Rio did not care TO live. That man was
Captain William Ward. After the ship
struck he did all in his power to save
his passengers, but all who saw him in
those last fateful moments agree that
he made no effort to save himself. Sec
ond Officer Coghlan saw him shortly be
fore the Rio plunged beneath the wa
ters. AT that time Ward was making
for his stateroom. A woman, Mrs. Kate
West, believes that she was the last
person who saw HIM. Her story is that
he stepped into his stateroom and clos
ed the door A moment later the ship
went down.
A native of North Carolina, Ward had
the typical pride and spirit of the South
His ship was his life, and he guarded
her jealously Entering the service Of
the Pacific Mail as a boy he worked his
way up from cadet to captain, and he
had the distinction of being the young
est executive officer in the service OF
his company. He was only 3S when he
died. AS captain he was brave and
courageous, and passengers and seamen
all spoke well of him. The lives In his
charge were to be kept from harm; his
cargo was to be, landed-that was his
creed
He had never married, but was er.-
gagged to Miss Lena Jackson, daughter
| of Mr. and Mrs. ]. S. jackson of PIG
| riage was delayed because Captain Ward
had hoped to get shore duty, so that he
| could live at home. The wedding was
to have taken place early in the SUM
mer. d
! Miss Jackson is completely Frustrated
and, although she, like others, often
! heard him say that he never would face
the disgrace of losing his ship, Ste is
hoping against hope that he may yet be
heard from. Other members of the fam
| lily speak Of his firm, inflexible will and
pride and say that they feel sure that
he deliberately went TO his death with
his ship.
There is still further veriflcation OF
Captain Wards sense of responsibility
IN regard to the steamers placed IN his
charge. He told one friend that II he
saw his ship lost and there was nothing
more for him to do he would 20 into
his cabin and blow out his brains. his
friend thinks that If the sea ever gives
up its dead 1t will be found that Cap
tain Ward kept his word. Others sa!
that he did not have time to carry OUT
such threat, as the ship went down
: soon after he was seen to enter MS
cabin.
Captain Ward wrote to his intended
wife from Nagasaki in most cheeriui
way and spoke of the happy days when
! he was sure We're close at hand.

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-25

The Boston News Bureau. a paper OPP
and friendly to its rival concerns in
Butte has the following on the general
situation in its issue OF Sept. Goth:
The situation of the Boston & Montana
and the Anaconda is largely the situation
of Amalgan,ated. The Boston & Mon
tana production has been cut down from
100000 lbs. of copper per month to a.
100000 lbs by the Heinze anjunctions.
These injunctions have closed the
richest part of the Boston & Mon
tana. the famous Comanche, also
the Leonard shaft and the eastern
half Of the Pennsylvania mine. The Bos-
ton & Montana is running its concentra-
tor nearly full. but cannot keep its
smelter fully supplied, and it is working
from it's poorer mines. The last quSr-
terly dividend, it will be recalled, was
due to be paid Aug. 20, but an injunction
threatening, the dividend was paid sew
eral weeks earlier. The Boston 4 Mon
tana dividends are now enjoined from
payment. This withholds an income of
nearly $60o0.000 per annum from the
Amalgamated Copper Co., an amount
equal to about 81 share on Ansalga-
mated stock.
There are several fragrant errors in
Bureau must be aware of. Continuing
it says:
With the Boston & Montana dividends
enjoined. with the Anaconda net earn
ings required in large parts to complete
its smelter with the Parrot drawing
upon it's surplus and with copper accu-
mu,atin with all the copper mining
companies, the outlook is not hopeful for
a continuance of payments of IS per
share upon $155, coo of Amaisamated
stock
This is without consideration of the
10 law suits in which the Amalgamat-
ed Copper Co., is involved with F. A.
Heinze and the Montana Ore Purchasing
Co.
Our Boston contemporary is doing the
bear act with a vengeance, but its infor-
nation is so unreliable that its con-
tinued success may we'll be doubted.
The Boston StatiSt of the 21st inst, re-
ferring to the reduction Of the Amalga-
mated dividend has this explanation.
The failure to pay the half per cent
extra Amalga mated dividend at this
time is officially stated to be due large
~ to the fact that an injunction IS now
in force in Montana, restraining the
Boston & Montana Mining Company
from paying anything over to the Anal
gamated company.
This, of course, deprives them of a
larger sum of money that otherwise
would come to the Amalgamated for use
in paying dividends. The stockholders
will eventually receive the entire
amount. The omission of the extra d.
vid2nd,, therefore, is only a temporary
postponement.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-25

