port died intestate in October of 1895;
that Carl Kleinsclmidt was appointed
administrator of his estate. but has been
succeeded by w. II. Dickinson. The var
ious interests of the Airport heirs and the
other plaintiffs and defendants are then
set forth. followed by the allegation that
a portion Of the Minnie Healey lies west
of the Piccolo and GanIbetta claims.
For convenience the plaintiff ~designates
this part of the ground as the west neck
of the Minnie Healey and in this neck
there are certain veins of ore containing
copper and other valuable metals. These
veins, says the complaint, have an east
erly and westerly course. pass through
the neck in question and have their app
ices within the lines Of the MinnieIIealey.
They are developed TO a depth of 500 feet
below the surface of the Minnie Healey
within the exterior boundary lines and
outside of the portions excluded as being
in conflict With the Piccolo and Gambet-
Ia claims. The plaintiff says he has run
numerous drifts. cross cuts and levels,
and owns the west neck Of the Minnie
Haaley at the ~600-foot level he has cut
several veins, all Of which are under the
Minnie Heaiey surface, apex within the
Minnie Healey and therefore belongs to it.

HE is A GLASS EATER.
Seems to Relish the Diet When Fol-
lowed By Beers.

Fred Seiberg is a man With a double
stomach-so he declares. Fred can
chew and swallow glass With as much
relish as another person eats and di-
gests a mutton chop. He performs this
feat when bantered into a wager. In
a saloon on Granite street the other
night, in the presence of half a dozen
persons, including a policeman. Fred
won the wager by devouring a beer
tumbler. After swallowing the glass,
the man with the double stomach
chased it down with four or five beers,
but he would tell nobody whether the
beer went into stomach No. l OF the
glass into stomach No. 2. A reporter
followed him into another saloon, in
professional anticipation of seeing the
man drop dead and getting a scoop
on the other papers. After an hours
patient wait, during which the glass
eater got away with half a dozen more
beers. the reporter stepped up and
asked him if the glass rested We'll on
mis- stomach.
Don't hurt me a bit" replied Sci
berg. Just makes me feel dry; that's
ALL"
The reporter set up the beer for the
champion glass-eater of the west.

These veins. he alleges, are exposed 90
feey below the surface. One is exposed
on the 6O0-foot level c"oss-cut at a
point 1875 feet south of the north side line
of the Minnie Healey in the west neck
aforesaid, the apex being exposed by
surface workings and rock exposure
about 800 feet south Of the north side line
of the Mimi Healey.
Continuing, the plaintiff alleges that
the defendant company has entered be-
meath the west neck and carried away
large quantities of ore valued at 81 .000,-
goo; that he is informed and believes
that Carl I<leinschmidt has appealed, or
is about to appeal from the order remov-
ing him as administrator OF the estate
OF John d. Airport. and by reason OF the
fact that kleinschmidt claims to be the
administrator and w. II. Dickinson also
claims to be the administrator, ne cannot
recognize either of them. so as TO eques
them to become plaintiffs in the action
and hente makes them defendants.
The plaintiff further says that the OPP
erations Of the Boston & Montana have
haen conducted through its underground
workings in such a as to keep the
same from the knowledge of the owners
of the Minnie Healey.

INTERESTED
IN OIL WELLS
LEE ". FOSTER SAYS DIR. MER-
RILL IS MAKING MONEY
ON THE COAST.
CALIFORNIA OIL BUSINESS
is LOOKING UP.
Considerable Capital is Being Invested,
But All the Wells Are Not
Producers.

. Lee w. Foster, a former resident Of
tButte. who still has mining and realty
interests, here, arrived in town a few
days ago from Los Angeles, Cal, and
will remain here for two weeks. Mr..
Foster came to Montana when Butte was
not on the map and only a few cabins
were built in Dublin gulch. He left this
city and took up his residence in Los
Angeles in 1893, but has made OCCASION
al visits here to look out for his local
interests.
Il came to Butte in 1865, in the month
of February" said Mr.. Foster. Then a
few cabins in Dublin Gulch were the
only buildings Of any description to be
seen. I never dreamed at that time that
any such building as this pausing to
. glance around the lobby Of the McDer-
/ mott, would ever be seen In the town.
California is a good state in which to
|Nlive. Things lave been very prosperous
\ there fr the last year; the crops have
! been large and everybody has money.
r One of the greatest industries there now
is boring for oil. The outlook for the flu
ture in the oil business i'll California
could not be better.
The principal Wells are located in the
vicinity of Bakersfield and Oil City. I
am interested in a we'll With Rudolph
i Spreckels and others. 1t is located be-
tween Bakersfield and Oil City. We have
now sunk it to a depth OF 500 feet, and
while We have not struck anything yet,
the indications are that we will get plen-
ty of Oil before we are through.
There are many of the wells that are
poor, of course, n many that are not
producing anything at present. DIR. j. NJ.
Merrill, of Oakland. Cal, who used to
live in Butte. and is known to all the
Old residents here. is interested in a rich
we'll about 40 miles from Bakersfield.
IT is producing $50 barrels OF oil a lay.
His company has plenty Of land, and
after Incorporating, sold enough stock
to pay all the expenses of operating it's
own well. DR.. Merrill is also the owner
OF a large acreage Of improved farming
and fruit tracts. He is interested in
the Granite mine, I understand, and will
be in Butte in a short time to look after
his affairs here"
After living SO long in a lower altitude
Mr.. Foster mas that the rarified atmos-
phere does not agree very well with him,
and for that reason has kept IN doors a
great part of the time during his brief
stay in this city. He thinks Butte the
same old place as of old, always lively
and always prosperous

