W4 TER WORKS.

Our neighbor cities on the Fort Smith railway, Morrilton and Rus sellville, have each within the past few days made provision for the installation of waterworks. In tue former city franchise has been granted to private corporation, the capital of which is $50, GOO, and which is composed of local men. Russellville has adopted the mu- nicipal ownership plan and will construct their waterworkS by means of an improvement tax.
 The progressive city of Fort Smith has outstripped all other municipalities in the state in the matter of public improvements. Last Friday she awarded contracts for 6s miles of paved streets and sewers, at a cost of more than one million dollars.
 These things remind us that we, too, must soon begin to plan for such improvements for the city of Conway. The paramount need of the city is waterworks and sew craze system. Without the former we are at the mercy of fire, and without the latter we are at the mercy of disease. Every new house constructed and every fami- ly that moves here makes the need the more imperative. Conway is building up fast, and as the build ings grow closer together, the danger of the spread of disastrous fire is increased. The city is also rapidly growing ill population and every additional person adds to .he amount of e sewage which is now deposited upon the ground through which it must percolate into the wells that furnish us with drinking water.
 Many difficulties, however stand in the way of the construction of watefworks and sewers for this city Conway is unfortunately located j, in this respect. While Morrilton and Russellville are only two or three miles from the Arkansas riv- CT, Conway is seven or eight. To bring water and convey sewage this distance means a vast initial outlay. Private capital will per haps never undertake it, and if done it will doubtless have to be through municipal ownership. The chances are remote that sui fcient supply of water could be ob- tained from deep wells, and even if we succeeded in so obtaining It, the sewage problem would still have to be solved.
 Yet the work must be done, and done at no distant day. A cessa- ton of our growth and a stagna- ton of our enterprise is inevitable, we believe, unless these improve

Claimants Get Out Injunction.

That A. Ii. Mayne of this city, who
bought into the original strike in the Ram

trouble to hold on, is indicated by the fol-
lowing from Wednesdays Carson Appeal:
"A prayer for injunction against John

price advanced from S1.61 to SLIP per short
ton. The larger part of the coal produced
in Montana is sold for locomotive use aid
the improved conditions last year were
doubtless due to increased business With
the transportation companies.
Notwithstanding the increased produce
ton in 1895, the number of men employed
was considerably less than in 1904 while
the average number of working days WIS
the same. The total number of men en-
plOyed in 1908 was 21S1. as compared with
2,505 men in 1904. The average number
of days worked was 243 IN both years. The
average production per man in 1905 was
1881 tons. against 524.5 in 1904.
One mine in Montana was closed from
Jan. to Aug - by a strike which had
begun in August, 1904 This mine employed
total of 200 men, and it is the only
instance of labor trouble reported in Mon
tana during the year.
There were fifty-eight mining machines
in use in Montana in 1905, against fifty
seven in 1904 and sixty-three in 1903 The
machine-mned production in 1905 amount
ed to 752, Cos short tons, or 46 per cent of

MoNTANA's COAL PRODUCTION.
Output and Prices Each Advanced
During Last Year.

The coal output of Montana amounted
in 1905 to 1.6lS.SS2 short tons. valued at
s2S23.350. The coal mining industry of
this state has shown comparatively little
change during the last eleven years Al
though the production in 1905 exhibited
an increase of 1873 short tins, or p per
cent over that of 1904. it exceeded by only
10000 tons the average production during
the preceding ten years and was a lit
tie less than the output reported in 1Sj.
and in 1900. 81
The Montana returns for 1905 do, how
ever. indicate an unusual demand upon
the coal mines of the state in that year.

About a year ago, topographers of the
United States geological survey began
work on map of the desert areas south
and southeast of Tonopah. The map.
which is drawn on scale of about one
inch to four miles, is now finished and
ready for distribution. 1t covers an area
of nearly $500 square miles, about one
eighth of it in California, including that
part of Death valley north of the Fur
race Greek ranch.
Conspicuous on the sheet are the north
ern end OF the Panamint range ard Tin
mountain, Gold mountain, Slate ridge and
the hills to the east and north of Ida.
The town of Ida falls about one-half
mile within the map. From this point
nOrthward to latitude s. degrees the map
joins with the Silver Peak map which was
finished ir 1898. The region east of Gold

ON the edge of the northern boundary, but
the old town lies about three miles TO the
north of it. To the south of the Railroad
valley are the eastern foothills of the
belted range and Oak Spring Butte,

