MINES AND MINING
Butte Copper Mines Not III
creasing output.
r JUST AS USUAL
Copper Stocks Quiet--Parrot Advances
Two POin!s.-NeWS Of
the Mines.

Notwithstanding the activity in the
copper market and the high price quoted
for that metal. the Butte copper proper
ties are not making any special efforts to
increase their output. The mines are all
being worked as usual. the same care be-
ing devoted to development ana the OPEN
ing UP of new bodies without any effort
to exhaust the visible supply. Additional
depth is being gained daily by all the big
producers and judging by the increasing
orders for new machinery to work the
properties to a greater depth, the bottom
has not yet fallen out of the Butte dis
trict.
The Parrot bears on the Boston Stock
Exchange have probably exhausted their
ammunition. Opening at 46 this morning
it steadily advanced to AS, a sharp drive
giving it a downward tendency at that
point. but it quickly recovered and at $50
o'clock was quoted at $4S. Boston and
Montana stock was prominent in the
neighborhood of 1872, but there was a
slight sliding off in Butte n Boston
which was pegged during the day at $S9A.
A little activity was shown in Utah Con.
which advanced from $44 to $45, but under
the bearish sentiment receded to S44. 1t
is predicted that all the Butte copper
stocks will make a big gain during the
coming week.

A new case commenced in the district
court at Boulder relates to a part interest
in the First Shot mine, which is under
leas and bond to Messrs. Sherlock n
Lyon of Boulder. and Burgess of Helena,
and from which ore shipments have COM
menced. Samuel Erickson brings suit
against Hyatt & Dolenty, owners of the
bank of Townsend, arei ~recites in his
complaint that he borrowed from the de-
fendants Sl13.50 for the period of60 days
and for security deposited with them a
deed to an eight interest to the First hot
mine in Cataract district: also a bill of
sale of the profits and royalties accruing
from the lease and bond under which the
property is now being worked.
Learning that the mine was turning out
some wonderfully rich ore he deposited
with the bankers when the note was due,
$50. as he claims to apply on the lndebt-
ednesS. and later rendered the balance of
the sum due and asked for a return of
the deed, which was refused. The an
swer to the complaint is not filed, but it
is understood that the defendants will
claim hat the $50 was accepted merely
as a bank deposit and not as a payment
on the note or a part of it. An eighth
interest in the mine is probably worth
several thousand dollars.

PONY AND SAND CREEK.

Whitehall Zephyr: John r. Evans has
been on the ground a week and has gone
all through the workings of the Golden
Sunlight mines. He will have charge of
the work and about a dozen men will be
employed in putting the mine in shape.
1dleness has made considerable work
necessary before mining to the capacity
of working IS possible.
Sand Creek, which has had more than
it's shares of ups and owns, is looking up
a little. The McVey is being worked, and
the WhippoOrWlll, owned by Charles
Meyeys, is active, and the work lone is
satisfactory 1t is a small but very rich
lead. A TUNE! has been run this winter
on a property for DR.. Grigg. N. J. Nell
son came out from Butte last week and it
is said that he is preparing to go to work
on a leased mine. So all things consid-
cred, the denizers of Sand Creek expect
the camp to shake off its lethargy this
season and do some mining business.
Pony is to have a good year during 1899.
The mines encountered three bad months
at the outset of '99, but there are we'll
posted men who say that the total output
will be larger tina ever before. Pioneers
assert that not for 20 years has there
been such a snow fall as the Pony coun-
try has had this winter. Hauling ore
from the mountain mines has been an
impOssibillty, but the weather has not
prevented miners from pi,ing up a good
quantity for the spring hauling. The
Garnet Mining company has carried on
mining and nave a good supply for q
seasons mill run. The same may be
said of the Clipper. The Pony mine, be-
ing worked by Morris and Field, has been

"BEARING" COPPERS;

The United States investor says "the
jumping off point in coppers must be
near las in the case of the boy who
climbed to the masthead, stood erect
thereon, and then found the only way to
the deck was to jump, and that
the insanity in the copper movement has
run longer than anticipated is shown by
the fact that the original predictions
were Sc for Butte, 200 for Montana and
500 for Calumet, which have since been
quoted at nearly double these predictions.
The Investor says that in effect Mr.. Law
son advises everybody to sell all the cop
per stocks in which he is not interested,
and that the delicacy of Mr.. Lawson's
humor is lost upon those who ave not
followed his career rather closely from
the; start. 1t declares that Parrot is
evidently wanted at a low valuation to
make it help pay dividends on such an
apparently worthless stock as Butte &,
Boston, which appears to be as far away
from earning a dividend for itself as the
earth is from the MOON

THE LEAD TRUST.

