THE INCORPORATION MATTER.
Lucien W. Voolfolk Appointed to Take
The Census

Chairman Evans with Commissioner
Walker and Batterton were all present at
the special meeting last Friday to receive
the petition and map for the incorporation
of Deer Lodge, which, having been present.
ed in proper form by the committee and
found correct, it was ordered that Lucien W..
Voolfolk be appointed to take the census
and report the same to the Commissioners at
their meeting June 5, when the order for
election will be made.
From the census taken up to this time it is
believed the number of inhabitants in the
town will fall below 1900, making it a town
incorporation instead OF a city OF the second
class. We will probably have to reconcile
ourselves to the idea that it is better to be a
FIRST class town than a second class city.
West Deer Lodge being omitted from the
incorporate limits took a large slice Oft the
town and carried with it a large number OF
inhabitants. But a town organization will
answer all purposes that a city organization
would, the expenses being less, and aside
from that the difference being principally in
the name.
It was believed for a time that only free
holders, owners of real estate, could vote on
the question Of incorporation, but Mr..
O'Bannon states q more complete investiga-
ton of the law shows that all qualified cleo
tors can vote on incorporation as we'll as on
re-incorporation or for city officers. This
NAV prevent a number of transactions In
real estate, but as there is little floating ele-
ment here the result will be practically the
a0mo.

THE BUTTE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The Republicans Elect Thirteen Out Of
Eighteen Candidates. NJ.

In the Butte municipal election, Monday,
there were four tickets in the field, the Re
publican headed by Judge Hamilton for
Mayor, the Democratic by DR.. Newton, the
Workingmen by Marsh and the Citizens by
Owsley.
Hamilton, Rep, for Mayor, was elected by
a plurality Of 287 !; Lippincott, Rep, for Po-
lice Magistrate, had a plurality of 400; Speer,
Rep. for City Attorney, had a majority of
593. and Cannon, Rep, for Treasurer, had a
majority of 6l5. Following is the City Coun
Gil elect. @=@"
Republicans-F. e. Sergeant, Jas. II. Mon.
teath, w. E. Pettes, B.. +. Calkins, w. Pink
ham, Diff Olson, E. w. Wynne, George s..
Lewis and James &. Evans.
Democrats-Wm McDermott, James H.
Lynch, Z. L. Mahoney and Phil. Levy.
There was a tie between Bray and Mulville
for Alderman, and in the Third ward it was
held that McDermott was ineligible by non
residence, which questions will be deter
mined by the new Council
The Miner is very bitter in its Remuneration
of MI. Owslev, who was a former Democratic
Mayor, for coming out on a Citizens ticket
with a number OF Republican candidates.,
alleging he beat the Democratic ticket but
as Hamilton received GG4 votes, Newton 366
and Owsley 337, it will be seen that had
Owsley remained out of the field Hamilton
would only have required 80 of his 337 votes
to elect him, anyhow. The Inter- Mountain
claims the issue of the Republican campaign
was for pure water in good supply, and there
should be no OueStiOn Of fav0rahla action
now if a commendable proposition is made.

STRUCK IT RICH.
A Body or Rich Ore Struck Deep In the
Mountain Lion.

Mountain Lion.
Some ten days ago the workmen in the
Mountain Lion, who rave been running
over GO feet in a dry. black, barren vein
matter Of good width but carrying little
quartz, were gratifed BY water coming in
and a feather edge Of rich ore with it on
the foot wall, which in - feet widened out
to q feet Of good milling ore with some u
inches Of high grade ore, an inferior piece OF
it assaying 36l ounces. It is altogether the
best ore body found in the mine, extending
IN through the entire face, and as 1t was
struck 70 feet short Of where it was expected
to be found from the surface cropping, 1t has
created much good feeling among stock
holders. The vertical depth is now about 14o
feet and if this ore shoot is continuous there
will be a good stopping body from the tunnel.
The last 20 feet Of the tunnel had been run
without timbering, but coming into this ore
Foreman Jones put on the tunnel force tim
bering up, and it has probably occupied most
Of the time since.
The cross-cut is in about 60 feet from the
foot wall and although water was coming IL
the face freely neither ore nor granite had
becn struck up to yesterday. 1t shows there
is good ground to sink a shaft in without
going through granite for 80 or 200 feet we
hone to chronicle still better news by another

The Two New Mills.
Philipsb,trq Mail 18th.

