A Deposit of Ivory Found in the sierras

A Deposit of Ivory Found in the Sierras.
George Williams, the noted Comstock
miner. nimrod and fish historian, who first
attained celebrity as the slayer OF the fy-
ing snake of Sutro Springs, has recently re.
turned from a hunting trip in the Sierras,
bringing with him two huge ivory tusks,
which evidently belonged TO q race of
mammoth p~achyderms once inhabiting
that region. Mr.. Williams says he can
collect a wagon load OF ivory in the vicini-

turn in a few days with a team for that

l said, these men are men OF integrity and
honesty, and the assessors returns In the
county OF Silver Bow will show that they
have made q fair and equitable return
upon their property.
Hence, | am in favor Of adopting the re.
port oil the COMMITTEES. That seems to me
to be q just and fair proposition.
Four years ago, when the Representatives
OF the people Of this territory met in this
city to frame q constitution, thissamesub-
iect was discussed. There were men in thst
convention, men Of ability, shrewdness and
acquaintance or familiarity with public Of.
fairs, who stood upon the floor OF that
convention and denounced this very
measure as an unfair, yea,
an infamous proposition. / have
talked with these same gentlemen not later
than q week ago; and one, . lawyer in this
territory, who is honest and qualified to
judge Of these things, after having expert.
ence with it as he has had since, has stated
to me that while in the former constitu-
ton he believed it was unjust and unfair,
that, having seen the workings of the sys-
tenn OF this territory, he was led to the CON
able method OF arriving at the taxation Of
the mining interests OF this country.
So, I say to you. gentlemen, to whom it
may seem an unfair and unjust discrimina-
ton in favor OF this industry, that il you
will study 1t as we have done, that you can
arrive at no other conclusion than that it
is the only method whereby the state can
secure from this specie Of property q rea-
sonable and just revenue, and at the
same time protect those men, those
brave pioneers who have come out
ness blossom as the rose, and opened
up these gleat mountains and brought their
hidden wealth to light; yea. l say, it is the
duty OF the members of this convention to
throw such safeguards around this industry
as are proper and just; in this great in.
dustry that is the foundation Of almost all
the prosperity Of this country; hisindustry
that has made possible the building OF rail-
roads into this country; that has made
this city Of Helena, Of which all Montanians
are proud; that has built the city OF Butte,
and has made all the valleys and noun.
tainR of Montana productive.
Isay, gentlemen. let us be cautious how
remove anything from the report Of
that is going to endanger or
in any way this great enduring
industry upon which our greatest hopes
are founded.
Marshal favored including churches as
taxable property.
Maginnis and Richards opposed this, |
and Marshall's amendment was lost.
MaRinnis moved to include hospitals as

proved to have been entirely incorrect.
Look around among us in the presence
OF mining men, and See how many OF them
have come to grief and ruin simply be-
cause Of a mistaken judgment in placing q
valuation upon q mine.
tell you that there ia another ground LOT
danger. II you allow q mine to be taxed
upon what is supposed to be the value OF
it, you place o weapon in the hands OF
every assessor in this territory toievy
blackmail upon every man who may rave
an interest in q mine :. !,
We know how sanguine was the spirit OF
the Forty .niuers." We know now anguine
every man is who may have an interest 10
this species Of property. we know tnere
are men all over this country VINO, wnen
they have a prospect, a mere hole IN Sns
ground, will tell you if you ask them wnat
value tbev place on that property, that 1t
is worth $iOO, 900, 100000 or $1,000
600. The very fact OF such declarations as
these will incite the assessor when hecomes
around to place such valuations upon
that prospect that the payment OF the
taxes for one year would bankrupt the
owner.
/ say again that the fluctuations OF the
valuation of these metals are another
fact which will disqualify any one from
placing a proper valuation upon mining
property. We have seen it only q lew
years ago that the price OF copper was
40 low that almost all the mines n the
Rocky Mountain country we're closed
down, and il we do not mistake, the lfidi,
cations are that the markets OF the worio
to-day point to a worse condition OF
things that is about to visit the mining
industry, 30 far as copper is concerned.
We see silver to-day at 81 cents an ounce.
There are a great many silver mines in
this territory, it is true, that are appar-
emily productive, and are enabled to 60 on.
But, while this is the case, there are one
hundred Of them standing idle because
silver is low, that a few years ago we're

GEN. wEAVER'S ADVICE.
He Tells the Disappointed Boomers to
Settle in the Cherokee Strip.

Gen. James B. Weaver, ex-Representative
from Iowa. addressed a mass-meeting composed
mostly of disappointed boomers, at Guthrie,
Oklahoma, yesterday afternoon. He advised
them to move into the Cherokee Strip, break
land, and begin other permanent improve
ments. The soldiers" he said, twill come to
drive you out. and when they do you can lay
down your shovels and ploughs and say: L
bow to the majesty of the law but you must
also say before you resign the land of your
choice: Il will leave the Cherokee Strip when
the cattlemen GO They have no rights there"
Gen. Weaver added that President Cleveland
encouraged ali their Improvement. and If the
United States military had not been swayed by
political forces, the strip would have been free
OF cattle barOns and open TO white settlers to-
day. The ex-cOngressman's words were re-
celved with cheers. and hundreds of men are
leaving Oklahoma to follow his advice. 1t is
estimated that 3. 900 homesteaders have broken
soil in the strip. Three companies of cavalry
are now out scouting with orders to remove
them TO Kansas and Oklahoma.
Remarkable good order continues to be pre-
served at Guthrie. No whisky can be boug ht.
Provisions continue scarce. Bread is selling at
10 cents a loaf for scent lOaves. Crackers sell
at Sl.50 pound. The supply of both was
pretty well exhausted yesterday.
The Inconvenience caused by the blockade of
freight here is beyond computation 1t gets
worse instead of better. The freight express.
and baggage increase with each train, and lack
OF help prevents a prompt distribution. The
water question continues serious one. Before
the end OF the week wells will be sunk.

VERY PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.
The Sort of Ladies They Have in Ne
braSka.

From the Nebraska State Journal
see that some hypochrondriac mas written
letter to the papers protesting against the
vigorous exercise now INDUCED in by Young
women, claiming that it gives them hands like
those of hired men and partially destroys the
beautiful outlines of their persons so deeply
admired by men. He goes on TO say that when
fellow wants a wife he doesn't look or ask for
such accomplishments as the ability to ride a
fiery horse, drive in a tack with a rifle ball. row
boat, or be specialist in any acrobatc games.