Denver Mining Reporter: Lead sold at
the metal exchange, New York, on Feb
ruary 8, at Sd. so per 100 pounds, cash. The
price sent out by the lead trust brokers'
quotation was $3.50, and while for days
cash sales were made at $4.75 and above,
the lead trust sent out day after DAY
81. 20 as the selling price. Perhaps the
law cannot reach that kind of larceny.
It is quite probable hat New York courts,
would hold such methods of gain as
legitimate and proper, but to those VINO
have remaining some sense or business
integrity ard self respect, such transac-
tons are unspeakably dishonorable and
reprehensible. ~ -
Between the lead trust, as 1t was and
as it is, and the smelter trust that is to
be, the silver-lead miner will have to-
take to the woods or consent to a further
surrender. of the profits of his industry
to greed, unless, taking counsel of the
combination against him, the owners and
producers of silver-lead ores enter into a
cooperative agreement and proceed to
smelt their ores themselves.
But the market for bullion-the lead
trust will refuse to buy. Where there is
a will there is a way. Faint heart never
won in the fight against wrong. A mar
ket can be found in Europe, and British
gold can be had in exchange. Don say
can't. A mouse cut the cord which held
the lion captive. Ernest and efficient
working together for the common and in
dividuaI interest Of the producer can
draw the teeth. of the trust and build
up industries at mining centers which
will not only secure to the producers the
full value of his ore, but will also in
. crease the tonnage and develop other
mines and new business.
While the trusts are cOnSpiring to take
from the producer still more of the value
of his ore, let the producers proceed to
cooperate in their own behalf to save
more of these values for themselves. And
by so doing they will be working out
their own salvation in the ownership of
those utilities necessary to their business
and to the welfare of manhood and good
citizenship of all those whose daily bread
depends upon the profitable working of
silver-lead mines.

THE SPECTATORS AMUSED
During the Neutrality-suspicious. Were
Frequent. But He Could Not
Be Suppressed.

TIL trial Of the suit of Archibald
Smith against John G. Conn to recover
judgment for money alleged to be due
as a balance for business transactions
between them during 1896 and the year
following, was resumed in Judge Clancy's
court this morning. The plaintiff testi-
fled yesterday, but vas called again this
morning to rebut some testimony given
by the defendant. Being quite an old
man, he was allowed considerable lati-
tude, and in consequence the case was
not so dull as it might have been had
the conditions been different. Smith is
something of a talker, and when asked
to explain a particular transaction per-
tanning to the case. he did it in his own
peculiar way, and it was beyond the
owe of anyone to stop him. He would
neither allow his own lawyer nor the at
torney for the other side to say anything
when he wanted to talk. He denied be-
ing indebted to Conn, but on the other
hand alleged that Conn owed him.
The parties to the suit are ranchers in
the Deer Lodge valley, and the difference
between them grew out of the cutting
and sale of some hay.
The testimony was closed at 10 o'clock,
and the judge instructed the jury before
the arguments We're made. J. H. Duffy,
who represented the plaintiff, waived
his right to address the jury first and
Attorney Kohl went to the bat. While
talking he made a statement regarding
the plaintiffs part in the transaction,
and the latter interrupted him..
Keep still, Mr.. Smith," said the judge,
"and let the attorney talk"
Gentlemen continued Kohl, II feel
sorry for the. old man."
You needn't" exclaimed Smith, MAX
ing a straight shoot for the water tank.
After taking a drink of cold water he
walked back to his seat in front of the
Judges throne and remained silent dur
ing the balance of the proceedings.
During the progress of the trial yester-
day afternoon one of the witnesses occu-
plying a seat in the back part of the room
began pulling at a lighted cigar.
NJ Bailiff.' said the judge, there is
an old haymaker back there smoking a
cheap cigar. I wish you would stop
him" rs-
H. The order was obeyed.
o The jury took the case shortly before
II o'clock, and at noon returned a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff for $3.50 and
costs of the suit.

Fatal Rush of snow That Seemed
TO BE Started by "A Human Voice.

n FatHI nush OF snow Ihat seemed
TO BE Started by IA Human Voice.
From the Rocky Mountain News.
Is 1t true that the sound of the human
voice may start a snowsllde? James Per-
is inclined to answer the question in the
affirmative. He has for twenty years past
been almost of the belief that a word of
farewell which he shouted In one of the
mountain canons cost the lives of two per-
sons.
Il never think of the event without a
shudder" said Mr.. Perchard yesterday. II

host urged me to stay while and take
smoke with him, but i felt nervous and
impatient for some reason which 1t was
impossible for me 10 explain, and declined
as politely as possible the kind invitation.
II arose from the table and without de-
canon, turned to wave farewell to the
friends who had entertained me. The man
and his wife were standing at the door OF
the cabin and a third person was la the
house. The air was perfectly still Not
the slightest intlmation was given of the
awful disaster which was about to happen.
l waved my hand and shouted 'Good-by.'
Hardly had the echoes of my voice died
away before muffied sound struck the
cara noise like the boom OF a cannon
and the whole side of the mountain SEEM
ed TO be in motion. The snow, Ice, trees
and rocks started toward the bottom of
the gulch and within five seconds the
cabin was overwhelmed and the spot ON
which had stood one or two minutes be-
fore was buried under fifty feet of snow.
