THE Lyceum Meeting.

The Lyceum met at the Court House last
Friday evening, the attendance being greater
than usual. However, only one member as
signed to duty was present, Mrs. +. O..
O'Bannon, who read selection very credit
ably. The answers to queries received more
than usual attention and one submitted by
Rev. Wood, as to why the moon looks larger
when rising In the horizon than when at the
zenith, provoked an animated discussion.
It was then, on motion of Mr.. Wood, re-
ferred to Mr.. Addison Smith. A number of
new queries were also referred for answer
this evening.
The following were assigned for regular
exercises this evening, and this being an
authors night, the committee selected "Oli-
yer Goldsmith" with the following pro.
gramne:
Select Reading from Goldsmith.-Mr
George Miller.
Review Of Goldsmith's works.-Miss l.
G. Thompson.
Sketch of Goldsmith's Life.-Miss Bette
C. Williams
Members are respectfully requested to Sc.
lect all responses to roll call this evening
from Goldsmith.
The Lyceum having purchased an organ, q
committee on music was appointed to pro-
vide musical programme for this evening
and considerable other business was trans
actoi, but owing to the illness Of the Secre
tary, Mrs OBannon, she has not been able
10 furnish a report this week.
The hour of meeting IL 1880, and IL is desir
able the attendance shall be prompt at tha
hour.

CARBON MOOR COAL MINES.
They are Being Developed by a Strong
Force.
Helena Herald, 30.

Unknown to the generality of the Helena
public an enterprise affecting some of their
most important industries as we'll as bearing
not inconsiderably upon their domestic econ
omy, has been throughout the past three
months quietly developing itself and ap-
preaching every day nearer to It's consum-
nation when its practical effects will soon
be visible In Helena and the surrounding
country. We refer to the coal mining oper.
ations Of the Mullan Pass Mining Company
near Helena. The mine Of this company is
located on the western slope of the main
range, near Mullan Pass, and about half a
mile from Mullan station, on the Northern
Pacific railroad. 1t has been owned by the
company for some time, but until the last
three months no work has been done on 1t
for three years. Previous to that time II
was worked to advantage. and as early az
1875 or 1876, Hobart and Barton, who then
mined it, furnished the first coal ever used
for fuel in Helena.
We were informed to-day by Mr.. A. M
Hotter, one Of the present owners, that for
the last three months force of fifty or sixty
men have been at work developing the mine,
running levels in It and laying bare the vein
in various places preparatory to commencing
taking out coal extensively. The lowest
level is about $50 feet under ground, and the
coal shows uniformly fine quality. 1t has
been examined by the Northern Pacific coal
expert, Mr.. Wickes, and pronounced by him
an excellent article for coking when worked
in the proper manner. As fuel it is on a
par with the Bozeman coal, and the proxim
ity of the mine to Helena will no doubt en-.
able the owners to place this coal on the
Helena market at lower rates than we are
now paying for the Bozeman product.
One of the members of the company is
now east purchasing pumps, machinery and
hosting works, which they expect to have
out here and in place at the mine in four OF
five weeks. When all this Is done the mine
will employ about two hundred men, and
will put out from 100 to 200 tons per day
The Northern Pacific railroad is now laying
a side track to the mine, which Is only half a
mile distant, and by this means the coal can
be loaded on the cars for shipment Just as
soon as 1t Is mined.
Works for washing the coal and coke
ovens will eventually be built, when this
mine will take Its place among the furnish.
ers Of fuel for the smelters and furnaces of
Butte, Wickes and Helena.

NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS.
Some Inquiries and Assertions Deserving OF
..a- a-# Notice.
To the Editor Mem North Vest.

To the Editor Ne,o North Vest:
SIR:-The writer has seen . number Of
newspaper references to the suits recently
brought against the Montana Improvement
company for stumpage, but has failed to dis
cover therefrom any just reason why the In
terror Department should 20 for this COM
pany any more than for the few others that
are trying to make an honest living by hard
work in the lumber business. Perhaps .
few words in explanation might not be OBJ
jected to by the average reader. The North
ern Pacific Railroad company still claim a
right to the land grant which was forfeited
years ago; or If not, the company's right
must be ratified by Congress before pur-
chasers of land have any security for title
further than that given by the company, but
none from the government. The railroad
company has never issued patent to land
in the Territory, and have we any assurance
that it will ever be able to secure q patent?
Thousands of our people have purchased
land of the company and large amounts Of
money have been paid in good faith by set
tiers, believing the company would be able
to keep good faith with them; but they are
not any more able to give title to-day than
they were four years ago.
This company not only sells odd sections
of surveyed land, but claims all the timber
on the odd sections Of unsurveyed timber
land and, in making this claim, try to spread
the odd sections out to the extent of about
1890 acres to the section. The few small
concerns that refused to pay stumpage to
the railroad company or the Montana Im.
provement company, were compelled to pay
it indirectly last August by the railroad
company doubling the rate of freight on all
lumber that was carried over this or the
Missoula division. This action has raised q
formidable opposition to both companies
from the fact that the railroad company or
members thereof are large owners in the
Lumber company, and the raising Of the
rate Of freight on all shippers except their
own pet monopoly, worked hardship on
the poor workingmen on the line. Had 1t
not been for the arrogant claims and domi-
| neering spirit Of both companies we do not
believe any claim would have been made
except for lumber, etc, shipped out of the
country in the way of merchandise.
If the company have right to the land,
the title should be secured and taxes should
be paid on it, and until such title shall be
secured the people are inclined to regard all
said lands as part Of the public domain and
1t would so remain until disposed Of to actual
settlers, If the wishes Of nine-tenths Of the
people of Montana could be emphatically
voiced. A PIONEER.

THE ROBINSON FLuME
Leased to Butte Company to Deliver Flu

j. G. Robinson, Esq, within the past few
days leased his eight-mile wood fiume from
the mountains to Deer Lodge to the Butte
firm of Rankin g. Nuss for two years. The
new firm took charge Nov. LIST, and will put
some 81, 900 Of improvements on 1t, including
the location VI switch fume to the vicinity
of the depot. They win employ some 60
men chopping wood during the winter and
probably more next spring. as the intention
is to ship wood by rail directly 70 Butte.
The facilities for delivering the wood ut the
depot at low cost are unequalled in the coun-
ty and it Is the expectation Of the firm to
handle ut least twenty thousand cords per
year. No wood can be shipped until next
year.
Mr.. s. A. Nuss, the resident partner Of the
firm, has purchased the Russell residence on
First street and will soon remove his family
here.
