The Pythians threaten to split upon the
questions of saloons and English-speak-
ing lodges. The majority seems disposed
to exclude applicants who are in the sa-
loon interest, and for patriotic motives to
insist upon the ritual being followed in
but one language-the English.
The report that NJ. James Tissot, whose
series Of pictures on the life of Christ
was the main attraction Of the Champ Gle
Mars salon this year, is about to become

THE MAMMOTH MILL.
1T HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND WILL
. SOON BE IN OPERATION.

Continued Activity in Gold Creek Dis
Relinery-Record of Mineral Locations.
Progress at the Lead King.
Superintendent Simpson and Secretary
Scharnikow, of the Mammoth company,
consummated the purchase of a complete
tenstamp mill from the Western Iron
Works, of Butte, Wednesday night. This
marks step in the affairs of that com
panv, it is confidently believed, that will
directly place the Mammoth in the front
rank of Montana's gold bonanzas. The
mine, which is situated near Sunset in
the northern part Of this county, has
been pretty thoroughly exploited during
the past year and ore bodies have been
exposed and tested to an extent that
leaves no room for speculation as to the
outcome of milling operations. Super
intendent Simpson will return to Sunset
today and Immediately undertake the
work of building q road from the mine
TO connect with the Drummond wagon
road. Directly that is in shape, the
Western Iron Works will ship the mill
machinery, and it is anticipated it's de-
livery at the mill site will begin within
two weeks. This will be the first mill
to go into that immediate section and it's
successful operation will certainly be the
indirect means Of bringing other proper
| ties to the front.

leave that city for the west on the 10Th,
and it is probable the deal will be con
summated soon after his arrival. Mr..
DAILY further said that all the business of
the Anaconda company, from the Mis-
souri, river to the east, had been done
over the Burlington route; that the com
pany had paid the road millions Of dol
lars for freight and that necessarily the
location Of the works at Great Falls
would have material influence in the
final determination of the route Of the
road. The enterprise would entail an
enormous outlay Of money, but if the
terms were agreed upon the money would
be forthcoming.

ADVENT OF THE BURLINGTON.
Within Ten Days 1t VIII Run !, Train
Into Billings,

The Burlington & Missouri railroad
grade is now completed to the Northern
Pacific, twelve miles east of Billings, and
the rails are being laid as rapidly as men
and the best track-laying machinery can
do it. Within ten days the construction
train will be run into Billings over the
N orthern Pacific, there being a traffic
agreement between the lines.
When completed the road will be
equipped in frst-class manner by the
Burlington. A great deal Of through
freight will be sent their way. The off
cials have about completed arrangements
for new sleeping car service to Port
land With the completion of the extern
sion from Sheridan to Billings, the Bur
lington will probably put on through
sleeping cars from Chicago to Portland,
via Omaha, Sheridan and Billings.
Billings will naturally be the most i'm.
portant point Oh the extension, with per
haps the exception Of Sheridan, the
southern terminal. There will be large
shops built at Billings, as wei! as offices
and other buildings usually found at 9
terminal station. The distance from Bill
lings to Omaha is S92 miles.

THE WAR IN COREA.
JAPAN AND CHINA ARE CERTAINLY
NOT RAPID FIGHTERS.

