future. He says the indications are all
that could be desired and are more than
are generally found in countries that
produce great quantities of oil.
The company recently began opera
tons with a drill in charge of an ex-
perenced driller. The we'll is now down
1875 feet and is being sunk at the rate Of
20 fet in "a hours. The fosslized forma-
ton encountered makes the drilling me-
cessafily slow at times.
Mr.. Fine says, however, that he cares
20 feet in "a hours. The fossilized forma-
the driller is compelled to go through,
although the drilling Is slow, the forma-
ton is the best possible indication Of
future good results.
Mr.. Fine in speaking of the formation
of the country said:
I'VE have concentration or COM
bination of all the indications ever
known in any oil countries We have
oil seepages. fosslized rock and sand
stone, plenty Of Oil shale, red shale at
that and no granite.
THE oil has paraffine base and will
be the most valuable that could be ex-
pected. Experts have said that we have
a marketable property in the shale
alone.'

MONTANA'S FLAG DAY.
General Observance of Acquisition of
Louisiana Territory.


This is the anniversary of the transfer
of the Louisiana territory to the United
States. and according to a recent proc
lamation of Governor Toole it is flag
day. The governor asked that the citi-
zens of Montana generally observe the
day by displaying flags from their places
of business and homes.
His request met with a hearty re-
Spouse in Butte, and today flags We're
generally displayed.
The proclamation of Governor Toole
in part is as follows:
ut seems appropriate to celebrate
with impressive ceremonies the ami
versary date of the actual transfer Of
the Louisiana purchase TO the United
States. The Importance of this change
to American sovereignty is now awaken
ing widespread interest at home and
abroad, and has ELECTED special mention
in the message of the president Of the
United States.
THE patriotic proposition put forth in
other states to float the American flag
on such anniversary from the buildings
of all national, state, county and mu-
nicipal institutions in the entire Louisi-
ana purchase meets with my unqualified
approval"

May Go to Chile.

1t is reported in Butte that j. II.
Young, superintendent of the Utah di-
vision of the Oregon Short Line, may
go to Chile to take charge OF the rail-
road which a. w McCune, j. 3. Hag-
gin and their associates intend to build
and operate in connection with their
mining business in that country.
Mr.. Young is now comforting with Mr..
Haggin in New York in regard to the
matter.
Mr.. McCune is in Chile, but the sup
position is that any arrangement made
by Mr.. Haggin and the other members
of the syndicate will be satisfactory to
him.
The property, in conjunction with
which the gentlemen expect to operate
the railroad. is located high up in the
Andes mountains.
A railroad has been constructed a por-
ton of the way to the mine. but the
owners of the property are not satisfied
with halfway business.
If Mr.. Young leaves the Short Line it
is probable that f. n. RotsfOrd, chief
dispatcher and trainmaster of the Utah
division, will succeed him. as he is next
in line for promotion and is competent
to fill the position.

He SAVED The DAY
CORRESPONDENT CHARTERS A
HANDCAR AND WINS.
WIRING WAS OUT OF QUESTION
st. Louis Reporter Has to Do Quick
Work Because a Chicago Man
Had Beaten Him.

II used to be a newspaper man my
SELF" said a benign-looking gentleman
at the Butte this morning when he was
asked If he had any news hidden about
him that might be of interest to the
public.
II have no news, but this being just
before Christmas I am reminded of a
little experience 1 had some years ago as
the holidays were approaching. l was
sent down into Southern Illinois to re-
port farmers convention of some kind
for st. Louis paper.
1.-The meeting was regarded as an i'm
portant one by the Chicago and st.
Louis editors and there were a number
of correspondent present to send in the
news of it to their papers.
Did Not Worry.
II thought l was fairly we'll up on
how to get stuff on the wires and did
rot worry much about how I was going
to get along in the little town. l knew
there was only one telegraph operator
there, but I counted that would get at
him before the rest of the fellows came
around and be safe.
1.-The convention lasted until pretty
we'll towards night, and about 10 minutes
before I thought it was going to ad-
journ l left the hall and rushed up to
where the operator had his office.
Imagine my surprise when l reached
the office and found Chicago fellow
ahead of me sitting in the Office reading
his manuscript to the operator. That
was rather an irregular way of doing
business, but l had been beaten by the
Chicago correspondent and it was a
showdown with me to get my matter
to my paper in st. Louis
Operator Was Slow.
II knew the operator was too slow to
ever send more than the one mans stuff
and so there was no use of considering
the possibilities Of getting anything over
the wire from that little town.
Il got hold of a railroad time table
and found that fast train bound for
st. Louis would pass a junction point
about five miles from where I was in
less than an hour. l hustled around and
managed to charter a handcar to take
me to that junction point. l caught the
express train and arrived in ST. Louis
in time to get. my account of the con-
vention into the paper.
II was saved all right and so was my
Chicago friend who got in ahead of me,
but the other fellC VS. from Chicago We're
cut out entirely. The old operator was
man and only one paper in Chicago had
an account of that convention the next
day after it took place.

TRAVEL VERY LIGHT
FIND NO DIFFICULTY
HANDLING THEIR PATRONS.
EXPRESS BUSINESS BOOMING
More Christmas Packages Being Sent
Out This Year Than Last Year
Superintendent Young May
Go to Chile.

