Democratic FalsehoodS.

The Bourbon falsehood in Ohio Is
short-lived. 1t alleges one day that tin =
plate is not made at Piqua and that the
sample made by Mai. Mckinley in that
city was from imported steel dipped in
imported lead, and that there was no
tin In it Next day comes the affidavit
of Democrat, which AYERS that the
steel was made and rol cd in Piqua that
the amount OF tin used was Of the pro-
portion always used i'm the manufacture
of tin plate. an1 that it was mined in
California. That the lead used was bor-
rowed from a neighboring firm is ad-
mitted, lead being used in connection
with tin in the manufacture of tin plate:
but it was borrowed only because of de-
lay in receiving lead ordered from
American mines. There is no reason
TO doubt the American origin Of the bor-
Iowed lead, for this country exports
rather than imports that metal. Indeed
the whole imports OF cad, including all
its manufacturers, were less than S25c,-
900 for a year
Reaten upon this point, the Ohio
salsehood mex. takes the form of de-
nial of tin-plate being made, or of there
being preparation TO make it in large
quantities in America. Forthwith comes
evidence or large sales of American
made roofing tin-pate by at least two
firms in Pennsylvania; and upon the
heels OF that there come; from the
Metal Worker laudation of the fine
quality of the tin-platc for domestic
uses made cXperimentally at Piqu2, and

Confuted on this point, the next Ohio
falsehood was, "Ch, 1t is Only i'm Penn

mat there is large output Of tin Plate,
or large preparations for it; and, more
over, tin plate is dearer OH account of

Company, of Detroit, stating that their

is ventilated in thorough manner by
the Ohio State journal, whose editor has
looked tho matter MP Tho Journal
shows that Seitz has belonged 10 every
party under the sun except the Repub'
Ii an; that he has been Chroni. o lice
seeker for many years; that he voted in
the Ohio lie ,islat re against ratifying
the constitutional amendment giving
colored men the right to vote; that he
recorded his oppo ition 10 the appoint
ment Of "a committee to pay visit TO the
Soldiers Orphans Home; that he even
voted against the establishment OF such
a home, being the only member of the
House who did so and that he fought
most bitterly the placing of Lin oln
memorial in the rotunda o. the Capitol.
The journal finds, also, that he opposed
the pa sage Of law equalizing the
bounty of soldiers and sailors; that he
favored joint resolution instructing
Congress TO buy the X. i. Lee estate;
that he voted against the purchase OF
portraits Of Gems. Thomas and McPher-
son; and, in short, never lost an oppor-
tnnity to show his hatred of the soldiers
Of the republic. In 1871 resolution

In the Yoro Country.

Work is being pushed on the Quaker City
and Della mines in Yogo. with more than
satisfactory results. These claims are owned
by Chas. Lehman, OF Helena, and Chas.
Ferris and Emile Dornblut, Of Yogo. The
tunnel is in now about 250 feet, and the
numerous cross-outs show a large body of
gold ore. With a mill it is quite probable
that this would be a paying property. The
owners deserve to strike it rich because
they have worked hard and long to open up
their property.
There are two shifts working on the Edith
and Eliza. on Elk creek, belonging to the
New England and Belt Mountain Mining
company. The tunnel is now in from 200
to 225 feet. This is a property that will
compare favorably with the Great Cumber-
land of Castle. The ore goes 40 per cent. of
lead and from $25 to SITS in silver to the
ton. 1t does not require the aid of any
other ores to hux. The company own two
mill sites just below the dump, with good
water power. In a few months this mine
can have a daily output of forty to fftv
tons. The Gold Mining and Reduction
company is not doing any work at present
on their properties. The showing is good
for work done, and there is every reason to
expect a valuable property with develop
ment. People are going into Yogo every
week. and before winter there is no doubt
but II will have q population Of several
hundred. There is no such stir in Neihart,
butYogo's advance is steady and permanent,
and ere long it will be one of the leading
camps In the Belt mountains. 1t is one of
the most beautiful places in the mountains
for a town.

ertios-A Bi-Metallic Kumor-Decr

Regarding the recent coal discovery in
Kennedy's Coulee, on the old Cypress road
near the west butte of the Sweet Grass hills,
it is stated that Messrs. Hughes, Clingan 4
CO., owners of 5000 sores OF coal lands IA
that section, have run a tunnel OH their
claim eiehty-fve feet and uncovered one of
the finest measures in the entire country.
The coal is similar to that of the famous
Lethfridge variety, but is said to be freer
from impurities and to burn with a brighter
and more lasting fire. This development.
together with that Of certain parties said
to be connected with the Butte & Boston
mining company on Red Rock creek near
Assiniboine, seems to signify that there
exists one continuous vast coal bod stretch
ing from Great Falls into the British pos
sessions and from the Sweet Grass hills on
the west to Assiniboine on the east.
The local papers, as we'll as those in the
Bolt mountains, have given prominence re-
GENTLY to the discovery of huge bodies of
gslena float on Tenderfoot creek, a stream
rising in the Little Belt mountains and de-
bouohing into Smith river. Up to this
writing no news has yet been received of
the finding of the main lead. Some of the
float is six feet in diameter md almost pure
galena.

A rather startling rumor has been poino

week or SO, says the Philipsburg Mail. II
may be untrue, but where there is consid.
cradle smoke there must be a little fire.
1t Is this: that the Bi-Metallio Mining com
pany have started a crosscut south in their
main working shaft on the Jas, g. Blaine
lode from the 7O0-foot level, with TIE evil
dene intention of exploring the Rattlesnake
ground, the property of the Elizabeth oom-
pany

VAIN nope of striking the Granite lead. but
eince then the Granite company have proven
she existence of Il very rich vein of ore d.

Even at the time the West Granite was in
1uil bloom 1t a we'll XII fact that SOM
expert miners who were heavy stockholders
earnestly ADVISED the management to run a
crosscut from the Rattlesnake shaft to their
south SIDE lines, and had this been done il
is more than probable that the West Gran
