the mountain has scarcely been scratch
ed, the showing is remarkably rich.
The credit for the deal belongs to How
ard c. Walters, a Montana man, who
was formerly the manage of the Snow
shoe mine at Libby. Mr.. Walters inter-
ested Frank Leonard, of Libby, in the
properties n the latter, with his broth
er, Charles r. Leonard and H. L. Frank,
of this city, secured a crown grant from
the Canadian government. Then others
secured interests, including Prof. Leon
ard. of this city, c.. E. Conrad, the Kalis-
pell banker n millionaire, Chas. w.
McMeekin, the engineer Who was in
charge of construction work at the Basin
dam of h Butte Water Co., c.. B.
Strong, a mining promoter, and j. H.
HUMPHREYS, a capitalist of Spokane, and
Col. A. N. Hamilton, Of Seattle.
Each of the above will receive snug
sums for their respective interests, but
all of them have etained interests in the
new company, the Scott Syndicate only
securing about 70 per CENT. of the stock
which was selling at more thar 1900
per share. One of the conditions of the
sale is that $3.50, 900 of the purchase price
goes into the treasury for the purpose of
developing the properties.

FIRE ON THE hESPERUS.

The fire department had an early run
thsi morning to a blazing frame building
owned by James A. Murray and situated
on the Htsperus lode. The I'D building
a been tenantless for a long time. and
during the past three years it has been
set on fire a dozen times. The last time
1t was fired the stairs burned away, and
only the roof and walls left standing.
Somebody climbed up to the second story
this morning, however. and made an
other attempt to destroy the building,
but the attempt was only partially sue
cessful as only a portion of the roof was
consumed.
are several residences adjoining
the old building. whose occupants are
not pleased at the prospect of having
their homes placed in danger so often,
and 1t Is likely hi tthey will endeavor to
have the old structure removed.

the latter We're to explore the ground,
Fred. w. Sherman being appointed SUI
perintendent with the understanding
that If the said second parties should
purchase the stock, the amount paid in
development should be q charge on the
company. The complainant alleges that
no authority had been given to make
such a contract and that it was made for
the purpose of defrauding the
and its stockholders.
The parties of the second part con-
tracted an Indebtedness of $7,575.6O and

so.

A BoER GIRLS WEDDING.
sports and Followed by Pro-
longed Gayety.

A wedding is always an event Of al
most national Importance, and is really
a most picturesque ceremony. The
friends and relatives may arrive a day
or two ahead of time, according to the
distance to be travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes most animated
scene. Scores Of ox-teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are bustling around; guns are
fired promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the cot
tage, and everywhere around it; inn
promptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and joy is uncon-
fined. After the ceremony, and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom. the wedding feast is eaten,
and then the gues.s spend the night
in dancing and playing games. It would
be breach Of etiquette for any Of the
guests to depart before the dawn, and,
indeed, the fiddler's music and the
sound made by the dancing feet are
often heard until noon Of the following
day. The wedding tour consists Of q
journey to the cottage and farm which
the husband has secured from his
father and which adjoins the old home

THE FINISHING TOUCH.
Chicago Dude Who Completed Hts
Toilet ON an 81" Train Not Equal
to an Emergency.

Some wise person has said somewhere
that if a woman desires to see vanity
face to face let her look in her mirror
That is all very well, but now and then
you run across a man who can ring In
new changes on the feminine folly.
On one of the Alley IL trains one
afternoon recently yodng woman got
on at Thirty-ninth street. She was
quiet, ladylike- girl, dressed in q we'll
fitting gray tailor-made suit, and set
tied herself back for. good read on the
way to the city, when he got on at the
next station and seated himself oppo-
site. He was gotten up regardless"
One of those new stunning suits in
brown and tan~checks that are all the
go, white felt hat, with pale blue band,
and silk umbrella.
AS soon as the train was well under
way again he drew out penknife and
worked industriously at his finger nails
for several minutes. This finished, he
produced pearl toothpick and labored
at his white, even teeth for awhile. Aft
er this operation was over he gazed
thoughtfully out of the window at the
giimmer of the lake far in the distance,
and with sigh of contentment fnm-
bled in his vest pocket until he found
a small mirror. Having studied the
effect of his new red and purple tie in
this, he started in on his mustache, q
pale, feathery suggestion for what
might be in days to come.
This latter was combed and twirled
and petted until it stood out at the
proper angle with well-defned curl
at either end. The felt hat was pushed
farther back to see If the part Of the
hair was o X, and at last, with anoth-
er sigh of relief, he replaced the mirror
and leaned back complacently.
But the girl in gray had been watch
ing him over the top Of her book,
watching each new branch Of the busi-
ness with increasing interest, and, fnal-
ly, when she saw the mirror go back
in its leather case, she laid aside her
book, and, opening her chatelaine bag,
drew out chamois skin well powdered
and proffered it with smile to her
travelling companion, while the people
around enjoyed the little comedy.
Wouldn't you like to put on the fin-
ishing touch?" she asked, sweetly, and
he stifay arose and went into the
smoker.-Chicago Tribune.

