILE for the prospectors and investors,
still there is al least one man who re-
CARDS the country as positively no good.
While comparisons are the order of the
day, two letters treating of the Seven
Devils country, each expressing widely
different views respecting it, are here
with reproduced:
ITO the Editor of the Standard.
please grant me space in your paper
to warn the public at large not to so
either to the Hump country or the
Seven Devils, in Idaho, as there is moth
ing to be found there but work and
hardships. Everything is a fake. Peo-
pie are coming in here and they will go
out again, as there is no work to be
had for any kind of wages. The min
ers in the Seven Devils country employ
about 20 men, and there is no prospect
of any more being engaged. This town
(Cuprum) has five saloons, one board
ing house, one store, one blacksmith
shop and populat alton of about rs.
My advice to everybody is to stay
away from here. The newspapers have
Doomed this country. Please publish
this letter in your paper in order to
save the poor miners from hardships.

Colonel Pat Donan. the we'll known
newspaper man, contributes an inter-
esting article to the last issue of the
Denver Mining Reporter on the Seven
Devils country The article is filled with
statistics in regard to the wonderful
mineral wealth of that section. The
following extract covers the most inter-
esting portion of the article:

SEEMS TO Be SLEEPING
What Has Become of the State
Fair Project.
IT'S NOWHERE VISIBLE
The Legislature Last Winter Unani.
mously Passed Bill in the interests
Of the Proposition. and There
the Matter Has Rested.

What has become of the state fair
proposition?
Men are wondering why something
has not been done toward breaking
ground for the buildings. few
months ago the announcement was
made by men in a position to know all
about it that work on the fair grounds
and buildings would soon begin. 1t
was said that the work would be well
under way by July 4.
A committee went to Helena, and
without dissenting voice saw bill
granting 10-year franchise to the
State Fair association go through the
legislature with a whoop and a hur-
ran. Butte was given the glad hand
by every one, because it was suppos-
ed that this city's go-ahead-and- get
there citizens would jump right into
the harness and stay there until the
grounds We're cleared off, the houses
erected, painted, and all equipments
put in, after which the word would go
forth that Butte had put up the
crackerjack fair of the Northwest.
So far the whole thing assumes the
proportions Of dream. The Fourth
is more than two weeks distant and
there is time yet to make showing
on the fair grounds before that day,
Still there are men who nourish the be-
lief that there will be no work this
summer on the fair grounds in
Butte.

CHANGE IN TRAIN SERVICE
The New System on the N. P
Goes Into Effect To-Morrow.
ONE TRAIN TAKEN OFF
But the Copper City Limited Between
Butte and Hamilton Is Restored.
NJ P. Was Rather Ahead
of the Times.

The change in the through train serV-
effect Tomorrow One Of the trains,
the one now leaving st. Paul in the
morning, will be withdrawn. At the
same time the Copper City Limited
service between Butte and Hamilton
will be restored on Monday.
Three months ago the Northern Pa
cific tried the experiment Of running
two trains a day to the Pacific coast,
one leaving St. Paul in the morning
and one in the evening. The experiment
has demonstrated that there is not SUI
ficient business to warrant both trains.
The Northern Pacific has always been
up with the times, and sometimes 1t
has been ahead of the times. If in the
present case it is not ahead of the times
it is ahead of the demands of the coun-
try through which its lines operate.
Ever since the Northern Pacific
adopted the double train service the
Great Northern has been figuring on
doing the same thing, but the more it
figured the more it reached the conclu-
sion just arrived at by the Northern
Pacific. Some time ago it made bluff
at putting on two trains, although it is
desires. The Northern Pacific people
evidently saw the point and took adj
vantage to retire with sacrificing dig
nifty. In fact, the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific officials came to the
conclusion that one train day on each
road was enough to care for the bust
ress under the improved schedules
which both roads have recently adopt
ed.
The details of the new schedule of
the Northern Pacific were received in
Butte yesterday. Through trains Nos.

carloads of ore, recently shipped, aver
aged so per cent copper; that is 1000
pounds of metallic copper, worth at
present prices $3.50. to ton of crude
ore. Last July IS tons of Peacock ore
were treated in a small experimental
smelter erected by Isaac Blake of New
York at Cuprum, between the mine and
Billiards. Landing, on Snake river. The
result was Is tons of copper matte,
which was shipped to New York
where it was found to contain 9S15 per
cent copper, 116 ounces of silver and
S35 in gold to the ton-a grand total, at
current market quotations of 1874
from rs tons of crude ore A nine-six-
teenths interest in the Peacock was
bonded last October to Glass Brothers
of Montana for 81 900, 200.
"A recent shipment of IS tons of ore
from the Mountain Queen avera ged 45
per cent copper, 20 ounces of silver and
$40 in gold to the ton; an aggregate
value of $1S2.S0 to the ton. The Alaska
ore averages 40 per cent copper, so
ounces of silver and $12 in gold to the
ton; and that of the Mountain King
from 80 to 60 per cent copper and 80
ounces of silver
THE one heretofore insurmountable
obstacle to the development of this
wondrouS region of riches has been the
lack of transportation facilities, and
this will speedily be removed. The
Northwest Railroad company is push
ing a railway in as fast as men and
money can do it, from a point near
Huntington. on the Oregon Short Line
to Tramway Junction, IA miles below
Billiards. Landing on Snake river, where
connection is to be made with an ele-
waited tramway from Peacock mine The
entire road is to be completed and in
operation by Oct. Is, 1899. Another route
is being rapidly surveyed from Baker
City, on the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company's main line, and two
thirds of the distance has been covered
as this crude sketch is written in
March 1899 So the close of the year
will probably see the trains of two great
railway systems freighted with the
treasures of these wild crags and
gorges, and the Seven Devils trans
formed into Seven Shining Seraphim-
worlds wonders in copper bespangled
with gold

