! gings and living in log cabins on the present site of Butte, now city of 60,- 1 900 inhabitants, where mines valued
 at $100, 900, 900 are located and 12,000
 miners are constantly employed. Copper mining that has since
 brought so much wealth and fame to Montana was almost unheard of in | those days of the rush and excite ment over placer gold mining and at tention was just beginning to be at tracted to gold quartz lodes. The
 Butte lodges showed chiefly silver on top, and became copper bearing com | bined with small percentage of gold
 and silver as depth was reached. For the reason that they were
 searching for gold ore, the promoters
 of the National Mining and Exploring
 Company's enterprise expended most
 of their energy and money in the de yelopment of some ledges near Hel- ena. the capital of Montana. These
 ledges proved rich in that metal, and
 the operations upon them, which were quite extensive, were very profitable. It is estimated that about four mil | lion dollars worth of bullion was talk en out by the National Company, and various other owners. The camp was called Unionville, on account of the
 old Union mine located there. and the
 reputation of those workings on ac- count of their big yield of gold be-
 came widespread.
 Besides the Roosevelts. the Column bia Company and Judge A. J. Davis were interested in the Unionville
 mines. Judge Davis died multi
 millionaire. A big lawsuit arose over
 his estate, and the late Robert c. In
 gersoll came to Butte and represented
 some of the heirs in sensational trial.
 On one mine belonging to the Ma
 tional Company near Unionviiie l 1,500
 feet of the vein was thoroughly ex- plored. and good portion of the ore
 stopped out and reduced in twenty
 stamp quartz mill A vertical shaft
 800 feet deep was sunk on one of the
 mines.
 This was considered a remarkable
 depth for mining operations in this country al that time. On the 0wyhee

mine there was d 900 foot incline shaft, and the ore was practically all taken out to the depth worked. Oper- ations upo nthese mines have recent ly been renewed by other parties.
 The general manager and superin- tendent of the National Mining Com pany in Montana for a period of about thirty years was Samuel J. Jones, a well known mining man in the West. His operations were generally so sue cessful that from the suggestion of his initials he was dubbed Sound Judgment" Jones by the miners. He died three years ago at Helena.
 After a certain depth was reached in quartz mining in Montana at that time the operations with the primitive methods of handling the ore and wa ter became expensive and unprofitable. Tn 1877 the National company executed mortgage notes giving number of shareholders as security for an assess ment levied upon the stock at that time.
 It was stated that the principal place of business of the company was at Helena. Mon, and the mortgage notes were placed on record there by Jas. A. Roosevelt. the president of the com pany, and George T. Jackson. its sec retary. One of the notes was issued to William E. Dodge. of New York, for payment of $1 200 that he made on June IA. 1876. as the agent of the Young Mems Christian Association of New York city. Notes for other payments that year were made as fol- lows: Theodore Roosevelt, $1 500 | James 4. Roosevelt, $1,600; Robert B. Roosevelt, $1 1,000: Henry L. Roose- welt, $300; George T. Jackson, $1 200; William J. Bridge, s1.000; Samuel B. Bridge, s13,460; Henry M Schieffel- in. $1 200; J. R. Sheffield. s1,000; Sam ueI J. Jones, $2.100; Sidney A. Schief- felin.

