EXPERTS OFTEN SEE DARK SIDE Many Camps Would Have Beon Abandoned if Early Reports Had Been Accepted as Final. Observations of the changes that have taken place In Butte mines quite naturally bring us to a consideration i)f what they mean and of how we may use the knowledge uruuirod to advantage, sayS M. W. Alderson in the fourth installment of "Changes in Butte In Quarter' Century," published In the Mining and Bnivlnocrlng World. Experiences common to Itutlc are tho common expediences of many other mining districts.' Some veins have well-defined walla, some have not. Sometimes the work of ah Individual has been a fallu're: then another has tuken up Hie wfirtf and has pushed on to success. There is nothing new in this. It Is but an exemiililicatlon Ot the fact that the Individual unit cuts but an Insignificant figure In the onward advancement of tho race. Pay ore has not heen continuous from the snrfacv down in IJutte mines any more than It has heen in properties elsewhere. When the Leonard was at the 700-foot level, four crosscuts were made, everyone showing lbe vein at that level to be valueless. After developments showed that these four crosscuts bad crossed the vein at the only lean place on that level. With many mine operators work would have stopped right there for good, and the ininu-n.se body of ore below would never havo heen uncovered. The Goldsmith mine was one of thc mines of Butte that, prior to my residence in that city, had produced from its start in 1884, $150,000, at a profit of $120,000. But when I was there the only work being done on the property was gouging out narrow scams of qunvtss from tlie outer fringes of the pay shobt. George T. Hong, the owner ot the property, died April 12, 1912. leaving an estate consisting ot non- producing mining claims valued at $38,054. nnd an indebtedness of over $100,000. Tho most valuable of his assets was tlie Goldsmith mine, which was appraised at $15,000, and against which there was }>. mortgage for over four times that amount. The property was under lease to C. W. KlHrigwood, who had dropped a splendid business into the mine and what private means he lind besides. A row months after Mrs. Tong bad been appointed executrix of thc estate, Ellingwood struck pay ore in a little over six months, viz., from-September. 25, 1003, to April 12,1904, lie paid In royalties to the estate $00,204. In the next few months he pdid over $30 000 more. The debts of the eBtate. including the mortgage tot $07,(192, and other de'bts, making a grand total of nearly $118,000, were nil paid, and the estate had cash on hand and ail its property intact. The property was afterward sold for $50,- 000 and the new owners ran it In debt in an endeavor to find more pay ore. A'bbut two years ago one of the owners'had a hunch that pay ore would be' found in a certain part of the property. He' Interested three persons With himself and pushed, work until thd-jr -Were exhausted financially and quit. Another party took up the work later;' drove 40 feet and took (hit $190,000 'in a few months. The property stands today developed only to a few hundred feet in depth*. Rleber With Depth. The Gagnon was a fine mine near the surface. It waa no good at all at the 700; worse than no good at the 1,800, and It Is a magnificent mine today below the 3,600. Let us go Into a little more detail on some one mine. We will take the Mb- tot*y' of the first qunrtz discovery in the Butte district. One of the first locators of what is now the origlhal rtiine was a man named Humphrey. He sold the location to Prof. Hodge for the National Mining & Exploration company, at that time operating the Whltlatch-Union at Unlonvllle, the first big gold quartfe mine operated in the state. Hodge was a trained geologist, a fine man. and always free in telling the technical name of any specimen' shown to him. A stoi'y is told that Orie day brie of hla men gave him a, piece of caked brown Bugar with the query, "What is it?" and that Hodge answered: "It is a fine specimen of caVareouB tufa." The story wna probably made un. but I jHve it as too pood to ]nse In defending the property nt ITnlonville against perFonc who having no richt thereto, were removing timber therefrom. Hodge was shot In the breast and through n wrist. Some time afterward**, tin left the state and his companv sent Mm to examine properties at Silver Inlet. Mich. In returning to Chlcaeo the boat he wns on went down during n slnrm on the lake w'th nil on board. As suceesBor to Prof. Hod*e the companv sent S. J. Jones to the territory rs Ur manager. His omoloyert promptly nicknamed him "Sound Judgment Jones" on the strength of Mb Initials, and the uousl Inck of reverence felt In those flays for the "nilgrlm" in a stranco Innfl Jones mnde a critical examination of thc Orlelnal and eonclud'iif.' ]t was no eood, he let Ms compnny's interest 1" the nronertv lapse. In oalllns attention to this T nm not questioning the sound judgment o? Jones. I knew him newonallv nnd he was a man of more than ordinary ability. His Judgment was as sound ns that of skilled mining: engineers who had to do with the pronerty Inter, and who WW the veins of Butte under far superior advantages. Thus I have before me a report on Butte written In 1R84 by an engineer named Biunton. nnd published in the volume of putters of the Institution to which he belonged. In which lie said: "Both the composition of tlie ores and the present, development of thc mines indicate clearly that depth will 'be accompanied by a decrease In the nBBny Value of the ores." fn the words of our present state inspector of mines: "Experts are nil right, but they have made some awful mistakes. I have known of several large mines that have been turned down by them that today are among aur large producers." CRANBROOK TO BE ! HERE TOMORROW Tomorrow and Thursday of thf1 week the Cranbrook bosehall team will play here against the locals, and tbe baseball fans will be given another treat after a couple of weeks' rest. Tho Cranbrook boys defeated Nelson In two games at the Crow's Nest city recently, and with their heavy hitting they are capable of making any of the interior clubs take notice. Last week the (Jranbrook boys played Sandp'olnf and though they l(ist by coven runs to four the Somlpoint boys are said to have what is probably the best team outside of Spokane in tbe Inland Bmplrfe, and the Cranbrook boys kept them hustling, Tonight the locals will hold a final workout for tho games. The Cranbrook bays are expected td arrive on' the Crow boat tills evening. m. Of course you can judge a cigar by its ash, Mr. Smoker! A connoisseur will tell you that When a cigar holds its ash well, like the B-NAT-CO— and When that ash is clean and white— it's safe to say the cigar is a good one. Even if you could get a good ash in other than the best cigars, simply for the sake of more enjoyable smoking, a dependable ash would be something to find. A B-NAT-CO won't deposit its a«h in your lap without warning—spot your clothing—and spoil your peace. You can count on it to hold almost 'till the last puff. Its good ash is a fitting supplement to the rich,full-flavored. Havanaswettnessand the steady, alow, even-smoking qualities oi the B-NAT-CO. What more can you ask of a cigar? Here, then are reasons enough why you should at least try a B-NAT-CO, Mr. Smoker.

