A DULL TRADE
+. IN RED METAL
1T MAY LAST NINETY DAYS OR
TERMINATE IN THIRTY, SAYS
A NEW YORK DISPATCH,
REPORTS OF ACTIVITY
FROM THE WEST FISHER
Sale of New Year 0roup-Around
sheridan-operations on Coded
strip-Mining Briefs.

A New York dispatch of May 18 says:
The copper situation, although surround
ed With some rather depressing influ-
ences. does not warrant gloomy predic-
tions. as possibly some might be inclin-
ed to p~romulgate. The metal has struck
a dull trade movement which may last
for 80 days or terminate within 80 days,
but with the ~unbounded vitality which
the article possesses, is certain to resume
activity, perhaps sooner han generally
expected, and continue It's course again
with great momentum.
At the present writing the market is
apparently neither weaker nor stronger
to any decided degree. Strictly speaking,
1T may be possible to discern a further
tendency to relaxation before a rebound
IS likely to occur and SELLERS n buyers
may feel like calling a truce until the
o~verhanging mists of uncertainty cease
to obscure the outlook.
Moreover, there is an idea that things
win not improve much until after the
alumet & Hecla company indicates the
price basis, lit win make on new business.
The brass manufacturers are shrewd
enough to know THAT the time is grad
ually drawing near when the Calumet &
Hecla Will want to negotiate sales of
large quantities of copper, and If the
market does not have the support of free
purchases the prospect of MAKING con
tracts favorable to buyers will increase.
Again Calumet competitors may not
feel like bulling the market for the ben
eft of their n~eighboIs, as it was not until
after the last large business by the lake
company THAT the markei advanced
from 16 to II cents. History sometimes
repeats itself md there is a chance for
the introduction of interesting features
during the next few weeks which may
have considerable to do in shaping the
future course of the market.
1T is. worth noting that out of a home
production of SO. 1890 tons of copper dur
ing the first four months of this year,
only %, $3.50 were lett from those figures
when quantity exported is deducted.
With shipments of this character the
surplus left for domestic use lis compar-
atively moderate. The available guam
tity left from production for this country
is over 1000 tons less h a that left for
the home trade in first our months of
last year. The s~lackening of consump-
ton here is more than compensated for
by the greatness Of the foreign REQUIRE
mentts which took shipments of 1854
tons from January l to April 30.

FROM THE cEDED STRIP.

The Dupuyer Acantha correspondent at
Swift Current, On the coded strip, says
the camp is on the boom and that there
is a greet deal OF travel in that direction
nowadays. No permits will he granted to
saloons on the coded strip. The prospects
for a railroad are bright, and 1t is UNDER
stood that a branch of the Great Fails &
Canada railway will be blilt as Mr.. Esler
of Helena has guaranteed the required
tonnage. The freight rate from Swift
Current to Great Falls i'll not exceed IS
per ton. ~
Charles Peters and Charles E. Matson
have located the iron dyke at the foot of
Appekunny mountain. They have receiv-
ed as high as $3.50 in gold values, from an
assay of III surface groupings broken
from this dyke, and when they get in on
it, might surprise the natives. If the
claim should not prove valuable as a gold
proposition, it is still worth holding as
there is any amour If iron in it, suitable
for fiuxing purposes.
Mr.. Esler has let a contract for 800 feet
more tunnel on the Cracker Jack, also for
one lower down. There is enough ore on
the dump to run a concentration.
PARTIES from Spokane are expected to
arrive soon, and will open up the Black
Beauty coal mine.
The weather of last week was the finest
ever seen in the district. Paradise could
not ave equaled it. Everything is nice
and green now, and the mountain air is
beyond description.

THE WEST FISHER

Reports from the West Fisher are to
the effect that there is a whole lot OF
work going on in that section and that
many prospectors are securing, the hills
in search of the wealth which 1t is gen
orally supposed Old Dame has stored so
~abundantly in that promising mining dis
trict, says the Libby News. Activity is
not confined to the mining industry alone
either. Many residents of Libby have
taken up ranches all through the bot
tom and and many of them are now in
here putting up buildings, getting ready
for gardening and in some instances
crops have already been planted.
The principal field of activity at pres
ent is around the Brick & Brannagan
properties. The ten stamp mill is run
ming steadily with n shift and the yell
low metal is being steadily taken from
the ore and placed in the company's
strong box awaiting transportation to the
United States assay office at Helena.
There is a full force working in the mine
and it is said to be the intention of Man.
ager Murphy to put a night crew in he
mill in a short time.
The American kOotenai Mining COM
pany, under he management of Vim.
Beager, is making rapid progress toward
getting started to mill the ore which that
company is reported to have in abund-
ance in the several properties which it
owns and it is anticipated that 1t will not

on that property. The saw mill which
was taken in some time ago for the pur-
pose of cutting the lumber for the mill
is about completed and will be running
some time this week. It is being put up
under the supervision Of Mr.. Burling-
ham. one of the finest saw mill men in the
state, m he will have charge of run
ming it after it Is completed. The ma
chinery for the stamp mill is nearly all
at the mine n by the time the buildings
are ready for it it will all be there.

