SECRET OF WEALTH IS HID.
Man Who Made Rich Find in the
Snowy Mountains Won't Re-
veal the Place.

Helena, Aug. 13.-"The whole country
went tot the mountains is the way
j. E. Lane, of Harlowtown, who is at
the Windsor house. comments on the
stampede resulting from the announce
nent that wonderfully rich copper and
gold discoveries had been made in the
Big Snowy mountains. But nobody
seems yet to know much about the real
conditions he continued.
Ayers, the man who located the
properties, is not letting anybody know
about their location. He tried to keep
the whole thing quiet, but it became
known. When he was asked about the
assays he made in Butte he would not
give details, saying simply that they
were good enough. That was sufficient
TO start people out.
1T was Aug. 3 when Ayers got his
assays. The news spread quickly. and
every man who could possibly get away
made for the mountains. Very few had
any idea where they were going, and
40 not know of any who succeeded in
finding good indications. They We're
still out in the hills when I left, but
I suppose many have returned by this
time.
"All of the men in the country about
the end Of the Montana railroad struck
the trail for the mountains. Harvest
hands and railroad laborers joined in
the rush. Practically all of the men in
the towns left Immediately upon the
announcement Of the finds. They
spread all through the hills, but it is
doubtful whether or not they will find
anything.
when Ayers got his assays the story
strated that the samples he had tested
showed lots of copper and plenty of
gold. Just what they did show nobody
knows. Ayers himself admitted that he
lad made a find, but could not, or
would not tell where the properties
We're located. Many people believe that
he tried to throw them off in giving di-
rections, such as they We're.
Charles Ayers, a brother of the find
er, was a barber in Harlowtown. He
has gone to the mountains. as has an
other brother, who was working as a
rancher and cowboy in that part of the
state. Several friends of the Ayers
brothers have also gone into the hills.
The people believe that Ayers is fixing
his brothers and his and their friends
before letting anybody else know where
tis prospects are located.
For a number of years Ayers has
been working in that section of the
country as rancher. He has been
EmOng the mountains good deal.
When he found the surface indications
OF good mineral ground he kept it quiet
until he got his assays. In some man
ner it became known. and then he ad-
n'itted that he had found something.

Controller Coler. at his home, No 244 Han

ures as given out in the statement issued by
persons connected with the Republican County
Committee were, so far he could see. abso-
lutely correct. and had evidently been taken
surreptitiously from his office, from a sheet
which he had prepared and intended to give out
later himself.
It was taken prematurely," added Mr.. Coler.
and I haven't any idea how it got out. III
stand by the figures. however. The deductions
are all wrong. however
The Dock Department has always been run
from a bond account. and the salaries of the
department are paid from il. That's according
TO law, however. and the custom under
Mayor Strong's administration. There are no
secret bond accounts, and all our books are open
to inspection Every salary paid is strictly in
accordance with law
of course it stands to reason that there
should be yearly increase of employees IN a
city growing rapidly as is New-YOrk. If they
try 10 use those salary figures as Republican
campaign material it will prove a boomerang,
as did the Carnegie letter"
