EVENING PAPERS.
inaction.

Indica lions are numerous in the news
paper field pointing to tremendous
advance in the circulation OF evening
papers. In the haste Of modern busl-
ness the demand for news requires that
happenings Of the world be served up
while they are yet fresh and interesting.
This demand and this requirement -
met only by a paper published toward
the close of the day in which the news
occurs. Since the Spanish American war
began there has been no cessation in the
food-tide of popularity of the evening
newspaper. Mighty events have fol-
lowed each other so closely that readers
have tested the relative merits OF morn
ing and evening papers and found that
the first news of the day was printed
in the evening publications In Chicago
the best paying and most successful
paper during the past four years has
been the Evening News. In st. Louis
the Post-Dispatch, an evening paper,
has been going forward by tremendous
strides. The Kansas City STAR another
evening paper, has progressed SO far
that it's net profits are 100000 year.
In San Francisco the Evening Bulletin
has jumped in four years from circu-
lation Of 1900 to 81 900. The Evening
telegraph in Portland, Ore, has risen
to the front rank of coast newspapers.
| In other sections of the country develop
| ments in the newspaper field furnish
| ample proof of the fact that the even
| ing paper is taking first place in the
esteem of the public as an agency fcl
! giving the news. Advertisers have beer
| quick to see this and have not been slow
to appreciate the change and take adj

BUTTt'S SOLID MERITS,

Encouraging reports continue to be re-
ceived as to the results Of development
in the new copper district east Of Butte.
In the valley which separates the Butte
hill from the main range is a deep wash,
V-shaped, which was supposed to be the
limit of the Butte ore channels. pes
ve,opment is exposing the fallacy OF
that supposition. The deeper the east
drifts are run the narrower becomes the
wash, and it is reasonably certain that
at depth Of 1000 feet the ore bodies
will be found to be continuous from the
base Of Anaconda hill eastward to the
mouth of Park canyon and vicinity.
To every man interested in the growth
and permanence Of Butte, to every miner
and business man. TO every man whose
capital is his muscle and his energy, the
results of development in the new dis
trict are of vital Importance. The copper
market may not be always active at high
prices, but whenever the copper mag
mates can make 1t steady and whenever
the industries of the country flourish.
this Old town Of Butte is bound to be at
the front.

BATTING the TURK.

The success met with in the French
expedition against Turkey appears to
have solved a problem which has puz-
zled statesmen for many year. The
action taken by France was not new
procedure. by any means. The Sultan is
such an outrageously bad debtor tnat
show of military force is generally nee
essary in order to receive the courtesles
customary to relations between nations.
It is not the purpose of the Turk to al
low matters to come to crisis, however.
When it is evident that a refusal to pay
indemnity or perform the usual acts OF
courtesy between nations Will result IN
a bombardment Of the coast cities. the
national debts are generally paid. The
indemnity from Turkey without sending
a squadron of war vessels to lombard
it's chief port has never ceased to be
theme for admiring comment in diplo-
matte circles. In 1897 difficulty arose
between Austria and Turkey. The
Vienna government asked for satisfac-
ton and was met with the usual inso-
lence. 4 squadron was sent to Marslna,
and the Sultan was allowed until noon
the day following the arrival of the fleet
to grant the satisfaction asked for. At
midnight the Turk gave notice that Aus
trials demands would be met, and the In
cident closed without hostilities. The
reputation OF Turkey is so utterly bad
among the nations with which diplomatic
relations are sustained that 1t is pre-
dicted the policy Of collecting bills with
a fleet of battleships will be adopted gen.
orally by the countries which have met
annoyance from the Sultan's persistent
inactiOn.

MINERAL EXHIBITS At ST. LOUIS.

According to announcements made OF
the plans of the Louisiana Purchase
Centennial exposition, the building de-
voted to mines and mining will be one
of the most elegant and imposing in the
whole array Of structures. 1t will be
spacious enough to contain eXhlplts
from every quarter OF the globe, and
will be a conspicuous part of group of
buildings designed to make an archi-
tectural display that Will give mines
and mining a prominent place in the
exposition. The published plans indi-
cate that the section of the exposition
devoted to minerals will be so arranged
that countries having mineral exhibits
may display them to the best possible
advantage. In fact, the feature of the
exposition which will attract the great
est attention will be the portion devoted
to the minerals of the world. SO great a
factor in the development Of new coun-
tries has mining become, and so largely
does this industry enter into the founda-
ton of the worlds commerce that the
exposition management has decided tc
give it place of honor. 1t is doubtful
if a country having mineral resources te
| exploit will ever again secure such ar
| opportunity to make them known. Mo2'
! tanas mines have become theme O
Worldwide interest, and at the exposi
| ton in 1903 reports of the mineral re
sources of this state can be amply CON
| firmed by an exhibit that will exec
! any similar display.

bu. the people are disposed to doubt the
wisdom of calling an extra session OF
the legislature to arrange for the dis
play, and certainly opposed to large
appropriation of money not yet collected
in order to square the account. Every
dollar in the state treasury at present is
needed to meet the current expenses of
the state until the next tax levy shall
be collected. BY that time no man
knows what conditions may confront
the people. If prosperity continues it
will be possible to spare the money:
but should a period of dullness intervene

dollar to be covered into the treasury

state government and state institutions

The latitude of Bulgaria is about tho

walton of the mountains is such 'has
their peaks are clothed in perpetual
snow. The climatic dangers surround
ing the captured missionary are not
greater. however, than the peril OF death
at the hands Of her captors. In any
event. unless speedy means are taken
for her relief, the fate Of Miss Stone Is
scaled. The prospects for her release
are growing discouragingly darker.

Professor Agassiz. president of the

arrived in Butte on Saturday. His mis-
sion, though doubtless a most important
one, is not disclosed. The Boston papers
are filled with reports that his company
has sold control to the men who are
carrying the copper surplus, and that
the figure Is $500 per share. The report
is emphatically denied, yet newspaper
readers will come to their own conclu.

Tinto Of Spain has joined the happy
family Of copper producers, and whis-
