Office officials, relying upon the repre-
sensations, granted a final certificate
of entry and that the United States
commissioner, afterward learning of the
suit which had decided that no claim
had been established, required explana-
ton, and that the defendants in this
case caused the clerk of the district
court at Wallace TO certify that the
case mentioned had been dismissed and

considerable money. In obtaining their
patent they testified that they had ex-
pended $4,000 at that time in improving

Message Was Expected.
The senate was occupied with judi
cial matters. "A message from the gov
ernOr was expected recommending an
other judge for Goldfields, or EsmeraI-

found that the measure would meet
with opposition, but that the other
counties would stand for redistricting
that section, giving a new judge to
Esmeralda county, and moving Judge
LangdOn to this end of the state. The
governor will remodel his message to
meet the situation.
The special committee of both houses
will meet at o'clock this afternoon to
look over petitions and suggestions re-
lative to the Goldfield situation.

NINE OWNERS TO
ERECT SMELTER
Raising of Rates in Montana
Means Independent Plant
at East Helena.

Helena, Aont., Jan. 17.-That an in
dependent smelter is to be erected in
Helena by the mine owners of the
state of Montana seems an assured
fact. After perfecting a temporary or
ganization today, to be known as the
Montana Mine Owners association,
twelve leading mine operators tonight
raised 100000, and one member, NJ. L.
Hewitt, temporary president of the or
ganization, agreed 10 secure an addi-
tional 100000 within one week for the
erection of the proposed smelter in this
city. The operators. it is said, are also
assured that former United States Sen
atOr William A. Clark will subscribe
to a large block of stock.
Executive Committee.
The personnel of the executive COM
mittee, named late today, it is pointed
out by the mine owners, is a certain
guarantee that the movement in this
state to. operate the mines without in
the least relying upon the American
Smelling & Refining company to han
die the ores, will be a success. The
committee consists of NJ. L. Hewitt
chairman: w. G. Conrad. one of the
most extensive mine operators in the
United States; A. E. Spriggs, H. L..
Frank, former United States Senator
w. A. Clark, Benjamin E. Phillips and
F. B. Linderman.
Statement of Mr.. Hewitt.
NJ. L. Hewitt, temporary president,
tonight said:
Montana leads all states i'm its min
eral output, and the mine operators
are determined not to be hampered by
arbitrary action of the smelling trust.
We are determined to erect an indie
pendent smelter near Helena. Even
though the American Smelling & Re
filming company should, in the face of
the present movement. decide to give
reasonable rates, there would even
then be far more ore than the East
Helena plant can possibly handle. In
view of these conditions an indepen-
dent smelter will certainly be estab-
lished at once.
1.-THE mine owners of Montana can
raise 81, 500, 900 for the establishment of
the independent smelter by Feb. II. at
which time our permanent Organiza-
ton will be completed"

Washington, Jan. 17.-Senator Smoot,
who was a caller upon the president
today, says the Republicans of Utah do
not seem to be uniting upon any one
presidential candidate. GAS things look
now" he said. ''Utah's delegation to
the Republican national convention
will be uninstructed. Our people de-
sired the denomination of President
Roosevelt. Since he has gone out of
the race they have not united on any
particular man." This statement dis
putes the claims of the Taft managers
that Utah is in their column.

Pope SUFFERS
ATTACK OF GOUT
Alarming RumorS at Once Set
Afloat That the Pontiff'S
Condition Was Serious.

Rome Jan. 17.--Various alarming rum
ors were in circulation this afternoon re-
garding the health of Pope Plus. They
were to the effect that his holiness had
suffered a stroke of apoplexy, that he
had had a bad fainting spell. and that the
disease of the heart from which he suf-
terS mad suddenly grown worse.
1 he reports were more alarmlSt in char
acter than those circulated when Pope
Plus, few days after his election, faint
ed in the Pauline chapel while celebrating
his first pOntifical mass. All were great
iy exaggerated, however, as the pope is
only again suffering from govt. The at
tack began last night and by morning
mad become so acute that by the advise
of his physician. DIR. Petacci. his holiness
postponed all the audiences that had been
arranged for today and tomorrow, though
he insisted that he would receive Cardinal
Merry del Val, the papal secretary of
state. and other officials for the conduct
of the ordinary business affairs of the
vatican.
Old Habits Cling.
DR.. Petacci does not attach much i'm
portance to the present Illness He at
tributes it to the advanced age of the
pontiff and to his refusal to comply with
the physicians orders, both as to work
and diet. His holiness, DR., Petacci de-
clares, says it is impossible to change his
habits even to the extent of taking "a
small glass of wine with his meals. The
doctor says, however. that a few days of
rest and of dieting will be sufficient TO re-
store the pOpes health, as, aside from the
govt he is in perfect condition.
The latest news from the vatican is to
the effect that there has been a cOnsid-
cradle amelioratiOn in the progress of the
disease and a diminution of pain. His
holiness tonight succeeded in obtaining
some tranquil sleep. His encourage is of
the opinion that the indisposition of the
pope viii soon be over.
