THANK THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Women Of the Federated Clubs Pleased
With Law and Order Policy.

The women of the Federated clubs of
the city of Butte are straining every
nerve to wipe out one of the plague spots
of the municipality, and in the fight
against the ''red light" district, which is
regarded as far too near the central por-
ton of the city, have the backing Of
almost every business man and business
house, as well as all the lovers of law
and order.
. The stand the Inter Mountain has taken
upon the matter has met with the hearty
approval of the various clubs. and the
following letter. signed by a committee
f. of ladies. has been sent to this paper:
Inter Mountain: It is with much
qualification. warmest approval, and an
increased hope Of bringing about most
desirable changes for the better in Butte
that the women of the Federated clubs
of this city read the Inter Mountains

ton in favor Of removing what is styled
the "red light district" to a less fire.

TOO many mothers have learned within
the past few years the great reason they
had to deplore the situation of that dis

children. The terrible accounts of indi-
vidual experience there of our youth

stronger to resist: the details of sights

even at blocks distance. and the fact
that the city government, through its
police. allows such absolute defiance of
the city's laws, as we'll as of the laws of
civilization and common decency-all
these things have been repeatedly can.
vassed and condemned, in and out of
clubs. by earnest, thinking Christian
women.
Now is the time such wrongs should
be righted, such exhibitions and tlisre>

the denizens Of the bad lands made to
live In less central location.

for stringent measures of regulation. of

to existing laws and a recognition of
those aspirations that animate the breast
of every good man and woman that their
children may reach higher attainments
in ENTHUSIASTICALLY, morally, spiritually
than themselves, is not at all surpris-
ing to the club women. but 1t is none the
less welcome

Sent to the Poorhouse.

]. G. Cole. a printer once well-known
among the fraternity, was yesterday
taken to the poor farm suffering from
erysipelas. Cole is horrible example
of the effects of the morphine habit. He
has been a morphine fiend for years, and
the condition he Is in should be warn
ing to those who are aware of his con-
dition. His wife. with whom he lived in
Mahoney alley, is also addicted to the
drug, and she will be taken to the poor
house also. in all probability, as she has
no means. Cole was lodged at the
county Jail, where he made himself
useful, for a month or SO lately. -

WINCKE NOT GUILTY.
He Was Charged With Having Re-
moved Mortgaged Goods.

AAAOvSO 4xAOAI6dBSu OOOUS.
In Judge Olsen's court at South Butte
yesterday Gus Wincke was tried on a
charge Of removing mortgaged property
without the consent of the mortgage and
found not guilty. ~
Morris Binnard was the complainant.
He alleged that he had a mortgage on a
stock of liquors and cigars which Wincke
had in a saloon in Kemper avenue, and
that on the 18th of September the defend
ant had moved portion of the stock to
his residence. where some of it was found
few days later. -
Wincke denied the allegation, adding
that the stock found in his house was his
private property, on which there was no
mortgage. ,,is
In the stock were some cigars which
Wincke said had been returned to the
wholesaler from whom he had bought
them, as they had not been paid for, and
the mortgage therefore did not cover
them.
AS to the liquor, he said he knew MOTH
ing, as he had locked the saloon and
turned the key over to the owner Of the
place.

BLAZE IN PAPER BASKET.
Smoke in the owsley Block Causes
Excitement.

There was excitement in the streets
midnight last night over a report that
the Owsley block was on fire.
The department responded to a still

confined to basket Of waste paper.
The third floor of the building was
filled with smoke, and but for the prompt
action of the f1remen disastrous fire
might have resulted.

Ely ~. and M. Co.

While the copper showing in the new
workings in the Ely Mining & Milling
Companys property was regarded as
excellent ten days ago, the result OF
this weeks development has doubled
the confidence already felt in that
property, and some of the very best
copper ore yet found in the district is
now to be seen in the Ely Company IS

tends across the canyon and through
the property of the Ely Mining and
Milling Company is no longer ques-
toned in this camp, and the percent
age of values ON the north side prom
ises to at least equal the old "belt."
When the company's mill resumes
operations next Spring it will be With
the assurance that its output OF gold
will be supplemented later by returns
from the smelter.

