kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used TO be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

THE P P MARKET.

The copper market is strong and while
the production continues ait an enormous
rate the demand is sufficient to keep pace
with the output. The copper business has
ssumed such large dimensions that con
tinued heavy shipments from this coun-
try are assured for the balance Of the
year.
For the first seven months of the cur
rent year the production of the metal
was 1852, 900, $50 pounds, against 1926, 1856, 800
pounds in the corresponding period of
last year, an increase of about 8 per cent.
From Jan. l to Aug. L.. 1900, the foreign
reporting copper mines produced 49,
1886, 040 pounds, against ia, 2S2, $50 pounds
in the corresponding period off 1899. For
the sever months ending July 81, 1900,
the combined American n European
production was 446, 1874, 400 pounds, an in
crease of 25, 315, 040 pounds, compared
with the same period Of last year. The
increase by the domestic and foreign
mines for the seven months has been on
an average of about 1915, 434 pounds per
month.
The foreign demand for copper has in
creased enormously. Inc during the seven
months of this year this country has
been called upon to hip GAG per cent OF
the entire home production. During that
time the exports Of copper from this
country to foreign ports oun TO

TO ENJOIN THE CITY.
BILL POSTERS DO NOT WANT

Believe It Unconstitutional-Sav Civ
Threatens to Tear Boards
Down.

Montana Bill Posting & Sign service
brought suit on injunction today against
the city of Butte to prevent the latter
from interfering with the various adver-
Using bill boards in the city. The COM
plant is verified by G. A. Harnois, secre-
tary of the plaintiff company. William
p. Carroll is the legal adviser of the sign
service. The complaint states that the
plaintiff owns about fifteen bill boards
in the city and that the defendant has
threatened to tear them down under the
provisions of city ordinance 521 govern
ing the maintenance of bill boards with
in the fire limits. The plaintiff alleges
that this ordinance is unconstitutional:
that it, the plaintiff, has contracts with
various business houses and others for
advertising on these bill boards and any
Interference with the boards would result
in pecuniary loss to it. The plaintiff
asks that the city be temporarily re-
strained from enforcing the ordinance
and the order made permanent when the
matter is heard in court. It also requests
that an order be made enjoining the city
from arresting or molesting any of the
officers or agents of the plaintiffs. Judge
Clancy will adjust it.

BUTTE ORE VALUES.

Accordingto the statements filed for
taxation rpo with the ounty assess
or by the mining companies of Butte
the Boston & Montana is the highest
grade mining property in the district.
The total output Of ore from it's mines
averages nine per cent copper, or about
100 pounds of copper to the ton. The sill
yer and gold values make the gross yield
per ton about $50. The fact that more
han so per cent of the gross earnings
of the Boston & Montana are clear prof
it is explained by the high grade of it's
ores.
The Butte & Boston is also a high
grade property, but only the richest of
it's ore has been treated. The gross value
per ton Of the ore of this company was
$14.50, while the Anaconda ores only av-
eraged about $13 per ton.

A DIAMOND MINE
JACOB MILLER LEAVES FOR
SOUTH AFRICA TO LOOK
AFTER PRODUCER

Jacob Miller. a well known Butte min
ing man, left yesterday for C~apetown,
South Africa, where he will remain for
two or three years. Mr.. Miller has made
several trips to South Africa, and on his
last visit bought an interest in a dia-
mond mine, which has since been de-
veloped into a nice producer. Mr.. Miller
says it is the most profitable mining
venture he has ever engaged in. To the
Inter Mountain he stated that with the
Boer question settled, South Africa will
become n of the most inviting places
in the world for both labor and capital.
The Beers, he says, have done every
thing in their power to keep the coun-
try back. They subjected the Uitlanders
to such burdens n expressions that de-
Velopment was discouraged, while their
system of unjust taxation forced thous-
ands of men to leave.

BUTTE BEAT CALCiNERS.
Two Thousand People Witnessed a
Fine Game.

By a grand rally in the closing innings,
the Butte team yesterday snatched VIC
tory from defeat and set Anaconda back
another notch in the championship game.
Butte was unable to score during three
innings, but came to the front in the
fourth. Up to the end of the sixth, Ana
conda led by one run, but in the seventh,
the Butte sluggers batted out four runs,
while the visitors scored but once more
during the game. In the last half of the
eighth, Butte piled up four more runs,
making a total Of II, while Anaconda was
still shut out.
The playing throughout was sharp and
1900 spectators heered the many brilliant
players. Anaconda was clearly outfeld-
ed because the team placed II hits to it's
credit, while Butte had ~ hits. -
The Butte team was greatly strength
ened by the two new men, O'Connor at
first, and Anderson as short stop.

Fraudulent Admissions.

1t seems strange that man
deemed honest will, if afflicted with
an incurable disease, seek life in
surance and make all sorts of false
admissions. 1t is also a wonder
that Lodges will also admit such
man to membership when they are
aware of the poor physical condi-
ton of the applicant. But it is a
fact nevertheless that such cases
are not rare. Indeed they are often
frequent and there is really no way
to stop it if the applicant is assist
ed by an unscrupulous examiner
and careless or Indifferent Lodge.
In the Woodmen of the World a
rather queer case recently came to
light and which the Visitor explains
as follows:
A man applied for membership,
certificate was issued and sent to
his camp, meanwhile he enlisted in
the U. S. regular army and left
town. He was given III Opportu-
nifty to be introduced in city in
which he was quartered, but failed
to present himself; this was in the
month of May. Later he went in
to quarters with his company and
was invited to be introduced by the
camp in that city, but was sent to
the hospital and discharged from
the army on account of a chronic,
incurable disease; returning to his
home town about September or Oc-
tober, the camp physician was con-
suited and informed the camp Of
ficers that applicant was afflicted
with a serious disease with few il
any chances of recovering. In
spite of this information the mem
bers present, at a meeting of the
camp, introduced him, delivered
his certificate to him, and received
from him the slip attached to the
certificate, in which he certifies
that he is in good health "at this
time" the slip bearing unmistak-
able evidence of having been dated
back tn May %. Strange as the
transaction may appear, it is more
strange when we examine the ap-
plication and notice that the ap'
plicant gives lis occupation as
"minister of the gospel" lmme'
diate steps have been taken to re-
lieve the Order OF any liability on
this certificate.
