MINING NEWS
Big Dredging Machines For
Alder Gulch.
COST 100000 EACH
Company Has Big Tract of Land
Mining Investments-The
Copper Stocks.

An era of dredging machines has
dawned in Madison county and within
the next twelve month it is said. or as
soon as it can be accomplished advan-
tageously, twelve monster dredging ma
chimes, each costing in the ne%ighborhood
of 800, 0G0, will be installed by what is
really one concern-the German Bar and
Conrey Placer Mining companies.
These two concerns, which are practi-
cally one, began operations in Alder
gulch quietly about two years ago, and
have conducted a series of costly ex-
periments, some of which have proved
successful and others not, but which have
demonstrated beyond the pe%radventure
of doubt the values contained in the farm
lands at the mouth of Alder gulch, land
hat for So years had been considered by
tho natives as only good enough to raise
an Indifferent quantity of cabbage and
alfalfa upon. After the first years oper-
ations of the two companies the impress
sion went abroad, probably by design,
that the experimentation had resulted in
another gigantic failure, n guesses
We're made as to how long the companies
sack would hold out. But in the mean
time, while this talk was current, the
company was satisfied that it had the
world by the tail and a down-hill pull,
and quietly acquired all the gravelly
ground from several miles up the gulch
to the Ruby river, until it had nearly
everything that was Of any value. Then
the Maggie Gibson dredge was removed
bodily from Bannack and installed with
stories of success rivaling the lamp of
Aladdin. And now comes the positive
announcement that the company will at
once install twelve machines, similar to
the Maggie Gibson dredge. and that with
the ground the company has acquired, &c
years will be required to work it out.

INVESTMENTS IN N E

Clancy Miner: There is money enough
for investment in mines providing those
who own it could be satisfied they were
making a good investment. They have
seen so many fraudulent mining schemes
so many men deceived and so many So
called experts Lead those who follow them
to loss and ruin that they are naturally
doubtful about the value of any mining
scheme that may be represented to them.
They know that there are good mining
projects, in which investors can make
money; but how to distinguish the good
from the bad is the difficulty. They must,
if they invest, rely upon the Judgment
of some one else, n they don't know
whom to rely upon, SO they are slow to
invest.
Most of them, after their confidence Is
Won to such an extent that they are will
lng to invest, want nothing but a devel-
oped mine, in which the ore bodies are
blocked out n measured, and their
value estimated. A mining proposition
of this kind, to the majority of men,
presents a better appearance than any
other. But, with very few exceptions,
investments in this kind of properties
are disastrous: n the reason is not
difficult to find. 1t is inseparable from
the nature of the business. Men who
have worked a mine, who know each foot
of it as well as any expert could be ex-
pected to learn it, when they offer it for
sale may be expected to fix a price on it
fully equal to it's value. When it reaches
the purchaser it is loaded with commits
sions and expenses of selling that often
times exceed the owners price. This the
purchaser always pays, and it is. in the
great majority of cases, a payment for
no value or a loss.
The great fortunes of Haggin. Tevis,
Moffat. Walker Bros, Hayward, Wheel
er, Lester, Hearst, and the Clarks, STRAIT
ton, Cruise, DAILY and the scores of others
who have become m~illionaires in mining,
were not made by purchasing developed
mines. Invariably they We're made by
developing prospects into mines. This is
always the way the large sums are made
in mining, and the only way.

ADAM BROWN REMEMBERED.

In order to show their appreciation of
the work that has been one for their
lodge by Adam F. Brown, the members
of Pride of the West Lodge No. AZ, A. o.
U. w. of South Butte last night held a
social session to which members of that
order and the Degree of Honor and
friends were invited. After routine bust
ness had been transacted, George f.
Shale was introduced as chairman. of the
meeting, and in IN eloquent speech pre-
sented Mr.. Brow with one of the finest
banjos that could be procured in the
city. The recipient was completely taken
by surprise, but in a few well chosen
words thanked the members for their
gift. AS Mr.. Brown is a banjo artist, he
was kept busy during the remainder of
the evening rendering popular selections.
After the presentation those present en-
joyed a social dance, the music being fur
nished by Mrs. George f. Shale and Ed
Geiseke. Those who We're fortunate to
be in attendance had a most enjoyable
time. The committee that selected the
present vas composed of James Good, E.