Rock Island Travelling Man Receives I'm

Hello, uncle! Why, how are you?"
and she threw her arms around the
meek of a well-known Rock Island
travelling salesman whom she had
mistaken for a relative as he alighted
from a train at Erie yesterday. There
were a numb Der of people at the sta
tion- The travelling man, if anything,
enjoyed the warm reception he re-
ceived at the hands of such a pretty
girl. She was mortified at the blum
der she had made, and made profuse
apologies for the liberty, she had taken
with an utter stranger, but she said
that he resent led her uncle so closely
she was positive it0was him at first
glance, and was so oVerloyed at
seeing him she did not take time to
investigate closely. The Rock Island
er told the girl it was a pardons BILE
mistake; that if she would not say
anything about it he would not. But
the news spread so fast that it has al
ready reached Rock Island, and the
travelling man is the object of great
joshing from his friends.

EVENTS IN THE ARENA
Three Spirited Contests Pulled
Off at Rock Island Tur.
ner Hall.
l5-RoUND SCRAP PRINCIPAL GO.

Archie Hale Awarded Decision Over Bert
Campbell, a CoIored Man, Both Staying
the Time Limit, and Furnishing an Ex-
hibItion of the Real Thing"-shsnnOn
and GanahI spar-wrestling Match.
A goodly number of sports assem-
bled at Turner hall last night to wit
ness series of athletic events culmi-
mating in a 15-round boxing contest.
The affair was pretty well advertised,
in a quiet way, but very few knew
who the principals were. or even what
events were to be pulled off, so expec-
tation lent interest TO the program.
Heine Holdorf ac' ed as master of GER
emonies and referee.
The first was wrestling match be-
tween Voss and Schaab, of this city.
Voss was much the heavier man and
easily won two out of three falls. 1t
was generally conceded that he could
have won allthree if he had gone after
them.
Next followed a around contest
with S-ounce gloves between Jim
Shannon and Frank Ganahl. 1t was
full of surprises for all parties. 1t
was difficult for an onlooker to see
how so many motions could be made
without someone getting hurt. The
bout was highly appreciated and the
principals retired without having re-
ceived a decision.
By this time the crowd had assem-
bled the way was clear and it was near
enough to midnight to announce the
main event. Referee Holdorf intro
duced as the principals Archie Hale,
of this city, and colored lad named
Bert Campbell, of Trenton, N. j. The
men were pretty evenly matched,
Hale being a shade the heavier, and,
of course, having the tide of popular
sympathy.
Not Much Science.
1t was plain from the start that sci
ence wasn't going to cut much ice.
The shady lad was more active and
cunning than his adversary, hut could
not strike the sledge-hammer blow
necessary to be effective with the
heavy gloves used. He was boxer
and not a slugger, and while he landed
often he scored very few telling hits.
Hale, on the other hand, used his right
effectively, landing often in the face
and back of the head. He guarded
exclusively with the left and was quite
clever in lodging under heavy swings.
AS it was his first appearance in the
ring, he of course displayed some
greatness, particularly in lack of
watchfulneSs after a breakaway- Fouls
were numerous, but Referee Holdorf
wisely winked at them and did not
allow them to interrupt the harmony
of the proceedings.
Hale often resorted to rushing tao
tics, and the colored boy usually
wound up in n corner against the
ropes, clinching to avoid further pun
ishment. In one of these rushes the
men clinched and went through the
ropes and off the stage, landing in a
heap on the floor, three feet below.
They were helped back and the
round was cut short to let them
get their bearings. In the 18th
