Deer Lodge, and while there they
visited the Wake Up Jim, owned by
James G. McMullen and John Robbins.
Their incline is about twenty-five feet,
and they have phenomenal showing,
for development. The Wake Up Jim
is recent discovery, and the enthusi-
asm Of It's owners, when they first
reported it n week ago is entirely war
ranted. The Argus, the next claim
north, is owned by DIR. j. II. Owings,

OuININE OvERCOATs.

Few people have any idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
a quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
of tie year overcoats are out of season,
ano he question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st, Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to G. M. Pratt, G. T. & P.
A., Minneapolis.

TRACYS ORDER.
The Secretary of the Navy Officially An
nounccs admiral Porter's Death

The Secretary of the Navy 0ficially An
nounccs Admiral Porter's Death.
WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-The following
order was issued by Secretary Tracy
during the forenoon: 1.-THE secretary Of
the navy has the painful duty of an
nouncing the death Of the highest officer
in the service. David Dixon Porter. ad-
miral OF the navy, died at Washing ton,
D. c., at o'clock a. M. in the 18th year
of his age. Sixty years Of Admiral Por-
ter's life were devoted to the service of
his country. The records of his deeds
form one Of the brightest pages in it's
history. His achievements while in
command Of the mortar fotilla at the
attack Of the New Orleans forts of the
Mississippi squadron. at the fall of
Vicksburg and of the North Atlantic
squadron at the capture of Fort Fisher
have given him place among the fore
most of the worlds naval.commanders
He dies lamented by the whole country,
and his memory will ever be cherished
and held in honor by the service.
On the day of the funeral the navy de-
partment will be closed, the flag will be
displayed at half mast at all navy wards
and stations, and on board all shins in
commission, and seventeen minute guns
will be fired at noon from each navy
yard. The navy department will be
draped, and all officers of the navy and
marine corps will wear the badge of
mourning for thirty days.

A GENERAL PROTEST.

The rank inconsistencies and de-
pressing, not to say ruinous, proyis-
ions embodied in the Currier railroad
bill are having the effect of drawing
out strong protests to it's passage
from several quarters. A petition
against it's passage was recently circu-
lated in Mankato and received large
number of signers, but at the time
the bill was not fully understood and
many declined to put themselves on
record until they could inform them
selves of the more Objectionable feat
ures. From the Winona Republican we
learn that similar paper is being
circulated in that city, and this is
what the Republican says:
This bill, as has been heretofore no.
ted, is substantially a copy of the
Iowa law, the working of which has
proved so unsatisfactory in that
State, while to it Mr.. Currier has adj
ded certain provisions which are like
ly to prove still more obnoxious to the
business interests of Minnesota in the
event of its passage. The railroad
laws of this State doubtless need to
be perfected in some of their details
recent decisions of the United States
Supreme Court render this impera-
lively necessary-but as a people,
whether the agricultural or the COM
mercial interests of the State be con-
sidered, we can i'll afford to commence
any new crusade upon those agencies
of transportation which, with all the
faults and delinquencies of their own
ers, have contributed more than
aught else to the upbuilding and the
present material prosperity of Mime
sofa. The Currier bill, at least, is
one of the things that the State does
not want.

REDUCED EXPRESS RATES.

By an arrangement just perfected with the
different express lines, we are now enabled, by
preparing charges, to deliver small packages to
any point at pro rata of one hundred pound
rate mo charges being less than twenty five cts ]
For example: The one hundred pound rate to
Helena or Butte is 500; by this arrangement
a five pound package will be carried for thirty
five cents. Hereafter we shall send all pack
ages weighing in excess of one pound, by this
method, unless otherwise directed. 1t is cheap
err than by mall and much more reliable
Northeastern Printer.
Here, then, is step in the right
direction; but why cannot the express
companies make this rule apply gener-
ally and not in special cases. The
rate, for instance, from St. Paul to
Mankato is $1.00 per hundred on mer-
chandise, but a package weighing over
81 pounds is 80 cents or nearly 10 cents
per pounds. A package exceeding 10
pounds is 45 cents. The unequal and
extortionate rates charged for pound
packages, I. e. for merchandise weigh
ing from three to twenty pounds is
what the public objectsto. If the eX-
press company cancarry parcel weigh
ing 100 pounds at cent per pound,
it can certainly carry parcel weigh
ing pounds for p cents per pound,
for it has hundred Of these to one of
greater weight. This is precisely the
point that the newspapers of the State
have been contending for. From the
extract quoted above, it will be seen
that five pound package can be car
ried 1855 miles, the distance from st.
Paul to Helena, for the same price
that is now charged from ST. Paul to
Mankato, distance of so miles!
Here is pointer for some enterpris-
ing member of the legislature who
would like to do the people service.

