| That the present condition of the
copper market has compelled a curtail-
ment of the product in Butte and thai
the chief burden of sustaining the mar
ket has fallen upon Butte producers be-
cause of the refusal of outside concerns
to assume their share of the loss, has
worked temporary hardship upon some
most deserving men, greatly to the regret
OF all parties concerned.
The cheerful features of the situation,
however, are "a the reported improve
ment in foreign business conditions, (2)
the noticeable decrease of the surplus. and
90 the reasonable certainty of a resump.
ton at full blast before long without any
decrease in price or collapse to an un-
profitable price. Two other points are
worthy of attention. One is that there
has been no perceptible increase in pro-
ductlon. as some people have feared.
The other is that in Butte and Anaconda
preparations are making for the treat
ment of an increased amount of ore.
At the new Anaconda smeNer, construc-
tion work is being rushed, from which
fact no deduction can be drawn other
than that of an intention to increase the
output. Therefore. while the present
seems quiet the outlook seems bright.

HIT OF RUDOLPH AND ADOLPH.
Comedians Make an Evening of Merri-
ment at New Grand.

In play without plot, but replete in
comedy effects, Messrs. Mason and Ma
son, as Rudolph and Adolph, bid for
the good humor of an audience at the
New Grand last evening.
The perefct resemblance Of the Dim
kelspiel brothers, Rudolph and Adolph,
was the hinge upon which the comedy
hung, and the people laughed from the
time of the initial appearance of the
pair until the curtain fell
The Masons in their domestic miX-ups

far out into the ridiculous, and their re-

AS the star actors of the cast, Dan
and Charles A. Mason easily carry off
the honors, and Lottie Williams Salter
is the winner among the actresses.
The play will be repeated tonight for
the last time, and it merits a good

TO CHECK sCALPERs.
Collector System in Use Elsewhere May
BE Adopted in Butte.

BE Adopted in Butte.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company has adopted the "ticket collec-
tor" system ON its line in order to put q
quietus on the scalper. and there Is a
quiet rumor going the rounds to the ef-
feet that the system may be adopted on
at least some Of the lines running into
Butte.
The collectors on the o. r. & N. board
the trains In Spokane, Pendleton and
Portland. and remain with them until
they are worked" and then return on
the next train.
They collect all cash fares and through
tickets, giving in return checks which
entitle the passengers to a continuous
Assage to their destination. They do
not touch mileage books.
The system is worked only from ter
minal points, but II 1t proves successful
it is to be spread over the entire sys-
tenn.
The principal object of the collector
system is to knock out the scalper. as the
collector has more time than the con-
ductor to identify passengers.
The system is now in vogue at ter
minal points on the Northern Pacific. and
was introduced on the O. r. & N. by A.
l.. Craig, the general passenger agent
who for several years was assistant gen.
eral passenger agent for the Northern
Pacific at st. Paul.

Another great copper bonanza has
gone up in smoke. 1t was a world
beater, and some Butte men put up
$4,000 for the privilege of paying $500, 900
for the property later on. The man who
had the bond and wanted the 10000
just to hold the property" told of an
outcrop of So per cent copper ore % feet
wide and extending across the top of
a mountain and through it like a broa
axe through a cheese. A competent
mining man was sent to investigate.
The promoter went with him. The mine
was on Prince of Wales island, near the
apex of a mountain as steep as church
spire and as slippery as glass. On arriv-
ing at the spot the expert asked to be
shown the ore. "Well, you see" said the
promoter. 1T isn't here. but I thought
1t was. The vein was covered with
snow, and I was shown two specimens
from places % feet apart l supposed
that was the width of the ledge, but il
must have been the length Of it." Then
the expert and the promoter, havins
marched UP the hill, marched down
again. The copper market is still safe

Mems meeting Is called to order this
evening""
These were the positive statements
that We're made by one of the influential
members OF the Business Mems associa-
ton this morning. when asked to ex-
press an opinion on the work Of the
committees that are raising money for
the congress and on the probable sue
cess of the project of getting the meet
ing OF the congress here.
There is no longer any doubt In my
mind about this congress business"
continued the speaker.
Active Canvass in Progress.
1--WE want $4,000 to insure the coming
of the congress and, while I cannot say
that we have the amount pledged at
present. 1 feel certain that the canvass
that will be made during the day will
bring the figures up to that amount.
The business men are taking hold Of
the project in earnest and there is no
doubt about what the Butte business
men can do when they are in earnest.
1.-The miners have come to the front in
this matter bravely, the banks are with
us and the hotels have shown the proper

all right.
Il don't want to say that they have
pledged any certain amount, but I have
assurances that they will help us out
handsomely.
Reports to Be Made.
AT the meeting tonight there will be
reports made by the committees which
have been securing subscriptions for the
congress. The mining companies will
receive these reports and upon them will
doubtless base their action with refer

