THRILLS OF EXCITEMENT.
Alleged Discovery of Copper and
Gold in the SnoWies Explained.

Aie9ed discovery OF copper ana
Gold in the Snowies Explained.
The Great Falls people who felt
some few thrills of excitement over
the alleged discovery of mountains of
copper and gold in the Snowy noun
tains in Fergus county, by one George
Ayers, may thank the second Judge
ment which Kept them at home during
the time that hundreds of men were
rushing headlong for the Monte Chris
to district, says the Leader.
Perhaps one reason why there were
no stampeders from Great Falls, is
that there are number of people
here who know Mr.. Ayers, and their
knowledge of him was such that they
hardly felt justified in making any
move in the matter until the find had
been further Investigated. The latest
from the fields show the whole STAN
pede to have been fake of the rank
est kind, without even a chance for
its being the truth. Ayers is shift
less sort of young man who works
at punching cows and doing odd
chores about the ranches of the lower
end of Fergus county, and couple of
weeks ago he came to the store keep
er at Harlowtown and displaying a
shot bag full of globules of copper
stated that he mad found them in the
bed of a stream in the Little Snow
les and that he would direct the store
keeper there if he so desired. The
store keeper was glad and after hav-
ing mad the copper melted and sampl,
ed, he threw a number of alcoholic
drops into the cowboy, and with great
secrecy they started into the hills dur
ing one of the darkest nights which
could be produced. For eight weary
days the cowboy, the store keeper
and the supply of alcoholic drops
wandered up and down the slopes and
landshdes of the Little Snowies and
at last the store keeper saw light and
returned home weary and disgusted.
In the meantime the news OF the
mysterious disappearance and the as
say of the copper globules from Great
Falls flew from mouth to mouth,
growing on the way, until at last
all of the population for 40 miles
around had taken to the hills looking
mysterious and carrying location
notices. People came from Butte and
Helena, even, and the obliging man

By Associated Press:
Victoria, B c., Aug. 19.-The steam
er Islander, flagship of the Canadian
Pacific Navigation company's fleet,
and the largest and fastest passenger
steamer on the Victoria -Skagway
route, collided with an iceberg off
Douglass Island, Alaska while on her
way south with the largest numbe;
Of passengers she has carried since
being placed on this run few months
ago. The steamer sunk within fifteen
minutes after striking. Captain Foote,
her master, and about 67 persons were
drowned. The steamers boilers ex-
ploded as she went down, causing the
death Of many who were struggling in
the water. The steamer left Skag-
way on Wednesday last After the
collision the boats were quickly man
ned, but a large number of the passen-
gers went down in their state rooms.
Some survivors arrived here last
evening by a steamer which picked
them up at Juneau. The officer stat

OF their regards A day or so after
Ayers and the store keeper took to the
hills, the lady at whose home Ayers
had peen working missed shot bag
OF copper specimens which had been
sent her by her brother in Great Falls,
and there was wailing and gnashing
of teeth. The brother had worked for
the Boston and Montana smelter for
the past two years and during that
time had sent his sister a number of
copper specimens of all kinds, which
the lady had kept in a bag as curios,
and which it was evident that Mr..
Ayers had run across. When the store
keeper came home the lady mentioned
the loss of her bag of copper speci-
mems from Great Falls. and as she
hao quite a number left, they were
shown to the store keeper and one
or two others and they fitted the case
exactly; then the store keeper dug
up few of the specimens of copper
found by Mr.. Ayers in the heart of the
Snowy mountains, and they were
found to be some of the specimens
which the brother from Great Falls
had sent to his sister during the last
two years. The remarkable part of
the whole story is the ease with which
everybody bit at the fake and hasten
ed to accept the story of the noun
tain of copper and gold as found la

SCHOL SAVINGS BANK.
State Superintendent WeIch Favors
Their Introduction.

