The \. II. U. Urges Voters Everywhere
to support the PopuIist Party.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.--The A. r. Z. has
issued a long address to the voters Of the
United States. The address, which is an
urgent call to vote the ticket Of the
populist party, opens with the history Of
the A. r, u, and then goes into detailed
account of the alleged economical condi-
tions at Pullman, which is followed up
by {; long statement of how the union
came to take up the cause of the Pull
man strikers and declare the boycott.
The history Of the strike is then gone
over. 1t is denied THAT the officials Of
the A. r. U. in any way obstructed the
operation Of the interstate commerce
law
The address closes with an appeal to
support "the party which bears the name
OF the sovereign people.
Mr.. Debs says he will not under any
circumstances be a candidate for any
office, from constable to president. He
declares his one public ambition is the
success Of the A. r. Z.

Montana Best of AL,

A travelling man who represents one Of
the largest houses in Chicago, and has
travelled through all the mountain and
coast states, has this to say about the
Treasure State: "Montana has stood up
better under the strain Of the hard times
than any other state that have visited.
Business is better and the feeling in mer-
camille circles is more confident than
elsewhere This is all the more surpris-
ing, us we in the east have been led to
believe that Montana is subject to the
same ups and downs as other minin g
states

Crescent and Lead King.

Preliminary to putting in mill ON the
Crescent and Lead King, on First Chance
gulch near Bearmouth, Drs. Mitchell &
Mussiybrod have had the claims, bitches
and roads thoroughly surveyed, Messrs.
r. FL. Mcdonald, j. P. Mitchell and W. B.

All is now ready for the reception Of the
mill, and the work of transferring the
plant from the old Happaranda to the
new property will be entered upon In a
few days by r. T. Harris, who has under
taken this part Of the contract. Sufficient
development has been done on the Cres-
cent and Lead King to demonstrate they
are valuable free-milling propositions,
and the owners have every reason to be-
lieve they will soon be in position to
operate them at a decided profit

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 4-Thomas B. Nc
Guire of New York, member Of the
general executive board of the Knig
Of Labor, is making tour Of the west or
ganizing local assemblies and addressing
workingmen on topics uppermost in la
Dor circles.
"Eyery effort is being made" he said,
"and will continue to be made until cleo
tion to persuade all workingmen to unite
on the Populst party. Since the loss Of
the recent strike it has become apparent
that the ballot is the only remaining
source for the workingman. In the
Populist party, they believe, lies the
means Of realizing that hope, and they
intend to set a Populist president in the
white house."

Prospect of Immediate Extension of the
Good Standing-scllool Lands Selected.
Butte's Progressive Popu1ists.
BUTTE, Aug. 4.-Judge W. D. Cornish
arrived in Butte from the south two DAYS
since, and it is understood his presence
is likely to have marked effect on
Butte's railroad interests. Lately the
Union Pacific receivers went before
Judge Sanborn, of St. Paul, and asked
permission of the court to cancel the
leases Of several non paying branches,
among them the Montana Union. The
court appointed Judge Cornish to inves-
tigate the alleged non-paying branches
and to report on or before October6 6. He
will begin taking testimony at once re-
garding the Montana Union
The road originally belonged to the
Union Pacific, but q few years ago it was
leased to the Montana Union company
for ninety-nine years from August !, 1886.
Since then it is understood to have been
operated by joint representatives of the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific. The
Union Pacific used the road to bring it's
trains from Silver Bow junction to Butte
and the Northern Pacific to take its trains
from Butte to the main line at Garrison.
Since the completion of the Butte, Ana
conda & Pacific, the Montana Union has
been losing money. If the lease is can
celed the road will again become part of
the Union Pacific system. The latter
company will use the track into Butte,
but it remains to be seen what the North
ern Pacific will do. 1t will be at the
mercy Of the Union Pacific as to trackage
to Garrison. It is thought here that the
line to Garrison, or else complete the
Helena, Boulder Valley Il Butte from its
present terminus at Calvin junction,

LONDON, Aug. 3.--The Times says:
The Royal Geographical society has re-
ceived the following telegram from
Baron Nordensjold: "The steamer
Ragadald Jarl, which conveyed the Well
man expedition to the polar regions, has
been crushed in the ice near Walden is
land. Six men who were with the eXpe-
dition have returned to Norway. The
other members Of the party continued
northwood afoot on the ice, but it is evi-
IDENTIFY impossible for them to penetrate
far, and the expedition is likely to return
to the Swedish houses at Mossel bay.
In August and September there will
probably be no ice between Enyl and
Icefjord, and Mossel bay will then be ac-
cessable. I think the relief expedition
desirable,''

Railroad Mineral Lands.

