SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2. 2.-Wells, Fargo
Il Co.'s annual circular gives the product of
the precious metals west of the Mississippi
river. including British Columbia, and re-
ceipts in San Francisco by express from the
west coast north of Mexico during 1870.
which shows the aggregate products to be
as follows: Gold. $32, $50, 920; silver, s3s,
623 Sl2; lead. $4,2s 500. The years re-
suit is less by IS, ,SO5 1926 than for 1873. Cali
fornia shows decrease in gold of $14O,-
842, and in silver of $3.50, 146. Nevada
shows falling off of $13, 1S4, 235, the yield
from the Comstock being only $S, $50 ,562 as
against s21. 295, ,042 for 1878. The product
of the Eureka district is So, ,858, 261 as
against $9Sl, ,406 for 1878. Utah shows a
falling off of $495. 734. Colorado shows an
increase of over $500, ZOO, chiefly from tho
Leadville district. 1t has been exceedingly
difficult to arrive at the actual production
of Leadville, two of the most reliable re-
ports varying more than 80 100000. Re-
ports adopt an average. Dakota shows an
increase Of 1898. 1893.

celiuioid factory Explosion.

NEWARK. N. j., January 5.-A fearful
explosion took place. this morning in the
converting room of the CelluloId Manufac-
turing Company, by which three men were
instantly killed and two others wounded so
that they cannot survive. The workmen
were in their accustomed places, when
from some unknown cause mass of cellu-
loid, which is highly infammable. suddenly
exploded, destroying the one story brick
bailding with all its contents. VIM. Fem
ter, aged Is, was killed. His body was
found in the ruins, a ghastly spectacls.
Under this body were the disfigl red re-
mains of Frederick Stiles, SO charred that
they were scarcely recognizable. John
Yates was also killed. Spencer Atwood
died in ten minutes from concussion of ths
brain. Elmer Bogart and Frederick Price
were fearfully burned and taken to the
hospital. Stephen Wade was severely but
not dangerously injured. The loss on the
building and contents is estimated at SO.
600. The manager of the celluloid works
says the explosion probably occurred from
gas at the machine run by Fred stiles who
was killed. The machine was used for
mixing and grinding materials.

THE BUTTE CHARTER CONTEST.

At the recent term of court Mr.. Charles
3. Trowbridge, of Butte, by his attorney,
Stephen DeWolf, Esq, applied for an al
Tentative writ Of prohibition against the
officers of the City Of Butte, the occasion
being, we believe, that the city had levied
certain taxes and ines on the applicant.
On January I'd the Court granted the TEN.
porary injunction and ordered the Mayor,
Council, Police Magistrate and all officers
acting under them to appear at 10 a. m.
Jan. eth and show cause Why the in
injunction shall not be made perpetual.
In the mean time the city procse 1ings
against Trowbridge remain in statu quo.
The allegation mt.de is that the right of
voting guaranteed by the general election
laws OF Montana was denied IN the act
authorizing the submission Of the charter
to election, that only taxpaying house,
holders were permitted to vote, and that
consequently there was no legal submis-
sion of the charter. This case, therefore,
brings up the contest over the Butte char
ter in it's widest scope, and it is best that
it should be judicially determined and set
at rest. We think there is no doubt about
the result. If the Legislature had the
power to enact the general election law it
had the power to enact the charter cleo
tion law and so long as it did not violate
tho Constitution or laws of the United
States could make any restrictions 1t chose.
Undoubtedly it was not intended to restrict
the franchise to the extent it has been held
the phraseology actually required. but even
that restriction was within its powers.

tion, with several other members of the

claim. The discussion became SO warm
that the argument was postponed for ten
days by the Commissioner. Boudinot and
Adai. however, continued the controversy
ina heated manner outside of the Com
mssioner's room. Finally each struck at
the other with their canes and then clinch-
ed and fell to the floor. They were then
separated by the department watchman be-
fore serious injury was inflicted. The

