THE MINES
Boston & Montana Touched a
Low Point.

Republic.

Boston & Montana stock dropped to
$3.50 yesterday on the Boston Stock Ex-
change and the Butte holders of that
stock on margins We're given a severe
shaking up. Just what caused the de-
cline cannot be learned. Certainly there
was nothing developed in the condition
of the properties hat would justify it.
The mines are producing more than their
usual quota of high grade copper ore,
while the plant at Great Falls is being
enlarged for the purpose of increasing
it's capacity.
A peculiar feature in the copper market
situation yesterday was that Boston &
Montana was the only stock that declin-
ed. The local brokers were overwhelm-
ed with orders to purchase at 1890 or $500
but to all inquiries sent out the Boston
brokers replied that they would not pur-
chase the stock on margins. So conf
dent are many of the wealthy specula-
tors OF Butte that the fluctuations in
Boston & Montana stock are due to
manipulation, that there is some talk
Of forming a big pool for the purpose Of
purchasing the stock outright when an
other occasion like yesterday presents
itself. That the drop was caused by
the manipulators at Boston was evident
to-day when the stock closed at 1905.

DREDGING OPERATIONS.
MONTANA MEN OPERATING CALI
FORNIA PLACERS.

G. A. Kornberg, the civil engineer, for
merly of Butte, who cleaned up a few
thousands at the Hihernia mine and who
has been a resident of San Francisco
for the past three years. is in a fair way
to become a millionaire.
Mr.. Kornberg is the inventor of a
dredge, embracing some new principles,
which has been pronounced a success by
mining men. One dredge, costing $780,
900, is now in use in Placer county, Cal
where a tract Of placer ground contain
ing 100 acres has been purchased. The
ground has been sampled and is said
to yield about 10 cents to the yard.
Mr.. Kornberg has organized a COM
pany and has already sold enough stock
to pay for the ground. Active opera
tons will begin at once. Mr.. K%ornberg's
dredge has the endorsement Of Franklin
Farrell, formerly president of the Parrot.
The inventor first assured himself of it's
successful operation by constructing a
smaller dredge which he subjected to a
thorough test. The dredge about to be
operated is an exact duplicate of the
smaller one. A great feature of the ma
chine is that it requires very little water
in it's operation.
Another former Montana man who is
successfully operating placer ground in
California is Thomas Couch, formerly of
the Boston & Montana company. Mr..
Couch is operating on a large.scale and
will shortly put in another dredge.

TIE KATIE.
SHUT DOWN WILL ONLY BE TEN.
PORARY.

Boulder Age: There is great regret
that work at the property of the Basin
and Bay State Mining company, includ-
ing mine, mill m smelter, was ordered
discontinued last Friday, but there is a
general belief that it will be only tenn
porary. About $500, 900 have been spent
there in the past two years in construc-
ting one of the best mis- and one Of the
most complete smelling plants in the
United States. The scheme had for it's
foundation the bodies Of ore in the Katie
mine with the additional plan of doing
custom work, and the mill and smelter
were so perfectly arranged in mechani-
cal appointments that ore can be handle
cheaper and better than in most plants
of the kind. The money was mostly
raised in the east, the stockholders be-
ing in Boston and vicinity. The Glass
brothers were in charge, and while there
are no specific statements as to the disa-
greenent between the directors and the
Glass brothers it seems to be definite
that they are relieved from the manage
ment OF the co3lpany's affairs at BASIN,
and Mr.. G. NJ. Allen who has made his
home in Basin for some time past and
who lis interested in the mpa is in
stalled as general manager. Notwith-
standing the great amount of money
spent, the company does not appear to
be financially embarrassed out paid the
men as soon as they We're laid off. While
it seems odd that a change of manage
ment should take place just as the works
were ready to start yet there is little
doubt that work will be resumed in a
very short time, and it will become a
great and prosperous enterprise.

ing questions about how much of this
money he proposed to return to Mr..
Blckford ii in excess of his legitimate
expenses when counsel for Welcome OBJ

Il would like to know from Mr.. No

I understand that the state is paying
them and we would like to know how
this can be done in a civil action. If
the state is paying witness fees we
would like to pass up our bill for fees
too.'
He demanded IN answer from the at

testified that in regard to the payment
of the fees he had told the state treas
urer that if he saw fit to pay them the
legislature would undoubtedly reimburse
him after the supreme court allowed the
account. In explanation to the court
Mr.. Nolan said that was the method fol-
