MANUFACTURES OF TIN PLATE.

The New York Press i'm a recent issue
devotes nearly a page in giving a de-
scription OF the process OF making tin
plate, and shows that America has
sent $500, O00, 900 to England for tin
plate i'm the past twenty-five years.
Under the stimulus of the Mckinley
bill it is proposed to check this flow OF
money to enrich British manufactur.
ers and make our own tin plate.
Although the provisions of the new
tariff that apply to tin plate do not
become operative until July LIST, Ameri-
can tin plate is already On the market,
The Bourbon ''tin plate lars will tel
you that tin plate cannot be made in
this country because we produce no
block tin-have no tin mines. We
publish an extract from the article to
| show the utter falsehood of the state.
ment:
Before entering upon any detailed dis
cussion of the subject, perhaps it would be
as well to first define tin. Tin, pig tin, Oh
block tin, as it is sometimes called, il al
one and the same thing. 1t is a metal as
distinctive in it's character as lead, zinc Oh
copper and is found in most parts OF the
world in greater or less quantities. The
greater part Of the pig tin OF commerce
however, comes from around the Straits ol
Malacca and Australia. 1t is also mined
to some extent in England, but this tin is
not extensively used in the manufacture ol
tin plate, owing to it's combination with
other minerals. 1t is found, too, quite
commonly in many parts OF the United
States, notably in Virginia. Dakota and
California, where mines are already being
developed and in one instance, at least, pil
tin is being produced. 1t is confidently eN'
pected that these mines will be sufficiently
developed in q short time to produce large
quantities. The metal tin itself is rather
light in weight and lacks toughness. 1t is
principally used as an alloy or in combina'
lion with other metals. 1t comes to this
country direct, and as there is no duty on
il, the price here is the same as in London
You will observe that though Eng.
land manufactures the bulk OF the
worlds supply of tin plate it uses but
a small portion OF its native tin. The
metal itself is light in weight, enters
this country free OF duty and the price
in New York is the same as in London.
What does this mean2 1t means that
the metal tin itself cuts but a small
figure in the manufacture OF tin plate.
Says the writer: ''Tin plate, or more
properly timed plate, is merely sheet
iron or steel coated with tin by I'M
mersing the carefully prepared sheets
in the moulten metal. As this thinning
is comparatively a simple matter, you
will see that the principal part OF the
cost is in the preparation and produc-
ton OF the blank sheet OF iron or
steel"
There are already twelve large firms
and corporations engaged in the manu-
facture of tin plate and there are more
to follow. This means the keeping of
millions of dollars in this country and
the employment OF thousands OF men,
while the cost of the manufactured
article to will not he per-
ceptibly enhanced.

Angus Mcmillan of Bea yer creek has pur-

Mr.. William Davis and family, consisting
Of wife and FIVE children, arrived at upper
Cottonwood on Thursday. Mr.. Davis
brings a band OF cattle and expects to To-

Mrs. katherine McGinn has decided to
visit Wisconsin, her native state, after
which she will go on to California and prob
ably locate in that land of sunshine and
flowers. Cottonwood will be quite lost
without Mrs. McGinn, her home being the
center of attraction for a host of young
people. We wish her bon voyage.

Fergus County Agricultural, Mineral and
Stock Association.

Articles OF incorporation for the
above named association have beer
drafted and a copy sent to the secre'
tary OF state and another placed on
file in the county clerks Office. -Four
thousand dollars worth OF stock hav-
ing been disposed of-all that was
placed on sale-the next thingin order
is a meeting of t~hetrustees to elect Off
GERS and draft bylaws for the govern.
ment of the association. Such a meet
ing, we understand, will be called this
week. The trustees named in the arti-
cles OF incorporation are: ID. Nj. Crow,

Chandler, n. NJ. Erickson, w. w. DE
Witt, +. E. Smith, f. F.. Hersey and

terprise have every reason to feel
elated over the rapid disposition
made of the stock and the interest
manifested in the undertaking by the
substantial citizens of the county.
There is no reason why an exhibition
cannot be given in September if the
work is pushed along energetically.

The Homestake in the Black Hills is
one Of the standard gold producing
mines of the world, says an exchange.
For fourteen years the company has
never missed paying a dividend, and
each month from Sl50,0OO to $780,
900 in gold is taken out. The vein is
800 feet wide and about two miles in
length, and there is enough ore in sight
to keep all the mills busy for the next
twenty years. Yet Prof. Winchell,
stat geologist of Minnesota, after a
survey OF the Black Hills country, in
1876, made a report to the effect that
while he found traces OF gold and silver
in that region he did not think enough
would ever be found to amount to
anything. Prospectors discover gold
and silver, not biologists.

Postmaster General Wanamaker
says he was greatly impressed with
the necessities of the Northwest for
better mail facilities by his trip with
the President, and that he will do
everything in his power to give this
entire country a better mail service.
1t is a good thing for our statesmen to
take a trip through the west occasion
ally, and that Brother Wanna
maker is in a CHEEKY mood it might be
we'll to drop a few petitions in the slot
for better mail servicein Ferguscounty.
Settlers north of the Judith range
should call Brother Wanamaker's
attention to the scriptural passage
which says "Ask and it shall be given
unto you" A tri-weekly mail between
Lewistown and the Flat Willow coun-
try is a great necessity and those to be
benefited should take action while the
postmaster general is chock full OF
GOOD intentions toward the west.

Our Democratic friends are not so
confident OF carrying everything before
them next year as they were a few
months ago. Just now they are doing
for their sins OF the Annanias
sort in the last campaign, which time
has fully shown up, Just as the Repub-
lican speakers and editors told the
people it would. A political victory
won under false p%retenses is always
dearly bought and sure to prove a
boomerang. Truth and honesty, in
politics as in private business, are
necessary to permanent success. By
the time the Presidential campaign
opens the intelligent democrat will
blush for shame everytime anybody
says mckinley BILL" Some of them
do already.

Indifferent enough to allow Great Brit

acy in the republics OF South and
Central America, but the lethargy of
indifference has now been shaken of,
and in its place is a determination to
have what belongs to us-political and

The Commercial has refrained from
mixing up in the controversy be-
tween Sam Small and Mr.. Hill, as it
has seemed largely a personal matter.
But the vindictive blast from Small
yesterday members it necessary that
this paper take a hand.
In the first place, it can be fairly
declared, as a general proposition,
that no man of true manly character
and genuine worth would even have
sent out such a mess of malicious
gasconade as that, 1t marks Small
as a man wholly unworthy of the
presidency of any university,
More particularly. When Small
assaults the trustees, with Mr.. Hill,
and charges them with being a set Of
scheming swindlers, who have been
trying to defraud the public with the
university as scheme, he attacks
Ogden and all its people, and in doing
so he not only brands himself a liar,
