OuR New York correspondent tele-
graphs some interesting news regarding
the intentions OF the Parrott Mining
company. 1t appears that the directors
OF this great corporation have been
called to a meeting in that city to Q II
slider the question Of a location for a
smelter and refining works. Great Falls
and Livingston, it is understood, are the
points now under discussion for the site.
What has become of the Missouri River
Power company? Why doesn't it get
into the list of competitors II endeavor
to secure the location Of this great es
adjustment on the banks of the Mis-
souri, river, at the point where the dam
is to be built? 1t can offer an mex
haust,ble water power, splendid build
ing sites, unparalleled facilities for trans
portation by means Of a connection with
the Northern Pacific railway. The pro-
ducts OF the mine when shipped to a re-
finery at this point would be that far on
their way to eastern markets. Every
conceivable advantage can be offered to
the Parrott company to locate on the
Missouri river opposite Helena.
Why not move for it, and at once?
Gentlemen of the Missouri River
Power company, here is the opportunity
of a life time. Go for it!

THE RATE ON ORES.
How the Railroads Favor Idaho Miners-A
Scalpers' Trust.

How the Railroads Favor Idaho Miners-A
ScaIpers' Trust.
The railroads have recently increased the
tariff on ore from the Ceur d'Alene coun-
try to Denver, Kansas City, Pueblo and
Omaha. Referring to the increase, a promi'
nent mining man says: "There was an I'M
derstanding between the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific railways at the outset
that the rates should be about the same as
they are now. But by a misunderstanding
the Northern Pacific made a low rate, and
the Union Pacific had to meet it. To
Kansas City. Omaha and Aurora rates were
started at SIG per ton, and to Denver $14,
if the ore ran over 40 per cent On ore that
ran under 40 per CEN the rate was $12 per
ton to Omaha and Kansas City, and $40 to
Denver. The companies lad virtually
agreed to make the rate 80 per ton
higher, but the Northern Pacific
company saw a reason to drop
the rate. and the Union Pacific did the
same. Both roads were dissatisfied with
the rates, and toward the end OF 1880 they
made arrangements to raise all rates on
both high and low trade ores 81 a ton. The
companies announced their intention to the
smelling companies, and with the exception
of one or two contracts which were made
before the railroad companies made the ar
rangements all contracts made by the
smelters were made with full knowledge of
the expected rise in rates, and the differ
ence, of course, comes out of the miner.
No other mining country i'll the west is as
much favored with freight rates as the
Ceur d'Alenes."

Few men have contributed more to
the enjoyment of their fellow men than
Phineas L. Barnum, who passed away
yesterday at a ripe old age. The whole
world knew the sunny-faced and genial
Snowman. The grandfathers of the
children of to-day were his patrons and
YARN admirers when he humbugged and
delighted them in the old museum in
New York, and the succeeding genera
tions. who have visited "the greatest
show OF EARTH" have all treasured in
their hearts the warmest friendship for
their royal entertainer. Mr.. Barnum
vas a public benefactor in his way and
did much to elevate and refine the class
of exhibitions he gave. He eliminated
obscenity and vulgarity from the per-
Torrance, enforced rigid temperance
rules among his men and in every way
aimed to give the public harmless
amusement and useful instruction.
Peace to his ashes!

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator George f.
Edmunds, OF Vermont. who has been in the
senate OF the United States since April,
1866. and who in nearly if not quite all of
that time has lesn one of the republican
leaders, has resigned, to take effect the first

A Scalpers' II

A ticket brokers' trust has been formed
in Denver. The agreement binding them
together went into effect a few days ago.
Its conditions are very strict. Each broker
signing the agreement pays into the treas
ury $50. and this is to be forfeited in case
any rates are cut. A schedule of prices for
tickets to the principal cities of the United
States has been adopted and there will be
no variation therefrom. Chicago tickets
will cost S2S in all cases, Kansas City SIG,
etc. The mileage rates will remain the
same as usual. The officers of the ~associa-
ton are: Il. Il. Shields, president; g. G.
Bishop, secretary; Peter Summons, treasurer.
Not all the brokers in Denver have as yet
signed the agreement. but it is expected all
those who do any amount of business will
go into it. The brokers say they made the
move for self-protection. They also think
it will be of benefit to the public, because
the tickets they dispose of will be reliable.
AS the prices will be uniform there will be
no competition except with the railroads
themselves, and, of course, the brokers can
give the lower rates in hat case. Hereto
fore tickets have been sold for what they
would bring, when the limit became very
short, but this will not be allowed in the
future. The agreement is binding until
Jan l. next, and it will then DO renewed il
found beneficial.

If Uncle George Frisbie Hoar should

latter state the other day, Davis, the
democratic candidate for governor, had
a handsome plurality but, because some
thing over 1000 scattering votes we're
cast, Ladd, the defeated republican can
didate, secures an election at the hands
Of a republican legislature. 1t is strange
that those hard-headed yankees have Sc

New York Central's Communication Plan

New York Central's Communication Plans.
The reduction made by the New York
Central April l in the price of Communication
tickets is attracting general attention in
railway circles. The amount of the reduc-
ton is shown by comparing the old and
new rates: For example, n monthly book
between New York and White Plains, good
for fifty-two rides, now costs 1915 for the
first month, $3.50 for the second month,
$3.50 for the third month, and graduated
down to S4.05 for the twelfth month, the
rate per rid for the year being about 13c.
The new tickets will be sold at an even rate
of $685. per month, an average rate per
ride of only 1019c. Take, for instance, n
man spending the months of July and
August at White Plains and visiting the
city every day. Under the old system his
Communication would cost him for tho two
months $19.05; under the new Sl2. 20, a
saving of $6.35-quite a considerable reduc-
ton. The New York Central is using eff
fective means to develop its suburban bust
ness. II has recently instituted a popular
system of family commutation, also re-
duced rates for school children and teach
ers and low rate individual Communication
