The law Of Montana declares that tn,
title to legislative seats must be evi
denced by certificates Of election issued
by the clerk and recorder for the county
which the claimant asks to represent,
As a sufficient number Of Republicans to
constitute a majority in the Legislature
do not hold such certificates, the gang
refuses to recognize the law. The law
seems to be all right when 1t doesn't
interfere with the purposes Of the gang,
but it seems to be all wrong when it
does interfere.

John Foerchinger, superintendent OF thu

day accompanied by q force OF men, who
will be put to work on the new shaft q tht
Gertie lode which belongs to the company
For the present work will be confined to
this one claim, on which q shaft 100 feet
deep will be sunk. As soon as the shaft il
finished q crosscut will be run and the vein
tapped, and q level driven to connect with
the workings in the west shaft. This west
shaft is the one from which ore was ex-
tracted and hauled to the Silver Bow
mill in 1880. The ore worked Melted the
owners good returns. The ore extracted

PA. Gamer returned yesterday from q
visit to the property and stated that the
new shaft was already down z feet on q
vein OF ore 80 inches in width and that
assays taken from the ore ran 80 ounces
in silver and $500 in gold. Mr.. Gamer
stated also that he explored the
workings in the west shaft and
had some of the ore assayed
by Carney & Hand OF this city, and that
the result was so ounces in silver, 81 in
gold, and ~ per cent. lead. It is stated
on good authority that the company in.
tends to erect q c~oncentrator at Schwa-
hacker creek early next spring. A good
water right has been secured by the COM
pany, and as the creek at the point where
the mill site has been selected has quite q
TALL, it is the intention Of the company to
run the concentration by means OF a tur.
bine wheel.
Several mining men have visited the
Gertie, ard SO far all have united in pro.
nounclng it the finest property in the Big
Hole basin.
After the two shafts have been connected
with each other it is thought that q body OF
ore will be opened up, in the event OF which
an effort will be made to list the stock on
the st. Louis b.ard. This will increase
the sale Of the stock, and funds will thus
be secured with which TO erect the concen.