GOLCONDA GULCH.

Clancy Miner: A gold discovery of
considerable Importance is reported from
Golconda gulch. in a claim owned by
Messrs. Lamb & Gorham, about five
miles southeast of Jefferson. They are
reported to have discovered a very large
ledge OF rock carrying free gold, some Of
it as rich as $4,000 to the ton. They al
ready have about twenty tons of it out,
which they will ship next week, and the
entire face of their drift is in rich ore,
without either wall. The discovery has
created considerable excitement in thai
vicinity, and a good many prospectors are
turning their attention to Golconda
gulch. The rock is said to be more plen-
tifully sprinkled with gold as the work
advances.

Macon McCormick's New York letter:
kills" was told again Monday night
when the game r%esolute, staunch and
true-hearted Kid Lavigne lost the light
weight championship of the world he so
worthily held for many years against all
corners. He was saved the modification
of being knocked out but he was so clear
~ outpointed that even those who bet Oh
him admit the justice of the decision. l
first took stock IN Lav.gne when I saw
him in Chicago clearly bested Young Critic
who was then newly arrived in America
and in his best form. He thought the boy
from the lumber town would be dead easy,
and for three rounds he looked to be.
Then he gained confidence and the way he
pounded Critic over the region of his kid
neys was a caution. Sam Fitzpatrick
seconded Critic, and he told me at the
finish of the sixth round (they only boxed
eight) his man said to him.: Il thought
him a chump, but he's the hardest propo-
sition I've struck for many a day" Had
the bout been to a finish Lavigne would
have put his man out beyond the eavil of
a doubt.
Since then Lavigne has met the best
men of his weight this country and Great
Britain could produce, and his success
was 50 g reat that he wen tackled weller
weights He had bad luck in California

his friends saw that he had shot his bolt
and that he was not the George Lavigne
Of five years ago. He hasn't been a hard
drinker, but he has toyed and dall.ed
with 1.-The tawny juice of the grape" and
eked with more democratic tipples a bit
more thar was good for him. He has had
many a hard hammering, too, for he
wasn't clever like KID Mccoy and Jim
Corbett, who though knocked out, hav
never found opponents who could black
their eyes or bloody their noses. He was
a give and take fighter, and as a victor
he often left a ring far worse punished
than the man he had defeated. A can.
non will only stand a certain amount
of firing. Then its metal crystallizes and
flies into fra gments. A fighter can only
stand a certain amount of punishment. 1t
weakens his vitality, deprives hin N, his
speed ard takes away his confidence, and
when this occurs he often falls a victim

SPORTING NEWS.

According to a San Francisco dispatch
1T appears that the next contest between
the big fellows is in a fair way to be de-
cided on the coast. With two different
offers, each of $40, 900 for the go between
Jeffrles and Sharkey, it is safe to say
that the westerners will cut a little ice
when the bids are opened. If Charley
Newman and the other people can pull off
the match without getting the authori-
ties after them there ought to be a mint of
money in it. Jeffries, of course, being a
Californian, would lend interest to the
affair. and Tom Sharkey is better known
there than in the east.
Speaking purely from the fight point of
View, it would be to the mutual advan-
tage OF everybody concerned if the mill
came off in California. The people out
there are fight hungry and nothing in
this world would satisfy their appetites
better than to have the next Champion
ship battle settled there.
Forty thousand dollars is a big purse to
go for, and it is doubtful that such a
purse could be offered by any New York
club. Only once before was a purse Of
that size offered and that was when Bob
Fitzsilnmons met Jim Hall the second
time at the Crescent City A. c.. of New
Orleans. The purse was supposed to be
$4,000, but when Fitz came to collect, the
4 O,O0O had dwindled down to about $3,-
500.

