many properties Of lesser note which are
being developed as fast as their owners
means will permit. Many Of these would
welcome capital to develop more rapidly.
Northwest Of Bald Butte are the Stemple
and Jay Gould districts. Northwest Of
Stemple and on the other side Of the main
range are copper and silver camps, both
producers of high grade ore.
Southwest Of Helena is the Red Noun
tain district at the head of Ten-Mile creek,
connected by twenty miles Of railroad
with Helena. The ores in this district
are a combination of gold, silver, copper
and lead. With the high grade ore that
stands the cost of smelling are found large
bodies Of low grade ore requiring concen-
tration before treatment. A number of

While the farm lands of this county are
perhaps better occupied than many other,
there is still room for thrifty and intelli-
gent farmers. The openings are espe-
cially good for those who will undertake
mixed farming with a reasonable amount
of capital. The markets at the. mines
are always short of good butter, fresh
| eggs, vegetables, poultry and the minor
products of the farm. Many hundred car
loads of hog products are imported and
distributed from Helena. An excellent sys-
| tenn of roads affords access to all the
mining camps, and the farmer can deliver
| his goods direct to the consumer without
paying railroad freights.
A large canal has been completed by the

The Northern Pacific and Great North

and a system of branch lines radiates
from Helena to the mining camps of
Marysville, Rimini, Ell<horn, Wickes and
Boulder, assuring ample communication
with all parts Of the county. When rail-

CHICAGO WOMAN WHIPS

CHICAGO. Dec. 1s.-Pursued by a young
woman welding lash with no little dexterity
and force, colored man named Brent ran
through the streets near Michigan avenue and
END street early today, begging for mercy and
impioring her to desist.
The young woman who inflicted the thrashing
upon the large colored man proved TO be Miss
Lillian P1ummer, employed in the ticket office
OF the South Side Elevated railroad at Quincy
street and Fifth avenue. Several morning, ac-
cording to Miss Piummer's story, the man had

SECTION TEN is KILLED
IN THE FRANCHISE BILL

Section 10 of the amended tax franchise
bill has been killed, and the bill Is now
being prepared for the signature Of the
governor without the objectionable
amendment.
The Journal on Friday afternoon called
the attention Of the legislators and the
public as well to the snare believed to be
set in the amended bill, and particularly
in reference to section 10, which provided
that where corporations owning franchises
pay an occupation tax or a percentage Of
gross receipts. such tax should be deduct
ed from the amount due under the tax
franchise bill.
This was believed by City Attorney
Mayson to have the effect Of creating
class legislation and hullifying the whole
measure Further. II this were the object
OF the section, 4 would not have been
the first time that similar legislation had
been killed by the insertion Of provisions
to render an act ineffective.
This has now been done, and 1t is believ-
ed that the act, when signed by the gov
ernor. will hold.
The conference committee first amended
the section by providing that the amount
Of franchise tax should be deducted from
the percentage or gross receipts tax.
The senate. however, took the matter
up in the meantime. and by vote of 20
to 16 withdrew from its former position,
so that the entire section was stricken.
The author or the bill, Hon. Murphy
Gambler, of DeKalb, worked untiring for
it's passage and followed it closely during
its travels through committees and from
one branch of the legislature to the other.

HOME FOR ANOTHER
oFFENSE.

President Lyman Hall. of the Tech,
says that young Stewart Shaw, Of Macon,
was not suspended for 30 days for COM
planning about cold oatmeal at breakfast
several days ago, but for another Offense.
1t is further stated by President Hail
that he invites complaints and sugses-
tons from the students who live in the
dormitory and that he is glad to receive
them at any time He, however, declines
to discuss the cause OF young Shaw's en-
forced rest further than to say it was not
cold oatmeal that caused it
Some say now that Shaw was not exact
ly on time at the hour for breakfast and
that all places in the mess hall were tax
en-, being necessary on account OF the
large crowd OF boys TO set three tables,
and when informed that he could not be
seated when ne appeared at the door he
said things to the official in charge who
reported him to the faculty.
President Hall also says there never
have been any suspensions for complaint
about cold oatmeal, or anything else cold
or hot at the college dormitory mess hall.
Prof. X. @. Matheison, OF the Tech, who
is in charge of the dOrmitry, also denies
the report. He could not be seen last night
but in the afternoon stated that there was
no foundation for such stories.
