CAPACITY WILL BE
ONE HUNDRED TONS A DAY
Eastern Capitalists, After Looking over the Bo-
nanza Property, Pronounce It a Mine--Wi11
Spend Large Sums on Property.

As result of the visit of the
three eastern capitalists, Geo. W.
Watts. and Col. Parish of North
Carolina, and r. G. Eckloff Of
Washington, D. G who are inter
ested in the Bonanza Mining Co,
the local promoters of the company
sincerely believe that Montpelier
will soon have an expensive cyanide
plant of at least 100 tons capacity
and that thousands Of dollars will
be spent in developing and operat-
ing the property.
While here these men spent
several days in going over the prop
erty and after they made complete
and exhaustive examination of the
enterprise they expressed themselves
as eminently pleased with the out.
look on the property, and stated
that they we're wiling to spend all
of8the money necessary to develop
mi pc which they were sure would
prove big paying enterprise.
All of the men interested are men
of, long business experience, who
have made millions by careful busl-
ness methods. They are applying
the same methods in the handling
of this property. While here they
selected large quantities of the ore,
taking averages from evesy part of
the ledge that Is exposed. With
these samples they will first go to
Denver and have them tested by all
of the different methods now In use
for the saving of copper. In this
way they will determine which pro-
cess is the best fitted for the ore
they have to handle AS soon as
they have decided this question they
will at once make arrangements to
install plant here and work the ore
at the niue, thus saving the freight
charges which have eaten up the
profits in the past. All of the ore
IN the mine is of a higher grade
than many of the Montana mines
that have paid enormous diyidendt
and these men are convinced that by
the economic handling Of the ore
they will be able to realize large
dividends from the operation Of
this property when their plant is il
operation.

BIG CROWD SAW HORSE SHOW
AND PRONOUNCE IT SUCCESS
Was the Finest Display Of Horses Ever Seen in
County--Judge Devine Says It was Credit
to the People of the Community,

The big horse show is over, and
every one who attended has pro-
nounced the event bowling sue
cess.
The business men say that the
crowd In attendance was the of the
biggest ever assembled in Montpel-
Ter. From the opening parade Mon
day morning until the close of the
band concert Tuesday evening, the
streets were lined with people, all
interested in the events, and pleased
with the showing made.
The horsemen say that the finest
display of horses ever seen in the
county was presented at this event.
Horsemen who are familiar with
the stock of the county say that
they were surprised at the magniti
cence Of the display.
The decisions of the judge, James
Devine were eminently satisfactory.
There were some complaints from
those who did not get prizes, but
taking 1t as a whole the affair might
be called free from dissention of
every kind, at least much more SO
than can be expected on occasions
of this kind.
While a Utah horse, from Gar.
den City won the sweep stakes, the
Chesterfield horse, which was not
eligible to compete, was pronounced
the best horse here, and awarded
the special prize offered by Chas'
Brown.
In speaking of his decision in Sc
lecting the Garden City horse al
the sweepstakes winner, Mr.. Devln'
said:

tute, to large extent the true typ
Of draft horse. In arriving at
conclusion in such matters, tn

AS to the merit of the displa'
made at the horse show no on
perhaps who attended the event i
better qualified to pass judgmen
than James Deyine, of Salt LAX
who acted as judge and awarde'
the prizes.

She reviewed number of details
in which the work of Montl eller's
schools exeels, and said:
"You haye one of the best corps
of teachers | know of In the State
Their work is a very high stan lar,
and the support they receive from
the schnol board, and the people of

By way of making her remarks
more forceful, Miss Chamberlain
said:
.In my visits always make 1t a
point not to say anything compli-
mentary about the schools, unless l
feel they are deserving. l may not
always critlcise them when l should,
but am careful never to give
praise whore it is not justly due,
and you may rest assured that
speak of the excellence of your
schools, because they are deserving
of any compliments l could pay
them"
Miss Chamberlain then spoke Of
her work throughout the state,
urging the co operation of parents
and teachers, and the rigid enforce.
ment of the school law, requiring
children to attend school.

without the children. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to see that all
children attend school and the laws
are enforced"
E A. Burrell was called upon to
reply to Miss Chamberlains address
IN behalf of the city. He praised
the work Miss Chamberlain has
done while in office, and predicted
that she would Gil the same office
for another term.
Martin Winters spoke in behalf
of the school board and gave q
short review Of the work of con.
solidaung the school districts and
bringing the schools up to their
recent standard. He lamented the
fact that the compulsory school
laws applied only to children below
the eighth grade, and urged the
necessity of legislation that would
compel children to secure n com
plete education.
A short program was arranged
for the evenings entertainment.
The first number was a vocal solo
by Prof. Fred Price of Paris, which
was delightfully."- rendered and wei
received.
Mrs. T. w. Jones then fayoret

was the display good one. The
horse show was great success and
reflects great credit upon the enter
prize of the inhabitants.
NSuch exhibitions as this are o
great help to this important branch
of farming industry. The people
who are sincere in the breeding of
good horses, after they have failed
TO win prize at an event of this
kind, and know why they have
failed, are great deal better quail
fed to take up the work again and
correct the errors they have made
in the past.
ut may be said that the inn
ported stock exhibited demonstrates
the necessity of rural communities
contemplating the expenditure of
large sums of money in the pur-
chase of horses, should engage
competent man in whom they have
confidence, to make the selection.
Mr.. Devine stated that the show
just held in Montpelier demon
strated that q number of horse
companies had sold horses IN this
valley for large sums that are not
up to the standard, that should be
expected for the price they have
paid. He said:
"Most of the farmers lack q
technical knowledge on this class of
horses. While they have gener-
al idea, their knowledge Is not
technical. If you were going to
buy piano you would not take the
salesman's word, or try to pick il
out yourself. You would get
competent musician that UNDER
stands the technique to make the
selectlon Tor you. II should be the
same thing in selecting a horse.
The farmer could save money, and
get better horses by securing some
competent men in whom they had
faith to make the selection"
Among the light stock" said
Mr.. DeYlne, "there were some fine
drivers shown. There is going to
be big demand for this class Of
horses for the next few years. The
entire western country has drifted
into the raising of draft horses.
The demand for light horses is we'll
exemplitied by the fact that the
government is Offering as high az
$185 for calvary horses"

HARTMAN CAN VOTE STOCK
Fish Has Again Lost In His Illinois
Central Fight.
Judge Ball Dissolved Temporary In
Junction and the 2s6,231
M Shares May Be Voted.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-E. H. Hartman
Thursday gained complete victory
in the Illinois Central litigation which
has been In the superior court since
last October. Judge Ban rendered a
decision dissolving the temporary In
junction granted to Stuyvesant Fish
by which 286,231 shares Of stock were
enjoined from being voted at the an
nual meeting of the Illinois Central
railroad company. This stock, which
was held by the Union Pacific Railroad
company and the Railroad Securities
company of New Jersey. can now be
voted at the annual meeting which
will be held in this city March Is.
The court declared that corporations
per Sc are not barred from using and
holding the stock Of other corpora
tions, and said that the fact that the
purchaser might be foreign corpora
tion and the stock that OF a domestic
corporation could not change the rule
Of law.
The court denied that there is any
rule Of the American common law pro
hibiting one corporation from holding
stock in another corporation when the
first corporation has in its charter
specific power to do SO. In this case,
he said, 1t was proved and not denied
that the Union Pacific and the Rail
road Securities company each has
express power granted to 1t by the
state Of It's creation to buy, own, and
hold stock in other corporations.

receiving from him the consecrated

Several men rushed to the aid OF the
