Lead and Smelling Industries,

The report Of Charles Kirchhof, special
agent of the census bureau, on the lead,
zinc and smelling industries of the United
States is very interesting. as it settles in
an official way the question as to the differ
snce IN the price paid for labor by the
Montana smelling companies and those of
ther states. According to the report the
veraRe daily wages for foreman in smelt-
rs in Montana is $500; mechanics, "A. 80:
.aborers, S2.57. In Colorado. foreman,
$4.l7; mechanics, $3.57; laborers, 2.52;
boys, 7b cents. In Utah, foremen, 1 3.5S:
mechanics, $3.o3; laborers, $2.l2. In the
eastern srneltels and retineries the differ
ence Is greater, as the following shows:
toremen, $2.3l per day; mechanics, Sl.94;
laborers, $l.47; boys. 80 cents.

Prosperous Deer Lodge.

John r. Quigley, of Blackfoot. was in
Helena yesterday. lie is one of the old
timers in Deer Lodge county, and is always
posted on everything going on there. Speak
ing Of the outlook for the year, he says that
every industry will prosper. The ranch
men will have good crops, while the grass is
better than he has seen it for five years. As
to placer mines they will yield much moro
this year than for several previous seasons.
properties which have not been worked for
soms years are being operated and also be-
cause the season will be longer than for
some time. Mr.. Quigley brought in with
him some dust from the Three Mile ~plscers,
and also some from his own claim, the Hi
nois, which he has been working since 1880.
The Carpenter Bar placers, owned by St.
Paul people, will probably clean up $40, 600
or $25,0O this year. S.. Word and some Cal
ifornla gentlemen, who have had a bond on
placer claims in Washington, Jefferson and
American bars, are now there looking over
ne ground preparatory to closing the deal.
The bond Is for S60,00 and the property
IN question is reckoned among the best in
the country. They have been worked since
1865, and many thousands have been taken
out. Speaking of the Three Mile placers,
Mr.. Quigley says all the gold is coarse, and
the indications are that it comes from a
mother vein somewhere in the vicinity.
The quartz mines about Blacktoot are
also looking well. The Denver, owned by
Allen, Boyce and Parle, show some excel
lent gold and silver bearing orc. The Fair
view, owned by Paulson Bros, with twenty
feet OF development, shows wire and ruby
silver. Downer a. Pierce also have a eood
prospect near the town. The Little Daisy,
on Carpenter, and the Cyclone, on Tiger,
are likewise promising properties. Tho
drawback to the development of the quartz
properties ia that the owners are men of
limited means, and despite the excellent
showing they make, it has been difficult
heretofore to interest capital. Recently,
however. their merits have attracted the
attention of outsiders, and there lisa chance
of sufficient capital coming in before the
season closes to prove just what the mines
are.

Among the few reasons why the
legislature should not enact a law
requiring the publication of all gem
eral laws IN newspapers. about the
best one is that 1t would decrease
the violations Of the law and there's
by lessen tho business Of the law
yers. The same argument would
apply against having half million
copies Of the acts Of the General
Assembly printed and placed in the
hands Of heads of families. The
people would know too much about
the law and would of course not be
so apt to get into trouble by violating
it, and many fees would thus be
lost to the lawyers, but saved to the
people, Woodruff County Vidette.

going to do with the statement that
there are very few lawyers in this

YOUR MOTHER.

Honor your dear aged mother
Time has scattered snowfakes on
her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheeks, bat she is sweet and
beautiful yet. The lips are thin and
sunken, but those are the lips that
have kissed many a hot tear from
childish cheeks, and those are the
sweetest lips in all the world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows with
soft radiance of holy love whica can
never fade. All, yes, she is a dear
old mother. The sands, of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
she will go further and reach down
lower for you than al! others on
earth. You cannot walk into q mid.
night where she cannot walk; into a
prison whose wall will keep her out; !;
you cannot mount Scaffold too high
for her to reach, that she may kiss
you and bless you in evidence of her
deathless love. When the world
despises and forsakes, when it leaves
you by the wayside to die unnoticed,
the dear good mother will gather
you in her feeble arms and carry you
home, and tell you eff all your
virtaes until you almost forget
your soul is disfgured by vice. Love
her tenderly and cheer her declining
years with holy devotion. Selected.

No woman will love a man better

Though he be the first among men,
she will be prouder, not fonder; as is
often the case she will not even be

flee she will not make for his con-
tent and comfort. The man who
,,aves her well Is her hero and king

TIL RECORD.
E. G. HENDERSON. Editor
Palmer Elected.

Last Tuesday Gen. John VI. Palm
er was elected by the Illinois legis-
lature to the United States Senate,
after a contest of eight weeks. Two
of the three Alliance men, Moore
and Cockerell, voted for Palmer,
giving him lOs votes.
The republicans, just before the
final ballot was cast, held a caucus
and sent for Representative Moore
and offered him tie solid Republican
vote of 100, if he and his two con-
ferees, Cockerell and Taubeneck,
would join them, but Moore said he
had waited eight weeks for the Re-
publican support and it had come
too late. He would vote for Palmer.
For a few minutes after Moore
and Cockerell had answered "John
NJ. Palmer" when the Speaker call
ed their names in the Assembly the
Democratic shouts and cheers that
reverberated through the Capitol
were deafening. After slight lull
they were renewed, and it was two
minutes before order could be re-
stored.
The Republicans remained silent
when 1t became apparent that Gen.
Palmer was the nominee. 1t was
with difficulty that Speaker Crafts
restrained the Democrats from their
outbursts of applause, and as he an
nounced the result of the ballot the
applause and cheers were deafening.
