Butte Is Wonderful Camp,

Over a billion dollars worth of cop.
per, silver and gold has been produced
by Butte mines during the past thirty
years, according to an article In the
Mining and Engineering world. In .
general review of the American min
ing industry, the article makes this
reference to the Butte district:
"Since 1880, when the Anaconda
mine was opened as q silver property
but quickly developed into q copper
producer, the mines of Butte have
yielded IN estimated total of 7,00O,-
600, 600 pounds of copper, having a
gross value OF $3.50, 600. 900. based on
an average price of IA cents a pound.
The Butte ores carry q cents in silver
and gold for each pound of copper,
giving a value of gold and silver to
the copper ores mined since 1880 Of
Sl75, 600 900. and q total value in cop.
per, silver and gold of 81, 155, 600, 600.
SIN 1912 the Butte mines produced
32l, ll5, ITO pounds of copper against
270. 9S7, 500 in 1911. While the copper
production of 1912 marked o new high
record, Q greater reserve was Gre ated
was known in the Butte mines In
years."

Electric Power For Milwaukee Road

Electric Power For Milwaukee Road.
Plans for the use of electric power
on the Milwaukee railroad have been
made public by officials of the com.
pany. There will be seven stationary
power plants, at least, generating cleo
tricity by water power at Great Falls,
Helena, Madison River, Big Hole and
Thompson Falls, near the western
border of Montana. All these will be
connected in circuit, contributing their
power to q single reservoir. Electric
ity will be conveyed to motors by
means of q trolley system. Power will
be purchased from the producing COM
pany, the railroad having nothing to
do with construction and installation
of power plants.
The Milwaukee probably will have
fifty electric locomotives to begin the
service, specially designed to meet
needs of the situation. These must
pull q maximum freight tonnage OF
POO tons up q l per cent grade. Ga
heavy grades helpers will be added.
The locomotives will be limited in
design to a speed of 30 miles per hour
up grade and Is miles per hour down
grade for passenger motors, and Il
miles per hour for freights.

Human Head In Alcohol.

BUTTE, Feb. S.-Alcohol or alco.
holic beverages of any shape or form
are strictly taboo by certain railroad
men OF Butte, who went through an
experience yesterday that made their
hair stand on end and their stomachs
feel as though the buttons had drop
ped out. They are forever cured of q
DEERE for anything stronger than Sod
water, ard the mere thought of alcohol
will take their appt titles away for
several weeks.
Several weeks ago q keg OF alcohol
went astray. The consignee could not
b. located. The keg was left in a
freight house and the crews about be-
gan to tap it, until finally the contents
had been entirely consumed. Today q
prominent ply sician, who had been
searching for the keg, found it in the
freight house and while the crew gath
cred about to enjoy what they consid-
cred a good joke, the physician took
the top off the keg aud lifted out a
head, which had been sent him for
scientific purposes.
The guilty r~aiiroaders took one hur.
ried glance at the object in the doc
tors hand and then hastily left the
premises, as their stomachs refused TO
retain their MONDAY meals after the
men learned they bad been drinking
alcohol which was used 10 preserve the
hesd OF a man. II WAS a most saiu-
tary lesson, and wLolesa ale liquor
dealers who ship over this road in
the future feel certain tina. none
OF their liquor will be touched after it
reaches Butte.

ESTRAY FUND SHORTAGE.
investigating Committee Makes Fina
Report To Governor.

Report To Governor.
HELENA, Feb, 6.-The legislative
committee appointed two years ago TO
investiga ate the Office of the secretary
OF the state board of livestock com.
mtssioners made its final report to the
governor today. Oae of the conclu-
sions 10 the report is that "a con.
spiracy was entered into between s..
w. lanehorne, Jr., Ray G.. Clements
and Mark Good, with possibly other
persons, to procure, by mesns of forg-
ing the name of the payee to checks, q
large sum Of money out of the estray
fund.-"
The d%efalcation of Langhorne in
1909 and 1910 is fixed by the report at
s19, $40. 1t is recommended that civil
actions be instituted to recover the
moneys wrongfully taken from the
estray fund. Efforts have been made
to arrest Clements and Good, says the
report. but they have been fruitless.
1t is recommended that the effort to
apprehend them be not abandoned.
The report sharply criticizes former
stock boards for their handling of the
estray monies. It says: I'VE are
forced to the conclusion that discrimi.
nation has been shown by those en-.
trusted with the settlement OF such
claims and In many cases the owner
did nc receive pay for his estray. In
our judgment, many cases have been
decided against the only claimant for
the money, without any proper ~justif.
cation for the action of those handling
the estray funds"
The structures passed upon the par.
tial report of the investig ating com.
mittee, made public early in November,
by D. W. Raymond. secretary of the
board of stock commissioners at pres.
ent; and by John T. Murphy OF this
city, a former president Of the stock
board, are remarked upon in the final
report, and answers made to them.
