It is we'll known to mining men that large
majority Of tho mining stock offered for
sale in the Eastern States is utterly worth
less as legitimate investment.
Who is to blame for this deplorable state
Of facts! The question is easily answered.
First, there are sharp, interruptions men
in all mining districts who have claims or
can easily get them ont Of which no mon
ey can be made by legitimate working.
They get favorable reports, rich samples Of
ore, artistic maps. etc, and go East.
Second, there is no place in our wide do
main where the same class Of sharp, I'M
scrupulous men are more numerous than
in our Eastern cities. Tho Western and
Eastern sharpels naturally gravitate toward

Madison county. as everyone who Is ia
miliar with the geography Of Montana
knows, is tho extreme southern county Of
the Territory, and. probably on this account
moro than any other, has been deprived Of
many Of the advantages that have accrued
to the central portions, which have been
penetrated BY railways that have stimulated
and, to certain extent. built up great man
ufacturing and commercial cities, fostered
the industries Of the country, increased IFS
population, and added millions of treasure
to the wealth of the nation. Yet, without
the aid II this adventurous propeller Of the
wheel; of progress, she occupies no mean
position in the sisterhood of counties that
form the superb commonwealth known as
the Territory of Montana, and has within
herself the elements Of prosperity SO well
established as to leave no doubt that she
will always bc an important factor in the
problem Of Montana's future. The historian
who essays tho task of writing up the re-
sources of Madison county in their com
pleteness will find that he has undertaken
more than can be compasscd within, the
limits Of TN ordinary newspaper article; for
they arc so diverse and manifold as to ex-
coed tho bounds of such a description. It
may be possible however, to briefly illus
tlute few of tho elements of her present
prosperity and great expectations for the
future, and to this tnsk will apply myself

Placer mining, as is well known, has been
the foundation Of almost every profession,
trade, OF industry that has ever found
foothold in the country, and it were idle to
tell of the magnificent results achieved from
the enormous amount Of gold that has been
dug from its gnlches. It still cuts very
important figure in the sum total of the an
nual product, and will continue to do SO for
many years to come. Although the yield
now is Insignificant compared with that of
years gone by, it is still more than three
times as much as that produced by all the
rest of the Territory, and it is not likely
that there will be any decrease in the
amount for the next twenty years. Indeed,
some placer miners claim that when the
creek bottoms of Alder Gulch are washed
out, aud the waters arc turned upon the

common humanity in many people that they do

they know to be unwholesome and not seldom
even poisonous, by reason OF its condition or

| The exposure Of diseased or spoiled meat Is
one Of the most dangerous OF these iniquities,
because the effect Of such food upon the con-
sumers is liable to be fatal. DIR. Edsons statis-
tics nevertheless show that but for the law
our markets would be crammed with such vile
food material and it cannot be doubted that
the bills of mortality woul1 be much heavier
than they are. The law has not hitherto 80

them adequate penalties. We retain the rough
divisions and definitions of crime which were
made to meet the needs Of period in which
a whole class of modern villanies were I'M
known With the growth OF social completely
has arisen demand for fuller and more
discriminating criminal code. There are many
offences which, Judged by their effects upon
the community, ought to be punished with the
utmost severity yet are because of our conser-
vative habits classified as misdemeanors, and
carry with them the kind of penalty which has
no deterrent effect. To fine man who is
getting rich by poisoning his fellow creatures
is plainly preposterous. We hang the muir
derer who takes a single life. We simply

the health of the whole public in an amount

criminals for whose laches capital punish

TIE Wisdom OF EGYPT.

The ancient Egyptans were undoubtedly
what Mr. Richard Swiveller would have called
"a downy lot" They knew great many
things besides the art of embalming and the
way to brew beer Whether their astronOmi zeal
science was as advanced as Mr.. Piazzi Smythe
affrms, or whether their priesthood were so
versed in occult arts that they could project
their astral forms at pleasure as tho The
osophists declare, are questions upon which
Judgment may well be suspended. But how
beautiful sense of the fitness of things they
manifested when they established a literature
for the sole use and behoof Of the dear
departed. We do not refer to the Book of the
Dead, which though 1T con tans some informa-
ton for ghosts is mainly devoted to a sort of
mortuary manual; but TO the old Egyptian
custom of supplying the denizens of the tOmbs
with reading matter. They used to put novels
in the burial cases and sarcophagi, and
recently Brugsch- Bey and Nj. Maspero have
been finding these venerable representatives of
PhaIaonic fiction, and there is some talk of
republishng them for the benefit Of tho nine
teeDth century.
This proposal however, is unquestonably at
variance with the intention of those who COM
mitted these books to their last resting place.
A marvellous economy was one Of the Egyp-
tan characteristics and while one object was
to furnish their defunct friends with light
literature, another was to relieve themselves
from the burden of novels which they conld
not read. The project was indeed happy
thought and the fact that it has not required
to any people since the time of the Pyramids
seems to confirm Sir George Campbelrs recent
remark that the world has made little mental
progress in the last five thousand years. Once
mentioned it is instantly evident that a revival
of the Egyptian custom to-day would be
attended with distinct benefits of most prac-
teal kind. For just consider how lightly and
easily it would solve the hitherto grevous
problem Of the disposition of all the worthless
books, not to speak of novels alone. AS it is
held by the initiate that the dead resolve into
astral Shells" and as these shells retain little
senslbiity, it is obvious that there is no danger
of hurting their feelings by imposing bad liter
AZURE upon them. On the other hand, what
glorious gain for the living such an arrange
ment would be. How it would tighten the
labors OF such as are asked to name the Best
Hundred Books. How it would clear the now
tborny path of the reviewers and how swiftly
the public taste would improve when relieved
OF this fruitful source Of deprivation Can
we do better than TO take leaf, SO to speak,
from the Egyptian MOTEL book. a nd proceed to
esi ablsh, in our turn. Literature of the
Dead Goodness knows we have material
enough for the work.

ADULIERATiON.

DR.. Edison says that the Health Department
needs better machinery for enforcing the laws
against adnteration and the exposure for sale
of unfit food material. AS proof of the extent
Of the evil the law endeav0rs to control, he
states that in one year no less than million
pounds of animal food wholly unfit for con-
sumption was seized in this city, and he init
males his belief that Notwithstanding the
utmost watohfulness on tho part of himself
and his assistants much improper food is
smuegled through the official blockade and
finds les way to the innocent or uniastidious
