WILL EXCLUDE MAC LANE BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY

I LIBRARIAN John r. Russell of the
Butte Public Library will ask the
board of trustees to exclude THE
Story Of Mary MacLane" from the
library
Emphatic will be the protest of the
librarian against the admission Of the
book to the library.
Mr. Russell will declare that the Ian
suage about marriage and virtue and the
blasphemous statements in the book
would be harmful to young persons, and
that the trustees should do their share
In the work Of suppressng the book.
So emphatic will be the protests of Mr..
Russell against Mary MacLane's book
that it is believed that the trustees will
abide by his decision as they have done
once before.
When the Russian novel, Tonnage
dyeem" was issued by Scrbner, a copy
tention was called to only one or two
portions in the book but they were sufi-
cient for its exclusion from circulation in
the library.
Mary MacLane's book reeks with
abominable language, every page of 1t,
While the Russian novel has only few
passages, said Mr.. Russell.
IT Is believed that the exclusion of the
MacLane book from the library win
counteract the evil impression which
people viii gain Of the city through read
ing the book. 1T will demonstrate that
the book does not receive the indorse-
ment of Butte people, and that the pic
ture Miss MacLane has drawn of Butte
and its citizens is false.
Il shall most cert iplv rooop,n,an1 -
the trustees that the book be excluded
from the library" said Mr. Russell to-
day, Il have read some OF the passages
from the book, and these alone are sum
cient to earn its exclusion from eyery
library in the United States.
There are passages that rail at
everything held sacred. 1t cries out
against marriage and SCOTS at virtue.
1t declares sin and badness alone the
key to happiness.
'lf there was nothing else in the book
but this. 1t would he more than waG
necessary to exclude 1t from the Butte
library. But this is the trend OF the
whole book There are continual refer
enees to sin, and her declarations in
favor of the devil and her declarations
against God are repeated again and
again.
II cannot see where the book can.
not help but he harmful. It is in
furious to the morals Of the city.
such book as this is not only harm.
full to young people but to grown people.
1T is not question for me to decide if
the girl Is genius, or If she is insane. I
can only be guided by her book.
when a book reeks with scandal.

ANOTHER MINING COMPANY FOR THE
CLIFTON DISTRICT.
Some few weeks since the ERA made
mention OF the arrival in Clifton of l..
L. Beauchamp, a mining man who has
had much experience in Mexico, New
Mr.. Beauchamp stated that he CON
sidered this district the greatest inlu-
eral belt on the continent. He was
the first mining man TO note the strong
similarity between the structural for
nation OF the upper end OF the Green
lee district and that OF Cripple Creek.
At that time he predicted that the
Greenlee district would prove another
Cripple Creek, and he is now backing
his judgment with good hard cash, as
he has been instrumental in forming a
strong company of Texas bankers and
other capitalists. and with their repre-
sentative, j. Porter Bender, BE return
cd last week and through L. F. Sweet
ing closed deal for the Polaris group
OF nineteen gold claims, upon several
os which a considerable amount OF de-
Yelopment work has been done, and
from which ore rich in both gold and
silver has been shipped. The deal al
so includes millsite on the San Fran
cisco river, and a 20-stamp gold mill at
Evans point, which will soon be re-
modelled and in condition for the re-
ductiOn OF ores. The ERA is not in
formed as to the consideration for this
valuable group of claims, but knowing
something of the true value of the
property, it does not hesitate to say
that the sale was one of Importance.
The Polaris Mining and Milling COM
pany will be organized as soon as the
proper legal requirements for the for
nation Of the company can be complied
with, when the property viii be trans
fered to the company and the work of
exploiting and developing the property
commenced. Within thirty days the

such a large aud promising group OF
claims, which are most favorably stu
ated for economic working. With
proper management the company GER
taiuly has a bright future before it.

It is rumOred that there are two
cases of black smallpox in Clifton, but
learn anything definite in rcga"d
thereto. If this rumor is well founded
it behooves our people to adopt active
measures for the control of the disease.
The disease which has been prevailing
in this section for some time past was
so very mild as to be of little incOn-
venleuce. and free from results OF n
serious nature, but black smallpox is
usually!of a serious mattcr,and if it once
gets started many deaths are almost
sure to follow.

The ERA is informed by private ad-
vices from Silver City that liens are
being filed on the property OF the Cliff
ton Copper Co.. and at the present
time it will require about $4,000 to
pay Off the Indebtedness of the COM
pany. 1t appears that no definite plans
have yet been formed by the company
for future action. If something IS not
soon done the costs in proceedings
against the property will amount to a
considerable sum. Clifton people are
largely interested in this property, and
il they save their investments 1t be-
hooves them to get together, and de-
wise ways and means for starting up
the mill. This property seems to have
had hard run of luck, principally due
to Incompetent mill management, but
there are many who believe that it can
yet be made dividend payer.
