Monday Morning —THE BUTTE MINER— March 1, 1920 5 ## Column 1 # LUTEYS **BEST PLACE TO TRADE** ## The Week to Eat Fish **A WHOLE CARLOAD AT SPECIAL PRICES** This is decidedly fish week. You can enjoy these fine fish daily without tiring of them. The reason they are so sweet and of such fine flavor is because they are caught in the all year round are cold waters of a north Canada lake—Cache lake, about 120 miles north of Edmonton, Alberta. We guarantee them to be absolutely fresh, as they are frozen solid within half an hour after being taken from the water and cleaned. Draw the frost out by placing them in cold water and you'll find them just as fresh as though you were fishing and had just pulled them out of the water. These most reasonable prices are possible only by carload shipment direct from the lake where caught, and selling on a very small margin to move out the entire carload in less than a week. Don't delay taking some for a meal today. You will then want a fish meal every day this week. At the extremely low prices there is great economy in buying these fish so often as possible while the car lasts. **WHITEFISH** 1½ to 2½ lbs. each, 3 to 6 pounds each, 4 to 7 pounds each, special, lb. ....15c special, lb. ....14c special, lb. ....12½c **Fancy, Plump, Juicy 40c Lemons**—Special, doz., 28c; ½ doz., 15c **Fancy Butte Washington Apples**—All the popular kind; also the extra snappy and juicy, elegant flavor, from fresh Washington car; you may order a crate or any part at same price; medium or small.

EARNS $87,169 ## For Year 1919 Dividends Paid Total of $120,000; May Close Down Piegan-Gloster Property for the Present. Barnes-King Development company earned $87,163.74 in the year 1919 and paid dividends totaling $179,000, according to annual report of President W. A. Gaylord, which was filed in district court Saturday. Operations at the Mountain, Kendall and Shannon properties this year netted $84,512.72 sustained at the Piegan-Gloster property, which operation will be closed down awaiting a period of lower costs. **President's Statement.** The President's Statement follows: "To the stockholders of the Barnes-King Development Co.: "The results of operation of your properties for the year 1919 are presented in the accompanying reports of your general manager. "The general tendency of costs continued high during the year, raising our unsatisfactory operating conditions and consequent lower earnings. "The Piegan-Gloster property shows a loss of $143,184 for the year. This was largely due to the development work put through on the property, not heretofore explored, and which showed no satisfactory ore values. The cost of this development was $48,453.78, or about 33 per cent of last year's total expenditures on the property, exclusive of equipment. While some development was necessary, its extent was not what was hoped for generally, and now that this property has been more favorable developments expected in the near future, the Piegan-Gloster mine will be closed down, curtailing a time when lighter exploration can be carried on at lower costs. "During 1919 the Kendall operations were placed in good working condition, including some in typical Columbus, one of the best ore developments discovered. Two properties were under operation and results in silver production have been thoroughly satisfactory and encouraging. Since 1911 and to the close of 1919, we have distributed to your company 411 properties, of which 229 are still producing. Some of these including the North Mountain, Piegan-Gloster have shown additional work which if properly cared for and search for good, new properties will be given attention. "During 1919 your company paid dividends in cash of 16 cents per share—totaling $120,000 per shares—totaling dividends from this property. "Respectfully submitted. "J. F. GAYLORD, Secretary. "P. S. Total distribution for the month of January, 1920, have just been distributed.—J. B. G." **Financial Summary.** The Shannon mine produced 2,785 tons of ore, earning $4.95 per ton, or totaling $13,775.25, or the income averaging $2.53 per ton—giving billion earning [illegible] property as against $53,648. "Financial summary follows: "Total profit from operations of Shannon property, $53,000.00. "Loss from operation of Piegan-Gloster, $143,184.00. "Loss from operation of North Mountain, $7,207.00. "Net earnings from property operations, $43,009.00. **Miscellaneous Income:** "Rental Liberty bonds, "Interest received, Liberty bonds, "Miscellaneous, "Total miscellaneous income, $6,168.74. "WILLIE ANSWERED. A minister visiting the Sunday school in a small village asked a lad of 12 what he would do if he had to do in order to get to heaven. After thinking for a moment Willie replied: "Very true," replied the doctor, "but what if your mother was ill?" "We must get sick, said Willie, 'and drill on to get to hell as soon as possible." --- **RED CROSS WITHDRAWS FROM ANNUAL SEAL SALE** The Christmas seal campaign for December will feature the double-barreled subject of the national health campaign against tuberculosis, instead of the double or supplementary use of the cross and the torch.

