Sweet Grass and left yesterday for the
same place, reports that Charles Gibson,
who has been working in a prospect at
East Butte, near the Brown Eyed
Queen property, has made a rich find of
copper glance OF peacock copper ore.
After driving a tunnel in ITO feet they
cross-cut a large body Of this rich ore.
They were ten feet into the vein when
Oleander left and had not reached the
other wall. 1t is claimed that the ore

Ordes 1t Closed Down.
James Shields passed through here
yesterday on his way to Butte from Chi
cago. p. J. Shields, mis- brother, who is
superintendent at the Belt mines and
who came in from Belt Friday for that
purpose, met him at this point and laid
before him the trouble of the company
with their men at the mines. After hear
ing the account of the matter for the
first time Mr.. Shields came to a prompt
decision and ordered all operations at
Belt on the part Of the company stopped,
the mines closed down and the store
shut up, declaring that he preferred to
stop operations for this year entirely to
having any trouble with the men or sub

as unreasonable. MI. p. j. Shields left

of the manager. This action Of the com
pany will leave about 400 men out Of

Last Wednesday the county commits.
sioners Of Choteau and Teton counties
met and accepted the new bridge which
spans the north fork of the Sun river
and was jointly built by the counties Of
Choteau and Teton. The bridge cost
$1,000. After the formal acceptance OF
the bridge a general jolitication was
made by the people on both sides OF the
stream, to whom the bridge is a great
accommodation. About forty people
came from Choteau headed by the Cho-
teau brass band, which was drawn in a
four horse wagon decorated with bunt-
ing. About sixty people assembled on
the Augusta side to meet them and give
them a welcome, and there was the usual
speech making. During the evening a

brate the event at the town hall and the
crowd had a merry time, keeping up the

The demand for an adjustment of the
currency question by the free coinage
route is not confined to this country
alone. From time to time since the agi-
tation began here in earnest many of the
ablest Of English economists have ex-
pressed and explained their views and
urged the necessity Of the measure. Sew
eral Of them have agreed with the silver
men that this country is great enough to
establish and maintain a financial policy
Of it's own; they would prefer an inter
national agreement, but failing to get
that they do not hesitate to say that if
this government takes the initiative the
governments Of Europe will have to fol-
low suit.
Among the ablest Of the English jour
nails devoted to economics is the London
Statist, and in a late issue it sounds this
note of warning, not only to English in
v~estors, but to the people Of the United
States: Things being so, we strongly
recommend our readers to be exceedingly
cautious how they touch any American
securities. Unless something is done
there are likely to be very trying times
before US, and there can hardly be an
early recovery. AS We have said over
and over again, we attach far less i'm
portance to the tariff bill than the
public generally and most of our contem-
poraries. A wise tariff reform is requisite,
OF course, but the wisest reform would
not restore confidence instantly. 1t is
the currency question that is really ur-
gent and really dangerous, and congress
deliberately shuts its eyes to the cur
rency question, and will do nothing that
it ought to do. Therefore, we greatly
fear that there are trying times before
u.s."
The warning is a timely one. The
great majority Of the people OF this coun-
try feel that there can be no speedy and
permanent return to national prosperity
until silver resumes it's rightful place as
money in the currency of the world
They are bending all their efforts to ac-
complish that result and the signs OF the
times are that the congress to be elected
In November will contain a majority
pledged to the restoration OF silver. II
this be done there is no reason why 6
free coinage bill should not be passed al
the next session Of the present congress
1t is certain that q majority OF the mem
bers favor the measure and we're onl,
prevented from voting for it at the spe
cial session by the specious arguments
the Misrepresentation and extraordi
nary pressure Of the monied classes. II
the outcome of the elections show a ma
jority in favor of free coinage it will be
propef thing for the present congress tc
bow to the demand Of the people as ex,
pressed at the ballot box, and anticipat
ing the new congress-, serve the country
and aid prosperity by passing the bill.
