OTHER ADVANTAGES.

A corporation has been organized in
Townsend for the purpose of building
a dam across the Missouri River by
means OF which electricity will be
generated for various industries in
the vicinity of Townsend. This
power can easily be obtained by the
Broadwater County Mining Company
for the purposes of operating hoists,
and other machinery at the mines
An ideal site has been selected for a
smelter, stamp mill, and concentrator
on the banks of the Missouri River,
only 3 l-2 miles from the mines. 1t
is only question Of time until a
smelter will be in operation on this
site, this advantage would reduce The
cost of TRANSFORMATION TO the mini
mum. Few mines in the state of
Montana would have its ore smelted
and refined at such low cost of
transportation.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE.

Stock is being placed on the market
for The purpose of obtaining capital
for the development of the ore bodies.
More machinery and other equipment
is to be purchased Already ore is
being brought to the surface in small
quantities, but the capacity is to be
greatly increased as soon as capital
and conditions will permit. 1t is the
present intention of the company to
have a stamp mill in operation dur
ing the coming summer to handle the
free milling ore. A few hundred
pounds of the free milling gold ore
has already been tested with a stamp
mill, and the result has been alto
gether satisfactory. Tests have been
sufficient to satisfy those who are in
terested, that a stamp mill, will, with
one seasons product, pay dividends
sufficient to cover the investment. 1t
will only be short time before this
stock will rise in value, we say to the
prospective invest or, Get in on the
ground floor, invest while the stock
is low. and share in the profits of a
dividend producer"

TESTS.

No person Will buy stock in min
ing corporation unless he be first con-
vinced that the ore is in the mine.
The Broadwater County Mining Com
pany has made several tests, all Of
which have given proof of exceeding
ly rich ore. Assays have been made
of the ore taken from the different
shafts at distances varying from to
30 feet in depth, the ore ran from
s.. 90 to $3.50 a ton. An Assay was
made from ore taken from the pit
where the permanent shaft is to be
sunk with the following result:
54 per cent copper.
- ounces of silver.
S36 in gold.
With copper at 10 cents pound
this ore would be worth $4,000 a ton.
f. M. Fisk, the assayer of Helena,
visited the mines personally. He
made other tests from ore taken from
another vein, which is a free milling
gold vein. with the following results,
one test showed $l2S.0O ton, another
5000, another $4,000 and another
81 ,029.0O in gold. There are very few
mines in any of the mineral belts Of
Montana that have such an auspicious
showing before thorough development.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, ID. G., FEB. 9TH.
The best known street of Washing
ton, Pennsylvania Avenu', is begin
ming to assume an inaugural holiday
app arance. SEATS and grand stands
have been built in front the White
House where the President. after his
Inauguration on the 4th of March,
the diplomatic corps and high gov
eminent officials will sit to observe
the grand parade, Thousands of
Others will here occupy seats on both
sides OF the Avenue at prices varying
probably from one t. two dollars. AS
usual the mile stretch of Avenue from
the Treasury Department to tn" Cap
itol grounds on the south side will be
lined with e t. or hlrrchcrS very
much aft r the manner of thos" used
in baseball, football or other athletic
sp,ctaclrS. Windows all along the
avenue on both sides are rented at
cxhorbitant prices and from these
thousands will gazn at the military,
political and civic professions as they
pass to and from the Capitol on the
18th of March.
As has been already obScrv' Il Pres
ilrnt Roosevelt will be- seen in the
carriagr only as it proceeds to the
Capitol He will not return with his
successor to the White HOUSE but will
go direct to the Union Station from
the Capitol, and there take Il train
for his home at Oyster Bay. This is
an Innovations; but by no means, as
the public well knows, unusual for
Theodore Roosevelt.
His personal household goods are
already in process Of shipment to his
New York home and after President
elect Taft shall have taken the oath
of office, Theodore Roosevelt will be-
come a private citizen. There is good
sense and propriety in his effacing
himself and turning his back on the
White House and the Capitol, and
leaving the glory and the burden,
without diversion of his conspicuous
presence, entirely to his successor.

A MAN OF ACTION.
He Got Out Of His Tight Corner With
Flying Colors.


He was n husband who, when he left
home for week or so on a business
trip. invariably took with him photo
of his wife. and In the letters that he
wrote to her he always made a great
point Of this portrait and dwelt upon
the fact that the sight Of It was the
only thing that kept his spirits up
when he. was far away from her.
One day, however, he left the home
and forgot to take the portrait with
him. But he was not going to let q
little thing like that worry him.
Down he sat and penned his Gus
tomary amorous epistle, IN which the
portrait played its usual part. 1t was
not until the letter was posted that he
remembered that the portrait had been
left at home in conspicuous place
where his wife could not fail to dis.
cover 1t.
The fat was indeed In the fire. but
he was man Of action and deter
mined to get out Of his tight corner
somehow. He remembered the shop
where the photo had been taken and
promptly wired there for another
copy, which he had put into beauti
full frame especially adapted for trav-
cling.
On his return home his wife handed
out the freezing mixture" to begin
with and then dissolved in unquench.
able tears. When under cross exam.
nation she admitted that the cause Of
her grief was his cruel deception. he
produced the newly acquired photo
and then asked her. in hurt voice,
how she could possibly have suspected
him Of working off mere tarradiddls
on his little wife.-New York Mail.

Mary Hall In her book. "A Woman's

strong light upon the condition OF

Africa:
When the native butcher proposes to
kill an OK, notice to that effect Is sent
round to the white people on the pre-
vious day. Once they were apprised
Of the fact by the following startling
announcement: "A bule will be MUIR
dered tomorrow morning at 6 a. M"
This cold booded crime. SO carefully
premedltated, even to the exact hour.

next morning second notice was Is

this morning, so was not murdered
But this was an exceptional case.
| heard one story which Is so char
acteristic Of the native that repeat 1t.
The man who related 1t told me that
the incident occurred when he was on
q Journey and was suffering from a
bad attack Of fever. One evening he
fancied he would like some eggs and
told his boy to get two and boil them
lightly.
After time they were brought to
him as hard as bullets. He told the
boy he must get some more and boil
them less: but. alas. these were brought
to him In the same condition. and the
poor fellow wished he had never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in. be made
another attempt and told his boy,
Come to me when the water boils."
The boy did SO.

eggs In. and when you have counted
fifty take them out"
The native method Of reckoning Is to
count up to ten and then begin again,
arriving at the total by the number OF
the tens counted. The sick man heard
the boy start fair and get as far as
four tens. when second boy inter
fered and questioned whether 1t were
the third or fourth ten.
This started discussion, and as
they could not agree it was decided
to begin all over again. Meanwhile
the eggs were still boiling and getting
harder and harder. This was about
the last straw. and. Ill as the man
felt, he was compelled to get out OF
bed and put summary end to the
cooking operations.