Travel on the various railroads with
which Butte is connected is reported
by the agents as being rather light at
present. which fact they attribute to
the desire OF persons to spend the holi-
days at home
A few people are going and coming,
but Butte residents who from force of
habit make it a point to spend Christ
mas elsewhere have nearly all gone.
The number of travellers Of this class
has not been so large this year as in
previous years; why. no one knows,
except the individuals themselves.
A Rushing Business.
Express companies operating over the
different lines of railroads are doing an
immense business; more in fact than
their agents anticipated.
S. r. Graves of the Northern Pacific
express office said today:
In view of the fact that people are
complaining of dull times, our line is
doing splenddly. We are sending out
more packages this year than we were
at this time last year, Notwithstanding
there was no complaint of dullness a
year ago. We keep five wagons going
all the time.
THE volume of business shows plain
spend it for Christmas presents.
"Where do we send packages? Why.
everywhere. Many go to Europe. Our
England shipments are always heavy
at this season of the year and there has
been no dimnution lately.
"All packages bound for foreign
points are brought in about two weeks
before Christmas, which enables us to
get this part Of the shipments out of
the way before the domestic rush be-
gins.
up to date continued Mr.. Graves,
"few Christmas packages for residents
of Butte have been received, but they
will begin to come in about Sunday and
we will then be kept going and coming
until Christmas night, for nearly all
packages for points in Montana are
deposited for shipment the day before
Christmas
Both the Great Northern and Pacific
offices are also crowded with departure
business and will experience rush of
incoming packages about the first of the
week.

NUMBER IS GROWING
STATE INSANE ASYLUM NOW HAS
478 PATIENTS.
AMONG THESE ARE ITO WOMEN
Occupants Of Asylum and State Prison
About Equal in Number-Morton
Mortimer Prayed on the
Train.

Deputy Sheriff Dobson, who took
Morton Mortimer to the state insane
asylum yesterday, states that the
asylum now houses 47S unfortunates.
Out of that number there are 10
women among the patients.
Like the state prison the insane asylum
becomes the referee of greater num-
her of inmates as the population con-
tinues to grow.
In a little while the 500 mark will be
reached by it well as the state prison.
The two institutions keep nearly
abreast as to the number of occupants
they contain. the state prison having
about 45o convicts now.
The number of insane, it will be
seen, only exceeds the number of felons
slightly.
Mortimer, the man taken to the asy-
lum by the officer was released from
there only Is or 20 days ago, and the
asylum authorities were somewhat sur
prised to see him back.
He is the man who ina gines himself to
be the king of the world and who sees
people in the forms of birds.
DR.. Warren of the asylum said that
Mortimer was in good condition when
he was discharged on the 5th instant,
but people who watched the man here
at the Jail are of the opinion that he is
incura bic.
On the way to the asylum he told
the officer that he was king of the sea
and the land and the heavens, of the
earth and the waters under the EARTH
He also prayed continually. Once he
wanted to stop the train and get up and
ride on the roof.

A Missourian Pronounces ON the
Farming Possibilities of
Western Canada.

Just at present considerable inter-
est is being aroused in the fact that a
few new districts (of limited acreage)
are being opened out by the Canadian
Government in Saskatchewan and As
siniboia (Western Canada), and any
information concerning this country
is eagerly sought. Mr.. w. R. Corser,
of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., No. was
a delegate there during last summer,
and writing of his impressions he
says:
II found surprising yields of grain
of all descriptions. One farmer I Wis
tied threshed of ITS acres:
900 bushels of wheat from IS acres.
40 bushels to acre.
600 bushels of barley from 10 acres.
SIS. 900 bushels of oats from 150 acres,
100 bushels to acre.
"The samples were all No. 1.
81 also saw a considerable number of
stock. Swine do well and there is no
disease amongst them. They are q
good source of income to the farmer.

An Old Custom in Cloyne.

I have known two or three old
priests in Cloyne diocese break up
and distribute among the poor girls
of their respective parishes their old
and worn vestments, for the purpose
of being made into saint Patrick's
Crosses" The cross thus made
(from a priests vestment) to people
of simple faith vas an object of ven
Grafton; and I have known many
such forwarded by their owners to
their kindred in America, where they
were doubtless received as welcome
souvenirs of an ancient custom in the
land of their fathers. Not a little
curious is the etiquette of those chill
dren's saint Patrick's Crosses" for
whereas it would be considered effem-
mate of a little boy to wear 'a girls
cross" it would be considered most
unbecoming on the part of the little
miss to don a boys paper cross

The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh.. If a course

spring. MNE% #

These excursions have been the vogue
for two years and the farmbers are de-
lighted with them. They occur dur
ing July, when the results of the ex-
periments are evident and have result
ed in great advantage. President Hill

National bank, had a strange expert
ence, He was returning home about
9 p. m. and he approached his resi-
dence, stopped to scrape the mud from
his shoes. While so doing, he placed
one hand against an electric light pole
and with the other grasped a guy wire.
He received a severe electric shock and
found himself unable to let go, Meth
er was he able to speak, but finally his
knees gave way and he sank to the
ground. In this way the circuit
through his body was broken and he
soon recovered.

Reflections of a spinster,

A perfumed man is as shocking as
a woman in a wig.
The things he does not possess
hold an infinite charm for a man.
A spare man is always called lank
by the women who dislike him.
The wife of a dishonest man is one
of life's unacknowledged heroines.
1t is possible for a man to divorce
a Josephine and not become a Ma
poleon.
1t is a thankless lot to love a man
who is inseparably united with his
business.
There is greater obstinacy among
weak men than there is among che
strong.-Vada Agnew, in Judge.
