The Greatest Mining Company.

The greatest mining company in the
world il the one which owns the Home
stake, at Lead City. Dakota, three miles
from Deadwood. The mine employs $500
men. 1t is an extraordinary vein. 300 feet
wide, decomposed talcote slate running
So, and saving TX on plates. The mine
was bought in 1875 for 500, 900 by George
Hearst, the lately appointed Senator from
California. 1t was stocked through Hagg1n
& Tevis at S. per share, 100, 900 shares,
and has paid $3,75O,OOO in dividends.
There are over 100000 in the treasury:
The stock has recently been increased
$4,000 shares, thus there are now
125,OOO shares in all. The increase
was made for purchasing additional prop
erty. This mine pays $4,000 month
dividend, and an extra Christmas present
of 81 per share. There are sixty miles OF
water bitches and seventy miles OF wood
roads. The wood cars are emptied on the
hillside above the mill, The chute is SO
built that the wood piles itself up in front
of the mills, and thus requires no more
handling. The four mills, $50 stamps, are
reducing 1,75O tons OF rock day. 1.-Two
hundred more stamps are to be added
There is ore enough in sight, it is calculated,
to last thirty years. The ore in the vein
for 300 feet in width is worked like an
omen cut, the face of which is now
about 500 feet high. 1t is under
cut and blown out, and thus continued up
ward. In this ore body itself there is :,
ten foot vein which mills $50 per ton. II
is used to average the balance. 1t is free
milling, remarkably free. There is nc n
stock swindle in the management. which ls
also managing the Ontario OF Utah, tina,
has paid 81. .OOO, 900, and is paying, yet a a.
the rate of rs cents share month (loo,
600 shares), also manager OF the Ana
conda mine and mill at Butte Clty, mon
tana. The same concern also owns Valua
BILE property in Alaska.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 2O.-An Off
rial statement has been issued by the Rus
siau Government explaining it's action in
rpcalIing Gen. Kaulbars from Bulgaria.
The document says:
In consequence of insults to Russian sub
ects and also to persons under the protec-
lion OF Russia in Bulgaria and Eastern
Romalia, Gen. kaulbars has been com.
nelled to notify Nacevics, the Bulgarian
Minister of Foreign AKairs, that all Rus

philipopolis who was maltreated by soldiers
and by very large crowd of people armed
with sticks, and was brought to the Rus
sian Consulate insensible. Gen. Kaulbars

had been made by order of the military au-
thorties. He demanded the dismissal of
the local Rrigadier General and Project who
was responsible, and the exemplary pun
;shment Of those who participated in the
attack. He also demanded that the Rus

Kaulbars, nor given the satisfaction re-
ouired, Kaulbars and all the Russian Con-
suls in Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia

FARMERS WANTED.

While it is true that the forced growth
of a country is neither advantageous nor
desirable, it is equally true that a growth
induced by the ability ef city or country
sustain larger population should always
be encouraged. Nearly all the Western
States and Territories, with the exception
of Montana, have inaugurated and sus'
tanned movements looking to the promo
tion of settlement within their borders.
This Montana has done, and considering
all that it has to offer, she has received but
little benefit from the vast number OF I'M
migrants who have come to the United
States during the past ten or fifteen years.
And vet there is no Territory in the Union
which offers attractions more peculiarly
auitt,d to the tastes OF the hardy popula-
+;on Of Austria, Switzerland and Germany
than are some Of those which Montana
offers. But there has been no effort made
| to attract immigration to our TERRITORY
from those countries. There is an abundance
of room here for immigrants seeking homes,
and many OF the Inhabitants OF the coun'
tries mentioned could in a short time
habituate themselves to life in our noun
| tains.
But it is not foreign immigration only
that we should invite. In the eastern part
of our own country there are many thou
sands who, carried forward by the rest

Mc0uade's Examination Closed and Ar
Eument Opened.
NEW York. November 2O.-After Nc
Quade's examination the court took re.
cess. During the recess the cases of Alder
men Cleary, O'Neill and Reilly were called,
and District Attorney MARITIME moved to
fix the dates for their trials. He then
moved separately for their trials, fixing
Reilly's for the goth, O'Neil's for December
Is and Cleary's for December 27. Re-
corder Smythe suggested that the trials be
made consecutively, one following the ter
nina ton OF the other. This was agreed to
and notice made. MARITIME had intended to
move for the commitment of the boodlers,
but finding that the Recorder did not agree.
desisted from his motion. After recess
Gen. Tracy argued that no evidence had
been produced to connect the defendant
with the charges in the Indictment. The
law demanded that there must be other
evidence besides that of an accomplice.
He cited decisions and moved to instruct
the jury to acquit McQuade. The motion
was denied. Gen. Tracy then began the
opening address to the jury.

