Senator Clark Has Countermanded the
Order to Remove the Machinery
and Will Cross-cut for the
Vein From the 400.
(Special to Inter Mountain


Helena. Dec. Ex-senator W. A. Clark
has countermanded his order for the re-
moval of the Kenwood steam hoist to
Avon. His action is construed as mean
Ing that he will prospect further for
copper on Mount Helana.
When Charles w. Clark was in Helena
last week to attend the meeting of the
St. Louis fair commission, the matter
was taken up with him by several of
Helena's most influential citizens.
Senator Clark sunk a shaft 400 feet
on the side of Mount Helena to fully ex-
plot the theory that there was copper
below water level. For many years Hell
ena and vicinity has been the banner
gold producing section of the state. 1t
has been the theory of copper miners,
however, that below the limestone forma-
ton copper would be found. This belief
was based upon numerous surface indica-
The Clark prospect shaft struck water
at a depth Of about 375 feet, and work
was continued until the 400-foot level was
reached. At $50 feet the lead was left
and no crosscut has been run to inter-
sect it. The work was abandoned quite
suddenly about two months ago. and
since then Helena people have been using
their influence to have work resumed.
The matter is one of considerable i'm
portance to Helena, and those interested
In copper properties in this locality are

will develop copper mine.

Thackeray's First Lecture in New York


Among the audience Of about 1900 that

salist church, on the east side of Broad

day evening. November 10. 1852, were an
unusual number Of literary. artistic and
professional celebrities. Besides an i'm
posing array Of society leaders, the writ
err recalls Bancroft and Bryant, Halleck
and Irving. O'Conor and Verplanck.
President King and Prof. Morse. with
the editors, Greeley, Morris, Webb and
Willis. Thackeray appeared in the pull
pit promptly at o'clock, and was cor
daily welcomed by a sympathetic audi
ence. He seemed "a very castle of a
man." as Irving said of Fenimore Cooper.
His breadth of shoulders was quite in
keeping with his six feet three inches.
He was in his 4od year, but his silvered
hair and gold spectacles gave him the
appearance OF a person past so. His SUBJ
ject was Swift" His exceedingly fine
presence, combined with his charm Of
manner and the melody of his rich tenor
voice, created a most favorable impress
ssion. Never rising into the declamatory,
the lecturer read with a quiet, graceful
eace, and few notes above the converse
tional level. He occupied about an hour.
but there was no sense of the lapse of
time with at least one youthful listener.

ONE OF KALISPELL'S ATTORNEYS
MAKES A DISCOVERY.
NO LAW AGAINST DRAW POKER
It Is Claimed That All Other Gambling
Games and Devices Are Prohibited
But That Draw Poker Is
Not Mentioned.
(Special to Inter Mountain)

Kalispell Dec. 12.--Mat tuffe. a
a wealthy Columbia Falls raneher, who
was suspected of being insane, was
given a hearing before Judge Smith to-
day. After a thorough examination it
was decided that While CUTIE might be
slightly unbalanced mentally. there is
not hing to warrant his committal to the
insane asylum. He was accordingly
allowed to return to his home since MS
detention in kalispell. Cuffe has shown

friends that he will soon be entirely re-
covered.

padded pdy-rofls The Jap was appre-
hendel here upon the request of the
Choteau county officers.
An Attorneys Discovery.
A local attorney has made the alleged
discovery that there is nothing in the
anti gambling law of this state that pro-
hibits or makes unlawful the playing
of draw poker for money or any repre-
sentative of value.
Section l of the act of 1901 PROHIBITS
the "playing' of almost every other
gambling game but draw poker. Section
of the same act prohibits the opening
or conducting of all games named in the
first section. and in addition draw poker.
The permission of any of the games
mentioned is also prohibited in business
houses or places where drinks are sold,
but careful perusal of the law fails to
disclose any provision against the play
ing of draw poker in private rooms or
houses.
Can Play Draw Poker.
And in the case of draw poker the PEN
atty is directed against the owner or per-
son in charge of the saloon or business
house where the game is carried on: the
players themselves are not punishable
under the provisions of the law.
In fact the great American game" of
draw poker seems to be practically
exempt from all the provisions of the
Montana anti gambling law.
