SCHOOL OF MINES TRUSTEES
DISCUSS THE SITUATION
DECIDED LAST NIGHT TO TENDER THEIR RESIGNATIONS, TO
TAKE EFFECT N EXT FEBRUARY.

e
The breach between the trustees of the
state school of mines and the state
board of education growing out of the
fact that the latter refused to honor the
contracts made by the trustees resulted
last night in the trustees announcing
their determination to resign from their
positions.
The meeting of the trustees was held
in the ofliee of Attorney James W. Forbis
and after considerable business had been
transacted, President Leonard submitted
a copy of the action of the state board of
education which confirms the election of
Profs. Winehell and Bowman as mem
bers of the faculty and fixes their sal
aries at $1.750 per annum instead of $2,400
as contracted for by the trustees. The
report showed further that the state
board refused to confirm the appoint
ment of an assistant secretary at a sal
ary of $50 per month and directed that
the office be discontinued. The report di
rected that the acting president establish
classes in "conditional subjects," the in
structor to receive a salary of $1,000 per
year; further that the title of Prof.
Leonard be changed from acting presi
dent to president.
Trustee Forbis moved that lh" title of
I'ruf. Le -tard be changed in accordance
with the recommendation by tbs state
heard but before th- m itlon was put it
was drei led to go into executive session,
After a brief session the doors were
thrown open and Trustee Mouithrop
stated Hint the state board of edueati in
had issue 1 three warrants for claims
that bad not been passed upon by the
trustees. He believed that the matter
Should be straightened up.
"If the stat? board passes upon bills
that we bave not passed upon it is their
funeral," said Mr. Forbis.
"It s I nr turn r.ow," raid Mr. Long.
Mi-. Forbis moved that the secretary lie
instructed to notify the state board of
education that warrants ha 1 been drawn
without the authority of the trustees for
the bills of C. L. Miller, A. N. Winehell
and the "woman scrubbing at the school
of mines." This motion was carried.
The matter of the action of the state
board in relation to reducing the salaries
of the faculty was then taken up and
ex-Gov. Rickards did not believe that
the notice was official.
"I have written to the secretary of the
state board of education several times
and he never answered me," remarked
Mr. Moulthrcip.
Gov. Rickards said, that the notice was
not offlc'al enough for him and he did
not believe that they should take any ac
tion until the report was received. Mr.
Mouithrop stated that Prof. Leonard had
told him that the reason that the state
board had allowed only $1,750 was be
cause they had established a scale of
wages in other states. He said that oth
ed officers in Montana state institutions
were receiving more than that sum.
Ex-Gov. Rickards still advised cabtion
and Mr. Forbis said;
"I will act tonight."
Ex-Gov. Rickards said that he felt ag
grieved and did not think that the trus
tees had been treated respectfully in the
matter but he was loth to advise resign
ing at that time. He felt like postponing
action, as they had not been officially no
tified.
"it is official enough fur me not to have
anything more to do with them,"' said
Mr. Forbis. He then offered the follow
ing resolution:
"That, whereas, the members of the
board of trustees of the state school of
mines are residents of the city of Butte,
where the state school of mines is by acc
of the legislature located, and
"Whereas, It is to be presumed that
the appointment of the members of this
board was based upon the fact of their
residence and assumed knowledge of
local conditions, and
"Whereas, The board has in its best
judgment elected the faculty of the
state school of mines in its best inter
ests, and has exercised its best judg
ment in the selection of the faculty and
the fixing of salaries, having at all times
in view the cost of living and the high
character of talent necessary to conduct
the school of mines to the credit of the
people of, and the state of Montana, and
"Whereas, It became necessary to
procure the services of professors re
siding out of the state, and even out of
the United States, basing the selection
upon their qualifications; said professors
accepting the positions upon the repre
sentations of this board that their salar
ies were fixed, and which were, in the
opinion of this board, reasonable; and
"Whereas, After the selection of the
professors, and their acceptance of the
positions, undr a fixed salary, the state
board of education has seen fit to repu
diate the contracts of this board: has
seen fit further to refuse to indorse the
employment of an assistant secretary to
the board and faculty, the employment
of whom was considered necessary in
order that the accounts and detailed
business of the board and faculty should
be properly kept, and
"Whereas, The state board of educa
tion has, according to an authorized in
terview with one of its members, based
its action upon statements of law, which
are absolutely incorrect, and has shown

Dennis McGorl and Frank Ewing were
arrested last night on suspicion of hav
ing been connected with the attempted
robbery of Frank Austin and^dick Ken
nen, and both are being hela ior ide^i
fication. A charge of disturbing the
peace was placed opposite the name of
Ewing. McGorl is the man who was
suspected of being implicated in the
Copper State saloon holdup about two
years ago, and ror which Pat Quinn
and "Hot Water Slim" are serving 20
year sentences in the penitentiary. Mc
Gorl was rooming with Quinn when the
robbery took place, but there was not
sufficient evidence to convict him. Chief
of Police Lavell says that if he finds
it impossible to connect McGorl with
the attempted holdup of the two
Frenchmen, he will at least see that
McGorl leaves the city, if he has to
take him out himself.

