Albert Henault came in from the
North Pole mine, Sunday, bringing the
information that the ledge so long sought
for had at last been struck. II was
reached in the main tunnel ofthe North
Pole over 250 feet from the opening, and
about 100 feet below the surface. The
ore looks very rich and to all appear
ances there is plenty oft. The Henault
boys and Fred Russell have owned this
property for ten or twelve years, and
have been doing more or less work on
1t all that time. They certainly deserve
the success with which they are evil

small to work satisfactorily from the
depth obtained. There were thirty men
employed at these mines, who will prob
ably be able to obtain work at some
other property in the vicinity. Devel.
opment work is now confined to three
of the principal mines Of the company
in which seventy men are employed.
Work on the big mill is being pushed,
and it Is rapidly nearing completion.
The first run or product of which is
matter of paramount interest, not alone
to those who are financially interested,
but the entire country. From what the
writer saw last summer, on a visit to
several Of the mines of the company in
the vicinity of Hill City, and from as
says made Oh samples taken from diff
erent parts of the mines, he is satisfied
that tin does exist in paying commercial
quantities in the large and extensive
ore bodies in sight in the numerous
workings, in addition to thousands of
tons on the dumps of the mines now
being Urked.-Times

Rich Darling, of Frank & Darling, re-
turned from Denver on Monday lust to
complete arrangements for the working
Of his cyanide process on Black Hills
ores. They have had made by the
Colorado Iron Works, of Denver, two
steel tanks, FIVE feet high and eight feet
in diameter, both of which arrived here
about week ago. There will certainly
be no trouble from leakage, as happened
with the wooden ones used in the first
experimental tests. Mr.. Darling ex-
poets to be treating ore in about two
weeks.

Alderman Fuller called attention to the
fact that the library tax was only three

called for half a mill. Alderman Lissner
said the city had o to great ex-
renss in putting up a new
library building, and tho taxpayers
should not be pressed too hard. Trustees

the full half-mlll tax, for new books, cata-

The council, passing on his work, had
made it one-quarter Of a mill.
He thought the action Of the council then
clearly illegal. As it was overriding the vote

the legislature. After a sLolt consultation
the committee changed its report so as to
give she library half a mill. This was doue
by taking two-tenths of \ mill from the

What Tariff Reform Means.

Tariff reform means cheap clothes and
good clothes in the place OF the high priced
shoddy which McKinley's tariff on wooden
goods compels three-fourths of the people
to wear; and in this way it means less pneu-
moni and consumption. Tariff reform
means the end of all this can't and hypoc.
risy about the owners of protected manu-
featuring concerns sharing the profits of
protection with their workingmen. It
means that the American farmer shall buy
American agricultural machinery as cheap
as foreigners can buy the same articles. 1t
means overthrow Of the trusts and comb
nations that conspirs to make the neces-
sities of life nrtiicially dear. It means,
among other things. the disruption of the
Irvine trust. which has been this summer
extoftinR from the whsatgtowers two cents
> pound more for harvesting Irvine than
said twine ought to cost.

States tariff reform means a reduction of at

WoRKINGMEN of Montana, can you
afford to keep Benjamin Harrison in
power four years more? He is the mar
who sneered at the cheap chat as mean
ing a cheap mar under the coat. Sena-
tor Vest read in the senate the other
day q letter from a dealer which shows
you how much the luxury of high pro-
lection costs you. SAID the writer:
As an illustration of how the foreign con-
sumner gets the benefit of the reduced prices
in cotton and wool, and how the American
consumer does not, because of the Mckinley
act, ! enclose you a sample of a worsted
coating used very largely for workingmen's
suits. weighing sixteen ounses to the run
ming yard and fifty six inches wide. These
goods cost 10 England, early in 1890. n
cents in American currency per yard. IN
der the old tariff this stuff would cost when
landed here about $1.29 a yard, net. This
same article is purchased to-day in England
at Is cents. Still, under the Mckinley net,
it costs landed here. net, $1.4215S, so that
although wool has decreased and the foreign
consumer gets the benefit of such reduction,
tho American consumer has to pay to-day
~ much. it not more. han he did under

What is the use OF this sort OF policy

WHEN George Epizoic Boos tele-
graphed to the Butte Inter Mountain
that "Foy political reasons The INDIE
PENDENT has created a false impression
as to the Butte communication in the
Journal" he gave fresh evidence of the
truth OF the proverb of Solomon,
"Though thou shouldst bray Il fool in a
mortar yet will not his f%oolishness de-
part from him." The poor, covering
wretch sent the telegram because he
was frightened out of his wits and didn't
know what else to do. He was begging
for mercy from the people Of two cities
whom he had offended and insuited
beyond endurance. All Butte was
ablaze before The INDEPENDENT had
said n word regarding the Journals
article, and The INDEPENDENT has
never thought Of the political effect OF
Boos' monumental stupidity. Heaven
forbid that it should seek to hold any
political party responsible for him! In

distress and have been disposed to draw

MONTANA FARMERS.

Now IL the Time to Get Ready for the
Worlds Fair. ~
The time has now arrived for the farmers
OF Montana to begin to make some effort to
gather together a sample OF the products of
the soil Of our state for exhibition, at the
Worlds Columbian exposition. says the
H~usbandman. The exposition opens next
May and the doors will be closed to the
entry Of anything except, a few of the per-
ishable products after that date, hence the
absolute necessity of relying nj on the pres
snt crop to furnish the exhibit. We had
this fact in view in the early spring when
we called upon our farmers to make an ex-
ira effort to grow extraordinary crops, and
sent out quantities of seed hoping to assist
in securing an exhibit which in quality, Ok
tent. and variety, will have no equal at the
great International show. Montana has no
superior rs a farming country the world
over and We hope to be able to demonstrate
this fact by the exhibit at Chicago an /
should We succeed in doing this it will be
worth untold millions to the state by the
way of assisting in attracting home makers
to our beautiful valleys to dsvelope their
latent resources.

HOW 1T Is DONE.

The Commander OF An Indian Troop Re
Iates His Experiences.
The following is IN extract from a letter
received in st. Pau recently from the COM
mander of a troop of Indians in the Eighth
cavsl'y ut Fort Keogh, Mont:
This is more of a colony than a military
camp. You would certainly laugh could
YOU see me performing my various duties.
One part of the day l am drilling; at an
other hour showing an Indian m how
to mix condensed milk and water in the
proper proportions for use in a nursing bot
tie; then inquirinR of a man why his saddle
is not clean; next Of a woman why there ia
no washing or her line or why a ohild's
face ia not washed and its hair combed; at
one time listening to the complaint of a
man that his wife won't stay at homo and
keep the house in good order; at another
hearing a wife complain because her hus-
band does not treat her we'll or does not
give her a fair part of his wages. Then,
again. hearing an application for divorce.
am slowly getting them in shape, and
hope in time to do much good to these
people; but they are the strangest people !
have ever been with. I was once, as l think
l told you, two years with Indians before
enlisted, and altogether I am acquainted
with eleven tribes; but that is only a small
advantage in dealing with these people, as
they are, l believe, different from n other
people on earth. Those things which we
keep most carefully concealed from our
children they freely tell to theirs, no that a
Cheyenne girl of IA knows RS much of hui
man nature as a white woman of 30, A
Cheyenne man cannot pronounce the name
of his mother -in-law, nor sver be in the
same room with her; and as for speaking to
her. that is completely and entirely impos-
sible. He can speak to his fathsr-in-law
but it 10 not proi or to associate intimately
with him. Sincerely yours,
