the Board, In the regular course OF
meanwhile the traction ordinance
would probably be passed by Council.
Mr.. w. A. Wilson thought 1t was a
case where the Board ought to spend a
little money itself to get a survey Of
the locality. and see just what was
what, and Mr.. Hook added that he
wanted the Panhandle Traction Com
pany to get a franchise, but at the
same time he felt sure the interests OF
the city and Of the public should be
~safeguarded.
The president. answering Mr.. Wilson,
said he thought surveys and estimates
of the proposed work were In existence.
He suggested a call for a special meet
ing OF the Board. as he thought eucn
important matters should be fully dis
cussed. He said he would call a special
meeting, IL a date could be agreed upon.
Mr.. ]. G. Brady accordingly moved
that the Board adjourn to meet next
Monday evening at eight o'clock for
this especial purpose. and after some
discussion this was adopted. with The
understanding that everybody present
should hustle to get out a large attend
ance and with the additional request
that the newspapers call attention to
the matter.

A Pullman

ON
GRAPE NUTS.
See Below.


I'm the morning, when you don't
nave very much of an appetite, just fill
your coffee cup about one-third full of
Grape-Nuts, then fill up with hot cof-
Zee, sweeten to taste, stir well and let
settle. Now try your coffee. Why, man,
II will make your hair curl. After
drinking your coffee, add a little more
sugar and eat your Grap-Nuts with a
SPOON, and my word for it you will feel
IKE a fighting cock until dinner time.
IL You never have. and want something
good, try it once"
The above is from a Pullman Palace
Gar man who starts out by saying that
,Grags-Nuts are fine with cream, but
let me tell you what to do when the old
COW goes dry" We would further sug-
gest that persons who have trouble In
dlgesting coffee, use Postum Food Cof-
lee for the morning meal and try the
Grape-Nuts with 1t instead of with Or
binary coffee.
Both Grape-Nuts and Postum contain
certain elements that are Of great value
IN rebuilding the body.

Iof curious people who wanted tc
know But they did not Then a re-
port was spread that Jim Ledtord was
crazy He did not care for that as
long as they did not lock him ZIP. The
moment he had his tanks up, he went
around Butte ard bought up all the
old scrap iron and tin cans he could
find. He engaged a lot of stree urch-
ms and made a bargain with them to
collect old tin cans for him out of the
alleys and dumps.
When he had big stock on hand he
filed up those tanks with tin cans,

less at the mine. Then he constructed
lot of wooden troughs. He then turn

ani people began to catch on to his
scheme. and maybe the mine owners
and Old miners did not kick themselves.
At the end of the first month every
body waited anXiously for a report of
the cleanup; it Melted Ledford some
thing over $4,000, and it averaged $210
per ton. Then Ledford put uo better
tanks and he kept them filled all the
time. The copper solution was SO strong

|. After that first month all Ledford
did was to collect scrap iron and cans.
and he cleared $4,000 per month after
the first month. AS he had contracted
for the iron and other stuff at s. per
liton it was easy. He paid his royalty
to the Anaconda company outside of
the $4,000. which was net He paid up
his debts first Of all. At one time some
of the Anaconda people started to use
some of the water but Jim insisted
on his rights and stopped them He had
a monopoly of Anaconda water, and of

| From time to time he tried mining
! as side issue, but he never was lucky.
| AT the end of two years he had ac-
cumulated over $1,000 in hard cash.
and yearning for the green fields of
Tennessee overpowered him. His lease
ran out about that time and he went
back to his native state. He bought a

Staked every one of them at some time
or another And he never got color out

when any one attempted to ridicule this

right here in Butte, and out of the
ground. too. And he did.
Finally he arrived at stage when HI
did not have a cent left or any credit

go from one to the other to see how
things were going. One morning he wen

Good is it," asked the lucky man.
What do YOU suppose it is worth. And
what is it?'
It's something that will fix you all
right. 1t is precipitate of copper and re-
markably pure. 1t is worth from $225
per ton up.
Repressing an inclination to stand on
his: head or give vent to some equally
wild expression of joy, Ledford started to
leave but the assayer detained him. try
ing to get him to promise to let him in
on the good thing, at least tell
him the location, but Ledford knew
he had a good thing, and although
he had no definite plan of action
he fully realized that in the little
handful of dull brown dust was the
fortune he had declared he would take
out of the mines of Butte. So he de-
ciined to take anyone into his conf
dence. He went down to his room and
put in the balance of the afternoon and
night in doing some hard thinking.
Then, having matured his plans, he
went peacefully to bed.
The next morning bright and early
he went up to the Anaconda and opened
negotiations with the superintendent,
Jack O'Neill. He asked for a lease of
the water pumped from the Anaconda
group, every drop of it. The superln-
tendent tried to josh him and asked
him when he would open his laundry.
Never you mind about the laundry
replied jim. You just draw up lease
and We'll sign it
The superintendent reflected a mo-
ment and then tried to pu:np Jim, but
Ledford told him he wanted to use the
| water in experimenting. Finally he
| told Ledford he could have a lease. Il

Ledford, overjoyed at getting 1t SO
cheap. Il may make a big thing. and
l may go broke, though how I can be
any worse off I'd like to know. I'll
start in sOon." And so the bargain was
made and the lease signed.
The first thing Jim did was to build
some crude tanks six feet square and
ihree feet deep. and curious looking
things they We're. Just as is the case

ter from the Anaconda then was very
strong solution of copper and sulphur,
for the reason that most of it had been
used in extinsuishing the fires in the
different drifts. Instead of sending up
the water diamond drill holes had been
J., red from the upper workings into the
burning portions of the mine and then
when the water had done its work it
was pumped out. The entrance to the
til fits was damned up SO the water
would not flood the rest of the mine. The
only trouble was, that as fast as the
fire was put out in one drift it promptly
and with disheartening regularity broke
out in another. And so strong was the
mineral that the machinery used in
pumping was destroyed by the action
OF the acids in very little time. All the
pumps were rusted in a few days, and
SO all the pipes We're lined with lead. as
most of them are now. This ressts the
action of the sulphurc acid.
Ledford watched the water pouring out
but it did not chase away the blues.
and he started back down the hill to the
city. While he was walking along he
stumbled against an old tin can over
! which there was a stream of water from
the mine running along. To his surprise
| instead of any resistance. the can crum-
bled into dust beneath his feet. and a
peculiar looking kind of brown dust 1t
was, too. He stopped and picked up a
handful of the dust and then saw that
a portion of the can remained solid,
enough of it To show that it was the ac-
| ton of the water which had reduced the
most of it to dust. He examined the
| dust in his hand curiously. 1t was heavy.
