No Probability of Serious Competition
and Prices Are Steadily Going
Higher.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Messages re-
ceived from London by diamond importers
in the last few days say that the ansorp-
ton of the Premier mines by the Debeers
diamond trust already reported is only
nne of n number of developments as
n result of which the big ~companys coli
troll of the business in all parts or the
world is now said to be absolute.
Besides getting control of the Premier
mine the trust has closed contracts under
which 1t will take for Il term OF years the
output Of the two other Independent mines
Voorspoed and the Roberts Victor.
One Of the largest of the Maiden lane
importers said that there is now no posi-
bility of any serious competition Inc
trust, he said, was following the policy OF
maintaining the market at a high and a d
Yancing level.

1t is doubtful if the September cop
per output Of the Butte district will
reach l5,OUu,OOO pounds. The or
binary monthly output for several
years has been around 100000
pounds. The official action of the
directors Of the subsidiary companies
Of the Amalgamated Copper Co. in
New York, declaring for a reduc,
ton of so per cent or more Of the
normal output, was anticipated by
unofficial action, and when the Of
ticial word was given out in New
York the production had already
been curtailed about 90 per cent and
the working force Of miners had been
reduced fully S. per cent There
was no cessation at that, but the re-
duction at all mines Of the Anaconda,
Boston & Montana, Parrot, Butte &
Boston, Washoe, North Butte and
Coalition companies continued. A
number Of mines have been closed
completely, including the Minnie
Healey and Cora of the Coalition
Co., the West Colusa and Leonard
Of the Boston & Montana, the Berk-
eley of the Butte & Montana, the
Little Nina of the Parrot, and the
Neversweat, Belmont, Diamond, Buff

are employed about 1O5OO men in
and around the mines of Butte. Prob
ably 4,50O have been laid off, and
more will follow. The impression in

Barnes-King All Right.

Although there is little if any
stock in the Barnes King Develop.
ment company held i'll Fergus coun-
tv, very naturally the extensive
notoriety which that organization
the company is receiving through the
newspapers of this state and else
where has been read with profound
interest in this part of the state
The extremely pessimistic report
of President Gillie does not create
the alarm around here where there
are number Of men who know a
great deal more concerning the con-
dition Of the Barnes King mine than
Mr., Gillie could possibly have learn
ed in an examination lasting but
three or four days. These men
know that, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Barnes-King is
really very valuable piece Of prop
erty as will be found out with care
Jul management and proper develop
ment.
There is also feeling around here
that all of this agitation concerning
the Barnes-King is but part of a
gigantic stock jockeying campaign.
This same thing has happened many
many times before. A panic is start
ed and the little fellows are fright
ened into throwing their holdings on
the market at any price offered them
1t is picked up by those on the in
side and within short time there
after different report is made, the
stocks rise and the hnanciers who
planned the coup are handsomely
ahead on the deal
The facts plainly stated appear to
be about as follows: A syndicate
composed of Butte and New York
people was formed to take over the
mine. The mine was purchased for
S,20O,00O, leaving 100000 in the
treasury to be used for the erection
of a mill and in the development of
the property
Since taking charge of the prop
erty bullion in the value of 100000
has been extracted If the affairs of
sie company had been honestly ad-
nrinIstered, the value of this bullion
would easily have paid all expenses
of management There should still
be $8OO,OO0 in the treasury of the
company This alone would give the
FIVE dollar shares value Of two
dollars each
But the report of President Gillie
shows that there is less than $780,.
WO IN the treasury. In other words,
some person or persons have made
away with cool half million dol
lars somewhere, somehow.
1t is very natural that the present
management should give the "bluest'
possible report on the mine 1t
gives them better opportunity to
work unhampered by the clamoring
OF stockholders who want dividends
They have given the public to under
stand that very little if anything is
to be expected Therefore, if they
develop the mine into a paying prop
osition, which will no doubt be the
case, the greater will be the credit
which will be given their manage
ment.

Kendall Mines.

With the passing of summer the
mining activity in Kendall is as
suming greater pressure than has ev-
er been known to exist in this camp
before. Many new companies in this
district are developing their ground
and the. mining area is gradually be-
ing extended until now it has an un-
broken line nearly half way around
the mountain. Many new producers
will be added to the already large list
by next spring, and from the present
showing with such promising prop
critics as the Golden Discovery,
Hedges Gold Mining Co., North
Kendall, Abby, Kendall Extension,
and North Plum creek, the produc-
ton from this district will be largely
increased soon.
Adjoining the property of the Ken
dali are the Golden Discovery and
the Hedges Pay ore has been en-
countered on each of these proper
penditure of considerable money for
development, says the Kendall Miner
The shaft on the Golden Discovery
is now down to the two hundred foot
level and they are now in good ore
This company will put in a station at
this level and prosecuting and drift
ing will start at this point. The main
shaft will continue down to the three
hundred foot level although the man
agement hopes to strike the main ore
body before they get to this depth
Next week this company will star,
the erection of large timber shed
A rumor has been current the fore
part of this week to the effect that
the ore recently struck on the Golden
| Discovery property assayed $40 to
| the ton, but the rumor was discredit-
ed by Superintendent Whitaker.
Fifteen men were put to work to-
day on the three thousand foot tram
way which is to connect the San
tiago property with the Kendall mill
This means that the stockholders oi
this company will receive dividends
soon after the completion of this
tramway.
Another very promising property
in this district is the Kendall Elk.

