that the relief they seek from the ills which

be some surprising results in the next gen.

UNPLEAsANT FAcTs.-Facts are stub
born things, and sometimes very unwel-
come things.
The Lynchburg News says "the rather
unpleasant factappears that the customs
receipts for the month of May, 1891, fell off
more than So, 900, 900, as compared with
May, 1890, and that the internal revenue
receipts for the same period fell off more
than 81, 900. 900, or total falling off of
more than $4,000, 900 in income in a single
month. But the still more unpleasant fact
appears that the expenses of the Govern
ment for the same time were increased ST.
500, 900, making odds against the federal
treasury of $11, 5OO.O 600. At this rate of
loss each month in the year the sum total
would be s13S 900, 900, which would Ger
tainly leave a depleted treasury, and the
nation more in debt than heretofore. Such
facts as these cannot fail to open the eyes
Of the people and make them hold the pres
eat profligate administration to fearful &C
countability in 1899.
There 10 another serious fact in this con.
pection that should not fail to impress itself
upon the minds of the people, and that is
that the enormous amount expended by the
Billion Congress at the last session is a tax
of SS per head on every man, woman, and
child in the United States! Is it any won

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. PROCESS

r. B. Turner, manager of the
Revenue mine, has let contract for
the erection of twenty stamp thirty
ton mill to treat the ores produced
from the Revenue. The mill will
be worked by the Macarthur Forrest
cyanide of potassium process, which
is said to effect total saving of 03
per cent on ores worked by this
method. Mr.. Turner reports that
the Revenue is building a new shaft
house and that the Hon. w. NJ. .Tay-
lor, of Denver is heavily interested
in many of the mines Of that locality.
Mr.. Turner, writing to the com
pany owing the process, says: ut
gives me pleasure to announce to
you that the different tests made by
me at your mill in Denver, and also
at yonr company's mill in Montana,
have been most satisfactory and far
above my expectations.
"On the carload of ore treated in
Denver you saved 81 per cent and
on number of tests made in Mon
tana by me on our ore 81 per cent
was We, caught. It, Having adopted your
stamp mill with all possible speed.
''In our amalgamating process,
which is being thrown out, we saved
q per cent on the plates and tables
and 20 per cent more ON blankets
and in slime tanks. This last 20
per cent was of no value to us, hav-
ing no market for concentrates of
their value with 81 per cent silica,
but with your process the production
can be shipped to market in shape of
bullion.
"Tho McArthur-Forrest process is
simple, and, outside of the cost of
cyanide of potassium used, is no
more expensive than cost of treat
ment by stamps and plates. Your
process is the only one out of large
number examined by me that I can
recommend for saving gold in base
gold Ores"
That this is an age of progress is
nowhere more thoroughly demon
strated than in the improvements
made in the reduction of ores.-Min-

FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS,

An important decision on the min
eral land question was received at
the local land office yesterday from
Thomas H. Carter, commissioner of
the general land office at Washing
ton, ID. G. The decision is in the
case of the Northern Pacific railroad
company VS.. r. P. Barden ct al, in
volving the title to large tract of
land about two miles west of Helena.
The land in question lies within the
grant to the Northern Pacific. The
railroad company filed it's accept
ance of the lands in 1886, and
Messrs Barden ct al located the land
as mineral in 1889, and proceeded
to sink shafts and extract ore. The
railroad company contested the rights
of Barden ct al in the local land
office and won, but the case was ap-
pealed to the general land commits
sioner, who now decides that the
land is mineral in character, and that
the claim of the defendant is valid.
A suit between the same parties
and involving the same land was de-
cided by the late Judge Sawyer last
summer in favor of the railroad COM
pany, his decision being based on the
theory that all land within the rail-
road company's grant, not known to
be mineral at the time the selection
of lands was made belonged to the
railroad company. Judge Knowles
dissented from the opinion of Judge
Sawyer and the case is now pending
in the United States Supreme court.
The decision of Commissioner Car
ter has greatly encouraged those
having mineral claims on land
claimed by the railroad in this state

Gently been introduced on the Com
stock lode with great efficiency. In
conveying water in fumes to the
mouth Of the shaft and allowing it
to fall to the level of the Sutro Tun-
mel, force equal to $50 pounds to
the square inch was obtained, but
the problem was to transfer this
power from the tunnel level, where
it was not wanted, to the stamp mill
where it could take the place of
steam.
The electric motors that were used
to convey this Power from a point
1000 feet below the surface to the
mills on the surface showed a loss of
about 40 per cent, the horse power
obtained amounting to 435.
With steam as a motive power it
