CIVIL CASES ARE
QUICKLY DISPOSED OF.

It took Judge Clancy just twenty min
utes this morning to dispose of four
civil cases set for trial, but some other
business was transacted by him.
The first case called was that Of Dam
iel Cutler VS.. Joseph Groggan and others.
1t had been settled out of court, each
side agreeing to pay it's costs. Then
came the action entitled the National
Tube Works company against the Ken
yon-Connell Commercial company. There
were no attorneys present for either side
and the judge vacated the setting, re-
marking as he penned the result: "Cor-
bstt & Welcome, attorneys for one side.
are doing business down at Washing
ton"
In the case of Simon Tobia VS.. Pedro
Gilletti, an action involving title to a
water right, an outside settlement was
announced and the setting vacated by
consent.
The suit of w. Paulting VS.. Louis Maui
rici had been also settled outside.
"Well, gentlemen of the jury" said the
judge, after the settings had been va
Gated, "the our suits docketed for trial
to-day ave been disposed of. Tomorrow
will be the anniversary OF George Wash
ington's birthday. and as it is a legal,
holiday i will have no work for you.
Come back again Friday morning at the
usual hour and possibly l can fix you
out"

ing and Developing company's property
at Gilt Edge will be increased. The 15O-
ton mill will be enlarged to 200 tons ca
pacity. .
Work has been resumed in the Snow
shoe tunnel near Libby. It is now in
LOO feet and will be continued until it
pierces the mountain a distance OF 2,7OO
feet. The concentrator will be in oper-
alton at this property about the first Of
April. The mine is looking exception
ally we'll.
The Red Lodge Picket says that a
smelter will he constructed early in the
spring on the Sunlight group of mines
between Red Lodge and Cooke.
Mr.. Nichols, who with others has taken
a lease and bond on the properties in
Brandon, Madison county, owned by Levi

THE COPPER MARKET.

The Daily Metal Market Report says
a year ago to-day large sales of AXE
copper for prompt delivery were being
made at 1S.5Oc. london alu were
within &c per ton Of those Of to-day.
Europe was very bearish; consumers
there had been buying from hand to
mouth, and London brokers were issuing
their manifestoes against the manipula-
ton Of prices by the American Upper
ring. To-day in some respects the posi-
ton IS reversed. Europe seems to be the
buyer and London brokers are no longer
decrying the statistical position as being
50 unsound as to warrant an immediate
decline and dire results as the effect of
present values. The world seems to have
adjusted itself to the present level Of
copper values. but the buoyancy of a
year ago in the United States is no long
er apparent, no weakness. but vet no ur-
gency to buy, and an undefinable some-
thing in the air that makes manufacture
ers and Others buy only for immediate
necessities or on very conservative lines
for their future wants.

ARB0R DAY WILL BE
OBSERVED BY SCHOOLS,

The teachers and pupils of the Butte
schools will observe Arbor day this year
at Columbia Gardens and the guest of
Supp rinte J. R.. Wharton of the
Butte Street Railway company. The in
v~itat.on was read at last nights meet
ing of the board of education, and on
motion of Mr.. Clinton was accepted.
The date of the outing has not been fix
ed, although it was suggested thai April
9th, would be about the proper day. The
spectacle of planting real trees will be a
novelty to many of the pupils of the
schools Of Butte, as heretofore the Arbor
day exercises have been confined to lit
erary efforts.
The rapid growth of the school popula-
ton of Butte and the apparent necessity
of new school buildings was discussed by
the board last night. Trustee Clinton was
of the opinion that a special two mill tax
levy would be necessary. This would
bring $4,000 for additional buildings.
| Trustee White favored a two mill levy for
this purpose, but Trustee Moulthrope
thought a smaller levy would be sufi-
cient. A special committee, consisting Of
Trustees White, Clinton, Giard and Moul-
thrope were appointed to look into the
matter and report at the next meeting.
Conroy & Morley notified the board Of
the acceptance of SIS, 900 insurance on the
Grant school boiler.
J. B. Warner, boiler inspector for the
Hartford Boiler Int Insurance
submitted a report on the Grant heating
plant. The report was very cofpliment-
airy to /. Kruger. the contractor, who in
stalled the plant.
Superintendent Hendricks reported that
the Grant school was opened Monday,
with an enrolment of 817 pupils. He re-
ported that the Aluminium school build
ing would be ready for in
about ten days, and that an eighth grade
would be established in the high school
building Don for north and west side pu-
pills.

