TWO BAD GIRLS
Tears of Their Mothers Do Not
Affect Them
PREFER REFORM SCHOOL
Annie johnson and Celia Decker Have
No Liking For the Straight
and Narrow Path.
PREFER REFORM SCHOOL

Two aged ladies weeping bitterly and
pleading with crring daughters was a
spectacle Witnessed in the city Jail to-
day. Although visibly affected by the
anguish displayed by their parents, the
girls would not agree to mend their ways,
and preferred the reform school to the
proposition offered them. The girls are
not yet of legal age, and their compare
lively brief experience in the shameful
life they have chosen has not yet taught
them the misery and degradation of such
an existence. They desire to spend the
remaining days of their minority in the
reform school, casting aside old friends
and home connections.
Annie Johnson and Celia Decker are
the two girls referred to. They We're ar
rested by officer Lowney at midnight last
night in May Barrett's lodging house.
They were in company with a man
named Walter Murphy, alias Johnson,
and as they are both under IS years of
age their mothers asked that they be held
on charges of incorrigibility. When the
officer e to the room he was met by
Murphy, who, after hearing what was
wanted, slammed the door in the officers
face. Lowney did not mind a little thing
like that and was soon in the room and
had all three under arrest. Murphy this
morning pleaded guilty to a charge of
resisting an officer and was sentenced
to pay a fine Of $25. The girls are very
indignant because of Murphy's misfor-
tune, and say that he was only sticking
up for them. and asked the officer not to
take them into custody. They state fur
Their that they have only been away from
home since Sunday.
Mrs. Decker, while speaking to an
Inter Mountain reporter, sobbed in a
heart-broken manner and said:
My God! What can ! do? want the
girl to start anew and go with me to
Helena. 1 will work night and day for
her, but she says she prefers to go to the
reform school. Oh, l don't know what
to do"
Her sobs choked her utterance and
Mrs. Johnson silently took her by the
arm and led her away.
Celia Decker has been to the reform
school before, but was released upon petit
ton of the loving mother. The girl, how
ever, could not be kept within bounds,
and once more it was found necessary to
! call in the assistance of the police. The
! girls say that their fathers are at present
residing in Denver, but do not know
what business they are engaged in. The
bond of friendship getween the girls ap-
pears to be very strong, and for a year
and a half they have been ~inseparable
companions. Annie Johnson said today,
1T would break my heart to leave
Celia. Whether she goes to the reform
school or to Helena, | will
her. She wants to go to the reform
school, SO I will go, too"

COPPER WATER.

In the current issue of the Mining and
tributes the following relative to the cop
per water of Butte:
One of the most serious and perplexing
problems relating to mine drainage is en-
countered in places where the water is
strongly acid and impregnated with
metallic salts. The conditions named
have existed for years at the Anaconda
mines, and almost every conceivable
means has been employed to overcome the
corrosive action of the water on the pipes
and pumps, the destruction being great
est where the velocity of the water is
high. for instance, on the valve seats and
faces.
Naturalization of lime. of the acid in
the water, is resorted to in cases where
the value of the metallic contents of the
water is low, but in the Anaconda, st.
Lawrence and High Ore mines there is
so much copper carried in the water that,
great as the expense of pumping is, it still
pays to avoid naturalization, as almost
all the copper in solution is recovered by
passing the water through precipitation
tanks containing old iron of every de-
scription, from tin cans to old boilers,
cages, etc.
AT these mines it was found long ago
that iron column pipes, iron fittings and
pump barrels would speedily be convert
ed into a spongy mixture of copper and
rust, so that brass fittings were used and
the column pipe lined with sheet lead.
This did pretty well until it vas found
hat the vibrations of the column, due to
the action of thetpumps,. soon shook loose
the lead lining and. the pipe would be i'm
mediately destroyed. Then, in order to
support the lead, it was found necessary
to inc the pipe inside the lead with nicely
fitted wooden slaves, which,. when wet,
would swell and hold the lead to the in
side of the pipe. This is found fairly sat
isfactory, but, if the least leak exists in
the lead lining. a small hole in the iron
column pipe is an almost immediate re-
suit, and. if the leak is not stopped, the
pipe is attacked on the outside by the
water from the leak, causing great dam
age.
! The next serious trouble was found in
the brass fittings and pump barrels,
plungers, etc. 1t was discovered that, if
there was ever a small proportion of zinc
in the composition, the acid water would
relentlessly hunt it out, from a sound
casting, the piece would be converted into
a weak, worthless SPONGE.
To meet this difficulty all pump barrels,
plungers and fittings are made from a
special bronze, containing no zinc at all
a very difficult metal, by the way, from
which to secure sound castings.
After years of experiment and expense
the problem of pumping has been pretty
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-24
well solved, but outside the pumps and

well solved, but outside the pumps and
columns the destruction caused by this
copper Water,' as it is called in Butte. is
very great. The destructive effect of this
water on iron and steel reaches it's most
serious phase in it's insidious attacks on
the hosting ropes, running in the wet
shafts, which are constantly exposed to
the action of the water, and the VapOr,
which is scarcely less acid than the
water. The greatest care is exercised in
the tarrinS and repairing of the rope. and
there are always several extra ropes kept
at each mine in order that ropes in ac-
ton may be repaired or tarred the instant
they show the effects of the water.
The cages suffer severely also, the
water flowing over them eating away the
iron in a surprisingly short time. and its
intrusive effect is so great hat it will eat
in around a solidly driven rivet and
loosen it until worthless. The bonnets.
braces and guide shoes On the cage, are
all heavily copperplated from the drip
ping of the water, and it is q constant
menace to the security of the kingbolt.
which is in a particularly exposed posi-
ton. The landing dogs and station chairs
soon present the appearance of charred
sticks of wood, and are notched and
scanned wherever the water drips on
them-some fibers resisting better than
others. with the result that solid wrought
iron takes the appearance of weather.
| Worn wood.
Another source of annoyance is the
| water that comes up On the ropes lying
all over the engines, staining the bright
work wherever it touches, and the fact
that the ropes have to be kept freshly
tarred makes it almost impossible to keep
the engine roomsn neat, for the tar flies as
we'll as the water and keeps the wipers
busy scraping it off--a difficult feat while
the engines are running, as these do, for
"a hours Il day.
The water is so full of acid that it
speedily destroys the clothes of the men
that work underground, %rotting the cloth
in a few weeks SO as to be useless. and a
drop of it in the eye is a serious matter,
as it means pain and Inflammation for
hours and sometimes days; and if it is
hot, as it often is, serious injury is likely
to result.
1t is fortunate that such difficulties are
not often encountered or the expense n
trouble would prove to be the last straw
to many a promising mine, struggling, as
most such mines are, under a heavy load
of preliminary expense. At the Anaconda
mines, however, by means of the precipi-
tatiOn on iron of the copper contained in
the water the scrap pile always an eye
profit made over the total expense of
, pumping and maintenance of plant, so
that the copper water although not an
unmixed blessing, has it's compensations
in this case.

The most blasphemous statement, was

was to the effect that there were too
many people in the world; that war and
pestilence were required to decimate the

not keep pace with the population. 1t has
been said right here in America that we
do not want any more immigration; that
this is our country and that there is
not enough to feed the hordes that seek
our shores. Pity it is hat the Indians did
not say that 400 years ago. There is not
a foot of land in all America that does not
belong as much to the u~nspeakable Turk

to feed every human being in the world.
Look at Japan, not as large as Texas,

Why is this? Because corporations in Tex
