Knows Him Better Now.

C.L. Smith had the temerety to ex-
pose himself to the perils OF a joint
debate with ex. Gov. Donnelly at
Marshall last week with the result
that might naturally be expected.
Our Marshall correspondent says:
"a Joint debate was held at this
place on June %. between Hon. lg-
natius Donnelly and c. L. Smith,
which resulted in. a crushing defeat
for the latter. Mr.. Smith was unable
to cope with his distinguished anita
eonist and failed utterly to ans~ er
any of the charges gainst the repub-
lican party made by Mr.. Donnelly.
Figuratively speaking Donnelly
mopped the floor with him. lie
claims to have known Donnelly for
20 years-but he knows him better
now.
Smith said a mortgage was sign
OF prosperity, and Mr.. DonneIly
showed the audience about 400 OF
these republican prosperity signs in
the shape of foreclosure notices il
one weeks issue of two newspapers
published in the state.
Smith failed to use his last ten
minutes to answer and was cOnsid'
erd by his own friends, as a canvass
of their views showed, knocked
OUT in every round. Several OF the
old soldiers, a large number of whom
were present, expressed themselves

RUBY Consolidated Assessment-The Car
Donate Extension.

uuhv Consolidated Assessment-The Car
Donate Extension.
The fact that the Ruby Consolidated has
levied assessment No. 8, says the New
Northwest, leads to the conclusion That
work may shortly be resumed on this, ono
of the most promising properties IN ORC
Elmo district. The Ruby claim, belonging
to the company. is developed to the $40
level, and as it's showing at that depth is
ia amply sufficient to warrant further ana
extensive work, and in view Of the further
fact that the mine is equipped with a splen-
did hoist and all the accessories OF a first-
class surface plant. there is every reason TO
believe the trustees will order work resumed
at an early day.
The ore chute in the Carbonate Extension
narrowed down to a pretty fine point dur
ing the past week, but word has been re-
ceived that it had widened out to ten or
twelve inches. Samples that followed
proved the ore to be of good grade, though
no assays nave yet been made, and If the
continuity of the pay streak is maintained
the Extension will rave developed an I'M
mediate shipping proposition.
The diamond drills in the Rl-Metallic
Extension, says the PhilipsburR Mail. are
being run southwark in the hope of discoy-
ering another vein. So far, however, they
have made no discoveries Of any import
ance. AS soon as they get through pos
peoting with the diamond drills they will
put men to work crosscutting to the north
leads. It is impossible. is is said. to put
men to work prosecuting while the drills
are deing run, as tho steam used in the
operation of the drills makes it unbearably
hot-so much so that it would be next to
impossible for men to work. II is not
known definitely when drilling will be
discontinued and prospecting commenced.

PASSED ITS DIVIDENDS.
The Granite Mountain Will not Divide
Profits This Month Among
Stockholders.
Low Price of the White Metal the
Cause Of tho Boards
Action.
No Diminution In tho Output-News of the
Deer Lodge Mines-In tho
Coeur d'Alenos.

At the monthly meeting Of the directors
of this Granite Mountain Mining company
at st. Louis March 30, the dividend was
passed. The proceeding was q great sur
prise, as it was fully expected that some
sort of a dividend would be declared. This
principal reason given for this action on
the part Of the directors is the heavy ex-
pense at the minc and present low price OF
silver. 1t is claimed, however, that the di-
r%ectors were so confident OF the passage of
the free coinage bill and q rise in the prioo
of silver, which has been lower than ever
before in its history, that they have been
holding their bullion With the result that
when the time came for declaring the rsgu-
lar monthly dividend it was found that
there was not sufficient none on hand to
pay a full 20-cent dividend, and. therefore,
decided that it would be wiser to pass it
entirely. Il is also claimed that there was
considerable opposition to this deeislon,
but as a majority Of the board were in favor
of it, it passed. @"5&z @ %H5
Tbs output from the mine has not de-
creased, as many suppose, the bullion ship
ments which are made semi-weeklv amount
ing to about $4,000 ounces per week. Bat
the low price Of silver the past year has out
down the revenue from the mine enor-
mously, and it is claimed the receipts from
the sale Of bullion have averaged $4,000
less every month during the past year.
Last year the oompany received SSl04.6 per
ounce tor all the silver sold, but the past
year, owing TO the steady decline, the price
has been very much less.
Since the Granite Mountain ompany
commenced the payment Of dividends il
April, 1885, they have been compelled to
pass but two dividends, the present one and
one Of Is cents in November, 1886. when the
expenses in building mill Is were so great
that she directors thought it advisable to
Yosa thar dividend. Since that time, al
thonph the amount paid stockholders has
eeveral times been cut down, they have
never found occasion to pass q dividend.
The amount paid to stockholders by this
company in the past seven years reaches
the magnificent total of $l1, $4,000.
There was great interest taken IN the de-
liberations of the directors BY stockholoers
and brokers residing in st. Louis, and the
longer they remained IN session the more
anxious the walters became. AT the open
ING Of the market $14.5O was bid ana Sl5.5O
asked. The frs. sale of thlrty-hve shares,
however. was at $14.75. the next at Sl4.5O,
and lust before the announcement was
made that no dividend was to be palu sales
Were made at S14.25. Later, when the
became public, the best bid was Sl3.oO and
the stock had sellers at S14.

Strike III the Mammoth-Rich Orc In the
Custer.

Strike In the Nam moth-Rich Orc In the
Custer.
A correspondent of the Coeur d'Alene
Miner, writing of the Mammoth mine at
Burke, says it has not shipped any ore for
some time, and as the ore is there, it is
natural to presume that the same intlu-
ences which stopped shipments at the
other mines also had its effect here. A few
months ago the lead was encountered in
Che lower tunnel, GOO feet from the surface
and 22O feet below the upper tunnel or tun-
mel No. 2. Immediately after the strike n
contract was let to make the raise connect
ing the two unnels Work has been con-
tlnued constantly in the raise and is now
nearing a connection. In tho face of the
lower tunnel there is a fine chuts of rich
carbonate ore. Through it Is g. continuous
strata of black manganese, something en-
tirely new in that country, which carries
over 800 ounces of silver to the ton.
The Mammoth ID now, or will bo when
the raise is completed, III shape to work a
large force of men. Thee tunnels tap the
ore body and will be connected before an
other week passes. In running tine lower
tunnel a Lodge of soft carbonate orc was
cut, separate and distinct from the Nam
moth vein and is generally believed to be
the Little Chap lead, a claim just below
the Mammoth.
before the SnuL uOWn IN she CC1ur
d'Alenss a body of vary rich ore was dis
covered in this Custer mine. Quite a large
quantity of this was sacked and shipped
direct from the mine. In order to open up
this new and exceedingly rich ground an
other raise was started about 100 feet from
the raise connecting with tunnel No. 9 and
toward the surface. This is now up about
100 feet. where a fine ore chute has been
encountered, Upon which a drift is being
run on each side of the raise. In both
drifts there is q fine showing of Galena and
carbonate ore. No ore is being taken out
more than is necessary to make certain
connections to facilitate the operation of
the mine. The showing of ore hers is all
the result of recent developments work,
and, taken in connection. with the Other
development of the mine, puts it in shape
to work q large forcs of men and turn out
an immense amount OF ore.
