happier childhood for their class.
He advocated woman suffrage, and
said that within month he had Sc
cured 239, 900 signatures to a petit
ton to congress, praying for the
submitting to the people constitu-
tional amendment granting to wo-
men the right to vote. He claimed
that the general adoption of eight
hours a day for working people
would help to ameliorate their con-
dition.
The railroad bill providing for the
election of commissioners and pro-
hibiting free passes, passed the
house, Tuesday, by a vote of 80 to
25. All the Republicans and Dem
ocrats voted against; also two
Peoples party men. The Lupfer
school book bill passed by vote of
70 to 40. The bill is regarded by
some of the brightest men on the
floor of the house as bad measure
"a sink-hole for the peoples money
without furnishing remedy for ex-
listing evils.
House bill 7O7, substitute for l40,
was taken up in committee Of the
whole, Monday, and after stormy
debate, in which the Republican
members used all the obstruction
methods common to fillibusters.
Some of the members went so far as
to taunt the Peoples party with
dishonesty and other opprobrious
ephithets. The readers Of the AGI-
TAroR shall judge of the righteous
ness of the bill. The first section
provides that no railroad shall
charge passengers more than l-2 C.
per mile for transportation, and fixes
therates for children, and pounds of
free baggage. Sections 2 to I pro-
vide for the choice of railroad
commissioners and their duties and
pay. Immediate choice is provided
for the appointment of one commits
sioner by the governor, one by the
senate, and one by the house of
representative, and whose terms
shall begin with April l, '91, and
end by the election of their success
sors at the general election in No
vember, 1891. The board as then
constituted will retire one member
each year, and one member will be
elected at each general election.
They each are to receive salary of
$4,000 per annum. The commits
sioners shall have general supervis-
ion of all railroads, telegraph and
express companies operated in this
state shall inquire into all COM
plants of violation of law, and
enforce all provisions of the statutes |

Halo, Brother Highley, the first
reading of your criticism of the
mortgage law, and what you call
class Legislation in the lower house
of the Legislature, that appeared in
the two last issues Of the Journal,
reminded me Of the remarks made
by windy orator who said: LA
dies and gentlemen After refec-
ton, consideration and determine
ton, l have calmly, coolly and
deliberately come to the determined
conclusion that in cities where the
population is large, there is great
er number of men, women and chill
dren than there is in in cities where
the population is less" But upon
the second reading of the same
criticism, l saw the horns and hoofs
of the two old parties, or money

LIKELY TO GO BY DEFAULT.

Unless Helena Puts Forth Strong Efforts
She viii Lose the College.
Fourteen days and it will be decided
whether or not this magnificent institution
will be Helena's. What has become Of the
committee appointed by the Board of
Trade? Considerable interest has been
manifested by some of the citizens of
Helena during the last few weeks, but no
organized concerted action has been taken.
Thu matter was brought before the Board
CT Trade and a committee appointed, but
up to the present time no effort has been
put forth by the committee to secure
this magnificent institution for Helena.
Great Falls is alive to the situation. They
have not only secured a magnificent propo-
sition of land and money, but have dele
gated Senator Paris Gibson to meet with
the committee at the coming conference at
Butte to set forth the advantages of their
offer. The college will undoubtedly cause
to be expended in beautiful buildings $780,
600 within two years and more than a
million within ten years from the present
time. The general idea of those who have
the matter in charge is to build several
large buildings suitable for each of the va
rlous departments, and to encourage as
much AS possible the renting of rooms and
boarding in private families. This will re-
qulfe numerous residences adJacent TO the
school property, and the effect will be to
build up a beautiful suburb.
Oberlin college was founded a little more
than forty years ago under the most favor.
able circumstances imaginable, and liter
ally in the heart of a forest, more than
forty miles from any town or village OF
note. 1t has since spent several millions OF
dollars in beautiful improvements and
supports a population of more than 5000,
and is one OF the leading institutions OF
learning. This is practically the history
of nearly all the colleges of this denomina,
ton, and there is no reason why the Con
gregatlonal college of Montana, planted
under the most favorable circumstance
should not rival her sister colleges within Il
few years and add at least 5000 to the pop
ulation of the town where she is located.

