BUTTE, Mont, May 2S- Tp have the toys, which he started making as a means of diversion during his leisure hours, come into demand in re- mote corners of the earth, and to have them figure in the court. in important Iitiaation is the experience of r. A.. Linrorth, a gcologist and mining en- ginccr.
 In a little engineering mining shop in a corner of his home, Mr. Linforta a graduate of the University of Cali rornia. ten years ago began moulding, or folding, to be NOre exact, miniature models of mine plans and mining ca chincry out of various kinds of paHer and cardboard. It became a hobby with him. and he became so proficient that hc was able Co reproduce on a'- most "watch charm" scale, the vast and complicated inner works of mining plants. He made models Of the largest mines of Butte so precisely that mi.- CTS could point out the various stopca or raises in which they worked.
 An exploration company which is building a large shelter in Chile rc- gently requested Mir. Linforth to mako a paper machc relief map of the loca- ton of the proposed plant and to build on it the shelter. Without even having seen the ground, Mr. Linforth by means of surveys sent him, made re- production Of the site, hundreds O. acres in extent, and built on # tho miniature srnclter on which the comp any since has actually begun constuc- ton work on it's South American Pro- pcrtv. This model was made on a scale of 100 feet to the inch.
 Miniature Implications of mines have been ordered by mining men to he sent to New York and other large cities in order to interest financior: in properties for which capital was sought. The model of smelte> found Is way to the University of Santiago, Chile with the result that a Communi- cation camc from this school asking Nr. linforth to reproduce for it mod ,le of certain mines and smclters of the United States. As a result Sou'n American mining students at this un- ivowsity have before them in the'' r'ass rooms. other models, the Gree, Falls, Non., smcltor in detail with every piece Of machinery in r'a"" a"d .ho reproduction faithful to the min ltcst detail.
 IrSth Montana federal court a law suit involving millions of dollars is at issue and Mir Iinfolth'S services have been sought to reproduce for cv- animation in the court room, small models of two of the largest mines m Inc Butte district. When the case comes to trial the court will follow he argument, which involves title to rarious veins, by having the points mentioned in the testimony pointed put.
 "lIv hobby never can become bus ness" said Mir. Linworth. "There is not enough mine construction to ma!' t commercial proposition because in q few weeks I can reproduce the min, 'atwo of a plant costing millions ot dollars"
 , Several of MT. Linforth's associa l. es work with him each evening in his little home factory which is known iC most technical universities of Ameri' a and to the majority of the mining men of the country.

UNDER the head of LET the Peo-
pie Know" the News Of last week
contained an article stating that the
council and school board proceedings
should be published in the city
papers so that the taxpayers might
know how their money is being ex-
pended. The law provides that the
proceedings should be published but
in this the city officials have been
very negligent for only part OF. the
time have the council proceedings
been published and 90 our know
ledge the proceedings of the school
board have never been published.
The city and school officers claim
that it. costs money to publish the
proceedings and that if people want
to know how their money is being
expended they have only to 60 to
the records but, this is mighty incon-
venient for the majority OF the tax
payers who would willingly bear the
small extra expense to have the pro-
ceedings published.
Large sums of money are. being ex-
pended yearly Ly the school aud city
authorities and the people have a
right to know how their money is
being expended, especially when
the law says the proceedings should
be published.
When taxes are nigh taxpayers
usually want to know how the pub
lie funds are being handled but with

ings it is Eretty 4 ifficult tor the or
