FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY,
The Drum Lummon Property ullan Tun-
mel and its Eastern Approach.

VIM. Hyde lately returned from Marysville
and the Mullan Tunnel, gives the following
items: There are at present about thirty men
working in the
| DRUM LUMMoN MINE,
| running cross-cuts, and sinking three inclnes
| or winses on the lead about ninety feet apart
| The LOO feet tunnel is being vigorously
pushe d into the hill the men working eight
! hour shifts. 1t will tap the lead 400 feet be-
low the present workings, or go feet below
the surface. The tunnel starts into the hill
100 feet above the creek, and short distance
below the old ive-stamp mill aud from this
point the creek has 100 feet fall in two miles
1t is reported that the new mill will be erect
ed near the tunnel. Experiments are being
made on the ore by running it through the
Old mill in the dry process, drying furnace
having been improvsed for that purpose.
Credit is due to Mr.. Cruise In developing this
valuable property which is mammoth Mr.
Atwood has purchased n coy residence and
erected offices for the Montana Mining Co.
Of which he is the superintendent, at the
foot of Cruise Mountain which is q back
ground $50 feet high and is highly pictur-
esque.
Mr.. Thomas Cruise has just surveyed 100
town lots 50x100 feet, covered by a placer
mining patent, and is running a bedrock
drain to drain swamp that covers a portion
OF the ground. Several new houses are in
course Of erection, and two coaches make
the round trip every day to and from Helena.
Owing to Wickes being temporarily closed
down and its proximity to the
MULLAN TUNNEL
over 100 applicants for labor are entered on
the conpany's books, and some time may
elapse before the company gets under way.
Miners wages are S3.25 per day, and gum
boot, leather soled ARE furnished by the com
pany. Pay day is the fifth of each month; |
$1.50 is charged to each man for hospital tax. |
and the company pays the hotel keepers for
their workmens' board which is six dollars |
per week.
At the Mullau Tunnel on the Goth ult. there |
were 62s feet between the headings and at |
the east end they were using the Burleigh |
drills, but it was reported that soft ground |
had been struck that evening. About half |
of the length of
THE TUNNEL rs TIMBERED
with one foot square timbers, fifteen feet long
upright posts resting on wood sills and an |
arch roof in five segements; timbers three
feet apart, leaving a clear passage twenty. one
and half feet high and sixteen feet wide.
The tunnel is thIrty-two miles from Deer
Lodge. -.M
EAST OF THE TUNNEL
Near the east end of the tunnel there are
i've trestle bridges to be made, two of these
will be GOO feet long and seventv-five and
eighty-ive feet high and they have ten de-
grees of curve. Only the foundations of
two are yet made, but the timbers are being
delivered. In three miles of straight line

Our Motto.

Orders are coming in from near y
every section of the Territory. We
mention this because it shows our cor
rect and fair way of doing business
is appreciated by you who live at a
distance and who are, therefore, often COM
PEELED to order goods by mail. 1t is one
thing and comparatively easy to trade
personally with people in satisfactory man.
ner, but It is n very different and very diff
cult thing to trade satisfactorily with persons
who are not present. In the latter case so
much must necessarily be left to the mer-
chant, and even though an order be written
az definitely as possible, under the systems
that prevail with most houses, such trans
actions generally result Enthusiastically. We
state that as the general rule, which, how
ever, like all other rules has its except OF q,
and to which we claim our house Is one
EXCEPTION.
The fact that we have the largest order
trade in the Territory and that it is constantly
increasing, Is the best evidence that can pos
slbly be submitted that we do constitute an
exception; and it proves too, that it Is posi-
large anu shtisidCIOiy buNiHccS OF
this character TO be done. If you will send
us a trial order, we believe you will become
one of our regular customers, for that's the
way in which the order department of our
business has been built up.
This is our motto: If goods do not suit
because of any fault of ours, send them back,
and We will refund every cent you may have
paid. With such motto, is it any wonder
that our order business ~ so satisfactory?
Send for samples of dress-goods. wallpaper
or for anything else that can be sampled; and
please remember we send ready made dresses
and wraps for ladies, misses and children on
opprouai.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BoyeE.

EXECUTION OF HENRY FoHRMAN
At Helena, May I'd, for the Murder of
Jacob Keuck.

Our readers are familiar with the history
of the KeHck murder and the trial and con-
viction therefor of Henry Fohrman, his
father-in-law, aged about seventy years.
Governor Crosby was appealed TO to COM
mute the sentence, and having no authority to
do that, to grant repreve, The latter he
declined, there being no showing to warrant
such clemency. Fchrman was executed by
hanging in the Jail yard. at Helena at 1l55
a. m. Wednesday. He was stolid and indiffer-
Ont when the Governors refusal was made
known to him, and also when his death sem
tence was read. He expressed wish to be
shot by three soldiers, preferably Germans,
as less dishonorable death, but that wish
could not, of course, be granted. He went
up the steps OF the scaffold unconcernedly,
and the only remark thereafter accredited to
him was, Now Chris. Renck will laugh"
He had willed that his body should be sur
rendered to Drs. Cole and Brown for an
autopsy of his brain, and it was SO disposed
of. His neck was broken, and his death i'm
mediate. He was rs much of q crank as
Guiteau.