They partially explored and develop ed rich claims, and others followed with more capital and better methods to reap the harvest of treasure,
 The Anacopda mine, which has now reached a depth of nearly 5000 feet, was not located at the time the Ma tional Mining Company began it's op- erations in the West. The Original is said by early settlers to have had a very wide and irregular hole sunk on 1t to depth of about thirty feet at the time white men first arrived on the ground.
 To that fact IS attributed the name of the mine, it being the first upon which any work was done by human hands in the great mineral region. It was supposed by the miners that the Indians dug the hole on the Original. but so far as is known the aboFigines conducted no placer mining for gold to say nothing of attempting to devei- op quartz lode claims.
 James A. Roosevelt was president of the National Mining and Exploring Company, and, t is said, gave it it's ambitious name, it being the dream and hope of it's founders that the en- terprise would in time be national not only in name but also in the extent of its reputation and influence. On the board of trustees of the company were three other brothers in the Roosevelt family, Henry L., Robert B. and Theo- dore Roosevelt.
 The last was the father Of President Roosevelt. The treasurer of the com pany was George T. Jackson, who was the chief clerk in the office of Rooss- welt & Son in New York City, and who occupied the same place in the office of the grandfather and great grandfather of the President.
 The Roosevelts were not personally very active in conducting the mining operations, and they paid few visits to the properties. There were no railroads in Montana at that time. and travelling on horseback and by stage was expensive and attended with many bardshlps in the mountainous and sparsely settled region
 There were only few miners. who were chiefly engaged iu placer dig

If is well known that Theodore Roosevelt, President of the united States, was while young man a resi- dent of North Dakota and interested in the cattle business there, but few, even among the pioneers of the west are aware that the father and three uncles of the President were engaged in extensive mining operations in Montana long prior to that time.
 Theodore Roosevelt, ST.. and his brothers, James A., Henry L. and Rob ert B. Roosevelt. were leading stock holders in a corporation organized forty years ago in New York, having for it's object the development and op- eration of mining properties in Mon .ana. The National Mining and Ex- ploring Company was one of the first big Eastern corporations to invest money and actively to prosecute oper- ations in Montana quartz lode claims that have since become famous for their wonderful output of copper and silver.
 That the mining company in which the -Roosevelrs were interested was not successful in securing large re turns for it's shareholders was not due to the lack of value of the properties it possessed for some of it's mines, To- cafed in the noted copper section oi Butte. have since made wealthy such men as United States Senator W. A. Clark. the late Marcus Daiy, F. Angus tus Heinze and H. H. Rogers and oth- CT officers of the Amalgamated Copper Company, whose Butte holdings are estimated to be worth more than sI0c, ,000. GOO.
 The Boston and Montana and the Anaconda copper properties of Butte, which are owned by the Amalgamated company, last year produced ore oi the gross value of $22.000, GOO, and a considerable portion of this ore was extracted from veins that thirty years ago were the property of the National Mining and Exploring Company of New York, the Roosevelt company.
 The chief Butte mine, in which the Roosevelts were interested in 1860. was the Original, which is now the property of Senator Clark, and one of zhe best producers In the camp. At

Roosevelt Family Once Owned Famous Butte Copper Mines

The interest of President Roosevelt
 in the West and his love Of hunting and fishing in this region were no doubt brought about in great meas
 ure by the influence and example of his uncle, Robert Barnwell Roose- welt, who was one of the principal shareholders of the National Mining Company. MT. Roosevelt took live ly interest in hunting and fishing, and
 wrote several books upon the game
 birds and fish, both of the Northwest and Florida.
 While he was in Congress, Robert R. Roosevelt inaugurated the move ment of the United States Fish Com
 mission. This uncle of the Presi- dent also brought about the sending of
 the first consignment of fish fry to Montana for the stocking of the fine
 mountain streams with various choice
 varieties of Eastern brook trout. It was chiefly through the judg-
 ment and influence of Robert B. Roosevelt that the family became in velved in the extensive mining opera tions in Montana which were not en- tirely without profit to them. and which brought nntold wealth to their
 successors in the enterprises. In 1STe Mir. Roosevelt paid visit of in speetion to the properties of the con pany in a Western trip which involved hundreds of miles of travel by stage and much mountain climbing. His nephew. the President, never engaged in mining in Montana, but at one time invested considerable money in cattle and was interested in cowboy pursuits in Wyoming and North Da- kota-
 At the time of his death. at the age of 77, Robert B. Roosevelt still had an office at 57 Fifth Avenue, New York
 It was perhaps fortunate for Theo- dore Roosevelt, Jr, for the promotion Of his strenuousness in the right di- rection, that his father and uDcles missed the opportunity that was once in their possession of becoming multi millionaire mine owners in the West

