pirations-if these gentlemen have aDy-of
Governor Hauser, Major Maginnis and Col.
Broaiwater bear to it. The Inter Monn-
tain has -harped upon the names
OF these gentlemen in connection
with his canvass with such persist
ence that the stranger in our midst would
be puszled to know whether it was Sparks
OF Maginnis, OF Clark, or Word, or Broad
water, or Hauser, or Toole that was run
ming for Congress. There is this difference,
however: These last.named gentlemen are
eminently sound on the silver question.
while John Sherman, q pronounced enemy
Of the metal, has been a part and parcel
OF the last Republican administration, is
still a United States Senator, and has been
and is still the acknowledged exponent OF
the Republican idea of the province OF
silver, and thai idea has been repeatedly
endorsed b. the Inter-Mountain and by
the Republican conventions held in this
Territory. Can the Inter- Mountain now
see what relation John Sherman's views
the silver question bear to the present
canvass?

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Hon. w. A. Clark, OF Butte, is now stump.

We will inform u evening contemporary

canvass" Just the same relation that
Sparks timber rules and regulations bear
to it. just the same relation that Cleve-

It now appears that Col. Sanders wants
to go to Congress tc play the indignation
act, OF in the language Of our evening con-
temporary: "Topersonify the indignation
of the people of Montana" We have heard
it said that he wants to go to prevent the
Montana Central from entering the terri
tory; that he wants to go to repeal the bill
taxing the surveyed lands OF the Northern
Pacific in this territory. that he wants TO
go to prevent the passage of bill providing
for the forfeiture Of any Of the land grants
OF that company: that he wants to 90 to
prevent the passage OF a bill providing for
the taxing of the road bed, section houses,
stations, etc. of that corporation; that he
wants to 60 so as betterto be able to serve
best client in the territory" But VI
never before heard that he wants
to 60 to be put like ar Egyp-
tian mummy in one of the vacant inches in
the capitol building and there pose as the
personi6cation Of indignation. If all the
Democrats should die within the next two
weeks and there should he found Republi-
cans enough in his disunited party to elect
him the niche would be the best place for
him. He would excite less ridicule there
than elsewhere in Washington.

ANOTHER ROORBACK NAILED.

The more ignorant portion Of the Repub.
lican press of the Territory among which
we are sorry to be compelled to class our
too often mistaken evening contemporary,
have repeatedly declared that Mr.. Toole's
bill. providing for the assessment of the
surveyed lands of the Northern Pacific
in Montana, was imperative from the fact
that there are no such lands to assess, and
if there were no such taxes could or would
be collected. The object of making these as
sertions is to belittle the labors of Mr..
Toole in behalf of the people of Montana.
Judge Blake has tried on this Republican
dodge and just how it was met by Mr..
Toole in his speech at Livingston the other
night is thus told by the Bozemau Chronicle:
IA notable incident OF his-Toole's-
speech was the arraignment of Judge Blake,
whom he accused of publicly stating that
even if Mr.. Toole had secured a bill taxing
railroad lands such taxes could not and
would not be collected. Mr.. Toole called
upon Assessor Mcdonald. who was in the
audience, to refute the statement, which he
did, stating that the railroad company
had forwarded it's assessment list to him,
which made an addition OF $1,000 to the
tax receipts oil Gallatin County"

Before The MINER gets through with Col.
Sanders pro-Chinese record. the Inter
Mountain will wish it had never referred to
the subject. The Inter Mountain may
squirm and wxiggle as it will. and attempt
to shield-what no other Republican paper
in the Territory attempts-Sanders from
the full force of that record, but the fact
renains the same that the Republican
candidate for Delegate in Congress declared
himself squarely in favor of Chinese immi-
grafton and openly ana publicly stated
that q Chinaman was as good as any other
foreigner. The Inter Mountain may smoke
on that awhile.

Our dispatches state that the Socialists

Our dispatches state that the Socialists
of London propose to hold their process
sion in spite OF the warnings Of the police,
and that 100, 900 member. of the nnion
will take part liz it. 1t is a vast body OF
men to handle, and should they be inter-
iered with by the populace serious trouble
may nsue. They, however, will guarantee
peace during the procession provided they
be given control OF the police. The propo-
sition is a decidedly cool one and indicates
the possession OF an assurance on the part
OF the s~ocialistic gentry as pronounced as
it is colossal.

MINERAL PRODUCTS.

The following condensed statement OF
the mineral productions of the United
States in the calendar year 1885 is from
advance proof sheets prepared by Mr..
David T. Day, Chief of Division OF Mining
Statistics and Technology, OF a report
shortly to be issued by the United States
Geological Survey. The value of gold, as
estimated by the mint authorities, is
S31,SO1, 900, an increase of $1,OO1, 900
over 1884, while the production Of silver
is similarly estimated at $51, GOO, OOO, an
increase Of 81, 800, 600 over 1884.
The production of copperin 1884, includ
ing 5,O86, 847 pounds madefrom imported
pyrites, was ITO, 1862, 6O7 pounds, valued
in New York at $1s,292, 999 at the aver
age price OF 1O.7 cents per pound. The in
crease in pounds over 1884 was 25, 74O,-
667; in value s5O3, 312.
Tables showing the value OF metallic
and non-metallic mineral productions Of
the country for the calendar years 1882,
1883, 1884 and 1885 are also given. The
metallic minerals include gold, silver, cop
per, pig iron, lead, zinc, quicksilver, nickel,
anthony, platinum and aluminium. The
non-metallic minerals include 80 different
kinds, embracing coal, petroleum, lime, salt,
building stone, marls. asbestus, sulphur,
mineral waters, etc. The following are the

Grand total......... S428, 521. 1856
These tables show that during the past
four years the total value of the mineral
productions Of the country has somewhat
decreased, vet the summary from which
they were taken shows a fair increase in
the value Of silver and copper during the
same period. while the production of gold
has fallen from s32, 500, 900 in 1882 to
s31, 900 in 1885. The report develops
one important fact, and that is: If the
maximum amount of silver were coined
permitted by the Bland act there would
remain but $4,000 900 of that metal
produced in this country to be
thrown upon the markets of the world.
