ONE OF THEM ELIGIBLE.
A Notary Public 10 the Only Omcer WIN
Can he Register.

A Notary Public is the Only 0mcer who
Can he Register.
Attorney General Haskell has received a
letter from Barclay Jones. clerk of Madison
county, asking for ruling on the question
"a to what public officers are eligible also to
be registers Of election. Part of clause 2
Of the law relating to registers specially
provides that mo person, a candidate fol.
or who holds territorial, county or other
Office shall be eligible to, or hold the ofioe
Of register Of elections." The question has
arisen in Madison county a. to how far this
prohibition goes, and whether it includes
notaries public, postmasters, clerks of
school boards and similar officers. The at.
torney general wrote reply in which he
said that of those mentioned tho notaries
public were the only ones who we're eligible
to be registers of election. Their eligible
ity was based on the fact that they were
not executive officers. and their time was
entirely at their own disposal. with
postmasters the case is different. The
government requires its postmasters to be
ready at all times to the business of their
Offices. The state requires the same of its
registers of election. One cannot keep a
man waiting when he wants to get letter
registered. The other cannot keep a man
waiting when he wants to become a regis.
holds, the two duties would conAct. The
same is held to be true of clerks Of school
boards and similar officers, whose duties
are liable to call them off at the very time
that the work of registration would be in
progress. The letter Of inquiry does not
mention what particular case brought up
the question In Madison county.

Recent Events Leave the Next Legislature
Out in the Cold.
There is Just possibility that when the
Legislature meets next winter it may not
have where to lay their heads''-or rather
their heels, The quarters at the court house
in which the senate met last winter are nc
longer at its disposal. They have been
rented to the government for the use OF the
United States court. The room where the
house of representatives met has since been
occupied by the district court. The room
is now being kalsomined and the court will
60 back as soon AZ the work is done. Judge
Hunts object to being moved. Az for the
meeting place of the rump house it has
dissolved in smoke. It will be difficult
matter to secure accommodations suitable
for the senate and house and COMMITTEES
rooms as we'll. in one building in Helena.
In case of necessity it has been suggested
that the Legislature meet out ON the court
house lawn, where the game of freeze-out
could be played to greater advantage than
in steam heated edifice.

Husbandman: Articles of incorporation
have recently been fled for the Yogo Min
ing and Reduction company by John Por-
ter, Louis Heitman, Max Waterman, Louis
Pepin and J. NJ. Geroux. The capital stock
is 1000 divided into 100000 shares, the
par value Of which is one dollar each. The
company has two claims locsted at Yogo,
one on Middle Fork and one on Wolf creek.
These are principally gold bearing. One, q
six foot lead, assays "a high as $12l per ton.
Another, large deposit, assays $16 in gold
and five ounces in silver, and one of the
gold and silver, also lead Of lead and sill
yer, about Is per cent in lead being the
average. The first block of $4,000 shares
will be sold for less than 10 cents per share,
but the price will soon double.
i The up-raise in the Florence mine at Mel
Monday. A fine lot of ore has been taken
out in performing the work. It ID now pro-
posed to push the lower tunnel ON to the
end OF the upper tunnel and make another
up-raiso. There was full one foot of high
grade orc In the up-raise Just finished, but
the streak widens 70 three feet in the upper
tunnel and this will probably be the width
of the pay streak in the lower tannel when
it IL in the same distance. There is brisk
demand for Florence stock and the finances
of the company are in excellent shape.
The Hidden Treasure shows up about
twenty-eight inches Of high grade carbon
ates regularly in place.
The ore shute in the Legal Tender con-
tinues 10 hold out and there is probably
twenty tons of high grade carbonates on
the dump ct this writing.
Great Falls Tribune: Sweeney and
Walsh have been sinking ON the disputed
land in the heart of the town of Neihart,
their intention being to run drifts on the
shaft to strike a lead. Monday they were
rewarded by striking a lead in the bottom
of the shaft. They followed this down and
stuck vein of about "a inches of galena
ore mixed with sulphurets. The ore is pro-
nounoed BY old miners to be very rich.
This discovery is conclusive proof that the
veins cross the valley and may be found on
the south side Of the creek II the prospeo-

