WHERE WOMEN VOTE.
Tho Present. Status of Female SuffIaE
Throughout the World.

Tho Present. Status of Eemale SnnraEe
Throughout the World.
The Hartford, Conn, Times prints a
synopsis of a pamphlet by Hamilton Will
cox, of New York, entitled freedoms Con-
q~uests,'' which, revised to date, gives the
present status of woman suffrage Throughout
the worla, showing over 100 regions where
it exists in America. Europe, Africa, Asia
and Cceanica. Probably very few
PEOPLE suppose there is q spot
in Africa where women have even
limited suffrage, but under the govern
ment of the Cape of Good Hope, which
rules several hundred thousand square
miles of territory, women have municipal
suffrage. In New Zealand women have
municipal and school suffrage. and the leg
lature has resolved that they shall vote for
members of parliament. Women also vote
in Victoria. New South Wales, Queensland,
South Australia and West Australia. In
Pitcairn Island (South Pacific women have
voted abent a hundred yesrs. They have
full suffrage there. In the little Isle of
Man, on the opposite side OF the globe, with
about 10000 people, women have been vot-
ing FIVE years: In England, Scot
vote for all elective officers except
ing members of parliament. and will
very likely soon have that vote also. In
Ireland women vote everywhere for poor
law guardians. md in some of the seaport
for karbor boards. In Belfast they vote for
all municipal officers. In France women
teachers everywhere vote for women mem
bers of boards of education. In Sweden
they vote about as in Britain, and indi-
rpctly for members of the house of lords.
: In Norway they have school suffrage, and
in Russia women heads of households vote
for all elective ~otIicsrs and on all local
questions. In Austria-Hungary they vote
by proxy at all elections. including mem
hers OF provincial and imperial parliam snts.
. In Croatia and Dalmatia they vote at local
. elections in person. In Italy widows vots
, by proxy for mombe's of parliament. In
Finland women vote for all elective
+ offices but one. In Iceland they
vote for all elective Offices. In Asia
women taxpayers vote in the m a
tracts of British Burmah. In the Madras
presidency (Hinaostan) they vote in all the
municipalities. also in the Bombay presi-
dency. In all the countries of Russian
Asia, women can vote wherever a Russian
colony settles. The Russians are coloniz.
ing the whole of their vast Asiatic posses,
aions, and carry with them everywhere
! the mir or elf-governinR village, where
in women heads of households vote. II

The Little Chief.

Yesterdays INDEPENDENT contained an
item about a strike in the Little Chief
mine, near Mullan, Idaho. 1t was of par
ticuiar interest to Mr.. Frank Hall, one of
the Iron Mountain trustees, because he was
the discoverer of the property. In 1865 he
was prospecting near Mullan and one morn
ing. when out alone, he struck his pick in
the ground, turned over q boulder, and
found u piece of quartz which assayed 80
ounces. Later in the day Mr.. Hall and his
partner located the ground, and did some
work ON it. Some time ago Hall
disposed of his interest to his brother, who
is now in the Rimini district. The other
original locator also disposed of h s hall.
Mr.. Halls brother still has a third inter
est in the mine. 1t is IN the same hill as
the Hunter, and from reports gives promise
of being 8 grsat mine.

FROM DILLON no CASTLE.


Butte People Believe the Union Pacific
viii Extend les Line.
The belief that the Union Pacific railway
is going ia build into Helena just as soon
az they can is one that is held not only by
Helena people but also by Visiting railroad
men, contractors and even Butte citizens.
Contractor Winters, of Butte, has the fol-
lowing to say about the matter to a Butte
Inter Mountain reporter. II have hardly
made up my mind about this road to Ana
conda yet. The people back of it appear to
be in earnest and are working ~ if the plan
was to be carried through. Another engi-
Rear was sent out yesterday to assist those
already in the field n that part Of the
work, at least, is being pushed.
Be that as it may, there ID a scheme
on foot that more that double discounts
that. 1t is the extension of the
Union Pacific to Helena and from there to
Great Falls, where it will join the Great
Falls a Canada road. This will give
them direct communication with the Cana
dian Pacific road through the very best ter
ritory in the northwest. The cost will be
comparatively slight, IA the grading from
Dillon to Helena has been don for years.
That will leave Il gap of only eighty-fve
miles to Great Falls. By going through
Castle, that coming camp can be made
tributary. snd the line would be II valuable
one throughout. 1t is said over there that
the deal for this road is icing made with
the Northern Pacific, but / am confident it
is the Union Pacific. and would like to bet
something on it. The building of this ex-
tension would be a great thing for western
Montsna. and especially for Dillon"
If Mr.. Wintsis had pons into the matter
a little further, he would have added that it
would be a great thing for the Union Paci-
hc. The best paying branch or leasea line
the Great Northern has ia the Montana
Central. Either by it's lack of enterprise,
or because of itss inability to extend its
line, the Union Pacific haS lost for years q
and has seen its rivals growing rich out of
a territory it could lave had years ago.
That Gould and the new management pro-
pose to have their Montana business here
after there is no doubt; and making Helena
the central point, the Union Pacific will
extend its line all over the state.

