Ore From the Whipporwill.

Charles G. Obermire. superintendent of
the Whippoorwill mine, at Sand creek,
was in town Thursday on business con-

Sentinel. He reports that there are
about thirty men now employed in put
ting in new machinery and taking ore
from the old tunnel in which the vein
was cut two weeks ago. This ore shoot
is very rich, and stopping will begin In .
few days. In the meantime a full crew

be engaged in sinking the shaft, which
will be continued until depth Of 500
feet is attained. The finding of the ore
body in the tunnel acts as a stimulus to

elapse before regular shipments to the

GREAT FALLS ELKS HAVE
A FOURTH OF JULY SCHEME

Monkey Shines on the Public
S<yoA<a

For a time 1t looked as If the city
OF Great Falls would have no celebration
OF the Fourth of July this year." said
resident Of the Falls City at the Butte
hotel today. For some reason there was
little or none Of that patriotic fervor
which is so characteristic Of American
cities and the city seemed enveloped in
a lethargy from which it could not be
awakened. One of the reasons given for
this is that our street fair. coming so
soon after. occupied the time and energy
Of majority Of the most progressive
public spirited and patriotic citizens.
However that may be. the Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks concluded
that the American flag should be UNI
furled to the breeze, suspended from the
highest flag pole in the city, and the
eagle bird should give vent to his loud
est and most exaltant notes on the ma
tons holiday.
With the Elks it was but to think of
it to act and for the past two or three
weeks the members Of this great and
grand American order have, individually
and collectively. been arranging their
plans for a celebration on July 4, that

The Union Depot.

During this fine weather it is a great
shame that the project for the erect on
of union depot in this city is being
neglected by the railroad powers that
be. The Butte Business Mems associa-
ton has collected and placed before the
railroad magnates all the statistical in
formation needed to justify the expend!-
ture required, and the necessary prom
Uses have been made by the officials of
three roads. Yet the depot remains
thing of the future.
It is six months now since President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific, in reply
to a letter from the local business Or
ganization, stated that he was ready to
go ahead, being willing either to CO.

had proved so correct in backing the
winner "Pity we can't have racing all
the year round" observed one enthusi-

up to Great Falls to see the races there.
They are going to have ten days rae

if you have not had enough of it you
can go up there. The officers of the
Montana Jockey club have notified the
racing association of Great Falls to that
effect"

broke in a Great Falls man. We've
had to put up bond of $4,000 to cover
the expenses of the meet. We had a
hard time to raise the required amount
and it looked for time as if Helena
would get it. but she fell down on the
guarantee and then we produced it.
There is lack of water at the race
track at Great Falls and 1t may be that
the Black Eagle track win be used. If
it is the track will have to be changed
from the narrow guage affair 1t Is now
to the standard halfmile track. A num-

made: the grand stand will be moved

horses are expected. Manager Laur-

would commence either the 10th or 18th
and the race programme will consist OF
albeit FIVE races each day one of which
will be a harness race"

DEALERS ARE SHY on
BARB WIRE FENCING
There Is Trouble Between Dealers and
the Headquarters Where Wire
Is Sold

There is not a coil of barbed fencing
wire in our city, nor has there been dur
ing the past four to six weeks said a
resident of Bozeman in Butte today.
More than that, it is reliably reported
that there is not pound of it in the
hands of dealers between Billings and
Helena. Thus hundreds of farmers in
the state are greatly inconvenienced and
many are being actually damaged for the
want of fencing material which they can
not possibly obtain for either love or
money.
Dealers everywhere report this con-
dltion of affairs and it appears that a
! sostage of fencing material is effecting
the whole country There is a brisk de-
mand in the west but no means of sup
ply. 1t appears that the market supply
has been suddenly cut short so that or
ders are hard to fill and there is con-
siderable annoyance among the men who
use great deal of fencing material every
year for this is just the time of the year
| when the fencing is needed most Of all.
1T is said that the present trouble now
| on between the great steel combine and
it's employees will materially effect the
| supply Of steel goods and will curtail
the wire fencing and shovel output. II
| the trouble is of long duration there is a
chance of the men Of this state who are
looking for fencing material to go with
out this necessary adjunct to ranch i'm

The companies not included in the
above list yielded profits which, added
to the above figures Of net returns for
the fiscal year, swell the total to about
$4,000, 900. The total production was
about s55, 100000, SO that while the copper
barons and the eastern stockholders re-
ceived $4,000, 900, the people of Montana
divided among themselves for labor,
supplies, merchandise, agricultural prod
ucts, etc, the balance, approximately, OF
$3s,Ooo,oOO. That is good deal of money
to be distributed among the people Of
the sparsely settled state of Montana
and by half a dozen mining concerns
many of which not long ago it was pro-
posed to drive out of the state. The
figures are impressive because they ex-
plain the prosperity Of the people Of
Montana and give them food for
thought.
1t is true that some of these great
corporations, being banded together fo,'
business reasons, are ignorantly called

respects, with a view of engendering
strife without reason and of causing II e
people to quarrel with their own brea

mated to great extent when the last
political campaign closed, and intelli-
gent citizens are now investigating the
subject for themselves uninf1uenced by
passion or falsehood. They realize now
that without consolidation of copper in
terests the price of copper could not be
maintained, and that the workingmen
and all other producing classes would
be the first to suffer from any considers

decrease of copper exports amounting 70