State superintendent WeIch Favors
Their Introduction.
One of the subjects that is receiv-
ing the attention of the state depart
ment OF pubic instruction is the prac-
ticability of school savings banks as
a means Of stimulating thrift and eco
nomy among the rising generation
Superintendent Welch has collected
some data upon the subject and will
make a recommendation, no doubt, of
a favorable character, to the governor,
in mis- annual report.
'''rhe sentiment of thrift and econ
omy," said Mr.. Welch, d" shouldbe in
culcated in the youth OF this genera
tlons as the tenuencies of the age are
not toward economy; at least not in
the cities, wnere the facilities for
spending money are great.
Zone of the most essential things
that should be taught to the average
American child is the principle of
economy. A small boy gets a penny
and he finds it burning hole in his
pocket and this sensation continues
until the money is spent. If he is en-
couraged to save the money, he does
it, and with it comes certain feeling
of independence and self-reliance.
'The tendency in this country is
to spend. Every foreigner who comes
to the United States notices it.
II believe that the school savings
banks will do much to teach the
younger generation that thrift and
economy are homely virtues which
make peopIe more reliant and less de-
pending.
"The Washington Post recently
took the matter up," continued Mr..
Welch, land objected to the school
savings bank on the ground that it
was out of place and was in no way a
practical branch of our educational
system. The views of the Post on the
subject are not very generally shared
by those who know anything of the
operation of the system. If there is
anything that a parent endeavors To
teach child it is economy. Toy saw
ings banks are brought into requisi-
tion and pennies are boarded. What a
child learns as child he will remem-
ber and practice as a man. And this
is particularly true of economy anu
thrift. If boy or girl Is given money
to spend and has no regard or know
ledge of it's value or source, when he
is a young man he will very likely
relain his early ideas on the subject.
There are exceptions to this and every
we'll established rule.
II think that the idea could be very
successfully carried out in this state,
as it has been elsewhere, more par
ticularly in the Atlantic coast states

THREE IMPORTANT SECTIONS.
They are Gradually Coming Together.
-Heinze Would Sell for
$5,000,000 or Less.


-Heinze Would Sell for
s5,ooo,ooo or Less.
In discussing the concentration of
copper interests in the United States
the New England Statist says:
"The business OF bringing together
under one management all of the i'm.
portant copper producing properties
of the country has received, and is
still receiving, the most careful atten-
tion. Barring the time it has thus far
taken to bring the various interests to.
gether, which has naturally been pro-
longed by the opposition of the Heinze
forces in Montana, the copper ANAL.
gamation has presented no very for
midable snags.
There are three important copper
producing sections of the country One
is in Montana, the other is in Michi-
gan, while the third is in Arizona.
The Montana situation, according to
those who have had the best oppor-
tunities for ascertaining facts, is at
the present time in such shape that
the Amalgamated interests can, when
ever they desire. force the issue and
win the battle. Heinze. it is saic py
those who know him intimately, would
even today, and with the lucrative
Minnie Healy property in his pos.
session, sell out for a sum that
would be rather less than more than
$5,OOO,O0O. People accept at a liberal
discount any statements to the effect
that Heinze will not sell out at a figure
many times larger than the one named
above.
Allowing that the Amalgamated
company is in position to take pos.
session of the Montana field at its
leisure, there then remains the Lake.
In this section there are no unpleas-
ant legal entanglements. In the Calu-
met & hecla there is, it must be aa-
mitted, an unknown quantity, but,
aside from that property there is
good reason for believing that the
Amalgamated can at it's leisure and at
reasonable prices take over the re-
naming important properties.
"In Arizona the field offers even
greater simplicity of operation. Sena-
tor Clark. as is known to all, is now
considered as occupying an attitude of
great friendliness towards the Stand
ard Oil interests. It is fair to pre-
sumo that his United Verde can be
counted as an Amalgamated proba-
bility. The Arizona Copper company
and the properties owned and operat-
ed by Phelps, Dodge & Co., together
with the United Verde. are the import
ant Arizona producers at the present
time. All of these properties can be
acquired by the Amalgamated at
certain figure. and, perhaps. it is not
going beyond the confines of truth
when it is stated that the precise fig
ure is today known by all parties in
terested."
