CITIZEN TRAINS suggestion as to
how murdeTers should be punished is
anexeelIept one: And. unlike many of
hiszlleass It appears thoroughly prae-
ticable. Instead of executing the
taker of human life or eonsigning him
to lifelong idleness in penitentiary,
Citizen Train would sentence him to
hard labor for the remainder of his
days and bestow the surplus profits of
his toll upon the family of the nearest
kin of his victim. Thus at one stroke
the citizen would abolish the barbar-
ism of capital punishment, compensate
to some extent the relatives of the
murdered person and really infiet
heavier penalty than death upon the
murderer.

that tickets would be on sale for the a.. q.

with final limit Of thirty days, transit limit
in each direction ten days. About the time
tho Workmen meet in Helena the Knights
Templar have their annual gathering in

to Denver q chance to see Helena and
Montana generally, the association made a
rate of $50 from Missouri river points n

and returning via the Northern Pacific.
Those tickets will be limited t. fifteen days
in either direction, and the final limit will
probably be thirty days. The Knights

was located more than five years ago. The
lead has been opened in several places. In
each good ore Was encountered. The work
ines consist of q shaft and tunnels. The
former has been sunk to a depth of fifty
feet, and one of the latter has been ex-
tended seventy feet. Th vein lieg between
lime and %porphyry, and is chiefly composed
of manganese of iron. Scattered through
it are punches of mineral that assay about
sixty ounces in silver and AZ per cent. in
lead. The owners of this property are pre-
pairing to prosecute development, and ex-
pect to continue it all winter
The proprietorg of the RATHER have Just
finished the erection of a house over their
working shaft, which has attained a depth
OF sixty feet. In the bottom OF it is exposed
three feet Of carbonates. They have also
uncovered ths vein on the surface for Il dis
tance of 300 feet. 1t is the purpose of the
owners OF tins property to continue develop

situated between two we'll defined granite
walls. The lead in its descent has steadily
increased in value from the surface. Al
that point the ore body was about twenty
inches in width. When a depth of sixty feet
was attained an average assay was made of
the mineral taken from the whole face of
the vein. which gave q return of $50 in value

The Rock Island Surveying Extensions
Southwark in Its Territory.
Two engineering corps from the Rock

territory with a view to the early extension
Of the road to some point in Texas. Sew
eral of tho Rock Island officials think that
the objective point is Dallas, but this mat
ter will not be definitely settled until the
meeting or the directors in New York.
There are several lines surveyed already,
and the parties at work now will finish two
or three other routes That they are now
working on, and then the plan and estimate
of all will be sent on to New York for the
directors to choose from. One railroad
man says he feels quite sure that the road
would be built as far as Palestine, which is
about 100 miles beyond Dallas, or about $50
from Minco, the present terminus Of the
road in the Indian territory. One thing Is
certain, and that is that the road will have
to do some building at least during the
next month. Their charter provides that
at least twenty-five miles of track must be
laid each year in the territory, and it is not
likely the road would extend the line that
much farther into the comparatively unset
tied country.
