Major John Dennis gets very
much stirred up about some re-
marks by the Eureka Sentinel and
calls the editor a "callow youth
and novice in journalism" In
closing he says that the boy who
edits the Sentinel will require half
a century of experience to enable
him to learn anything about his
profession.
This harsh language will very
much shock the Society of ANA
teur Journalists and they will
probably call a meeting and pro-
test in a series of ludicrous reso-
buttons against this attack upon 80
shining . light of their society.

New York, June ga friend
of Garrison told a Worlds reporter
that ever since the Commodore
illness two years ago his physical
condition had grown weaker. He
is partially paralyzed, SO that he
cannot get around to look after mat
tiers as he once did. Then the
death of his son one year ago in
railroad accident deprived the Com
modore of an efficient business
agent. He has had a grand bust
ness career. He has laid founda-
tions for the success of many great
capitalists. When he went to Cali
fornia as the partner Of Vanderbilt
and Commodore Morgan, he aided
in creating the wealth of D. O.
Mills, W. G. Ralston, Lloyd Tevis,
Of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express,
and other men who achieved great
wealth. Indeed, his present troub-
les may be said to date back to his
old California days. When Rails
ton was reported to be in financial
difficulties, he telegraphed to him,
Call on me for q million if you
like Ralston you remember, was
finally driven to the wall. He ap-
pealed for aid to Mills, Sharon and
others, and when they failed him,
he went out and took a bath in the
bay and never returned alive. l
understand that Garrison after
wards expressed his indignation to
Mills for failing to aid Ralston.
He used some singing words which
Mills has never forgotten. Mills
now has his revenge. Mills is a d.
rector in a corporation which APP
pears az one Of the Commodore's
secured creditors.

IA MONlED DEPLETION.
The Democratic press is pointing
with great glee to the DETECTION Of
certain Republican newspapers
from the nominations at Chicago.
When the real power which directs
the course of these journals is
known it will add substantial
strength to the ticket. The news
papers which are trying to infuse
vitality into the Independent
movement represent the monied
power of the East. The concentra-
ted capital of the monopolies and
corporations back these servile
sheets. Their treason has been
purchased with coin and the way
in which they serve their masters
show it. Blaine is a friend of the
masses and his nomination came
from the masses. The shout of
the people went up and the Con-
vention did not in this instance
dare to give any other answer to
the cry.
Protection of our natural Ameri-
can industries under the admins
tration of Blaine means protec-
ton which will help the artisan
and laborer and not allow the
manufacturer to fatten at the ex-
pense of the sweat and toll of
every man he hires. This is the
animus of the flank movement on
Blaine, a movement which is sink
ing every day and instead of draw
ing any support it is exciting the
contempt of the rank and file. The
people have chosen a candidate
and they propose to elect and in
augurate him. The banks and
railroads, large manufacturers and
large capitalists cannot resist the
sweep Of the wave which is carry
ing Blaine to the White House,
and if they try to resist, it will
overwhelm them.

The Bonds Voted by a Large Majority.

The election Wednesday did not attract
much attention, nor did the real estate
tax payers none other were allowed to
vote manifest much interest in it.
Seventy-four votes were polled and of
these sixty-four were for the loan and ten
against. The measure carries by a large
majority, showing the desire on the
part of our citizens for an effective
system of drainage. Bids will be re-
celved next Saturday for the proposed
work, in accordance with the advertise
ment printed elsewhere. The council
should now place the bonds as soon as
possible, SO that the work can be we'll
under way before the rainy season
sets in.

Daily Mail to Billings.

A petition was circulated Wednesday
and numerously signed, asking the post
office department to increase the service
on the Fort Benton and Billings line
from three to six times a week. We are
informed by MI. A. G. Johnson that the
prospects are good for securing this in
crease. 1t is certainly an important
matter for this city, With a daily mail
to Billings, communication with the
country through which the route passes
the Judith, Musselshell, etc. would be
more rapid, and our eastern mails Would
reach us at least twenty-four hours ear
lier. AS d daily this would become
quite an important route, and its
through passenger business be greatly
increased. We trust the prayer Of the
petitioners may be promptly granted.

VIM. Mcqueen, assignee of F. w.
Reed & Co., arrived from Clendenin
Tuesday. He tells us that the Silver
Belle is looking s%plendidly, in fact, bet
ter than it ever has, and the improve
ment is not only in the quantity but the
quality Of the ore. Owing to the fact
that they have not a sufficient quantity
of coal on hand, they have decided not
to start up the smelter for a few days
yet. The furnace will probably be fired
up Saturday or Sunday.

Booming the Barker and Montana Mining
DISTRICTS.

We find the following Helena special
in the Pioneer Press Of the 18th inst,
which is a pretty good send off for Ben
tons tributary mining fields:
The party of Boston experts who re-
Gently examined the Barker and Mon
tana mining districts have just returned
to Helena en- route for Boston. They
have obtained possession of the Noun
tain Chief and six other claims in the
neighborhood of Neihart. Their report
from assays from their own and other
lodes in that vicinity are very fiattering
the average assay being over 1OO
ounces to the ton. They intend to have
mill built for reducing and refining
the ores on their claim this summer,
and will purchase the necessary ma
chinery on their way east. Miners
have already commenced to come into
the Barker district, and if the country is
as these experts say-the richest in min.
eral they have yet heard of-there will
be a large immigration there during the
summer

The Cpur d'Alenes.