STOLEN
Found in Possession of Two Men Ar
rested by the Police.

RI. Wolffs cigar store on Wyoming
street opposite the Copper block was bur-
glarized last Wednesday night and 5000
cigars We're stolen. The police last
night recovered nearly all of the stolen
property and arrested two men who are
supposed to be responsible for the burg
larry.
ofiicers McGraw, McQueeney and Gill
more last night observed two men on
Main street between Galena and Mer-
curry streets carrying a sack and their
curiosity impelled them to make an in
vestigation. They found that the sack
contained nineteen boxes of cigars and
a further investigation revealed the fact
that the men had been trying to dispose
of them. The cigars and the men We're
taken to the police station where the lat
ter gave the names of Jim Ryan and Fred
Waters. The cigars We're identified as
those stolen from VOLTS place.
Capt. Leyden and officer Bowling got
after Waters had succeeded in making
him tell where the rest of the cigars
could be found. He told the officers
that they had been left with a man in
the neighborhood of the cemetery and it
developed that the man old the truth.
The men will be turned over to the
county and a charge of burglary in the
night time will be placed against them.
Ryan is the man who had a number of
ducks and pigeons belonging to other
persons at his house ana the officers
We're looking for him when he vas ar
rested on the burglary charge. Ryan IS
also the person who hot a man through
the hand three or four months ago dur
ing the rogress of a dispute. When he

taken from their persons.
The capture of the men is regarded as
a good piece of work because the stolen
property was also recovered and for the
further reason hat Ryan is not looked
upon with favor by the police.

GIFT 10 COUNTY Hl6H SCHOOL.
Valuable Contribution OF Mounted Slides
from the State University.

+. NJ. Silloway. principal Of the
Lewistown high school, has received
the following letter from Professor
NJ. j. ElrOd, instructor In biology at
the University of Missoula: 81 have
pleasure In sending you by express,
charges to be paid by you, a%package
containing five boxes of mounted
slides for your work In biological
lines. These will aggregate about
10 slides. For the most part they
have been mounted hy students and
do not represent the highest grade OF
work by .any means. But | think
they are all good, and some Of them
are fine. This collection IL n dona-
ton to the Fergus county high
school from the biological labratory
Of the University of Montana, with
the wish and expectation that they
will be OF help In arousing interest In
the lines they represent. This is the
first contribution to your school and
is made among heiirst distributions
this year on account Of the valuable
service you have rendered the uni
versity Mt the biological station. II
you feel so disposed ! shall be glad to
have you give the university proper
recognition for this in your home
papers, that your people mry know
we have an active interest in the
schools there. shall also be pleased
To receive copies OF papers containing
mention Of this, if you will send
them"
The slides referred 10 in the above
letter have reached here in good CON
dition. They are destined for use in
connection with thelauoratory work
conducted at the high school and
will be OF great help in stimulating
interest among the students in scien-
tific study. Hitherto the Lewistown
High school has labored under the
immense disadvantage of being with.
out a laboratory OF any kinda fact
which has tended to produce more or
less indifference on the part of the
teachers and i%nattention on the part
OF the pupils when carrying on stud
les in which appliances are required.
Now, however, the sum Of 800 has
been expended for n set Of reference
books which have been ordered for
this department, and list of labora-
tory supplies to cost $500 has been
prepared, for which an appropriation
has been asked and will soon be
made. This list includes acompound
microscope to be used in examining
the slides presented by the Missoula
university. Professor Silloway is to
be congratulated upon having been
the means Of procuringt this handsome
donation for the LewistoNn school.
Ii will help to supply II OF the needs
which has been sorely iplt in the past.
This graceful act on the part Of the
state university demonstrates the
natural affinity which exists bet ween
institutions Of learning. and will be
greatly apprecia led ly every one in

tion in this state.