The question Of the building of the mills
by the Granite and Bi-Metallic mining COM
panies has at last been definitely settled.
They will be built, and that, too, immedi-
atety. The site chosen is in Douglas Gulch,
about two miles from tow and one mile
from the Bi-Metallic Grounds. The Granite
Company will build an eighty-stamp, and
the Bi-Metallic a forty-stamp mill, as previ-
ously decided upon.
The following extract from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat of May 6 goes considerably
into detail, and may he relied upon as being
substantially correct:
"Since Capt. Plummer, Superintendent of
the Granite Mountain mine, arrived here
last week, not a day has elapsed without his
being called into consultation with the direc-
tors In regard to the proposed mill and other
matters. The decision to build a new eighty
stamp mill was arrived at long ago, but MANY
difficulties were encountered which required
time and patience to overcome. The princi-
pal one was in regard to location. This has
now been settled, the contract let, and the
new mill will soon be under way. The site
chosen is a spot situated between Philips
burg and a point On Douglas Creek, and
about one mile from the mine and three from
Ph'lipsburg. As Philipsburg is the terminus
OF the road, the Company will be required
to build an extension to their new mill and
also a %tra,mway from the mine to the mill.
The former, as estimated by one of the di-
rectors yesterday, will cost upwards of $780,
GOO, and the latter about $4,000. The mill
itself is to cost $3.50, 600, so that the total out
lay Of that company will not be less than
$500,00 0 The contract for the mill was
awarded to Fraser & Chalmers, of Chicago,
yesterday, it is said, though some of the d.
rectors left last evening for New York, their
business not being divulged. 1t was re-
ported, however, that they went to examine
some portions of mill machinery there before
finally closing up the contract in full with
the Chicago firm.
The Bi-Metallic company at yesterdays
meeting also decided to contract for a forty
stamp mill, and it was resolved to erect it at
a point as near as possible to the new Gran
lite mill. Both companies will probably con-
tribute to the railway extension and it will
be used as joint or common property. The
old question of a consolidation of the two
companies was brought up and was declared
to be impracticable, or at least undesirable,
and is now altogether a thiug Of the past.

MINERAL LANDS.
A Special Examiner Sent TO Orc Elmo Dis
trict. -

Mr.. John A. Gum, Special Land Agent of
the Interior Department., was specially in
structed a few days ago to at once examine
the mountainous country between Deer
Lodge and Butte and report on its mineral
or non-mineral character. Mr.. Gum this
week made the examination as directed. He
found in a small part of Orc Fine district
alone over ninety mineral locations, and
several companies at work developing. He
was beside furnished with a tracing of the
map made by County Surveyor Davis. and
copies of afidavits covering a vast area of
country where mineral locations are almost
as thick as at Butte. There can be no ques-
ton of the mineral character of the entire
region Of country, and there IS little doubt
that the Interior Department, so fortified
with incontestible evidence, will withhold
patents to the railroad company on all such
mineral lands. The region shown up is but
a small area of that endangered by the appli-
cation Of the railroad company for patent,
but citizens of Deer Lodge had pursued the
proper course in relation to showing its
mineral character to the Department and
were fortunately prepared to present the
evidence promptly.

John Bortell was killed at Argenta a few
nights ago. The Tribune says there are two
accounts. There was a drunken row in front
of Carhart's saloon. One account says two
men were fighting. that Bortell kicked at
them and fell backwards, striking his head
and breaking his neck. The other is that he
was knocked down in the street and his neck
broken by the blow, this report being most
credited. The Coroner was investigating.

Notice!


We invite the attention of the farmers of
Deer Lodge County to our lines OF Harvest
ing and Haying Implements, and suggest
that they now place their orders for Mowers,
Rakes aud Binders, and ave disappointment
by waiting until all machines are sold, as
has been done for several years past. The
Crown Mower is justly celebrated as being
the lightest running, closest cutting and
most durable Mower in the country, and IS
fully warranted in every respect to be as
claimed. Its large sale is its best recon-
mendation. showing that the farmers OF this
section recognize its superiority over all
Others, and have no fear of breakage or de-
lays while using it. The ~Hollingsworth Rake
is well known to be the best made, and as to
the Esterly Binder, we challenge any Binder
sold in Montana to enter the field and COM
pete, this being the test we ask and invite to
prove the ''Esterly" is the King OF Binders.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this ''nervous trouble with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember a few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the
meaning of another word used by our fore
fathers in times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to
cover what cur grandfathe,s called Bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver which
in performing its functions finding it cannot
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever. etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate q cure. We
