TIE suicide of the wretch Pigott at
Madrid is the logical outcome of his
exceptional career of crime. Convicted
OF blackmail, forgery, perjury, and OF
playing the traitor even to those whom
he was profes sing to serve, and of do
ing it all for money, having confessed
that he was guilty of every crime
charged against him, and having
branded his own forehead with his in
famous record, what was lett for him
to do but blow off the head that could
conceive and harbor so much infamy?
History fails to record a more despi-
cable or diabolical character. Most
criminals have some redeeming quality.
This man had none. Having MUIR
dered his own character, his own in
tegrity and self-respect, what better
could he do than to murder himself?
If the argument for total depravity
needs any illustration in future, it al
ways will be found in this man Pigott.

Thought to be Suppressed.
An Effort to be Made Some Time This
Week to Ascertain
Ihe Condition Of the Anaconda Mine
and the Danger.
Earthquake in New Hampshire Gives
Scare.
After the Fire,

BUTTE, Dec. 3.-Matters about the St.
Lawrence and Anaconda mines remain in
the same condition that they have
been during the last four or five DAYS.
Steam is still being forced into the works
and the shafts are kept sealed. From
what should be a reliable source it is
learned that an effort will probably he
made sometime during the latter part of
the present week, to open the two shafts
and il possible an examination of tn
workings of both the St. Lawrence and
the Anaconda.
In the meantime it is understood that
the management intends to erect a box
shaft on the St. Lawrence, forty or fifty
feet higher than the Anaconda, in order
| to create draft sufficiently strong to ex-
pei all gas and smoke that may remain
in the mine.
Should it be found that the fire has
been suppressed by this immense suction
it is thought that the Anaconda can be
cleared and even if the fire should still
exist in the st. Lawrence, it would he
prevented from advancing into the Ana
conda. 1t is confidently expected that
the fire has been suppressed and that
when examination is made, it will be
found that the actual damage done is not
as serious in its results as was at first an

My next call was at the head of Lime
Kiln canyon, where Messrs. McLeland &
Mcmillan are located. They are stock
men from Dakota and for new comers
they have done well as far as improve
ments are concerned. They have put up
a large amount of hay and are we'll fixed,
surrounded by timber and big bluffs,

The men were away to Great Falls to re-
ceive shipment of 100 head of cattle.
My next point was the head waters of
Big Otter where it has been settled for
years. There J. found good crops had
been harvested and the ranchmen happy,
as everything about their homes showed
thrift and improvement indicating-we

AS evening came on I found myself at
the house of Emanuel Nebel at the base
of Barker trail Mr.. Nebel was at work
on his barn 40x60, to take the place of
the one destroyed by fire when the whole
family fled to Kibby for their lives. The
fire has left its marks but MIR Nebel is
not the man to give up for one fire. His
crops were good, his potatoes yielded a
large return and he finds good home
market in Barker for all he has to spare
at two cents per pound. He contem-
plates putting in the ground in the spring
1000 pounds. Harry Jones, Peter We'll
com, George Maures, Frank Servoss and
Chambers & Sons all show that they have
been rustling the past season by the
marked Improvements on every hand.

whose place is known as the Fisher

The Inter Mountain thusly replies to
the Miners charge that Mr. Carter is a
paid agent of the N P. railroad:
But the Miner is getting too ridiculous
Its latest discovery is that Tom Carter is
paid agent of the Northern Pacific
though every man in Montana, outside of
the Miner office knows that the excellent
Sam Hauser and his friends alone con-
troll the Northern Pacific vote in this
state as they always have done and that
in 1886 Joe Toole carried every precinct
on the line, except one, from Glendive to
Thomson Falls. Furthermore the letter
Mr.. Carter sent to Mr.. Mantle and which
the latter read to the convention shows
where the Montana congressman stands
and that he is ready to fight thee mineral

and nobody denies that the Northern

defeat him for congress on October /.