MONEY BADLY SPENT.

Under the above caption the San Fran
that money has been raised in that city
and sent East to hire counsel for the Chi
cago anarchists on an appeal OF their case
to the Supreme Court OF the United States,
and adds: ut is certainly money badly
spent. The times and humanity are out of
conceit with assassination, whether perpe-
rated collectively in groups Or by individ-
uals. The crime of the convicted anarchists
was remarkable because It was new in
Am ric;l. 1t g'ew out If supposed license
IN speech. These men thought that they
had a right to lreach murder in q free
country. as # it were the best and most
holy OF tll;n;s. But it turns out that MUIR
der is not right and is not included in our
list OF personal liberties.
The Judge who tried the anarchists said
in his decision: "There is no previous ex-
ample OF such crime as this; there is no
precedent of any cas- l..e it having become
the subject Of judicial investigation, but
the principle oi law is well fixed" That is,
the principle is well established that q per-
son who ircsss and brings about the COM
mission Of murder is guilty OF the crime,
c!lous:l lie may not bear the knife himself
or even know the time and place or imme'
diate instrument OF it's execution. 1t
would be most dangerous to society if the
conditions were otherwise. If men could
incite to murder, cognizant of the low with
out being amenable to the law, there would
be no safeguard for life. Eyen admitting
that the anarchists are the victims OF a
wild delusion, and imbued with the idea
that they were engaged in crusade against
monstrous injustice and oppression, what
are their lives compared with those OF the
men, women and children who might be-
come the victims OF the modes OF redress
which they advocated? 1t is evident that
safety and even-handed justice alike de-
mand that in the first instance OF their
bloody instructions being carried into ef-
feet, the ingredients OF the poisoned chalice
should be presented to their own lips. An
effort, therefore, to save the lives OF these
men is crime against society,"

The Partisan press, in demanding a new

WINNIE DAVIS.

After the lapse OF a quarter OF q century
it appears kind Providence has opened q
way by which the "bloody chasm" may
be bridged, and everything made lovely be-
tween the North aud the South. The st. Paul
Globe should receive the credit OF having
discovered that way in the person OF Miss
Winnie Davis, the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter OF Mr.. Jefferson Davis.
Here is what it says: Some appreciative
and enterpr;s:nc voung man OF the North
has now an excellent opportunity OF doing
more than orators and statesmen have
been able to do through their most per-
suasive eloouence and profound delibera-
tions. Legislators have tried to bring
about cordiality Of feeling between the
two sections, but have failed. Theorists
have pointed out ways to bring them
nearer together. but their theories have
fallen lamentably short in practice. The
breach, not noticeable 1T times, but
still always existing, has never been
healed. But now way is clearly
open. The South idolizes Miss
Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Con-
federacy" To her is yielded all the dcier-
ence for which the chivalrous Southern nA-
ture is noted in regard to womankind. She
compels the admiration OF every Southern
man and is graciously conceded her
eminence by the Southern women
without pang of jealousy. Miss Davis
| will spend the ensuing winter in the North.
Let some worthy Northern young man
| +ho,, no no 1ess Gallant than his Southern
brethren. Let him WOO and win Miss Win
ME, and thus create a bond OF sympathy
which will bind the two sections into one
harmonious whole. The youths OF the
South will soothe their disappointment In
ap; recitation of the Northerner's excellent
t ste, and the young women will not regret
With dissatisfaction the 2ioyal OF d rival
whose destinations no Southern young man
has ev, r cen su! jecte,i to u:mcved."

All signs indicate that Congress will at

to revise the tariff. 1t is conceded that the
internal tax, which has been largely reduced
since the war, is still a heavy burden on

Union. 1t has always been unpopular, for
it's execution involves harsh system OF

confined to acts of q general character,
