SENATOR MILLER said to a Chicago
Times reporter that in the New England
states and New York and New Jersey
the feeling in favor Of Blaine was grow
ing every day, and in his mind there
was no doubt that the republicans would
carry them by large majorities. 1.-The
independent vote,'' said he, III. those
localities is made up more of boast and
brag than votes. and in that respect the
active independents have borrowed the
tactics of the democracy. Buffers cam
didaey will draw more strength from
the opposition than from the republic
ans, and for this reason they-the DEM
ocrats-are emptying the walls of their
wrath upon Ben's head. There was no
mistake that they are very much alarm
ed at the status of things at the present
time. The Irish detection and the revolt
Of the labor organizations are tangible
and visible political phenomena, more.

nature Ofthe unexpected, and they can
not be met or allayed by. any of the
persuasive methods known to the old
leaders. They q do nothing to stem
the tide, except to look on and frantic
ally cry that it is not much of a current.

formation is the same at the neaQ OF
Beaver, Peoples, Little Rocky and 9TH
er creeks that rise near the source OF The
Beauchamps, and they are just as likely
to have their treasure gulches as the lat
ter. Little Alder gulcn being all staked
and claimed, many OF The prospectors
who have lately gone into the Rockies
will devote their energies to the WORK OF
finding new dlgglngs, and VT may De
certain to soon hear OF rich discoveries
in other parts of the mountains. This
issue is almost inevitable. The Little
Rockies nave never been thoroughly
prospected, and now that there is some
incentive to labor the untlring gold
hunter will be found in every guich and
gully OF the mountains-and the hid
den treasure, if it exists, will not long
escape their ken.
LII addition to the placers, rich and
extensive quartz lodges have been found
in the Little Rockies and also in the
Bears Paw. When the placers are work
ed out these will be a source OF wealth
to that section, which is certain to be
n OF the most important mining dis
trlcts i'll the territory. The opening OF
the reservation is needed to give full lm-
petus to this industry, and it is pretty
certain that recent developments will
not retard that important event in the
least. Ii there was eve any doubt
about the reservation being opened DUR
ing the next session OF congress, there
can be none now. 1t is a fOregone con-
clusiOn-and IL part OF the mineral re-
gion will be included in the new reser-
Walton for the Gros Ventres. 1t will be
a decided benefit, not only SO far as the
mineral wealth goes, but a greater scope
OF valuable agricultural and grazing
lands, tributary to Fort Benton, will be
opened to settlement.
On the assumption that the reserva
ton will be opened this winter, the most
rapid growth and progress ever known
in Montana will be witnessed mex year
in that region east of Fort Benton in
the triangle formed by the Missouri and
Milk rivers. 1t is the paradise OF the
stockman and husbandnan and with the
impetus to development the mines will
afford, it is certain to make marvellous
strides in the way of progress. Nothing
is needed to complete the picture save a
railroad or two, and they will get
there as soon as there is warrant for it.
In the past few years the growth OF this
portion of Montana has been slow and
steadfast, but the time is lea at hand
when the car of progress will move
along at a rate that none can grumble
at. The mines in the Little Rockies and
Bears Paw will be important factors in
bringing about this change.

Their latest tactics are to strike every
thing on the October election in Ohio.
They will move heaven and earth to
carry that state, and have raised an inn
mense campaign fund to accomplish
their purpose. The republicans, how
ever, are not to be caught mapping. /
do not believe they will use any money,
but they will certainly checkmate, if
possible, this latest move. This fund
that the democrats are said to have rails
ed comes largely from the liquor sellers,
brewers, and distillers, who are in SYM
patty with them, but it does not follow
that they control their customers every
liquor drinker is not a democrat, by any
means More than that, the democracy
have acted in bad faith towards the very
element that they now rely on, and a
portion of it is much disaffected."

TIE E MINES.

snba interest in 1.-THE Little Rocky mines
continues undated. Although il is
NV nearly a month since the rich dis
cnvery in these mountains was made
public, only the most consistent and
favorable reports have been hadfrom
there. Not a single instance, SO far as
we have learned, has any n come back
and pronounced the camp a s.bilk.n or
even denounced it in milder terms than
this. On the contrary, all who have
been there to see, so far as heard from,
agree that there is gold in paying guam
titles in Little Alder gulch, and that it
promises to be one Of the richest mining
camps in the annals of the territory.
This is. the ~undisputed evidence, and
those who refuse to accept it must in
deed be hard to convince. s
Little Alder gulch, five or six miles
in extent, Is unquestionably one Of the
richest Montana has ever known. judy
ing by the prospects Sc far as develop
ment has progressed but that other
gulches perhaps equally as rich will be
found cannot be seriously doubted. The