Russell Sage whose experience in the
financial world should give value to his
opinions and who certainly cannot be
regared as an optimst in his ordinary
relations with men, declared few days
ago:
Il am q great believer in the country
and its prosperity, and therefore am a
bull on the stock market. the remark
able recovery in prices following the de-
preston consequent upon the sad death
of President Mckinley ought to convince
all how inherently sound the general sit
uation is. l think the market now is
shaping itself for a very substantial rise.

dent Roosevelt. They believe, and I be-
Ieve. that he will make a good president.
The country will go on its way to great
err prosperity"

THE MINES OF BUTTE.

The performances of the bulls and
bears of Wall street and the resulting
fluctuations in copper mining stocks are
always interesting, but they are not of
vital concern to the people of Montana
so long as those festive quadrupeds do
not misrepresent the richness and extent
Of the mines upon which $4,000 people
in Butte and 100000 in the state at large
depend for employment or general bust
ness. When that point is reached it is
time to announce to the world that any
statement casting doubt upon either the
value Or permanence of the Butte copper
deposits is grossly and villainously false.
There never has been time in the his
tory of Butte when the mines We're so
productive and showed such ore reserves
as at present. If in places there has
been diminution of the copper percent
ages, Improvement in the methods of ex-
traction and cheapening in the methods
OF transportation and reduction have
operated to eQualize the difference. The
system of consolidation of interests,
enabling owners to develop on a larger
scale than was before possible, has also
operated to neutraliZe disadvanta Ses
and offset to some extent at least the
fall in the market price Of silver, so tina,
were it not for the tremendous expense
of litigation it might trWthfuly he said
that the future of the mines Of Butte
under conditions of harmony and good
will which employers and employees are
now co-operatingto bring about-it might
be said that the future Of the mines of
Butte never looked SO encouraging as it
does now. One Of the strongest proofs
Of the truth of this hopeful statement
Is the 5,000-ton smelter which capital is
erecting at Anaconda, which means the
working Of more ore. the employment OF
more men and the distribution of more
money that were ever previously re-
corded in this vicinity. The successful
operation Of the Boston & Montana
smelter at Great Falls and the Clark,
Colorado and Montana Ore Purchasing
plants in Butte, the heavy investments
of Mr.. Franklin Farrell, the resumption
o. the Alice and the remarkable discov-
cries east of the city afford but addi-
tional confirmation to the assurance of
bright future, based on ever increasing
productiveneSs.
Let no man, whether he be a resident
Of Butte or any eastern city, be misled
as to the permanence of the Butte
mines by the bear" stories Of the Bos-
ton and New York SPECTATORS Butte
is all right, and will he long after our
childrens children die of OLD age. We
have always had prophets of evil but
their prophecies have always been ex-
ploded by the ruthless hand Of time.

STOCK SPECULATION.

The esteemed Miner gives the weight
of it's Endorsement to the suggestion OF
the Inter Mountain that men who can
afford to speculate in stocks, buy them
outright instead of on margins. The
Miner INDUCES in a dark intimation that
the Inter Mountains advice is the result
of personal experience. and inquiries
how a man whose resources are limited
can possibly buy outright. The point is
we'll taken, but the reply is easy-he
should let stocks alone. This valuable
information the Inter Mountain gives to
it's readers without extra charge, but it
is not based on the writer's personal ex-
perience, inasmuch as the savings Of a
lifetime in a newspaper Office are rarely
sufficient to induce plunging in excess
Of total OF 500 a year. The Inter
Mountains proposition was based on
general observation as to the fate Of
those who. having money. are not salts
fed with it's legitimate investment. but
insist on taking chances on the mar,