Active Preparations for Conflict Seem to
be About All There is of It So Far-yast
Chinese Forces Marching on Corea-Con-
traband Goods in Great Demand.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 9.-The Northern
Pacific liner Sikh, from Yokohama, brings
interesting advices Of the war in the
Orient. The reason given by the COM
mander Of the Japanese warship Naniwa
Kan, when asked why she fired upon the
Kow Shing, seeing she was flying the
British flag, is now given for the first
time and is certainly pertinent: Because
she was sailing under false colors; was
carrying Chinese troops; had been sold
to the Chinese government, and fully
paid for" Notwithstanding this expla-
nation, the same paper which gives it
publicity announces that the sum Of
$750,O00 had been agreed upon by the
japanese government as a reparation for
the sinking of Captain Galworth's vessel
and the compensation Of those dependent
upon the Europeans lost with her. The
Sikh was detained at Shang ghai by Chi
nese gunboat, which made an effort to
gain possession Of the rice portion Of her
cargo The British consul objected and
the merchantmen was allowed to pro-
ceed.
China is now hurrying an army of hnn-
dreds Of thousands of men through north
ern China to Corea, but they are subsist-
ing on the products of the country through
which they are passing, and most of it is
mountainous. 1t is hard to say what sue
cess they will meet with. Most Of the
men enlisted and drafted into the Chinese
army are coolies Of low order The
Chinese have been offering great induce
ments to Europeans and Americans to
enter the service, and have secured many.
On the other hand, the Japanese will
have no outsiders in any branch of the
service.
At the smaller Chinese ports all man
ner Of outrages have been committed on
resident japanese, and in some places
the Portuguese have been robbed.

Looks Bad for the Chinese.

LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch from
Shanghai states that the power OF Vice
roy Ii Hung Chang has steadily de
creased. Every days delay in providing
the promised victory over the Japanese
adds to the danger of his downfall.
Reinforcements from the more remote
provinces en- route to Corea are at a
standstill, terrorizing the cities in which
they are halted. Almost reign of terror
prevails even in Tien Tsein. The savage
soldiery are everywhere plundering and
maltreating the wretched populace and
native merchants are fleeing to Tien
Tsein to save their lives.

Burglars Enter the Bonner Residence,
But Secure Nothing of Value.
Burglars entered the Bonner residence
Sunday evening, but so far as known
found nothing of value they could carry
away, and did no damage further than to
tumble things about considerably. The
house is at present occupied only by Mr..
Maxwell, who rooms there, and his trunk
was among the receptac]es broken into.
The same evening two hobos were ar

THE ROYAL ROAD.
ITS IMMEDIATE CONSTRUCTION Is
NOW FULLY ASSURED.

The County Commissioners IfOmulSate
an Order Appropriating $4,000 for the
Worlz-Citizens VIII Put Up Any Neces-
sary Excess Of That Amount
By far the best work ever done by any
board Of county county commissioners
for Deer Lodge county, was the order
promulgated at this weeks session of the
present board appropriating $4,000 for
the construction Of the Deer Lodge and
Royal wagon road from this city to the
county line "a assurances having been
given that the portion beyond the line
necessary to be built would be promptly
looked after.
The route Of this road has been pre-
viously detailed in these columns. Briefly,
it is from Deer Lodge to the foot of Rock
creek lake, thence up the north side of
the lake to the cascades above its head,
thence up Rock creek to the head of the
basin, thence to the head of Boulder
creek and down to the mine.
The road will be il, the nature Of a
trunk line, which will open up to the
markets Of this city and valley the de-
monstrated riches Of Royal district and
all the country at the head Of Gold creek
and beyond, which is rapidly coming to
the front as the most promising section
within Montana's gold belt. Its impor-
tance, therefore, can scarcely be over
estimated.
1t is not definitely known, Of course,
that the road can be put through for
$4,000, the amount Of the appropriation,
but this cuts no figure in its accomplish
ment for the reason that some of the
most substantial citizens Of the county
are backing the proposition with a guar
antee that an indemnity fund from pri-
vate sources to any necessary amount in
excess Of the appropriation will be
promptly provided for completing the
work. The point to be gained is to get
the road through and to get it through
at once. In this connection TIE NEW
NORTHWEST desires to compliment the
county commissioners for the spirit OF
enterprise and consideration for the pub
lie welfare they have demonstrated BY
their action in this matter, and to com
mend the citizens of the county who
have so generously supplemented the
action Of the officials.
At this writing the indications are tina
the work Of building the road will have
been vigorously inaugurated before an
other issue Of this paper.