$4,000 now to insure the coming of the

Plain Statement Of Fact.
"In order to make the matter palmer

Scheme.

One of the smoothest worked robberies
recorded for sometime was perpetratel
Sunday evening in the Butte Brewery.
The victim was Joseph Sari. engineer
at the brewery, and the robbers are be-
lieved to be two men who have been
hanging around the plant, aud one of
whom is an ex-convict.
The men planned the robbery in detail
and with foresight worthy of great
crime.

noon. and was on his way to the post
office when he met the two men who
are suspected of the robbery.
They walked with him short dis
lance and left after the fact of drawing
the money had been mentioned.
Sari went to the postoff1ce and bought
a $50 money order to send away. In
putting his money away he placed the
roll in his inside overcoat pocket. think
ing, however, that he had placed it in
his under coat.
On returning to the brewery he found
the two men there. One of them went
down stairs, came up again to the tap
room and informed the engineer that
one of the other employees wanted him
down below to repair some pipes that
had burst.

Sari removed his overcoat and hung
1t up in the tap room and then went
down stai:T.
He searched for the employee supposed
to have sent for him. but could find no
signs Of a leak such as had been re-
ported.

the men and his overcoat missing. A
search Of his pockets showed that the
money had been placed in the overcoat

CATTLE FOR EXPORT,

The fiscal year ending last June saw
the highest mark set in the export trade
in beef cattle that has been known in
the country's history.
The total number Of head sent out was
45921S and the value of this item of our
export trade was $37 SGT. $50. OF this total
over 80 per cent was paid for by England.
The East Indies and Bermuda took about
$1,000 head and the remainder went to the
various countries Of South America.
The record of the year just closed
marks the high tide in the business Of
exporting cattle. The only year in his
tory that approaches it in the splendid
totals recorded is 1898 when the beef
cattle exported numbered twenty thous-
and less than the total Of the last fiscal
year.
The only live competitors the United
States has known in the territory to
which our cattle export trade extends
are Canada and Argentine. South
America. The annual exports from
Canada amount to about 10000 head and
of this number 11s,o went to the mar
kets Of Great Britain.
An embargo rests upon the cattle ex-
ports of Argentina closing British ports
against them because of a foot and
! mouth disease which has ragged there for
the past season. This is an i'll wind blow
ing no small amount of good to the cattle
interests Of the United States, barring
out an annual shipment of about 81, 0C0
head from the British market.
The top notch in the history of the
dressed and canned beef trade was
reached last year also. In this line of
exports the total overshadows that of the
| beef scent abroad on the hoof. OF fresh,
| canned and cured beef $40,376,75S worth
| was sent out, the trade following the
! same channels taken by the livestock
| sent to foreign markets.
The export trade in cattle looks bright
| Before the embargo against Argentina
! beef is lifted the English market will
be organized by American shippers and
| this strong source of competition re-
| moved. The countries of South America
| are calling for more American beef each
| year and the Orient is learning to APP
| preciate the flavor of the product canned
| at Omaha and Chicago.
Travelling men are being sent out In
increasing numbers every year, intro
| ducing the long horned steer who is soon
to follow these advance agents into every
country on the globe The range cattle

Especial to Inter Mountain.l
Anaconda, Nov. 25.-AlOng with other
reformation talk going the rounds in
Anaconda, is one matter that has had
but little mention, but which is greatly
desired by the citizens. That is an early
closing ordinance for the saloons OF the
city. Not only are many citizens in
favor of this, but some of the more
prominent saloonkeepers as well.
q The latter say that it is either an even
break or a loss for them to keep open
after and they would heartily indorse an
ordinance closing all resorts of the city
at IL O'Clock. 1t is highly probable that
in view of these facts the matter will
receive more attention in future than it
has in the past.