THB COMING SHELTERS.
Where viii They Be Erected Is
Now the Important Question.

NOW thC htupOFtduL XuSStiou.
Now that it has been decided to erect
at least one big smelter at Ely within
the present year the question as to
where it will be located is being con-
sidered by the men whose money will
be invested in the enterprise.
AS water is one of the essentials
necessary for operating smelter a
location east of the Chainman's elec-
trio power house is favored as Offering
the best facilities, provided the water
can be secured; but it is held that 1t
is not impossible to pipe water
across the country south of town to
Copper Flat and the sites beyond.
The advantage to Ely of having the
smelters to the east OF town is apparent
TO all. as it would tend to concentrate
the business in this particular section
and insure the building up Of a pros
porous city on the present townsite.
Unless unforeseen obstacles are met
with it is altogether probable site for
the first smelter will be secured within
the next few weeks, and 1t is to be
hoped that no hindrance will be placed
in the way of the new enterprise.

The chairman.

On Monday last the visitors went
through the underground work.
ings of the Chairman, accompanied
by General Manager w. N. McGill OF
the Mckinley company, E. j. Farley,
who is regarded as the most competent
mining expert who has yet visited the
camp, and the editor of the NEWS,
and saw what had been accomplished
in the development Of the property
since their last visit.
The first stop was made at the 100
foot level, which Foreman Fred Butler
has now connected with the old Lane
workings, from which very rich ore
was taken during the Lane regime.
The new drift is all in ore for adistance
of about 200 feet, and the actual dimen
sions of the ore body cad only be esti-
mated. Even the directors, who were
among those who sampled the mine-
previous TO its purchase and have con-
sidered themselves familiar with the
value of She property, were surprised
at the showing made and their faith in
the mine was increased by the re-
suit of the days observations.
Passing through the west drift,
which, by the way, is now securely
timbered, the party examined the cop
per deposits which are now being
opened up, and it was here Mr.. Farley
saw the evidences he has been looking
for to prove the worth of the district
as copper camp.
After Mr.. Farley had carefully ex-
amined the ledge matter and the for
nation on all sides, he was asked what
he thought of the deposit. His reply
was: Il do not THINK anything about
it. KNOW with absolute certainty
that this is the apex of big body OF
copper, the permanency of which can
not be questioned, and after having ex'
amined every section Of the district
find here the evidence which removes
the last doubt from my mind as to the
permanency of the copper deposits ol
this camp
While admitting that the size OF the
gold ore bodies are remarkable for
their size and not questioning the value:
they contain, Mr.. Farley classes the
Chairman as a copper mine and an ex'
ceedingly good one at that.
The new mill is now enclosed and {
considerable portion OF the machinery
in place. The office building and labor
atory is also enclosed, and a cut OF the
plant, accompanied by description o.
the premises, will appear in the NEWS
on December q or 2S. All those desir
ing extra copies of the paper are re-
quested to send in their orders at once
in order that we may be prepared tc
supply the demand.

A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Dix w. Smith Severely Injured
on His Way from Eureka.

on His Way from Eureka.
Dix W. Smith, secretary of the
Chairman and Mckinley Mining CON-
panies, and Fred c. Richmond of the
Salt Lake Hardware Company arrived
here shortly before the NEWS went to
press on Wednesday evening, having
been more than fifty hours on the
road.
While coming down this side OF Pinto
Summit the four horses got beyond
the drivers control and dashed wildly
down the incline. When he saw there
was no hope of checking the speed of
the animals Mr.. Smith jumped from
the vehicle just In time to avoid being
thrown out with his companions, the
wagon pole dropping Immediately after
ward and the convey nee was over
turned.
Mr.. Smith was badly bruised and
shaken up and, it is feared, will be con-
fined to his bed for few days, but no
bones are broken and no serious con-
sequences will follow the accident.
The party remained at the Eighteen
Mile House Monday night, where
fortunately party of Specialists were
stopping. After attending to Mr..
Smiths injuries he engaged them to
accompany him to Mrs. Shekels' place
where DIR. Richardson met him and
returned wit h him to Ely.
Mr.. Richmond is none the worse
for his experience.

