MINING INTERESTS.
Reports From Several Montana Mining
Camps.

Reports From Several Montana Mining
Camps.
The Argenta district is going ahead
satisfactorily in mining operations and
developing work. The indications are,
the Dillon Tribune says, that the opening
of spring will witness boom in that
district that will have lasting effect.
The operated mines are all showing we'll
at present.
The operations of the Tuscarora COM
pany, at Argenta, are entirely satisfac-
tory. The furnace is running smoothly,
and is making a good record in the per
diem production of silver-lead bullion
The Tuscarora mine is looking well.
Other mines in the Argenta district are
showing up finely. Hugh Mcdonnell,
in the Smuggler mine, an extension Of
the Stapleton mine, struck large body of
tirst-class ore on Tuesday. The assays of
ore run go ounces in silverand 1886 in gold
to the ton, and 40 per cent. in lead.
In the Elkhorn district considerable
prospecting and developing work was
done during the past season, which is be-
ing continued this winter to some extent.
The handling of some of the best de-
veloped properties in the Elkhorn dis
trict by interested capitalists, it is ex
pected, will bring the needed amount of
capital to properly open and successfully
operate the mines.
In the Bald Mountain district, the Mono
mine, owned by Messrs. Mason and Steel,
is showing an abundance of ore, consid-
ering the depth to which the mine has
been opened. A shaft has been sunk on
the ore vein to depth of so feet.
A fine body of ore has been struck in
the Toledo mine, near Sheridan, A tun-
mel has been driven which taps the vein
at depth of 1876 feet and which cut
through a five foot vein OF galena before
reaching the big strike. Assays have
been made of the ore which assayed $95
in silver and $3.50 in gold to the ton and
46 per cent. in lead. The owners of the
mine, Messrs. Budd & Nickel, are judi
liant over their strike in the Toledo, and
are confident that they have one of the
biggest bonanzas in Montana.
NE1HART WELL TESTED. -
A Neihart letter says: "The small ex-
tent Of the development work done here
shows that veins are regular and go down
for hundreds of feet, while the quality of
the ore produced is above the average for
silver. We have one of the best camps.
in Montana, and it can be easily proven
by visiting the ore dumps and see what
ore has been taken out for the work done.
Our case has been fac smile of camps
that are proving to be the best in the
mountains. Time and experience has
proved that mining as we'll as any other
business requires thorough, competent
business men,"

IT PANS OUT WELL.
Specimens Of the Ore which Barker
Produces.

Produces.
P. H. HURLEY has had ore from the
Tiger mine assayed by H. H. Chandler,
who finds that it yields per ton 40 per
cent of lead, 1904 16-1OO ounces silver and
$115 gold. This mine is in the Barker
district. There is a go foot tunnel and 23
foot shaft on it. The shaft shows VEN
from 10 to IA feet wide. The tunnel
shows ten foot vein. Mr.. Hurley says
that it is reported considerable gold ex-
lists in the Middle Fork district. 1t is
also believed that Burghardt is about to
acquire the Clendenin smelter.
Mr.. Hurley is greatly gratitied at the
approaching establishment of reduction
works here. He says: They will enable
us to sell our ore or to lease our mines.
We have good mines and only need capt.
tai to work them. They are true fissure
veins and lie between lime and porphyry.
darker is good place for prospecting.
The field is still wide and the work easy"

OUR WOOL INTEREST

Opinions of Charles S. Gibso1l--He is Con-
fident That Congress Will Reject
Promptly the Free Trade
Scheme.
Charles s. Gibson, the we'll known and

Charles s. Gibson, the well known and
prosperous sheep-owner, says:
"The sheep on the ranges are in excel
lent condition and the outlook was never
better. There will be Il large increase on
last years wool clip, and probably higher
prices. look confidently for higher
prices because the production of wool
has fallen off, while the demand for it
has increased and is increasing. [ do not
think that congress will reduce the duty
on wool or entertain any proposal to place
it on the free list. Congress will promptly
reject any proposal to that effect and the
question will become part Of the leading
issue in the coming presidential cam
paign. When manufacturers see that the
question has been disposed of so far as
congress is concerned, they will buy more
freely and prices will advance. | am con-
tident also that congress will not throw
open our market to foreign wool because
that would be ruinous to farmers in the
middle states who depend largely on
sheep-raising for a livelihood. We must
hold the home market for the home pro-
ducer." Mr.. Gibson says that there are
no losses this season-thnt is, none except
such as arise from natural causes i'll any
season. Mr.. Gibson, it should be noted is
a democrat, which should give his
opinions additional weight with the party
leaders at Washington

THE PRACTICAL TEST,
Results of the Trial of the Sand Coulee
Coal on the Montana Central.

