Henry Haupt's Statement as to the
Title to Them Denied by a
Butte Editor.

The other day the Butte Inter Mountain
published an interview with H. L. Haupt
concerning the formation of a company in
England for the purchase of the Spratt
sapphire felds on Eldarado bar. Haupt
said: "The reason for circulating a private
subsription is obvious, as the title of the
sapphire fields is still in doubt, and the
patents to said ground were obtained by
fraud, and he as the principal contestant to
the title of the fields is prepared to prove it
so when the proper time comes, etc.. and
that witnesses have been threatened if they
did not testify as the 8pratts wished them
to."
Commenting on the above the Butte Min
ing Journal says: This is all bosh, and we
say so beaau'e we believe Mr. Haupt has
made the statement for the purpose of try
ing to create sympathy, or influence some
one towards his way of -thinking. Mr.
llpratt we have known personally for a
number of years, and he is a gentleman of
whom we never heard a word spoken against
either socially or in business matters, and
we defy this man Haupt to prove anything
different.
The truth of the matter is Mr. Spratt in
terested capital in the Trout creek placers
in Meagher county about four years ago
and on which they were running a bedrock
flume which has already :cost them $300,000
and employing a great many men. He has
also invested heavily in Madison county
quartz mines, also in the Jefferson bar
placers and a number of other ventures,
the amounts of which would probably
reach close to $1,000,000 cold hard cash.
Several years eago he obtained control of
Eldorado bar, the purchase of which cost
him in the neighborhood of $50,000. About
a year ago the power behind Mr. Haupt
found out through a party whose name we
could mentlon that Mr. Spratt was about
to sell the bar for a large tigure, the first
aoyment being even then deposited in the
ational bank of Helena. Several men in
the employ of Haupt immediately left for
the bar, and as they claimed, "jumped" it.
Through some powerful influence they sucn
ceeded in having a contest entered in the
land office, and without being able them
selves to get any money or other valuable
consideration, they did stop the sale, and
we have no doubt but that a copy of the
Inter Mountain containing Haupt's in
terview is at present on its way
to London to influence any deal
that may be pending there. Mr. Haupt, if
we remember right, is the man who made
an attempt some time ago to jump part of
the city of Helena. and we think we have
also seen his name mentioned as having
trouble several t!mes in the vicinity of
Butte in regard to the jumping business.
It is men of the Haupt stamp who do more
to keep outside capital from coming to our
state than any one reason, and for such
leeches we have no use. In this matter we
have no interest one way or the other, but
happen to know something of the case our
selves, and as Mr. Haupt has seen fit to
publish his side of the case with such
ssersions of fraud, we take the part of the
absent and make the story complete. When
fr. Haupt secures Eldorado bar it will
have to be with other means and tools than
ihose now employed.
During the last few days a number of
telegrams have been received in Helena, in
quiring as to the status of the property, if
there were any sapphire fields in the state
and intimating that the whole thing was a
fake. Everybody living in Montana and a
great many residing outside, know the
proposition is a legitimate one, that the
stones are in the bar, and that it will re
quire large capital to put in the machinery
to operate them. It is pretty evident, how
ever, that some one in London is making a
strong effort to prevent the successful ter
mination of the negotiations.
RUSH TO SLOCAN.
.arge Bodies of Ore Reported to Have
Been Found on Kootenat Lake.
News received to-day from Ainsworth,
British Columbia, is to the effect that the
town is depopulated. All the inhabitants
are rushing to what they believe, and what
promises to be a second Oceur d'Alene. Dr.
Eckilbourne, who has just returned from
Ainsworth, when interviewed on the sub
ject saidi
"Every one in Ainsworth was wild with
excitement. Men were seen running along
the street with a piece of bacon in one hand
and a pick in the other. The cause of all
this excitement was the arrival of five well
known and reputable miners with some rich
samples of ore from Slcan, eighteen
miles west of Kaslo, on IEuotenai
lake. They reported finding a large
body of solid ore from sixteen to twenty
five feet in width and a mile and a half
long. The ore assayed from 100 to 360
ounces in silver and 68.8 per cent. in lead.
