REAL ESTATE CASE :! s.
ORDER DENYING RECEIvEHSH4R
IN REFRIGERATION SUIT. ~
RICH PROPERTY IS CONCERNED
Evidence Shows That Parties to Action
Own Seven Hundred Lots and
Twelve Thousand Dollars in
Good Accounts.

The long-drawn out hearing In the
real estate case in Judge Clancy's
court, in which D. E. Kenyon sued John
o. Cannon and others for an accounting.
came to an end yesterday evening. and
Judge Clancy refused to grant Kenyon's
prayer for a receiver to take charge of
the property at issue.
Kenyon and Cannon are joint owners
in 700 lots in the South Park addition of
Butte, and were conducting a real estate
business in the sale of the lots.
Cannon was trustee for the property.
He denied Kenyon access to the books
of accounts, and Kenyon brought the
suit.
The order denying the receivership was
a victory, on it's face, for the defendants,
but the suit for an accounting is still
pending and the evidence given at the
hearing Just over revealed to Kenyon
the condition of the property and what
its value is at present
His interest is third, and he calims
to have put $4,000 in the business.
The testimony showed that there are
200 lots and $4,000 in good accounts in
the trusteeship, and, as Cannon stated
on the witness stand that he would con-
vey third of the property to Kenyon
to get rid Of him, the latter is in fair
way to get value for the money he in
vested.

Daniel Mcdonald. president of the
Western Labor union. is in Colorado In
the interest of organized labor. He is
making Denver his headquarters.
Since his arrival there he has or
ganized several labor unions and will
bring the workingmen together in other
parts of the state.
According to rumors from the Cen
tennial state, matters nj labor circles
there are not entirely harmonious.
Some Bitter Feeling.
It is reported that there is some ac-
rimonious feeling between the Western
Labor union and the American Fedora
ton Of Labor
Their Denver differences, 1t Is alleged,
are of long standing.
It appears that the American Fedora
ton of Labor has control of the Trades
Council of Denver on the membership
majority proposition, but an old rule
which provides that no action of the
council is binding unless adopted by a
two-thirds vote enables the minority 10

union organized the expressmen, mill
workers, glass blowers and restaurant
employees CT Denver.
Question Comes up.
Last Sunday delegates from these
bodies attempted to participate In the
proceedings of the Trades Council. but
a question arose as to their right to sit
with the body.
The majority of the council favored
their admission, but the federation party
insisted upon enforcing the two-thlrds
vote rule and thus prevented the seat
ing of the delegates.
Want Gregory Law Re-enacted.
The various labor bodies of Silver
Bow county are having their members
sign a memorial to congress asking for
a revival Of the Geary law restricting
Chinese and Japanese immigration to
this country.
There are several copies of the docu-
ment and each union has one in re-
lation to the Chinese and another COW
ering the Japanese question.
The Chinese exclusion act will ex-
pire early next May and labor unions
of this country fear that unless the
Geary law or some other law just as
effective is enacted between now ana
then China will dump its highbinders
into this country at an enormous rate.

LEAD IN THE COEUR D'ALENES
Comments of the Mining and Scientific
Press on It's Production and
Treatment,

The Occur d'Alene Mining Journal, dis
oussing optimistically the remarkably
profitable lead-silver mining of last year
and this year in the Occur dAlene dis
trict of Idaho, says: 1T is fact known
to keen students of the lead industry
that the trust is preparing to suspend
mining in the lead-zinc districts 1t con-
trolls in Missouri and to force the low
grade lead mines of Colorado and Utah
into a long, if not perpetual silence.
The optimistic views of a journal deal
ing with it's own local industry are TO be
expected, but the quotation and more
of the same tenor sounds very much ike
whistling to keep the courage up whlle
going through dark place with possible
dangers lurking in it. The Occur d Alene
lead-silver mines have been very proht-
able properties with lead at cents
pound and silver at about So cents an
ounce. The producing mines do yield
about 50 per cent of the total lead con-
sumption of the United States, and the
new mines under development may have
prospects which will result in an addi-
tional production such that the district
will yield an amount of lead equal to the
entire consumption of the United tSates
The ability of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict to respond with any desired yield
up to the entire consumption is the prin-
cipal difficulty Of the future price situa-
ton of lead. There are other districts
that produce lead and other miners who
have mines. First of all is the big smelt-
ing and refining combination which by
controlling lead mines in Missouri In
effect owns them and has itself become
a miner Of lead. If this company would
shut down it's own mines Of lead, to buy
lead from other mines that 1t does not
own, It could only be because the profit
from purchase was larger than the profit
| from mining.
Judging from facts which the Occur
| G'Alene Mining Journal admits. but

BUTTE's PROPOSED EXCHANGE
It's Organization Is Nearly Complete
Another Week Will See It
Established

The movement having as its object the
starting Of a mining stock exchange in
this city is progressing as we'll as could
be expected and will reach the definite
point within the coming week. Nothing
has been said publicly about 1t lately
but the promoters have not been idle.
Ever since Joseph V. Long returned from
his visit to Salt Lake and other places.
which visit was made in the interest Of
the proposed Butte exchange, he has
been working zealously to shape matters.
and although few snags have been en-
countered in the work he now has the
organization about complete. 1t is the
intention of the Butte men to start off
right. They feel satisfied that if the bust
ness of the exchange is properly con-
Quoted the chances of failure will be re-
duced to a minimum.
Butte one had an exchange, but it was
not an uDto-date one and soon fell by
the wayside, total wreck. because of
the haphazard manner in which it was
conducted. The managers of the old
concern started out with the intention of
listing only such stocks as possessed
merit, but before long their bulletin
boards was pastered with shares hav-
ing little or no value whatever. Of
course they handled some good stocks
but the load of dead ones overbalanced
them and spoiled the whole thing.
Salt Lake, city not having near the
advantages for speculation or the ge-
. US for it that Butte has. maintains
a stock eXhange in which seats that
once sold for less than 500 are now
worth more than half a thousand each
and are scarce at that figure. 1t is
doing a good business and earning mon
ey for those who are interested in it.

