with ordinary shovels take up the pre-
cipitate which looks exactly like nice
brown mud, the very thing to make
into mud pies. One man holds
sack made of ordinary sacking, and
when it is filed he ties it up and it
is thrown aside to dry. When it is
nearly dried out it is loaded onto cars
and sent to the smelter at Anaconda.
AS the lowest percentage realized is
60 per cent, some idea of the value
can be gained. This week the men
were cleaning up the lower tank and
there were already over 400 sacks ly-
ing drying.
So valuable is the product that a
watchman is employed night and
day to watch the plant and see that
no one walks off with any of the
sacks and that the workmen do not
abstract any. Figures are not OBJ
tainable, but several hundred thous-
and dollars clear of all expenses
must be realized yearly. Other mines
have put in plants, on smaller scales,
and others have leased the waters,
and all are simply coming money.
AS for Ledford, he is back in Ken
lucky, where he has a handsome
home and is living in luxury.
Mueller is not discouraged; he
keeps right on experimenting and
will probably sooner or later discov-
er some secret which will pay him
well. But is safe to say he will
keep others away from it and never
run the risk again of being deprived
of rich results. He has secured
patent for a smoke consumer and
from an examination of the palms il
appears that the machine will do all
that is claimed for it; abstracting all
the poisonous and noxious gases
from the smoke and condensing and
the sulphur in such
manner that it will be made COM

WI " 00Ny
anaconda, Nov. 17.-After two days
hard work, a jury has been secured
in the case of Thomas Burns, charged
with killing Paddy MILES last June.
The last juror was accepted at
O'Clock last evening. County Attorney
Duffy made he opening statement, and
ne sald he expected to prove beyond
a doubt that during last June in
front of a saloon near the corner of
Main and Front streets, Anaconda,
Paddy Miles had been snot to death
by lne defendant, Burns; .Aat at the
time of the shooting Miles was acting
as peacemaker between Burns and
man named Jack Sweeney, and that
after the shooting of Miles, Burns
hau deliberately fired twice at an
other man near by. MIR. Duffy's state
ment was brief and contained moth
ing except that which has already
been published. Court was adjourn
ed till $3.50 a. m. today when the ex-
animation of witnesses begins.

He did not have to go to an as
aver to know that he had precipitate
OF copper and pretty nearly pure. He
carefully scraped out the precipitate
and dried it until he had three crack
er boxes full. Then he took it to
the smelter. When he came back
his wife asked no questions, but he
made haste to tell her that he had
received $45 for the three boxes of
despised dirt. En.tl.raged by this
result he made tanks in his own
yard and determined to see lust
what he could make out of ~. He
soon found that he had a fortune in
his grasp and he went to the mine
authorities and secured lease of
the water, paying them a fair royal
ty. Then he went to every district
of Butte and bought up all the old tin
ware and made arrangements with
number of boys to bring him all the
tins and iron they could get.
He then constructed large tanks
and the returns were large, but it
cost him good deal that first year
to put up his plant, and he lost a
great quantity before he learned Just
how to handle it. He only had a
lease for three years and unfortun-
ately he had secured it from some of
the minor officials. The last year Of
his lease j. l.. Ledford came out and

Turn him loose said the presi-

ton, and the prisoner was a free man
in something less than five minutes.
He had known all the time that
his brother was in trouble and fu-
gitive. and when l took him in charge
he seized the opportunity to let the
guilty twin get clean away. Nothing
could be done to him, of course, for
that. He hadn't acknowledged any
thing or made any sort of a state
ment whatsoever, and the only thing
to do was to release him.
THE actual fugitive had gone
straight to New Orleans from St.

arrival there from the effects of

became greatly interested in the
Mueller family. He poked around
and asked questions, watching the
operation of the plant, and Mr.
Mueller, not expecting treachery, let
him see everything going on, and
then Ledford found that the lease
only ran another year; less, in fact.
He determined to get it away from
Mueller if possible.
He did not go to the mine officials.
He went to the owners, and before
Mueller thought of applying for a re-
newal of his lease Ledford had one
from the owners, and when Muel-
ler went to see his men about it he
was astonished to learn that it had
passed from him; that the fruits of
all his labor and toll were to be re-
joyed by another. He could not re-
alize it at first, but Ledford soon
commenced operations, building tanks
just across the road higher up than
those of Mueller's. He did not have
to waste any time in making expert
ments, for he could profit by the
brain work of another man.
For sometime after Ledford start
ed in Mueller caught the overflow in
his lower tanks, but Ledford soon
found way to divert it's course, and
even that source of revenue was
cut Off Ledford went on and pros
pered and in the two years he ran
the plant made over 100000 clear
coin. From his first cleanup he
made over $4,000, and it increased
every month. Then his lease ran
out and the Anaconda people deter
mined to keep the water and make
the money themselves. Ledford ap-
piled for it and he offered to give
SO per cent royalty, and even Is,
but they would not listen to him.
Poor Mueller applied, too, and was
turned down.
. The plant is now very large one,
a succession of seven tanks, and the
water passes through each one in
succession and what one does not
catch the other does. 1t is uni
que sight, the greenish water, very
green in the first tanks, growing pal
er as it leaves each one; finally,
leaving the last one, it goes down
the pipes and does still more good
in the worA of flushing a portion OF
the city's sewers.
Everything in the way of tin and
iron is thrown in. Even the immense
locomotives, ore cars, boilers, i'm
mense pieces of iron, are gradually
eaten up, and the great cables also. |
Corrugated iron roofing is there in
great quantities and as for tins
everything from a tin fruit can to
old tea pots and the five-gallon ker-
osene cans are used. These are
stacked all around waiting their i'm.
notation. To one who does no:
know what they are intended for the |
place resembles dumping grounn
for garbage.
When all the material placed in a |
tank is eaten up gang of men are
sent to sack it. They turn the Wa
ter off the tanks by removing the
flume running to it from the upper
tank. Then they get right in the |
tank with rubber hip boots on and

Jas. Aman Chairman and 8. G.. Satter.
white Secretary.
| The purpose OF the Convention vas
to elect delegates to the State Conven.
ton which was done with 4 great deal
Of interest and enthusiasm. A more
representative body of the good peo-
pie of Vance county never met In DO
| litical convention in this county.
There was full delegation, among
the number good many Of the largest
farmers in the county.
Vance county held the first Populist
meeting held in the State and is enti-
tied to be called the home of the Pop
ulist party in North Carolina.
The undersigned had the honor of
presiding over that meeting, and had
been present At every meeting since
that convention In Jan. 1892, and it
can be truly said that a more harmo-
NOUS and enthusiastic meeting was
never held in Vance than our COnven-
ton on Saturday the 1h.
We are gaining ground in Vance,
which can be attributed to the infa-
nous and fraudulent means the Dem
Ocrats have resorted to perpetuate
themselves in power and to Senator
Buffers efficient and faithful duty In
the Senate and to the vigilant and tire
less work of our county Populist. The
Populist of North CaiOlina have dem
Oustrated to the people that they are
honest and use honest methods to give
the State good and honest govern
ment, while the Democratic party
have equally demonstrated to the peo-
pie that they will undertake to govern
by fraud and force, and give the State
a disreputable government.
After electing delegates to the State
Convention speeches were called for
and Mr.. Z. T. Garrett responded for
abOnt two hours. Mr.. Garrett spoke
on the election law and constitutional
amendment and contrasted them with
the principles of the Populist party.
Mr.. Garrett is unquestionably one
among the best stump speakers In
North Carolina and to say that his
speech was listened. to with rapt atten-
tiOn and was effectual in showing the
