was in the city
by A J. McKay, whose mining interests
in the Mayflower district are quite ex
tensive. Back of Mr. Bohn is a strong
English syndicate. The property is own
ed by Knight Bros, of Whitehall, Henry
Filing, and ex-Sheriff Haines of Madison
county, and is under bond to the English
company for $140,000. The interest owned
by Mr. Haines and the Virginia City
banker, formerly belonged to David
Bricker, and when David went away in
a hurry about two years ago he left his
account with the Jefferson \ alley liaci
ing company unpaid. The account
amounted to $250 and Bricker's interest
in the Sunlight mine was attached and
sold at sheriff's sale, bringing only
enough to pay the Indebtedness. Now
this interest, one-fifth of the property,
which was sold two years ago for $2u0,
will probably be resold for $30.000.
Mr. Bolin stated to an Inter Mountain
reporter last night that the property is
looking well. He is pushing development
work, and is sinking a deep, double com
partment shaft, and has recently installed
a fine hoisting plant. If the showing con
tinues with depth the bond will undoubt
edly be taken up. Mr. Bohn recently re
turned from London where he went to
make a report to the directors of his com
pany.

the work being done on the Flagstaff, as
it is the first attempt to develop any of
the properties in the Rainy creek district,
and as it is one of the most promising
claims in that district, measured by its
surface indications, and has the same
character of ore and general features as
the others, it may safely be said the fu
ture of the Rainy creek district depends
very much upon the result of the work
now being done in tiii? crosscut tunnel.
! The Rainy creek district is the near
est to Libby of any of the mining dis
tricts. and is the easiest one to get in and
out of. and some of the best assays ever
had in Libby have been obtained from
ore taken from there. The surface indi
cations are considered by mining men to
be exceptionally strong, the formation is
granite, and values are principally in
gold and silver. To the north of Rainy
creek it is reported t lia t there is an ex
tensive contact of porphyry and lime,
which has never been prospected.
J. P. Mitchell, who is the electrician at
the Snowshoe mine, is in town in con
nection with the construction of the tele
phone line from Libby to the mine, a dis
tance of about 20 miles. Mr. Mitchell
says that work will commence some time
during the coming week and that it will

YESTERDAY'S EXPLOSION.
An explosion occurred between 5 and 6
o'clock last evening, which was very dis
tinct to west side residents and caused no
little anxiety. The matter was promptly
reported to the police, and Captain Daw-]
son was for a time under the impression
that a boiler had exploded somewhere to
the west of the city. The captain also
visited the Gas company's plant on South
Main street to see that everything was
all right, and caused diligent inquiry to
be made but without result until late in
the evening when it was learned that the
explosion was caused by molten slag, dis
charged at the Butte Reduction works.
An unusually large amount of slag was
dumped out, and run over a sheet of ice
below, the explosion following with ter
rific force. Fortunately no one was hurt
although a great many people on the
west side were badly frightened.

PEACEMAKER Ï0RPEY.
Officer Torpey was called to 412 North
Main street this morning to act as peace
maker. Thomas Mulcahey, came home
drunk and became so abusive to Ills fam
ily that it was necessary to send for an
officer. Torpey admonished Mulcahey to
be good, and on his promising to do so let
him go but told him the next time he
was called to the place hc would arrest
him.
POLICE COURT.
In police court this morning Bert
Marsh, a lawyer, who was arrested la?t

hours to plead. . ,
John Van Buren, charged with drunk
enness and disturbance of the peace, was
fined $10 and costs and went to jail.

TRAVELING MEN

TOO COLD TO DO BUSINESS
More Than Six Hundred Commercial j
Travelers Do Business in
Montana.
During the past week, while the mer
cury has been lower than for many
previous winters, the traveling man has
had little to do but to remain indoors,
fiRure up what hc would have 8old> look
over last year's order book, and antici- ,
pate for the future. Butte is and always
has been very popular headquarters for
commercial travelers, and during the past
week, on account of the intense cold,
many have been forced to remain inac-
tive in the city, waiting for the weather
to clear up.
--- j
It may be surprising to some but there J
are more than 600 commercial travelers
who circulate in Montana and Butte has i
more than her share of resident sales- j
men. The salaries of these men aggre-
gate at least $1.200.000, most of which is
spent among the customers of their stock
in trade.