the early period of the development of quartz lode claims in the West the Ma tional Mining and Exploring Company made purchases of big sections on this claim for as many hundreds of dollars as they are worth millions now.
 As late as 1873, according to the records of deeds in Deer Lodge and Lewis and Clark counties, Mont, Wes- ley ". Jones sold to the company a portion of the Original claim, 100 by 200 feet in size, the consideration be- ing $50. Tn 1904 the gross value of the output from this mine was nearly $2,500, ,000
 The Virginia or Virgfnius lode claims are mentioned in the Territo- rial deed records in connection with the Original mine, and the Parrot, Adventure, Pacific and Anaconda mines are adjoining and intervening properties. Pioneer miners of Butte familiar with the section declare that the holdings of the National Mining and Exploring Company thirty-five ago included the heart of the present nlarvelousiy rich Butte copper section. The gross output of ore from the Par rot mine alone last year was $1 ,270,- 900. That mine is now one Of the properties of the Amalgamated compa- my.
 These holdings of the Amalgamated Copper Company and Senator Clark are today among the richest treasure producers in the world, so that it was not a lack of possession of rich min ing possibilities that prevented the Roosevelts, as the chief incorporators and stockholders of the National Com pany. from becoming multi-million- aires as the result of their invest ments. The trouble lay in the lack of depth In the mining explorations.
 In addition, at that time the meth ods of extracting mineral bearing quartz and treating it had not reach cd the present high stage of effcien- cy. SO that even the richest ore pro ducts were not nearly so valuable af- ter they were extracted as they are today. The experience of the Roose- velts in Montana was similar to that of other pioneer investors in gold. sil- yer and copper mines in the West.

with the exception of the manager, were residents of New York City. 4 mortgage was given for $60,000, the principal property pledged as security being the mines and twenty stamp mills located in Owyhee mining dis tTiSt, Lewis and Clark county, Terri tory of Montana, and the mines at Butte.
 The United States patent for the Owyhee mine was secured in 1869. A portion of the Union mine, it was stat ed, was purchased from the Columbia company. Other mines named as in cluded in the property pledged in the mortgage were the Big Muddy and Little Muddy, the l. x. L., the McIn- tire, Doctor Stelle, Scratch Gravel, Oriole and the mines in Butte, in- cluding the Original lode claim, the Virginia, the Moscow and the Noun tain.
 The mortgaged property also includ- ed the boilers and engines, hoisting machinery and pumps, min and office building and the furniture of the com pany. The extent of the operations upon the Owyhee mine is indicated by the fact that at that time there were 2, 700 feet of tramway from the mine. and steel cable and a brake drum were connected with it. In regard to the mortgage it may be said that the mines at Butte alone are to- day worth as many millions as the thousands they were pledged for thirtly-eight years ago.
 The National company evidently fostered education to degree in the early days of the Territory of Mon tana. as one of the buildings on the Owyhee mine was stated to be used as a school room.
 The company is still in existence, but as a close corporation It's most valuable mines were long since dis posed of, but 1t still has holdings worth about $100,0o0 that are owned chiefly by the heirs of the original stockholders. The present agent of the company in Montana is F. D. Jones, an employee in the United States Land office at Helena, and a son of the former manager of the cor-i poration.