Pan- eras dealt wibh Joseph Martin, M.P., as official Liberalism in a Canadian constituency would deal with a representative who voted to censure a Liberal cabinet minister, Bays the Toronto Telegram, a great admirer of the stormy petrel of British Columbia's politics, who a few years ago transplanted himself in tlie old country. The East St. Pancras Liberals recognize in Joseph Martin a representa- ] tive who voted with Uaionists to censure Lloyd George and Hufus Isaacs. Perhaps Joseph Martin, M.P.. sees In himself a representative of Liberal ideals that mean nothing tf such ideals do not mean condemnation for such procedure as that of Lloyd George and Rufus Isaacs, especially the former. Joseph Martin, M.P., comes from a country where politicians are required to swallow a good deal for the sake of party. A Canadian member of parliament has never yet had to swallow his objections to the conduct of a finance minister who played tlie stock market with money borrowed from the bank on tips supplied hy a government contractor, It Is a tragedy that Lloyd George should have exercised a speculative liberty that no Canadian finance minister would claim for himself and required his supporters to justify transactions would would drive a United States secretary of the treasury out of public life. EQUINE OR GEE-GEE! There is delightful criticism of a too pedantic education, as well as of too Blovenly speech, in a letter which has appeared in the New York Tribune. It was written by a mother whose love of the classics had Induced her to attempt to familiarize her little hoy with Latin from his infancy. The child summed up the whole modern attitude towards learning the other day by saying "Mans don't call r horse an equine," and the Montreal Star seizes upon the incident t,o read a little homily on the use of slang. Naturally, says the Star, he wanted to be a man and to do the things that men did, and them only. But unconsciously he was feeling hat his eduen- sclously he was feeling that his educa- "Slaves."

COMPLETELY CURED OF DYSPEPSIA Bj Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets We are continually hearing, from grateful people who have bad experiences like that of Miss Alice E. Cooper, of Niagara Palls, Ont, who writes: "I wish to express my gratitude to you for the benefit I received from your most wonderful Dyspepsia Tablets. Tlaving taken other medicines without having received the slightest relief, I heard of yonr Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets and thought I would give them • trial. I have been completely cured of dyspepsia. I will be only too pleased to advise any one troubled with dyspepsia to give them a fair trial." Na-Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets not only give the immediate relief from heartburn, flatulence, acidity of tbe stomach and biliousness, which iaaomuch needed, but if taken regularly for a few days or weeks' they completely cure tbe most aggravated cases of stomach trouble.

