A Just Complaint.

The citizens of Taze well Avenue
are decidedly of the opinion that
they should not be afflicted with the
miserable ditch, extending, as it
does, tho entire length of the street,
and the only purpose it serves is as
a padding place for ducks, and
frogs, The health of the women
and childred in that locality is joo-
pardised. The water stands there
nearly all the time, emitting foul
stenches, and is offensive to all
decent people and disgrace to the
town. There is scarcely worse
ditch on any back street in the
smallest back-woods town in the
State. If such ditch was on
Main street it would not be tolerated
longer than than it took to drain it,
Notwithstanding few people 1.-Two on
Main street. To be compelled to
live near such foul nuisance, night

outrage. When the last town

to be looked nfter. But if anything
of the kind has been done no body
knows of it. If the people on this

just, and we hope the wise and

The Ella in Meaderville a
Wonderful Producer.
Stacking SILVER GLANCE
May Probably Turn to Copper With
Depth--Dividend RumOrS--
the Bloomington Sale.

The most remarkable mine in Silver
Bow county at present and one which is
engaging the attention of mining men is
the Ella in Meaderville, from which very
rich ore is being shipped TO local samp-
ling works. The mine is Il puzzle to all,
but q source of great profit to the stock
holders, all of whom are Butte men.
Its history shows what grit and perse-
verance in the face of great obstacles can
accomplish. A few years ago John r.
Bordeaux Jumped the Ella from the
H. and Montana company on the
& of some defect in the title. He
a., .ted himself with a few men of
Butte. all of whom had little experience
in practical mining. But they went to
work with a good will, Incorporated the
company for $1,000 shares and began the
development of a shaft. Mining experts
laughed at them and expressed the be-
lief that it was good money being thrown
away.
The Ella is located near the old Butte
and Boston smelter site, adjoining the
school house. 1t has been generally held
that the copper deposits of the district
did not extend across the creek on the
N"D~S N"> " oA GtIS Lex w
the Boston n Montana serv-
ing IN a great measure to confirm this
theory. Silver in paying quantities had
never been discovered in the locality and
all the Ella operators had to hope for
was the very uncertain chance of strik-
ing copper. Work was begun and a
shaft n For many months there
after the stockholders put up assess
ments with unvarying regularity and
there appeared to be nothing in sight
but chlorides of disappointment. Some
of the stockholders tired of putting up
assessments and gladly gave away their
stock, considering themselves lucky to
be able to do so, while the men who ac-
cepted it had many misgivings.
FINALLY some months ago a small lead
of silver ore was cut and since then the
mine has been growing richer daily.
About a week ago the. workmen opened
up a body Of argentite or silver glance,
which is almost pure silver, some of it
assaying as high as 4,50O ounces to the
ton. The lead runs from eight inches to
three feet and the ore is nov being sack
ed preparatory to shipment. However,
during the past month several shipments
of ore which averaged between 200 and
made. sS
The stockholders believe that the sill
Yer ore will eventually turn into copper
with depth and the shares which once
went begging cannot now be purchased
for less than 500, although a few sales
were made about ten days ago at SIS.

THAT ANACONDA DIVIDEND.

The statement has been made periodi-
cally for the past few weeks that the
Anaconda would pay a dividend and
Butte holders OF the stock have been anx-
iously awaiting the official
ment. A New York dispatch of late date
says:
For some time the declaration of an
interim or extra dividend by the Ana
conda Copper Mining company has been
impatiently awaited. The ompany de-
clares 10 per cent regular dividend, pay
able s~emi-annually. It's prosperity has
increased SO much of late that it is the
intention of the management to double
the next ~semi-annual dividend. We are in
a position to- state that official %nounc
ment OF this fact will not be long de-
ferred. 1t is also understood on excel
lent authority that in a short time the
Amalgamated Copper company will be-
gin the payment of dividends at the rate
of eight per cent a year
