BUTTE MINES,
Output is Cut from $4,000 900 to TO-.
100000 Pounds Month.

! Butte. Mont, Sept. 1.-The normal
output of the Butte mines is about
24,OOO,OOO pounds of copper a month,
although it did, in years past, run as
high as 32,000,000 pounds For several
years the production of the Anaconda
company averaged around $4,000, 900
pounds, which included the output of
the North Butte company, of about
100000 pounds.
The North Butte having been cut
OF entirely, and the Anaconda COM
pany having curtailed about 60 per
cent, it is doubtful If the Butte mines
are putting out more than 10,00O,0OO
pounds of copper per month.
This production is made at a loss
to the companies, for on the reduced
output the cost correspondingly is in
creased and it is pretty certain that
the cost OF copper per pound is great
er than any price that could be OBJ
tained for the product at present.
The Anaconda company has kept
some of its mines open for no other
reason than to give employment to
some of the most needy miners-men
with families to support. It ia nos
sible that the conduct of the warning
unions will result in complete sus-
pension Of operations in the Butte
district.
They have not yet made their de-
nands on the Butte & Superior Com
'any, but the statement has been
made from apparently reliable
sources that large number of Butte
Z Superior miners will not be bull
lozed by the I. W. w. dynamiters and
hat the mine may be compelled to
lose.
The Butte G Superior and the
lark Him nrlrr khA 4-lx
inc properties in Butte, are reaping
large profit from the war condf
ions, which have raised the price of
pelter, and probably they comprise
he only mining industry that is ben
fitted by the war.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-'1t is not con.
ceivable that we should fail. If we
do fail the lights of freedom go out
over the whole world -
This was the statement of Rudyard
kipling, the author, in a stirring ad-
dress to a mass meeting in Brighton,
where an immense crowd had gath
cred in the dome to listen to speeches
in support of Lord Kitchener's cru
sade for recruits. The meeting was
presided over by the lord mayor of
Brighton, seconded by Herbert Sam
uel, president of the local government
board. Mr.. Kipling said:
Through no fault nor wish of ours.
we are at war with Germany, the
power which owes its existence to
three well-though-out wars; the DOW
er, which, for the last twenty years
has devoted itself to organization and
preparing for this war; the power
which is now fighting to conquer the
civilized world
World Conquest Their Aim.
For the past two generations the
Germans in their books, lectures.
speeches and schools, have been care
fully taught that nothing less than
this world conquest was the object of
their preparations and their sacrifices.
They have prepared carefully and sac
rificed greatly.
I'VE must have men and men and

she has always told us, is England
and Engiand's wealth, trade and
worldwide possessions.
Depicts Fate Of Failure.
IF you assume for an instant that
he attack will be successful, England
will not be reduced, as some people
say, to the rank of second-rate power
)ut we will cease to exist as a ma
ion. We shall become an outlying
province of Germany to be admins

afety and interest require.
I'VE arm against such a fate. We

Surveyors at Work

John Christy this week received a
communication from F. G. Baum, of
San Francisco, stating that a corps
OF surveyors had arrived on Black
River for the purpose of locating a
site for power house. Mr.. Christy
who has been active in promoting this
new enterprise, was requested to
Join the surveying corps on Black
River and will leave for that section
on Monday morning. This is a big
project which has been under con-
sideration by Mr.. Baum and associa-
tes for the past three years, and from
information received it is believed that
plans have been now perfected for
its consummation.

GOT TOGETHER AT BAD TIME.
Colonel Thought He Was Being Made
Fun Of by Men Whose Names
Were Peculiar.


During the days following the close
OF the Civil war the South was under
military government, and to conduct
matters properly the Union officials
found that they had many difficult du-
ties. In Warrenton, Va, the colonel
commanding the regiment stationed
there decided that 1t would be well to
take census Of all male citizens. And
with this end in view the men Of the
village were ordered on certain day
to report their names, ages and other
data.
This colonel was quick-tempered
man and would get very angry ct the
least imaginary disrespect, SO the citi.
zsns determined to carry the thing
through smoothly. But, unfortunately
for the peace Of mind Of the colonel,
the town had several men who pos
sessed the names of animals.
A Mr.. Lyon kept a restaurant, a
MT. Hare ran a barroom, Mr. Bear car
rted on dry goods store, while Mr..
Coon was an auctioneer. These were
the actual names of real citizens of
the town, and, strange to say, all hap
pened to arrive at the polls at the
same time.
What is your name?" asked the
clerk Of the first conner.
Bear" was the reply, and down
went Bear"
Your name, sir" was demanded OF
the second.
Lyon" came the response. And
Lyon was written.
Name, Sir" for the third man.
"Coon," was the answer. The col.
onel began to fret about like a bee in
bottle. He thought the men were
making game of him, but he managed
to keep his temper in nand.
Name, SIR" came for fourth time
from the clerk.
Hare" replied the last man. But
this was more than the now angry col.
onel could stand. He jumped to his
feet, his face blazing with anger al
what he thought was a trick, and,
shaking his fist in the astonished faces
OF the four men, thundered out:
This thing has gone far enough. n
any of you men try again to palm of
on me any more Of your blasted ami.
mails, will slap the whole bunch OF
you in jail"
SO the four men departed, sadly re.
ftecting that after all, in spite OF
Shakespeare, there Is something in @
name"
