OF A YOUNG
NEWSPAPER MAN.

James F. x. O'Brien. a young Phila-
delphfa newspaper man, who arrived in
Butte a little less than a year ago, died
at the st. James hospital this morning
Of pneumonia.
O'Brien was a bright young man, and
was for a number Of years on the staff
of THE Philadelphia Item. Poor health
forced him to leave Philadelphia. For a
time he was connected with a Minneap-
oils paper, and later was ON the Sioux
Falls (Iowa) Daily. From the latter
place he came to Butte.
Several days ago he became i'll of
pneumonia n was taken to the Sisters
hospital, where he was attended by DR..
Alexander, who had known him in Phil
a%delphia. DR.. Alexander has wired the
young mans parents, who reside in
Philadelphia, of his demise, and until an
answer is received it is not known what
disposition will be made of the remains.

is ST. VALENTINES DAY
Mr.. Wharton Has Already Received a
Remembrance From
Washington.
IS ST. VALENTINES DAY

The Butte postal clerks are wishing to-
day that the man who invented the myth
| about fowls of all descriptions mating or
st. Valentines day. and thereby become
responsible for an annual season of work
and trouble for the postal department,
had never been born. With this wish ia
| another that some time in the near future
the posta: department will take official
c~ognizance of the fact that twice as many
people as live within the corporate limits
Of the city are served by the Butte post
office, emitting the institution to a larger
clerical force.
The gaudy messenger Of love and hate
and all the intermediate passions Of men
and women began arriving at the postof-
fee today. These valentines come from
afar, and the local deluge Is expected to-
night and tomorrow. The first valentine
to be received in the city this year, was
sent from Congressman Campbell to
Superintendent ]. r. Wharton Of the
Butte street railway and who is also the
official weather clerk. 1t was a big bum
die Of seeds, which members Of ongress
send out to their rural friends to give
them the impression that they are not al
lowing the grass to grow under their feet
in Washington. Mr.. Wharton does not
know just how to take Mr.. Campbelrs re-
membrance. He says it might have been
meant in kindness in recognition of his
pastoral prayers at Columbia Gardens
last summer, or it might be a delicate
suggestion that the congressman consid-
ers Mr.. Wharton a farmer for reducing
street railway fares to five cents when he
might be charging twice as much.
Tons of valentine matter VIII pass
through the Butte postofice today and to-
morrow. 1t Is probably very amusing for
those witless wits who send out the pur-
chased satire of someone else, but it is
not very funny for the route carriers who
have to bear the brunt OF the work.

CORONER'S WORKING
DAY Is AN ISSUE.

Chairman Clark of the board of county
commissioners called upon the county
attorney today for a written opinion in
regard to what constitutes a days work
for the coroner Last month Coroner
Julien submitted his bill for December,
and the commissioners cut it down $40
because it showed that more than one
inquest had been held in a day. The
statutes, it is alleged, allows the coroner
IS per day, and the commissioners in
terpret the clause to mean that much
and mo more, no matter whether one,
two or three %inquests are held. In De-
cember Mr.. julien held as many as
three inquests in one day. When the
December bill was cut down, a differ
ence of opinion as to the meaning of
what constituted a day arose between
the commissioner n the coroner and
the county attorney will have to
straighten it out.
Mr.. Julien says that some inquests
cover a period of several days and his
fee then is only IS.

he did not know who Campbell was.
This afternoon was taken I'D with the
examination of VIM. McDermott, which
was concluded, who said he had spent
near sixteen thousand dollars in the fall
election in expenditures to prevent frau-
dulent registration and procure a fair
count and about six thousand In Helena
during the senatorial contest but not one
cent for the purpose of bribery. The most
OF this money was received from Charlie
Clark and the remainder from Welcome
and was used in paying for the services
OF what might be called lobbyists in Sena-
tor Clark's interests. McDermotl made
a clean cut witness and at different t;nes
referred to the ~disreputable methods
used by the DAILY faction In their control
OF the politics of Silver Bow county. He
also referred sarcastically to Campbell.
The committee was adjourned until day

Butte Capitalists Secure Con-

WONDERFUL ORE BODIES
Ledge on the Jane Claim is 100 Feet
Wide-Is Immensely
Rich.

CHARLES r. Leonard and another Butte
capitaalst have acquired a seven-tenths
interest in the Brittania group of mines
IN British Columbia. These are the
mines which created great excitement in
the mining world a few weeks ago and
experts from all over the globe Journey
Ed to them in the interest of American
and European capitalists. The. Montana
men, however. were on the ground first
anu upon the report of John e.. Adams,
Frank Leonard and others a deal was
closed by which the Butte capitalists ac-
quired a controlling Interest in the prop.
critics.
That the mines are immensely rich Is
shown by the receipt of a telegram to-
DAY from howard c. Walters STATING
that the ledge on the Jane claim was 100
Feet wide and that an average assay gave
returns of $3.50 in gold and eight per cent
copper. The samples were taken from
the crosscut in the face of the mammoth
blun at a depth of from 1875 % 100 feet
below the surface.
The properties are located on the east
ern shore OF Howe sound about go miles
from vancouver, B. c.. at a point where
Brittania creek enters the waters Of the
sound. They are situated in a sheltered
casin $500 feet above the sea level, with
an abundance of excellent timber for
MINING purposes. IMe principal level
opment work has been done on the Jane
mime, which consists of a tunnel 215 feet
In length, which gives a depth OF 1870 feet.
The tunnel has been driven through
highly m~ine1alized rock carrying rood
values in copper. The Jane nine is in
the early stages of development. Just
before New Years the foot wall vein was
broken through. showing 26 feet of solid,
massive copper ore assaying from 4 to -
per cent. Since then several hundred
feet Of development work has been done
showing that the ledge is about 100 feet
wide.
At a distance OF about 500 feelt from the
mouth. of the main unn another drift
was started on the face of immense body
Of ore known locally as h mammoth
bluff From this tunnel up the vertical
The character of the ore here is quite
different from that in the main workings
being of a concentra ting variety and car
rying a Quantity of bornite, running very
high in copper. A shell of decomposed
quartz covers the face of the cliff which
at present is traceable for 400 feet to a
depth. of from 8 to II inches. Behind this
shell Is DIV maj deposit of bornite,
peacock copper and pyrites. 1t is said to
he impossible to estimate the hundreds
of thousands OF IONS of ore in sight.
From present indications the district
gives promise of rivalling Butte in the
immensely OF its ore bodies. The Butte
men are planning to erect a smelter, the
capacity of which will be away up in the
hundreds of tons daily and a concentrate
ing plant of the same mammoth propOr-
tiOns.
