Ellen Terry's Wit,

An instance of the way in which the
acting of play grows may be taken
from Ellen Terry's playing in Mime.
Sans Gene" In the play in question the
washerwoman-du duchess is having les
son from a professor of dancing. The
business of the play requires her to be
awkward in her attempts at dancing.
and the actress is awkward-delightful
awkward. She has put on a long riding
habit in order to become accustomed to
manipulate her court train in the dance
and is so much troubled with 1t that
finally she tucks it up over her arm
while she Is Tearing to take the steps.
The train keeps slipping off her arm
and the episode is cause of much
boisterous amusement.
One night in a great English manu-
featuring city she was playing the part
with even more than her usual nerve.
She was lost in the assumed character
SO thoroughly that it was real to her,
and the eXwasherwoman, with her
mind harassed and worried by the try
ing conditions of her artificial court life,
instinctively returned to the habits of
her youth. In moment of abstraction.
finding the fat coil of stuff across her
arm. she instinctively began to wiring
it out. The response of the audience
was electrical; every ws.na:i-and man
who had ever seen a washtub recOg.
nized the sincerity of the action. This
moment of creative instinct was re-
corded in the actress mind. and has
been repeated ever since.-CosmOpoli-
tan,

BACH AND KID CLAIMS BOUGHT
Thew Pass From J. L. Harmon to
the New Year ompany for
$4,000.

During the past week the New Year
Gold Mines company purchased of ]. L.
Harmon for $4,000 cash the old Bach
and the Kid quartz mining lodes IN the
Warm Spring mining district, near Lew
istown, says the Helena Record.
All the property is patented ground
and Immediately joins the mines OF the
New Year company.
The Abbey mining claim in the North
Moccasi1. district was bonded Aug. II py
F. S, Akely to John r. Cook OF Spo-
kane. and extensive developments Will
negin at once The bond extends Tor SIX
months and requires that certain num-
her of men shall be maintained at work
on the ground constantly. The bonding
party has deposited a sufficient amount
Of cash in one of the local banks TO
guarantee the fulfilment of the working
clause in the bond and in short time
an application will be made for patent
The only previous development on the
claim is a tunnel Is feet in length, which
shows ore almost from the grass roots.
It is the intention of the new manage
ment to sink upon the ore body as now
exposed in the tunnel and a hosting
nl,ant will be installed as soon as sum
cient depth has been attained to require
it.
The Abbey lode is on the north side OF
Dog creek on the east side OF the range
about one and half miles north OF the
town of Kendall, and gives promise OF
becoming one of the prominent mines OF
of the North Moccasin range.

MINES and MINING :=%:~ IN THE NORTHWEST

Way-Up and Montana claims on the Lib
by creek slope of Goat Mountain, has re-
turned to his home in Butte and will
probably not again return to this district
this year. In connection with James
Higgins, one of the Amalgamated super
intendents in Butte. considerable de-
velopment work has been done on these
claims and they are considered to be
about the best gold propositions in the
camp. The ore is sulphide, will concen-
trate about twenty into one and these
concentrates will average about $240 a
ton The ledge at the face of the long
tunnel, which is in about $50 feet, is
about twelve feet in width and a large
portion of this is considered good ore.
The property has about 500 feet of work
done and an application has been made
for patent, the survey having been
completed before Mr.. Riley left for
Butte.
The machinery for the ten-stamp mill
for the Blacktail Mining company is now
being hauled from Libby to the West
Fisher and is being placed in position as
fast as it arrives there. A force of car
penters and millwrights is kept busy and
it is the intention of the company to
have the mill in operation before snow

lett creek. just above the Brgg & Bran
rigan plant and the ore is to come from
the BlaclStail mine. the original discov-
cry in that section from which some of
the richest ore ever found there has been
! obtained. The company is composed
/; largely of Kalispell people and all of the
money, it is understood, is being supplied
by people living at that place.
There have been large number of
mining men from the outside in Libby
during the past few days and deals of all
: kinds are constantly in the air. 1t is
! confidently believed that several import
ant transfers Of mining property will
soon be made. and. if they are, there will
be large amount of work mapped out
for the immediate future in this district.

