who are sentenced do street work. The
streets need all the work that can pos.

1t is believed it would be an excellent

A Texas Mining Association Which En-
Ell PAso. August 1.-THE Southwestern
Mining association met at Ell Paso to-day
to take action on the Mexican ore question.
The association represents the whole min

cd the following resolutions:
Whereas, At the instance OF the lead
monopolies, a meeting of Colorado citizens
recently held at Denver, a project, which is
to prevent the Importation OF free lead
ores from Mexico and other countries, and
that resolutions to that end were adopted:
and,
Whereas, 1t is, the manifest aim OF these

Whereas, Such resolutions seek to break
down and destroy the smelling interests OF

OF fuxing ores essential to the smelling of

An Arrangement that " ill Facilitate he
Handling of Mail,

Inasmuch as there has b3en q great Geal
OF dissatisfaction ssed by many OF
our citizens in regard to the manner in
which affairs at the p~ostofiice lave been
managed lately, Mr.. Talent, postmaster,
called at this Office last night and asked
that THE MINER place before it's readers an
explanation of the causes which have in the
past been instrumental in causing the delay
OF the delivery OF mail matter.
In the first place it is, or should be cat
emit to every man, woman and child in
Butte hat the hole in the wall which the
Office now occupies is inadequate in size to
permit OF the proper handling CT the VOL
ume OF business now being donein this city.
Not only now, butt in the past has such been
the case. The postoffice department John
Wanamaker ct all is perfectly willing that
prompt and efficient service be rendered ia
all branches OF the service, but when asked
to put up a dollar that the people may be
benefited thereby, a great howl is the inevi.
table result.
Now. Mr.. Talent Las kicked go hard, so
long, so vigorous, and so u%ntiripg
that he has concluIed that it is
impossible to get the government (John
Wanamaker ct al.) to furnish hin, the
PROPER OOIS WIN Wnlcn 60 do the work.
and has started in to rectify the business
at his own expense. He has put in al
extra delivery window and changed the
boxes in such a way that it is less difficult
Tor the general delivery clerks, (of whom
there are now two-one fer each window !
to handle the mail. Under the Id system |
all letters addressed to persons whose |
names commenced with A went into one |
box, irrespective of the given name. For
instance, Andrew Allen and Bill Allen |
would go into the same box, which u~ecessi.
tated handling all the Aliens in creation |
in order to dig up Andrew. But
now Mr.. Talent has so arranged things that |
Andrew Allen belongs in one box and Bill
Allen in the one below it. The two divi.
sions OF the general delivery are divided an
that persons whose names commence anv.
where between "A" land including "An
and l. inclusive will get their mail at ono
window, while those whose names com.
mence between az" and ~" will GET theirs
the other. The arrangement is a vern
good one and the general belief is hat N
luture people will get their mail with mora
promptness. nN

Mr.. Carpenters declaration in conven-
ton, Saturday, that a man needed GAO
acres OF Montana land to live on, and
that he would starve on 16O, was as alb
surd as 1t was untrue. The man who
cannot live in Montana, or anywhere
else, on 100 acres Of arabic land, ought
to starve. And it is enough land, too,
for q single family.

Coming up the mountains from the head OF

large trees have been burned, and falling
have obstructed the road, making it diff.
cult to travel, and even dangerous. 1t a
literally a ride through fire for miles. The
Drush and trees were burning SO close to
tne road that on several occasions nv
buggy robe caught fire. The whole country
ls enveloped in a dense cloud OF smoke and
the traveller is almost suffocated in going
through it. Great quantities of valuable
lumber have been destroyed and some
ranch improvements.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOWL.

THE I'D HOWL.
While it may be a matter of regret that
everybody is not pleased with the full
work of the constitutional convention, it
was to be anticipated that opposition
would develop, particularly when the Do
litical majority showed the slightest in
dication, OF not throwing itself body
and soul into the hands of the opposi-
| ton. ..a
The opportunity to howl, however, was
so long deferred that the Republicans
were almost bursting with suppressed
emotion and amazement, and we're won
dering when they would be given a
chance to work off their pent-up feelings.
1t has now come. The decision to elect
county and township officers this fall,
was the long-deferred opportunity land
the Republicans are making the most
of it. From this on, the lamentations
and ~lugubrations will continue, uninter-
ruptedly.
This decision of the Democrats has not
been arrived at without mature consider.
alton, the pros and cons being well
weighed. 1t was found that the people
generally not only wished for a new cleo
ton, but would have been surprised had
none been ordered. Moreover, it was
found that the state machinery would
not WORK wall with torriforiol oppl;oron,
The state required one condition of af-
fairs, the territory another. A new cleo
tion was. therefore, found to be an i'm
perative necessity, after all the points
had been duly considered.
In this respect the decision is not a
party measure at all. 1t is a matter of
justice to the state. And it is to
regretted that the Republicans saw fit
TO put themselves in antagonism to a me-
SO paramount and clear.