itself, by its action and statements, un
acquainted with the conditions govern
ing the conduct of the state school of
mines; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we, the trustees of the
Montana state school of mines, consider
that we are not justified in holding a
position subordinate to a board, the
meetings of which are infrequent, and
which is not in a position to review the
action of this board or to instruct it:
that our resignation is hereby tendered
to the governor of the state, to take ef
fect on tlie 1st day of February, 1901. The
'date of tlie taking effect of the resigna
tion is announced for a sufficient length
of time in the future to enable the in
coming state board of education and the
incoming governor to select successors,
and that in the meantime the state
school of mines shall not be without a
directory board."
After the resolution had been dictated
the trustees decided to lay the matter on
the talile and to hold another meeting on
2 o'clock today to take final action on it.
Prof. Leonard made an extended re
port of the meeting of the state board
of education and also railed attention to
1 he tact that the bill passed by ihe sen
ale last May, if it became a law would
increase the revenues of the school of
mines materially. A portion of the re
port n ad as follows:
"Since the last meeting of the board
! have received letters from persons
•A'ho have interested themselves in a
lii'l now pending in th * lower house of
congress. The purpose of this bill is to
grant aid to the extent of $15,000 per
annum to such state school of mines
are or may lie established. This bill orig
inated in the senate: was passt-d by
the unanimous vote of that body on
May 14. 1900, and is known as senate bill
No. 39,52.
"The house committee on mines and
mining thereupon laid aside house bill
No. 10453, which it had prepared, and,
on May 22, 1900. reported in its stead
the senate bill with the erasure of six
words therein, and recommended the
passage of the bill with that modifica
tion. This report was referred to the
committee of the whole and can be
called up for action at any time.
A letter from Hon. F. W. Mondell,
chairman of the house committee on
mines and mining, lias been received, in
viting co-operation, and speaking favor
ably of the prospects of the passage of
the bill. Following out tlie suggestions
of Chairman Mondell's letter, corres
pondence has been opened with per
sons who would naturally be interested
in the measure, or are in position to
lender efficient aid in securing its fa
vorable consideration.
"If the bill becomes a law, it will givo
to our school of mines $10,000 on July
*,1, 1901, $11,000 on July 31, 1902, and so on,
increasing the sum of $1,000 each year,
until the maximum of $15,000 is reached,
alter which the annual appropriation
will lie $15,000. This sum is to tie paid
to the state treasurer, and by him paid
over immediately upon the order of tlie
board of trustees of the school of mines
to the treasurer of that board."
Trustee Forbis was instructed to write
to Congressman Campbell and urge his
co-operation in the passage of the bill.
Sir. Forbis as one of the committee ap
pointed to thank Chairman diaries \V.
Clark for liis generous offer to endow a
chair in the school of mines reported
that he had met Mr. Clark and the latter
had authorized him to state to the trus
tees that he would endow tlie chair by
giving $1.000 annually and perpetually
and an extra $1,000 per year for the next
five years. He had no desire to name
Hie chair or the professor who would
occupy it. The offer was accepted and
Prof. Winehell remarked that he was
glad that there was going to be one
chair, the salary of which would lie
definitely fixed.
It was decided that the chair be known
as the Charles W. Clark Chair of Min
ing Engineers; also that a table lie
placed in the Montana state school of
mines building and inscribed:
"The Chair of Mining Engineers, En
dowed by Charles W. Clark in the year
1900."
The following resolution of thanks was
adopted by a rising vote:
That the board of trustees in behalf
of Montana express to Mr. Clark its
thanks for his beneficence in being the
first to so far appreciate the objects and
1 urposes of the institution to assist it by
this endowment and trust that others
appreciating the future of the institu
tion may exercise a like liberality."
Mr. Mouithrop stated that the Bur
lington railroad was the onl> one that
had agreed to furnish transportation to
Ihe faculty in their trips over the state
and adjoining states in search of speci
mens, etc. The B. A. & p. stated that
it would furnish transportation to the
extent that the others did. A resolution
of thanks was passed to these two roads.
On behalf of the special committee
appointed to go to Helena in relation to
the sale of the school bonds to the
state treasurer. Trustee Mouithrop re
ported that the form of bond had been
approved by the state board of land
commissioners and the treasurer had
taken the $120,000 of bonds bearing 5 per
cent interest.

ANOTHER NEW
OPERA HOUSE
REPORTED THAT C. W. CLARK
WILL CONSTRUCT ONE.
If ail the new theater projects are
carrier out Butte will not feel the want
of a first class play house as in the past,
A few days ago the Thornton estate pen
pie announced that in the spring they
would erect a handsome new theater
to lie run in connection with their new
hotel and now it is announced that the
Clarks are to give the city another.
Reports regarding this latest an
nouncement vary. One lias it that east
ern theatrical men who have long had
designs on Butte will build the theatre
and include it in a circuit of houses
tow managed by them, while another is
to the effect that the theraer will be
built by Charles W. Clark for Dick P.
Sutton, the present manager of the
Grand opera house and the Union Fam
ily theatre. As there appears to be no
doubt that Mr. Sutton is to have the
new' house in the event it materializes,
the latter report is regarded as the cor
îect one.
It is stated that the plans for the
new house have already been drawn
and that ground will lie broken in a few
weeks. Tlie site will lie on the west side
of Montana street between Broadway
and Park street.
According to the plans as given out,
the building is to lie 75 by 120 feet with r.
stage 45 feet deep. The main entrance
will be on Montana street with an en
trance also, on Broadway. There is to
be a balcony and gallery and a hand
some foyer and the house is to seat
about 2.000 people. The building is to
cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.
