The Discoverer of the Famed Drum
LummOn Visits the Cataract City,

The Discoverer of the Famed Drum
Lummon Visits the Cataract City.
Thomas Cruise and his nephew, Will
liam Cruise, arrived yesterday afternoon
by the Helena train. Mr.. Cruise found
himself quite at home at the Park, where
he met first the host, Mr.. Horst, with
whom he made many rides to 'Marysville
and elsewhere behind spirited horses,
such as the veteran does not care now to
drive. Mr.. Cruise met also many old
time friends and, in company with Mr.. 7.
E. Collins, he went to see the falls, the
Giant spring, and what probably interest
ed him most, the great smelter He also
drove over the city and suburbs, express
ing much surprise at the7many stores and
residences he observed in this phenome-
nal place. 55 .,5-5
Mr.. Cruise said that he was in the coun-
try west Of here in 1867 when Indians
were plenty and he ran some risk Of be-
ing caught by them. Speaking Of Mon
tana interests, he expressed preference
for cattle, although he has invested in
sheep. He has been overwhelmed with
offers from Canada, Minnesota and else
where to take the sheep off his hands for
an annual payment Of so cents per head,
but he has done nothing in that way so
far. He found that Minnesota farmer,
who corresponded with him on the sub
ject, wanted only 100 sheep! Mr. Cruise
has sound views on sheep management
and although he spoke some time ago OF
"leasing" his sheep he is in no hurry to
do so, and will make strict agreement
whenever he does.
Mr. Cruise reports the old reliable Drum
Lummon as doing we'll. Water is not
causing much trouble, but some altera
tlons in the machinery have reduced the
output. The company is now preparing
to work the mine at greater depth.
He paid Mr.. Paris Gibson a visit and
examed specimens Of coke made from
Sand Coulee coal. He spoke Interestingly
Of the early days Of the Drum Lummon
the rise in the price of silver and lead
and the general growth Of Montana. HI
was much interested in the progress
which has been made in the Barker ant
Neihart camps, of which he evidently
has good opinion.
Today Mr. Cruise left for Helena, in
tending to revisit Great Falls often. H,
| observed that the first trip is alway
deemed the most difficult. Hereafter hi
will think nothing Of boarding the car
and making the journey to Great Falls.
All who met Mr.. Cruise were pleased
with his unassuming manner. Although
his wealth is in the millions he is still
the same easy going Tom Cruise that h
| was when he sunk the tunnel that dis
disclosed the wonderful richness of tn,
Drum Lummon mine.

IA day or two ago. said Mr.. Ander-

for load of coal. He drove up to the
tunnel while the boys were at dinner and
filled up his wagon himself, on top his
coal he placed what he thought to be sew
eral large Jumps Of coal and was about to
drive off when the boys saw him and ask
ed him what he had there? "Coal," he
said, sand here is your pay The boys
told him they did not want to cheat him,
but that he was mistaken, that he did not
have coal in his wagon but black rock.
He laughed, turned round and drove back
sadder but wiser, threw off his rock and
put on coal.

AIR COMPREssORs.

Right across the coulee on the side of
the opposite hill and about 100 feet from
tunnel air compressors and boilers are
being laid. The size Of the opening to
the tunnel is about SIX feet high and ten
feet broad. The first or main entry runs
back for distance of over 600 hundred
feet. From this entries and rooms branch
off right and left. The mine is worked
on the room and pillar system. We
walked down to the end Of the main en-
try and examined the vein of coal as we
went. 1t is about an eight foot vein,
though its thickness varies considerably
in places. The absence Of timbering and
rofing after we had gone hundred
feet OF SO, at once attracted our attention.
Inquiring the reason Of it, Mr.. Anderson
said they had solid rock roof over head
and it was not necessary to do any timber
ing as in Spring Valley. The roof was
solid enough to hold itself up. The
sump was situated in the main entrance
near the rear end; the tracks running
over it. But we were told they intended
to change it to one side. The sump
being in its present position when the
boys took possession of the mine.