of his death. Although it cane sud
denly, his death was not unexpected by
the family.
The flags on the executive mansion
and departments, which during The past
month have SO often been flying at half
mast for the death of government Off
Gals, by direction Of the president have
again been placed at half mast for the
death of Admiral Porter. They will re-

Funeral Services "Wednesday.
Secretary Tracy promptly visited the
family and conferred with them in re-
gard to the funeral arrangements. It
was settled that the funeral should take
place Wednesday from his late resi-
dence, and he will he buried at Airing
ton cemetery with the highest military
honorS.
Admiral David Dixon Porter was born
at Chester, Delaware county, Pennsyl-
vania, June 3, 1918, studied in Columbia
college, Washington, in 1884; accompanied
mis- father, Commodore David Porter, in
the John Adams to suppress piracy in tie
west AndleS; was appointed mIdShlpm9n
in the Mexican navy and served under his
cousin, Capt. David Fl. Porter, in the
Guerrero, which sailed from Vera Cruz in
1897. Porter was appointed midshipman
in the United States navy in 1929 and lieu
tenant in 184l; In 1S45 he was
appointed to the naval observatory
at Washington. He served during
the Mexican war and was engaged
in every ACTION on the coast. Ee then went
to California and commanded California
mail steamers between San Francisco and
Panama. At the beginning of the civil
war he commanded the steam frigate
Powhatan at Pensacola. On April 49, 1861
he was appointed commander, and was
placed in command of the mortar feet
assisting Farragut in the bombardment of
Forts jackson and st. Phillip, below New
Orleans, also at New Orleans and Vicks-
burg. He became acting rear admiral in
September, 1862, rear admiral in 1863. In
command of the Atlantic squadron in
1864, he took part in the bombardment of
Fort Fisher, at the mouth of Cape Fear
river. Porter received the thanks Of con-
gress for this service. He was made vice
admiral in 1865, and on Aug Is, 1870 was
promoted to the rank of admiral Of the
navy, which position he has held continu
ously ever since Admiral Porter is the
author Of several books, and was the orig
inator Of q peculiar type OF gunboat of
which, however, none have yet been built.

No piece Of legislation proposed by
our legislators at st. Paul meets
with more general approval than the
bill now pending for the raising Of
the age OF consent on the part of fe-
males. The only objection that can
be raised to the bill is that it does
not place the age high enough. Four
teen years, as proposed, is much more
in accord with good sense, but eigh-
teen years is better. Nothing but
the most thorough carelessness has
let this matter rest so long, and the
present legislature should remove this
reproach from the face of our stat
utes. The idea of fixing the age of
consent al ten years must have been
suggested by some one seriously in
different to the gravity of this ques-
ton. A girl is not allowed by law to
make binding contracts with refer
ence to property interests until she
has reached the age of eighteen years,
and it is Drep0sterous to assume that
she should beany more capable of con-
senting to the surrender of that which
is really more precious to her, in
every known sense, than mere
lucre, her virtue and honor, be-
fore she reaches that age. 1t were
just as creditable to remove this safe
guard Of a girls honor entirely, as to
leave it at the childish age of ten
years, and il is to be hoped that the
legislature will act on the bill, hut
not until tits amended by fixing the
age at eighteen, or, at least, sixteen.
