J. L. Stuart, of this city, has dis
covered body of very high grade
galena in the hills about two miles
from Maiden. Mr.. Stuart says he
is not yet prepared to give out any
statement as to the extent of the ore
body, and is not going to make any
claims until more development work
has been done. Experts who have
examined the samples say it is from
Is to 80 per cent galena, carrying con-
siderable value in silver. In spite of
Mr.. Stuart's reticence at this time,
the find is considered by many as one
Of the most important made near Mai
den in good while.
The output of ores from the mines
Of the Butte district during February
was quite large, no diminution in the
total production being shown by the
returns. The Amalgamated maintain.
ed its usual production Of 10000 tons
FER day, total of 100000 for the
month, but United Copper fell bit
short on account of the closing of Its
Rarus mine. This mine is one of the
company's good producers. On Jan
30 an accident occurred by which the
lower levels were flooded with water
necessitating suspension of mining
operations. The mishap was aug
mented by the breaking Of the cable
with the result that no ore was mined
in the property during the entire

month. The total output of the com.
panys mines during the month was
therefore about $4,000 tons, an ay.
erage of 1000 tons per day. The
Clark mines gave up more than 90.
COO tons and the Spectator company
mined about $4,000 tons, u little in ex.
cess OF 500 tons per day. 1t is aver.
aging 600 tons per day this month.
Other companies and lessees had q
good month. The Lexington, Black.
rock, Alice, Old Glory, Raven and 9th.
ers extracted large quantity of cop.
rer-silver ore. The Relns did not do
any mining in February because it,
too. was temporarily disabled by the
flooding of its lower workings, but
before the end of this month it will
again be in the producing class. Some
OF the mines worked under lease
yielded more than their average
monthly quantity of ore, which can
he accounted for in the fact that great
or depth is being attained on them
right along and the large and good
ere bodies are not on the surface
Between 40 and so leased claims in
the district are now yielding CONNER
cial ore in quantities sufficient to pay
the lessees handsome returns.
AS to the disposition of this ore
there is no trouble in finding a mar
ket for it. All that can be mined is
in demand right in Butte, but consid
cradle of it is shipped to the Easl
Helena smelter through the Butte
sampling works.
The Clark mines are giving up an
mi mol S%vy oE Ns1
yer ore, more, in fact than can be
treated in the Clark plant.-Anacon
da Standard.
The story which illustrates the fall
libility of successful mining men was
recently told at meeting, says the
Mining World. Senator Clark, who is
perhaps the wealthiest individual mine
owner in the United States, had a
development option on some claims
near the Copper Queen, in the Bisbee
district, some years ago. His man
ager sunk shaft 400 leet and com
ing upon considerable water the work
was abandoned and the option thrown
up. Recent developments have shown
that shaft was within 60 feet of 8
bed of copper ore, and that instead o1
abandoning the development when
/ striking water it should have been con
tinued, for the finding Of water is 8
fairly certain indication of the prox
unity of ore in that district. It is like
wise said that the Verde mine at Je
rome was twice condemned by lead
ing copper expert before Senator Clarl
took it up. Many instances Of this
kind might be told, all pointing tt
the fact that no mans judgment is in
fallible in the matters Of mining ant
demonstrating that all the mines have
not yet been found, even in district:
long developed and extensively pros
pected.

G. NJ. Nelson, of st. Paul, president
Of the Chicago-Montana Gold Mining
company. which closed down its mines
and mill at Whisky Gulch March 1,
owing its miners and mill men two
months pay, amounting TO something
like $4,000, arrived here from the
east Saturday, accompanied by F. s.
Crawford, of Cleveland, and went out
to Gilt Edge to make an examination
of the property and ascertain the ex-
act shape in which the company's
AFFAIRS now stand. Mr.. Nelson is hope
full Of starting up the property again
very soon. He believes that with the
old debts cleared OF, the company can
go ahead and operate ,ne mines at
a profit. Everyone will hope that he
may bring this about, and no one more
than the workmen who are waiting for
their pay.

chief fame. II was said the new pontiff
was given to seclusion and little used

prised not only his supporters but the
world. With Leo's mind, he appears TO
possess quiet energy and unostenta-

an amiable understanding between the

America, his richest trust. that he will

THEY DID THE WORK.

For expert naval testimony commend
to US Admiral Rojestvensky, who Is
probably the best qualified man in the
world to tell how q modern war feet can
be snnihilated by the enemy. Speaking
with mature deliberation, long after the
battle of the Sea Of Japan, he says the
japanese victory was won entirely by
their guns. None Of the projectiles
penetrated the Russian ships. but the
repeated shock OF the projectiles strik-
ing and bursting against them disjoint-
ed their steel plates, sprung the rivets
and set them to leaking like sieves. so
that the center Of gravity was shifted
and the vessels sank. This effect Of
the firing, he says, was entirely differ
ent from what had been expected We
must regard this tribute to the Japan
ese guns, however, as applying equally
to the men behind the guns, for the
Russian admiral says that had the
crews Of the fleets been of equal value
the result would have been different. As
it was, the Russian crews quickly be-
came demoralized by the awful fire Of
the japanese, while the japanese re-
manned unaffected, continuing their fire
with composure and with mathematical
precision.

affect the business of those interesting
institutions. The rule has hitherto
been "No tickee. no shirtee!" enforced

insisted with force and arms upon secur-
ing "shirtee' without corresponding
surrender of "tiekee," John promptly
tripped him prone and began applying
the hottest smoothing irons to various
exposed parts of his anatomy with
effect. But a natural corollary
Of that rule would be "No shirtee, no
washee!' and q sequel of that would be
NO washee, no laundree" And ii no
shirts were presented to be washed, and
there was therefore no washing. and in
turn, Of course, no more laundries, what |
