GAlNESBOROuCH
PORTRAIT HOAX
/. S35 PICTURE FOISTED ON THE
PUBLIC AS WORK OF THE
GREAT MASTER.

New York, April 16-Henri Pine Dubois
Advertiser that the painting known un-
til it's recovery lately as the stolen
GainesborOugh, is not Gainesborough.
He says:
THE original portrait is not Of
Georgiana, the beautiful duchess of
Deyonshre. but of her friend, Lady
Betty Foster"
Another says the picture is not pOr-
trait of any duchess of Devonshire.
1T was the property in 1S41 of a Miss
Annie Maginnis. a school mistress, who
gave it for sale to John Bentley, a
dealer, who sold it for s35 to Mrs. Win
nellis. The Winnellis collection was sold
at Christie in 1876. There the portrait
appeared for the first time as Gaines
borough's duchess of Devonshire. Miss
Annie Maginnis had always said 1t was
q portrait of one of her relatives. 1t
was a full length portrait but she cut
off the legs in order that the canvas with
it's frame might be fitted over a mantel
piece
Bentley referred to the picture as
THE Blue Lady because of the color of
its petticoat and SASH Bentley's
daughter said, when it was alleged at
Christie's that it had suffered in restora- :
ton that the cheeks We're too red The
critics then said the original work might
have been begun by Raphael or by Ve-
laSuueZ."

Helena, April 16.-Another important
step was taken tolay in the contest be-
tween the Boston & Montana and the
Montana Ore Purchasing Company for
possession of the Pennsylvania mine.
The Boston & Montana filed a motion in
the supreme court for an increase Of the
bond given by the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing Company to cover ore to the amount
og $500, 600 which is alleged to have been
taken out in excess of the $950,OO0 bond
already given. 1t is reported that j. j.
Mediation attorney for the Montana Ore
Purchasing Company, will this afternoon
move to dissolve the injunction against
work by the Montana Ore Purchasing
Company.
The motion to increase the bond al
leges that at the present rate ore to the
value of $1.250O00 will have to be taken
out of the mine by the end of April, and
asks for additional bond to cover the
value of the ore heretofore and hereafter
to be extracted. 1t is supported by the
affidavit of Frank Klepetko, manager OF
the Boston & Montana and the Ana
conda, who says the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company has made the monthly
statements required by order OF the
court from June, 1900, to February, 1901,
inclusive copies of those to the end Of
October having been attached to a for
mer affidavit, and those for November
December, January and February are
attached to the present one. Takln:s
them as correct, Klepetko has estimated
the net value of the ore extracted ani
finds th,.t, mined and reduced at reason-
able cost and sold at the market value
of the product during the months mon
toned the net value would be $1,O46934.
He is Informed by agents of the Boston
and Mont ana that ore of like value and
quantity were extracted during March
and April, and that during those months
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
has extracted ore to the value of SILL
600, making a total of $1,257,934 He has
allowed $3.50 ton for mining and hoi ST.
ing, reasonable sum for smelling and
reducing at Butte, freight on the prod
uct to the east, and refining and selling
it there, his figures being based on the
market value of copper and silver.
The appeal of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company from the refusal of
the district court to grant an injunction
against the erection of the Berkeley shaft
in the middle of the road across the
Berkeley ground, which had been used
by the Rarus people, was argued in the
supreme court by l.. o. Evans for the
Butte and Boston and j. ]. Mediation
for the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany. The road had been used on suf-
ferance, and the shaft was raised to
the surface in the middle and the con-
struction of the shaft house and ore bins
started. A restraining order against this
work was obtained. but the injunction
was refused and the restraining order
dissolved.

WHOLE LIST.
CLARK INTERESTS WILL JOIN
Amalgamated Company Will Extend
Its Scope so as to Cover the
Whole Field,

New York, April 16-The Tribune sayss
1T can be announced on the best ot
authority that all preliminary arrange
ments have been made for the acquisitions
of the stock of the Boston and Montana
Copper and Silver company and the Butte
and Boston Mining company by the AM
algamated Copper company.
'Rumors of the impending deal have
filled the air of Wall street for several
days, but it was not until late last eve-
ming that details Of the project became
known.
The proposition now made is that the
stockholders of the Butte and Boston de-
posit with the authorized trustees 1885,
600 shares of the outstanding 100000
shares. These shares are Of the par value
of $40 and will be exchanged for Amats
gamated stock or paid for in cash at
$3.50, if the deal goes through. Ten
days from April % will be allowed in
which to carry out the plan.
I'm the case of the Boston AMI Mon.
tana, a deposit of 100000 shares is re-
quired out of a total of 15O, 600 outstand-
ing of par value of s25 each. Thess
shares are to be exchanged for ANAL
gamated shares or for 1915 in cash If the
deal Is accomplished within ten days.
There is a general belief among those
Well informed on the copper situation
that the foregoing plans are only pre-,
liminary to a much larger expansion Of
the Amalgamated company, which aims
to take in, eventually, the rich mines
of northern Michigan and Arizona as
well as those of Montana,
This would give the company prac-
tical control Of the copper situation in
this country, with the exception OF the
Heinze holdings in Butte. Senator w.
A. Clark and his sons are believed to he
in on the new deal"

and when the trainmen settle their diff
culties with the company it will wind
up the conferences between the Labor