Okanogan Mines.

Reports from the Fourth Of July are to
the effect that the mine is looking better as
development proceeds. Sixteen tons of ore
Sucked an ready for shipment give an
average value of 405 ounces silver to the
ton. Assays from a six-inch streak near
the surface give 22S ounces to the ton, while
some ore from the 1O0-foot slope returned
1.EO0 ounces. From the twenty-foOt lead
some very nice ore is being taken out.
Most 81 the force is at work on the 2G0-foot
level. three shifts being run there. 1t is
thought that within sixty feet the chute of
ore found OH, the 100-foot level will be
struck in the 200. President j. K. Clark is
expected ut the mine within a week. Tween
ty-hye men are now employed on the
property, and more will be put to work as
level il now in 800 feet, and in good ore all
tho way. The tunnel in the 200-foot is in
seventy feet.
When the Lone Star shut down last win
ter the ledge at the bottom of their 31O-foot
shaft was showing better than at any other
point vet touched in the mine. When sink
ing was resumed last week the previous
fine appearance was renewed. and after a
few shifts had been worked four feet OF
very rich silver elanc ore Was opened. The
Ruby Miner reports that three-inch streak
of this body contains silver glsnc ore un-
ming as high as $1,000 ounces of silver to
the ton.
Twenty men are employed constructing
the ditch for the quartz mill now building
for the War Eagle and Black Bear mines.
Something over half of the distance has
been completed. The saw mill begun oper-
atoms last week and five teams are hauling
lumber to the nin site. J.. S. Bald win il
laying out the site and also Surveying the
new town of Palmer, to adjoin the premises,
and will take his family back with him te

ClouGh Says Nay.

Vice-President Clough, of the Great
Northern railroad, says regarding the
stories from Seattle that the Great North
ern route to the coast had been located,
that they are not true. as the route has not
been selected. Rumor now has it that the
Skagit pass will be selected. but it is safe to
say that nobody but the Great Northern
officials know about it.

The Boston News Bureau quotes a promi-
nent Boston gentleman who has just re
turned from a visit to the Anaconda mines
as saying that this property is now shut
down pending the communication of a large
sale of its products. This, more than any
trouble with the railroad people, is the real
Gauge for its being idle. MIR. keyser's trip

In the Castle District

The Yellowstone has always been looked
upon as one ofsthe most valuable mines in
this district. The present condition of the
PROPERTY is very;encouraging. The amount
of reserve ore in sight is enormous, and can
only be appreciated when it is said that the
ledge is from thirty-Nve to fifty feet in
width and that the ore body embraces the
larger portion of il. On the 100 level 325
feet of cross-outs have been made in vari-
GUS directions. At the face of the cross
cut that encountered the ore, the vein is
thirty feet wide, carrying. a large percent
age of lead and running high in silver. AS
the ore has never been blocked out, no deli
mite calculation can be made as to the
quantity, OF ore on this level, but there are
thousands Of tons ready for extraction. On
the 2oo-feot level the vein increases to the
depth of forty feet. This level, like the
)0-foot. has had a great many cross-cuts
run in all directions to the amount of 800
feet. Tho 300-foot level has $50 feet of
struck, which is due to the trend Of the
lead, which is away from the shaft.
The smelter. which is situated in the little
valley one mile southwest of town, has been
enlarged to keep pace with the mine. 1t ls
q thirty-fvs ton water jacket, with good
supply, and all the convenlences for smelt-
ing all the ore the ore the mine produces,
but the intention of the ompan IS to do
custom work. The ore will be weighted
and assayed, and the owner is paid full
value for his ore. IL 10 proposed TO start
she smelter in u short time, and 1t will
be in active operation for at least six
months. The output will be from thirty
five to fifty tons per day.
The Armada is preparing to receive its
new hoist. o on the way IN from Living
ston. As soon as the machinery can be
placed (Which will be on the SmuRsler)
active operations will be resumed in the old
shaft, which is 125 feet deep, in which the
water same so fast that it could not be
worked without machinery.
Tho water continues to flow out of the
top of the shaft on the Bondholder. The
drift on the 200 foot level was in about 1Ot
feet when a large body of water was broke
into. and it flowed in with such force and
rapidity that in a short time the pumps
were drowned, and in a few hours the 1Ot
foot c~rosscut and the 2l5 foot shaft wa:
( filled to overlooking. This property has
been worked steadily all winter. Last fal
a new hoist was put on the cir to worl
the ~Bondholder, Alice and R~lackhaws, but
this unfortunate affair will defer the work
ing from this shaft for Some time, or sucl
a time as the compan can make arrange,
ments to pump their mine dry.

