Roosevelt is in the Businesses of yell

teen days he expects to enjoy n com.

duties. He will be in almost daily

referred to him.
In company with John Burroughs.
naturalist, who accompanied him from
Washington, he will closely study the
nature of the various animals that in.
habit the park. The president has
looked forward to this outing for some
time and he was in a particularly hap
py frame of mind when he led the
cavalcade into the park. Every trail
leading into the reserve Is closely
guarded, and no one will be allowed
to disturb the presidents solitude.
His headquarters will be at the home
of Major Pitcher, superintendent Of
the park. A number of camps have
been established in different local..

president from time to time.
The special train bearing the presi.

O'Clock this afternoon, and it was met
by a detachment of the Third cavalry
and a number of cowboys. Major
Pitcher was also on hand to welcome
the president. Luncheon was served

Bertram Wilson Once More Becomes
the Keeper Of His Son.
The case of Bertram Wilson vs..
Hattie Dunn, in which the plaintiff Sc
cured a habeas corpus for the purpose
of getting possession Of his child.
which was in the possession Of the
defendant, was finally settled last
Wednesday afternoon when Judge
Cheadle ordered the woman to deliv-
err the boy into the custody of his
father. The case is a peculiar one
and has been in the court for some
time past. Last winter Wilson and
his family, all theatrical people, were
engaged at the Tivoli theatre in this
city . During the time the little boy,
who was about three years of age,
was taken sick and as the father was
unable to give him the proper atten-
ton he gave il into the care of Hat.
tie Dunn, a proprietress of one of the
houses of the bad lands of Lewistown.
The woman took a great fancy to the
little fellow and bought him clothes,
paid out a considerable sum for doc
tors bills, and otherwise treated him
as well as 1t was possible for one of
her class to treat him. Along in
March. the father, who was then in
Butte, desired to have his child sent
back to him, but when he communi.
Gated with the Dunn woman she re.
fused to deliver him up. The father
then secured a writ of habeas cor.
pus, but only after a hard legal bat
tie by the attorneys for the respective
parties.
At the time the writ was granted
the child was very sick and the judge
decided to allow It to remain in the
custody of the Dunn woman until II
was able to be moved. That time

gave the father permission to take
his child. also giving him a bit OF free
advice as to the duties of a parent
toward a child, and pointing out how
Wilson had utterly failed TO perform
this duty. Two of the officers went
down Saturday evening and took the
child. but only after violent protesta-
tons and fearful lamentations of the
inmates of the house.

seen to set the child up on the bar

guardian of any child, but on the other
hand 1t was intolerable to think of a
child growing up in an establishment
such as is conducted by his adopted
mother. The little boy is abnormally
bright for one of his age and II Is very
much to be regretted that he could

crease of more than one-half yer any
other year.
This is the statement of George
Stenfel of London, England. one of he
members of the syndicate. who Is ON
the coast on a sightseeing trim.
Mr.. Stenfel is returning home af.
ter visiting Yogo and arranging for
the working Of the mines to their full
capacity this year.
He arrived in the city yesterday
and today will go to Vancouver. b. C.
where he has friends, and from there
will go to Montreal and sail for Eng.
land.
Besides being n of the heaviest
owners in the Montana sapphire mines
Mr.. Stenfel is also interested heavily
in the South African diamond mines.
1.-THE Montana sapphire is the best
that is found in any part of he world"
said Mr.. Stencil at the Butler yester.
day. 1T commands a better price
than any other gem of that kind and
is more sought after. Last year the
output of our mines in Montana was
about 100000 karats, which is the
best year since the properties came
into our possession. This year we
have arranged for the working of the
properties at a greater capacity and
unless our judgment is mistaken we
will take out at least 300, 900 karats.

Deal Declared OFF.

II is a~uthoratively announced that
the big mining deal, in which the Ken
dali properties were involved, is off
30 far as the Chicago parties are con.
cerned. According to the agreement,
made when the negotiations were be-
gun, the company was to have until
the first of March to make examina-
ton of the properties. At the expira-
ton Of that time all of the reports
had not been completed and In extern
sion Of thirty days, or until April LIST,
was granted. On that date the syn
dictate failed to make the payment
binding the bargain and negotiations
were declared closed. The deal was
one Of the most gigantic ever attempt
ed in the history of western mining
and 1t does not detract in the least
from the promise of the properties
that 1t was not consummated. The
raising Of $1,000, 900 in cold cash is no
small undertaking for even such multi
millionaires as Gates and Drake, and
at the present time eastern money
is not as loose as it has been for the
past year. All of these conditions
were factors which figured in the deal
and were responsible for its failure.
1t has been a question with those
who have looked thoroughly into the
situation, whether or not the sale
would have resulted advantageously
to the interests of Kendall, Lewis
town and others affected by the min
ing industry. Probably it would have
resulted in a rapid development
of the r bearing properties in the
North Moccasin district and conse-
quently greater business activity for
awhile, but in the long run very lit
tie benefit would have accrued to the
county from the sale. The present
owners are all pushing, progressive
men, several of them residents of this
county, and they will waste no time
In developing the properties to the
greatest possible degree.

ed from Fergus county, which has be-
a large producer of gold since
the recent opening of the mines in
the Kendall and Gilt Edge districts.
The reason for the greater showing
made by Fergus county at the assay
office than from Lewis and Clarke
and Granite counties is because of the
fact that Fergus county properties
are worked by mills and cyanide pro-
cesses, while in the other counties a
large proportion of the gold ores go
to the shelters so their product does
not reach the assay office at this point.

Mininu Field UndeveIoped.


1t is a well known fact that less
than one-half per cent. of the known
mineral grounds in Montana have ever
been worked, and that thousands of
acres in we'll known mineral districts
have never been prospected. The first
rush to Montana was to the rich plac-
ers and they were worked individually
for several years, while no attention
was paid to quartz properties.
In early days quartz development
and mining was handicapped by the
expense of getting in machinery, and
by the still greater drawback of find
ing reduction works to treat the ores.
At the first, Montana ores we're sent
to Swansea, Wales, by OK team and
river and ocean, and only unusually
high grade ores would pay the freight
charges.
Now there are mills at the develop
ed mines and smelters right at the
doors with reasonable treatment
charges and rail freight rates, and.
as a consequence, there is more devel-
opment and more prospecting than
ever before, and the efforts of the
p%rospectors and miners are being re-
warded by profitable returns.
Mines that have laid idle for years
are being developed and worked at a
profit because of the changed condi-
lions, and low grade properties that
once would not have been considered
are now giving good returns.
Lewis and Clarke county, of which
Helena is the capital, is one Of the
richest gold and silver producing dis
tricts in this country. The produc-
ton of these precious metals for the
last two years in this county. exceeded
the total output of gold and silver in
the states Of Oregon and Idaho, and
the production for the coming year
will be largely increased.
