A New Butte.

If the prospects east of Butte, in the
ds every reason to suppose they will,
there will be in the early future dozen
big. prosperous and independent corr
porations organized to do business in
that direction. There will be smelters
erected on the banks of the Big Hole.
There will be railroad extensions on all
lines. The population will increase as
the field of employment shall expand.
The pay-rolls will swell. Instead of one
million a month, there will be a dis
bursement largely in excess of that
amount for wages. The business men
will lay in heavier stocks, in prepara-
ton for larger trade. The real estate
owners will feel encouraged to make
further investments and put up build
ings that will be credit to the city and
a source of pride to it's people.
All these things will come to pass be-
cause of Buttes newly discovered riches.
Diamond drills must have been busy in all
directions under the flat during many
months past, for men like Franklin Far
rell are not investing millions in mining
ground without knowing what they are
buying, nor is Butte & Boston stock
quoted at Sis without plenty of ore in
the lower workings and far beyond the
limits of the old claims. OF course, the
measure Of prosperity will depend to a
great extent on copper quotations and
on the success Of what ignorant demo-
cratic organs call the horrible copper
trust in their warfare with their own
bread and butter, but if the market can
be maintained and consumption con-
tinues steady, Butte will experience a
season Of prosperity which should JUS

thusiastic.

United States in the markets of the
Orient might imbibe useful lesson from
Mr.. Story's achievement; but whether
they do or not the people will not fall

transaction and realize what new

west in the way of better prices for their
surplus products. The democratic organs

Rossland, the big mining camp on the
other side of the boundary, is in a bad
way. Some of it's mines are among the
richest in the world, but they are nearly
all closed because of labor troubles and
so the owners get no profits and the
workmen get no wages 1t seems to
be a test of endurance between them.
The dispute arose at the smelter, which
is at North Port on this SIDE of the line,
where the employees demanded the re-
moval of a foreman. The company de-
clined to make any change and en-
phasized it's refusal by closing down, not
only the smelter but the LIE Roi mine
which supplied it with ore. For several
months the waiting contest has gone on
without sign of concessions on either
side and very much to the injury of the
people of Rossland and their business in
terests. That the end may soon come
and the right triumph is the wish of
every friend of the mining industry.

houses of Chicago, at the Thornton this
morning. "Gov. George K. Nash is a
strong, able man, one who has been tried
and found safe, and believe he will be
elected by a greater majority than he
had two years ago. His stand on the
Jeffries-Ruhlin fight, when he stood off
the strongest influences to allow the fight
to go on, stamps him as every inch
man. He only enforced the law as he
found it, and he did it in way that

thoughtful citizen, whether he does or
does not care to see a mill between two
celebrities. He stands for law, and the
people want more of him: and l believe
that no matter who the opposition put up
against him, he will win.
The talk of some of the western pa

Copper Distribution.

In the great copper mining operations
of the future in all parts Of the world
the men of the Rocky mountain states
propose to play a leading hand Their
quick intelligence tells them how i'm
portant a part copper will play in the
industrial world; that twill be the great
metal of the future, and that the l.
vance of civilization itself will be largely
dependent on it's general use. Electrical
machinery and all enterprises for which
electricity will supply the power will
create a constantly increasing demand
for copper. All over the world, wherever
the electric fluid may be utilized for the
promotion of the problems of science,
art and industry. copper will be one Of
the essential products, and thus there
will be no limit to the coming demand
and consumption. though there may and
will be periods of dullness from over
production or war or strikes or other
causes.

