NEW DISTRICT BILL IN Effect.

The report from Helena, and which
appeared in the River Press, Great

proved to have been erroneous.

Immediately upon receiving his ap-
polntment and proceeded with his
duties at once. The River Press said:
The counties ofChoteau and Valley

presiding under appointment by the
governor. The news OF Judge Tat
tan's appointment reached this city
at u late hour Monday nightin a tele-

Boyle OF the district court, who will
lle It with the secretary OF state and
supply copies to the clerks OF each

Y060 QUARTZ CLAIMS.
This Old Tine Mining Camp Liable TO Again
Come to the Front.

Very favorable reports from the
Yogo quartz district ut the head OF
the Judith river bring the old time
camp into public notice. Though
much money has at different times
been sunk la quartz mines in that
district 1t was by reason OF mining
men going there with the idea that
the ore was all Of the free milling
variety, which 1t certainly was on
the surface, but developing into sui
phurets on extensive working. In
mense bodies OF low grade smelling
ore are to be found In the locality Of
Yogo.
The Weatherwax mine In Skunk
Gulch, the ore of which az at one
time worked with an eraster and was
u paying proposition at that, has
now run into sulphurets, for which
formation smelling is necessary.
In Elk Gulch there is the Blue Dick,
which Is a solid mountain OF low
grade copper ore. This mine has
been worked at various times by out
fits not possessing the capital neces-
sary to put In mills and machinery
needed for the working and handling
of large quantities OF low grade ore.
The Pat Langdon prospect, close
Yogo, Is a copper prospect runningt to
10 per cent ore, Of which there is a
large quantity.
Abe Carter and George Settler own
a gold discovery back of Yogo which
assayed Sion the surface. They have
run IA l40-foot tunnel and have a6-foot
vein OF fine ore.
There are various other prospects
situated in the vicinity of Yogo on
which work Is still being done and
which on development show large
bodies Of ore.
Another property which Is not a
great distance from Yogo is the

that better times are In store forit.

Base Ball as a Business Proposition.
The st. Albans Messenger, Barre
Times and Rutland News are discuss
ing the subject of state base ball
league. The Rutland contemporary
remarks: ut seems ridiculous that
towns like Rutland, burlington, st. AL
bans, Barre, Montpelier, Bellows Falls
and others cannot afford creditable
base ball teams" AS a matter of fact
all these towns nave tried professional
base ball, and every venture has been
a failure financially. AS a business
proposition base ball never pays ex-
there. Base ball is the most interest
ing sport in existence for a majority
of Americans, but professional organi-
cations in small cities eventually face
a deficit. Brattleboro had the reputa-
tion for four consecutive years of
maintaining the strongest team in Yer
mont and the Connecticut valley, and,
notwithstanding intense enthusiasm
and large attendance, liberal support
from summer visitors and other ex-
ceptional conditions, such as rivalry
with other towns like Burlington, Bel
lows Falls, and Northampton, and an
attractive lot of young men (mostly
college graduates) as players, the in
evitable situation at the end of the
season was an empty treasury and
some bills unpaid. The business men
of Springfield, Mass, in one of the
largest centres of trade in New Eng
land, after dropping thousands of dol
lars in team, came to the conclu.
sion this year that it was not worth
while for the city to be represented
in the Eastern league.

Five great shipyards of the country
those in Newport News, New Lon
don, Elizabethport, and San Francis
co and two in Bath-will be consoli-
dated under one management with
$70,0O000 capital. The combination
will build an immense dry dock at
New York. 1t is reported that Ad-
mifal Bowles, the chief naval construc-
tor, who succeeded Admiral Hichborn
recently, will resign his government
position to direct the work of the con-
solidated yards.
]. P. Morgan, the New York banker
who has engineered so many of the big
industrial combinations recently, is
now in London and it is stated on good
authority that he has bought a con-
trolling interest in the Leyland steam
ship line and the Atlantic transport
company. The Leyland company has
regular lines from Liverpool to both
Boston and New York, also a line from
Antwerp to Montreal, and from Liv-
erpool to the Mediterranean ports.
This purchase is looked upon in many
quarters as the first step in the pool
ing of the transatlantic lines, and it is
reported that the next negotiations
will be with the Cunard and White
Star lines.

member of the firm. Between the
years 1891 and 1900 the quarters of the
office in the Harmony building had
been repeatedly enlarged and various
shifts had been made to find the room
absolutely required for the accommo-
datiOn of it's business. During the
summer and fall of last year the pres
sure of work became greater than
ever and last November the heirs of
the Edward Crosby estate, owners of
the real estate, recognizing the drift
of things and the importance of the
concern as a business enterprise of
Bratteboro, decided to provide once
for all adequate room for the per-
manent accommodation and develop
ment of the business. The problem
presented was a difficult one, it being
no less than the complete reconstruc-
tion of the interior of the Harmony
building, while the business of f. l..
Hildreth & Co. should at the same
time go on as usual Work was be-
gun the middle of November and was
vigorously prosecuted throughout the
winter. BY means of changes, and
improved accommodations given to
other tenants, the ,ntire four stories
of the Harmony building proper have
been completely rebuilt, made abso-
lutely new, and devoted to the use of
The Phoenix Job Printing office, to-
gether with the main part of the sec
ond and third floors of the annex.
The change wrought has been sur
prising one. and it is so complete as to
seem almost unreal to those who knew
the building in its old form but have
not personally watched the work of
renovation. There is not to be found
anywhere in this section a manufac-
turing building of more substantial
construction or of more modern ap-
pearance. and we know of none
so we'll lighted, so commodious,
or so well adapted to the
use to which it is devoted. And the
best of it is that the four floors are oc-
cupied by thoroughly modern print
ing plant. which includes new presses
and other machinery, and new prin-
ters' material of every kind, and that
a busy force of workmen are using
this material to turn out every day a
large volume of as good printing as is
done anywhere in the country.
