When I saw he was determined upon
making another appointment I request
&c him to do me the courtesy of request

official channel, as our appointment,
when we established a standard time
for the city, was made in due form,
giving official authority to our appoint

The importance of this was realized
years ago when there was SO much
jumping of mining claims at the hour
that made it possible for the Jumper"
to legally establish his time in re-lOcat-

He then promised that he would COM

hope that you may realize it is the BUSH

fol the care of the clock, that impels
certain people to endeavor to get the
appointment away from me.
I further wish to call your attention
to the fact that when we established

DUMMY" ROWAN AND PURCELL
A Twenty Round Go that Should be u
Corker at Anaconda To-
morrow Nirht

All arrangements have been completed
for the 20-round go between Dummy
Rowan and Purcell at Anaconda tomol>
row night. The fight will be pulled off
In Turner hall and will be under the
auspices Of the Anaconda Athletic ASSOC
citation. About 200 Butte sports will go
over to see the mill.
Rowan is popular in Anaconda and in
Butte. particularly since his splendid
showing against Ike Hayes. the colored
heavyweight. He has been training
faithfully since that battle and is now
in the pink of condition. He says he is
confident he will be able to get the de-
cision over Purcell. The latter Is equally
confident of victory, and says he will
make the silent sparrer realize that he
has undertaken something.
Everything considered, the mill should
be a good one and should draw large
crowd. The B., A. & p. railroad will
probably run a special from Anaconda
to Butte after the fight, so that local
sports can attend the go and return
home at seasonable hour.

This beautiful spring like weather is any
thing but blessing to 1000 or 1S0O resi-
dents of the city, who are only waiting
for two or three days OF Arctic tempera-
ture to start productive labor, something
they cannot do while the sun dissipatcs the
usual January frigidity which they have
right to expect at the present time.
Today there is an army OF ice harvesters
idle and there is at this time no prospect
of change which will put them to work.
One OF the representatives OF local ice
company said yesterday:
1T is not often that the end Of January
sees us with empty icehouses. but we have
had that experience for two successive
years now. There is only one large con
sumer of ice which has its crop harvested.
The West Point Dairy company put a large
number OF men to work during the last
cold weather and filled their houses. They
got good ice and are now on easy street.
The balance Of the people whose business
depends upon the ice crop are naturally
uneasy, but We have the satisfaction of
knowing that il we do not get a crop this
year it will be the first time in the history
OF the town that the local crop was insult
cient TO provide for the necessities of the
inhabitants the following summer. For
this reason we are not as uneasy as we
would otherwise be- Last year 1t was after
February l before We had ice OF sufficient
thickness to put into the houses and be-
fore the end Of the month the houses were
all filed
This year we took lesson from our
experience of last season We made inn
provements in the machinery for handling
the ice after it is cut and as a result we
can put more men to work on the same
ground than we could last year. with
two weeks OF cold weather all Of the ice
houses of the city can be filled. and then
with other mortals we can complain OF the
cold weather. At the present time there
is nothing TO do but wait and hope"
