J. F.. Meyer. president of the Ari-

 has been feeling so good since he came
 in from Bouse that he could not resist
 the temptation to give a little joy party
 last evening at the Hotel Adams. The
 occasion was fitting. for J. c. Denton.
 superintendent of the Little Butte mine.

 was found in the shadow of the South
 western Realty office, headquarters for
 mining news. H. NJ. Lewis, of that
 agency, was caught with his appetite
 in good condition, and Mrs. Lewis was
 prevailed upon to desert her fireside
 for the evening hour. MT. Beachly, of
 Dubuque, Iowa, who has been living at
 Rouse for some time and knows that
 everything said so far is true, and is
 putting his money up on il, completed
 the party. all except a Republican re-

 There is a motive behind almost ev- cry move in this world. and Mir. Meyer of course, had a reason for giving the dinner. As far as could be gathered. it was solely because he wanted to, to show his friends how good he feels, and in this he was most successful. Nothing in this world ever looked brighter than the future of the Little Butte, and when a man is real happy, he's got to do something or bust" It was planned to have Tom Bouse and his time associate, who first To- cated and worked the Little Butte mine. present to tell the story of how it was found and operated in the days when the future was all behind a cur tain. but though they were in town. they stampeded at the hint of course dinners and pretty girls to serve them, along with a finger bowl finish, and have not been seen since.
 The dinner was great. one of the kind the Hotel Adams fixes up on pur- pose for good people and serves on the big round table. that just fits a party of that size. The center of the table was ornamented with a big fancy basket. made for the purpose. and fill ed with more sweet pease blossoms than were ever seen in the world be- fore. all in one place. and so pretty that even Fitz- Mac. gay young swell that he is. got a boutonniere and strut ted out of the dining-room real chesty when it was all over. He was the life of the occasion. handing out compli- ments just as though he didn't care who got them.
 Aside from the dinner. there was doing. It was not a business meeting of any sort, the price of Little Butte stock wasn't raised a cent. nor was any of it distributed for souvenirs or place favors. It was just a Meyers dinner. done well. and as one would expect a prospective millionaire to do it But, incidentally, the reporter found occasion to augur a little information out of Superintendent Denton about the last bunch of assays. the results of which put President Meyer up in the higher levels. where the ozone is most inspiring.
 MT Denton took six samples under the following conditions and with the results given: No. was from the four foot breast of the north drift. on the vein recently discovered on the 1OO- foot level. and which drift was then In about ten feet from the cross-cut. The result was 9-10 per cent copper and sSO.2O in gold. No. was from the same drift but was sorted ore of a higher grade. red oxides. streaked with green. that is almost malachite. This showed g 1-5 copper. with sS7.40 gold. No was from the same drift, but was picked sample of ore that had not been leached. Mir. DentOn's purpose be- ng to get line on what he believes he ore will be when he gets to the over lever. or any place where the original formation has not been chang ,d This sample gave g 2-5 copper .wo ounces silver and S27.60 in gold | pleases him better than any of the ,ssavs. for it holds ont the inducemJnt f high copper values for the body of he mine. with gold values that are certainly flattering. vet not SO high ! mt that they may be maintained throughout the ore shoot.
