Hotel Improvement. ~

The Huckins House which has en-
joyed large patronage from the
time it was opened until the pres
ent time and which continues to get
a fine patronage of the leading
travelling public, has always been
cramped for room, is now to have a
new addition added to it, of I6
rooms, built on modern plans with
bath and sanitary closets in each
room, The wing will face Front
street and will occupy a space
of fifty feet front and run
back sufficiently far to give the
desired hall way and make the
rooms large and airy. When com
pleted the Huckins House will be
one of the most Ip-to-date hotels
in all of this section. Mr.. Huckins
tells us he will have out plans ant
specifications and let out the bids
within the next thirty days.

Trolly Talk.

Mr., ]. S. Martin, the Texarkana
promoter, who came here some four
months ago and invested in prop
erty, has been laborlng to get an
electric railroad for this city. He
had a Mr.. Yelton, of Vinncens,
Indiana, here on two separate oc-
casions, to look after the town that
he might induce him to put money
in a street car line. AS we said in
our Sunday mornings issue, Mr..
Yelton was here, but did not have
much to say of a reassuring nature,
We learn however that he had
made an offer to Mr.. Madill, to
purchase the gas and electric
light plant at certain figures.
and that Mr.. Madill took the offer
under adyisement. Today Mr.
Martin called and said he had a
favorable answer from Mr.. Madill,
and that Mr.. Yelton had been ap.
prised and would return soon to
close up the deal he thought.
Should he come back he would ask
the citizens to give him what aid
they could in the way of land
bonus on the outskirts of the city
where his lines would run and build
up the same into thriving localities.
We trust that the deal will be ac-
complished if it will give us a quick
transit to all parts of the city.

THE KEARSAGE.

C. E.. Damours was in the city Tues
day from Summit after supplies for the

Kearsarge with which to pound out a
little pin money. says the Alder Gulch

received the eturns from the last sample
shipment of 2,1O0 pounds of ore to the
Butte smelters. The ore was unsorted,
taken from the new chute just as it came.
and it Melted him $3.50. A similar ship
ment was made at the same time to the
Helena smelter, but returns had not been
received. He will also make one or two
similar sample shipments to Colorado
srnelters. The kearsarge ore carries
from $500 to $500 per ton of telluride val
ues, from which the Butte smelters give
no returns. This is an incident that he
believes is worth looking after.

SPECULATION AS TO ITS PROB
ABLE INFLUENCE ON THE
COPPER MARKET.
HAS BIG CONTRACTS FOR
FUTURE DELIVERIES.
Copper Mining Earnings in This
Country Should Reach $25,OOO,-
900 IF Fire is Subdued.

| Eastern financial and trade papers say
that 1t is generally conceded that the
cope market is dull, and tina the con-
sumers are not giving it much support by
means of purchases. Yet for all that sell
lerS do not appear TO nave their eQuan-

There had been sales involving deliveries
up INTO the summer some time ago, and
upon these transactions the companies
secured profits sufficient to pay and
some dividends covering the calendar
year if they did not make another dollar
in 1900.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in around Butte as to the probable
effect of the Calumet & Hecla fire on the
market price of copper and its ability to
fulfill it's contracts for future deliveries.
It's output is 100, 900, 900 pounds annually.

OLD MANS MIND FAILING.
Levi S. Bracy Examined for Insanity

He was leaning against the end of the

Marshall. The latter had pointed the