Use Northern Pacific Tracks.

The Canadian Pacific will begin running
through trains from Mission to Seattle some
time in May. The trains will run over the
Canadian Pacitic's new extension from
Mission to Sumach and the balance of the
distance over the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern. If ARRANGEMENTS are made with
the Northern Pacific the Canadian Pacific
will extend its service to Tacoma. The
Northern Pacific is not believed to favor the
use of the Lake Shore tracks by the Cana
dian Pacific, but can not, it is said,
prevent it, as the Canadian Pacific made
the preliminary arrangement for the service
now to be inaugurated with the Lake Shore
road before the latter passed into the
Northern Paciic's control. Through cars
to the sound will be run west from st. Paul
and switched off on the Tacoma branch at
Mission.

New Westminster Southern.


Saturday was the day set by the customs
and railway inspectors to examine the New
Westminster Southern railroad between
Blaine and Liverpool. In the morning the
Fairhaven & Southern company sent a
special train to Liverpool, opposite West
minister, to receive the Canadian officials.
The dominion inspector of railroads and
the provincial customs inspector, together
with officials Of the New Westminster
Southern and Fairhaven d Southern rail-
road, ran over the line as far as Fairhaven
and returned to Liverpool in the evening.
The run was made from Fairhaven to
Blaine, thirty miles, in forty minutes.
from Blaine to Liverpool, twenty-five miles,
in fifty minutes. Dominion Inspector
Gray, when asked what his Judgment on the
road was, answered: ''Of course l would
rather reserve my official opinion until !
prepare a written report, but as for myself,
l will say l am more than satisfied. The
road comes far ahead of what l expected.

Completion of tho New Westminste
Southern-Canndian Pacific to
Enter Tacoma.

G. Shields. general superintendent, s. O.
Brooks, general traffic agent, and F. B.
Ross, northwestern passenger agent, all of
the Chicago, st. Paul d Kansas City Rail
way company, arrived in Helena yesterday.
They are just out from st. Paul, and are
making a trip over the state, meeting old
friends and making many new ones. To-
day they visit Butte, and, on their return,
go east by way of the Great Northern. The
party attended the meeting of the Stock
Growers association at Miles City, and
found all the cattlemen very much elated
over the bright outlook this year. The
ranges have not looked so we'll for six or
seven years. while beef is higher than it has
been for some time.
Two of the party are not strangers in
Montana by any means, and take as much
interest in the prosperity of the state as a
native. Mr.. Shields built the Great North
ern from M:not to Great Falls,
and the Montana Central from the
latter city to Helena. Referring to
the completion of the road into Helena, he
recalled with a great deal of enthusiasm
the celebration that day, with the process
sion, speeches at the opera house and the
banquet. He made many friends at that
time who will be pleased to see him again
in Montana.
F. b. Ross is almost a Montanian. He
has been coming to Montana for a longer
period than any other travelling passenger
agent in the country, his first trip dating
back to the DAYS of the stage coach. He
in on the first train over the Northern
Pacific. and when the Great Northern
reached Helena he was on board. All the
party predict for Montana this year an ex-
cellent business, both in the matter of out
put and in the number of new smelters.
Several parties are booked via their line to
visit Helena during the summer.