The new champion, Jim Jeffries, isn't
much of a talker, but his reverend daddy
can c~hin-whack for the family. jim had
hardly licked Fitzsimmons before Jeffries
senior, discovered that he was needed in
that quarter of the vineyard" denomi-
mated Frisco, where he has been doing
a land office business exhortlng and Incl
dentally, | presume, passing the hat.
James has 50 far ignored Kid McCoy'5
challenge and has left uncovered his
deposit of 800 for a match. He an
nounces though that he is willing to
meet Jim Corbett, if Jim really desires a
fistic encounter, after he has disposed of
Sailor Boy Sharkey, and he doesn't seem
to have a ghost of a doubt of his ability
to accomplish this task in the fall. Shar-
key is still in the west bound tight in the
letters of Cupid, and report has it that
he may fetch a bride east with him when
he comes. He can fight a bit, can Tom,
and he can brag and blow about his abll-
.tv a good deal. Tom O'Rourke should
have his stories edited, however, before
he allows them to be printed. Not long
ago Sharkey's excuse for his poor Show
ing with Jeffries in Frisco was a lama
back. Now he intimates that he was
sick" If the big boilermaker IS all
right when they meet in October ! dom
er Sharkey is lame, il! or well, the final
result is likely to be the same.
The manager OF Sammy Maxwell,
champion light weight pugil.st of Aus
tralia and also the Pacific coast writes to
Billy Woods to secure a match at the club.
Maxwell has conquered Young Gr.tfo
(when Critic was in Australia and was
right also Martin Denny and Jimmy
La wlor and is a hummer. Woods believes
that Kid Ogelsby of Helena would be the
best man in this section of the country to
match against Maxwell and as the Kid
is ambitious to get to the front a defeat
of Maxwell would establish him fairly
among the fighters of the day. Ogels-
by most likely will be glad for the chance
and the public here can look for another
Maher and Needham fight should these
two be matched.

Charley Matherson gets after Frank
Erne because the latter's manager, big
Bill Kennedy, is talking of taking Erne
to Europe and fighting Dick Burge. HN
thinks that Erne ought to stay in New
York and take on McFadden, Hawkins,

other lightweig hts who are chasing Erne
for a match. ! think Charley ought ia

lad might come dangerously near max
ing Franks claim to the title one Of short

lishmen would Ike to see the man that
bested the man that defeated Burge, and
by all means give them a chance to sat
isfy their curiosity.
Apropos of this Erne and Lavigne af.
fair it is refreshing to learn that they are
not calling each other names. The day af-
ter thefight Erne said: ''Lavigne is the
gamest fellow l ever met. Look at my
punishment and come right back for

hated to bang away at his bleeding nose,

& Bob began to grow popular. l am
glad to side in with them and bear wit
ness to the fact that today Fitz is more
popula in this city than he ever was be-
fore. Bob never was a popular cham
plon. There were two auseS that brought
about this effect. One was the fact that
Fitz himself did little talking and was
not a sociable fellow in the way that Cor
bett and John l.. were. Fitz couldn't set
in with a push and sit at a able in a cafe
and make himself congenial to a crowd Of
sports whom he had just been introduce
ed to. He ouldn talk and he wasn't q
whirlwind at speaking either. He would
sit quietly for a while and let Julian do
the talking. Then he would excuse him
self and slide away to bed. Besides, Bob
had a very poor emo for faces and
names. He has frequently. when on the
circuit, been introduced to people and
made somefreedom with them and Their
be entirely in ignorance as to who they
We're when he met them again. In this
respect Jim Corbett had an advantage
over Fitz, as Corbett, no matter when or
where he met a person, always knew the
person when he saw them again and could
recall the exact circumstances under
which thew met.
