THAT BOYCOTT.
A Few Facts Submitted for the Benefit of
the Public.

a Few Facts Submitted for the Benefit of
the Public.
To The INDEPENDENT: In order that the
public may be more fully informed as to
the aims of the Helena Trades and Labor
readers of IKE INDEPENDENT an extract
from the constitution of that body. Section
/ of Article VII. reads as follows: ''At the
commencement of each term an inyestigat-
ing committee ahall be appointed bv the
president, consisting of one member from
each organizations" In section two of the
same article the duties of the said commit
tee are defined in the following language:
'The investigating committee shall thor
oughly investigate all trades or labor dis
putes that may b. referred to them and use
all honorable means to settle the same and
endeavor to bring about an agreement sat
they fail to accomplish q settle
ment or affect an agreement, they
| shall report the same to this assembly, to-
gether with their recommendations. No
action other than the cominittee's shall be
taken by this assembly until such report
has been made, when the decision of the
assembly shall be final"
Now. Mr.. Editor. tho sections referred to
are orr guide in labor disputes and they
have been complied with in each and all
cases; and yet we have been accused of act
ing without mature deliberation in every
instance. Still the history OF each dispute,
whenever q arm has been declared unfair,
proves conclusively the reverse. Our motto
is hew to the line, let tho chips fall where
they may, hurt who they will. Various
comments upon onr actions have appeared
during the past week In the city papers, the
one of which Is uncompllmentar7
throughout; by some our actions
ara characterized as un-Arnerican,
but right here we would ask
any impartial reader who has any idea OF
what should constitute an American ~citlz.n,
was IL un-American to help the stone ma
sons who are resisting a reduction Of from
20 to so per cent. of their present standard
of wages? Let the readers answer be, wha'
it will. We are Americans imbuea with
American IDEAS and principles, and endeav-
oring to carry them through irrespective o.
unjust criticism from without. Compare
our actions if you will with that of on
critics, Fair Play" and Justice" ant
right there you will find an answer to thu
query who are these b%ulldozcrs?
We are American o~itizens. wearing Ameri
can made clothes, boots, shoes and lat:
and only asking for our kindred craftsmen
a fair remuneration for a fair return Of ser
vice in a fair, American way, free from tn,
trsmmels of serfdom and ~pauperism, nov
sought to be imposed upon us by such firm
as that of Saudford and Evans, member
of the Builders exchange who by the wa,
are pledged to support home industry.

Placer Mining by Electricity,

A syndicate Of Denver men are introduce
ing electrical machinery for placer mining
and are now making practioa! tests of the
apparatus in the now gold fields of Bald
mountain district, Wyoming. The machine
il caIied.the Bennett smalgamator. II is
claimed tina apparatus is capable of bInd-
ling from 1000 to 5000 yards of dirt per
day, and saves svsry particle of gold. Even
microscopic gold that will float eight
minutes in water, and could not be saved
by any other known process, is caught up
by the Bennett electric process, and the
cost of working q yard of ground averages
about two cents. In fact, dirt that will pay
80 cents per yard by the old process yielus
five dollars a yard when manipulated by
the Bennett amalgamator. The water used
in the revolving screen sluics of this ma
chine is run back again to the reservoir
and saved, and this il used over and over
again during the course of q day. One
inch (miner's measure) of wster is sufi-
cient to work the amalgamator's tank. A
weeks work for this machine covers an
area of one and one-half acres, fourteen
feet, and the machine is SO easily handled
that it can be manipulated by a ten-year-
old boy.

On the Closing Proposition and
he Trades Assembly.
To The INDEPENDENT: The statements
made in your paper Friday morning by the
person who signs himself Justice" and
claims to be an impartial observer" are
false and misleading in many respects.
The dry goods merchants did not submit a
proposition to the Trades and
Labor assembly. which was agreed
to by all of their number
except one, to close all the year at 6 o'clock,
excepting the months o. October, Novem-
Der and December but they did submit a
proposition, duly signed by the four firms,
to the assembly, proposing as a fair settle
'ment that they Gloss at 6 p. nj. during the
months of January, February, March, July
and August, and close at $50 the remain
ing seven months. This proposition was
ignored entirely by this body and tho mer-
chnuts given to understand that no COM
promise would De made; and the orders of
the delegates must be oheyed, entirely re-
gardless OF tho lutefests of the merchants.
III the meantime, l am informed, no COM
plant was made by any of the clerks to their
firms Of overlook. | am also informed
that the salaries of these men wore based
upon long hours, and, further, that all
these firms are indignant at the treatment
they have received, and fesi that their
rights have been assailed by an element
that should attend to their own business.

himself to the facts in the case. as this mat.

Leasers in Luck.

Reports from Butte are to the effect that
a great many Of the miners who lost their
positions by the shutting down of the Ana
conda, have leased prope1ties in the vicin-
ity of Butte, and in a number of cases are
working them at n profit. Among these
latter are the Rodda Bros, who are working
the Geneva on a lease. This property be-
longs to A. w. Barnard. and has long been
known to be- rich in mineral, thousands OF
dollars worth having been gophered out OF
the two veins near the surface. 1t was
finally determined to develop she property,
and a shaft was sunk 100 feet on the south
lead. From this point a crescent was ruu
for the north lead, striking it at a distance
OF ninety-eigEt feet. Where the lead was
struck it uas found to be a fine body of ore
fully eight feet in thickness and showing
$50 per ton by assay. The lead was be.
tween we'll defined walls and gave every in.
dication of being permanent.

Going to tho Seven Devils.

Messrs. Hauser and Hotter expect to
make a visit of inspection to the Seven
Devils mining country this week. The
American Mining company. composed of
Helena nen, own the most extensively de-
veloped mines in that country; in fact 1t is
due to the Helena capital that the mines
have been developed. The ore il rich in
copper. carrying sufficient silver to make
the copper all profit. On the Peacock and
other claims Of the company immense ore
bodies have been opened up. Early this
season the company's new steamer was put
into operation, but met with an accident on
the first trip which has laid it up ever since.
Until a railroad is built the Seven Devils
will be difficult of access, though reports
are to the effect that hundreds of prospec-
tors have zone into the country this year.
The route from Helena is to Pocatello,
then by the Oregon Short Line to Weiser.
From this point to the mines it is eighty
miles by stages.

ing lead that cropped out of the ground for
in width. Mr.. Cline had no tools but broke
of some of the Groupings of the ledge and

satisfied no better ore has ever been found