Next Sunday Mr. Owen will reply in detail to the questions and objections and give a general summing up of the subjects. He has been discussing the utilization of science as a foundation for future religious teaching, as one of the vital problems of the meetings, which are held at the First Presbyterian church each Sunday at 12:30 every Sunday. --- **Dad speaks one word for me and two for himself when he tells Mother to order more** [Image: Post Toasties advertisement] **Post Toasties (NEW)** **Superior Corn Flakes** *Made by Postum Cereal Co., Battle Creek, Mich.* He likes them...same as I do *Bobby* ## Column 3 # WELL KNOWN BUTTE MEN BUY EXCLUSIVE PARK STREET STORE [Two portrait photographs: EDWARD SOFTLEY. | JAMES J. MURPHY.] E. A. Brown, of the Brown company, who was for many years general manager of the Hennessey company, has sold the controlling interest in the Brown company, which has been operating the store known as Green's, on West Park street, which is one of the exclusive ladies' apparel stores of the city. The purchasers are Edward Softley and John P. Fortin, jr. Messrs. Murphy and Brown retain the possession of the store and the active management of the store. Mr. Brown is retiring from the active direction, and keeping his connection. James J. Murphy is virtually a native son, having been a resident of the city practically all his life, and having been connected with the Hennessey company for the past 22 years, starting with it as general store. The Hennessey store was situated in the clothing and will carry, if possible, a better and larger line. --- # POISON WHISKY WORKS MIRACLES ## Fear of Wood Alcohol Booze Better Than a Thousand Sleuths to Enforce Prohibition, Says Chief Murphy. Fear of wood alcohol whiskey has done more to enforce the prohibition laws than could a thousand policemen. That is the view of Police Chief Murphy. Every "mickey" promoter who slips a bottle from under his own coat to a customer lately, under the threat of Prohibition going out of business, he would like to take his stuff to a chemist for analysis before being turned over to police. That's the condition of affairs, that. The customer wants to know what it is before he tries it. They do about as much business or rather as little, as the fellow who had only a rum shade and a fur coat to sell. **Holiday Deaths Sead Score.** The deaths from Poison have [illegible] that the bootlegger's to harden his hands into the occupation. The sudden scare of whisky selling that the enforcement started the grand decline in the bootlegging business. Some suckers will still buy anything in the way of booze that's offered them all as to ten, according to the police, but the typical bootlegger, especially the type that hasn't come from their own element, are pretty well exhausted. **Peddlers Won't Drink.** "You know a man has a bottle—the friendship is barred," detective [illegible]. "The man selling you a drink today is the man who tells you a drink today is well. Usually he'll be the last testing his sale. The bootleggers are pretty well through as a class.

OF C. PEACE TIME PROGRAM PROGRESSING ### Reconstruction Work of Organization Being Extended Rapidly, Report Shows. The official report of their reconstruction activities for the 12 months ending January 1, 1920, shows the date when this phase of their work was substituted for the war-time service of the Knights of Columbus. It shows that while the war-camp work was gradually brought to a close until Nov. 1, when the organization was formally committed to finally withdrawing from the camps, the organization continued in the camps, furnishing camp personnel and mode of operation to the end. The end of the work in the camps found the Knights with a balance of $550,000 remaining in the war fund. The Knights continued their reconstruction work, this notwithstanding the fact that in carrying on this work they had no revenue in the shape of sale of goods or contributions of people in the service, as their policy from the war period, their regulations having no fees for any purpose. The Knights' system of employment service maintained a staff of thirty-nine and ten hundred secretaries allocated to the care of more than three-hundred's 3,000 councils. The Knights employed more than fifteen hundred men in civil employment, placing them in jobs varying from one to three months—and they have been particularly successful in locating employment opportunities. More than 70,000 former service men were placed in civilian employment by the Knights. Of the re-educational efforts, more than 41 per cent— The vocational training initiated during the war period is being extended, where 45,000 men were enrolled in the classes. They spread this work to the schools in the camps, supplying the teachers, textbooks and equipment. In reviewing the work of the hospitals, the Knights had 42 camp schools. At the close of the war period, they turned over to the military with the prohibition issue. Uncertain of the prospects of civilian employment, after the closing of liquor men the Knights made the initial [illegible] --- **TWO MEN ARRESTED ON DRUNKENNESS CHARGE** Tom Trainor and George Kelly were arrested Sunday on a charge of drunkenness. Both men were taken into custody on a disorderly charge. Trainor was fined $5 on 100 bonds. George Mason was placed in a cell on a charge of vagrancy. Detectives Farrito and Andrews drew were responsible for all five arrests. --- **RED CROSS BALL BLUE** Issues snowy white beautiful clothes Only 10 cents per package.
