The Greenland Copper Mining com.

beds are more extensive than they
originally were supposed to be, and
the ore is very fine. Machines for

the mines in order that the work of
testing the ore deposits may be
rushed. A depth of 80 feet has been
reached, and the percentage of cop
per is increasing with the depth. The
drills will be kept busy during the
winter, and by next spring it is ex-
pected that depth of 300 feet will
be reached. The copper ore is to be
shipped to Denmark, where company
is ready to buy any amount of it.
Queen Alexandra is a constant
source of amazement, not unmixed
with envy, to the ladies at court. AL
tho her majesty recently celebrated
her sixty-fifth birthday, she has re-
sumed the fencing lessons which she
so much enjoyed in her early married
life. One of the finest fencers in the
army, a non-commissioned officer of
the Life Guards, Corporal Elliott has
now the honor of giving the queen
fencing lessons at Sandringham. The
queen is remarkably agile and quick
in her movements, and her devoted
companion, Miss Charlotte Knollys, is
often lost in admiration over the par
ries and thrusts of her royal mis-
tress, who looks when she is fencing
like young girl. Perhaps the most
remarkable thing about the queen is
that during the last fifteen years she
has neither lost weight nor increased
in weight. During the last twelve
months she has been taking mild
Swedish exercises in the morning, fol-
lowing the example of her niece, the
crown princess of Sweden.

RIOTOUS ON ACCOUNT OF IOLENESS
Employees East Helena Smeter AttaCked-Aempt Made
to Throw Foreman Down Shaft at Butte.

Helena, Mont, March -s11.-Former
Austrian employees at the East Helena
plant of the American Smelling & Re-
filming company took the law into
their own hands when the midnight
shift started to work last midnight,
and with clubs, bludgeOnS and rocks
intimidated the men, causing them to
return to their homes in Helena and
East Helena. No one was injured, the
determination Of the Austrians pre-
dominating.
The Austrians were laid off several
months ago. or at the conclusion OF
the first dividend period, which sys-
tenn was recently inaugurated by the
company for payment to its employees.
The second dividend was due yester-
day, but the men not having been at
work, refused to pay the bonus. They
then decided that others should not
work, and took possession of all ap-
proaches to the plant.
Sheriff Shoemaker today arrested
five of the ring leaders in the move
ment and lodged them in jail. The
men say they were discharged after
working all but three days of the bonus
period, and that it was a premeditated
step for economical reasons. This is
denied by the management, however,
which declares that the men were kept
at work much longer than conditions
