Silver, Lead and Conner,

The Sun River Sun says: 1t has been
known for several years that rich veins
of silver bearing quartz existed in the
mountains bordering the North Fork of
Sun river, rich float speciment of ore
having been found at various times, but
no attempt to prospect has been made
until recently, when Mr.. Phil Manix, of
Augusta, a gentleman we'll known
throughout Northern Montana for his
enterprise and integrity, equipped and
sent some practical prospectors into the
region where the float ore had been dis
covered.
The result of his venture has been the
discovery of several veins of copper ore,
and a very rich vein of galena near Trac-
eder's mill on the South Fork for Sun
river. The vein is five feet in width,
t~hree-fourths pure silver bearing galena,
and has been traced over 5000 feet from
the point of discovery. Expert miners
who have examined the ore estimate that
1t will run from 80 to 100 ounces in silver
to the ton. The formation where this
lode is situated Is of iron, slate and lime
the mine Is easy of access, and all the
materials for working it-wood, water,
etc CLOSE at hand.
The mountain where the discovery
was made lies in the great mineral belt
running through to Marysvllle, and it is
safe to say that is but the imitation of a
series of discoveries which will be of in
calculable importance and benefit to
northern Montana, particularly to that
portion of the country tributary to the
Sun river. The discovery of mines In
this locality at this time is very propl-
tious, as it will have a weighty influence
in determining the route Of the Great
Northern railroad, whose engineers are
at present surveying in the vicinity of the
South Fork. With the discovery of ex-
tensive and rich ore bodies in the o u
iains bordering Sun river, the great facil-
tiles already existing at Great Falls for
reducing the ores, the construction of a
line of railroad through the Sun river
valley would be assured, and bring with
it an era of development and prosperity be-
yond calculation,

"ORIGINAL

The point is well taken that q

states control over 'original packages
as soon as they have been delivered from
the railroad wagon. If a citizen has the
right to bring in merchandise he has the
implied right to make use of ito bring
it to his house or transfer it to his neigh
Dor.
1t is argued with much force that con
gress canno delegate its power to the

Tree trade among the states in liquors,
meat and general merchandise, it cannot
say to a state that it is at liberty to nullify

American citizens: If you send wine or
dressed meat into that state it will be
confiscated, because congress withdraws
all protection after the package has been
delivered at the railroad station
No attempt should be made to strain

States see fit to humor such states as
Maine and Iowa, let the concession be
made by Il constitutional amendment,

tain railroad extended promptly to both
Neihart and Barker. But as it is now
within from 10 to IA miles of these camps,
no miner ought to defer the develop
ment of his mine. We do not know as
yet the rates for ore to the Great Falls
smelter, but we are confident that they
will be low enough to give fair returns
on low grade ores, hauled from the mines
to Monarch. Of course, 1t would be
more convenient to have the track near
the mine, but there are many mines in
Montana, Colorado and the Ceur'd Alene
region which have to send ore by wagon
much farther than from Barker or Mel
hart to Monarch. If constant work Is as.
sured, freighters will soon be at hand in
number, to haul the ore from the mine to
the depot at reasonable rates. When the
mines become productive, capitalists will

JOHN V. FARwELL, the Chicago mer-
chant, writes to the Tribune of that CITY
in strong condemnation of the Mckinley
bill. He regards it as a grave mistake
that the republican leaders ever framed
such a bill. From our friends, good
Lord deliver us" says this veteran repuL-
llcan, who was prepared to accept a
moderate tariff with reasonable protec-
ton. Mr.. Farwell represents the opinion
OF many persons who are saying nothing,
but are waiting patiently for the fall
elections. They deem lt,profitless to ap-
peal to Mckinley and his supporters.
They will promote what Mr.. Farwell
calls a "political squall" that will drive
from power those who were elected to
reduce the burdens of the people and
have betrayed that trust.

THE copper industry continues to
thrive. In Boston, the chief market for
copper shares, prices have advanced for
both Butte and Lake Superior securities.
Boston & Montana has advanced steadily
from 1853 to 591a and is expected to 20
higher. Good reports have also been re-
ceived Of the Butte & Montana, whose
shares have advanced to ass. Calumet
q Hecla continues to advance and has
touched 1910. Tamarack, another Lake
Superior company, has advanced from
$1s5 to $685., the highest point on re-
cord. From Lake Superior comes news
that work is to be resumed at old mines
which did not pay formerly. As lake
brands of copper sell for Is cents per
pound, the lnducement is strong to pro-
duce more copper.