 Seal the statement up in this en- velope," said Thaw, and write your name across the flap. l am going to have some typewritten copies made, and when they are completed I want you to compare them with the original, and if they are all right they will be ] given out"
 Daniel O'Reilly, one of Thaw's law yers, said later that he also had copy of Thaw's statement, but would not give it out until the defendant directed i him to do so. Late this afternoon the Typewriter copies suddenly appeared in court. Attention was first attract ed to them by Thaw handing carbon copy to lhs newspaper friend and ask | ing him to compare it with the original Four or five other copies lay on the counsel table in front of the defendant One of the reporters reached over, picked up the copies and hastily left the court room. He was quickly fol- lowed by other reporters The copies and the original were exact, and Thaw then said he was content to have the statement released as a correction to the garbled statement which appeared this morning.
 Clifford Hartridge, of Thaw's coun- sel, and MT. Delmas declared later that they had no knowledge of the state- ment having been prepared or given out.
 Dr. Britton D. Evans, the alienist, was in the witness chair all of to-day undergoing cross-examination at the hands of District Attorney Jerome, The prosecutor said before adjournment that ne would probably keep Dr. Evans on the stand throughout tomorrow. This means that the cross-exanination of Dr. Wagner, another alenist, will not be reached until next week, and makes indefinite the time when the de- fense will rest.
 Dr. Evans and MT. Jerome spent the entire day in going over eight letters written by Thaw and culling out of them excerpts on which Dr. Evans 1 passed UlS eXpreSSeu pelleL JIldC they were written by a person of unsound mind.

 "Yes," replied the witness, "but not in the sense that the person might al- ways remain insane"
 The above was the essence of the days work. MT. Jerome seemed as interested as the expert in searching out the phrases in the letters which might be construed as the writings of an insane man, and for the first time the jurors were permitted thoroughly to examine photographic copies of the letters. As the witness and the prose- cutor bored tediously over the docu- ments the jurors were. enabled to fol- low them closely. The district attorney apparently wanted the letters to be thoroughly serutinized and understood lby the jury.

 In dealing with the redistribution of the fleets, as recently explained in these dispatches, Lord Tweedmouth touched indirectly upon the position of Admiral Lord Beresford He explained that the home" fleet was still in process of de- velopment, and that some time would elapse before it could reach its full strength. He said the fleets at home will continue to be combined, for war purposes, under the orders of the com mander of the channel fleet, in other words, Lord Beresford, while the chan mel, Atlantic and "home' fleets will carry out their periodic manoeuvres to- getder under his command. This pre- sumably meets Lord Beresford's objec- ton that practically all vessels of the destroyer class had been taken from the channel squadron for the home" | fleet, as Lord Beresford is now in vir- tual command of both fleets. Continuing, Lord Tweedmouth said in his statement that the channel and At lantic fleets will occupy the principal fighting position and will in no way be interfered with by the home" feet except in the event of a totally unfore- seen outbreak of war during the ab- sence of the channel and Atlantic fleets l from home waters.
 In conclusion Lord Tweedmouth notes the fact that the first cruiser squadron is going to Jamestown for the opening of the exposition.

ative Allerton, that when he arrived on a Berkshire train this morning in the New Haven station he asked the ques- ton of the station master if it wasn't the plan to have the legislative train that leaves New Haven every morning connect with the Berkshire train. The representative evidently had some wordy talk with the station master, in which the latter is charged to have given some Tip" or "sass," rather, to the gentleman from Midllebury.
 He was very determined that the general assembly of the state of Con- necticut should take some action on this disposition of the station master at the New Haven depot to indulge in alleged insult or lip to any legislator Then started a general discussion about the trains on the various divi- sions controlled by the New Haven road and the irregularity of these trains, it being charged that on the Central Vermont road trains were late anywhere from fifteen minutes to ff- teen hours, and in consequence of this wretched condition of the timetable many legislators were unableto reach the capitol the same day that they started out from home.
 Dr. Higgins of Coventry, who claimed he was a victim of this irregularity on i the New Haven, declared that an ap- peal should be made to the railroad commissioners to improve the condi- tions so that legislators could get to Hartford on time
 ! It was finally decided to table the resolution offered by Mir Allerton, and that the speaker should name a com- mittee to have a heart to heart talk with MT. Mellen of the New Haven road for the purpose of seeing if trains cannot be run with more regularity.
