FOR ARMY INCREASE
BILL IS PROPOSED FOR
100000 PERMANENT FORCE
Accomplished by Increasing Size Of
Companies--NO Additional Officers
What Senator Hawley
Says.

New York, Nov 20. - High Off
ais connected with the war depart.
ment. II is announced in a Tribune
dispatch from Washington, says they
are negotiating to ask congress for a
permanent enlisted strength of 100,.
900 men for the regular army or for
an addition to the number Of officers
now on the army lists.
II is learned from authoritative
sources in the department that bill
will be presented to congress provld'
ing for permanent minimum strength
of 100000 men in the regular army
and at the same time comforting All
thority on the president to double the
number in case of need to 100000
men. This is to be done. not by form
ing new regiments, but by adding en-
listed men to the existing organized
companies without at all increasing
the number of commissioned officers
This arrangement would bring the
army more in harmony with the mod
ern methods of organization, which
tend to large companies and regi
ments.
General Hawley Of Connecticut. o.
the senate committee on military NJ
fairs, says that as soon as Secretary
Root returns from Cuba a bill reor
ganizing the army on a permanent
basis will be prepared and introduced
in both houses.
Senator Hawley is quoted as sayin.
in the course of an interview:
''In. my opinion an army Of not les
than 100000 and perhaps more SHOULD
be maintained at the present time. II
the near future, of course, there ma!
be cause for reduction. think ,
measure might be passed empowering
the president to use his discretion to |
great extent in determining the eXac
strength of the army. not. of course
to exceed the maximum fixed by con
gress. Under conditions such as tho5'
existing at present, for instance, thu
president could recruit an army c
whatever proportions he deemn,
necessary to handle g Philippine In
surrection and upon the conclusion
of that work he could reduce the mum
Der of troops in proportion to existing
needs. This, think. would be mos
excellent solution of the whole prob

C0luSa-Parr0t Does Not Come
In Contact With Anaconda
THINKS MIR. CHASE
Witnesses Called to Establish Tonnage
of Ore Taken From Contested
Ground.

The cross-examination of E.. E.. Chase.
the mining expert, in the mining suit OF
the Colusa- Parrot-Anaconda, was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon. During the
afternoon he was shown on the map the
workings at the 1.1OO-foot level of Colusa-
Parrot which cut through the blue vein.
Asked as to why these workings were
there he replied that there was an ore
slip there. He admitted that while the
ore was cut off by the blue vein there
was ore in places across the assure to
the point where the Anaconda vein was
again found.
On his redirect examination by Gov
ernor Thomas, Mr.. Chase said that there
was a change in the dip of the Colusa-
Parrot vein between the 800 and 800 lev
els. He believed that the Colusa-Parrot
vein does not come in contact with the
Anaconda vein and that they were sep
arate and district. The witness was
examined at length in reference to his
testimony given at the hearing of the
Oden-Nipper suit. He said the contro-
versy then was whether what Is now des-
ignated as the blue vein crossed the side
line or end line of the Nipper. At that
time there was very little development
work done on that portion of the vein
but since Their numerous crOSScutS had
been driven. He a called this blue
vein the Anaconda vein because it apex
ed in Anaconda ground.
A number of witnesses were called at
the afternoon session for the purpose of
establishing the tonnage of ore taken
from the LOO, 1900 and 1900 levels OF
the Never Sweat, in what is claimed by
plaintiffs as Colusa-Parrot ground. VIII
liam Zarchke testified al to the number
of stope plats of the alleged trespass
workings. August Christian, formerly
chief engineer of the Anaconda said he
had made a number of computations Of
the trespass Slopes. Calculating II GU
bic feet to the ton it would amount to
4 1863 TONS.
Horace v. Winchell a geologist in the
employ of h Anaconda, and John Gillie
testified to the fact that they had taken
samples of the ore in h trespass ground.
S. J. 'GhOrmley. a chemist in the employ
of the Anaconda testified to having made
assays of the samples taken by Winchell
and Gillie. The assays ranged from 81
per cent to one per cent copper n from
1913 ounces in silver to less han one
ounce.
r. F. Pearce, manager Of the Colorado
Mining and Smelling Co., also testified
as to the value of the ore alleged to have
been extracted by the Anaconda Co.
from the disputed ground. At the ruling
price for copper and silver at the time
the ore was taken he estimated the value
| at $18, 619.7O Taking the estimate SUBJ
mitted by MI. Sizer for the Colusa-Par-
rot company, he said the total would be
Z 5,118.0 S.
At this point the court adjourned un.
til Monday morning.

Because of Butte the League
Plan Fails.
OUR SPORTS ARE PIKERS
Only a rev Who Were Approached
Would Financially Encourage
the League.

Where g1adness reigned in the hearts
of the local fans yesterday. sorrow now
has it's habitation. The Montana base
ball league, which would nave furnished
good. clean sport for thousands. has
been turned down by Butte, and the pro-
ject has, of a natural fallen
through, because a Montana league with
out Butte would not be a league, hence
the sorrow In local fandom.
All day yesterday the local committee.
w. E. Phillips and Charles D.. French,
labored with men Of finance in the en-
deavor to interest them i'm the project.
What was easy to do in Helena. Great
Falls and Missoula, was uphill work in
the greatest mining scamp on earth,
where there is money to burn. They In
terviewed every one, from the big. ones
with bursting wallets to those of more
modest means. They met with scant
encouragement, and ait night. after a
hard days work, had secured pledges
aggregating $1,050. Then they held a
consultation and decided to go out OF
the teeth pulling business. They had
been everywhere and had seen every
body, and decided that, as far as the
league was concerned, they were up
| against it," and -then n there washed
| their hands Of the whole business. Ana
conbda and Great Falls were wired not
to send any delegates to the league meet
! ing called for this afternoon In this city,
and Mr.. Phillips carried the news to
| Helena. It is unnecessary to state that
/ Mr.. Phillips, who has worked SO hard for
the organization of the league, went to
his home IN a very unbcheerful frame OF
mind.
1--WE worked hard and did all W. could"
said Mr.. French this morning; "but the
project did not appeal to the people. and
we decided to quit. Mr.. Phillips has de-
voted two weeks of his time to the or
| SANITATION of the league, n the failure
| Of Butte to respond is quite a disap-
| pointment to him. The project Is dead
unless some one resurrects it soon. as the
baseball season is advancing and In a
short time 1t will be too late to secure
players.