WILBUR F. SANDERS bill to declare
that all patented land acquired by the
Northern Pacific shall not include min
eral land would not provide the relief
which Montana miners demand. The
proposed law would unsettle the titles of
land acquired by actual settlers from
the Northern Pacific. 1t would give the
Northern Pacific full control of the lands
until they were proved mineral. A that
control would suffice to prevent miners
from sinking Shafts or opening tunnels,
it would be difficult for them to prove
that the land was mineral. What Mon
a n miners need is a broad, liberal de-
claration on the part of congress that the
mountain lands in the Northern Pacific
belt are mineral and not included In the
grant. Any compensation to which the
Pacific is entitled should be
given, but all uncertainty regarding our
mineral lands should he removed
.speedily.

SQUANDERING PUBLIC MONEY.

President Cleveland came into office in
1886 and began to recommend and carry
out that economy for which his New
York governorship was noted. When
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1886, the
good effects of his careful policy were
seen in al excess Tin round numbers) of
nearly $9O,O0O,O00 In 1887 the surplus
was $1O3, 100000. In 1883 it had increased
to $111, 100000. Mr.. Harrison who came
into power last year, found the finances
In such good condition that for the fiscal
year which ended June 80, 1880, the sur
plus was 1857, 100000.
President Cleveland asked congress to
reduce the surplus by reducing taxation,
but 1t refused to do so and the question
went to the country. In the campaign
which ensued the republicans so preyed
on the fears of manufacturers and work
people that they acquired a small major
ity in the house of representatives, which
they have increased by the unjust ex.
pulsion of democratic members whose
seats were contested.
Mark the result. Congressman Cannon,
a strong republican and chairman of the
committee on appropriations, announces
that the surplus is entirely wiped out,
not by reduced taxation but by excessive
expenditures. The appropriations are
already $5,000,000 in excess of the est
mated receipts for the mex fiscal year.
The expenditures amount to the enor-
NOUS sum of $455,00O, 1000. Other sums
such as the miscellaneous %appropria-
tions" and the 'public building bills"
may be added, that will swell the ex-
pendltures to $547, 000, 600, leaving a de-
%tciency Of $97, 100000. All this is ex-
elusive of the dependent pension bill
passed by the senate, which if passed by
the house will add 100000 900 to the
public burdens!
These statements which, as we have
said come from republican authority,
may we'll astonish the country. They

least pretext for excessive disbursements,

ton have Joined hands to promote Grim.

WHEN this congress has closed the
present term it will not. according to
present indications, be able to point to a
single instance in which it has reduced
the public expenditures. On the contrary
it will have increased the pubic expendl-
lures by heavy OUTLAWS for pensions and
river and harbor improvements" As
regards revenue the congressional record
Is likewise bad. The Mckinley bill
(Which is not yet passed) may reduce the
surplus by abolishing the duty on raw
sugar, but the sugar trust will still flour
ish and reap the chief benefits of the pro-
posed reduction. This is a bad record to
to for public approval In the fall
The country is moderately
prosperous but it will not tolerate much
longer needless ex~travagance.

THERE is a noble lesson to be derived
from the classic poem, "The Blue and
the Gray" which we print today. Some
years ago when decoration day was moi
so generally observed as at present, the
women Of Columbus, Miss, strewed
mowers alike on the graves of union and
confederate soldiers. In SO doing these
noble women sought no fame. They
obeyed simply the impulse Of their gem
erous hearts. The incident was not lost.

which has done Sc much to remove the
asperities OF civil strife and unite north
and south in the bonds of true affection

IT may be seen by our telegraphic
market reports that wheat is sold In Min
neapolis for delivery in July at 50 cents
per bushel. On the track the price is 90
cents. From these quotations it may be
inferred that prices will be high from
now until after next harvest. This should
encourage our. ranshmen. to seed more

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY,
by f. M. FRENCH.

1.-THE women of Columbus, Mississippi, ami
mated by noble sentiments have shown them
selves impartial in their offerings made to thu
memory of the dead. They strewed flowers alik,
on the graves of the Confederate and of the N a.
tional soldiers.1
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the grave-grass culver,
Asleep on the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood CORY
In the dusk of eternity meet
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel. the Blue,
Under the willow. the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners go.
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe:-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the roses. the Blue, }
Under the lilies, the Gray.
30, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for ALL
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold. the Gray.
30, when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue,
Wet with the rain the GRAY,
Sadly, but not with upbraiding
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading
No drawer battle WAS won:-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the BLU
Under the garland, the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red,
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dvad;-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
