Thai An artist iu the fake line apisared at the comer of Front aud Sixth streets last Thursday and by a series of jokes and fool nonsense gathered a ((liable crowd around hiui and pro ceeded to give his views of advertis ing iu which bo stated that it was only necessary to make people talk about you to advertisa your buisuess aud tint newspaper advertising did him no good. Judging from the newspaper comment all bIouk the lino regarding this fellow, nF ; aper advertising would not help hint. He produced what purported to bo an electric licit, with wonderful powers, and told of Its healing qaulities. It was the same old story of hoping to get something' for nothing, and wind ing up with getting nothing for some thing. He did a brisk business hand ing out belts and taking iu dollars ai d now belts aru cheap, iuoso who were gulled, probably sworo off the uext day. Another fakir tried to work the crowd but with small success.

It is expected that the work will be completed and' the dredger rlrdy for operation about March 1. The firm of Champliu & Co. posed of F. L. Champlin, Christian and M. M. Mc formerly of Chicago, but for the past seven or eight j'ears they have boon actively engaged in dredger mining at Rnnnock, Montana, operating two dredgets, one of 2000 yards capacity operated by electricity and the other a 2300 yard machine operated by steam. These pentlemen became interested in Foots creek last spring aud bought the Lance property, paying IM.IKK) for 1 00 acres. They have also purchas ed about 600 acres besides, which makes them the exclusive owners of proiicrty along both sides of Foots creek from its mouth to the Ruble mine. Thorough prospect work was done and 30 or more prospects holes sank hy a keyhole drilling machine aiross the old channel which is 1000 feet wide. This is virgin soil as far as mining operations are concerned as heretofore only ground sluicing lias been done and no bed reck has been exposed. Tho company commenced its opera tions by tho bnilding of a dam across the lower end of the natural basin. This dam is 20x800 feet and is intend ed to form a reservoir to float the dredge when It is completed. The dredge itself is 1 12,' feet long and feet wide aud will be equipped with two boilers each weighing 12 tons, engines and other necessary machinery. The -jlovator will be equipped with 40 buckets each bucket and link weighing one ton and with a capacity of eight cubic fuel. Willi this elevator they will be able to dig to a depth of 80 feet although the es timated depth necessary to go is DO feet. The engines will be powerful enough to dig up the bedrock itself, which is a blue porphyry. At present, there aro 60 men work ing, a large number being engaged in cutting wood. Already 1500 coids of wood have been cut When the dredge is in opcratiou, it will require from 13 to 15 cords of wood every 24 hours. It is estimated that th company has enough ground to keep the dredge in oixratiou from 10 to 15 years. The machinery is being shipped from Chicago aud already two car loads have arrived. There will be iu all about 12 carloads of machinery. M. A. Wertz has been engaged to huirl the machinery from Gold Hill to tho mine and left Mouday with three four horse teams. SKicial trucks with 12-ilich tire ! 4 inch steel aalrs are provided for hauling the heavy pieces. WOMAN'S CLUB NEWS.