The secretary of the interior has made
an important ruling with reference to
mineral lands selected by railroads.
When lands have been returned by the
surveyor general as mineral lands, a hear
ing may be had to determine their char
acter. When lands selected by railroad
company are within mineral belt or
proximate to a mineral claim, the COM
pany will be required to file with the
local land office an affidavit setting forth
that none Of the lands are mineral The
commissioner will cause examination to
to be made, and If any of the lands are
within six miles of a mineral entry, a
supplemental list will be prepared and
the local land office will receive protests
or contests within sixty days. The re-
naming lands will be certified to the
department for approval.

Willard Bennett, who had been spend
ing few days in Deer Lodge, left Mon
day for the Royal Gold, which he expects
to have in full operation again in few
days The recent shutdown only in
volved suspension Of work in the slopes
and at the mill, development in the tun-
nels having been prosecuted continu-
ously. Vast ore reserves are now opened
up, sufficient to keep the mill in constant
operation many months and to warrant
the owners in counting on a steady pay
ment of dividends. With ten stamp
mill the Royal has made the enviable
record of 100000 in dividends in eight
paid for a vast amount Of development
and other permanent improvements. 1t
is yet in the infancy of its career and its
further operation is certain to place it in
the front rank Of Montana's great gold
producers, The recent suspension of
milling operations was not occasioned by
lack Of ore, but by a heavy flow Of sur
face water in the slopes, which rendered
| the extraction of ore difficult and waste
full, and BY the high water in the creek
hard by, which damaged the mill foun-
dation to a considerable extent and threw
the shaftings out Of line, D. A. Sterritt,
formerly mill superintendent for the
Champion company, has been secured
by the Royal people to take charge Of
their mill and is now on the ground in

THE YEXED QUESTION
TENURE OF THE COUNTY COMMlS-
SlONERS TO BE TESTED.

A. II. U. Voters Officially Urged to Sup
Cascade County PopuIist Ticlxet-The
knights of Labor i'll Line.
Attorney General Haskell has decided
to bring the county commissioner ques-
ton to the supreme court as soon as pos
sible, and to that end has written the
following letter:
ave are confronted with the question
whether county commissioners are to be
elected this year, or whether the present
incumbents will hold for term of four
years. In order to settle this question
without delay and to determine whether
county commissioners should be elected
this year or not, we have decided that the
matter can be carried to the supreme
court and settled at an early date in the
following manner: BY having the chair
man and secretary of the county conyen-
tions make separate certificate contain
ing the nominees for the office of county
commissioners and send it to the county
clerk, and at the same time have the
county clerk refuse to file this certificate,
but retain it in his office. Upon his re-
fusal to file this certificate we would
request the county attorney to prepare a
petition for a writ Of mandate, or we
would do so and cause the same to be
served upon the county clerk of the
county. The county clerk would, through
his attorney, set up as defense thereto
that no county commissioners are to be
elected this year, for that the amendment
to the constitution was never legally
adopted and is no part of the constitu-
ton; hence never was in force or effect.
All of this will be without expense to
the county, and the clerk will not be re-
uuired to appear in the supreme court,
but appear by attorney without any cost
to him.
"Our reasons for making this request
are that in our judgment there are no
county commissioners to elect this year;
but by such a proceeding the question
can be tested in the supreme court with
out detriment to any one; and il the court
should decide that there are no county
commissioners to be elected this year,
each Of the three political parties will
thereby be saved the necessity of making 2
such nominations and the candidates
could be dropped from the tickets and
thus save complications that would arise
later on
The law does not allow certificates Of
nomination to be filed prior to Septen=
bert, but the attorney general suggests
that the case be brought up Immediately
after that date, SO as to have the question
fairly and fully decided BY the supreme
commissioners have been assessed or ex-
pended any money for their election.

The Toledo mine and concentrator on
Mill creek, west Of Sheridan, were sold
last week at sheriff S sale for $4,000 to
Levi Cartier, who held a mortgage of
$4,000 on the property. The Toledo, in
the days when silver and lead were worth
fair price, was one Of the best proper
ties in that district, and the mine is by
no means exhausted. The concentrator
was erected four years ago at cost Of
$4,000.
