ONE MINE EMPLOYS 975 men

Butte.-Taking April as a basis,
Butte's mining payroll for the year
1913 will be $13,5OO,OO0, which, it is
believed, cannot be equaled by any
other city of corresponding size in the
United States. In April t miners
were paid 1915 day, as compared to
$3.50 in March, the difference being
on account of the varying price of
copper. Aprils payroll was 81, 125,00O.
ference between the March and April
payroll of $4,000.
Anaconda Pays Most.
The Leonard mine, owned by the
Anaconda company, has the largest
payroll of any mine in Butte, 400 top
men and 575 miners being employed
at that mine. The North Butte mine
has the second largest payroll, with
$50 men on the list. The payroll of
the other producing mines ranges
from 100 to 700 miners.
The North Butte is now producing
ON an average of 100000 pounds of
copper a month, and is looked upon
as one of the best mines in Butte. In
the last six months the operating ex-
penses have been greatly reduced by
the installation of electrical appliance
es, and the management expects to
bring about still further reduction
the next year. 1t is understood that
new hoist with capacity to sink
1000 feet will be installed during the
present year.
The new Butte and Duluth mill has
been in almost continuous operation
for more than q month and has been
treating an average of eighty tons a
day at a cost of $2.35 ton for min
ing and milling. Arrangements are
being made to increase the capacity
Of the mill.
Copper Glance at rs Feet.
| Copper glance was encountered this
week at depth of seventy-five feet
in the shaft of the Butte-Minnesota
property southwest of Butte, and an
assay of the ore shows from l to 2
per cent. copper. The manager be-
lieves the new find is strong indi'
cation of rich copper bodies at great
er depth.
Rebuilding Of the Boston & Mon
tana smelter at Great Falls, where a
great tonnage of Butte ore is treated
is going forward at gratifying rate
and the new smelter should be in
operation the coming year. Forty
five structural steel workers are busy
on the job and 200 workmen are en-
gagged in other details in changing ov
er the big plant. When completed
the smelter will be one of the world s
best plants. The improvements will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,

STUMP LAND BEING CLEARED
New Settlers Fast Developing the
kootenai Valley and Carving
Homes in Forests.

Libby.-More stump land is being
cleared in the Kootenai valley and its
tributaries, in Lincoln county, this
year than in any previous season and
more people are living on the land
than ever before. Most of the set
tiers blow the stumps out with dy-
Mantle, but few use stump pullers
and some burn them out by the char
pitting process.
The cost of clearing the land varies
greatly, running from 500 to 500 an
acre. Once cleared, however, the
land has greatly increased value,
for the soil is fertile and large crops
may be raised, for which there is a
good local market.
Hundreds of persons are living on
these forest lands in Lincoln county
where only a few years ago there
was only an occasional settler.

WomanIiness.

Perhaps it would not be SO easy to
lose "womanliness" as some people
seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the powwow about becoming desexed
is superfluous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomically men and
psychically women; there is no such
thing as a person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How.
ever masculine her appearance, a
woman's psychic qualities remain dis.
tinctively feminine. At least. Mr..
Weininger says SO.

As a result the manager was so completely done up that he proceeded to take a snOoze on the road home on the 10 o'clock train that night He did it all right and then some. The train was mile and a half south of town making distance at the rate of thirty miles or more when the conduc- tor called for tickets and Baum be- came alive.
