plans of S. Howard Brady, the manager
of the company, are to thoroughly pros
pect this property and develop it so as
to put a large quantity of ore in sight
before the mill is started.
The chances are. that although active
development will proceed. no steps will
be taken to start the mill for at least
six months.
The big 800 ton cyanide plant at the
Empire mine is being tested. Tne fl st
test will he made on one tank, 81 as to
avoid any possible chance of a fire ze-

the starting Of the plant will be delayed
until spring. It is one of the most COM

state of Idaho. and is formed ny the ero-
sion of the Snake river and its trbu-
taries. Beginning at Huntington the
Snake river turns abruptly north and
cuts its way 1000 feet deep through a
great plateau for a distance of about
200 miles. The walls of the canyon are
in some places perpendicular. but rarely
are they less than a IS degree slope.
Most of the formation is a schist with
many twisted and rocky veins carrying
gold, silver, copper and even lead in
places. At distance of about three
miles east of the river in an air line
the schist gives way to granite, which
runs parallel with the river. nearly
throughout it's course. A mile or so
farther east this granite is replaced by
basalt or lava. which also parallels the
granite. and for thousands of miles caps

the intruding of the granite and later

DIAMONDS SOLD ON WEEKLY
PAYMENTS.

Any man or woman whose reputa ton
Is up to the average and who has per-
manent position with any reputable firm
or corporation can buy diamonds here on
the installment plan.
The jeWeler who inaugurated the prac-
tice of selling diamonds in Butte on the
weekly payment scheme has built up a
big business along that line, and his
weekly income from this source alone is
heavy.
He is a careful. shrewd man, who,
while appearing to freely trust the
diamond purchaser. does not do SO
wholly and entirely.
The man who does the buying signs a
number Of notes. one payable every
week. for the value Of the stone, and
when he has paid a fair portion of the
whole amount he is given possession Of
the diamond.
The title to it remains with the jew
eler, however. until all the payments
have been made, when bill Of sale is
given him and the chattle mortgage on
the diamond is satisfied.
At first glance it would seem that the
dealer has to wait long time for his
money and that he Is running a good
many chances in allowing the diamond
out of his possession before it's full value
is paid to him.
1t is true he has to wait for some of
the purchase price, but a portion of it
is coming in every week, and as for the
danger of the man who has the diamond
going away with the gem, that is very
small, for in the first place. he had to
give good references or he could not have
obtained the stone. and in the second
place, We're he to miss single payment
the jeweler would be after him.
Strange as it may seem. a few of the
best diamonds in the city are owned by
men who probably never had $1,000 in
their possession at one time, and who
could not save enough in 10 years to
purchase a $500 diamond.
But by the weekly payment scheme
they have become the owners of really
valuable stones, which are by many per-
sons looked upon as savings banks, for
they can always be sold or pawned for
fair proportion of their cost.

EASY TO GET DIAMONDS IN BUTTE
OF Jew-Bdecked
That Poor Men Are Now Enabled o Costly sparkers
by the Payment a smalls Sum- Week..

1t Is easy for a poor man to own a
diamond in Butte-not a cheap. off color
gem, but a good, clear stone. upon which
the dealer who sold it will advance al
most the cost price any day in the week.
This was demonstrated today, when a
young fellow who clerks in a grocery
store. where he earns perhaps SIS per
week. was detained" while an investiga-
ton was made regarding the ownership
OF several handsome and valuable
diamonds he was wearing.
1t was believed the gems had been
stolen. for 1t did not seem likely young
man drawing but SIS per week could
have come into possession of the stones
honestly.
Il bought and paid for every diamond

the young fellow, when asked where he
got the stones. IT'S none of your BUSH
ness where got them, so long as l paid
for them.''
When he finally realized that he would
have to account for his ownership of the
gems the prisoner agreed to demonstrate
eonclusively that he had obtained them
in lawful manner.
Taking the officers to jewelry store
on prominent street he walked up to
the proprietor. with whom he seemed to
De we'll acquainted, and Remarked:
This man seems to think l stole the
diamonds l am wearing. Will you tell
him where and of whom I got them?"
Certainly" answered the jewelry
store man. and he then proce eded to ex-
plain that the young fellow had pur-
chased the diamonds from his firm. pay
ing for each and every one of them.
Noting the look Of incredulity on the
faces of the officers. the proprietor con-
tinued
THE boy bought these diamonds on
the instalment plan, paying for them
just 81 per week. He has been paying
at this rate for nearly years, and now
owes me less than $25. l guess he is all
right as I've always found him square"
The statement of the diamond dealer
explains how it is possible for poor
man to own a good diamond, and there
are hundreds of young fellows in Butte
who have pursued exactly that plan in
getting the stones they own. The money
they have thus invested would, in all
proba bility, otherwise have been wasted.

business center of the city are half
