The Lone Pine Mine.

This property is located near the Big
Hole river, in Beaverhead county, and was
sold to an English syndicate last winter for
large sum. It is developed by an incline
shaft 225 feet in depth and considerable
amount of good ore has been stopped out
and worked in the ten-stamp mill belong
ing to the company. The ore is free-mill-
ing and pays we'll. At a distance of $50 feet
west of the incline in the lower level a
winze was sunk to depth of ninety feet
In the level the ore was three feet in width
and at the bottom of the winze it was
found to be twelve feet wide of clean, free
milling silver ore. A perpendicular shaft
is now being sunk to connect with this
winze and when it is completed the mill
will again be started up. The ore is very
easily worked and it is claimed the mill has
a capacity of fifty tons per day, The mil
was built under the personal supervision Of
Prof. L. NJ. Luther, the veteran mining ex.
pert, and is said to be one of the best of its
kind. The ore in the winze is the best ever
vet encountered in the mine and good re.

Yesterday was a holiday in Bozeman.
The Northern Pacific branch to Pony was
completed and the people of Bozeman
turned out en- masse to celebrate the event.
A train of cars were placed at their dis
posal and they rolled gaily up to Pony with
flags fiying and music playing popular and
patriotic airs. 1t was a great day for Boze-
man and the greatest Pony has ever known,
and the event was appropriately celebrated.

Not Dead, But Sleeping.

The principal owners of the San Francis
co property, located at Philipsburg, have
not been idle, it appears, since the recent
suspension of mining operations. which it
was supposed had ceased for all time. Not
SO, however. as the news comes from St.
Louis that strong efforts are being made to
revive the old company, as will be seen from
the following from the Republic: "Phoen-

the decision arrived at yesterday at the

the old company, which had been called to-
gether for the purpose of arranging for a
final settlement of the company's affairs.
The basis for the recognition is conside1yd
one of the fairist propositions eyer made

faith in this property, The name Marie

The Contemporary Repie,e.l

There seems to be little ground for conteuding
that in England the monarch was ever held to
rule by divine right, Mt least by any other di-
vine right than that which sees the benediction
of heaven in actual possessiOn-beati pOssi-
dentes. 1t was not much heard of till the ac-
cession Of James /, and was used by him to
supplement notorious defect of hereditary
titie which he was unwilling TO strengthen by
an acknowledgement that he owed his throne to
election by the nation. The fact is that James
] was King of England by kind of adoption,
not altogether dissimiar to that which pre-
vailed under the Roman Empire, and with the
working of which M. Renan is SO pleased that
he would like to see it introduced into the pub
lie law of modern Europe. The extreme doc
trne of divine right which Shakspere puts
into tho mouth of Richard III, is an anachrOn-
ism. 1t belongs not to the fourteenth century,
but in germ, perhaps, to the closing years of
the sixteenth and the commencement of the
seventeenth to the Tudors and Stuarts, and not
to the Plantagenets. In the words
" Not all the water In the wide rough sea

1t is noticeable that it is not the hereditary
title. but election by the Lord, the consecrating
balm and not prmogenture and rule of BIRTH

If they were not, az is sometimes contended,
those of the House of Lancaster. were certainly
in succession those of the houses of Tudor and
Stuart, whose title was through the house of
Lancaster.
Till near tho close of the fourteenth century
of our history the doctrine that the King never
dies, expressed in the formula of tho French
monarchy, "Thc King is dead; long live the
King" did not prevail. The reign of the new
monarch was supposed to begin not on the day
of what is now called his accession. but on
the day of his coronation the interval between
the two was often lawless anarchy, and the
Kings peace died with him. The inconven-
fence which this state of things produced when
any considerable interval elapsed between the
death of the King and his coronation made it
necessary to adopt the system which recognizes
no interreguum.
