THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

Judge Hedges, who is probably pre-
pairing a stump speech for the coming
campaign, asks in the Helena Herald
"Can any one point to a single democratic
measure for the past SO years that has
given or wen promised to give benefit to
the country, or can he point to a benetic-
ial measure that the democracy has not
denounced and opposed?"
There is the Bland silver bill, for in
stance, judge and senator. In 1878 the
republican party stealthily demonetized
silver and put it so far as the coinage is
concerned, on a level with lead and iron.
When the democrats regained control of
the house they passed the Bland bill,
which revived the coinage Of silver, and
made it legal tenter and provided a basis
for the recent law, which without demo-
cratic aid would never have been passed.
As o protest in favor of free coinage the
democrats voted against the recent bill,
but the republicans know that the demo-
Gratis stood firm as a stonewall against
any attempt to injure the sll yer interests.
Regarding beneficial measures, Judge
Hedges should remember that Montana,
the two Dakotas and Washington owe
statehood to the democratic party. 1t was
a democratic house and a democratic
president that opened wide the door for
the four states, although three of them
still fingered in the darkness of republi-
canism. The list of other beneficial
measures" is a long one.

MINES ARE

A Butte tele gram to the Helena indie
pendent says: at is impossible for any
one not in the mining business to appre-
ciate the change made in the general
condition of this state by the recent rise
in the value of the metallic trio of cop
per, silver and lead. 1t has not only
made bonanzas out of deserted mines
and prospective %millionaires out of grub
stake workers, but it has given impetus
to every line of trade and made possible
enterprises that would otherwise never
have been undertaken. No better ex-
ample of this new prosperity has come to
notice than that related today by Pat
Clark, superintendent of the Poorman
mine IN the Ceur d'Alene."
Among other things Mr.. Clark said:
"An outsider can have but little idea Of
the difference this rise in the price of sill
yer and lead has made to our country
alone. The advance IN sii> CT now amount
to nearly rs per cent, and that of lead to
nearly as great. 1t is the same 10 lis as
finding that much money in the street.
1t makes a difference to our mine alone
Of $4,000 per month and to the whole
camp it cannot fall far short of $150,00O
every 80 days"
The dispatch adds: "The same good
word comes from every camp where
either of these metals is a staple. All
tell of increased prosperity in every line
of business with every indication of the
increase continuing. Under such con
ditions there can hardly be any limit
placed upon the growth which awaits the
immediate future OF Montana, o to the
development that will be given the mines
of this favored state. The same may be
said of every camp in the nation produc-
ing either silver, copper or lead and all
will join in the common prosperity"
We commend these remarks to our
readers in the eastern states who know
how closely Great Falls is connected with
the mining industry. We are confident
that they will draw from them additional
confidence in the bright future of Great
Falls which will soon have direct rail
road communication with the great
mining camps at Barker and Neihart.

What sinister purpose" did the last
democratic convention have in view, let
US ask the TRIBUNE. Was it not the cap
ture OF Montana by fraud and lntimida-
ton?
Thus speaketh the Inter Mountain.
We answer that the last democratic con.
vention had no sinister purpose at all IN
view 1t adopted a noble platform and
put in nomination for governor j. X.
Toole and for congressman Martin Ma
ginnis, journalist, soldier and statesman.
We are confident that it will do as we'll
this year, for the democratic party is
identical with the convictions and aspir-
ations of the people of Montana. 1t will
be true to the interests of the common
wealth as it ever has been. We defy the
Inter Mountain to show any "fraud" or
intimidation" in the plans of the demo-
cratic convention of 1889.