Another Great Falls Excursion.
II Passenger Agent Hubbard, of the Mon

the puplic one more of those popular excur.
sions to Great Falls and the round trap fare
will be only $500. The special train will
leave here at 9:l5 a. m. and will arrive al
Great Falls at 1880.
As special inducement on this occasion
it is announced that the train will carry
passengers without extra charge along the
smelter extension, thus giving splendid
view Of the Giant spring, big dam, Rainbow
and Black Eagle falls.
Only first class coaches will be provided,
and this will probably be the last Sunday
excursion to Great Falls this season.

There was another appreciative audience
at Ming's last night to sDjoy the features
of this combination. The illustrated tour
around the world with its remarkable
mechanical effects ID something wonderful
and is intensely interesting. The canine
part of the performance ID very attractive.
The children, especially. vote it to be the
best thing that ever came to town and will
no doubt crowd the house this afternoon at
the matinee. Dash, Dan. Rice and Curley,
the clowns, cause the young folks to emit
shrieks of laughter while Punch, the only

them q chorus Of wonder and surprise.
There will also be another performance this
evening which ends the engagement.

The Southern Crosa

The Southern Cross is coming to the
front again. Since Superintendent Davis
took charge of the Cameron mill the returns
have been much better than at any time be-
fore, says the Anaconda Review. The
present months run will probably show an
increase Of at least 20 per cent. in the
amount of gold saved. The mine is being
worked as extensively as possible and ten
stamps are falling steadily ON the higher
grade ore. The need of smelter is felt
more than ever in this district as much Of
the ore is SO heavy with iron that it can not
be successfully milled. With q smelter in
the vicinity of the mines or with railway
transportation for the ore, the success Of
this district is assured.

The Great Northern.

Chief Engineer Becker, of the Great
Northern, is expected to arrive in Seattle
any time, says the Press. He is now and
has been for the past week in the Cascade
mountains. He, accompanied by number
of surveyors and engineers, approached the
mountains from the eastern side. Just
where they are it cannot be ascertained at
the present time, but Great Northern enRi-
neers are reported to have been seen going
toward the Cady pass. This in connection
the company is working up the Wenatchee
river ia suggested that the Cady pass has
probably been or is about to be decided up
on az the pass through which the Great
Northern will build its transcontinental
line. The officials of the company in this
in which Engineer Becker is or else they
are exceedingly reticent on the subject.
This attempt at secrecy is probably for the
purpose of evading anticipation in the
selection of pass on the part of specula-
tors.

About the Gentler Sex.

Several gentlemen were discussing
the question: What do women like best
to do?
"To get married" said one.
"To be in love-" said another.
"They would rather dance" remarked
a fourth.
"What's the matter with putting on
fnery?"
shopping" suggested a fifth.
An elderly gentleman finally re-
marked: 1.-THE female sex like all the
things you have mentioned, but my ex-
perience teaches me there is one thing
they prefer over all, and that is to boss
the shanty.'"
"Kerrect!" replied the others, in
chorus.-Texas Siftings.

New Gas Invention.


The Pittsburgh Dispatch describes
new invention by Mr.. William Root
which promises important results.
It consists of the combination of all
with the gas as it issues from the
burner. The experiment made was
with a small revolving fan on the same
shaft that runs the other machinery. A
pipe from this connected from beneath
with a glory hole and ran up to the
center of the burner. Heretofore it has
required the valve wheel on the gas
supply pipe to be turned once and a
half around to supply enough pressure
for the glory hole, but when the air
was turned on the wheel only required
to be moved one-fourth inch. The
usual pressure to a glory hole is one
ounce, while in this case the pressure
was a very small fraction of this
amount.
Mr.. Root said that by putting the air
in all the burners the pressure in the
factory could be reduced to three ounces
where sixteen to twenty are now re-
Quired.