peropolis. This camp was discovered
thirty-four years 8 and various at
temDts have been made to develop 1t
and the work this winter promises to be
crowned with success. The main shaft
has reached a depth Oh $50 feet and cross
ing in opposite directions on the lead
and there is a streak Of ore in a drift.
In the west drift a streak of seven and
a haff inches of ore was found that will
run from fifty to seventy-five per cent
copper. The ore in the west drift Is also
good. These streaks OF ore are on the
hanging wall of the lead and this is the
first work done on this wall. At $50
feet the drifts were run and ore chutes
found on the foot wall. But the lead
is 20 feet in width and each wall has to
be explored to determine If there is ore.
1t Is probable that the great lead has an
ore casing at each side but this Develop
ment must determine. Work on the
Darling Fraction has developed a two
foot streak of 80 1-s per cent copper ore,
twenty-five feet long, with Indications Of
it's being continuous for $50 feet. @ The
west drift on the 350-foot level will ex-
plore this chute when in about $50 feet.
The east drift on the main mine is also
running for a large outcrop of ote Suu'
feet east Of the shaft. Recently the la
boring force has been increased and
teams begun Monday to haul ore to the
railroad, it being the intention of Mr.. NC
DoWell to take out and ship several car
loads of ore, immediately. In fact there
is a carload on the dump-the result of
the exploration work.. This ore will run
from thirty to fifty per cent in copper
with depth and exploration the Copper
opolis mines will prove to be the richest
ever found in the state and of great val-
ue to their owners.

ward killed by a Boer she'll. which fell

EAST JERSEYS BILL URGENT
Reduction of Force Adds
$4,000 to the Availa-
BILE Funds.

The action of the Street and Water
Commissioners yesterday in dismlssing
batch of employees has aroused naturally
a lot of criticism, but the position OF the
Board is simply that having been told tnat
too much money is expended on salaries
it proceed to make the requested economy
and the city will save the magnificent sum
of So, 900 by the operation! This saving will
far to paying off the s2S5,000 and odd OF

The resolution making the saving was
as follows:-

seNow that these men are laid off there
will naturally follow certain emibarrass-
ments. and in lie event of any accident
to the MAINS" said one of the Commas
sioners, nothing could be done. 1t Is be-
heved that when certain people see the
matter in the proper light the men will
be renstated, even if the East Jersey
Water Company has to wait for for It's
b.. OF course a certain local paper con-
trolled by the East Jersey Water Com
pany howls and shouts about extrava-
gance in the water department and our
neglect to pay their company's bills, but
what have we got to do with it after
passing the claim? Let some other Off
cials explain why the money isn't paid.
Our duty is ended after we passed the
necessary resolution"
AS the News published yesterday, all
luOSe III dTIedIS VI WeltSi tcACo AAioot pay
up on or before February or have their
supply shut OFF. This action was the re-
suit of conference between the city
officials called to discuss ways and means
for meeting the East Jersey Water Com
panys claims. 1t was decided then that
in view of tn earrearages in the collec-
ton of water rents something must be
done towards getting in the money as
speedily as possible.
Since the publicity of the notice of the
Board that the water would be cut off in
the case of delinquents, many people have
already paid up and the Collector thinks
that before the date specified the majority
of the arrearages will be settled.

FAITH CURIST MAD.
Weisels Becomes Demented
While Attending Mount
Zion Sanctuary.

At the close of a meeting last evening.
held in the new Mount Zion Sanctuary,
at Bramhall avenue and Grand street, a
young man who, during the meeting was
seated in the rear of the church, became
noisy and then burst into a series of
shrieks, which rang through the entire
structure. Several members, including
Sister Antoinette Jackson and Brother
Hancox, went to quiet him. Their CT
forts were unavailing. He continued
shouting at the top of his voice until he
was almost exhausted.
The members came to the conclusion
that he was demented. Sister Jackson
endeavored to quiet the young fellow
second time when he regained his
strength and repeated his shrieks He
then struggled violently.
Several men held him by the arms and
legs, while others put rope around him
to keep him from doing damage. This
continued for almost an hour. Every
means in their power was employed to
relieve the suffering young man. Prayers
were offered for his relief, but the faith
of the worshippers of that denomination
proved of no avail.
DR.. Bull, who resides across the street
from the sanctuary, was summoned. lie
thought that the young man, whose name
was found later in Bible he carried,
was suffering from acute pneumonia The
doctor suggested that he be removed to
the City Hospital. The ambulance was
summoned but in the meantime the pa
tient continued to struggle violently. The
ambulance surgeon did not remove the
bindings on the patients arms and legs
until the hospital was reached.
The hospital authorities discovered the
name, Frederick Weisels, and the ad-
dress No. SO Columbia avenue, Union Hill,
in the Bible, which the demented man
used He was placed in padded cell
and he continued his violent shrieking
and raging all night.
Weisels was found quiet this morning.
The temporary fit of insanity had passed
away.
Weisels was arraigned before Justice
Potts this morning in the Oakland ave-
nue. court and committed to the County
Jail, to be examined by the County Physi-
clan. 1t was learned that Weisels had
been a member of the Mount Zion Church
for several months. He had never ex-
hibited symptoms of insanity previous to
last night.
