SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

American and Australian butter is
rapidly crowding the German article
from the English market.
The production of prunes is increas-
ing rapidly in Oregon, the annual
shipment OF the dried fruit now
amounting to 500 cars.
The production of soap in Great
Britain is about $4,000 tons per week,
of which between 5000 and 1000 tons
are made in London.
America sells nearly three times as
much as she buys; Germany buys over
& 0 1000, 600 worth more every year
than she sells: while Great Britain
last year actually bought twice as
much as she sold.
Were il not for matter floating in
suspension in sea water-minute liv-
ing organisms and air bubbles due to
the breaking of the waves, all of which
reflect light-the ocean, looked down
into, would be as black as the black

the suns rays, having once penetrated
it, would return to its surface.
Alcohol and vinegar are effective an
tidotcs for carbolic acid poisoning, a
New York doctor announces. What
ever quantity of the poison has been
swallowed, four times as much whis-
by or five times IS much vinegar

No oil Of any kind should be given.

reduced that rate nearly so per cent.

To Guide the Social Novice.

Informal callers should be most care
full TO avoid the hours for meals.
To drop an unwelcome acquaintance
one merely omits sending cards.
Do not apologize too much for not
having called before. Your neglect TO
do SO has probably not been observed.
Never impose yourself upon your
friends unless you are feeling well and
are reasonably sure Of making yourself
agreeable.
Do not offer 10 your hostess the slight
of q hurried call. nor be absent-minded,
nor constantly consulting your watch.
Rise to take your leave while you
are the speaker-not when the CONVEX
sation has languished. lest you appear
TO 60 because you are bored.-Mrs. Bur

IN THE CONE BUTTE DISTRICT.

IGreat Falls Leader.l

[Great Falls Leader.l
The Gone Butte Mining district in
Fergus county has been attracting
considerable attention lately and
will probably show up well In the
near future. There are numerous 10.
cations in the district and some OF
them have been developed sufficiently
to show that they are worth looking
after. Many were located In the
palmy days Of Maiden and have been
worked off and OH since, while Others
are only recent locations. Among
those who are interested in the dis
trict IL Vincent Gels, VI Gilt Edge,
who has five claims in all, developed
by over seven hundred feet of tunnel.
The main tunnel OF ove 400 feet on
the Bertha lode as follows: A well
marked vein Of ore about IL feet wide
and the assay value is $l2 per ton.
The adjoining claim is the NJ. X. on
the west and Joins the Voltaire. On
this there Ia a 4O-foot shaft all in ore.
The other two claims have 125 feet OF
tunnel and several open cuts on the
surface showing some three to six
feet Of ore. Several assays run from
SIS to $40 In gold. The Voltaire
now belongs to James Fergus and
has several hundred feet Of tunnel
and a shaft Of 100 feet. The main
body of ore assaysfrom SIS up. Sten
Hanson has a claim next to the Vol
taire which as far an worked shows
well Oscar and Charles stephens
have about TO claims. On ore they
drifted 200 feet and struck the main
ledge, which can be traced about
5000 feet. On the Red Mountain lod.
farther west, they have about 400
feet Of tunneling and the appearance
Of carrying copper. James Murphy
has eight claims and has been work
ing them over Is years. He has had
assays OF over $1,000. The average
per claim is over $40. Two years age
he shipped II tons to this city and II
netted him over $50 per ton. Der
nard Neisigh has two claims and al
though they are not improved he II
well pleased. The general formation
Is granite, slate and tracheit.
An effort will be made this summer
