THE BURLINGTON OFFICERS.

Kumof That They Have an Option on a
Large Tract of Land at Butte.
The visit Of the Burlington railroad
officials to Butte, Tuesday of last week,
is the subject of considerable gossip
around town. 1t is believed that their
visit meant something to Butte, but all
efforts to get them to talk were futile.
What their plans and intentions are no.
body seems to know, but it is not denied
by them that they secured an option on
about 400 acres of land in the valley east
OF Butte, which many believe is to be
used as terminus for the Burlington
route. This is understood to be the re-
suit of Marcus Daly's representations.
The railroad men were Mr.. Daly's guests
and were shown through the Anaconda
company's mines and in other ways
shown the great resources of this dis
trict, and they were impressed with the
mutual advantages which would result
should Butte be made the terminal sta
tion Of the Burlington. Should the re-
port prove true, the benefit to Butte
would, of course, be great. It would
open considerable new territory for which
this city would be the supply station.
The gentlemen went over to Anaconda
Wednesday and spent most of the day
viewing the mammoth smelters. G.. w.
Holdredge, who is general manager of
the Burlington lines west of the Missouri
river, said to reporter that the Burling-
ton had not decided to extend their line
further west this season. He believed
that the present was bad time for rail
road building, and although several pos
sible routes for the western extension
had been looked over, the Burlington
had come to no conclusion yet.-Inter

After Five Years. Work the Patient Mi

After Five Years Work the Patient Mi
ners Are Rewarded.
News comes from Emigrant, a mining
camp on the National Park branch of the
Northern Pacific, of vel y rich placer
strike, which yields betw cen 1916 and
Sl00 4 day to three men who work the
ground. The strike was IN hde last week.
Five years ago these thr ee men who
made the strike secured tract of placer
ground in Emigrant gulch and started a
tunnel. After having run in under a
high bar 800 feet, they finally struck bed
rock, in the center of what was centuries
ago the bed of a river. At this point the
bedrock was 300 feet below the surface,
and on it the hardy and patient miners
found great grains of gold and are now
engaged in taking out all the way from
$50 to 500 per day. The strike has Gre
ated considerable excitement among the
owners Of adjacent claims and has greatly
stimulated work thereon Several con
tracts have been let within the past week
an other claims, and now tHat it has been
demonstrated that the bed rock is rich in
placer gold, the fortunate owners of
ground in Emigrant gulch will tunnel in
to the bedrock with renewed speed.

satisfactory. The Northern Pacific COM

a rich strike near Homestake Pass. In

place and could not at the time discover
anything, but had his suspicious more
strongly aroused. Returning to Butte,he
got out a search warrant and taking some
officers with him he went back to the

stable door, drove out five head of his
cattle. At the slaughterhouse he un-

Attend the Caucus.

During the present week Repub-
lican caucuses or primary meet
ings will be held very generally
throughout the State to select
delegates to the different conven-
tions that are to be held within
the next few days, State, District
and County. And we want to
repeat what has been SAID SO
often in these columns at caucus
time that it is the duty OF every
Republican voter to attend the
caucus and cast his vote for dele
gates to these conventions. This
is duty too often neglected by
the voters, Republicans and Dem
ocrats. The great majority are
too apt to limit their partlcipa-
ton in politics to a single vote
at each election, and their attend
ance at perhaps one or two
public meetings during the quad
rennial presidential campaign.
Now this is all wrong. The
place to make your influence felt
is at the caucus, the political
fountain head. The delegates
to be elected at these caucuses
will have most important func-
tons to perform, audit is scarcely
less important that when these
delegates have been chosen they
attend the convention. This is
addressed 10 Republicans in gen
eral, and those of Essex County
in particular. Essex County will
present the name of one of its
foremost and representative citi-
zens, Col. L. M. Mansur, for the
most important Office of lieuten-
ant governor, a man who is in
every way well equipped for the
place, and we would urge upon
each and every delegate to see to
it that each town in the county
is fully represented. We should
have sufficient pride in our nomi-
nee to do this. That he will oc-
cnpy with distinction the chair
as presiding officer of the Senate
goes without saying Our last
word before the holding of the
caucus is select your best men
as delegates and instruct every
one to attend the nominating
conventions.

The new postal money order, which is
to be sold exclusively at post Offices on
and after July l, is simply a copy of the
express orders which have been issued
for several years, having marginal cou-
pom check which can be torn to represent
any sum from one cent to 500. The rates
for the present orders run from five to rs
cents. The new orders will cost less, the
scale running from three to 80 cents, the
fees having been reduced to the basis
now charged by the express companies.
1t is claimed that the new order is not as
well guarded against forgery as the old
one and that the method of issuing and
recording it is more laborious.
