The Bill That Interests Miners.

The following is copy of the bill
passed by congress and signed by
the president suspending for one
year assessment work on mining
claims:
sBe it enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives Of the Unit
ed States Of America in congress
assembled: That the provisions Of
section 1924 OF the revised statutes
Of the United States, which require
that on each claim located after the
10th day of May, 1872, and. until
patent has been issued therefor, not
less than 500 worth Of labor shall
be performed or improvements made
during each year, be suspended for
the year 1898 SO that no mining
claim which has been regularly To-
Gated and recorded as required by
the local laws and mining regula-
tions shall be subject to forfeiture
for non-performance of the annual
assessment for the year 1893; Pro-
vided, that the claiment or claiments
of any mining location, in order to
secure the benefits Of this act shall
cause to be recorded in the office
where the location notice or certifi-
cate is filed on or before Dec. 81,
1893, notice that he or they, in
good faith, intended to hold and
work said claim. This act shall
take effect from and after its pass
age"
1t was amended as follows: Pro-
vided, however, that the provisions
of this act shall apply only to per-
sons who are bonefde residents of
the state or territory, or adjoining
state or territories in which the min
ing claim is located"

1t is difficult to predict the effect
the recent elections will have on the
tariff bill now being formulated by
the democratic majority of the ways
and means committee. Chairman
Wilson declares the passage of the
very measure now under consider
alton will be the only thing needful
to restore public confidence and
place the democratic party on a ped
estal of political supremacy. But
many prominent men in the party
do not agree with him, and these
will counsel moderation in tariff re-
vision. The moderate tariff men in
the democratic party were pretty ef-
fectually silenced by the overwhelm-
ing democratic majority of year
ago; but, now that the popular ex-
preston seems to have changed,
they have taken heart and propose
to be heard in the council. The
proposition to put wool, lumber,
iron ore, coal and salt on the free
list will be opposed in some quar-
ters and by strong men. There
seems to be a growing desire on the
part of these men for caucus of
the party to determine on the best
course to pursue before the bill is
reported to congress. Even SO en-
inent a leader as Judge Culberson,
chairman of the judiciary commit
tee, has requested a caucus, and
even Bland of Missouri is credited
with a determination to fight the
bill if it places the articles men
toned on the free list. The COM
mittee is making satisfactory pro-
gress and expects to have the bill
ready to report when congress
meets.

No Land for the Crees.

Governor Richards has received a
letter from Commissioners Browning,
Of the Indian bureau, to the secre-
tary of the interior, in regards to
giving the Cree Indians now in
Montana a reservation. The latter
reviews the correspondence on the
subject, saying among other things
that congress was asked to take cog
nizance of the Idians' request but
did not do so. AS it is out of the
power for the department to give
the Crees a reservation without the
authority of congress, the commiss-
ioner says the Indians had better re-
turn to Canada, especially as the
Canadian government is desirous
that they should do SO.

Russiaand Silver.

The opinion is expressed in
Washington that the cause of the
continued rise in silver in London
during the past few weeks is due in
part to the belief that Russia is con
templating the adoption of silver as
a part of her monetary system. 1t
is said intimations have been recely-
ed by government officials that Rus
sia will replace her uncovered paper
money with silver to be used as sub
sidiary coin. At present the amount
of silver in use in Russia as money
is but 53 cents per capita. Russia
has s50O,O0O,OOO of uncovered paper
or about SAP per capita. 1t is
stated here Russia can easily absorb
s26O,OOO,000 of silver and is desir-
Gus of doing so for the purpose OF
pushing her commerce in the east
with Persia, India and China, which
use silver almost exclusively as
money.

The Copper Combine Denied.

Leading London firms in the cop
per trade join in denying the exist
ence of the reported copper syndi-
cate and point to the fact that any
combination between the Roth
schilds and Lewisohn is impossible,
as the only man of that name con-
nected with copper failed few
months ago. Another evidence OF
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1893-11-18

the fact that there is no manipula-
ton of copper by a syndicate is
shown in the many quotations,
which in no way indicate the work
ings of combination.

For Winter Flowering.

For Winter Towering.
When you pot your bulbs, water them
we'll, then set the pots away in a cool,
lark place to allow roots to form.
When you bring bulbs to the light, do
not put them in a very warm room, or
they will make a weak, rapid growth,
and very often the buds will blast. If
you have a, room that is proof against
frost adjoining one in which fire is
kept, keep your bulbs there. The cooler
you can keep the air of the room in
which your bulbs bloom and have it
above frost, the longer the flowers will
last. In selecting tulips for pot culture,
get single sorts. They bloom better than
the double ones and are really more de-
sirable in all ways. Among hyacinths,
too, the single sorts are hest. The Roman
varieties are favorites.

Autumn Treatment Of Raspberries..

Autumn Treatment of Raspberries,
The London Garden contains some
good directions on the autumn treat
ment Of the raspberry, the substance of
which is worth repeating, with some
comments. The early removal of the
canes is recommended, which is good
advice when they are standing in
sheltered positions. But in bleak ex-
posures the old canes may aid in pro-
tecting the new ones against wind and
storms. Heavy surface mulching twice
year is recommended. Suckers should
be removed, because they rot the plants,
but better way is to clear out all the
needless suckers early in the season
when only few inches high.
Only three or four canes for future
bearing should be allowed for each stool,
or five at the mostsif they are rather
weak. If, however, they are wanted for
planting, more may be allowed. Canes
for next seasons bearing may be mod
erately or lightly pruned or shortened
back or pinched into good shape with
out removing much foliage till they have
acquired a strong and well matured
wood. I'D

TREES ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.
Fruit From seedlinGs-Have Budding and
Grating Tendency TO Degeneration?

Fruit From SeediinGs-Have Budding and
Grating Tendency TO Degeneration?
The idea that in order to get good va
rieties Of fruit we must bud or graft
from existing trees that are known to be
such prevails 60 extensively that no other
system Of propagation can be said to be
in general practice. Yet it is true Of the
most Of fruits that the best as we'll as
the poorest Of the varieties we have orig
mated as seedlings. Not few Of our
fruitgrowers are suspecting that the
practice of budding and grating has
tendency to degeneration and is at least
cause equally potent with climatic
changes and soil exhaustion for loss of
vigor and the want of power to resist
unfavorable influences, in which the
fruit trees Of the olden time were supe-
rior to those Of the present.
That grating or budding on stocks
and roots is the only certain method of
reproducing exactly the variety we wish
to perpetuate is freely admitted, but
may it not also be true that the practice
should become more general Of raising
fruit trees from selected seeds? In case
of the peach we may fairly expect trees
from seeds Of the best varieties to pos
sess many of the good qualities of the
parent stock, and if the vigor, produc-
tiveness and freedom from disease of old
time orchards can to any considerable
extent be regained it is certainly worth
trying for.
That we can originate variety Of the
apple which will reproduce itself from
the seeds with the same uniformity as
from it's scions is scarcely to be expect
ed. 1t seems reasonable, however, to be-
lieve that by planting young trees from
seeds Of our best apples short distances
apart in the rows and leaving them to
be tested in future and then cutting out
those least desirable we may secure or
chards of excellent fruit and at the
same time more prolific and longer lived
than many of the grated and budded
kinds Of the present time.

He has had practical experience in

fortunes in developing mines In his
early days he was prominent figure on

thoroughly cosmopolitan in nature He
can hum the latest popular song, appre-

He can place himself en- rapport with