jim WHIILACH DEAD.
.TURDAY, AUGUST 9. IS,

James w. Whitlach, the whole-souled,
plucky miner, whose life reads like a
romance, shot himself dead in a San
Francisco hotel last week. Drink, bad
health and comparative want, account for
his sad fate. Regarding his career the
Helena Herald says: "James w. Whit
latch was born in West Virginia in 1916,
and leaving home at the age of Is came
west, crossing the plains to Colorado
through innumerable hardships and vicis-
STUDIES. He went to Nevada during the
Reese river excitement and o became
interested in lnnumerable mines, mon
them the great Whitlach Union, and
Whitlach Yankee Blade. He made a
fortune out of this mine and spent it. He
came to Utah in 1868 and to Montana in
'64, reaching Helena with a small wagon
train of goods. He discovered the mine
at Unionville which has since become
famous as the Whitlach Union No. 2, and
worked it up to '65. In this year he con-
tracted for the treatment of 1000 tons of
the ore of a lost IMP mill, which had
been erected by l.. G. Turnkey. The re-
suit of the run was $4,000. He after
wards sold a portion of the mine to the
Roosevelts Of New York city, and the lead
has since furnished work to seven stamp
mills OF from 10 to 40 stamps, turned out
immense sums of money and established
the town of KNOXVILLE. The mine is
still a valuable one, but has been closed
some time owing to litigation, and the
mills though still standing are silent. 1t
was in 1869 or 10 that he married Miss
Josie Williams of Brooklyn, by which
union he had four children, all boys. In
1872 he went to California, where he
soon became known for his phenomenal
luck and unheard of extravagances, and
since leaving here he has been 10 all the
mining countries of the world. When
he went to San Francisco this last time
he reached there on Arril l and took
rooms at the Baldwin hotel, where he re-
manned up to last week, when he left
without saying anything of his intention
to depart, leaving his effects IN his room.
On Thursday, about noon, he applied for
transient lodgings to E. r. Owens, the
owner OF the Pioneer house, who as
signed him to an apartment on the first
floor, where, on Friday he wa. found
dead"

MONTANA horses did some splendid
work on the Twin City race course the
past two weeks. Marcus DAILY, Hugh
Kirkendall and Noah Armstrong had
stables there and all were purse-winners.
MI. Daily had a number of fine animals
and won against the best horses of the
country. Kirkendall's Nevada and X
won several races, the latter, in q dead
heat, making the best time for the dis
lance and class on the Hamline course,
These two horses have gone to New
York to win more money, and they are
likely to do it. Mr.. Armstrong; splendid
two-year old colt, RAINIER, not only won
nine others, but broke the
worlds record for that age and distance.
The owner believes that this colt will be
another Spokane or better. The perform
ances of the Montana horses have thor
oughly convinced the people of the Twin
Cities that it is dangerous to bank on
favorites when animals from
This state are in the race. Many of them
have learned this lesson to their financial
sorrow.

Montana's Wealth.

Some n has said that n beginning has
scarcely been made in the development
of the mineral resources of Montana.
The more that is learned IF the state, the
more evident becomes the truth of
this statement. For years miners have
been washing gold from the sands in the
gulches and valleys of the Moccasin
mountains. This range is isolated from
the main range of the Belt mountains
and lies to the east of the Judith basin,
being about 14O miles east of Great Falls.
On the maps this country is marked as
producing gold and we'll is it SO. rhous
ands of dollars have been taken from the
valleys among these mountains but no
earnest effort has been made to develop
the quartz leads until last winter.
RICH ORE FOUND.
Victor Langdoc, an old timer, and two
other men went out there, made some To-
cations and set to work. They could get
no assays, but the ore they took out
looked so we'll that they kept at work.
For three months they went down on the
lead, the ore getting richer as they de-
scended. When spring opened they
sacked their ore, placed four bags at a
time on a cow hide and on this dragged
it down the mountain to a bench. Here
they were compelled to pack it for a dis
tance and then take it down a. steep de-
scent on the COW hide to where they could
drive wagon. In this way
they took out and brought down three
car loads of ore. This ore was all taken
out IN sinking II shaft 65 feet; no drifts
or tunnels were made. The ore was
hauled to Big Sandy, whence it was ship
ped to Pueblo, Col.
A PROFITABLE RETURN.
Last week Mr.. Iangdoc received re-
turns from the smelter and the ship
ment netted above all expenses nearly
$1,000. He was pleasantly surprised at
this return and will continue develop
ment on the mine on a larger scale. The
formation of this region is lime and
p%orphyry. Prosp ctors who taye visited
the region, say that there are better indi-
cations of mineral than in almost any
other range of mountains in Montana. j..
X. Clark and City Marshal Treat are in.
terested in this region. -
