The people Of the Panhandle OF

u strong argument for annexation to
Montana instead Of Washington, as
has been proposed. II this is u gov
eminent for the people and by the
people, as politicians love to tell us,
then the unanimous wish of the people
Of this strip of territory should not be
disregarded. Their interests are iden-
tical with ours, while Washington ter
ritory is almost exclusively an agricul-
tural region. At the meeting held in
the Couer dAlene mining region, on
February 9th to consider the subject.

y
Montana in all her industries. The
outlook for the mining interests in the
principal districts Of the territory was
never better. The failure of the enc.
mics Of the silver dollar to get its COIN
age suspended will have tendency
To increase the production Of silver
and induce new capital to seek invest
ments. Mining districts in close prox-
unity to railroads have ~ great advan-
tage over those remote, especially is
this true where the ore is low grade
and everything that enters into the
work Of reduction is obtained ut great
cost. Low grade ores require large
capacity mills or smelters. To incur
the expense Of such works capitalists
must have some assurance or faith in
the permanency of the leads or ore
deposits. 1t requires no small fortune
to put up extensive reduction works
in II new country, one thousand miles
from the manufacturer of mill ma
chinery. There must he something
to warrant the undertaking.
The mistake Of this district has been
too many mills and too little develop
ment. We have got the cart before
the horse" Mining men come in here
and after looking over the district say !:
"the indications are splendid, ore rich.
but there is no work DONE" They go
away; some never to return. What
development is being done this winter
to entice capital hither? The mos,
promising prospects are lying idle;
some are involved in litigation; others
are partly owned by non-residents, and
not few have far too many owners to
the square foot Of mineral in them !:
they will not work themselves or give
anyone else chance.
This condition Of things is deplorable.
Ii capitalists must take all the risks
then prospects should not be held at
very high figure. The days Of reckless
investments have passed. Extreme
caution seems to be the watchword
and scheming the process to obtain
property. We would not have poor
men sacrifice their property in order
that town or community might
prosper, yet too often stubborn
refusal Of fair offer, impoverishes
both.
When other regions, now in the very
zenith of development, become en-
hausted. new fields will be eagerly
sought after, and by that time the map
of Montana will show railroad lines
penetrating every mountain range
containing mineral deposits of any
account. In the meantime let us not
be idle or discouraged. There is a
bright future ahead. We have both
high and low grade gold and silver ores.
Better have abundance of the latter
than small quantity Of the former.
Capitalists must solve the promblem
Of extracting the mineral by increasing
the milling capacity, AS has been the
case in nearly all mining camps now in
existence.

but after struggling gallantly three hours
to prevent the application of the gag rule
were obliged to yield to the superior num-
bers of the opposition. The motive of the
opposition was very apparent. They were
afraid to discuss the allegations contained
in Mr.. Boutelle's resolve. and in order to
destroy it If possible offered an irrelevant
amendment and then applied the gag by
calling for the previous question. which AL
lowed only fifteen minutes for debate to
each side. II the resolve had been of an
inconsequential character. or if the oppo-
sition had had good and honest defence to
make to the allegations which it contained,
they would not have struggled to de-
feat it bv the exercise of the gag rule

Mr. Wise of Virginia replied in speech
full of evasion and subterfuge, carefully

leading sentences the allegation of Mr..
