WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-There is little
or no excitement attending of the fifty
first congress on the senate side. Public

the new states. They had seats assigned
them on the republican side. Senator
Casey of North Dakota, took a seat on
the end of the second row, against the
north wall Directly behind him sat the
W asrrnsoon senaVofs, nIIen'an Squire,

Wolf Creek Country,

The following description of the prom
ising properties in the Wolf creek dis
trlct we take from the Mining Review:
sunf1ower, Copper Queen, Copper King
and Tiger lodes are located at Wolf creek
and are owned by s. G. Hudson, J. A.
Hudson and Frank Reinolds. On the
sunfiower there is a tunnel 1870 feet long
and winze has been sunk fifty feet at
the head OF it, making the depth obtain
ed from the surface 1870 feet. The vein
will average two feet in width. The vein
assays, on an average, $50 gold and silver
and 10 per cent copper.
The Copper Queen has a seventy foot
tunnel and twenty-five foot shaft. The
vein in the bottom of the shaft is about
five feet wide. The tunnel tapped the
vein in forty-fve feet, but it was only
two feet wide. The ore averages SIS
gold and silver and fifteen per cent COP
per.
On the Copper King there is shaft
thirty-five feet deep and the vein runs
from five to seven feet in width. An
average sample of the dump went $25
gold, $40 silver and ten per cent copper.
The tunnel on the tiger lode is thirty
fee. in, and in the surfacesof it there is
quartz ten feet wide that will run about
$50 per ton, n,carrying gold, silver and cop
per.
The above named lodes are located
from one to one and half miles south
west of the Wolf Creek station. They
are so situated that tunnels can be run
that will tap the leads from about 800 to
1000 feet in depth.
The Champion lode is owned by Messrs.
Brow and Bisonett and is developed by a
tunnel, which is in about 800 feet. The
vein is about ten feet wide but is some
what mixed. There are about 100 tons
of first-class ore on the dump which will
run S53 in gold and silver, twelve per
cent copper and eight per cent lead.

gold silver and copper.
The Big Groupings lode is owned by
Jack Ackerley. There are two veins OIL
this location, both of which can be devel
oped by the same tunnel. One of the
veins is eight inches wide and the ore
averages 5000 per ton, silver and gold
Some specimens have assayed as high al
$1,000 per ton. The second vein has no
been tapped by the tunnel yet, which il
now in about 800 feet, but at the bottom
of fifty foot shaft it is three feet wide
The ore is not as high grade as that o
the smaller lead, assaying only $40.

of some of the furnaces would be newt
able. The management of the works
however, saw the approaching difficulty
in time to preclude the possibility of a
loss of time and ordered enough Sand
Coulee coal to tide over the present mad
equate supply from Rock Springs. If it
were necessary to do SO, the works would
run on Sand Coulee coal alone providing
the mines there are able to meet the de-
mand which would be made upon them
in case the Rock Springs mines should
fail to furnish the works with fuel.
Another item has been going the rounds
Of the state press to the effect that the
Boston and Montana would erect large
brick building at the corner of Utah and
Granite streets, on the site of the burned
Bowes building, for the purpose of OPEN
ing savings bank therein. This
lot, it will be remembered, was purchased
by Leonard Lewisohn, one of the stock
holders in the Boston and Montana, only
a few days ago for $4,000. This purchase
1t is thought, caused the Helena Indepen-
dent to imagine it was for the Boston and
Montana company, and vague outlines of
savings bank began to float through the
sanctum. These outlines were placed in
print, which would not have been so bad
had not Superintendent COUGHS name
been placed alongside of las authority for
the item. In conversation with Miner
reporter yesterday Mr.. Couch started that
the property in question was not purchas-
ed for the Boston and Montana company;
that the company did not want savings
bank as it had no use for one, and that he
gave no such information to the Indepen-
dent. "It may be true" said MIR. Couch,
"that Michigan syndicate will establish
savings bank on that corner, but
Michigan syndicate and the Boston and
Montana Copper company are two dis
tinct corporations. Butte Miner.

The I3nstnn & Montana.

The Boston and Montana company's
works are running full handed in all de-
partments, notwithstanding the fact that
a report was circulated to the contrary a
few days ago. This report was no doubt
due to the fact that the company was not
receiving its usual amount of Rock Springs
coal, and that in consequence shut down

says the CAPITAL was incorrect in
its figures in it's article Of June 21st,
when we stated that it costs from
$3.50, 900 to $3.50, 600 in the past six
years to run the city. Let US see
how far we were out Of the way.
Treasurer Rehn's report to the cor
poration says: ssThe receipts during
the year sof 1885 were $50, 1926.
The disbursements $2s, S65.2S-
leaving balance in the treasury Of
S2,071.9 49," Now il we are incor.
rect, then the treasurer's report is
incorrect. If you multiply S2S, $685.
20 by six,it gives you the sum total
Of $173, 01.6e-instead OF $780,
600 to $l6O, OOOas we stated. TheAd-
certisef further says ssthat it would
have taken a levy Of $1.20 on the
500 for six years to raise this sum
Of money" Our contemporary
seems to haYe lost sight Of the items
Of 50, 900 a year received from the
county, the receipts from licenses
aud fines, etc. All the revenue
does not come from the levy. The
CAPITAL made no charges against
the present Board, or urged any
political change Of administration.
1t merely showed what it had cost
according to the treasurer's report
to run the city for one year-but if
we take the report of 1885 as our
basis it gives us SIS, 900 more than
our estimate. What are receipts
and disbursement but receipts and
expenses II the treasurer says
the receipts are $50, 900 and the ex-
penses are $2s. 900, that is plain
enough English for anybody to un-
derstand. Therefore how can we be
incorrect in our statement? Our
object was to arouse the property
holders and the business men to the
present dangerous and ruinons pol
icy Of our city government-how
nnwise it is to the interest of all
not only to show what it costs to run
the city and what the taxpayer re-
ceived in return, but to fix upon a
better plaza more economical plan.
We contend that the whole policy Of
our city government is wrong. We
must change our mode of financier-
ing if we hope to increase the value
Of our real estate and enhance the
business interests Of our city, and
in order to do this, we must have
i new charter. The city government
should be run on purely business
principles. A special levy should
he made for everything as it is done
in other cities, and it should not be
applied for any other purpose. Take
for example Hagerstown, with its
five banks, its half dozen aud more
manufactures, and with double the
area Of Annapolis, and five times the
business. We find that the levy for
that city Is only IA cents on the
500, divided a. follows

Undisputed Merit.

The great success of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform in quality and
of the highest leavening power. All
the scientific knowledge, care and skill
attained by twenty years practical
experience are contributed toward this
end, and no pharmaceutical prepara-
ton can be dispensed with a greater
accuracy, precision. and exactness.
Every article used is absolutely pure.
A number of chemists are employed to
test the strength of each Ingredient. SO
that its exact power and effect in COM
bination with its co-ingredients is def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is EMPLOYED in
the preparation of the materials used
or the manufacture of the powder who
is not an expert in his particular branch
of the business. AS consequence. the
Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade OF excellence, always pure whole
some and uniform in quality. Each
box is exactly like every other, and
will retain its powers and produce the
same and the highest leavening effect
in any climate, at any time. The GOV
ernment chemists, after having anal
yzed all the principal brands in the
market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at the head of
the list for strength, purity and whole
someness, and thousands of tests all
over the country have further demon
strated the fact that its qualities are, in
every respect, unrivaled.
