PROF. sWALLoW,s REPORT

But few OF our readers have any
idea OF the extent OF the mineral crop.

amount OF work that has been done
on the numerous gold and silver claims
in the district. In this issue will he
found the report OF Prof. q. {. Swal-
low, who personally visited this section
and made n thorough investigation.
No other region in Montana Is given
a more prominent place or more gem
erous space in his report than that OF
The Mines at Maiden" Prof. Swal-
low was greatly impressed with what
he saw, and to him it meant more
than to the unprofessional. From the
surface he could form an intelligent
idea of what was hidden below, and
what must he the ultimate outcome
OF the district. His report will he
found very interesting, as it gives one
Il pretty good idea OF the character OF
rock and veins rs well as the different
minerals to be found
At present considerable work il
being done in the Cone Butte district,
with good results. There has never
been "a month since the mines were
discovered that the miners pick was
still, and this district now promises to
equal any in Montana in the produc-
tion OF silver.
We believe with Prof. swallow that
all that is needed to make our mines
productive is a railroad No other
region in Montana is placed at such
a disadvantage.

see no reason why this law should not
operate the same under state as under
territorial government. Territ orial
laws are the only laws We have at
present. l. there an appropriation
for bounties? Are not the warrants
drawn on the contingent fund? Sec
tion 33. OF the constitution, provides
that; The general appropriation
bills shall embrace nothing but appro-
prIations for the ordinary expenses OF
the legislative, executive and judicial
departments of the state. interest on
the public debt and for schools, etc. :"
Possibly the ''etc" refers to bounties.
Even under this plain provision state
officers, according to the supreme
court decision, can draw their salaries
although no appropriation whatever
has been made. The poor "wolfer"
must wait. This is a matter that
concerns stockmen and woolgrowers,
and some steps should be taken to
secure the 'wolfers" their Just dues.
Fergus County argus., 1890-03-06

The River Press takes issue with
State Auditor Kenney in his refusal o
audit bounty certificates. All the
certificates sent to the auditor since
January /, 1890, are to be held pend
ing legislative action, as they cannot
he audited until some appropriation
he made for their payment. This is
the view held BY the State Auditor
The River Press holds that lit is the
duty OF Mr.. kenney to issue warrants
upon the treasurer for the amounts
called for by the bounty certificates
presented to him, and that it is he
duty OF the treasurer TO pay the
same il there shall he unappropriated
funds in the state treasury to meet
