Y. l., JON ES,
 Investment Broker,
 No. 10 s. Perry Street.

I have recently returned from Montana, where I went with practically the same gen tlemen who compose the Board of the Bull lychoop Gold Mining Company, which is so highly prized by stockholders in Montgom- cry. Owing to the death of MT. P. L. Kimberly and the fact that his estate was in the courts these men secured an option on his stock in the Kimberly Montana Gold Company. and this visit was to examine the property and buy it if satisfactory
 The Montana Consolidated was formed for this purpose and the stockholders in the Kimberly Montana and adjoining proper ties became stockholders in the new com pany.
 This is a very highly improved mining property. It is earning more than s4o'0ooo per month. It Is earning more than s4O,ooo power for the operation of 1000 stamps 1t has the largest deposit of gold bearing ore in this country. barring none. For a short while the stock will sell at so cents it, par value 81. co. It pays 1 per cent. divi- dend every month It will be selling at par within four or six months at DO per share wihtin a year.
 It is only a question of comparatively short time when the earning power or the property will be enormously increased To get the stock requires quick action. -tf

MEETS DEATH ON GALLOWS
WILLIAM WILLIAMS EXECUTED
AT ST. PAUL FOR MURDER
OF JOHNNY KELLER.

st. Paul, Feb. 14.-With protesta-
tions of innocence upon his lips Will
lam Williams was hanged at the coun-
ty Jail at 1891 a. NJ. for the murder of
John Keller April 13, 1905. Williams
was also accused of killing the boys
mother. but was not tried on that
charge.
Fourteen and one half minutes after
the drop fell he was pronounced dead
by the examining surgeon.
Williams went to the scaffold with
fortitude, willingly accorded with all
suggestions and did not finch or
quiver during the ordeal. His last
words were: Gentlemen, you are
witnessing an unjust act John Keller
was my best friend and did not kill
him"
W hen the ia ira fell the rope stretched
oyel. six inches, allowing the con
denlned mans feet to touch the floor.
Three deputy sheriffs took hold of the
rope and raised the body and Will

HOUSE OF COMMONS MEETS.
James William Lowther Unanimously
Reelected Speaker.

ft. = ~ !
London, Feb. 14.-James William
LoWther was unanimously reelected
speaker of the house of commons dur
ing the day. In accordance with prece-
dent there was no opposition. The
house afterwards adjourned without
transacting any other business. The
swearing in OF members will occupy
the rest of the week.
The new house of commons meets
under conditions of unusual interest
and evidence Of this was seen IN the
wild rush for seats at midnight, when
the spectacle at the entrance of the
houses of parliament at Westminster
resembled the entry to a pit on the
first night of a play by popular
author. Nearly 300 of the members
are entirely new to parliamentary life
as a result OF the rpheaval caused by
the general election and the house of
commons police had difficult task in
differentiating between members and
outsiders .yho attempted to take ad-
vantage of the occasion to view the
proceedings.
The formal opening of parliament
will take place Feb 10, when the
kings speech will be delivered.

BoDY LIES IN STATE.
Danes Given Final Opportunity to
View Dead Monarch.

Copenhagen, Feb. 14.-The coffin
containing the body of King Christian
was removed at a. m. from the pal
ace to the Christianborg church, where
it will lie in state until Feb. Is. The
crown prince and other members of
the royal family, the court officials and
army and navy officers followed the
hearse on foot through the crowd-lined
streets. After a brief service at the
church the royal party returned to the
palace, leaving the body in charge Of
a guard of army and navy officers, who
will remain day and night stationed
at the head and foot Of the catafalque.
The public will be admitted to the
church at stated hours daily.
Hours before the church was opened
the vicinity was densely thronged
with those desirous Of paying their
last respects to the body of the old
monarch. The line from the church
door was fully mile long and con-
stantly lengthening when the doors
we're opened to the public and thou
sands passed the bier during the sub
sequent two hours.

WILL REFUSE
THE DEMANDS
Hard Coal Operators Assert That the
Mine Workers Must Back Down
or Strike.
FULL UNDERSTANDING Is REACHED

New York, Feb. 1.-THE cca1 mine
operators have come to a full under.
standing and have agreed as to the
general policy they will pursue at the
conference with the committee Of the
Mine Workers union to be held here
Thursday. The presidents Of the coal
carrying roads are unwilling to dis
cuss for publication the questions lat
issue between themselves and hthe
United Mine Workers prior Ito their
meeting with Mr. Mitchell and his
associates, but their position, elected
by careful canvass, is, as one president
put it, such that "the miners will have
to strike or back down.
I'VE do not propose he said, ito
accede to their demands in any way
and do not see what else they can do
but strike. They are coming into this
conference to demand an eight hour
day and recognition Of the union, Be
sides other things. It was clearly
shown in the report of the anthracite
strike commission in 1902 that the
miners do not work eight hours day
and the claim is only a disguised de-.
mand for higher rate of wages per
hour. The anthracite commission also
decided that it was fhe light 0f the
operators to employ either union or
nonunion miners without discrimina-
ton. These are. the two main points
of the demand the miners committee
will make and both have been already
decided by an eminent commission and
have been adhered to Vigorously -