No Longer a Doubt as to Perma-
necy of Eiy's Copper De-
posits.
The 30O-Foot Shaft at Copper
Has Effectually Settled the
Matter.
And Ely Is Certain TO Become the
Largest Copper Camp in the
World.

At depth of 300 feet the shaft in the
Star mine at Copper Flat has removed
the last doubt as to the Permanency OF
the copper deposits in this camp, and
henceforth the work of development in
the several properties on the mineral
zone will be prosecuted with feeling
of absolute certainty on the part OF
the companies and individuals owning
the ground.
During the months which have been
devoted to the opening up of this prop
erty, Joseph Bray, the manager, has
been the most conservative OF men,
and the only infor nation 1t has been
possible to get from him has been that
it was the intention of his company to
sink 1000 feet or more If necessary, to
satisfy themselves as to whether or not
the ore went down.
This week, however, the most enthu-
siasGic man in the camp is Mr.. Bray,
and he states emphatically that the
last doubt has been removed, and that
at 800 feet he has encountered not only
the sulphides of copper which he has
been looking for, but the formation
furnishes proof positive that the cop
per deposits have come from below.
Covering an area OF nearly three
quarters OF mile in width at Copper
Flat there is a surface showing of copper
that is simply astonishing, and all min
ing men who have examined the spot
have agreed that If it went down it
would make this district the greatest
producer of the red metal in the world
The ore from the lower level now on
the dump speaks louder than words
can tell of what vast stores OF mineral
wealth lie hidden underneath From
the 300 foot level two crosscuts and two
drifts will be run before sinking further,
aud, in order to carry on the work with
all possible speed, from twelve to eight
cen men will be added to the force now
employed. In addition to this a new
three-compartment shaft will be COM
menced at once and sunk as rapidly as
possible to handle the output OF the
mine. Other improvements will follow
and Mulford Martin who is practically
the sole owner of these valuable prop
critics, has given orders that no expense
be spared in putting them in the very
best condition possible for the system
attic handling of the ores.
This means that Ely will have al
least one smelter within year and
others will follow as the properties now
being developed reach the proper stage
And, it may be added, the work of de-
velopment in these properties will be
pushed with even greater energy than
before. now that it is certain big bodies
of high-grade ore will be encountered
when the proper depth is reached.
simultaneously with the tapping OF
the big sulphide bearing ores at Cop
per Flat water gushed forth and since
that time steady stream has been
pouring into the shaft, but the big
pumps hanole it without difficulty and
no trouble is anticipated from that

NBvADA's COMING BATTLE.

The Winnemuoca Silver State an
nounces that the Young men OF Nevada
intend to take hand in politics nexl

National issues, the issue they will make

how 1t happened that "the young men
OF Nevada" came to agree upon plan
Of campaign and constituted the Silver
State their mouthpiece to herald their
challenge to a listening world is not
explained, but the announcement which
follows that these same ''young men
propose TO ''see that young man
represents Nevada in the Lower
House." throws little light on the
interesting subject.
II will be sad to see "the young men

Lucky Sam Davis.

A Chicago dispatch dated November
81 brings the following information:
A letter received by friends to-day from
Sam Davis, Controller of Nevada,
written at Carson, New, conveyed the
information that Nanny Pleasant, "
an eccentric colored character, well
known in San Francisco, had given
Davis a deed to $50, 900 worth of prop
erty in San Francisco, and put him in
her will for as much more. He had
known her for years, but never sus-
pected her wealth. In fact, he had
given her money for food when she ap-
peared to need it very much. She is
now 81 and the other day asked Davis
to put her on the right car, as she
wished to go down town. He did more,
and accompanied her on her errand.
She joked him about his "beauingn

brought a lawyer. When the legal
consultation ended she handed Davis
