his Rarus mine located in such way
that they belonged either to the Boston

this case was tried awarded the mine

In order to secure ore to keep his
smelter busy Heinze leased mine
from James A. Murray, and the lltiga-
ton which has made his name so wide
ly known may be said to date from the
day of the execution OF that lease. II
was not long before Murray, dissatls-
fled with Helnze's conduct OF the mine
and asserting that he was not getting
his fair share of percentage, brought
suit to annul the lease, obtaining an in
junction which shut down the mine.
The case was eventually settled in pri-
vate. but the ball Of ceaseless litigation
had been set in motion. Heinze had
purchased the Rarus mine and, greatly
to the surprise of experts who be-
lieved the mine exhausted, was soon
extracting considerable ore from it.
Then Helnze set on foot a policy of ex-
pansion invading British Columbia,
where he secured railroad charters and
big grants Of timber and mineral lands

be deemed the climax In the sensation

years between the Standard OIL inter-
ests and F. Augustus Heinze, the pug
naclous young millionaire who has been
cutting wide swath in the commercial
aud political world of Montana almost
ever since he first invaded the copper
country in 1889. The decision of Judge
Clancy granting an injunction restrain
ing the Boston and Montana Mining
company and the Parrot Mining compa-
ny from paying dividends to the Anal
yamated Copper company was the proX-
innate cause Of the cessation of mining
operations in Butte and was also Of mo-

fact that Dowlelsm must be reckoned
one Of the most prominent Of twentieth
century cults. History furnishes the
solution Of the problem From time
immemorial there have been people

accept doctrines and dogmas, no mat

gated by man Of powerful or at least
unique personality This applies not
only to religious but to medical ques-
tons, and when the two elements are

comes all the greater. At the same
time 1t must be said that medico-reli-
gious cults have frequently been pro-
ductive OF much good in the way OF
casting light upon the relations of mind
and matter Too often, however, such
cults are carried to extremes when
they become menaces to society.
OF medical cults pure and simple his
tory furnishes US with striking exam
pies, apart from the sun cures, the
barefoot cures the back to nature cures
and the light cures Of these latter days.
Perhaps the most noteworthy instance
OF a medical cult was that propagated
by Mesmer, whose singular practices
led DR.. Braid to the discovery Of hyp-
notism as a therapeutic agency. Mes
mer therefore must be credited with
having founded cult which was ulti-
mately productive Of good.

cries as 1t does by centuries The mar
velous feats of the falsirs of India may
be attributed to hypnotism. According
to one writer, there is sect in Egypt
which has practiced hypnotism for 1900
years. Arabic sorcerers draw on the
hand circle with black spot in the
center, and by gazing at it fixedly soon
pass into the hypnotic state. Moroc-
can marabouts superinduce the sleep
by gazing at bottle filled with water
and placed in front of lamp, the eyes
being fixed attentively on the light To-
cused in the bottle. But 1t remained
for the nineteenth century to introduce
the wonders Of hypnotism to peoples
other than the oriental.
A medical charlatan of ancient days