The Bunker Hill Mill.

al VI LIE bunker Hill
and Sullivan Mining company was COM
pleted and started on Wednesday, April Is,
says the Wardner News. The building is
24i feet long by seventy-two feet wide. The
ore bin is 100 by thirty-two feet with a
capacity of 1000 tons and the concentrate
bins are six in number with a capacity of
oO tons. The machinery consists of two
trough conveyors, each 100 feet long. Two
incline trough conveyors forty feet III
length. Two feed hoppers with a capacity
of twenty tons each. Eight sets of i'm.
proved cornish rolls, two sets OF fourteen
by thirty-slx, two sixteen by thirty. two
fourteen by twenty-four and two ten by
eighteen. Eight belt elevators and ten
Separating screens. Twenty-eight JIG ma
chimes, three douhle-deck. Evans tables
and SIX Frue vanners. The machinery il
furnished from the Chicago Iron works, of
CAL, bumlller d Unzicker, and also from
the foundrles of Fraser d Chal-
mers and the Link-Belt company
of the same city. The entire
works are run by water power, tho water
being conveyed from the mouth of Elk
creek, a distance of nearly three miles. bv
fiumea and giving 1000 horse power; the fail
OF water at the mill is tfty-eight feet. Four
Leffel wheels are in use.
The mill is most conveniently located nm
the south side of the Union Pacific railroad
with a side track on which special cars are
run to receive the concentrates. The plans
of the building were originally drawn b,
Robert Cheyne, and his designs have beef
carried out exactly in the construction: Tia,
machinery was all put in place under hil
guidance and the work of concentrating
now proceeds under his supervision. IN,
works are lighted by electricity, two AZ,
and ffty-fve incandescent lights in tn,
main building. The capacity of the con
centrator is 400 tons per day and at presen
there are 1900 tons of crude ore in the bi,
and sixty tons concentrates.

MINES NEAR THE CAPITAL.
The Mill to Be Started on None Such
Ore, Near KNOXVILLE, To-
Day.
Another Group of Mines In the
Same District Which Promise
Big Things.
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mfl-English
Copper Market-A Sag In Eliza
beth Quotations.

The mill on the None Such, near Union
willie, is expected to start up to-day and the
" result of the first run is looked for by
Helena people with a great deal of interest.
There are about $50 tons of free-milling
rold ore ready for the mill, and the work
on the mine the past month has resulted in
a most encouraging showing. The opera
tions of the None Such have drawn a great
deal of attention to other properties near
Unionville and will undoubtedly cause con-
siderable capital to be invested there this
season.
Among other properties in the vicinity is
the Geraldine group, located about three
miles from Helena, on the west side of Dry
pulch and Immediately east of the Whit
lach-Union. The claims in the group are
the Geraldine, Conductor, Woodtick, Orc
Cache and Sixty-four. The group is now
in the hands of p. V. Dryer, of st. Paul.
Michael Burns has been developing
them for the past seven years and
has kept two men almost constantly at work
during that time. Prof. Walton, the cele-
brated English mining expert, examined
the property some time ago and spoke very
highly of it. DIR. G.. c. Swallow has also
examined the group and his report also is
most favorable. Six shafts have been sun k
III tuc VelHs ranging phlAoy w Lev
About $1,000 has been spent in development
work. All the shafts and tunnels are on
the vein, which is a true assure in contact
between limestone and granite, and varies
in width from one to six feet. In the be-
ginning of development the gold and silver
in the ore was about equal, but as the depth
increases the rock becomes richer in gol d.
Assays range from $40 to $lS3. 1t is de-
signed to do a large amount of work on this
property this season. Five hundred tons OF
free milling good ore have already been
taken out, which average all the way
through about $40 a ton.
What is true of the None Such and Coral
dine group is true of the whole district.
There is an immense contact vein running
through the entire country where these
properties are situated, and a very small
fraction of the money which is put into
enterprises outside of this county by Helena
men, if spent in the development of some of
these claims within five miles of the city,
would, in the opinion of those familiar with
the country, add many thousands of dollars
annually to the ~county's mineral output
besides making a trade for Helena mer-
chant worth thousands of dollars. st.
Louis capital is Interested, st. Paul men
are coming in and Boston parties are bar
gaining for some of the properties near
KNOXVILLE, experts have reported most
favorably on the district, and now all that
is needed to bring the camp to the front is
for Helena people to take hold,
