' ., -e le CHAUFFUER CHAbRGED WITH ROBBERY #IRN QARAGE ON MAIN STREET IS ENTERED ANO Z. D. BROWN IS IN. JAIL. Tliterday morning Z. D. Brown, a cbauffeur, thought that he had an alarm clock w$h. a phonograph attachment, er "T Tur're under arrest," was sub atae4 for the usual slumber-shat tertag cldmor of the hated thing of the early day. It. was only for a minute that Brown held his illusion about the alarm clock, for five minutes later he was preceding Under Sheriff Miller to the county jail, where he was booked on the chlrge of. having robbed the BL. . Kern garage on West Main street. It is supposed that Brown en tered the automobile shop some time during the night--probably about 2:.30 -and abstraoted from the safe $25 in money and checks to the value of 8*7.83. At any rate, some one did break into the garage, tap the safe and rifle the cash register. The sheriff's otffice thipks it has a strong case alSt , rown, especially since two revolvers, missing from the establish ment for a week, were found in his suit case, which was packed, ready for a trip-to Spokane, Brown said. Retains Attorney. At the jail Sheriff Graham put Brown through a thorough examina tion, but was unable to obtain either denial or confession of the robbery. In the afternoon Brown retained an at tornpy and declared his intention of fighttig the case against him, he hay. ltg decided to declare himself inno cent In his rooms were found several pairs of gauntlet gloves, the property of other mechanicians connected with the Kern garage. In his clothing was found the greater part of the cash tak en from the garage, but the checks Lots $150 Lots We have six fine lots in South Missoula addition, one block from Stephens avenue, that we are offering for sale for a few days at $150 each.

Brown has been in Missoula since last sum mer and has been running the motors ,of Dr. J. J. Buckley and Dr. Joseph Oettinger. Of his past career little is known. He has been under suspicion of petty thieving for several weeks, 0 so it is said. Mr. Kern reported the I robbery to the sheriff's office at 6 o'clock yesterday morning and at once requested the arrest of Brown. Later in the day a second search of his rooms was made, without the finding of any further evidence. Brown will Sprobably be arraigned this morning.

DEVELOPMENT WORK PROGRESSES FRENCH BAR GOLD MINING £ MILLING COMPANY HAS GOOD PROSPECTS. The French Bar Gold Mining & Mill ing company is now doing some splen did development work on its group of claims, known as the "Little Dandy" group, near York, in Lewin and Clark county, about 21 miles northeast of Helena. The company, which is com posed chiefly of Missoula people, owns the entire group, including nine claims and a patented mlllsite. In this group are the "Little Dandy," "Golden Messenger," the "Faith," "Wall Street," "Eagle,' "Helena," "Moonlight," "Sunlight" and "Last Chance," besides the millsite. The first two named are patented, while the "Faith" is surveyed for a patent and has been recommended for entry. The others are yet unpatented. The present company took over the property in August, 1908, and ever since has been doing work on the "Golden Messenger.'" On this claim they have drifted a tunnel for 560 feet, while a shaft has been driven for 150 feet. A cross-cut has also been driven for 50 feet. All of this work has been done in paying ore, which assays at from $6 to $12 per ton. In the coming spring the company expects to con struct a 50-ton mill which will contain rolls and screens as well as a com plete and up-to-date cyanide plant. There will be no stamps in this mill. The company is now well equipped for buoiness as all of the necessary buildings and machinery have been I built and installed. On one of the L claims there is a generator which de velops 75 horse-power and is used to operate the electric lighting system, the drills and other machinery. There is a telephone system with about one mile of wire which runs from the gen erating plant to the scene of the present work on the "Golden Messen t ger." Near the plant is a 20-room ho 1 tel, which is used to accommodate the employes, of whom there are five at the present time. At one time there were 65 men employed on the work, but that was bfore the old stamp mill burned in 1902. There are also several thousand feet of flume to handle the water from a spring located on one of the claims. The company is composed of Mis soula people principally, although 20. 000 shares are owned in Helena. The total number of shares issued to date is 600,000. The officers of the com pany are Alphonse Lacasse, president, and John Lacasse, secretary and treas nlurer. It was incorporated in Missoula county under the laws of the state e of Montana. Business has so much I- improved that they have moved to the Y new office at 116 West Cedar street, in the room formerly occupied by the Deschamps store.

The communication says: "I am sure he o will remember that in the year of 1874 four feet of snow fell on the level in this valley and an equal amount in the winter of 1886 and 1887 here and at the foot of the lake. This same win ter Frank L. Worden, Sr., died, as some of the old timers will remember. The United States mail was block aded for four days at this time." SUNDAY CONCERT ANNOUNCED.