adjoins the big Kendall mine on the
west. This company did consider
able drill work last year and are now
planning to do considerable develop.

to one hundred thousand dollars of
Fergus county money has been put

none of those invested have any

of local men there is little doubt

Tragedy Of Dollars

Every day brings a new chapter
of the tragedy of wealth in this
country. One day it is suicide of
a millionaire in one end of the
country, who with everything
material to make life worth while,
and Just at the time when, theOre
tically, he might be expected to
lay aside the cares of business and
the worries of the accumula-
ton of wealth, prefers instead to
lay aside the life that has become
a burden, seemingly thrO the very
fact that from the point of view
generally taken by the world, it
has been eminently successful.
Next day it's a divorce suit with
millionaire of both sexes in all the
roles that go to make up the TRACE
dy. Or it is the loss of loved ones
or, worst of all calamities, the
tragedy develops in revelations
that parade a skeleton long fondly
thought to have been closeted be
You'd uncovering. A pitiful chap
ter in that great money tragedy is
written in the few words necessary
for Charles M. Schwab to give in
structions to agents to sell his
marble mansion only
just completed by him on fashion
able Riverside Drive, New York.
This palace on the most magnifi-
can't boulevard if any city in this
country, represents an outlay of
nearly four million dollars, and
absolutely no limitation of expense
was considered in it's conception
OF it's construction. Yet scarcely
is it completed when the owner
orders it sold for almost any price
that can be realized for it. He is
quoted as having said that it had
become a burden and all eyesOre to
to him. 1t is nothing but house
made with hands. There is not,
and it's millionaire owner seems to
have realized that there never can
be, anything the least resembling a
home in it. There is roof, but
no rooftree. There is no heart in
it any place, however much of art
there may have been put in it by
the uustinted use of money. In
short it represents nothing to him
but the dollars he spent on it.
Charles M. Schwab is not the first
man who has built palace only
to find it a mausOleum.

Square Deal.

Why is it that the average pro
hibition reformer while believing
in fairness and equity in nearly
every instance when it comes to a
solving of the liquor problem, is
willing to gain the point by hook
or crook; is willing, nay anxious, to
carry the point without reference
to the rights of both parties?-Bry-
ant News.
Why is it that the average man
when it comes to putting a stop to
murder or highway robbery is
willing, nay anxious to carry the
point without reference to t h e
rights of both parties?
Equity recognizes no inherent
to do anything demoralizing to the
physical and mental life of man
kind. No man has a moral right
to sell liquor. Nor has he a legal
right until by vote the citizens in
vite him within the gates of the
protected.
In years ago it was customary to
license murder. Does anyone CON
tend that because a man could
receive license to kill his fellow
man he had a right to do so?
The use of intoxicatiOng liquors
kills as surely, tho a trifle more
slowly, than the bullet, and is in
finitely worse, for the bullet kills
the physical man at once and no
one else suffers, while liquor kills
the mind first, leaving the sem
blance of a man with all his beastly
nature predominant and one can
but shudder as he thinks OF the
dire possibilities. The highest
law of our land, t h e Supreme
Court of the United States, has
decided that a wrong or anything
which Injuries the morals, mental
activity or physical manhood can
not be legalized;
These things being so, where is
the injustice of the temperance
position?
AS we held in a previous article
the whole people should have a
right to express themselves on a
question involving so much suffer
ing and expense to the whole PEG
pie.
This is not a question where the
expression d ''square deal' can be
rightfully used. Does the saloon
keeper think of ''the square deal"
when he sells the fiery stuff which
robs man of all his finer instincts
and leaves him to wreak his bestial
fury upon the defenseless ones at
home? Does he think Of 1T h e
square deal when he turns drunk
man loose upon a community to
shock it's sensibilities with his fill
thy tongue? Does he think of the
square deal when he sells that to a
man which incites him to murder
to incendiarism and robbery,
This is wrong usage Of the term
"a square deal" as used by our
president, but if it is to be used,
consider both sides Of the PROPOSE
ton. Elk.
