An old timer said yesterday: "Any
man who votes against Paris Gibson is
voting against his own interests. Mr..
Gibson has always paid the highest prices
and he must continue to do so. The pros
perity of Great Falls depends on the pros
perity of the laboring classes and in en-
couraging the laborers he is advancing
the interests OF the town."

been in the city for a day or two, closed

ing ten different leads. On one of them
II ten inch vein of rich galena ore has in
six or eight feet of work widened to two
and one-half feet Of solid galena with
every evidence of increasing IN width as
the work progresses. Mr.. Lessard is
highly elated over this find and is more
than ever convinced that Barker is one of
the greatest mining camps On earth.
DIR. D. B. Mccain of Neihart arrived
via Townsend and Helena yesterday. The
doctor bought a lot in Neihart and began
to build on it. He was arrested on the
charge of obstructing the public high
way, because the building extended across
the old road. At the hearing before
Judge Henry the doctor was cleared of
all blame, but he is in a quandary now
how to get satisfaction for the rough
stage rides to Townsend. He is feeling
all right, however, for he had the pleas
ure of attending the meeting of the state
medical association and while there re-
ceived a state certificate
George Washington Taylor, an Ameri-
canized Chinaman in all but naturaliza-
ton, is in the city from Choteau. George
came to Montana from the Celestial king
dom when but twelve years of age, and
was brought up by Hon j. f. Taylor, who
had his Chinese cognomen changed bv an
act of the territorial legislature. George
is now 29 years of age and has been in
the employ of the Sands Land and Cattle
company for over thirteen years. He is
fairly educated, an expert cowboy, an eX-
cellent cook and a handy and faithful
man around a ranch. He discarded his
pietail years ago and with it his chances
of going to the Chinese heaven. AL
though he Is looked upon by other China
men as a being to be stunned, his serenity
is not disturbed and he is anxious to be-
come a naturalized citizen. He will go to
Chicago with the train load of cattle to
be shipped Wednesday by the Sands
company.-Itiver Press.
