BUTTE, MONTANA
MINING CITY
S. L. willis, Owner of Owl Drug Store,
Pays Visit to Old Home and Finds
City Enjoying Unusual Prosperity

"Butte is fifty times better than
the best time ever saw there and |
lived there II years." said S. L. Will
lis, of the Owl Drug store, who re-
turned the latter part of last week
from trip to the mining city and
Missoula "Times are good in Mon
tana. Most of the new prosperity is
due to the enormous advances in cop
per on account of the war. Butte's
payroll for one month when copper
was % cents per pound amounted to
$3,000,000; it was half million less
when the price of copper dropped to
"a cents.
"In building Butte is also making
great progress. There must be ten
new business blocks in course of con-
struction there now, and at least $50
residences. Comparing commercial
activity, I should say that Butte is as
far ahead of Spokane as Spokane is Of
Moscow.
"Wages in the mines depend on the
price of copper-the higher the price
the higher wages. One month the
men drew 81 per day extra. The low
est wage is $3.50 per day, but for
long time the market for the product
of the mines has kept wages above
that figure"
Mr.. Willis says in spite of the at
tractiveness of his old home it's nice
to be back in Moscow once more. He
was away about two weeks.

FROM DEUTSCHLAND
German Admiralty Not Advised as to
Vessels Position Since She Left
Virginia Capes IA Days Ago

By the United Press Associations.
BERLIN, Aug 16-The Deutschland
has not been heard from since she
cleared the Virginia capes IA days ago
on her way to the open sea, the United
Press learned this afternoon. The
fact that Ia days have elapsed with
out word indicates that the submarine
is following a roundabout course to
dodge blockaders. Sixteen days have
elapsed since she left the docks at
Baltimore and her outward journey be-
gan.
The Deutschland carries powerful
wireless equipment, but the officials
of the German admiralty do not expect
to receive communication from her,
because of the possibility that the
steamers whereabouts might be be-
trayed to the enemy.