THE PROPER SWING
JOHN BRYANT WILL STRIKE PAY
SHOOTS WITH A BOTTLE.
TO FORFEIT $500 IF HE FAILS
His Device Possesses a Greater affinity
For Dollars Than Dimes, But It
Lands on Either Gold
or Silver.

Attorney Thomas c. McGrath Jerry
Mccarthy and John Bryant left today for
Rochester. Madison county. to inspect
two mining claims owned by Mr.. Nc
Grath. Mr.. Bryant is a recent arrival
from Dallas Texas. and is possessed of
a machine for locating bodies of ore
carrying gold and silver. Before start
ing for Rochester he gave Messrs. Nc
Grath and Mccarthy practical illus
tration of the workings of the machine
and told them he would locate the pay
shoots on Mr.. McGraths claims or for
felt 500. AS an evidence of his sz~
ceity he deposited the s1o0 with Mr..
Mccarthy.
Mr.. Bryant's machine consists of a
bottle about six inches long in which
there is heavy liquid substance sup
posed to be quicksilver. The bottle is
covered with a coil of material to pre-
vent the light from striking the con-
tents. From the neck of the bottle a
copl err wire about four feet long pro-
trudes. When the bottle is being used
a portion Of the protruding wire is wrap

and the bottle is allowed to hang. If
there is either gold or silver about, the

In Mr.. McGrath's Office a day or two
ago Bryant gave the machine a test in
the presence of Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr.
Grath. The latter threw a ten-cent piece
on the floor few feet away and Mr..
Bryant launched the bottle in the air.
Instantly the bottle began to swing to-
wards it. Mr.. McGrath thought the ope-
rator was aiding the swinging process
with his hand and SO informed him, but
the operator transferred the machine
to Mr.. McGrath and it swung for him

CAVERN STRUCK IN A NINE
Most Artistically Decorated
By Nature.

The largest cave yet found in any of
the workings of the mines of the Gilt
Edge district was recently encountered
in a cross-cut being driven from the
main tunnel to tap an ore body on the
Stand BY ground of the Great Northern
Mining and Development company,
says the Great Falls Leader. The cave,
which is about two thousand feet from
the tunnel entrance, extends overy fully
an acre of ground and is one of the most
beautiful and interesting subterranean
cavities ever known III the state 1t
does not consist of one large chamber,
but of many small chambers varying
in width from the smallest to great
rooms three and four hundred feet in
width. Many of these rooms have been
most artistically decorated by nature,
the floors being of brightly stained
lime in most complete state of crys-
talization, while from the roofs of many
of them hang thousands of SNOWY white
stalactites, many of which are several
feet in length.
One small chamber which has been
named the wedding ROOM shows an
unusually beautiful crystalization, the
arching roof and even the walls almost
to the floor being covered by an al
most transparent incrustation of lime,
every little niche in both the walls and
roof being filled with lace work of
most Enthusiastically arranged crystals.
Another room known as My Lady's
Boudouir' looks as if at some time
there might have been a fountain play
ing in the center Of it and another
chamber known as the paint pot"
from the highly stained color of the
floor has a limpid spring bubbling UP
from the CLASSY bottom, while in an
other room that has not yet received
name there may be seen a number OF
large stalagmites that look almost as
if nature had essayed a turn at do
ing little stauary. The cave has been
visited by large number Of people
and the management at the mines arc
very free with passes to those who de-
sire to view what is probably the most
beautiful cavern in the northwest.

just the same as it did for Mr.. Bryant.
McGrath then thought he would fool the
machine. Drawing a silver dollar from
one of his pockets he tossed 1t to one
side and the bottle. having greater ad-
miration for dollars than dimes. at once
went after it. Then it was tested on
piece of ore and it worked with equal

1t is claimed that the machine will not

width and length. provided the length is
not more man $50 feet.