General Mining Notes

Eight thousand tons of gold have been
mined throughout the world during the
present century
The gold production Of the world this
year is estimated at $170,000,O00, an in
crease over last year of $15,000,000.
Colorado exchanges think that this
years output of gold and silver in that
state will be 1927, ,O0O,O ,OOO- SIS, ,OOO,O 900 gold
and $12,000,0O0 silver.
The mine owners in the Masillon min
ing district in Ohio propose to open their
mines with non-union men, and if neces-
sary they will import labor.
The Lexington mine and mill at Butte
has shut down Indefinitely. 1t is not
probable the property will be again oper-
ated until there is a material rise in
silver.
The latest estimate Of gold production
in the United States this year is $43,000,-
600, against S35, 900 in 1898, and this
will be the largest output of gold in the
country since 1878.
Three years ago W. S. Stratton Of Grip
pie Greek, Col, was working for $3.50 a
day. He is worth $3,o0o,00o in coin and
expects to get more out Of his mine
which he discovered himself.
1t is rumored at Butte that the Ana
conda company will shortly resume
operations on the J G or Ground Squir
rel mine, and that Il three-compartmen
shaft will be developed between the J
G and the Monitor.
A Boise, Idaho, dispatch says very
rich gold ledge has been discovered Oh
Willow creek, fifteen miles from there
two and onehalf feet of ore being strip
4 ped for 300 feet, its value being variousl,
estimated from 81, 900 to $4,000 per ton.
The general statement in most paper
published in mining towns that It's use
less to come here looking for work: tn
camp is full Of unemployed men, is no
found in the Telluride, Col, Republican
which declares that miners are neede'
there and that the demand is greater thai
the supply.

THE MINES OF GOLD CREEK.
Continued Good Showing for the Failure
Great District OF the State.

Great District OF the State.
A trip through the district at and near
the head Of Gold creek at this time shows
as much development work going on as
in the more thickly settled mining re-
gions of Montana This section was the
source of supply to the rich placer dig
gings Of Pioneer and Yam Hill, and GER
tainly indicates from present develop
ment that it is gold district which will
prove of permanent Importance.
The Potosi, one Of the earliest locations
in the district, is being worked under
lease by G. j. McSherry. Mr.. McSherry
aud G. P. II. Bielenberg fs,t in the larger
part Of this year driving a tunnel and
prosecuting on the lead. The ore was
worked through an arastra, but owing to
its base character (Which is noticeable in
all the leads of the district they were
not rewarded highly for their efforts, as
most Of the gold was carried off in the
tailings. 1t is Mr.. McSherry's intention
to ship the product Of the new workings,
as the Potosi is strictly concentrating

Sullivan 4 Burrier are driving tun-
mel on the El Dorado, which adjoins the
Potosi on the west. They are now in 2G5

as they have encountered about twenty

critics will develop into good mines, as
the lead is readily traceable across all
of them. The pay streak in the Eel Do
rado is matriSed between walls Of hard,
white granite, which evidences staying
qualities.
The La Plata, which is owned by Nap
ton & Napton and Philip II. Miller OF
Deer Lodge and Martin Uhlich Of Pho
neer, is being worked by James Self and
Napton Bros. Mr.. Self holds a bond fol
one year on the Uhlich interest. The

open cut now in about thirty-fve feet

Birch Rods for Students.

1 am glad to have received from
an Oxford man cordial Endorsement
Of my suggestion for the use of the
birch in the univ -rsity on the per-
sops Of undergraduates given to
"raggirg" and similar follies. l
learn from this correspondent that
corporal punishment was one OF the
wise institutions founded at Oxford
by Alfred the Great-the Solomon
Of our royal line-and am favorably
impressed by the suggestion which
my correspondent goes on to make,
that the college bursars, having few
or no useful functions to perform,
should be armed with rods and trans
formed into college birchers. No
doubt some sentimentalists will pro-
test against the birch as humilia-
ton to the university "man. When,
however, man is not man, but a
schoolboy, common sense suggests
that he should be treated as q school
boy.-London Truth.