MINES and MINING. t%::~ I'M THE N0RTHWES1

obvious deductions, the smelling COM
pany seems to be looking the other way,
1t has bought the Missouri lead mines
this year. 1t did not have to load itself
with them unless it proposed to use
them. 1t has restricted the Occur d'Alene
production Is per cent to gain the time
to unload its surplus stock Of 40, 600 tons
of lead. 1t Is to be presumed that it is
unloading this surplus lead stock at 4
cents and that by the beginning of 1902
II will be clear of it. 1t has not renewed
Its contracts with the Occur d'Alene
mines. 1t has made new contracts with
lead producers in Utah and Colorado
which run into 1902 and beyond. The
terms of these contracts and the charac-
ter and metal content of the ores insure
that they will be mined and delivered
at lower prices for lead.
When this paper commented on the
lead situation some months since it
quoted one of the principal men of the
smelling company on the situation from
its point of view. A remark made in the
interview from which the quotation was
taken. but not quoted then. was in effect
that the smelling company had been
holding the bag for the outside producers
OF lead, but would not continue to. AS
the situation has developed in the few
months since then, it seems to an out
side observer that they have got some
one else to hold the bag. Unless there Is
a change between now and January l
of 1902, tn latter date will find the smelt-
ing company with no surplus stock of
lead to lose on by lower prices. and with
its own and contract supplies of lead ores
sufficient to meet consumption and in
sure it's profits no matter how the price
Of lead may tumble. The same date may
find the Occur d'Alene mines with no
contract for the sale of its ores and no
smelters or refireries to reduce them to
commercial metal.
The strength of the Occur d'Alene lead
silver mines is not in the lead produc-
ton. the price of which is certain to take
very large downward fluctuations, but
in the silver, the price Of which is much
more stable. With sufficient silver con-
tent for the ores to pas ci.'s costs Of min
ing and reduction for the silvon the
lead production will be competitive and
can find market. But all the Occur
Alene mines do not garry enough sill
Yer in their ores to pay land such may
find it necessary to suspend, and the
profits of the others will be seriously
ourtailed. Even if the Occur d'Alene
mines can supply all the lead &C nsump-
ton of the United States the commercial
situation seems against their doing it,

When and How TO Thin Emit.

The Kansas station claims that the
work Of thinning fruits should be done
early when the little fruits are from
one-half to three-fourths Of an inch in
diameter, before the pits have begun
to harden, and before there has been
an exhaustive strain on the tree. By
relieving the tree of all extra effort
at this time it can put it's energy into
developing the remaining fruits. The
thinning should be done by hand so
that a systematic selection of fruits
to remain may be made. A large
amount of good judgment is necessary
to thin fruits so as to balance up the
crop on a tree.
With peaches the aim should be to
leave the fruits at least six inches
apart. However, the size and strength
of the limbs will determine this to
some extent; slender limbs eighteen
inches long can probably support only
one fruit. In thinning plums the dis
lance apart to leave the fruits cannot
be so definitely stated because they
are produced in clusters. The clusters
should be broken UP so that only two
or three fruits remain, the idea being
not to have the fruits touch when
ripe. Apricots may be left about three
times as thick as peaches, that is, so
as to be two inches apart when ripe.
With apples and pears the clusters
should be thinned down to one or two

The case Of death from the bite of a
viper reported from Cumberland is
the first for several years. The bite
of a viper is always intensely painful,
but is much more rarely fatal than
most people imagine. This, we be-
lieve, is only the seventh case on rec
ord in England for the past forty
years, and here, as in most other cases,
Une victim was a child. 1t should be
carefully noted that vipers rarely bite
except by. way of retaliation. They

tiers If they are not touched; though In

Fancy Strawberries.

II q poor man is industrious and
willing to work, let him move on to
a small piece of ground where there
Is a comfortable house for his family,
and go to raising fancy strawberries,
and he will be more independent and
make better living than in town,
says writer in Gardening in con
nection with the following items:
A glossy appearance goes a long
way in attracting the attention of
passersby to a fancy grade of straw
berries, and the merchant who handles
them can always get from two to
three cents more per quart.
Clean and attractive boxes are neces-
sary to make even a fancy straw
berry look well on the market. While
box material is SO cheap it would be
mistaken economy to use any but new
boxes.
When growing fancy strawberries
on poor soil, prefer barnyard manure
to any other material or a winter
mulch, as it contains numerous fer.
tilizing elements to be washed into
the soil.
The grower Of fancy Strawberries
receives more profit from one-tGird OF
an acre Of land than the person who
grows a common grade receives from
a whole acre.
The careless person cannot grow
fancy strawberries, because he never
gives them the right kind of. attention
at the proper time.
If the right conditions are provided
one person can grow as many fancy
strawberries as another.