These men are well known, and there is no
doubt that one of the greatest discoveries
of the age has been made. This is believed
by all mining men to be the beginning of
another Ccur d'Alene excitement, and
prospectors and capitalists alike are flock
ing into the country. Prof. Park. one of
the most competent assayers in the coun
try, made assays, and Scott McDonald, a
capitalist of Helena, who is now superin
tendent of the Skyline mine, has had as
says made which corroborated those of
Prof. Park. Since his assays were re
turned all doubt has vanished as to the
richness of the country, and people are
congregating around the camp in large
numbers."
EXCITEMENT NEAR POCATELLO.
Prospectors Are Locating Rich Claims on
tie Indian Reservatios.
The mining excitement started at Poca
tello, Idaho, a week ago is lively and in
creasing every day. Since mines were dis
covered in the townsite prospectors have
pushed their researches out on the reserva
tion and have been well rewarded. Of
course they are trespassers and lay them
selves liable to prosecution. They seem
willing to run these risks, however, and
have brought in samples that are immensely
rich, some worth over $1,500 per ton. Over
forty claims have been located. It is evi
ient the prospectors are runninggreat risks
from the interest manifested by the Indian
police. One of the police says he has or
ders to arrest all parties found locating
mines as well as those who have made loca
tions, which includes some of the foremost
business men.
New Ore RPoasting Furnace.
Mr. Patrick Marley, citizen of Boise, says
the Statesman, obtained a short time ago a
patent for an imrroved reverberatory ore
roasting furnace. Mr. Marley has worked
for many years at roasting ores of all de
scriptions, both in England and this coun
try. His last work was done for the al
mira Silver Mining company, of Benner,
Idaho.
TJhe furnace is built in many of its de
tails like the ordinary reverberatory fur
nace. It may be made of brick or any
other suitable material. He employs for
the working of geld ore, and some classes
whitb the secondary t -. ainm6 a hat
tfour, but any eeoveatent numprt eartb
may. he ld, provided that tle tlsme the
ayeduda The har are a . horion
The top of the primary reduoelag tt
is removable for the purpose of e at
the bat, and ma be made of
The draught flue, instead of etnrta I ths
head of the furnace in the center ap- bse
ing single, is bifurcated, each leg oprnina
into the furnae well out to th sidae, Tih
object of the arrangement is to draw end
spread the flame equally over the whole
hearth eurface, it having been found thai
with the single central fno the nfames did
not sufficiently roast the ore at" the sides.
The draught through each flue is controlled
by dampers. The flueof the primary fur
a nace has attached on its under side, be
yond the point of juncture of the legs, a
quicksilver arrester. This is simply a
small iron tank filled with water, and with
valves for drawing off the accumulated
mercury, The object of this is to arrest
a the escape of quicksilver, when partly
t amalgamated ore is being worked, and to
prevent the salivation of the operatives.
The Oro Fine District.
Oro Fino district is still problematical in
a measure, says the New Northwest. The
a several years of work and, to this commun
a ity, the vast amount of money that have
r been expended there have not brought the
results anticipated. But this does not
argue that the camp is without merit. The
history of all permanent mining camps is
fraught with blasted hopes and bitter die
appointments. Great results as a rule.
have only been achieved by great invest
ments. The Granite Mountain is an ex
ample; the Anaconda is an example; the
Ontario and Daly of Utah are examples.
.The trouble is in mining, the phenomenally
successful exceptions are accepted as the
standard. Every man who has a mine
expects to be a phenomenon and if it
develops a failure or even an ordinary
proposition it is condemned. Business
rules, it seems, do not apply in mining.
The minimum chance is taken and the
maximum results expected, and where loss
is sustained the whole scheme is condemned
as a delusion and a snare.
Meagher County Mines.
Edward Hurst has just struck a five-foot
gold lead near Sheep mountain at the head
of White Tail that promises to be a fine
mine, says the Husbandman. He was in
town this week with a few specimens that
were very rich.