Sir: The writer was not surprised to note by the press a few days ago that the directors and manager of the Kootenay Fruit Growers' union had at last acknowledged to the public that they were insolvent. Tlie fact was quite apparent by the financial statement presented at tbe annual meeting last April. It would have been much better lo have squarely faced the situation then rather than decide to do so ln tlie midst ol the fruit season. Realizing then that Hip situation would have to be faced very shortly, I made the -suggestion at tlie annual meeting that a strung committee of business men he appointed to co-operate with the directors of the union and endeavor to work out a satisfactory solution of tbe financial difficulty. The suggest ion was not acted upon, the sentiment being expressed that whereas one of the Okanagan unions had broken up about $14,000 in debt and another one about $10,000 behind, after padding tbe assets visible nnd invisible to the limit that the Kootenny union was only $4.- 000 behind after two years' operation and that directors, manager, et al. should congratulate themselves that we weren't aB badly off as some other districts. The decision of the meeting to endeavor to run (Mb year by appealing for public support was ridiculous and unbusinesslike and doomed to failure from the start. While ft few puhlie-splrlted growers like C. W. Busk have given largely of their means, with no thought that the stock of the union would ever be of nny value, there are very few ranchers In the Kootenays who are In a financial position to carry much stock from pure philanthropy. Nine-tenths of the shareholders have taken stock ln the union as a business proposition to facilitate the marketing of their produce. They expected when they subscribed for that stock upon the solicitation nnd promises of the man ager, that they would at least reap some benefit from the union. In view of the absolute failure of the union to render any satisfactory results for value received, it Is surely adding insult to injury to charge the failure of the union to "the failure of the ranch ers to keep their promises." With generous magnanimity and la mentahle lack of business ability the union has turned over all city sales and the 10 per cent commission therefrom to other parties. While condemning hy resolution the marketing of fruit other thnn hy union channels, one of the signatories of the resolution boasts within a few days of securing a fine sale for his fruit on the prairie. "O consistency, thou art n jewel." We would not like to hazard a RtieBi where the $6,000 subscribed stock In the union has gone. We do know however, that the bookkeeping system was abominable, The suggestion tn take advantage of tbe government offer to loan up to 80 per cent nt a low rate or Interest seems tb be the most practical solution, provided, however, and this should be insisted upon, that there is an entire reorganization of the union and a competent dlfectorat* and manager placed in charge. The government money is only a "loan" and as such must be repaid some time. The ability of the present management to eat. Up nearly Jfl.OO*1 of stock subscriptions In two years is warning enough to every rancher and business man to look well before he obligates himself by a government loan. The present situation is unfortunate, but every fruit growing district has been through these experiences. While experience Is sometimes costly, it is nevertheless a valuable asset, and one experience of letting any one nationality, no matter how successful they have been in their own vocations or professions, run n cosmopolitan affair like a "union" is-- enough. An individual or an association can do a lot of business on very limited capital If they have credit, but the basis of credit is public confidence, Confidence, not in it man as n good grower, good neighbor or all around good fellow, hut confidence in his business ability.

BRANDON, Man., Aug. 18.~That the government Is determined to solve the mystery of Ihe remarkable series of fires which have for some time past thrown thc citizens of Brandon Inio a state of nervous tension was amply demonstrated this afternoon when an investigation was held in the very class room of King George school where a mysterious fire occurred on July 28. A Winnipeg detective agency, of which Marshal) Jackson is the head, has for sonic days been working 011 the case, and W. J. Melntyre. one of its most astute criminal detectives, conducted the Inquiry. Seven witnesses were called, the evidence tending to show thai Lhe fire had been caused by someone who had a key to the school doors. A dramatic incident occurred when, on being ked to produce his private keys, a witness was found to possess one which would lock the school doors. He denied all knowledge of the fire and stated that he had the key in his possession for six years and did not know it would fit the lock of the iohool door. No arrests have yet been made.

Sir Ian Hamilton Saw Good and Bad in Canadian Militia—Reforms Advocated Expensive. (By Dally Newa Leased Wire.) OTTAWA, Aug. 18.—Contradictory views in regard to the report of Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton are given expression by the Conservative and Liberal papers in tho continents today on tin rocbmmeridfttlonfl of the general. The BVenlng Citizen says: "While the report whieh Gen. Hamilton has submitted in reward to lhe Canadian militia is conceded to bo an exception ally aide one, viewed from a tecbnicii standpoint, tin* reforms advocated are 0 extensive and ho costly as to be ac- omplished only gradually, The pur- ihtise of new batteries and arms and uf new stores and equipment and tlu ■ther I recommendations of the report will entail an expenditure doubling If not trebling the ten millions now spent annually." The minister of militia lias said thai the recommendations would rccolvi very careful consideration. "I am pleased With the report," said be, "ami I look care to sec that the general Wit-. •lessefJ all the bad as well as good In the force ills remark? and criticisms largely coincide with my own views." The Evening Free Press thinks the object of tbe report is to develop a system of universal military training In Canada. It says In part! "Thut Canadians must bo prepared to spend more of their time In drill and more money on the militia, Is the opinion at the capital of those who have looked Into sir bin's report.. In military circles there has been a good deal of curiosity as to the purpose of having Gen, Hamilton report upon the Canadian militia so soon after Bit* John French, the great llrltlsh soldier, had made a report.

