the enemy the information and advantages
Of our position. The copies, therefore, were
not furnished, and, indeed, could not have
been for three weeks afterward, as those APP
pointed to obtain signatures had the afore-
said "article Of plighted faith and fortune
and so on, in their possession for that length
of time. The editor Of the NEW NORTH
WEST has not only been willing at all times
to publish our communications, but has So
licited them.
In your remarks following the communica-
ton alluded to, and which are vouched for
by Mr.. Bonner, the following statement oc-
ours: at seems some parties showed Mr..
Mayberry Mr.. Dixon's written opinion in
which he suggested that an obstruction
might be placed in the creek which Mr..
Mayberry would not have authority to re-
move. To protect himself against this, he
came to Deer Lodge and filed claim for the
water right to float his ties" BY reference
to the date of filing of said claims for water
right, it will be seen that Mr.. Mayberry took
that action long before he was known to a
single settler in this locality, and before they
had begun to realize the extent of his plans
and schemes; whereas, the obstruction" re-
ferred to has not been placed in the creek
more than thirty days, consequently, Mr..
Mayberry did not file his claim to the waters
of Mill creek and Warm Spring creek for any
such purpose as "to protect himself against"
any obstruction which had no existence at
that time. Hence, we must look for some
other motive for his action in this matter.

" MissouIa."
W, i. M. in Missoulidn.

So far no one has been able to give salts
factory explanation as to the meaning or
derivation of the word "Missoula-" A few
days ago interviewed Francois Eneas, bet
ter known by the name Of Francois" a
man of intelligence and integrity among the
Flatheads of the Bitter Root Valley, who
was born near St. Ignatius Nilsson, on the
Jocko Reservation about the year 1890. From
him I obtained the following information as
to the application of the word "Missoula-"
He says that from his earliest recollection,
which date he fixes about the year 1898, that
that portion of the Missoula river between
the mouth of Six-Mile Creek, q small tribu-
tary below Frenchtown, to the confluence of
the pend'Oreille river near Horse Plains
was called cen a Missoula," by the Indians
that 1t was noted hunting ground, and that
the people who frequented that portion of
the river to hunt for game were called cen
nilsson let qui." He is unable however to
give the meaning of the word or its derivia-
ton. He further says that the proper name
of the Rattlesnake creek, and so known
from time immemorial is "Little Speckled
Trout creek"

New Gold Saver.

An apparatus for separating gold from sand
without the use of water was recently COM
pleted and tested in Philadelphia. II is
intended for use in the placer regions of the
West Mexico and Central America, where
goldbearing sand is found at q distance from
water sufficient for hydraulic mining. The
machine is about five feet in diameter, and is
arranged to throw sand by centrifugal force
against q "wall" of mercury, maintained In
position by centrifugal action. In this way,
1t is claimed, every particle Of gold is
brought in contact with the mercury and
amalgamated, while the sand is blown away
by means of an air blast. The machine is
said to clean a ton of sand in twenty min.
utes, and to be so thorough in its operation
as to make it possible to work over with
profit the tailings of mines worked by Other
systems. The power required to operate the
machine Is not given.