THE MATCH TAX REnovED.-The
removal Of the revenue tax on matches
which was obtained about q week ago
has already had the happy effect of
reducing the price Of this now indis-
pensable household convenience. In
New York city on Monday the price
Of the ordinary "lucifer" matches fell
from one dollar and half a gross to
fifty cents gross. but az the demand
for them was 30 great, the manufac-
turers raised che price to IS cents per
gross, and even then found they were
in danger of running short Of the de-
Iaand. The grade known as "parior"
matches sell for from rs cents to 50
per gross. All kinds have depreci-
ated 200 per cent. in price in New
York, and there is no probability that
the wholesale price Of them will rise.
The retail prices are as low in pro-
portion as the wholesale. From the
removal Of the revenue tax Of 900
per cent. on matches, the extent to
which the public have been plundered
by the match monopoly can easily be
measured. Ia it or is it not benefit
to Henry Hayden and Meridack
Clarke to be able now to buy three
boxes Of matches for what they for
merly paid for one? And would not
a reduction Of SO per cent. on other
.necessaries they are compelled to pur-
chase and use in their families reduce
the cost Of their living TO THIS extent?
Aud would a reduction of 80 per
cent. in their cost of living per an
mum be benefit to them or other
wise? The idea, says the New York
Herald, that the interest Of the con-
SINNER and laborer is bound up with
that Of the manufacturer, sis the
dream Of an igRoramus." The epithet
ia the Herald's. not ours. A tariff is
tax, and tax. though it may be
Inisapplied so as to favor some indus
tries at the expense of others. cannot
by any possible jugglery be made a
benefit TO all industries alike. We
used to be told by politicians some
years ago that "a national debt is a
national blessing" Now they begin
TO assure US that the exaction of high
taxes can also be made a national
blessing" II we can be taxed in such
a manner as to make all prosperous,
and equally prosperous, then the true
cry Of the politician this Fall should be,
"the poorer you are. the better off
you will be-" because nobody who
pays taxes can avoid feeling that he
is the poorer for paying them.

The NATIONAL BALANCE SHEET.-
An exhibit Of the general accounts Of
the last fiscal year has been publish
ed. It shows that the aggregate ne
ceipts for 1888 fell of S. l86, 730 4
compared with 1882. Customs drop
ped 50. s76. 400 and internal revenue
$2167, 244. making. together, 9 loss
Of about nine millions for the year.
There was. however, q gain of ST.
S37, 004 from miscellaneous sources.
TIE aggregatS expenditures for
1883 exceeded those Of 1882 BY 81
5s6,64s. But the ordinary or Tegu-
lar expenses were greater by $l4.-
S69. 1923 than those Of the previous
year. The interest on the public
debt was reduced $l2.012,5l5 for
the year. Pensions increased $4,-
100, $40.
The available balance in the Treas.
ury July l was Sl51.1ls.346. The
revenues from all sources amount to
1898, 3S6,520, or nearly eight dollars
q head for every man, woman, and
child in the United States. The total
expenditures summed up S265, $685.
O67. Deducting one from the other,
the apparent surplus of revenue ag-
gregates $l32, 770,433.
These official figures make two
things plain; First, that o larger rev.
enus is collected than is necessary for
q Government economically conduct
est; and secondly, that the regular
expenses are far greater than they
should be in time Of peace.
Surplus revenues are the product
of excessive taxation, and therefore
are to be avoided. But they are still
more Objectionable as being sources of
temptation to prOdigality, corruption,
and plumber.
1t will be the duty of the next
House Of Representatives to cut down
the internal revenue, and to cut down
the public expenditures to a point Of
retrenchment corresponding to the
scale that was adopted in 1876, with
general satisfaction to the country.

THE TRADE DoLLAR.-The trade
dollar was authorized and made a
made a legal tender for S. by the act
Of Congress of February 18th, 1873,
and continued to be such legal tender
until the act of July 22nd, 1876,
when the legal tender feature was
abolished. It's coinage was suspend
od entirely on February 22nd, 1878.
On February 18th, 1873, the bullion
or intrusive value Of the trade dollar
was 103- 100 in gold. and during the
whole of that year its average value
was 102 $40 cents in gold. When
therefore, as the Baltimore Day well
puts it, the government declares
through its assistant New York Treas.
urer, that it will not recognize or re-
deem the trade dollar, it deliberate
ly repudiates species of money which
II issued and made legal tender and
for the greater part of which it has
received value at the rate of more
than l02 cents on the dollar. 1t is.
the Day goes on to say, as mean a
piece Of reputation as was ever in
dulged in by any broken down South
American republic. The upshot of
1t Is that every man, woman and child
who has trade dollar in possession
is simply 10 cents out of pocket and the
loss falls mainly on class that is least
able to bear it, the laboring classes,
who are always. the last to hear Of
sloculating movements like this. The
trade dollar panic started in New
York, where the poor holders were
compelled to submit to a discount.
Much of the coin was then shipped
to Philadelphia and there paid out in
large quantities. After the working
men had been swindled in New York
lots Of the stuff were shipped to points
whore the panic had not reached and
the same game was played, on the
same classes. In Baltimore city a
firm sent a check to its bank for the
money to pay off its hands. The
bank honOred it entirely in trade dol
lars. The firm paid its employees,
and the latter lost the discount, so
that the bank unloaded at 100 cents
ON its customers, the latter at 100
cents on its men. and these last were
compelled to sell out at So cents or
not use the money at all. What be-
tween the tariff and the trade dollar
the working classes. though they don't
seem to know it or feel it, are on the
high road 10 prOsperity-in a Pick