Richfleld, July 15.-William Johnston of
the Copper Butte reports the property in
first-clasS condition. The main tunnel is
now in little over 200 feet and a body of
ore has just been struck which gives
promise of being very high-grade. The
ore is copper glance and small streak
Of IT assays as high as 40 per cent copper
and a large body surrounding this streak
shows values of per cent copper and 81
per ton gold. The company has just pur-
chased some new equipment, including
rails, ere cars etc, and as soon as they
are installed the company will begin
earnest development work. A Wine will
be sunk IN the ore body and a raise will
be started. also, in order to determine
the extent of the ore body and its value.
Mr.. Johnston says the property is looking
more promising than ever before and
should the values held out in this latest
strike regular shipments will be made.

Mckane Is Turned Down.

1t was at this time that Schwab was
again brought into the matter. and that
biggest deal in BulfrOg was put through.
John Mckane again engineered the deal
and he took Jack" Campbell of Reilly
lease fame down TO Bullfrog TO make the
examination of the mine. But Campbell
aid not make the examination. He and
Mckane spent several days riding about
;he district properties, cracking numerous
bottles, feasJing some and making other
arrangements quite necessary for the pre-
liminarieS of a deal of MOntgOmery-Sho
shones magnitude.
McKane started for Tonopah. and on
the way met Malcolm Macdonald, who in
formed him that he was going down TO
take charge of the examination, and that
Jack" Campbell was To have nothing TO
do with it; that Donald Gillies would size
up the property for SchWab. Now, this
was q blow in the face to McKane for.
although il was he who had brought Don
Gillies into the camp Of Schwab. he had
gone his own way about arranging the
deal and now Schwab and Macdonald
had taken the matter out of his hands.
Cost Schwab Nothing.
The deal was put through on terms
based on the report of Gillies, in whom
both sides had implicit confidence In the
condition of things ii is not probable that
Schwab, who is one OF the keenest finan-
ciers in the country, put up a great
amount of money. Those who profess to
know considerable regarding the arrange
ments declare that he did not put up
cent; that the big deal was entirely on
paper as far as SchWab was concerned.
Schwab took over the MOntgOmery-Sh
shone and other properties and guaran-
iced TO place a certain amount of the
stock of new corporation to be formed.
This was satisfactory TO Montgomery and
Macdonald for il meant that they should
he reimbursed for their work and trouble
and still retain a large interest. 1t was
satisfactory to Schwab who got large
block for the use of his name.
That this is really the inside of the deal
seems borne out by the fact that the
stock of the new corporation. embracing
the Montgomery hoshOne. Poaris and
other holdings of Macdonald and Mont
gomery, was Immediately put upon the
eastern market The flQtatiOn of the stock
with Schwab's name behind il was easily
accomplished at $50 share. 1t surely
was one of the biggest deals that had
ever taken place in southern Nevada.
Mines Are Very Valuable.
Experts have appraised the value OF
the Montgomery Shoshone and the PO-
laris group, which adjoints it at figures
running up into the millions. The Mont
gomery- ShOshOne was certainly i'm fine
shape when Donald Gilles made his ex-
animation of il: and not a mining man
had anything but praise for it, Some
nave declared that there is not less than
S2OOcO,0O0 blocked out in ore. But the
great bulk of the ore is of a milling quail
ity. and requires cOnsiderab BILE money to
work IT, The high-grade ore which il
would pay TO ship is regarded only as an
incident in the real value of the property

Mcdonald Buys Out Edwards.

Malcolm Mcdonald bought the half in
terest of Thomas +. Edwards, MOntg Jn-
erys original partner. for 500. 600, paying
$4,000 in cash and giving notes for the
balance to be paid at stated intervals
Work proceeded on the mine under the
dictatorship of Macdonald and MontgOm-
cry. and an effort was made TO sell the
property TO Schwab outright for $4,000 or
81 ,000,001. John Mikane rarried the deal
through, but when arrangements were all
but completed the price was raised anoth-
er quarter of a million, McKane threw
up his hands at this, declaring that
Schwab would have nothing further TO
do with the property.
Then came the grub-stake suit of lin
negan and his associates against Mont
gomery, which tied up the property. The
mine was ready then to send out ship
ment but Macdonald and Montgomery
were enjOined from proceeding any fur
Their. The suit was determined in their
favor, giving them the strongest kind of
title. and the stock of MontgOmery-Sh
shone went up with a bound. There was
stock for sale
