PLACER MINES HARD AT. WORK
All the Dredges and shovels Start to
Digging Gold in the Rich
Gravel Beds

Especial to the Inter Mountain)
Anaconda. May 25.-The mining season
has opened up in full blast out in French
gulch, where several of Anaconda's we'll
known citizens are operating placer
diggings.
William r. Allen, who is interested
in the French Gulch Dredging company's
property, and is also the sole owner OF
some valuable placer claims in the
neighboring vicinity, came in from the
diggings yesterday, where he has spent
the past two weeks in beginning opera
tions for this years run.
Mr.. Allen has started up the new
hydraulic tower ordered in San Fran
cisco couple of months ago, and it Is
proving to be quite a decided success
This tower is the first one of the kind
ever used in Montana, but in California
In late years placer operators have found
them to be valuable Improvement over
the old method of washing gold.
Before purchasing the machine for
French gulch, Mr.. Allen made a special
trip to the coast to see them in oper-
alton. While there he made careful in
vestigations and came to the conclusion
that Montana gravel was as susceptible
as the California article, so he decided
to take a chance and give the apparatus
a trial, and it has more than come UP
to his expectations.
The dredge owned by the French
Gu!ch Dredging company was started
up last Monday, and everything seems to
be running along smoothly.
Mr.. Allen returned to the diggngs this
forenoon.

WHY JOHN w. GATES NAME WAS
DROPPED FROM NEW YORK
YACHT CLUB. a

The names of John W. Gates and his
som Charles We're dropped from the list
of candidates for election to member
ship Unto the New York Yacht club,
Hpt beea3lse J. r. Morgan had decided
to fight them. but because their friends
Were not willing that, any opposition
should be made to their selection
The names of Colonel Gates and his
son were posted several days ago by II.
Hall Mccormick. Both of them were
looked upon as desirable additions, but
Mr.. Mccormick learned that a few of
the old members We're personally op.
posed to Colonel Gates.
Mccormick was not willing to embar.
rass either the father or the son by hav-
ing any opposition to them, although he
entertained no doubt of their election.
He simply withdrew their names, and
no vote was taken upon them Wednes-
day night, when the membership COM
mittee met.
This talk about Morgan having start
ed fight against the election of the
Gateses is all idiotic,'' said a promin emit
member of the club yesterday
In the first place, Morgan did not
know their names had been posted
Even if he had been told of it he would
not nave considered opposing either of
them. He has entirely too much busi-
ness to attend to now to think of his
social relations, and, what is more, there
is no record to show he has any personal
enmty against Colonel Gates.
1T is probable that the few who op-
posed the prospective members were so
loud in their protestations that Mr.. Me-
Cormick thought it was due his friends
to prevent the uncomfortable circum-
stances which would necessarily have
resulted if they had been elected"

time the rich living of Ockley, in Surrey.
The trOublouS times for the souls of the

of England at that time led him, with
a company of his associates, to come to
New England. Some of his former par

them, Thomas Norton, had been one Of
his church wardens in Ocllley. After a
short Sojourn in New Haven, they

out an engineer and he ran the levels
for the bathtub, and then we went
ahead and built it.
1--WE connected it with the stream out
side by a pipe of suitable dimensions
with a cutoff gate at the intake, this
gate being adequately weighed to carry
it down into place again after it had
been raised. 1t was lifted by means of
a rope running up over sheave wheels to
a point inside the house by the bath
tub. When the giant wanted to take
bath he simply pulled the rope and lift
ed the water gate, with the result prac-
tically of diverting the stream from its
natural bed to a course through the
giants bathtub. But 1t was quite

most always ample.
when the giant had finished his bath
he would open a gate at the foot of
the tub, which was built as any tub
would be, with a slight incline, and the
water ran out into a ditch that we had
dug for it outside and by this back sato

If the show was near canal the giant
would go, before people were up in the
morning, and take bath in the lock.
We used to arrange with the lock keep
er to fill the lock same as he would let
a boat through, and the giant would
take his bath and then they'd just open
the lower gate in the usual way and so
empty the big bathtub.
Sometimes we found suitable rivers,
or streams large enough for him to battle
in, and if everything else failed the
giant could always get a shower bath.

were great friends, and the balloon man
was always ready to oblige the giant
in this way. He'd get feed buckets of
water in the car and thea his hel1ers

The house was built strong and well, its
walls were three feet thick and it's tim

The building was somewhat enlarged
about thirty years ago, when for some
years it had become unsafe by reason of
weakening of the southern wall. To re-
store and preserve it the south and a part
of the west wall were rebuilt, using the
same stone, and the back 'L'' was some
what enlarged. 1t was discovered then

ANTI-CIGARETTE CRUSADE.
Several Legislatures Passing Moder-
ate Bills Against Their Sale.

ate Bills Against Their Sale.
According to The Outlook measures d.
rected against the sale of cigarettes have
occupied much attention in the various
state legislatures this past winter. One
of the most radical measures is that
adopted by the lower house of the New
Hampshire legislature. This law provides
that hereafter no person, firm or corpo-
ration shall make, sell or keep for sale
any form of cigarette. 1t makes even
the gift of a cigarette to a minor mis-
demeanor. The penalty is a fine of $40
for first offense and $50 for any subse-
quent offense. The magazine from which
we quote says that this act is a sample
of those which have been presented to
most of the state legislatures. 1t seems
that eleven states have already passed
laws against the cigarette, and that only
two stateS-Louisiana and Wyoming
have not given the subject some atteu-
ton. These measures seem to win sup
port very largely from the fact that there
is such a widespread belief that this par
ticular use of tobacco is especially preva-
lent among boys and young men, and that
it is doing incalculable injury to many or
the rising generation. Even among legis.
lators who are themselves smokers it is
not difficult to win support for such bills
because they put this abuse on the same
plane as the sale of liquors to minors.
The more rational reformerS who arc
frankly opposed to the use of cigarettes
mot only by minors but also by adults,
and especially by women) will very much
doubt the expediency of such stringent
legislation as that adopted in New Hamp-
shire. 1t is notorious that sumptuary
and prohibitory legislation generally over
reaches itself, and IN the end falls dead
