Wednesday morning about 2
O'Clock it began raining and contin-
ued with slight interruption till half
past ten. Then there was a let up
till about 5 o'clock in the afternoon
when another shower fell lasting till
six. For some time past it has been
very dry and these rams came just in
time for the fall gardens, the pastur-
age, the CAM and the young rice, to
say nothing Of laying the disagree

plored by shafts, tunnels. and drill holes
to the depth of 400 feet.
How far it will be possible to work the
mine before reachig the heat limit Ii
would be impossible to say, but . rea-
sonable estimate is 1000 feet, but with-
out trespassing upon the future the
proved ore bodies contain values that al
most stagger belief. The mine, to the
depth of 140O feet contains 1856, 0o0, 600
cubic feet of ore, and estimating eleven
cubic feet to the ton, which is liberal
allowance. there are 32,0OO,0O0 tons prac-
tically in sight, which at SIS a ton, which
l am assured rs the average value Of the
ore. represents $500 100000. with more
than half of the available ore body yet
untouched.
These are not fancy figures but repre-
sent the actual production of the prop
erty and can be veried in time. 1t has
frequently been asserted of late years
that Senator Clark has refused SnUON :
900 for the property. OF this l have no
knowledge. but l know how engineers
are treated who come to look at the
property. They are given carte blanche
to take measurements and samples and
examine the books and when they get
through they are ready to make a re
port to their principles which effectually
disposes of their hopes of ever becoming
owners of the United Verde.

CLARK'S UNITED VERDE MINE
The Butte Mans Greatest Copper
Producer in the
World,

A Boston mining engineer, who re-
Gently inspected Senator Clark's United
Verde mine in Arizona, says:
The United Verde has discounted all
my previous ideas of a mine, and when
went through that property and heard
Mr.. Giroux explain its conditions I felt
that the best mining men in the world
could learn something from the United
Verde.
l was told that fifteen years ago the
mine went begging for $4,000, and that
Senator Clark bought it because he
thought he could make mine of it. To-
day it is the estimate of the best en-
gineers in the country that it is not only
the greatest mine in the United States,
but that the next ten greatest mines in
the country would represent but frac-
ton of it's proba BILE value. The price Of
the principle rnetal-copper-may be re-
duced one-half, but still it would be
great mine, as about One-half the value
of the ore is in gold and silver, and as
it carries SIS per ton in all values, tn.

would regard as magnificent.

PETER DEMPSEY IS NOW
Interesting he off cersA Again is
SAID To BE IN WYOMING

Sheriff Furey will start for Evanston to-
night. The description of the man In
custody fits Dempsey to a nicely. If it
is Dempsey, the suspicious of the officers
of this county in regard to the route
taken by him will be verified. 1t has al.
ways been thought that Dempsey and
Schrickengost left Butte together, and
that when the latter was arrested at Dl-
Ion his partner was not far away. II
the Evanston man is Dempsey, he ev:-
IDENTIFY went south as far as Ogden ana
then started east. Evanston is a coat
mining and railroad town on the Union
Pacific railroad and is just the class OF
place in which a fugitive accustomed to
hard work would be likely to stop and
look for something to do.

Juvenile Prisoner Brought Before
Judge BoylevA Quartet Of Of
tenders fine IS Each.

The star performer at Judge Boyle's
early morning matinee today was little
Johnny Rooney, II years of age, ana
dressed in the height of fashion.
Johnny was on the carpet on a charge
preferred by Thomas F. Hickey. The
latter complained that the lad had been
making things lively in the neighbour
hood of East Park street yesterday. The
complainant charged this boy, hardly
out of dresses, with using violent ana
abusive language, disturbance, and sew
eral other things to which "Double-up
Pete" Lofty" Mahoney and the re-
nowned Captain" John Jenkins have
frequently taken exceptions when ar
raigned in police circles.
The boys father was present and en-
tered plea of not guilty for the lad.
His hearing will come up at 3 o'clock
next Tuesday afternoon.
Emma Clifton, Thomas Dee, David
Jones and James Sullivan, each with a
drunkenness charge against them, plead
ed guilty and were requested to put .un
S. apiece as token of respect for the
police court and justice in general.
Frank Shea, vag, was given go days
in the county Jail, with tie pass out OF
town and suspension of judgment for

WHY JONES LEFT THE JAIL
Said He Was Colored Man of Re
nown and the Judge Be-
lieved Him

ZeaouSneSs of one of Buttes police
man almost caused the condemnation to
a term of Imprisonment in the
county jail of a noted character from the
sunny south yesterday afternoon. Judge
Boyle feels elated over the fact that the
case was carefully looked into and Abra-
ham Lincoln Jones, a colored, but dis
tlnguished citizen Of the United States
permitted to depart on his way rejoicing.
The southern darby was taken in while
Wandering about the streets in the east
ern part Of the city and a charge Of va
grancy placed against him.
The man gave his name as Jones and
stated that he did not care to talk with
anyone save the chief of police or the
judge.
The darby stated in police court this
morning that he always worked when
necessity demanded it and hoped that he
always would on such an occasion. but
while he had considerable money and
other valuables about him. namely, $12.75
and stick pin, presumably for tie but
more appropriate for use on a horse
blanket, he is a gentleman and does not
care to waste his time in labor while 1t
can be more advantageously occupied in
travelling. The dusky visitor to Butte in
sisted that he is making tour of the
world and that he never lowered his dig
nifty SO far as to ask for aims or money
upon the streets. "Why, sah,'' said
Jones, my father was a most respect
abla southern gentleman. He was a per-
sonal friend of Abraham Lincoln. and
sab, he frequently dined with the presi-
dent and talked over matters

WANT THE PARADE ABATED
Business Men Complain to the Mayor
That the Little Elephant and
Band Are a Nuisance.

Mayor Davey was visited by Broad
way merchant today regarding the
parading several times day of the ele-
phant and band of the trained animal
show now exhibiting on Broadway near
the Finlen hotel.
The merchant insisted that the ele-
plant and band which march to Main
street and thence back again to their
tent are nuisance of the worst sort,
and he asked Mayor Davey to prevent
a continuance of 1t. He said that it is
almost impossible for the firms on that
block to tie their horses in front Of their
doors without fear Of the elephant and
band frightening them. He said that
the elephant always frightens a number
of horses at each parade, and that the
band simply sets them wild. He con-
tinued: ita
1.-THE Boston & Montana band genor-
ally has quieting effect on the animals,
but the circus band whoops up trouble
in great shape. Not being musician,l
cannot tell the reason for this, but we
all can imagine. Really I have had a
headache since that outfit came to town
and started their continuous perform
ance." q
The band complained of by the express
man belongs to the trained animal show
which came to Butte at the opening of
the street carnival, and has been doing
a lucrative business since that time. 1T
has been the custom for the animal
trainer to lead his show elephant up
Broadway to Main, where the band, con
sistfng of six pieces-sometimes-a a
snare drum, played with one stick, gives
a nopen air concert. The parade COM
planned of then marches back to the
grounds, next the Finlen, amid the
strains Of noise from the band. Several
"speelers" follow the parade and make
| the announcement of the show which is
| about to take place. From noon until II
o'clock at night this performance con-
tinues. and many of the people who are
compelled to spend the days in that
vicinity take to the tall timber when
their days work is done.
