Decision of Supreme Court Says lie Is
Sole Owner Of the Winnie Ncaly.

HELENA, April 2O.-By an opinion
handed down today by the supreme
court, from which Chief Justice Brant.
ly d%issented, Heinze is adjudged the
true owner of the Minnie Healy mine,
variously estimated 70 be worth be-.
tween ten and fifteen million dollars.
The case has been before the court on
an appeal from the decision Of Judge
William Clancy of Silver Bow, since
March II, 1904. The court upheld
Judge Clancy's decision, which main.
tanned in general that the contract
made by Miles Finlen for the transfer
of the mine was valid and binding in
every particular.
This is the second time the case has
been before the supreme court. the last
time it was sent back for a new trial
because of what the court called the
improper conduct Of the trial judge,
Edward w. Harvey. This finally and
forever disposes of the case, which
has been in the courts of Montana
since June Il, 1893.
The claim OF Heinze was that he Sc
cured the mine from Miles Finlen on q
verbal contract; that Finlen agreed to
sign the papers but failed to do so;
that he (Heinze went ahead on the
mine after getting Finlen's word, and
that he uncovered rich ore bodies, af'
ter which Finlen refused to sign the
papers.
Finlen, backed by the Amalgamated,
denied that any contract had beer
made, or that he had ever promised
Heinze to sell him the mine. He con
tended that Heinze vas permitted up
on the mine for the purpose of serving
some of his interests in his contro
versy with the Amalgamated company
Heinze must pay Finlen $4,000, tn
original agreed purchase price, ant
he will then have undisputed title tt
the noted mine.

When You're Busy.

There's a glory, poets tell us,
In the green primevai wood
Where no thing, can come to cross us;
Where no care can e'er intrude,
Where no gossip can confound US,
And no milliner come near;
There is rest and peace and CONTEXT
Yea, forever and a year,
There the butterflies do futter
Up and down the sylvan aisles,
There the sunlight filters softly
To the ground in golden smiles.
There the wild birds sing their loudest
Where no footstep doth intrude,
In the deep primeval forest
Where no mortal doth intrude.
There behind each tree a songster
Wakes the echoes with its trill,
Not butcher or a baker
Is concealed there with a bill,
And the winds are all perfumey
And the longest days seem best,
In the cool primeval forest
Where a harriet soul may rest.
But the business man can't HE him
To the green inviting wood,
He must stay at home and labor
Where the butt-ins can intrude;
What man needs is not a forest
With its pleasant feathered din,
But some plan to stop the butter
AT his stunt of butting in.
