A Wonderfully Rich Property Jumped
Prospects Of Long and Tedious Litisa-
tion-History of the Discovery.
Last Sunday it became noised about
that the Benton group of mines ON snow
creek, owned by the Montana Gold, Sill.
yer Platinum and Tellurium company.
had been jumped by Jerry Collins, ct aI.'
ON the previous night. Finding Dave
Barker, we asc. rtained that the report
was true, and on questioning him in re.
gard to his opinion Of the matter, he re-
marked: ut Is only q bluff on the part
OF Collins. We shall 80 ahead the same
as If nothing happened"
1t seems ina prior to the organization
of the new company Collins had been for
years putting up his proportlonate share
of the representing work on this proup
and considering himself q one-tWelfth
owner. but when the property was con-
veyed to the new company BY his part
ners, Mr.. Collins was left out. as his
rights in he group were not duly re-
corded. Just what will be the result of
this jumping NOV, ment we are unable tn
tell.-Neihart Herald.
The "Benton Group" (the name by
which the lead claims located on Snow
creek, u tributary of Carpenter creek,
which runs into Belt creek Just below the
town of Neihart, are designated are ac-
kno vledged to be the richest undeveloped
mines In Montana. They make a wonder.

company which controls them is con.

said to be worth millions of dollars.
The leads, the Big Snowy, Blue Cloud,
Flora, Carrie and Green & Weatherwax.
(now known as the Puck), were discov.

June 1882, now nearly nine years q
MI. Dutro, who Is an experienced and

BISMARCK IN I'll AND 81.

The last number of the illustrated An'ert-
rnn. in an obituary of Won Moltke and an
illustrated sketch Of his career, gives
among Others striking picture Of four
mounted. heroic figures, Emperor William
l.. the Crown Prince Frederick c'Unser
Fritz'D, General Won Moltke, and "the
Iron Chancellor" Prince Bismarck. This
picture bears for legend, "The Makers OF
the German Empire" The emphatic
truth of the legend none then would have
questioned and few will question now.
Twenty years have passed OF those
four heroic figures, three have passed from
earth. First, the central one, the grim.
athletic, strong-willed old Emperor. Next
his son and successor, the dashing ideal OF
German ehivalry. Last the most consum-
mate master OF detail in military organiza-
ton that the world has ever seen.
OF the four Bismarck alone remains.
But not the Bismarck of the picture. Hap
pier to him the fate of the other three than
to have survived to be no longer "the Iron
Chancellor" otherwise than by voluntary
retirement. Better, the Bismarck of the
picture would have said, to have died then
and there, than have lived to be no longer
the trusted counsellor and friend of his
sovereign.
1t will not be denied that to his strong
will, keen sagacity and adroit manage
ment, more than to any and all other
causes, the uniication of Germany and
the creation of the empire were due. Of
the four "Makers of the Empire" he was
the foremost. The changes that the inter-
val has wrought he would then have pro-
nounced miracle, or at least prophecy
not only false, but impossible of fulfill
ment.
The STRIPPING of that day, second in re-
mote prospect of succession to the rugged
old Emperor, yields the scepter which none
did more than Bismarck to place in his
grandfather's hands, and has welded it to
retire and disgrace the chiefest of
the empire makers. But above
all that, and what he would then have re-
garded as the miracle of miracles, the i'm
possibles of impossibles, Bismarck is about
to enter the reichstag as leader of the oppo-
sition to his sovereign, as critic of the ex-
ercise of functions which he has done more
than any other to place above the reach of
criticism and beyond other limitations
than the sovereign's will.
The Bismarck of the picture has lived to
have the stripping of that period aim at
him the remark, 'There is but one
sovereign of Germany. 1t is T." and to
realize that they are words which he, Bis
marck, did more than any other to make
possible, potent and true, and which he
more than any other made it possible for
the stripping to truly and potently utter.
His survival these twenty years, instead of
dying when the old Emperor did, has sadly
marred picturesque chapter of history.

THE REPUBLICAN MASSES CALM.

As usual about q year in advance of
presidential nomination. the busybodies
are actively engaged in manufacturing
imaginary contentious between Republi-
can leaders, and in efforts to embitter and
create discussions among the admirers of
one and another prominent aspirant or
favored candidate for the presidency,
This has been an almost unvarying expert
ence, but has never been known TO crop
on. earlier, or with greater apparent
spontaneity. or with more palpable precon.
cert of malicious design than at present.
well-organized bureaus are evidently
engaged in this work, and multiform are
the shapes which the drafts upon their i'm
agination are taking. The country is
asked TO believe that President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine are ct daggers' points,
that each of them is self-seeking candi-
date for the nomination, that they are
shaping the administration OF their res
pective offices, and exhausting the funo-
tons OF each with sole reference to this
end, and that each with formidable fol-
lowing within the party is moved BY no
higher or stronger impulse than 20 crush,
humiliate, and, if necessary, disgrace the
other.

is a good deal of British conservatism In
advising merely "little more"

and the people of all the localities visited,
is being held up as designed and projected
solely for eIectioneering purposes. In the
meantime, If we are to believe these would
be fomentors of discord, the able Secretary
whom he has left in virtual control of his
administration has been planning, plot
ting and maneuvering to discredit and
antagonize his chief.
Not content with these manifest mis-
representations, these same agencies ask
the country to believe that Colonel Clark
son, lately promoted to the presidency OF
the national league because of his we'll
proven and unquestionable devotion to
the party and all of its avowed principles,
is intent upon using his personal influence
and that of the organization in opposition
TO the denomination of the President or
Blaine. and in creating discord and bitter
rivalries.
William Mckinley also in loyalty re-
spending to pressing invitations, which
will brook no denial. to visit various sec
tions and expound sound principles, is
paraded as a designing and mischievous
self-seeker, intent only on personal adj
vancement, a marplot inspired with
malevolent designs against the party
and all except himself of its distinguished
leaders. This by no means ends the list,
which includes Alger, Depew, Aldrich,
Quay and many others, each represented
as the head of distinct cabal. but all
working to the same end of stirring up
feuds and alike determined to distract,
disorganize and destroy.
In view of the many sources from which
these reports emanate, and their cum
ningly varied shapes, and styles, and
their tireless reiteration, it is marvellous
with what calm imperturbabiity the Re-
publican masses receive them all. In
some quarters, no doubt, it is extremely
aggravating. but to the average Republic
can these reports have about the effect of
water poured upon a ducks back. They
don't stick. They do not distract. They
do not divide.
1t happens that the Republicans, unlike
their opponents, are not confined to one
or two leaders from whom a suitable and
acceptable selection may be made. They
have score or more of capable and in
every way deserving leaders, any one of
whom would be entirely satisfactory and
would command their united support
They are not divided, nor will they be,
into Harrison and anti-Harrison, Blaine
and anti-Blaine, or any such factions.
There is no self-constituted junta, either
in Washington City, New York or else
where, that can precipitste such factional
contentious in the Republican ranks. No
such junta can dictate to or manipulate the
party in this connection. Nothing else
than the concensus of intelligent and un-
selfish, unfactional Republican opinion and
choice will control or materially influence
the nominations to be made next year.
And the party is keeping and intends to
keep perfectly cool about forming that
opinion and making that choice. 1t will
avail itself of the full benefit of every in
tervening circumstance and event. The
party is calm, and does not propose to let
the busybodies stir up storm within its
ranks.
