is ever to come up to the level of it's deserts.
This year is destined to see Butte at it's
most prosperous estate for a long while.
The impression is general that with the ad-
vent Of the Montana Central, the high
prices prevailing for copper keeping the out
put up to high-water mark, the increase
expected in prospecting and leasing with
the chances OF rich strikes being made, q
season of prosperity is assured. This is the
proper time to take advantage of the in
creased life impaired to business and by
incorporation place the city in position
to improve with its surroundings. In the
matter OF enlargement of the city's boun-
diaries it is not necessary to aim at in
Guiding too much territory at first. The
for enlarging at any future time
are ample. If any addition outside the
limits wishes to be incorporated, it is an
matter to admit it. But in the first
ms ance a moderate extension will be more
likely to carry.

REPUBLICAN METH DDS.

There was a contest lately in the Eleventh
Congressional district OF Michigan between
Seymour Republican, and Breen Demo.
craft in which the Republicans carried the
day by a very reduced majority. They
resorted to the most nefarious methods
even to accomplish that lesult. 1t is stated
by an eye witness that they spent money
like water and some foremen of the mines
OF which the district is Or, life voted their
men like cattle. III one OF them walked to
the polls with his band closed over
a ticket the foreman would grab the fist,
opHn it up and if the ballot was for Breen
it was torn up and one for Seymour sub.
stituted." The men of the Champion
mine, 0 in number, are instanced as be-
ing thus coerced into voting for the Repub-
lican candidate, although they are nearly
all Knights Of Labor and Breen was poll
ing the Labor vote. 1.-The men of that
mine asserted themselves a few years ago
and voted as they felt. What was the
re ult? They were not discharged. Oh,
no. The corporation is too sharp for
that. The workmen were quietly frozen
OUT, their wages being rapidly cut down un-
til some OF the poor fellows were working
for Sc a week before they threw up the
sponge" Had such scenes as these occur
red in Mississip, i the Republican press oil
the country would TEEN with diatribes
the shameful obstruction of a free
ballot and denounce the election as a farce. |
When hard pushed Republicans are found
to be INSCRIPTIONS enough to resort to the
most ubiquitous perversion OF the rights OF
voters to accomplish their ends.

MINERAL LAND CLAIMS.
The Work of Examining into the Charac-
ter of the N. p. Lands in Progress.

The Work of Examining into h Charac-
ter of the N. p. Lands in Progress.
For several days q committee conist-
ing of w. j. Mcnamara, Dave Upton, DR..
| Beale, B. Raderbush M j. H. Harper,
have. at the. instance of the Silver Bow
committee of the mineral land convention,
| been examining the lands in this county
| that are embraced within the limits OF the
railroad grant and are claimed to be min
eral. Mr.. Harper accompanied the party
in his capacity as surveyor. and made &C
curate measurement Of the ground as it was
designated by the committee. The report
is not yet ready for publication, but will be
completed in a few days. In the meantime
it can be said that the report will be alb
s~olutely just and that the railroad com
pany will be accorded every inch Of ground
to which it is entitled while the people will
demand all that belongs to them under the
laws OF the Unsted States.
In this connection it will be seen from
the following, taken from the New North
west, that Deer Lodge County has COM
pleted it's work in the matter: As stated
last week, County Surveyor Davis, with
Messrs. J.. N. Fox, Benz. Franklin, and
Ed. Mckinstry proceeded to Orc Elmo dis
trict and run surveys of section and lode
lines in Townships 5 and 6 n, Range 8 w.,
covering the heads of Peterson. Orc Elmo
and Dry Cottonwood Creeks, and en-
bracing the scene OF operations there. They
found in Is sections 95 mineral locations.
Mr.. Hansen is o drafting a map showing
these locations and will nave it completed
to-day. These locations will be certified
with afidavite showing their mineral
character and forwarded to the General
Committee to forward to the General Land
Office. Some sections are covered as
thickly with locations as the hills above
Butte, and it promises to develop as one
OF the richest mineral districts in Mon
tana. And yet this was certified up as
"non-mineral" and the Northern Pacific
had applied for patent on the odd sections
of it. Fortunately the danger was diseov-
cred in time to meet it..

clines to express himself on the subject oil
Republican candidates in the field, but as
serts he did not retire in favor OF any par

in particular on the tariff question. Mr..

soonest women who ever claimed the title.
Mr.. C%orcoran became enamored of the lady
and offered her his hand and fortune, but
the possibility OF being first lady in the

proposition of Senator Douglas in the hope
and belief hat he would obtain the presi-

she was a loyal, loving wife to the great
and after his death married
General Robt. Williams, of the army, and