Proposals for Bonds.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The Secreta-
ry of the Treasury has issued circular an
bouncing that proposals for the sale to the
Government of five million dollars of any

cretion, and not to exceed the rate below
stated, will be received at the Office of the
Assistant Treasurer of the United States
in New York, until noon on wednesday,
January Z, at which time bids will be
opened and awards declared. The bonds
thus purchased are to be applied to the
sinking fund as provided in sec. 49, 1914,

of February 8, 1861 : Skies of 80 at 1929 g;

character of the bonds offered, whether
registered or coupon, and under what acts
they were issued, and may bs for any
amount not less than $4,000. The offers
must be for sale Of bonds with accrued in
terest to and including the 7sh inst, and
each proposal must inclose certified

result is ascertained and those of the 9th

which he submitted to tho tribunal propos-
ed. The Supreme Court, composed of men
of both political parties, met and adjudica-
ted the case. The decision is unanimously
adverse to the Garcelon conspirators on
every point presented and they have no
ground left to stand upon. Their position
is the more unenviable in that they have al

declared by the highest legal authority not

ever, decline to take seats and the Legisla-
ture thus he constituted OF those duly elec-

or other wise, to be gained by the political
trickery attempted by Garcelou If success
full, but now that it is crushed by legal de-
cisiou the recoil upon the Democratic party
will be tremendous. 1t is another of those
monumental blunders by which, under a
wise dspensation of Providence, the De-
mocracy have succeeded for so many years
in keeping the Republican party in power.

I'm another column Hon ID. II. Weston,
Territorial Treasurer, gives notice that be
has cash in the treasury to pay warrants
Nos. 81 to $50, both inclusive. The most
significant fact stated in the notice Is that
these warrants comprise all not heretofore
called for payment. In other words, to-
day, for the first time in our history, the
Territory of Montana has not one outstand-
ing warrant which she Is not able and ready
to pay on presentation. In tact, the Terri
torial Auditor yesterday drew his warrant
upon the Treasurer for over $2e0, which
was paid by Mr.. Weston on presentation.
This has never before occurred in Montana
and does not often occur anywhere. It
means that our current receipts, over and
above the amount required by law to be
applied to our sinking fund, are in excess
o! our current expenses. The fact that
our bonds sell readily at premium and
that we have no warrant indebtedness re-
fleets great credit upon the wise legisla-
tion concerning finances enacted by our
legislature, and upon the capable man-
agement Of our Territorial affairs by che
officers in charge thereof. f.-Independent, TN.

WAITING FOR A RIsE.-Ths Courier

1t will be seen from the foregoing that
our contemporary 10 mistaken. We did
not intimate that Gallatin county farmers
had no market for their surplus crops, but
did say that in this county we knew Of
instances where the crops were not disposed
OF for the reason OF there being no market
We agree with the Courier editor that there
is possibility Of bis being better informed
In regard to the actual condition Of things
In Galiatin county. IL not. he ought to
be. Again, referring to the list Of delin.
quent taxpayers, it might be well to say
but few, indeed, OF those published In
Deer Lodge county are farmers. Our as
SCISSOR made it bis business to list the prop
erty Of each and euery one. The farmer
was not taxed any more on the dollar with
his ranch, stock and improvements than
was the prospector and laboring man on
property he chose to enumerate and speci-
fy az bis belongings. OF this latter class,
we are told by the treasurer, many being
transients fa,ied to receive notice of their
indebtedness. The published notice was
not delinquent tax sale. Hitherto %
per cent. has been paid for the delivery by
officers to personal delinquents of just such
notice AZ that given in the New NORTH
WEST. As matter Of economy it was
resolved TO publish the list. The tax-pay-
ers OF Gallatin county own real, while
many in Deer Lodge only own personal
property. The taxes Of this county
will be collected with "a little
proportional expense as those Of Gallatin.

the supply the farmer will be on an equal
footing with the merchant, who has now
