THE TIMBER SUITS.

The Miners Lumber Company Have No
Heard of Any Against Them - MIR
Eaycock is Not Connected With tho
. Company The Anaconda's Timber
Contracts.
\ representative OF The MINER called at
Ethe Miners Lumber %Company's Office yes
terday to ascertain the facts OF the suit
reported to have been brought by the
Government against a member OF that
company, for illegally cutting and appro-
briating timber on public lands. 1t was
EARNED that Mr.. Haycock, the gentleman
b question, has nothing to do with the
kbove company, but is engaged in lumber
)ng on his own account. and he has con-
tracts with the Anaconda Company for
Iii his product. All the timber he has
hut for some months past. wal cut on
|Rnds OF settlers in::the Bitter Root u
Hry, to whom he pays s%tumpage. The
Miners Lumber Company have not heard
any suits against them, and do moi ex-
beet any, as they have cut timber for
home consumption only, and claim that
Bhcy have not transgressed the laws in
W doing. 1t was further learned
bat Mr.. VIM. Thompson's mill at
Thompson Falls is now about COM
tlettd, and ready for operation. The
6uare timber from his mill will be all
bipped 10 the Anaconda mine. The Ana

LOU LOU.

A French Trapper Whose Name is Per.
petuated in the Bitter Root Country
His Lonely Grave On the Mountain
Side.
It il singular that the Missoula papers,
and many people in the vicinity OF the Lou
Lou Fork of the Bitter Root, persist in
calling it the "Lo Lo." The Lou Lou Fork,
Mount Lou Lou, Lou Lou Pass and Lou
Ions Grave, were all named from q French
trapper, who frequsntsd thosesparts many
years ago. He was looked up to by his
Flathead friends as a great chief, and when
he died they buried him on the side OF q
steep hill, Just above the mouth OF Grave
Creek, which puts into the Lou Lou twenty
miles above its mouth. The grave is close
to the old Nez Percez trail :.and is marked
by a pile of stones which the Indians have
taken care of until quite recently. Lou
Louis Grave is marked on some OF the old
maps OF Montana. 1t is said that when
General Howard wasfollowing Chief Joseph
and his people down the Lou Lou, he spent
a week in prayer at the grav OF the old
trapper, and the Indians quietly climbed
over the hills to the north, while the Bitter
Root people were watching for them at
Fort Fizzle. fou r miles above the mouth
of the Lou Lou. Just across the divide
from the head Of the Lou Lou, the Lo Lo
Fork of the Clearwater takes it's source,
and runs westward. Lo 10 is a Chinook
word, meaning ito carry" and therefore
has a very different origin from the name
Lou Lou.

HIMSELF TO BLAME.

In his speech before the Home Market
Club the other evening Senator Sherman,
among other matters, referred to the sur
plus in the Treasury, and asked: "But
why is not this surplus applied to the pay
ment or purchase OF the public debt?
Whose fault is it that it accumulates in the
Treasury" Had the 3 per cent. funding
bill proposed by the Democrats not been
defeated by sherman's efforts in the Sen
ate in 1881, the surplus would have been
applicable to reducing the debt without in
.terruption. But the demand for a lower
rate of interest than was then being paid
by the Government, and which Mr.. Sher-
man, as the friend of the Wall street
clique, was anxious to retain at as high a
figure as possible, was too strong to be
denied, and Mr.. Sherman, as Secretary
OF the Treasury under Garfield in
March, 1881, introduced a 3 per
cent. bill OF his own, which was &C.
copied as a measure OF justice.
But in it he took care of the interests OF his
clients, the money kings OF Wall street, and
deliberately planned that there should be
an interval OF six years after the Window
bouds were due in June, 1886, during
which no bonds could be called in. What
ever the Secretary OF the Treasury called in
since then a premium had to be paid for.
This was Mr.. Sherman's own arrangement.
He would be only too glad to SEQ his
friends paid a high premium to surrender
bonds not due for some years yet. He
himself made.the.situation and yet he bland
ly asks why the calling in and purchase of
bonds does not continue as of old. When
the bonds can be called in and purchased
at the price,which the Government received
for,them the Treasury will have no idle sur.
plus on hand, but until then it will be
better not to lave any surplus at all.

THE SALT QUESTION.
How h Northern Pacific May Lower the
Cost of Salt-The Salt Wells Of NIlchi-
StOne.

How the Northern Pacific May Lower the
Cost of Salt-The Salt Wells of nIlchi-
gan. the Black Hills and the Yellow
stone.
It is the opinion OF business men who
have taken the matter under consideration
that when the short cut through Pipestone
Pass is completed, the Northern Pacific
may come to the rescue of Butte in the
way of furnishing salt at lower prices than
now rule. The Michigan salt producers
claim to have great advantages over all
others in very rich brines and large lumber
mills close by, thus securing slabs, pine
sawdust, and waste steam at no cost, as
the salt wells and saw mills are worked by
the same companies. During 1886 there
were a number of new salt blocks erected,
and a new process Of manufacture reduced,
In this process coal was used for fuel. and
experiment proved that the coast OF coal,
which was the chief expense in manufacture,
was only 13h cents per barrel. The average
selling price of regular grained salt in 1886,
was sc cents per barrel Of 8 pounds; or
81. 65 per ton. This included the salt made
by the old, expensive processes. By the
new process the quality OF salt required by
the reduction works could be turned out at
such a low cost that it could be sold profit
IDLY at SD per ton, OF even less. The
Northern Pacific has carried wheat from
Walla Walla to Minneapolis, a distance OF
/ ,712 miles, for So per ton. On the same
basis it could haul salt from Duluth to
Butte, through the Pipestone Pass for SIS
per ton, and q rate OF 81 per ton could un-
doubtedly be made to cover the short dis
lance, by rail or water, from Manistee to
Duluth. This would land salt at Butte for
$40 per ton, and the Northern Pacific
could well afford to cut the tariff on salt
very fine, in view of the enormous increase
of freights going east that would result
from the reduced cost OF salt at this point.
But before long it will be possible to obtain
salt much nearer at hand. AtJenny's Stock.
AIDE, Dakota, there is abundance OF brine
rom which salt has been made to furnish |
the towns in the Black Hills. Before long
that place will be connected with Butte by |
about 700 miles of rail. and the salt ques-
zion will be somewhat simplifed. The
United States Geological Survey reports
salt springs in the Yellowstone
which no effort has been made to
Utilize. There is a good opening for some
capitalists to locate the Vel
owstone salt springs. which will range
rom It's to 800 miles from Butte by rail,
