SHOCKING A LANDLORD.
The Guests Wanted Cheap Game In

We had been at Rocky Mountain hotel
for week, and beefsteak and mutton chops
had been on the bill of fare at every meal
to the exclusion of all other meats. 1t was
finally decided to send the colonel to the
landlord to protest, and having gained the
ear of mine host, he said:
81 want to speak to you in a good
natured way about your meats"
"My meats?" echoed the landlord. "Why,
is there anything wrong about my meats
I'm getting the very best. !"

formation that the recent deal for the
sale of the property was Off The ten day
option held by the British Columbia and
Spokane capitalists expired last week.
During the term of the option the mine
had been closed down and Mr.. Turner at
once gave orders for the resumption OF
work.
Mr.. Turner also brought to Butte a
handsome gold brick representing one

to the contemplated sale of the Madi-
onian he aid
Yes, the deal is off, and I am glad
of it. The parties who We're figuring on
the purchase made several expert eX-
a~minations of it. but ewing probably to
the troubles in the SLOGAN country,
where they are interested in mines, the
option was allowed to lapse.
II neverfavored the sale and was anxi-
GUS to hold IN to the mine, but as my
partners were in favor of it I gave my
assent. l am pleased at the way In which
things turned out as I believe we have
one Of the biggest gold properties in Mon
tana If not in the west. We will oper-
ate it on a large scale his year and the
gold output of Madison county will be
greatly augmented thereby during this

SLOGAN STRIKE SETTLED.

1t is stated that the labor troubles ia
the SLOGAN district, B. e.. are at an end.
A compromise was affected whereby the
mine operators agreed to pay 1925 per
day for an eight hour shift, but declined
to recognize the unions.
The trouble started last July when the
legislature passed a law making it a
criminal offensa for an employer to keep
an underground at work more than eight
hours. The previous shift had been ten
hours n the wages $3.5O per day. The
Miners union commended for the same
wages for the eight hou shift. The
adjustment of the trouble pleases mine
owners and miners alike The strike
was conducted without turmoil or any
exhibition of lawlossness. 1t is believ-
ed that the Rossland mines which closed
down some weeks g will now resume.

made a brief speech, in which he thanked
the ministers for the endorsement of the
movement n others who had given the
clerks support in their efforts for a
shorter work day. He then introduced
the chairman of the meeting, William
Walsh, president of the State Trades and
Labor council.
Mr.. Walsh said he considered it his
duty to do all he could to help the clerks
in their fight for shorter hours. He con-
Sidered their action g that OF

their rights.
Rev. DR.. B~lackiston was then intro
