little has been done this week at the Capitol, but
In reality the opening week OF the year has been
busy and fruitful one. The most important feature
has been the family in the democratic party

hopeless position in the coming presidential cam

HOSPITAL NOTES.


The fatalities at St. Josephs Hospital on
the night of April LIST were unprecedented
three men dying there between sunset and
sunrise. They were named as follows:
Rufus Meade, aged 90 years, who was
brought here some time ago from Jefferson
Gulch, where he had been engaged in min
ing, died before midnight. He was affected
with cancer of the stomach, and his death
was not unexpected.
Frank Lambert, aged about 40 years, was
sent in from Anaconda March 10Th. His
disease was consumption. Died April I'd.
Bernard Jordan, aged about 40 years, ar.
rived from Anaconda April LIST, suffering
from pneumonia of both lungs, and walked
from the depot to the hospital. He was so
exhausted when he reached there that he
sank down on the fioor-was actually dying
at the time. He did not recover from the
prostration, and died before morning.
II Is unnecessary to say that this remark
able series of fatalities does not reflect on the
care or medical attention given the patients,
a. there il no like institution in Montana
with a more deservedly high reputation In
both respects.
Mr.. Oleson, the car repairer we mentioned
last week rs having been rolled up under
car ut Garrison, is out and all right, only
feeling a little sore and stiff. This is the
same person referred to in SEINE of our con-
temporaries as "a brakeman -" fearfully
mangled," etc.

Northern Pacific Items

1t is alleged, and again contradicted, that
Col. Lamborn, General Land Agent Of the
Northern Pacific, is to be relieved If he Is
responsible for the land policy practiced and
avowed by that company in this Territory,
he should be relieved. If that policy is to be
changed for the better, as intiInated, Col.
Lamborn should get his instructions speedily
and follow them. Personally we like the
Colonel, but he has preached and practiced a
policy for the Northern Pacific company that
is odious to the last degree.
The Helena papers announce the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Ed. Stone as General Land Agent
of the Northern Pacific in Montana. The
Herald also says at is understood that 1t is
in contemplation to remove the headquar-
tiers of the Northern Pacific Land Depart
me mt to st. Paul and vacate all the offices in
Helena except the office of the chief clerk,
E. A. Winstanley. 1t is very much to be re-
gretted that such a move is meditated. The
change will work delay and expense to the
settlers who want to purchase railroad lands
and perfect titles. Here at Helena seems to
be the most appropriate place for the rail-
road company to dispose of their Montana
lands, make their surveys, maps, and plat
their field notes. The department, which
but a short time ago embraced a corps of
fourteen clerks, has now only working
force at Helena of three clerks, all told"

NEW MINES STRUCK
On Lower Warm Springs Creek, Near the
Palmer Ranch.

Mr.. John +. Strauhal, of Strauhal & Co.,
Garrison, gave us yesterday some items con-
corning a placer find near the Palmer ranch,
on Lower Warm Springs creek. The hna
has been rumored for several days, but even
az yet little is known concerning 1t. 10 APP
pears that not long since John and David
Irwin, two Leadville men, prospected near
the mouth of the creek, but more recently
have gone three miles up the creek, winch
we believe would take them below the falls,
and commenced work. On Friday evening
of last week they came into Garrison, hired
seven men, Quitting them with picks, SHOW
els and provisions, and started back. They
had some placer gold, sample of few dol
lars of which Mr.. Strauhal purchased. Its not
much washed, has considerable quartz in 1t,
and is very coarse. They were uncommuni-
cative and did not desire to give any more
information than could be avoided Wednes-
day night Of this week the entire section
gang on the Northern Pacific at Garrison
nine men-leit and went over TO Warm
Springs creek, some five or six miles, to the
diggings. 1t is stated the claims are being
taken up in 2O-acre lots. Mr.. Strauhal, on
Wednesday, bought all the picks in Deer
Lodge, aud is having more made. Mr.. Phil
f. Evans went to the scene Of the find yes
tsrday, and on his return more definite infor'
nation will be obtainable. The find is north
east of the Pixies Peak, or Yamhill, district,
and not far distant. The striking of paying
mines there is not improbable.
