sANpERs AND ms roGA.

The subioined interview with the
Butte Miners Washington correspon-
dent will not affect the political situa-
ton to any serious degree, and yet is
interesting at this time. Our distin-
guished townsman, Col. War Horse San
ders, in that effervescent style so we'll
known to all of us, makes the following
horoscope from the Washington end of
the line:
with the populist votes in the Montana
legislature, Il republican can be elected to
succeed me. and l am inclined TO believe
that the populists will vote with the repub-
licans IN the choice of a senator. shall,
of cou Sc, be a candidate, and shall hope
for success up to the last minute. The
democrats cannot easily unite on a man.
but the republicans and populists can easily
unite. ] shall leave here between Christ
mas and New Years day for Helena. That
senatorial toga sha'nt slip away from me
without q struggle"
The colonels prophecies may stir up
the animals in the republican camp but
will create no serious alarm among the
democrats and populists. His political
vision has been distorted so long, his
running qualities have Deer SO thor
oughly tested, and his failure to help
Montana in the United States senate
has been 50 complete rs to cause a gen
eral belief that he will be laid away for
permanent rest on the shelf.
However, there Is no harm in the little
nlutf quoted. The War Horse is emit.
tied to an opinion as we'll as any one
else, and il he thinks he is in it we are
few words of warning at this time may,
nevertheless, save him much annoyance
and cut off another chapter from that
dlsgraceful record of which he is the
author.
He should stick to that seat in the
United States senate until succeeded by
a democrat in March. By doing this he
will show an interest in the business of
the state and keep his hands out OF the
Box Elder mire.
He should not allow his brain to be
turned by the delusion that he can be
sent back to the senate if the conspl-
racy should go through. 1t is time he
knew Of his political death.
Finally, it may be said that if he wants
that old political toga, soiled by fraud
and frayed out at the edges by conspi-
racy, he can have it. Nobody else wants
it, and we do not believe that Col.
Wheeler would even place it among the
curios of the states museum.
The first fairly elected United States
senator from Montana will be clothed in
a clean garment when he begins work
next March.

THE EFFECT ON MINES.
In Colorado and Nevada the Silver
Industry Has Been Effectively
Paralyzsd.
The Entire States Disturbed BY
the Closing Down of Silver
Mines.
Instances of Hardship Wrought bv Dis.
q elimination Against the white Metal
Should 1t Go Lower?

CHICAGO, Dec. "A special from Denver:
Since silver fell to 90, mines have con-
~stantly closing and almost every day report
ia received of some property. large or
small. disoharging men. There are a hun
dred mines not being worked; many of
them are small and the output cuts no
great figure. but the aggregate of persons
thrown out Of employment ia large enough
to exercise material influence on the gem
eral condition Of trade. Colorado would
be on the verge of disaster were it not that
resources other than precious metals have
been developed rapidly during the last
six or eight years. Last year it's aRricul-
tural products exceeded in value its pro-
duct Of gold. silver and lead. but large dis
tricts are yet wholly dependent on mining.
The belief is widespread that if the report
of the Brussels conference is decidedly adj
verse to free coinage there will be another
he avy drop in silver and half the mines
now being worked will be closed. Under
so cents it is not likely that there will be a
dozen purely silver mines in operation.
Banks and stores are preparing to meet the
emergency.
A special from Carson, New, says the
most notable evidence that Nevada is in a
depressed condition from the low market
price of the white metal is the constant de-
population Of towns which a few years ago
produced many thousands of dollars in gold
and silver. Virginia City at one time con-
tanned 10000 people and her annual output
reached millions. A. present the popula-
ton ia 1000. Mines formerly paying mag

Quartz mills IN the Carson river, when sil-
YER was at par, ran 1923 ore stamps. each
with a capacity Of three tons of ore per day.
Now there are about sixty stamps in opera

There is hardly enough bullion to keep the
Carson mint in operation, and Nevada's
small towns arc being deserted.

Given No Significance.

WASHINGTON. Deo. 9.-Treasury officials
attach no special Importance to dispatches
from Denver in regard to the panioky con-
dition of the silver mining interests of Col
orado. The fact that many small mines are
being abandoned is taken to indicate sim
ply that they are played out and can no longer
be worked at a profit. 1t is held that the
recent depreciation of silver in the London
market. and the predicted failure Of the
international conference to advocate q
more liberal use of silver as money. can
have no direct bearing on the present situa-
ton in Colorado, for the reason that silver
has risen in value within the past few days.
The treasury department is paying half q
cent more than on Wednesday.

chased 400. 900 ounces of silver at .S405@

THE Salt Lake Herald says that Hell

residence, We don't know wherein this
suggestiveness lies, but Helena 10 the
best town on earth and Carter Is an able
lawyer and a good citizen. In order
that these pleasant relations between
Helena and Carter may continue, we
hope that he will keep out of the con
spiracy and settle down to his law prac
tice until the voice OF the people again
calls him to the political arena.

NEWARK, o.. Dec. 9.-Durina a meeting

ONE of the curious old laws of New
York is that fixing an inheritance tax of
n per cent on all personal property.
The state treasury under this statute
was enriched by 5750,000 from the es-
tate OF Jay Gould. A similar law in
Montana would help out appropriations,
but would hardly be fair as the people
of Helena would give more than one
half the money.
