Drops Out a Nickel.

The latest application of the pen
ny-in-the-slot principle is character
lied by common sense, ingenuity and
utility. Hitherto the public has fed
the automatic machine with nickels,
in return for values. In the latest
plan the process has been reversed.
The public will receive pennies in
stead of giving them. The idea is
this: To the person who turns a
crank 100 times the machine yields
up one penny. The crank is con-
nected inside with dynamo, and
the hundred revolutions of the hand
lie manufacture and store quantity
of electrical energy, which is to be
eventually retailed by the owner of
the machine for the purpose of pro-
ducing illumination. The plan ap-
pears to be feasible enough, and
would certainly, in districts where
unemployed labor abounded, be pro-
ductive Of considerable good. No
man need 60 in want of meal who
can apply himself to the electrical
automatic machine. And the inven-
ton might be capable of wide ap.
plication. If every household was
provided with one, each member of
the family might, in the name of ex-
ercise, give the handle so many
turns a day, sufficient, if that were
possible, to. provide electricity
enough for the purpose of lighting.

From the Miner.

From the Miner:
The May and Edna Is copper
property. There was considerable
doubt in the minds of many people
when we announced this fact two
weeks ago; but even the most skep-
tical must now admit the truth of our
report. Not only is the May and
Edna a copper property but it has
the largest body of ore in the Belt
mountains. Some time ago body
of copper ore was struck in the mine,
but not much was said about it, as it
was not known how it would assay
as of what extent it was. The ore
body is in the contact, and where it
was first struck was twenty-five feet
wide of solid ore. From this point a
cross-cut was made to the lime wall.
and then drift continued along the
side of the wall for 112 feet and an
other crosscut made to where the
vein would naturally be and here it
was struck again. Owing to water
it has so far been impossible to deter
mine the width of the ore at this
point, as the ground is loose and has
caved in somewhat. 1t will be nec-
essary to get this out of the way and
the tunnel timbered up before they
can go through. Assays of the rock
were made and show copper from 30
to 80 per cent. An immense speci-
men OF this ore weighing about 2, 100
pounds has been gotten out for the
Worlds fair and is now in charge Of
Prof. Morrison. sThe professor pre-
diets that this specimen will create
quite an impression on the outside
world, and will bring people to his
own conclusion that the May and
Edna promises better than any mine
in the Beltmountains.
The buildings at the Moulton are
now enclosed, and the machinery
will next be placed in position. The
deep snow and stormy weather have
delayed matters somewhat, but
nevertheless things will soon be in
shape to commence the work of
sinking.
Jos. Winker has been at work
with force of men during the past
week getting his ice packed for next
summers use. He has got his ice
house we'll filled up with about 1870
tons.
The Tiger has been adding to its
force lately. and has now commenced
sinking below the uprise.
S. J. Merritt is assisting Prof.
Morrison in making his mineral col
lection from this district.

THE NEW COUNTIES,
Eight Candidates For the Privilege
of a New County Gov
ernment.
THREE ALREADY ALLOWED.
The County Boundaries Also Threat
en- To Take New
Shape.
The State Cut Up.

Our present Legislature is being
beset upon all sides by bills to create
new counties. Of these bills there
are no less than eight already listed,
while several other have been intro
duced for the change county boun-
daries.
A vital mistake is frequently made
in choosing the boundaries of coun-
ties in mountainous state. FIRE.
quently we find county line follow
ing a river valley while thus the
people on either side of the stream
are cut off from their county seat by
many miles of difficult road. 1t were
better whore mountain ranges divide
country that their SUBMITS be taken
for the dividing line, for then the
district comprising a county will be
more accessible from one point to
another and its Inhabitants will ma
turally feel a closer political union by
reason of their more neighborly re-
lation. In the present juncture
when it is proposed to divide
Meagher county by the 47th parallel
of latitude this same error is about to
be made. For only short distance
south of that line we find mountain
divide whose summit is more proper
ly dividing line; as the proposed
new county line will still leave
large population in the old county
with the same disparaging circum-
stance of difficult mountain pass
between them and the county seat.
Teton county has already been
formed with Choteau the temporary
county seat.
Valley county is about to be
formed with Glasgow as temporary
county seat.
Flathead county will be cut from
the north side of Missoula county.
Besides these assured divisions,
there are others proposed with more
or less of merit which we enumerate
as follows:
Bear Paw county, with Chinook as
temporary capital, is asked to be cut
off.
Granite county is proposed, with
Philipsburg as seat of government.
Bitter Root county is asked to be
constructed the tract to comprise
part of the southern end of Missoula
county.
Sweet Grass county is called for
around the town of Big Timber, in
Park county.
Broadwater county is called for
n and around Townsend, Meagher
county.
The State had already sixteen
counties By the creation of the
three first named the number has
been increased to nineteen. 1t is to
be hoped that sooner or later the
Legislature will cease to listen to the
creation of new counties in the midst
of mountains with valleys all about
for their boundaries.

Review Of Trade.

New York, Jan. 20. Severe wea-
ther appears to account in part for
somewhat general shrinkage in
business, in many branches checking
purchases and in others output or de-
liveries. Yet owing to the same in
fuence, stocks of winter goods have
been extensively cleared off, and re-
sulting orders for Spring goods have
been more liberal. The volume of
domestic trade continues larger than
last year, but exports are decidedly
smaller, from New York in three
weeks of January s8,592,S8l below
the same week last year. As i'm
ports are meanwhile very heavy, for
two weeks of January sS,9l9,l3O
more than last year, the prospects of
further gold exports causes no sur
prise. There is much hesitation re-
garding the action of Congress on
various measures, and the uncertain.
ty about the silver purchase repeal,
the prospects of the Anti-Option bill,
and the defeat of the pooling amend
ment of the Interstate commerce
act, all influenced markets and
trades to some extent. There is
also somewhat general increase in
complaints about collections, al
though money at nearly all markets
is comparatively easy, and in supply
adequate for Legitimate demands.
Wheat is half cent weaker with
large receipts and small exports, and
it is still noteworthy that the West
ern deliveries are inconsistent with
reports of the last crop. Corn is a
cent and oats half cent higher.
Cotton fell an eighth, but recovered
shade with larger sales, anti-option
reports affecting the trade more than
any change in actual supplies. Pork
products are somewhat stronger,
coffee advances with large sales, and
scarcity of eggs causes higher prices
here and at Boston. The stock
market has been strong, especially in
Manhattan, Western Union and
some of the industrials, showing an
advance of nearly ~ per share for
the week. Yet it is felt that the
failure to secure pooling amend
ment of the Inter State act may
have unfavorable influence. Money
has fallen to y per cent on call with
large receipts from the interior.
While European necessities and for
eign sales of stocks have caused
further exports of gold, no less than
100000 being reported as order
ed for shipment this week, and while
bankers feel that such outgoes may
cause trouble later, they occasion no
present disturbance. Indeed the
confidence regarding the future of
business is in all parts of the coun-
try remarkably strong and general,
especially in view of the interest
taken in pending measures in Con-
gress.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
last seven days, as reported to r. G.

week previous to the last. For the
corresponding week of last year the
figures were 32S, representing PA
failures in the United States, and 81
in the Dominion Of Canada.

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT


Facts Revealed by the Displacement of

itself is to make public at the earliest
moment a truthful statement of the
condition of the treasury. Upon that
condition at the present juncture al
most everything depends, the need OF
an extraordinary session Of congress,
the opportunity for reduction of tariff
taxation, the several currency ques-
tons, the necessity for new draft