ALL GOOD COAL.


Leaving the main entry we stepped in
to a room at the side to examine better
the strata of coal. The height Of it in
this room attracted our attention at once.
Standing on a small lump of coal we held
our lamps up as high as we could but
could not come within about foot of
the roof. "a pretty good sized vein?" we
inquired, Eyes" said Mr.. Anderson, sand
it is all good coal, and some Of it making
good coke and all making good steam
coal" The coal has to be all shot down
at present, though it is the intention to
mine it with machines as soon as the
compressors can be got ready. The rock
overhead is as black as the coal itself and
is easily mistaken for it. -

This wretched business of arresting
peope who sell liquor to Indians should
be summary stopped. There was never
law more shamefully abused. 1t is
made an instrument of oppression for
the fees it grants. People are punished
on the merest technicalities as the case
of poor farmer from near Green Bay
clearly shows. This, man Geronto by
name, had some wood which he wanted
chopped. He got up a chopping bee and
among the men were some young Indians.
As at all "bees," the boys were treated to
whiskey and keg of beer was drunk.
Geronto was arrested for giving liquor to
Indians and sent three months to Jail.
Lately an officer learned that the mans
family were destitute and the release of
the poor farmer was secured. Punish
ment for such technical violation of the
law is contemplate and is inhuman when
the mans labor was necessary to keep
his family from want. There should be
such protest made against such prose-
cutions that Z. S. marshals would be
willing to forego the fee rather than defy
public sentiment. Or better yet, repeal
the law.

THE suit brought by Mrs. Hill against
Senator Sharon of California some time
ago eliminated in a most remarkable
affray at San Francisco lately. Judge
Field of the United States Supreme
Court, sitting with the Circuit and Dis
trict Judges of California, decided the
marriage contract a forgery. Mrs. Hill
who is now Mrs. Terry,-having married
her chief counsel in the case, a former
Judge of the Suprer1 Court of California
-sprang to her feet and charged Judge
Field with having been bribed to decide
against her. When told to sit down she
became violently profane and abusive
The marshal attempted to arrest her and
was knocked down by her husband. She
was locked up and her husband being
denied admission to her drew a large
knife and threatened to kill any one who
would bar his progress. The judges
sentenced Terry to six months confine-
ment in jail and his wife to 80 days.

The manufacturers of Massachusetts
are bestirring themselves In the interests
of protection. One wealthy manufac-
turer has contributed $4,000 for the re-
publican campaign fund and it is thought
that one million dollars Will be realized
from this source. The money is to be
used in New York, Indiana, Connecticut
and New Jersey.
Does 1t not seem singular that these
manufacturers would contribute so large
ly to keep up the tariff which is solely
designed to enable them to pay higher
wages? Would they contribute so lib
orally if the money was to go directly to
the laborer? How does it come that thew
are able to donate so large an amount
for the benefit of the American laborer
when the larger share of their profits, on
their own showing, go to the laborers,
and there is left to them only small per
cent. on their investments? Why have
not the manufacturers OF Massachusetts,
who can raise 100000 for the repubh-
can party to be expended by the party
leaders in protecting American labor,
added the amount to the fund from
which labor was paid the last year? Their
motive would not then be doubted.

SENATOR EDMUNDs boldly announces
that it is the purpose of the republican
party to remove the tax from whiskey
and makes an attempt to prove that the
tax is a burden and an annoyance to the
people. The whiskey trust is made pos
sible by the tax on the article, he says.
Well, who cares. Let the price of
whiskey go up and let few have mo-
nopoly of the business. The higher the
price the better; the fewer engaged in It's
manufacture the better. Bu5 isn't it
little inconsistent to argue that the tax
on whiskey makes whiskey trusts pos
sible while insisting that the tax on ne
cessaries has no effect in producing trusts
IN these articles?