MINING ON THE SALTWATER,

The Libby News says: Reports from
the saltwater country are to the effect
tina the work lone by the Sullivan Gold
Mining company the past winter have
yet shown no definite results. The nan
| agement has completed a cross-cut tun-
mel lao feet long, but the ledge has not
| yet been cut, and until this is done the
value of the work cannot be determined.
1t is thought the vein will be cut within
the next ten feet, and to do this work
/ Mr.. Sullivan, one of the owners, has
! taken in some additional supplies and
! will continue until the vein is crossed.
; In addition to doing the above work, Mr..
! Sullivan will do some assessment work
on adjoining claims. From the upper
/ workings of this property, which consist
principally of a shaft 35 feet deep, a ton
of ore-which was not picked-Was sent
to the smelter at Great Falls for a test.
The result of this shipment was the fol-
lowing eturns: 1877 per cent copper, 24.4
| ounces in silver and S1S.24 in gold. The
ledge in this shaft is three feet wide and
the formation is granite and slate. This
property is located about 30 miles from
Kalispell, and the company has been
stocked for 1000, 900 shares, at 10 cents
a share, all of which is owned by kalis-
pell parties. The completion OF the cross
cut tunnel will tap the vein about 100
feet deep.

NICOLA THOMAS.
Her Concert at Mountain View Church
A Success.

Little Nicola Thomas was the idol of
an hour and a half during the concert
at the Mountain View M. E. church last
evening. The concert was given for her
benefit under the auspices of the Homer
and Woman's clubs, and was a success,
both financially and socially.
The little girl is a talented violinist,
and the entertainment will be used in per-
fecting that talent through the avenue of
an eastern instructor. She certainly has
a great future in a musical line. Among
those who assisted in making the affair
of last evening the grand success it prov
ed to be were: Mrs. Fitz Butler. Mrs.
Fred P. Holbrook Mrs. Price, Miss Fin
negan, Mrs. Helen Thomas, Miss l.. N.
Voltz, Miss Lola Emery; Messrs. Max
Kroger, Henry Kroger, Alfred Paynter,
Jack Thomas, Mr.. Galloway and Mrs.
Edna M. Hill, the latter performing the
duties of accompanist on the piano.

Bert Ford. the well-known mining man
and secretary of the Ohio Group mining
company, returned from Butte last Sula-
day where he had been for the purpose Of

that company will a a large force OF

P. Co.. is one of the most pushing and en-
terprising concerns in the northwest and
there is nothing that would please GU
citizens more than to have them interest
ed in Madison county properties.

GEORGE HALDORN RETURNS.
Says Stock Market Has Shattered For
tunes in the East.

Attorney George Haldorn, who has
been h~ob-nobbing with the money kings
of Wall street for the past four months,
returned to Butte yesterday and will re-
main here during the summer.
Mr.. Haldorn is interested in the Smoke
house property, upon which development
work is now in progress. A big body Of
Lead ore was encountered a few days ago,
but no copper lead has yet been found
1.-THE stock market shattered several
fortunes during the past few months"
said Mr.. Haldorn today. Nearly every
body that touched the market went
broke when prices sagged to a democrat
izing depth. Spectators are hoping that
the end of the Boer war will lend to ele-
vate stocks again. when probably the
same old story will be repeated"

ROSE TO BE DISMISSED.
She Sued for $25 600 But is Said to
Have Accepted Much Less Than
That Sum,

Rose Engleman of Salt Lake and Ed
ward Rose OF this city have come to an
understanding with each other in regard
to the failure of the latter to keep his
promise to make the former his wife, for
in the district court today there was
filed a stipulation for the dismissal of the
$3.50 breach of promise suit brought
by Miss Engleman against Mr.. Rose
shortly after the time the nuptials were
to have taken place. Miss Engleman
did not get $4,000 or anywhere near 1t,
but she got enough on a compromise to
bridge the fracture in her wounded feel
ings.

THE NEW YEAR GROUP.

Lewiston correspondence Great Falls
Tribune: A. S. Wright, acting for his
partners, Messrs. johnson and Day, has
disposed of the latter's interests in the
Standard Exploration company, owners
of the New Year Group of mines, acquir-
ed by them last year from F. E. Wright,
w. G. Norman, A. D. Harmon and 9TH
ers. The purchasers include a number of
st. Paul capitalists, among whom are
Vice-president W~eyerhauser, Of the Ger
man-American National bank, and Geo.
M. Nelson, member of the law firm of
Nelson Brumhall. Mr.. Nelson visited
the mines in April in company with sew
eral other st. Paul gentlemen. He will
be the secretary of the new company,
which will be known as the New Year
Gold Mines company. The purchase price
has not been made public nor has the
transfer yet been recorded in the office of
the county clerk. A. S Wright, who has
been identified with the property for two
years past, retains his interests and Geo.
Fl. Pu1mort will continue as superintend-
emit. The deal was made some time ago,
but not perfected until a few days ago.,
but the ownership passes as of April l..
The mines have been greatly developed
during the past year, a large force, be-
ing kept constantly employed, "a mill has
been erected and operations have been
quite successful. The gentlemen who
nave now acquired a majority of stock
are men of large means and mining ex-
p%erience, just such investors as Fergus
county will be glad to welcome. They
will doubtless work many changes to he
advantage of the people of this section.
MI. Wright now holds a bono on the Ma
ginnis property at Maiden and some de-
velopments concerning those mines may
be expected shortly. He has had a force
of men working there for some time.

The Abiding Christ.

There is one thought whlcn, strangely
enough, seems to bs seldom suggested to the
Christian world by the REQUIRE nc, of" the
anniversary Of our Lord birth. That thought
is that Jesus Christ is just as truly and es-
sentially with us now in the world rs He
was when angels sang to the wakeful shep-
herds and the wise men brought their gifts
to the Babe in the Bethlehem manger. II
there was any legacy OF hope and conf
dence which Christ bequeathed to His
disciples, ere His martyrdom on the cross,
1t was that He was not to leave them in
any vital sense, but was to abide with them
and with all believers In the world forever.
III Christ should come to earth again, and
IF our Master We're still among u.s."
Christ is in the world today, In every essen
