Commercial and Financial Happenings
OF Interest in the Growing
Western States.

The mines owned by the War Eagle
Consolidated Mining Company on
Shaw's mountain are growing better
and better as development progresses,
says the Boise Statesman. The Nc
Carthy property is now producing some
very rich ore, specimens showing gold
in large quantities.
In the Paymaster, after following
the ore chute some 800 feet, the man
agement determined to open slopes
preparatory to starting the mill. Five
upraises were started for this purpose
and in every one of them the vein is
far better than in the level. 1t is
about six feet wide, and there is four
and a half feet of ore that runs close to
$40 ton.
Altogether the outlook for this group
is most encouraging. All that was ex-
pected was to open a good property,
but it now looks as though it would
turn out to be bonanza.
Work on the concentrating mill Is
progressing rapidly and it is hoped to
have the plant ready to run by the
Fourth of July. 1t will be a novel
sight to see that mill in operation.
There is no other plant like it in the
West.

says the Cuprum. Idaho, Standard.
Mr.. Charles M. Reed, of Erie, Pa,
was the purchaser. The debts of the
former owners of this mine. the North
west Copper Company, amounted to
about $65, 1000, which leaves $40. 200
above the indebtedness. This insures
the payment of all the company owes,
and will place several thousand dollars
in circulation here. Mr.. Reed is very
wealthy. and now that he has gotten
the other members out of the company
will no doubt prosecute development
work as rapidly as possible.

AN EDITOR TO BE- GAINED
When He Returns To the Soil
Of France And Reaches
the Office Of the
Peppery Figaro.

NEW YORK, Jan. % 2-After an ab-
sence of Eve years the, Count and Coun-
tess Boni di Castellane arrived hers
this morning on the steamer La Bre-
tagne. Not one of the Gould family or
any of the countess relatives or friends
were at the dock to meet them. As
the big liner was being docked, the
count and his wife stood on the bridge
and gazed among the msny faces on
the pier to see if they could see any of
their relatives Their fares plainly
showed their disappointment when
they did not see a person there to greet
them.
Articles in the newspapers relating
to his losses on the Paris Bourse were
shown to the count. He read and
studied them for a few moments and
then burst out sngrily. "I am so ex-
cited and so incensed that I cannot
deny all this in a word. You can sag
to any one and every one that 1 have
never at any time been q gambler. I
have never played at cards and I have
never speculated on the Bourse.
"These statements. which have ems-
mated from the Figaro and which seem
to have obtained general credence In
other newspapers of France, are in
sane fabrications. M. De Rodays, the
managing director of the Figaro. is q
thief and a liar aud scousdrel. He
does not resent being slapped in the
face and L sball use my cane upon him
when return. That is the only treat
ment fit for such man.
Count De Csstellane Immediately
sent the following cablegram to NJ de
Rodays, the managing editor of Fig
ago:
81 am told On board La Bretangs
this morning OF the cslumnies printed
In Paris newspapers and emanating
from the Figaro. You will at once
print full and complete retraction,
and reserve for myself the right, On
my return, to tell you what think OF
your dastardly act.''

IS WARMLY RECEIVED
The Object Of the Belmont
Dinner Tonight Said To Be
To Bring Both Wings Of
the Party Together.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.@There is a
marked difference noticeable between
the Indifferent welcome accorded Mr..
Bryan by the local democracy on the
occasion of his lat visit in New York
and the hearty manner in which he was
received by the faithful when he ar
rived in the city today.
The present political recognition OF
his presence in due wholly to the fact
that since Mr.. Bryan WAS last here,
Richard Croker has announced his con-
version to the standard of the Neb-
raska man, and has carried with him
the rank and file of Tammy men.
The two days programme of political
functions arranged in Mr.. Bryan's
honor will commence this evening
with q dinner to be given by o. b. P.
Belmont. 1t is understood that about
thirty.fiv guests will be present at the
dinner. Those who have received in
vitstions include many of the party
leaders of the state, as well as repre-
sen tatives of the Chicago platform
democrats, and it is said that the main
purpose of the function, and which is
also to be the principal OBJ
Ject of Mr.. Brysn's visit, Is to bring
both wings of th party together in or
der that harmonious delegation may
be sent to the nation al convention.
