Anaconda special meeting Of the

Gangner appointed the committee, con-
sisting of eleven business men, to
advise with the city council, and the
report was read suggesting a reduction
in the police force and the fire depart
ment and other retrenchments.
Mayor Gangner stated that he is
willing to abide by the decision Of the
committee, which is in a way an ar
bitrator Of the dispute between 8. E.
]. Bowman of The DAILY Bank and Trust
company and the administration Of the
city. But the aldermen have the final
decision to make. Mayor Gangner
called the attention of the aldermen,
however, to the savings already eff

1t would be unwise to further reduce

Each fireman is entitled by law to one

men on duty.
A letter was read from J. ". Br,rs-
combe of the Pacific Underwriters, who
advised the aldermen that ii the pro.
posed reduction of the fire department
was made he would be compelled to
recommend an increase of the rate Of
insurance for the city. No action was
taken on the report further than to

Sapphires and Rubies In Placer Ground
Near Philipsburg.

Near Philipsburg.
Helena.-Rich diggings have been
opened at Rock creek, near Philips
burg. The ground is a placer. but thus
far 1t has not produced any gold. Dia-
monds, sapphires and rubies are being
mined in a claim owned by Single &
Waters. Most Of this season was con-
sumed in getting the ground opened
and in building reservoirs and bitches.
From twelve feet of bedrock cleaned up,
about two gallons Of sapphires and a
small quantity of rubies and diamonds
were found, the value of which far ex-
ceeds the cost of getting the diggings
in shape for actual mining.
In addition to precious stones the
gravel carries gold, but this season no
cleanup for gold was made. Most of
the sapphires are of good size and
of a high quality and will demand a
good price.
While the diamonds found so far are
small, their presence in the pay streak
is sufficient to justify the expectations
of finding larger ones as the work
progresses.
Kendall District Reports Good.
Splendid reports continue to eminate
from the Kendall district of Fergus
county. The Kendall mine is working
100 men and is producing its usual
amount of bullion each month. The
mine has paid dividends of s1.250, 900
on a capitalization of $2.500.000. The
Barnes-King is again in active opera
ton and the promise is that 1t win
again Join the dividend class. Large
ore bodies have been opened and one
has a very rich streak. These two
mines are reducing about six hundred
| tons q day.
From Marysville, this county. comes
the report Of striking $1,000 gold ore
in the West Belmont. a property ad-
joining the Bald Mountain. recently
taken over by Colonel Thomas Cruise
of this city. The Bald Mountain has
immense bodies of ore blocked out,
while the strike In the Belmont is one
of the most important of recent years
in the district. indicating as 1t does, a
rejuyenation of the famous property,
which in the early days yielded sever.

Taft's Cottage q Beverly.

ent Of any such trifie as the summer
rent Of the cottage. When her hus-
band died in July. 1900. he left her q
fortune estimated at S12.000.OOO invest.
ed in gilt edge stocks.
What the social aspirations OF Mrs.
Evans are, II any. Is not known. but
certain 1t Is that she has decided to
close her property to the Tafts. She Is
reported to have told her intimate
friends that the comfort of her own
guests has been interfered with by the
activities Of the secret service agents
surrounding the presidents home.
Mrs. Evans occupies another cottage
near the one she leased to the Tafts,
and one of her familiar complaints has
ben that the Taft Cottage stood be-
tween her and the grand view of Co
lem bay. which Burgess Point al.
fords.
Those who have spent this summer
at Beverly smile at such excuses.
They say that Mrs. Evans was delight
ed to have the Tafts for guests last
year and never spoke then of any Ital-
ian garden scheme.
Meanwhile Mrs. Taft has a little
list Of available cottages In the
neighborhood. President Taft Is de-
termined not to leave Beverly II II
can be avoided. The ties he has
formed there. and the enjoyment he
has derived from the golf links and
the magnificent scenery make him feel
very disappointed over the decision of

GAVE TAfTs NOTICE

explanation Behind the Refusal d
Mrs. Evans to Rent Her Cottage
to President and His Fam
lily Again.

Boston.-The position Of Beverly,

Is threatened. Mrs. Robert Dawson
Evans. owner Of the beautiful Wills
on Burgess Point, at which President
Taft and his family have spent the
last two summers. has refused to rent
the place again to the chief magis
trate.
The action Of Mrs. Evans is no sur
prise to those who have kept in
touch with the social gossip of the
Beverly colony. All summer It was
whispered that some Of the old fash
Toned folks at Beverly felt hurt be-
cause Of the strict social lines drawn
around the presidents summer
home.
Naturally, the president cannot keel
open house, and the residents admit
this. But, they have insisted, there ID
no aristocracy of both ancestry and
wealth at Beverly that Is entitled to
consideration. And because, SO these
gossips maintain, there has been dis
elimination against some OF those fam
lilies In making up the presidential
calling list, the time has arrived fol-
discreet retaliation.
Wild horses could not drag from
any Beverly matron an admission that
any such reasons lie behind the re-
fusal Of Mrs. Evans to rent her cot
tage to the Tatts for next year. Mrs.
Evans herself offers the suggestion
that she has decided to pull down
the pretty building on Burgess Point
and erect an Italian villa. with spa
cious gardens. in its place. It is fact
that she has not deemed 1t worth
while to repaint the cottage this year.
and It Is generally known that her
enormous wealth makes her independ.