Results of the Trial of the Sand Coulee
Coal on the Montana Central.
Engine No. &c. that left for Helena last
Sunday, took out a train Of 16 cars and
was propelled by steam made from Sand
Coulee coal, this being the first practical
test of the steam quality Of the coal Oh
railway engine. The result was satislac-
tory in the highest degree, as will be seen
by the following telegram from General
Manager Shelby, who was on the train:
HELENA, February s2.-Paris Gibson,
Great Falls: Our test of the coal on en-
CINE No. 66 last Sunday was very salts
factory. Its action in the fire box is quite
similar to Rock Springs coal.
P. P. SHELBY.
The chief Of the fuel department of
the Manitoba railway was also on the
train and carefully noted the results of
the experiment. lie agrees fully with
Colonel Shelby, and has sent to head
quarters a very tlattering report on the
subject He says the coal has the high
est steam qualities is free from clinkers
and sulphur, and is in every respect salts
factory.
This is red letter event for the coal
industry at Great Falls and vicinity and
Il guarantee of rapid and extensive de-
velopment at the collieries. This coal
| will be used on the Manitoba as far as
Grand Forks and probably over the en-
tire system. Hundreds Of tons daily
will he required for this purpose alone.
IN TIE HELENA MARKET
The Herald says: "The first car load
Of Sand Cuulee coal reached Helena on
Sunday. The day before the coal was
given practical test on one of the Mon
tana Central engines and proved itself to
be in every respect equal to the Ohio coal
which has heretofore been in use. With
this coal in the fire-box the engine climbed
the steep Sun river grade, in the face OF
Il head wind, ut the rate of Is miles per
| hour. Like the Rock Springs coal, the
Sand Conlne product makes very little
smoke, is free from sulphur, clean and
excellent for fuel. This coal will be
placed Oh the market within two or three
weeks ut Il price very much lower than
that now charged for soft COAL"

CHINESE EXCLUDED.
The President Signs the Bill, and Gives
His Reasons for Doing So.

The President. has sigued the Chinese
exclusion bill and sent a long and somewhat
perfunctory message To congress on the sub
iect. In this paper he recited the well
and oft-repeated fact that the experiment
of blending the social habits Of the Mongo.
lian laboring classes with those of the great
body of the people of the United States has
Iroved an utter failure, and goes at length
into the legislation enacted 10 restrict and
prohibit the coming Of the Chinese, from
the Burlingame treaty To the treaty just re
jected by China. The failure of the efforts
10 stay the tide of Asiatic immigration in
duced Mr.. Cleveland TO find an es-
ffectual remedy for the evil. This re-
suited in the framing Of the recent
ly rejected treaty. He received no def
mite information regarding the fate of the
treaty in China until the day the bill Just sign
ed came TO him from congress. The ground
of the rejection was Chi mas desire to short
en- the period stipulated Tor the exclusion
OF the Chinese laborers and to permit
laborers in the United States to return to
Oh ma on visits. The president argues that
the United States possesses the undoubted
right in self defense to exclude from its
borders foreign population detrimental TO
its moral and physical well being, and
that by the rejection Of the treaty China
has virtually abandoned indefinitely any
attempt to cooperate with this country
upon the subject.
The only suggestions made TO congress
in the message are the payment of the
Rock Springs indemnity (already provided
for by congress aud now in conference)
and the following remarkable PROPOSE
ton:
Justice and fairness seem TO require that
some provision should be made by act of
Joint resolution under which such Chinese
laborers as shall actually have embarked
on their return TO the United States before
the passage Of the law this day approved,
and are now on their way, may be permit
ted to land, provided they have duly and
lawfully obtained and shall present certiti-
Gates heretofore issued permitting them 10
return in accordance with the provisions of
existing law.

r. b. Barry, member Of the genoral exec
utive board of the Knights of Labor, has
sent lengthy letter addressed TO the chair
man and members of the executive board
of that order resgning his position as a
member of the board. In his letter he
scathingly arraigns the administration of
the affairs of the Knights of Labor. He
saws that he cannot longer endure TO be a
witness TO the many frauds and receptions
practiced upon the innocent masses; that he
finds to be one of the members of the eXecu-
tive board is 10 be party TO fraud that
leads the minimizing masses TO hunger and
social suffering with nothing for it but
promises never intended TO be kept. Mr..
Barry saws he desires TO see the order live.
but thinks il is impossible for il 10 survive
another year under the methods now prac-
ticed by the present administration of the

THE STATE.
Several Lives Lost.

The norwesterly gale on the LIST inst. was
the severest experienced on Lake Huron for
number of years. In spite OF the falling
barometer and cautionary signals, several
lows pulled out of Sand Beach in the after
noon, among them being the steam barge
Lowell with six harges in tow. She return
ed late in the evening and attempted TO
get into the harbor of refuge, but just At the
entrance the tow line parted and the whole
tow went adrft. The barges st. Clair,
Lilly MAY, Oliver Cromwell and William
Young came 10 anchor near by, but the Sea-
gull and Magnet went adrift.
The life saving crew went to the St.
Clair and offered to take off her crew, but
they refused, though they agreed TO signal
for help if they required it.. At II p. m she
showed her signals and the life savers went
out 10 her The ST Clair, being heavily
loaded with coal, went TO pieces during the
night, and nothing was heard from tho life
crew until next morning at 1870, when they
were reported at Port = anilac. The life
boat had succeeded in taking of the barge
crew but could not face the heavy sea, so
she was put before il. In attempting land
ing at Port Saniac the boat was capszed,
and four men and the woman cook OF the
St Clair crew were drowned. The life
saving crew are all safe.
The names of the lost are Capt. G. III.
Jones of Bay City; sailors, Henry Auder
son OF Australia; George McFarlane OF
Cleveland; Louis Fcrtaw of Bay City, and
the cook, Julil Greawreath of Sebewaing.
The rescued are Maurice McKenas of Bay
City and John Rose of Detroit. The bodies
of the lost have not yet washed ashore.