James Marian will commence work on
the Umpire group of mines at Sheep moun
tain. This is a lead and silver prospect,
and the finding of gold and copper near by
leads to the belief that Sheep mountain
will prove one of the leading mining
canes of Meagher county.
George Hailey is interested in an excel
lent prospect on Willow creek, near this
place, and is putting down a shaft as fast
as men and money can execute the work.
The ore taken out runs sixty ounces in sil
ver and 30 or 40 per cent. in lead. This was
on the first leads located in the Castle
mountains.
The Summit Mine.
The shaft on the Summit mine is 300 feet
deep and no water. Mr. Allen says that he
is going to see what kind of rock there is
below water level unless he strikes hot
rook before he does water. The ore has
constantly improved in quantity and
quality.

H. B. Palmer, of Helena, Bids in Fergus

The board of county commissioners, of
Fergus county, held a special meeting last
Tuesday to consider a bid for the $10,000
worth of Fergus county bonds offered for
sale a short time ego. H. B. Palmer, of
Helena, made an offer of $47,000 for the
bonds at six per cent. per annum, the bonds
to run twenty years, with the option of
taking them up at the expiration of ten
years, if desired. Mr. Palmer offers to fur
nish the bonds, pay for the advertising and
all other necessary expenses. The money is
to be on deposit in the Merchants National
bank, of Helena, on Dec. 1, and to be avail
able as soon as the bonds are signed. The
offer is a little better than that of Harris &
Co., as the bonds can be called in at the
expiration of ten years if advisable. The
commissioners accepted the bid,.and, un
less there is some hitch that is now unseen,
the county will be ready to liquidate all
outstanding warrants early in December.

MONTANA
Business College.
We are grieved to see students going out from
school after a few weeks' course in some busi
ness college (our own not excepted), only half
fitted to perform the ordinary duties of business
life. It is true that we can furnish the finishing
touches in the science of accounts to. and make
a firs'-class accountant out of a person who has
had two or three years' experience in business for
himself or his employer, in three months' time,
for he realizes what his deficiencies are and what
principles must necesssrily be well impressed on
his mind; but we cannot make a first-class book
keeper out of a student who has had no previous
knowledge of actual business in less than six
months.
No school can conscientiously advertise to
complete a course in either shorthand or book
keeping in less time, for neither science can be
completed in less time, to say nothing of other
branches absolutely necessary to the qualification
of a first-class stenographer or bookkeeper.
Students often come to us, having been promised
a situation by some business man, to qualify for
one position, as if his whole snooues depended
on that one position. He asks us to fit him for
that position in the short time of one month or
six weeks. He performs his duties to the satis
faction of his employer, perhaps, but when he
comes to cope with a first-class bookkeeper or
stenographer, alas! he is "left." to use the school
boy expression. A sad experience teaches many
that it is better to be fully competent, though it
cost more, than partially fitted, to cope with an
other.
Now we want students to come for a term of
six months, in which time we guarantee to give
them a complete course, if they make good use
of their time. The theory of bookkeeping will
consume about four months, taking into conlsid
eration the other necessary branches. The other
two months will be given to business practice.
We mean to'go further than drvertise a business
practice department. We shall have it in our
school and get out of it the best results possible.
We have the best room for this department in
Helena.
Realizing that many stadents are not able to
lay out much money in an education, we shall
reduce tuition for six months from P$0 to $o0.
This reduction will, we think, be appreciated by
many stnudnts who are economet in their ex
penditure of money. The reduction will take
offset at once, and continue until Oct. 80, 1891.
Although the Montana Business College has
done but little advertising, except through its
students, it has been well patronized, as students
and others friendly to its existence are aware.
This can be accounted for only in the fact that it
was founded by men of integrity and moral
worth, and I opt alive on principles of true merit
its pr sent manager hotes to make it the ideal
business college of Montana. It takes time to
build up a school that will meet the approval of
an intelligent people, such as we have in Mon
tana.
We solicit the hearty co-operation of all that
have an interest in such an institution; also in
vite yen to come to Electric Lullding, corner
Sixth and Park avenues, and learn something of
the management and courses of study. Very
respePtftlly.
