HOTEL GOSSIP.

IO LII 0OODI1
During the past three days there has
been quite a little English colony gather
ed together at the Knutsford The globe
trotting Britishers may easily be identi-
ned by their attire which in every case
embraces extremely heavy shoes and
combinations cut to allow a generous
stoop, the tout ensemble in one case be-
ing topped on by the characteristic super
cIItous stare which is focused through
a Picadilly morocle Among the Eng-
nshmen who have inscribed their auto
graphs upon the hotel register are: DR..
Tempest Anderson of the old catedral
city Of York; !. Darcy Lever, DR.. X. +.
Lund and James Webster from busting
and gr1n1y Liverpool, and r. l.. Black
man and II. A. Andrae from dear old
LuHnon. With the exception of Dr.
Anderson, who has been on an explora-
ton trip among the Zuni Pueblos the
entire party, VINO are travelling individu-
ally. are upon pleasure bent
Among the guests that are stopping at
the Kenyon is Carl Kleinsehmidt, ir.. or
Helena, Mont, special receiver of the
Minnie Healy copper mine. The occasion
OF Mr.. kIeinschmidt's visit to this city
IS the marketing of $500 tons of Peacock
ore in which ne is interested from the
fact that he recently made the sale of
the Peacock property in the Seven Devils
district to the Whytcomb syndicate of
OF the state Of Montana yesterday he
said
When one takes into consideration the
tact that Montana today has only 200, 900
inhabitants, its annual output is mar
velous. OF course mining comes essenti-
ally first and foremost, but at the same
time stock and general ranching interests
are beginning to cut a big figure in the
exports of the state. Butte is without
doubt the star mining town of the west,
and the amount of capital that is invested
IN the latest up-tO-date machinery there
Is a staggerer. Butte has in the past held
the reputation Of being a very unhealth-
ful place to reside in but now that, with
the exception of the Heinze plant, all
the smelters have been removed further
Out, Butte Is not so bad as some people
would lead you to imagine.
At the present time politics is agi-
tatlng the people and from the recent
democratic convention, or rather con-
Ventions that have been held in Butte it
seems as though the Clark-Daly fight
VIII be carried over to Kansas City with
the result that il will be up to the ma
tienal convention to decide which of the
two groups of delegates will be entitled
20 recognition. 1t Is pity that the af-
fair ever happened but it simply resolves
! itself down to a personal fight between
the two men with the Sympathies of the
people largely in favor of Clark"
'Phew! This weather reminds me of
Virginia. said c. B. Orcutt of Richmond,
as he wiped his fevered brow outside the
Kenyon at 0 clock yesterday afternoon.
i thought that Utah was noted for its
FAMOUS Italian climate. When / woke
UP TINS morning and looked out of the
car window upon a bowling desert and
the brakeman informed me that this was
Utah l nearly tainted. Not a dog in
sight and 1 really became homesick to
see regular grinning southern niger.
However, Utah is all right when you get
into the settled portions, and your city

Fred Presbery the genial chief clerk
at the. Kenyon, last night RECALLED a
crowd of drummers under the portico
with few leaves from his auto
biography. When / was running a
hotel up at Seattle a couple of years
ago., he said, Il had occasion to engage
a young Englishman as night clerk. 1t
/ happened that on his first night on duty
! there was an extra. run on the call sheet

'Th lawfully sorry, don't yer know
/ but the Z o'clock calls are hall taken up
and ave nothing left but S:15," answered
/ the Englishman who was falling all over
/ himself in order to please the patrons.
THE guest stormed and ragged, but il
/ was OF no avail and finally [ was hauled
i out of bed to settle the difficulty"
At this juncture W. D. Davidson oil