WINNIPEG ENTERTAINS VISITING GEOLOGISTS (By Dally News Leased Wlro.) WINNIPEG. Aug. 18.—-The second section uf the geologists who nn* touring the west were entertained bj tlie city today. They also paid visits t'0 Stonewall. Stony Mountain and Lower Port Carry, They were welcomed lo ih0 city by Mayor Deacon. Dr. Adam!, McGUl , university; Dr Tpchernnysehew, Russia; Dr. P. -M Fernier, Paris, and Dr. IIumbo, director of geological surveys i,r Egypt replied on behalf „f the party. Mrs, Thaw exhibited the hastily scrawled note from her son whoso escapades have cost Ufe family tl,(100.000 and added that whatever Harry did would meet with her approval, This, ln view of his announced In- tentlon of entering Pennsylvania, gave basis to tliu belief that Thaw was preparing to take his case before the courts of that state, anil, i-elylng on llic kink In the American laws relative to the lnsune charge which makes extradition lmpossinie, to duplicate In Pennsylvania, If possible, the course of John Armstrong Chalimer In Virginia. It was In anticipation of such a move that the New York authorities caused the warrant to be sworn out at Pouglikoepsle. Conspiracy, according to the district attorney of ■Duchess county, constitutes an extra* dltahlc offense. Close associates of the family indicated tonight that thc .woundwort of a legal light In Pennsylvania had already been laid. Dr. It. D. Evans, the alienist who testified In Thaw's behalf at the trials, held a telephon conference with Mrs. Thaw this afternoon, nnd It was said that lie would accompany her to Pennsylvania to morrow. There aro to be conferences With counsel aud meantime, it is understood, Thaw Is to remain In hiding.

The yacht Emlymlun. owned by George Lauder, Jr., a distant relative of the Thaw's by marriage, found mention in tlie crop of rumor. After having left Vineyard Haven, Mags., tho craft was reported as cruising somewhere in the sound, possibly not far front' South Norwalk, Conn., repeatedly mentioned as an objective point for ThaW hud lie eared to take to sea. liiiiiitry at the New York yacht club disclosed the fact Unit tlie Kndymlon was a slow boat and attaches there BGdUtod Hie belief that Thaw would haVe gene aboard. In view of the fuel that entrance into Canada might mean a clash with the Immigration authorities there, the theory was advanced that Thaw's advisers would not havo hhh take any such risk. despatches from Ottawa, though quoting no official, said that If Thaw halted within the Dominion he might be deported as an undesirable) although If he had a through ticket to Europe there would lie no halting him. Tbe stale authorities at Horrlsburgi Pa., indicated that if he came within that state, his case would be referred to the attorney -general provided New York asked for his extradition. Thc Philadelphia police said they would detain him if New York requested It, Connecticut look ihe same view that he could be held there as an insane fugitive, but Massachusetts olHclals were inclined to think that nothing short of a criminal charge would win his detention in that slate.

LE PAS, Man., Auk- 18.- That the Saskatchewan river, worked in eon- junction with the Hudson's Hay railway from Le Pas, will prove of immense value to farmers and other shippers as fnr west as Edmonton, Is the opinion of L. A. Voiigny. Dominion government chief engineer, In ehar«e of the surveys and works In connection with the navlgabilty of lhe river. He reached here on thc steamer La Fleur with a orew of men. Work la now completed to Le Pas and orders have heen received t tlnue to Grand Rapids. A channel of 10 to 20 feet was found the entire way from Cumberland House, and hardly any extra work was necessary, though some dredging will be required about Moose Lake and Cedar Lake, and this will 'he started Immediately, as will also the construction of a wharf at this point. The government insisted on Prince Albert building a lock Lueolle Palls, and this indicates that the fullest use Is lo he made of lhe North Saskatchewan us soon as possible. Mr. Voltgny estimates that the entire project can be carried out within flvo years, and no doubt, eventually, the waterway will lie continued through to Winnipeg. In conjunction with the government road to tho Bay, this navigable channel, tapping all the northern part of thc Canadian prairie west, will go a longr way toward reducing the work of marketing grain, and the cheaper water rates should bring freight tariffs of the railways into line. Nor is this nil. Mr. Voilgny feels certain also about the navigability of the south branch of the Saskatchewan, which, he says, will soon receive attention, All the railway bridges have been built to this end, and all that Is required Is a demand by cities and towns along its course. Curiously enough, these municipalities ppear apathetic us regards navigability of the south branch, while their neighbors on the north branch have heen agitating for a long time and now get served first, he said.

The result is that there are many mses, flats and apartments empty right now that are most desirable, and the owners are moBt eager to rent them so as not to have their property vacant. This is. therefore, the time that the Want Ads come in for a great deal of use in realty buying, selling, renting and exchanging. Watch the. Want Columns carefully, and, if you do not see what you want.
