the MONTANA SITUATION.

The great State of Montana stands on
TIC edge of the most serious situation
in it's history. As a result of the liti-
cation instituted by F. Augustus Heinze
against the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, $4,000 men, $500 of them in
Butte alone, have been thrown out of
employment for an indefinite period. 1t
may be many months before they are
rc-cEployed. In the meantime the
hundreds of thousands of dollars they
earn every month will be cut off.
The Salt Lake Herald says the out
look for the State is SO gloomy that the
most direful predictions will seem well
founded. Merchants, business men,
professional men, I women, children,
people in every walk of life are sure to
feel immediately the result of Judge
Clancy's decision in favor of Heinze.
Credits will be cut off I; with the loss of
credits will come a shortage of the food
supply in many a little home. There
can hardly fail to be an exodus of work.
ing people from Montana, and a trail of
ruined merchants will be blazed from
one end of the State to the other.

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.

The Denver Mining Reporter, COM
menting on the movement in silver
says: Silver prices continue to advance
steadily, quotations for bar silver at
this writing being above go cents per
ounce. Within the past year shipments
of silver from London to India, China
and the Straits Settlements were Of the
value of e5, 438, 040, which was a consid-
cradle increase over those of the pre-
vious year. The coinage of silver by
our own Government for the month of
September, 1909, represents 1907 ,468.
The coinage for the Philippines for the
same month was 1904, 566 pesos and
1893 smaller Gems. Between October
1st and 18th tho Treasury Department
purchased SEQ, coo ounces of silver at
slightly below 60 cents per ounce. Ex-
ports of silver from all United States
ports for the year amounted to $22, $40,
400. imports being $14, 1864, 587. These
figures afford some idea OF the move
ments of the white metal and the chief
sources of demand. There is a general
opinion that producers a feel safe
that the price will not in the near future
fall below go cents, with a strong prob
ability of further advance. twill not
be surprising to see the price reach 65
cents and remain around that figure
with some stability.

Dix w. Smith Says Mining Promoter
Is a C0nspirator.

Dix W. Smith of Elmira, New York,
one of the promoters of the famed Nc
Kinley Mining Company and Chain
nan Mining Company stock deals, has
evidently ran across a mining promoter
that can teach him a few tricks in the
promoting business. The following
from the San Francisco Call of October
90 will no doubt cause q broad smile to
cover the faces of o number of White
Pine people:
Dix w. Smith, a stakeholder in the
Sunset Mining Company, of which G.
w. Rumble, who was arrested q few
days ago on a charge of fraudently us
ing the United States mails, is secretary
and Ira A. Pease is president, brought
the affairs of the mining company into
the Superior Court yesterday by filing
suit for an accounting and for the ap-
pointment of a receiver. The defend.
ants in the suit are Rumble and Pease
and two other directors of the company,
Frank Rogers and Henry Armstrong.
On the filing of the suit Judge Murasky
issued an order restraining Rumble and
Pease and the other defendants from
using the funds of the company pend
ing the determination of the truth Of
Smiths charge of conspiracy and fraud.
Smith, who is the owner of 1000 shares
of stock in the claims that
Pease and Rumble have conspired to
defraud the stockholders. He says that
for the purpose of inducing further in
vestments in the concern, they have
used to pay dividends part of $200, 900,
he alleges was received by them for the
sale of 100, 900 shares of stock, and they
have converted the balance of the
money to their own use.

Important Mining Decision,

A contest between homestead claim.
ants and miners we q tract Of land at
Poverty Flat, Calaveras County. Cal.
was recently decided in favor of the
homesteaders. The Land Office rule is
that it must be shown by direct evi.
dence that land is more valuable for
mining than agricultural purposes to
States patented titles, and must be
shown to contain pay gravel ore. That
the land had once been valuable as min.
ing property will not suffice. and the
fact that it has been once prospected
and abandoned makes the proof of its
non-mineral character with Land Office
officials almost conclusive.

Death of Mrs. Berning.

Mrs. Henry Berning died Sunday
night at Gardnerville, Douglas County.
A few days ago there were born to Mrs.
Berning three daughters, one of which
died after a short time. Up to the
death of one of her infants the young
mother apparently was getting along
nicely and NJ apprehension was felt as
to her recovery. From that time, how
ever. she has been gradually sinking.
Mrs. Berning was formerly Miss Viola
Bigelow Of Carson, and was about 30
years of age at the time of her death.
About one year ago she became the
wife of Henry Berning, a worthy
young man of Gardnerville.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Communication from Chief Holmes
Regarding Mineral Exhibits.


The SENTINEL is in receipt of a cir
cular letter from Joseph A. Holmes,
Chief of Mines and Metallurgy of the
st. Louis Exposition, 1904. in reference
to exhibits of minerals and ores. The
following is quoted from Mr.. Holmes
communication, which is pertinent to
the proposed exhibit from Nevada:
"At former Expositions the exhibits
of minerals and pres made by State
Commissions have not been as compre-
hensive or as representative as they
should have been. Neither the mining
engineer of to-day nor the general pub
lie is impressed with seeing large speci.
mems of rich ores What the
engineer desires to see-and it is on his
information hat capitalists make in
vestments-is an exhibit which will
illustrate not only the average rich
ness of the deposit, but which will
show the country rock contiguous
to such deposits. The country rock Is
the basis upon which the mining en-
gineer makes his Investigations, and IL
the above plan is carried out. co-opera-
ton in which is invited, those inter-
ested in mining will have opportunity
to examine the country rock of famous
mines of one State by comparing and
contrasting them with mines in other
sections"
