MAMMOTHS IN SIBEAIA.
Remains Of the Monstrous Beasts Yet
Found in Quantities.

EOuHu III Duantltles'
The existence of ivory in Siberia in
subfossil condition, but still sufficiently
durable to be used for all the purposes to
which recent ivory is applied, has been
known since the middle ages, and formed
one of the earliest exports from Siberia to
China. The very name given to the
gigantic creature which produced it, says
the Saturday Reriew mammoth or mann
mont-probably corruption of behemoth
was introduced by the Arab traders, who
initiated the traffic in fossil ivory in the
tenth century. 1t was not, however, until
the middle OF the eighteenth century that
the trade became considerable. In or
about 1850, a Russian merchant discovered
vast stores of elephant tusks and bones in
the northern districts of Siberia, and es-
pecially on the islands off the mouth of
the Lena, which have since borne his
name. The ivory brought thence, says
the traveller Wrangell, :" is often As fresh
and white as that from Africa" Since
Liachofs discovery it has been COM
900 mammoths have been exported
while an even larger number are
too much decayed to be worth removal,
and others are so large that they have to

found These buried hecatombs of ele-
pnants abound throughout the frozon soil
of Siberia, but they are more numerous the
further we advance northward, and most
plentiful of all on the island above named,
and in those termed New Siberia. More
remarkable still are the mammoth num-

tered, whole carcasses not infrequently
standing upright in the frozen soil, with
their flesh ''as fresh as if just taken out of

The people OF Butte have already had an
experience Of the costly experiment OF
fighting Government patents. II the

there is large proportion of the ground

to be within one OF the sections to which
the road claims title. The owners of mines
or claims now being worked. wherever they
lie, il on ground that the road receives a
patent for, would have to buy their claim
from the company and the price asked
would be the full value. It is necessary, to
make the required showing before the
General Land Office, to be prepared
to incur considerable expense. Distributed
among many this expense will be %trifing.
The action to be taken by tho convention
that meets in Helena tomorrow is in the
interest Of every mine owner in Montana, |

share of the expense Of sending these dele
gates to Helena ~ well as the expense that
will follow the plan of action to be devised

spent in this way an incalculable sum will
be saved. It can be put down by each in

TEE excitement OF train-robbing will be
somewhat enhanced by the new move Of
the postal authorities to arm the mail
clerks. But it is one thing to supply y man
with an arsenal, and another thing to get
him to use It. Several notable instances OF
bravery IN the part OF mail clerks lately
have resulted in saving the mail bags and
the whole train from robbery. But is it
fair to expect these employees to risk their
lives to save the mails? With determined
robbers of the Younger and James pattern
resistance did not scare them off. To be
sure, the spirit OF these bold outlaws has
not been inherited by any OF their later
followers. They were expert marksmer,
and had an unpleasant knack of shooting
10 kill. Still, equally desperate men nay
appear at any time to take the same
chances, and the mail clerk who resists may
at any moment be either manned for life or
killed. II the postal authorities wish to
protect the mail cars efficiently, an extra
man should 60 with each mail clerk whose
duty it would be to incur all the risk and
stand off the robbers. But this would be
an addition to the cost of tho mail service
that would outrage the economical feelings
OF the Postotice Department and is OF
course out of the question.

THE BEAUTIES OF TEMPERANCE.

A GRINDING MONOPOLY.

The sugar trust recently formed taxes the
New York hotel men very heavily. and
they are complaining with good cause OF
the iniquitous extortion they now have to
endure. A. an instance the Fifth Avenue
Hotel is mentioned as using 800 pounds a
day and the rise already made causes an
additional expense to it of over 1900 a
year. The New York sugar-importing
houses are seriously thinking OF stopping
importations of raw material for the pres
emit. until they can find a better market for
it than is o presented there.
The trust absolutely controls nearly
all the refneries OF the country
and entirely shuts off competition
for the raw sugar. The consequence is that
the importers are turning away to other
ports sugar cargoes destined for this ceun-
try, thereby losing to the custom-house a
large amount of duty. The discounts
which the trust allows purchasers are ridic-
ulously small and Wholesale grocers are OBJ
~strenuously to them. 1t is asserted
Wholesale grocers in New York who can
afford to buy enough sugar at a!
to get the benefit Of the largest
discount, which is X per cent. on 1000
barrels and upward. As to the small
wholesalers, they have no show at all and
it said that the new system is a blow at
them. But nothing apparently can be done
to alter the position of affairs. The entire
country is at the mercy of the trust. Con.
are of course the sufferers in the