MINE IN FLAMES.

s. Only Chance Ayerted Another Disaster
Almost Equal to That at Mammoth
NEWCASTLE, Pa, Feb. 4.-W hat al
most proved TO be another Mammoth
mine disaster occurred here in the
Grand Silver Coal and Coke mines. Just
at s o'clock as the day shift, composed Of
seventy-fve men, was about to
leave the mine a terrific
explosion occurred. Above the
roar Of escaping gas the pitif1 cries Of
imprisoned miners could be plainly
heard by their wives and children. Soon
willing hands braved the great danger
and started the hosting machinery, re-
ieving each other as fast as their COM
rades became exhausted. Soon seventy
five miners were brought TO the surface,
some Of them more dead than alive,
none Of them any too soon, as the flames
Immediately reached the shaft and came
up with such force that 1t drove every
body away. Explosions have occurred
every few hours 1t is thought several
have persisted. Had the explosions oc-
CURED when the miners were at work
not one would have escaped.

Forty to Fifty Million Feet Of Pine Cut
Annually Along the Minnesota Border.

Forty to Fifty Million Feet Of Pine Cut
Annually Along the Minnesota Border.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The special
agents of the general land Office ap-
pointed in June last by Secretary Noble
to investigate alleged large timber dep
relations in the Rainy lake and Rainy
river country IN Northern Minnesota,
by both American and Canadian parties,
have made their official report.
1t is stated in the reports that such
definite information Of large depreda-
tons has been obtained as viii enable
the government TO sustain actions at
law against the trespassers. The yearly
average Of logs passing through the
Rainy river Is said TO between 10, 00o,0 900
and $4,000, 900 feet. Of this amount
about four-ffths came from the
United States and the balance from
Canada. A very large part of this lu1n-
Der is unlawfully cut from government
land. Several instances where lands
have been improperly certified to the
State of Minnesota as swamp lands have
been discovered.
The interior department VIII I'M
doubtedly very soon begin legal pro-
ceedings against the guilty parties.
There is apparently reason for saying
that the best Of feeling did not exist
among the members Of the expedition.
In fact, there was big row all around.
But one joint report Is made and only
two Of the special agents join III that re-
port. These are Warmer and Rosen-
busch, and they detailed the dry routine
facts as they found them, all Of which
have been published.

Law Declared Valid by the
Supreme Court
Sale of Liquors in Original Pack

Unlawful.
Forty to Fifty Million Feet OF Pine
Stolen Annually Along the Min
nesota Border.

FgRGo, n. D., Feb. 5.-The somewhat
noted liquor case of the State Vs. simon
Fraser and George Benz, carried to the
supreme court ON appeal by the state,
was argued before the supreme court
here Monday, and decision has just
been handed down The opinion Is
written by Justice Wallin and concurred
in by the full bench, and uphalds the
consdf q ionality of the state prohibition
liquor law, whether applied to Domestic
products or impo ted and sold N orig
inal packages. Following Is the sylia-
bus:
1t appears that enc of the defendants
who resides at St Paul, Mimi. Is, through
the agency OF the other defendant, engaged
in carrying on the business OF keeping Tor
sale and selling Intoxicating liquor at a
place of business located at Fargo, IN the
State of North Dakota, IN violation OF the
prohibitory liquor law.
Held that such place OF business Is a
common nuisance, whether such liquor
was or was not drank by purchasers at
sub phase of business, with the knowledge
and consent of the agent in charge Of such
place of business.
Held. further, since the passage by con
gress of the law commonly known as the
Wilson bill, that sales of Intoxicating
Hquer, IN violation of the prohibltory leg
islation of North Dakota, which are made
in this state by a nonresident, through al
agent living in the state, are unlawful
sales, whether the liquor Is or Is not I'M
ported liquor, or whether it is or Is not
contained in the original eask or paekags
in which il was shipped ont OF an0fhs'
state or country.
