WONDERFUL POPULARITY OF THE
RENOWNED MEDICINE.

The Grcatest Curative success of the Age
"A Voice from tho People.
No medicine introduced to the public

best known curative article in the
world. Its marvellous renown is not
que to the advertising 1t has received.

virtues. It does all that is claimed for

What 1t Did for am Old Lady.
CosHoCroN STATION, n. Y.
December %. 1878.
Gents-A number of people had been
using your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In fact, one case, q lady
of over seventy years, had been sick for
years, and for the past ten wears 7 have
known her she has not been able to be
around halt the time. About six
months ago she got so feeble she was
helpless. Her old remedies, or ply
slclans, being of no avail, | sent to De-
post, forty-tive miles. and got a bottle
of Hop Bitters. 1t had such a very
beneficial effect n her that one bottle
improved her so she was alb to dress
herself and walk about the house.
When she had taken the second bottle
she was able to take care of her own
room and walk out to her neighbours,
and has improved ali the time since.
My wife and children also have derived
great benefit from their use.

Our Helena friends are rejoicing in what
appears TO be a we'll grounded hope that the
Northern Pacific railroad will be built on a
line that will pass by its doors. This may be
so, but we think that the Importance of Sc
curing the carrying trade of Butte will cut
some figure in determining the course of that
great tho%roughfare. A city That bids fair to
become soon the leading one in the Great
Northwest is an object to court the attention
of the men who have the course of that rail-
road in charge.

The Griffith valuation, of which 50 much
has recently been heard, is the valuation of
tn. land ofIreland, made for the purpose of
taxation in the year 1925 by Sir Richard
John Griffith, L. l.. d., a distinguished en-
gineer. The land-le aguers are willing to pay
a certain per cent. of this valuation for rent,
while the landlords prefer to place their W
valuation upon their lands, and fix their own
price for rents. As we understand it the
land is valued every fourteen years for the
purpose of taxation.

AN ANSWER.

The Neu-North-W Vest says: "The most
ardent divisionists might, after a short DELHI
Grafton, discover their prospects were not as
dattering as they had supposed, while OPP
ponents of the measure might see the error of
their ways and be convinced At the outset
of our discussion of the county division
question W offered a reasonable space in the
sired to express his convictions in regard to
the matter. In response to our invitation
we have received several well-written articles
in favor of division, but not one in opposition
to the measure. While we do not consider
that the silence, of its very few opponents
arises from a want of som reason that they
entertain against the proposed division, yet
we are constrained to believe that such rea-
sons lack the necessary force and weight to
justify or encourage their holders to give
them public expression. We have yet to
hear a single legitimate reason advanced
why Butte and the southern portion of this
county should not be granted their request
for a division. We have failed to see in the
columns of our Deer Lodge cotemporary any
argument in opposition to the measure
worthy Of a moments serious consideration.
Then, how can those " ardent divisionists," in
view of the utter absence of a fact or a figure
to convince them of the error of their position,
"discovertheir prospects were not as fattering
as they had supposed"
As a rule there are two sides 70 every
question: 'con'' for a 'spro" but in the
discussion of the county division question,
thus far the "pros' have taken possession of
the field, while the cons" have failed to
reasons for this. We know that in the ordi-
nary business of life if a man, a company or
a corporation, do, or propose to do an unjust
act, he or it will hear the protesting voice Of
all outraged community. and that voice will
not be heard in uncertain tones. If Butte
asked for anything, or contemplated doing
anything that was unfair or unjust to other
portions of this county, we do not believe
that those portions would remain silent, or
be content to rest the success of their oppo-
sition upon the utterance of a feeble protest.
There would be an opposition that would

language to give it expression that would
reach the ears of every man, woman and
child in Deer Lodge county. But i'll the alb
sence of a single fact, figure or argument to
show that Butte asks for that which is I'M
just, we are led to believe that no grounds
exist upon which to base a reasonable plea in
, opposition to her wishes. This is a conclu'
sion that is warranted by the silence of the op
p%onents of the measure. In suits at law

in point Butte is entitled to a Favorable
judgment at the hands of the next legisla
: ture, without resorting to further argument
| Therefore, in answer to our cotemporary'
curt demand to, 'Say what you WANT W,

The Avant Courier says " Our Deer Lodge
contemporaries are discussing the question of
dividing the county. Deer Lodge being the
wealthiest and most populous county in the
territory, its citizens can perhaps afford to in
dulge in the luxury of a division. The
growing Importance of Butte City and the
rapid development of the rich and apparently
inexhaustible mines in ito immediate vicinity
suggest, if it does not necessitate a division.

1t is now reasonably certain that popular
expectation in regard to the magnitude, per-
manence and ricnnes of this ledge will be
fulfilled. From the bottom of the main
shaft the cros,culs have been extended north
SIS feet and south 90, and each has encoun-
tered and penetrated a large body OF ore.
The north crosscut has struck the vein which
the shaft cut at a depth of IS feet, and the
one running south has uncovered the main
ledge on which the Alice and MoultOn have
b ell developed. At a depth of 65 feet the
north vein was six feet wide, and III a depth
of 206 feet it has increased in width to SO
feet. much, though not all, If the ore being
OF first class quality. Whether the south or
main vein will show al equal proportion Of
increase can not be definitely stated, as the
foot wall has not yet been reached. Levels