He MUST HAVE SKIPPED
Haviland Not on Hand For His
Preliminary Hearing.
BONDSMEN WILL SUFFER
He Had Induced Charles Schatzlein and
Mrs. Mary Butler to Become His
Sureties in the Sum OF
$1,OOO-Bond's Case.

Kenneth Haviand, accused of the
burglary of Heilbronner's cigar ware
house on May 25, was to have mad his
preliminary hearing before Justice
Harrington yesterday afternoon, but
for very excellent reasons a ,ontinu-
ance was ordered until the ed When
the case was called Haviland vas rot
in court, and it was stated that he
was suspected of having placed him
self beyond the jurisdiction OF the
court Al the time of the arrest IIavi-
land furnished bonds in the sum of
$1,000, with Charles Schatzlen and
Mrs. Mary Butler as suretes If lie
is not found by the 23d the bond will
be declared forfeited and the surnt IS
will have to suffer.
The burglary of which Hagi'ln1 is
accused was committed on May %, and
more than 10000 cigars. or nearly
Sl,O0o worth, We're stolen from the ]. A.
Heilbronner warehouse in West Eioad-
way. 1t was a long time before the
police got any trace of the hu' glar.
About a week ago Ike Heilbc onner
learned that paper hanger in the en-
ploy of Charles Schatzlein had offered
some of the cigars for sale to Prtpri-
etor Ledford of the Copper Sta,e sa-
loon, This clue led to Havilands ar
rest. He made a great SHOW II in
disnation at the thought of being ac-
cused of such crime, and undCuht-
eddy, because of his honorable employ
ment. succeeded in convincing Mr.
Schatzlein and Mrs. Butler that he was
all right. The police have since learn
ed that he is an eX-convict, who has
served two terms, one at Deer Lodge
and another at Joliet, ILL.,. both times
for burglary. 1t is said that he lost
very little time after getting bail in
making himself hard to ind.
A complaint charging Earl Bcnd
with burglary was filed in Justice
Harrngton's court yesterday. On the
Sth of last month the warehouse CT the
Boston & Montana company was FRO
ken into and quite a quantity OF sheet
copper stolen. The crime was traced
to Bond, who is young fe;c,:' just
approaching his majority. He has been
frequently suspected of similar trans
gressions. He succeeded in keeping
out of the way of the authorities till
a couple of days ago, when he was
located and arrested The original
charge brought against the Young man
was petit larceny, but in the time that
has elapsed since the robbery was
committed evidence has been gathered
which prompted the county attorney to
ask yesterday for the dismissal of the
old complaint and for permission TO
substitute the charge OF bur Il iry
Bond will have his arraignment to-
day.

A Wall street special says there is a
good deal Of excitement in California
over reports that the Union Pacific and
the Vanderbilts are largely interested in
the proposed Utah & Pacific extension
The scheme, as outlined. is that the
Utah q Pacific will complete so miles
of track now under construction to
Milford. the end of a Union Pacific
branch running southwest from Salt
Lake; that the Utah Southern will
build 500 miles to Marvel, to San Ber-
nardino, Cal, the terminus of rs
mile road leading to Blake, on the
Atchison, l25 miles from Los Angeles
While it is quite possible that the Utah
d Pacific may ultimately be the base
OF another transcontinentaI line it is
now entirely separate from either the
Union Pacific or Vanderbilt interests
none OF which have given the matter
or transcontinental line in that III
rection serious consideration. If the
scheme is feasible Colonel McCune, the
prime mover of the Utah & Pacific, is
quite capable of carrying it through as
faEas financial resources are concern
scheme may be set down as one Of the
beautiful possibilities of the future
without any real substantially in the
present.
Railway officials are practically a
unit in agreeing that in period of gen
eral prosperity the increase in miscel-
laneous tonnage will, TO large ex-
tent, make good the loss resulting from
shortage in any main crops. 1t has
also happened in most instances that
OF three great crops two have not been
seriously harmed in the same year. This
year the damage to winter wheat has
been great, but if spring wheat and
corn do we'll the maintenance of miscel-
laneous tonnage will keep earnings,
even of roads in the winter wheat belt.
