SHELLY BUYS
GOLD TAILS
At ELKHORN

The J. L. Shelly Company, St.
Paul. Mimi. has purchased from
H. B. Chessher ct ux the $4,000
tons. more or less. of gold tails
deposited from the milling opera
tions of the East Butte Copper
Mining Company on the Moreau
mine at Elkhorn, Montana. 1t is
understood that Chessher received
flat sum for the tails and has
leased the mill building and water
rights to the Shelly Company for
Deriod of two TO three years during
which time it is to mill the tails
and stack them so as not to inter
fere with future operations Of the
ore exposed underground which Isl
said to represent a large tonnage
OF low grade sulphides.
Ray E. Tower, well known me-
tallurgist of Butte. Montana, is in
charge and has constructed a Cyan
lde mill capable OF handling 100
or more tons of tails per day. Con
siderable work has been done in re-
facilitating the old mill building
and in making preparation for in
stallation of the mill built by the
Western Iron Works of Butte, Mon |
tana The flow sheet is said to
have been prepared by August
Gurneit of the Western Iron Works.
It is understood that when the
$1,000 tons of tails have been re-
ground and treated, then attention
will be given to the amount OF ore
available underground, providing
satisfactory lease can be worked
out with Chessher. The tails are
said to assay COS OF. Au, or about
$2.4O in gold per ton at current
price, according to the records sup
piled by the East Butte Copper
Mining Company.

The general average for the county
Democratic ticket, which was unop-
posed, was LIS. For the State ticket
the general average was about l,OSo'
with some 100 for the Republicans.
Senator Robert r. Reynolds, seeking
reelection, polled 1,0S6 votes to lSz
for CharlEs A. Jonas, Republican,
who led his partys ticket here. Con-
gresham Harold D. Cooley, of the
fourth district, received LOAF votes
and Willis Briggs, Republican, lo4 Tor
the same office.
The two constitutional amendments
both were defeated by large ma1orltles
in this county, although early returns
from over the State indicated they
had carried. Vance gave 491 for and
633 against the proposal to increase
the term of sheriffs from two years
to four years, and voted 399 for and
514 against the proposal for establish
ing a State department of justice.
While the vote was very light, be-
ing about 1,225, as against more than
5000 in the Democratic primaries last
summer, the total was considerably
more than the 986 votes cast in the
off-year general election in 1884.
In Henderson township, John Mundy
received 694 votes for constable, with
no opposition. The average vote for
four members of the school board OF
Henderson township was about 6S4.
These were DR.. H. A. Newell, Mrs.
Willie Peace and Mrs. Henry Perry
and Robert Bum.
For constable in Kittrell town
ship, P. L. Ellis received ITO Demo
cratic votes, and D. M. Glover in
Watkins township polled A votes for
constable. Neither had any opposi-
ton.
