NORTH BUTTE is SECOND
Anaconda Only Town in Montana That
Has Larger Mining
Acreage.

Butte.-Witi the official announce
ment that the North Butte company
has purchased a large group of claims
on that flat southeast of the working
property of the company, aggregating
in all about 700 acres, the North Butte
takes it's place as not only the second
largest producing mining company in
the state, but also second only to the
Anaconda in the matter of acreage.
All of the ground is patented except
two claims. The company purchased
outright 525 acres, with an additional
acreage of 214 in which North Butte
has part ownership. For this ground,
which lies northwest of Columbia Gar
dens, the North Butte company paid
$794, 81 and is yet Obliged to pay
$4,000.
The company has issued also in pay
ment of the property 10000 shares of
stock, on a basis of $40 share. The
new property extend mile and a
half north and south and about a mile
east and west and gives North Butte
in all about thousand acres in the

MONTANAN ANSWERS CHARGE
Educator Says He Could HIT Back at
Hill by Attacking Railroads
of Country.

Billings.-James J. Hills recent
criticism Of the public schools was
attacked as too sweeping" by Presi-
dent e. B. Craighead of the Univer-
sity of Montana in an address at a
high school dedication here.
For years l have read with keen
interest whatever Mr.. Hill has said"
President Craighead declared. His
criticisms are too sweeping. One
might almost infer that Mr.. Hill is
ready to uproot the whole public
school system. AS university pres
ident. l might hit back. | might be-
gin an attack on the railroads of the
country by saying that they are dis
NAL failures. In no other civilized
country are railroads permitted so
recklessly to destroy human life. The
water they supply the passengers in
the day coaches is not good enough
for CATTLE
But we are not justified in MAX
ing an indiscriminate, wholesale at
tack on the railroads, nor is Mr. Hill
justified in making such an attack
on the public schools"

ALL DELEGATES WERE THEIRS
Evidence That Men Of the Stone Age
Enjoyed Dainty Fare Much as
We Do Today.

There is nothing to indicate that the
men of the later stone age did not
have buckwheat pancakes for break
fast. 1t has been learned that not only
buckwheat but many other grains of
the present day, such as corn, barley,
fax, rye and oats, formed an impor-
tant part of the daily bread consumed
by the people of the latter half of the
stone age, known as the neolithic
epoch.
1t is generally admitted that the
men of the age Of hewn stone were
hunters. With Asiatic invasions, the
manner of living changed. The neo-
lithics began to raise domestic ami
mails and to cultivate certain species
of plants, the remains Of which are
still to be found. Professor Schenk
has brought this question to an inter-
esting point. Corn is the most an
cient plant known. Scientists have
observed samples of 1t in the cele-
brated layer of the Mas DAHL, or end
OF the hewn stone period
1t is believed that this kind of plant
is essentially of Asiatic origin. It
could have been brought into Europe
by neolithic invaders. Egyptian wheat
has also been found. Barley is also
pretty frequent, being represented by
six distinct varieties. On the other
hand, rye and oats were known, but
were rare. Flax was represented by a
different kind from the present
species.
The other plants of that age were
probably gathered in a wild state.
Fruits were generally cut in quarters
and dried such as certain little spe
cies of apples and pears. Among
these latter the present Swiss species
Achras, has been found.

CATTLE ARE NOT DECREASING
Shipments Of Calves to Eastern Stock
Markets Falling off-This Con-
sidered Good Omen.

Helena.-Though Montana is at
the low ebb of cattle production, 1t
shipped 179,SS6 head of cattle and
27,416 head of horses the past year,
according to the annual report OF
the board of stock commissioners
that D. w. Raymond, secretary, has
filed with Governor Stewart.
Decrease Is Explained.
The shipments were about 5000
head short of the shipments in 1912.
but" Mr.. Raymond says, when we
realize that our population has been
increasing rapidly, and therefore our
own consumption increasing proper.
tionately, it seems reasonable to be.
lieve that the number of cattle In
the state has not decreased to any
great extent the past year or two.
1T is expected that the homestead
err will, in small way, become a
stockman; that he is doing so is
proved by the records of recording
brands in this office the past year.
We have recorded 6,61S brands, the
largest number in the history of the
Office during any given year.
"One need only turn to the ship.
ments from Montana to find that the
ranchman is increasing his herd
The Chicago receipts of calves ship
ped from Montana in 1911 was prac.
tically 5000 head; in 1912 it was
only 1000 head. This shows that we
are allowing our calves to mature, and
were we able to set exact figures on
heifers and young COWS shipped we
would find the same proportion OF
decrease in shipments; therefore, to.
day, Montana is exporting only her
mature cattle and saving the breed
ing Stock
Mr.. Raymond points out that
though Montana has been known as a
great cattle state. New York has
three times as many head of cattle
Nebraska three times, and Colorado
has three head of cattle where Mon
tana has two.

BOA CONSTRUCTOR

WORKS ONCE A WEEK
South American Species Is Added to
Kansas Collection of RattIesnakes,
ella Monsters and Other More or
Less Veri!e Reptiles.

Topeka, Kan.-The state of Kansas
is willing to pay out a few hard dol
lars for dead snakes and birds and
animals to be stuffed and kept in the
museum, but when it comes to paying
a single dollar for a live boa con-
strictor, the state balks. The execu-
tive council, composed of the COVER
nor, attorney general, secretary OF
state and state auditor, has refused
to pay one good round dollar for a
real South American boa constructor.
A few days ago carload of bananas
was received by one of the Topeka
commission houses and just as the
clerks were preparing to pick up
bunch of bananas one noticed the
snakes head sticking out. 1t is not
unusual to find tarantulas and poison
Gus spiders from the tropics in ba-
nanas but seldom are snakes found.
A council of war was held and the
men in the cold storage room put a
sack around the bunch of bananas
and then drove the snake out and
later transferred the reptile to a bot
tie. Then the snake was brought to
Mrs. B. B. Smythe, curator of the Goss
archaeological collection in the state
house, and Mrs. Smythe bought the
boa for one dollar to add to the col;
lection of rattlesnakes, ella monsters
and other more or less virile reptiles
kept in cages on the fourth floor OF
tha ctatc h0l1cp
The boa was only 81 inches long
but he is lively and happy, and people
who have read about the crushing
powers Of the boa are continually
coming to the state house to see the
little fellow work. He only works
about once week, though, and there
are always plenty of mice and birds
caught by the small boys for him to
demonstrate upon. The snake watches
mouse run around about as a cal
does, but all the time it moves its
body a little nearer. Then suddenly
there is quick flip of the body ant
the mouse is caught in the coil, ant
its life crushed out almost instantly
