Yonueoa all wear diamonds. Take a drink, and one for L+ Etaru IlThose who are conversant with Iontaba mining operations, will reeall that Mr. Hauser and Mr. Holler are not only inter. ested in the Helena & 'Frisco, or Badger, but are also in the Helena and Victor mine, in Missoula county, Mr. Hauner is the president of the latter company, as Mr. Bolter is of the former, and between the gentlemen there is a great deal of good natured argument as to which is the better mine, and which will ultimately lead in the matter of dividends. So when the presi dent of the 'Frisco resolved the good news from Mr. Esler, the thought crossed the mind of Mr. Ranuer that Mr. Holter would have the laugh on him. The former took the telegram and had read it partly through when there came a ring at the telephone and word was sent in that the Victor presi dent was wanted. "I'll bet it's a message from the Car low." exclaimed Mr. Hauser, as he went to answer the call. And he was right. It was A. P. Loberg talking, and he told Mr. Hanuer that he had just received informa tion from the Curlew that a strike of rich ore had been made in the 400-foot level of that mine. Mr. Hauser did got have quite as much detailed information about the strike in "his" company as Mr. Holter did of the find in the Frisco, but it was sufficient to place the rival presidents and owners in each on a more equal footing as regarded Christmas day news, so they both went to Mr. Loberg to find oat all about the last strike. 'he strike in the Helena & Frisco adds a good many hundred thousand dollars to the value of that property. There are no shafts in the mine, all the development be ing by tunnels. The mine is on a hill, and 400 feet down this hill a tunnel was ran, which struck the vein. Then to demon strate that the vein was deeper, another tunnel was started 350 feet below the first one. It is in this latter tunnel, at a dis tance in of 1,083 feet that Mr. Esler. reports the strike. As the first blast showed three feet of ore, it is probable when it issquared p.p it will show as much more. There are 850 feet of this ore above the tunnel just run the owners know they have and just how much below they cannot tell. It will take a long time to work out what is now in sight. The Badger was originally purchased for $60,00 by the Helena people who now own Sit, it has paid for itself, for the concentra tor and other equipment and in addition paid $270,000 in dividends. The strike just made ranks it with the best mines in Montans. Though it is located in the Camar d'Alenes, in Idaho, it is owned en tirely by Helena people and quite a number besides Messers Hauser and Holter may "wear diamonds" on the news. The Curlew strike, while not so impor tant as that in the Badger, is yet very good. There is a 400-foot shaft on the property, with levels at 100, 100, 200, 800 and 400 feet. The rich ore referred to above was struck in the last level 100 feet from the shaft. The ore in the Curlew is higher grade than that in the Badger, and there are large bodies of it. It has paid to date $70,000 in dividends. It is owned largely by the same people that control the Badger. The Elkhorsa Dividend. Circulars of the Elkhorn Mining oom pany have been received by the Helena stockholders, notifying them that an in terim dividend has been declared for the three months ending Not. 30, of one shil ling and sixpence per share.. This, the 0ir onlar says, leaves a balance to be carried forward of about £11,500, being a total dis tribution, in four interim dividends of seven shillings and sixpence per share during the year. "'ines the date of the last circular from the board," it says, "the explorations at the lowest level in the mine, the 1,250, have fully realized at an earlier date than was expected, the best anticipa tions of the directors as to the result of further developments. Although the profits earned for the vast quarter have been in excess of the previous quarter the board have deemed it prudent to distribute an interim dividend at the rate of 80 per cent per annum, leavinq the question of the die. position of the balanoe of profit for con sideration at the end of the financial year."

Helena Merchants in Almost Every Line Report a Very Good Business. Merchants and clerks were busy yester day gathering up and packing away the fag ends left over from the business of Christmas. In a great many lines they had nothing to pack away. bepause they had sold out. As a rule Helena merchants did not look for a big holiday business, but yesterday they acknowledged they were poor prophets, and seemed to be proud of the fact. While dealers in useful as well as pretty things, did five times the busi ness they had :hoped for, toy deal ers fared equally.is well, while the produce merchants and grocers were forced to con fessrn that there was plenty of money in Hel ena for the purchase of good things for the table. A prominent dry goods merchant said yesterday that on Thursday he sold more goods than in any one day for four years previous. A dealer in toys and fancy goods reported .the .same experience. My Thursday noon the stock of turkeys com menced to ran low, with the result that prices jumped to 25 cents a pound and the market was cleared at that price. The fact that the greater part of the business was for cash, and its extent indicates that there is plenty of money in Helena, and the occa sion only is needed to put it into circula tion.

Seeretary Rotwitt and Attorney General Haskell have returned from Missoula where they superintended the sale of some state land which brought $28,000. About six, acres were sold. The state owns a school section lying within the limits of the city of M issoula which was platted some months agbt" into lots and blocks. A number of people had built houses on the section before the land was turned over to the state by congress. After the laying out of the section into lots and blocks the land was appraised. This epablsd those who had ereeted dwellings to comei i~ an4 purochae the ground on which they stand without being snbjected to com petition, the preferesnce being given to those who were already located. The appraisers did not put any fancy prices on the lots, the figures ranging from $100 to $800 for lots with thirty feet frontage by 100 feet deep. The state received $8,500 in cash for 120 lots, bonds being given for the balance of the $28,000. Purchasers cannot ,very well complain about the terms of payment for the state gives them seven yesaes in which to pay the balance at a low Ate of interest. This is the first sale of state lands which has taken place in Montana and seems to give satisfaction to state ofi cers and purchasers alike. Under the law the state can only sell every other lot or block in the section, the proceeds being placed in the state treasury, or invested, for the benefit of the state school fund. The section at Missoula is considered to be one of the most valuable at present in the state coming to Montana under the en nabling act. Secretary RIotwitt thinks there is no doubt but that the state will realize $500,000 from it, which will be de. voted to educational purposes. What will be realized from the sales of the thousands of acres granted by congress is is difficult to estimate, but it is safe to say that a magnificent fund will be accumulated in the course of time. The nucleus of this fund was received from the treasury de partment at Washington a few months ago in the shape of a draft for $18,000, be ing five per cent of the sale of government lands in Montana since the admission of the state up to the time of payment. This sum with money in the treasury coming from escheated estates, making a total of $20,000 was invested a few days ago in Meagher county bonds, by the state treas urer, The five per cent of the sale of gov ernment lands comes to the state under an act of congress which provides that only the interest on this amount may be used for educational purposes, the principal forming a permanent fund. As sales are made by the government land office the state will receive additional sums in the future which will go to swell the school fund. To Manufacture Washing Machines. Articles of' incorporation of the Great Falls Novelty and Manufacturing com pany were received at the office of the sec retary of state yesterday. The company is formed to manufacture washing machines under a patent to M. E. Nichols dated June 9, 1885. The capital stock of $60.000 is assessable and divided into $1 shares. E. B. Largent, M. E. Nichols and J. M. Power, all of Great Falls, are, the incorpor ators. White Thibet fur sets only I$ at Fowles' Cash Store. The old reliable Sohuttler farm, quartz and logging truoks are sold by T. C.