MI. III. A. Smurr, Of Deer Lodge,
| says the New Northwest, returned from
the Ceur d'Alenes yesterday. His
views of the camp are not fattering, and
| with other disinterested information we
have received recently, we are appre-
hensive the great Occur d'Alene mines
are not going to amount to much. Of
| course it cannot yet be determined, but
miners are getting down in many places
and the general results are not favorable.
Nearly everybody is reported as DESTROYS
of selling their CLANS. None will lease
them. The business men and those
who have invested heavily in town lots
and buildings are not feeling sanguine.
Mr.. Smurr met about 100 men leaving
the mines, as against 20 goingin. Wages
are generally 81 per day a few mechan-
les and miners receive S.. There is
| no general feeling of confidence or Ella
ton. All these things point to the fact
that the developments so far have not
been satisfactory. "The snow going
off" has ruined the reputation of many
a winter-struck placer camp and it is
not unlikely Occur d'Alene will be
| added to the list. Mr.. S. says there is
an almost continuous town from the
eight miles between Eagle and Murray
vile. In the latter place are quite a
number of two-story buildings, and it
| appears to be the principal point of the
mines. Last Thursday Clagett and a
| party started out some nine miles for a
new find that was reported. NJ. G.
still has faith in the camp, but it will be
late in the evening of the last day that
every one else gives up when he will
get discouraged about anything he has
| fixed his faith on.
Reliable gentlemen recently from the
mines report that the concern is a hum
bug and that more people are coming
away than are going in hat no gold
| dust can be bought Notwithstanding the
| reports of claims being worked and $40
"a day to the man being taken out that
rich gold quartz has been hauled on
toboggans for the purpose of sailing
claims; that the diggings could have
been worked all winter had they been
worth working that there may be and
probably is some gold there, the cost Of
taking it out will be as much as the
gold is worth.-Missoulian.

Will He Keep Mum P

Whatever may be the outcome of the
habeas corpus proceedings at st. Paul in
the Taylor case, this is certain, the bird
is Gagged. The gilt edged scheme to give
him freedom at Brainerd met with an
ignoble failure, and his abettors may
well keep in the background for two or
three weeks at least, until the coming
court term here is ended. In case Tay-
lor comes to Miles City soon-and the
Journal is inclined to think that his
reaching here soon is not only possible,
but probable-we would simply reiterate
our prediction of the 4th inst, that the
quaking hearts in this city who fear
that he will turn states evidence will
suddenly find that they have some
thing very particular to attend to at
a considerable distance from the valley
of the Observation-Disclosures Jour-
nal.

On SATURDAY evening, ApTll IL, a mum
hor of the incorporators of the Helena &
Fort Benton railroad met at the office OF
Richard Jockey, with a view to action.
The following telegram from citizens OF
Fort Benton was read:
FORT BENTON, April IL.
tn the President of the Helena e Benton
railroad meeting:
The coal mines Of Sand Coulee are de-
veloping wonderful results-.he richest
and most extensive deposits of bitumin-
Gus coal west Of Pennsylvania, averaging
q thickness of twenty feet. We urge
that a committee be sent to make an ex-
animation and tests, and report at the
next meeting.
T. Z. COLLINS.
PARIS GIBSON.
JOHN HUNSBERGER.
1t being necessary that authority
should be given by the majority of the
incorporators for the purpose of opening
books for the subscription of stock, and
such majority not being present, upon
motion a committee of three was APP
pointed to secure such authority. The
committee was as follows: A. M Wool
folk, Henry Klein and Matt Carroll.
Upon motion the following executive
committee was appointed to conduct
the affairs of the company until organi-
zation was perfected, to wit: John T,
Murphy, chairman; r. III. Klein
schmidt, John B. Wilson, A. M. Hell
ter, E. d. Edgerton, Matt Carroll, S.
C, Ashby, Henry Klein and Col. Bau-
senweip,
Upon motion E. G. Maclay and L. E.
Collins, Of Fort Benton, and George |
STEEL, Of Sun River, were added to the
committee.
The feeling seemed to be prevalent
that there were enough capitalists in
Lewis and Clarke and Choteau counties
to build the railroad if they would take
hold of it. The cost of a narrow gauge
road between Helena and Benton ought !
not to exceed one million dollars. The
distance is 140 miles and the cost should
not exceed $1,000 per mile. II one hum .
dred men in the two counties would
subscribe $1,000 each, one-half the
amount necessary would be raised, and
need be the remainder could be OBJ
tanned by mortgage Of the roadbed. It
is believed that the amount can be
raised by subscription in the two coun-
ties, as there is but little doubt that the |
road owned and controlled by home
would be a paying investment
the start. The enterprise only
needs a head, toaAae pushed through to

THE LIBRARY PROJECT.
The Meeting Great suecess-A Liberal Offer
for a Starter.

The meeting to consider the project OF or
ganizing Library and Lyceum Association
in Deer Lodge, held at the Court House last
Friday evening, was very largely attended
. surprise to even the NEST sanguine friends
Of the project. The meeting was organized
by eIscting Rev. DIR. d. j. Mcmillan and
Rev. Galen Wood temporary President and
Secretary. The President stated the object
in view, and several others followed in rela-
ton to the enterprise. The projectsuggssted
by the NEW NORTH WEST, while almost au.
dacisus in its scope and purpose, met with
most earnest favor, and the only question
was whether so splendid and worthy q
scheme could possibly be- undertaken and
accomplished in little town like this. Gen.
tlemen have since said to us IL il the grand
est thing for the welfare of the community
they ever heard Of being even proposed in .

is consummatsd it will place 1t on plane of
enlightened public spirit that q city might
well be proud OF. It was resolved by the
meeting TO try it. Even failure in such
cause, IL IL succeeded honest effort, would be
creditabls, but there is no occasion for IL to
fail. There Is not a single good reason In the
world why Deer Lodge should not establish
q permanent Public Library and put $40. coo
In It. We have put $50 600 in school build