UNRULY CAYUSE CAUSES
WRECK OF THREE BUGGlES
A Lively Three Ring Circus Perform
ance Given on West Granite
" Street

William Nipgen, a contractor, owns a
meek eyed but fiery cream colored pony,
which has unaccountable notions. One
of them took possession yesterday, when
Mr.. Nipgen was out for ride on West
Granite street. The notion was that of
climbing into the rear of a buggy that
was being driven along the street ahead
of him. The animal made the attempt
with such good success that his first
plunge landed him up beside the driver
Naturally startled by this interruption
of his reVery, he lost control of his own
horse to some extent. and then ensued
a monkey and parrot time, The unwel-
come visitor kept his place after fash
ion, gravitating down between the wheels
of the vehicle during the run that en-
sued. Nipgen was thrown from the sad
die, but kept his hold on the reins and
was on hand when the unruly caval-
cade stopped.
Finally a wrench was secured from a
passing driver, who stopped his horse
to help extricate the horse who would
take a ride The wheels of the buggy
We're removed. and the horse partly
gotten free, when his perversity took a
new tack, and he began kicking. He
smashed the buggy with his heels, and
the noise started not only the horse
hitched to the buggy, but the team of
the man who had volunteered to help in
the extrication. and then began pan
demonium of heels. whirling wheels, a
grabbing for lines, and regular three
ring circus. all three of the animals be-
coming frantic with fear as they work.
/ ed themselves up to higher flights of
frenzy When the matter was finally
called off through the partial exhaustion
of the horses. there was a select lot of
high priced kindling where there had
been two fine buggies: three sore and
Disguised horsemen. and three horses
that would have died violent deaths If
looks could have killed. There was also
a good audience that had seen more fun
in minute than first class show would
put on the stage in whole evening.

Butte'S Big Meeting.

Tomorrow the Butte racing season viii
management is capable and popular, the
track and buildings in good condition
and the class and number Of the horses
better than ever before. The fact that
of reputable business men, and that the
meeting will be conducted without fear
or favoritism and wholly as business
enterprise, will tend to establish pub ic
confidence and increase the attendance.

bet on horse races except for pleasure.
If he can afford to lose and no one else
suffers when he loses, he is not open to

necessaries and comforts of life in a wild
scramble for 10 to I shots, only the man
who cannot afford to lose, who should
be restricted in his plunges. For the
average man, however, who loves horses
and delights in horse racing, and who
likes to back his judgment on the track,
a season Of legitimate sport proves a
pleasure and not an evil. The fact, toc,
that the management, in Difference to
public sentiment, has decided this year
to exclude women from the betting ring,
has met with general approval
Weather permitting, the meeting
should prove a success.

WEATHER-BEATEN BOX
A MENACE TO CLOTHING
Relic at Granite and Wyoming Streets
That Has Long Been an
Evesore.

At the southwest corner of Granite and
wyoming streets there exists curl
osity in the shape OF gigantic Wooueh
box, that has been maintained there by
the city and county authorities for many
wears. 1t is not always in the same po-
sition. Before the paving OF the streets
it was allowed to stand upon the side
walk. an Irresistible temptation to the
bill poster, and far beneath it's outer
surface of paste and bills, may be seen
the announcement of the first appearance
of Sells Brothers circus
For time out of mind pedestrians have
walked around it, and lodged it, and
sometimes collided with it, Corroded>
and twisted protruding nails have torn
trousers and dresses. and called profani-
ty to reluctant lips, and destroyed ami
able tampers at afternoon teas. Improve
ments of the city have grown up around
it, and since the paving of the streets it
has occupied diagonal position far into
the street, where buggies and wagons
have been driven around it. runaway
teams have avoided it. and the street
sprinkler has sDrinkled around it, and
the street sweeper has swept around it
for three hundred and sixty-flvs days
every year.
ton might reveal beneath it's dirt in
crusted, cracked and SCARED exterior,
the ancient hieroglyphics of prehistoric
man. Some citizens have alleged that
Arson Ford, now long since gathered

postoffice: others that Captain Shepherd
! kept in it his petitions for subscription
for the erection of flag poles in days gone
by; that it was once the property of the
street railway, and that even the city
of Butte IS the owner of it.
Nobody owns it, Nobody claims it.
Nobody knows to whom it belongs, or for
what purpse it is: allowed to remain. a
land mark in a thriving city; but every
body, including the mayors of Butte. the
city officers, past ana cresent, persevere
in maintaining it in it's present position
