TOWERS WANTS THE PROPERTY.
Failed to Come to lime and the EaqIe
Group Passed Into Other Hands.

This spring G. W. Towers, a rep
resentative of f. A. Heinze and other
Butte capitalists, took a $50, 900 OPP
ton on the 0rnbaum & Barnes prop
erty in Ruby gulch, I'm the Judith
mountains, and thereby hangs tale.
The agreement was that four or
more men should be pat to work on
the property not later than August
18th, to work at least twenty days
to the man, and that in default of
such work being done $4,000 should
be deposited in a Lewistown bank to
the order OF the owners of the prop
erty. The bond was to fall due on
January LIST and the $4,000 was to be
deducted from the $4,000 that COM
prised the bond.
The 18th OF August came around,
but neither Heinze's representative
or the $1,000 put In appearance. A
telephone dispatch was sent to G. W.
Towers in Butte, but no satisfactory
result was obtained, aud on the morn
ing Of the 18th the property passed
into the hands Of the Ruby Gold
Mining, Milling & Development Co.
On Saturday morning G. W. Towers
put in appearance and threatened
legal trouble II not allowed to take
possession of the property.
The company in possession is COM
posed OF "sterner stuff than dreams
are made Of and the threats were
wasted on the balmy atmosphere.
Nevertheless, MI. Towers sent four
men to Ruby gulch with instructions
to go to- work on the property.
j. L. Stuart went to Ruby gulch
on Monday morning to adjust mat.
ters and found the men camped a
short distance from the claim, they
having hesitated toforce the paddock
which fastened the mouth Of the tun'
mel.
On Tuesday morning j. L. Stuart
and David Hllger went to the mine
and found the men at work above
the tunnel, on the same lead, and q
second paddock on the mouth OF the
tunnel, with anotice posted warning
trespassers off the property by r. s
Edwards, another Butte man, who
is acting asforemanfo for G. W. Towers
Edwards or Towers not In sight
and the representatives Of the Ruby
Gold Mining, Milling & Development
Co. contented themselves with order
ing the Towers men to quit work
and placing two OF their own men t.
work In another portion Of the mine
This is the situation at present
and II seems as II Mr.. Heinze's repre-
sentatives intend to extend that gen
tleman's field of litigation into thu
hitherto quiet and unrufled mining
world In the vicinity OF Lewistown

TWO STORIES MORE If NECESSARY.
Heavier Timbers and Iron to be Used in
Construction of Power Building
Than at First Planned.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Power Mercantile Co.'S new building
and the foundation IL almost CON-
pleted. Several alterations have been
made since the acceptance of the plans
and the building will be fitted in a
more thorough manner, II possible,
than was at first decided.
The original fifteen windows In the
front OF the second story have been
changed and nine large windows
with a lower sash 60x54 substituted.
Owing to the fact that the city
waterworks will be completed inside
OF a year the original intention of
furnishing the water supply by a
permanent reservoir has been aband.
oned, and all sanitary plumbing and
toilet faucets will be laid with the
intention Of making connections with
the city water mains as soon as they
are In position.
The foundation Of the building ia
particularly solid, concrete piers hav-
ing been placed In position for the
main suppo. ts OF the building to rest
upon. Heavier iron and timbers ol
larger dimensions than was at first
planned will be used for supporting
purposes In order to enable the build
ing to be raised two stories In height
II 1t is found necessary at any future
time.
The sidewalk In front Of the build.
ing will be OF steel overlaid with ce'
ment and will have heavy glass lights
which will assist in lighting up the
basement.
Solid stone cornices will be placed
on the building and the entire 90-ioot
front will be a complete line Of mag
nificent plate glass show windows.

FINE SHOOTING BY IR1sHMEN.
Practice at the Ranges Shows Them
 To Be Dangerous.

Asbury Park Aug 30.-The shooting of the Irish rifiemen yesterday on the Sea Girt ranges was extraordinary enough to make the American marks men open their eyes wide with aston ishment. The Irishmen had been in this country less than twenty hours and were still suffering from the effects of an eightsday seatvoyageswhen. they went to the butts and cracked out bullseyes with remarkable rapidity
 When they had finished their. days practice and were asked how they had made out, one of the team said: ssOnly fair.' There is no doubt that the American team will have to do slime extraordinary shooting to. keep the IrishzAmerican championship on;e this side of the water. James Wilson, who is in command of the Irish rihemen, thought it best to bring the men out yesterday in order that they might get all the practice possible before the day of the big match. week hence; consequently when they went to the 9OO-yard targets they were followed by crowd eager to get line on the wis., itors. The men shot in teams of four
 Each of the rihemen wore a mouse cOlored slouch hat. with a white band, and presented natty appearance.
 The shooting on the 900?yard range was about the best performance ever given at these targets and much cur iOsity was evinced as to what the Irish men would do when they moved back and shot on the 10O0-yard target. Here their showing was equally good. They were quick in firing and paid attention to nothing except the targets. Captain Wilson did not make public any of the scores, but it was evident that he was much pleased with the work of the shooters. both as a team and individ- ually. General Bird ". Spencer, who is ht the head of the Rifle lasesciafjon realizes that the present Irish team is the best that has ever represented the Emerald 1sIe.

Diminutive Jockeys Chief Interest at

Present is in Automobiles.
 Although Tod Sloane went directly to the Hotel Martin un his arrival on the Deutschland yesterday and regis tered from Paris he did not drop into French once in the course of sew eral interviews. The diminutive jock ey does not discuss turf affairs of any kind at present, his chief interest ly- ing. in automobiles. His principal bus mess here at present. is in managing the famous French achaffeur, Henri Fournier, who is tovbegin his career in this country tonight, when he will ride an exhibition race i'll the Madison Square Garden in a machine-or ''car," as Tod prefers to call allit-furnished by the management. None of Fournier's own automobiles has arrived here, but if the machine furnished him tonight suits he will make an attempt to lower the indoor record.
 Sloane prefers not to talk about horses, he says, while he is under the ban of the English Jockey club. He thinks, however, that that body prob ably will permit him to race nextyear. When asked if it was true that he had won $50,000 on the French race tracks he looked non-committal and said, Well, maybe did.'' n

 Terry McGoyern played just five inn ings with the Waterbury team yester- day and in that time he demonstrated the fact that while he is one of the most successful fighters in the world he has a whole lot to learn about the game of baseball. :. He spared four rounds with his protege. Grin Jones, after the sixth tuning and the bout was a clever one. There is not much to be said about the game with Meriden. The Waterbury team played like lot or Holsters or rather a part of the team did They could neither hit the ball nor stop the ones that were hit Ferry has always been a mark for Water bury and in fact for every other team within the past few weeks but Water bury got just three hits and Matthews got two of those. There were six er- rors and those were responsible for most of the scoring done by Meriden. That is all The score and summary:
