EXCHANGE MAY
Be ORGANIZED
POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER Eff
FORT IN BEHALF OF BUTTE's
MINING INDUSTRY.
ONLY MINING TOWN OF
NOTE NOW WITHOUT ONE,
Winnepeg's Chamber of Mines Model
led On the Institution at johann
nesburg-Its Object.

Probably n more effort will be made
in Butte to organize a mining exchange.
Nearly every other mining town in the
world has a successful exchange in opera
ton which have proved a considerable
value in the direction of furthering the
velOpment of commerce generally.
Winnipeg, Manitoba recently inaugur-
ated a chamber of mines, which has the
hearty support of the most prominent
merchants of that city. 1t is not in n
way established for profit, but with the
sole object of disseminating reliable in
formation n statistics of the mining
world.
1t has been organized upon the same
basis as the Johannesburg Chamber Of
Mines, which has done SO much for South
Africa by introducing and keeping before
the world the mineral of that
continent and it is entirely through the
confidence reposed in that institution that
capital has hitherto flowed so freely from
Europe for the development of African
mines.
In the short period Of six years no less
than twelve hundre and fifty million dol
lars (G250, 600, 0O0) Of European capital
having been p%roftably invested at divl-
dends averaging 81 per cent. per annum,
consequently abundance of capital has
always been forthcoming for fresh enter
pTlSeS whenever tIe mpTlHldIeuf Ol Uudl
institution justified it..
johannesburg a few years g was
quite unknown to the rest of the world
and even the Transvaal itself was merely
a geographical expression. With the es-
Establishment of it's Chamber of Mines, all
his was changed as if by magic, in the
first place by a systematic propaganda of
absolutely reliable, general and statistical
information. This was achieved by sup
plying the newspaper press of Eu-
rope daily with short paragraphs of inter-
esting information upon mining matters,
never allowing the interest to flag for a
moment, until the millions of continental
Europe and throughout the world became
aware Of the fact that there was such a
place as Johannesburg and later to the
fact that gold was there in payable guam
titles, soon the interest in. those fields be
came so pronounced that (until the war;
there was scarcely a newspaper through
out the world, in any language, that did
not eagerly seek and publish its statistf-
cal information and progressive gold out
put.

near future, Silas F. King will handle the

acquitted.
The news of Brumley's acquittal was
received in this city today through a copy
Of the Silver Star, a paper published in
Dolores. Evidently a man for breakfast

of Brumley's trial and acquittal.
More than a year g Brumley killed
his partner, James South. The men had
Jointly owned a herd of cattle and a sa-
loon. Brumley was married and had
raised a large family. South was single,
younger than Brumley by 20 years, and
was blessed with good looks. He board
ed at Brumley's home. and, according to
the affections of his partners wife. broke
up his home. and. through the misguid-
ed wife. ruined him in business.
One day Brumley met South on the
main street of Dolores. Both men had
been anticipating the meeting and both
were armed. Bru1nley shot the despoiler
of his home dead and rode out of the
town a fugitive from justice.
A posse was at once organized, but
Brumley managed to elude his pursuers.
In his flight he Travelled 5000 miles over
Texas. Mexico. California and other
western states. finally stopping in Butte,
where he went to work. He had been
here only a few weeks when some one
VIC had known him in Colorado recog-
nized him and wrote to the Colorado au-
thorities, notifying them that ne was in
Butte.
A few days later a Geographic, descrip-
ton of Brumley was received by Detec-

He promptly admitted to the officers
that he was the man who had killed
South. He said he was tired of keeping
out of the way of his pursue,s and was
only too glad to go back to his home and
stand trial. He also said tnut the only
reason he had run away was on account
of his daughters. one of whom was pr,wn
and married. He was quite confident he
would be acquitted.

FIVE THOUSAND PASSED.

Miss McAndrews is the first to pass the
1000 mark in the Paris-Nome contest.
Today an addition of 31l votes brought
her total up to 5,075. Thomas Bryant
gained 200 and is now credited with
4,457. The contest ends a week from to-
day. The voting all through the coming
week should be very heavy, as the
friends of the favorites do not propose
that the prize shall be lost, without a
struggle. Remember. a trip to the gay

Papers Read and Discussed-New on
GERS Elected.

The mathematical section of the State
Teachers Association held its meeting yes
terday afternoon in the rooms of the lieu
tenant governor at the Statehouse. The
meeting was attended by more than one
hundred teachers of the State. and much
interest was manifested in the programme.
The first paper was read by John E. Hig-
don, of the Indianapolis High School, on
Some Methods of Teaching Geometry"
Mr.. Higdon suggested a revision of the
method used in textbooks and in the
teaching of geometry with a view OF lead
ing pupils to more independent and original
thought.
Following Mr.. Higdon an interesting pa
per on Valuation of High School Trigo-
nometry'' was read by Il. L. Sackett, OF
Earlham College, Mr.. Sackett
said the high school was in most instances
the end of the pupils schooling and con-
sequently high school instruction should be
given with q view TO fitting him for his
life work, rather than as a preparatory
course for college.
Prof. s. c. DAWSON, of Indiana Univer-
sity. read a valuable paper on "Mathe-
NAUTICAL Deficiencies OF Our College Fresh
men," in which he earnestly urged high
school teachers TO give their pupils a bet
ter preparation for college. Too many things
are taught 10 enable the pupil to profit as
he should in the high schools.
The papers were generally discussed by
the teachers present. Before adjournment
the following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President. r. l. Sackett,

STATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Interest at Five Per Cent. Guaranteed
in Perpetufty.

The state finance committee, with the
attorney general and William b. Stuart and
Professor Stone. president of Purdue Uni
versity, had a meeting in the Governors
rarlors yesterday afternoon in relation to
the $40, 600 of 5 per cent. bonds due April
1, 1901. These bonds were twenty-year OBJ
legations, and it was the purpose of the
State to pay ,hem off on April 1 next. It
was found. however. that the act of Con-
gress OF March ], 1866, by which the State
accepted the land grant made at that time
to the different States of the Union that
accepted the terms of the act. which was
for the purpose of establishing a mainte-
nance fund for colleges similar to that Of
Purdue University, provided that the
moneys. proceeding from the sale of lands
should be kept intact and the interest, at 5
per cent, guaranteed in perpetuity. This
act of Congress is Know as the Morrill, act,
and a number Of States accepted it's terms
diana is in-that they have a perpetual
obligation bearing an interest rate of 5
per cent.
The act of 1866 passed by the Indiana
Legislature, under which this bond was
created, authorizes a twenty-year obliga-
ton. 1t was the conclusion of this confer
ence yesterday afternoon that the State
f fSSi do 5nsTs5pr wo mGd pave I ~ r en.S o fpe si but
alton to the coming session of the Legis-
lature and q new bond issued or the pres
ent bond extended for whatever term of
years the Legislature gees fit. The interest
on the Purdue bond is payable quarterly,
and mounts to 81. 1000 per annum. The
Finance Board will therefore apply the
moneys expected to be paid in redeeming
the Purdue University bond in paying the
school-fund ~refunding bonds, that have an
option upon them, and which can be paid
at any time. They, however, only bear 3
per cent, and ii was the hope of the finance
board that instead of %refunding this
5 per cent. bond they could take up the
Purdue University bonds, and thus give the
State the advantage Of the additional 2
per cent.
