tainly with the smeter completed az
ReVelstroke and railroad facilities for
reaching there, there will be a saving OF
$50 per ton as compared with present
rates to Helena. There will then
be no occasion, in fact it would be folly
fo- the miners of thisr region to seek
market for thei OUTPUT in
the United States. The swim con.
clusion is easily reached that this
duty on II silver-lead ore as levied in the
United States, begins to operate as an
incentive to railroad building and the
erection of smelters among our neigh.
bors in British Columbia, and that con-
sequently the value of mining prors =
ties will be enhanced, their productive
excess will be stimulated and ores which
are now regarded as being of low grade
will reach the smelter and the market at
q profit TO their owners. There is a fine
field in the district here described for the
American prospoctor and capitalist, and
both have already shown their good
judgment in drifting there.

the room, at least half of whom were

WILMINGTON, Del, May Is, 1899
To the Inspectors Of the City Election:
Through carelessness on the part of
some voters applications for registry are
sometimes made in the wrong district.
If the fact is not discovered before the
close of the last day Of registration it
will necessarily lead to a loss of the right
to vote by such person-it being unlaw-
full to receive his vote in any district in
which he is not resident, or in his own
district because his name will not be
registered there. Inspectors are
requested to exercise all possi-
BILE care to prevent such errors,
and if any are discovered in time to send
for the person and mark his tax receipt
Registered in error in ~ District
- War" and sign their names to the
statement then the receipt can be used
by the voter for registration in the proper
district
This department now has a telephone,
No 397; if any delays in opening the
polls should for any cause occur, or any
information is needed at any time, in.
spectors are requested to communicate
with the department through the tele.
phone nearest their polling place.

New Capital Aspirant.

This Office is in receipt of a printed
circular from Hot Springs, announcing
the somewhat startling fact Of the citi-
sens of that place becoming aroused to
the fact, that should a dark horse be
chosen for the future capital of South
Dakota, that they can offer inducements
superior TO any point yet named"
1t is further announced that "for this
purpose they will donate $40 acres of
land Immediately adjoining the Springs
and Soldier Home Park that cannot be
excelled for beauty anywhere in the
United States" The advantages offered
at Hot Springs for capitol location are
elaborately described, and her geo.
graphical location in the extreme south
western corner of the state made to APP
pear a matter of the most trifiing i'm
port.
The Chronicle comedies that the
claims made by Hot Springs are strong
and undeniable, and can only regret
that they we're not presented earlier in
the race before Pierre had so
perfectly adjusted her plans for the
picking of the capital plum. as to place
the prize beyond the reach of not only
the great sanitarium with her transcen-
dent advantages, but all other aspiring
towns.

Wants It Officially.

The New York Financial and Mining
Record expresses desire to be assured
beyond contradiction" of the fact of the
Harvey Peak Tin Mining company hay
ing more than 800 men in their employ,
and asserts its willingness to publish,
free Of charge, detailed (ofiicial) state
ment Of the precise number of men
employed respectively at the several
mines now being operated by the COM
pany.
1t is scarcely probable that the COM
pany will submit such a statement
merely for the purpose Of convincing
the Record of the truth of CHRONICLE
statements. 1t appears to US a trifie
strange that the Record should be so
exacting as to require an official state
ment of the number of men employed
by this particular company, when it so
freely publishes corresponding items of
mining news concerning other COM
panies without apparent distrust. Pos
sibly the Record can explain.

EDITOR CHRRoNICLR The original
owners of the Montana mine, gave a
ball and supper in Rockford last Friday
evening. Old timers say il eclipsed any
thing of the kind ever before held in
Rockford. Silver City and Lookout

nished at the Shepherd and Owen
houses. and was all that could be desir-
ed. DIR. zimmerman and Hugh Nc
Lehman, as floor managers, filed their
positions like professors.
Quite force are at work at the Mon
tana mine, putting up cabins, and get
ting ready to accommodate the large
force that Mr.. Smith is expected to put
on as soon as he arrives. A dwelling is
being erected for Mr.. Smith, 40x40, en-
tirely of logs, build to represent a min
ers' cabin, but from all accounts, the
deception will not go beyond the door.
4. b. Chapman. accompanied by Mr..
Green, of st. Louis. was in town yester-
day. Mr.. Chapman talks of putting
some concentrators in the Standby mill.
The mill is shut down just now, but
