You would be surprised to know the
amount of money spent in year in
Butte for sports of various kinds" said
a well known dealer in sporting goods
and hardware, in conversation the other
day, as he leaned back in his chair ana
endeavored to keep cool. "Of course,
could not give you the exact figures FOR
what is sold here-no one could. as tbs.
goods come through SO many sources
hut here are some of the figures, est
mated as closely one can do so from
the sales of our own house and those OF
the other leading dealers.
There are three solid cars of ammuni-
ton of various kinds every year. besides
all the broken lots that dribble along
through the season. These cars. are
worth upwards of $4,000 each, taking tn.
average orders. Probably $4,000 would
not be cent too much for the annual
sales. This includes ammunition of per-
haps hundred varieties; yes, more thaa
that, counting each variety of shotgun
shell and the various loads which are
legion.
1.-The proportionate value Of shotgun
ammunition to rifle cartridges is about
two to one. The two varieties come a
different seasons of the year. the rife
being used almost exclusively in the
winter while the shotgun has the call
in the spring and fall. Rifle ammuntion
Is far more expensive for given weight,
some of the small shells costing more
than shotgun shells of four times the
real weight.
IF one wanted to know what became
of this great amount of ammunition lee
need go no farther than to the shoot
ing grounds of the gun clubs to see
the great piles of empty shells thrown
around the gun stands 1t is very COM
mon for shooter to use from s. to s.
worth of shells in a days shooting at

week for six months OF the year. They

THE Philippine problem 5 working
itself out splendidly under the splendid
administration of Judge Taft. 1t has
seemed to me that he was s. ecially
raised up for the work he is now doing.
The natives were. when we left, giving
much attention to politics. Two parties,
the federal and the conservative, had
been formed under Judge Taft's encour-
agement and the members of these par
ties We're taking an active interest in the
business of governmental most healthy

little as yet and the parties might as

that range, almost any kind of a gun of
reasonable size will do the business and
there is no need of two-mile gun
1T would be hard to estimate the num-
Der of revolvers and pistols sold. There
are hundreds, however, from the cheap
est small calibre weapon that comes
within the range or the small boys
purse, to the elaborate target weapon
that will shoot like rifle, and cost even
more than one. There is a great fall
ing off in the demand for the cheapest
% calibre pistols. Whether the boys
have given up these miserable little fool
killers, and taken to larger weapons,
cannot say; but there are not nearly so
many of them sold as there were a few
years ago.

almost everybody goes fishing, and
the total number of Izaak Waltons in

There is some sale of loose powder

and there are even a few Anticipated

ably there are not dozen in the city:
though in some of the country districts
OF the state they may be found in
greater numbers. The ridiculous cheap

driven the old powder and shot weapons
out of the field.
1T would perhaps surprise some of

man wants fancy gun, he can get it,

can own one.
You would hardly guess the number
of guns of all kinds sold here in the
course OF a year. For instance, we have
sold almost all of a shipment of 100 Saw
age rifles received less. than year ago,
and our this years order will be as large,

$50 shotguns of all grades: probably three
hundred for the yearly total. There
ought to be nearly 1000 guns sold an
nually in the city of Butte. by all deal
ers, and through the mail order houses.

the sporting world. These weapons are
