GOLD IN EASTERN MONTANA.

Placer Mines Found on Con pfiuent of the
Big Dry River in Dawson County.
For the last two or three days there
has been considerable talk about placers
and free gold, and finally the whole story
became public, aud the result is that to-
day there Ia considerable excitement in
Miles City.
1t wac hard to locate the origin OF the
various rumors at first, says the Miles
City Journal, but they were eventually
traced to somo l. U cow-punchers, who
came in from the North side on Sunday.
There is a halo Of sensation about the
discovery Of the new diggings, which
makes readable story and adds an ele-
ment Of mystery to them which may re.
suit in producing genuine stampede.
None Of those who came to town have
been on the scene, but it ia claimed
that there are now twelve or fifteen at
work and that they are taking out good,
coarse gold in paying quantities, but
beyond that nothing lie known as to the
present work.
The discovery Of the placers was made
by q "squawman," known as "Cayuse
Alex," who has been working for the
Nm for some years as cow puncher.
About six weeks ago Alex saddled up q
horse, and taking a pack outfit, struck
out in the direction OF the Big Dry. He
had told several of the other hands that
he knew Of rich placer ground, and the
talk following his departure resulted in
him being followed by some Of them.
Two weeks ego they found him at work,
taking out dust, on Box creek, stream
six or seven miles long which emptiee
into the Big Dry about twenty miles
above the mouth Of the latter, which TO-
Gates the gold fields in Dawson county,
nearly 100 miles due north Of Miles City.
So favorably were they impressed with
tho ground, which they asserted, showed
gold from the grass roots down, that
they made twenty-one locations, notices
Of which were sent to Glendive for rec
ord. Alex then told him how he came
to find the diggings, and this was the
substance Of his story:
Several years ago another squawman,
whose name could not be ascertained,
learned from the Indians, through his
squaw, of the existence of the gold, went
to the scene, and took out about 5000
in coarse dust, with which he went to
Fort Peck, where he went on lengthy
spree, which terminated in his death.
Through his squaw "Cayuse Alex"
heard the story, but could never find the
old workings until this spring.
The discovery sounds "fishy" to the
ordinary mortal, the only known fact in
connection with it being that the notices
Of location ha ye been fled in Glendive.
Two parties are preparing to 60 out from
here to investigate the discovery. Louis
King and r. c. Morrison are now on the
road, while Sam Pepper, Ed. j. Jones.
Charley Royce and others expect to get
away soon. In about eight or ten days
the true history will be known.

LIVELY TINES AHEAD.

The u. a. NJ. Works Increase the Amount
of Ore Used Daily 800 Tons.
The temporary check to the evolution
of the great industries Of Great Falls ia
now thing Of tho past, and lively and
prosperous times to this city most assur-
cdly may be looked for.
Prominent among the causes for these
results may be mentioned the increased
amount of of ore which will have to be
hauled from Butte to supply the Boston
Il Montana smelter in this city to ite
full capacity, and which will necessarily
increase the number OF men employed in
these works. As the increased amount
of ore required amounts to fully one half
the amount used before, being 800
against 600, this is no small affair.
The stocks OF coal at different estab-
lishments and cities have also run down,
and this will tend to increased activity
at Sand Coulee and Belt. For months
before the strike the coal industry OF
this section had assumed enormous pro.
portions. with one coalfield not yet fully
developed, to assume that figure Of pro.
duction which it is able to do. Without
doubt, however, both Sand Coulee and
Belt will be taxed TO their utmost pro-
duction, only to be limited by II o mum

COPPER MARK EFT.

Market Quite Active but Values Have
Not Been Well Maintained.
The following is from the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal:
The market continues to be quite
active, but through sacrifice in price

not likely that the producers will have
to reduce their prices in the near future

the foundation Of the government. with the
exception of theFifty-first Congress permitted
the minority to remain silent upon important
questions. This made it necessary for those
| favoring a bill to secure the affirmative vote
| OF majority Of the members elected. Accord
| ing to the decision Of the Supreme Court the
House can determine for itself the method OF
ascertaining quorum. 1t can determine the
presence Of a quorum by the old rule which
only records those who desire to vote, or by
the new rule which counts all present whether
they vote or not.
There were some OF us who believed that it
was more important to secure the consent OF
the majority than to rush business through,
and we voted against the rule just adopted for
counting a quorum. OF course 1t Is more
convenient to the members to have the House
in a position to 90 on with its work, even
when nearly half OF the members are absent.
1t enables III members to attend to other
business while the other 179 do the legisla-
tive work, but l do not believe that it will
be approved by the people who favor the rule
of the majority.
According to the new rule. II 179 members
are present when an election contest is pend
ing, and 80 vote to unseat the member
who has the certificate from his state, the sit
ting member will be put out, whether the re-
manning SO vote or remain silent. Under the
old rule the SO, by remaining silent, could
prevent the unseating of the member until 179
members were found who would vote in the
affirmative. Is it better to get through with
business in hurry or to secure the rights OF
the majority?
1t is wrong to assume that all members OF
party vote together. While this is generally
true on party questions. members vote as in
dividuals on by far the greater number of
measures, and therefore each individual
member ought to be represented in the vote.
The adoption of this rule will probably en-
courage absenteeism, for members who felt
that they must stay to make quorum, or
were afraid they might be sent for, will now
feel that they can be spared. If the combined
wisdom of all the members is necessary. or
even valuable in legislation, the continual
absence of large number of members will be
felt.
Inc uiscusslon oi tnls question Will ue-
velop public opinion. If the wisdom of the
new rule is justified by experience, the states
can change their constitutions so as to carry
on their legislation with more speed and less
members. II the rule proves to be inexpe-
dient we may be led to adopt the constitu-
tional requirement now found in the constitu-
tions of the states. Both parties having now
adopted the same principle, the question can
be discussed without partisan bias and sat-
isfactory conclusion reached.

she should be inschrined in the hearts of the
people with peculiar sacredness. as the first
lady of the land. Her name should be
guarded with jealous care not only by her
