The Residents of That Section Building
a New School House-Notes.
Regular Correspondence of The MAIL.
PRINCETON, Mont, Jan. Is, 1894.-The
corner stone of the Princeton school
house, which, when completed, will be
the first and only public building in the
district, was laid without any imposing
ceremonies on January 5th. No Masonic
lodges or other civic and military organl-
zatlons participated in the impressive
proceedings. I say impressive, because
those presenJ-two of the trustees and
their two co-laborers, who also made up
the sum total of the audience-were
deeply impressed with the solemnity of
the occasion, as anyone might have
guessed by taking a furtive glance at
their serious countenances as they rolled
the massive granite to its resting place.
This house, destined perchance to edu-
cate sound silver president and scores
of congressman Of like persuasion, is
to be OF logs resting on a stone founda-
tion 20 by 30 feet. The site on which it
in all Montana. The building will be
completed in time to celebrate the birth
day OF the "Father of Our Country
Feb. 22d-when, If all goes we'll, the
structure will be formally dedicated to
it's high mission by an inaugural enter
tainment and ball. The writer is much
pleased to note in The MAIL the action
Of the Philipsburg school board in rails
ing the salaries of the teachers. If there
ls any one occupation on the face Of the
earth which more than all others ought
to be encouraged in every way it is that
Of the teacher. Look at Europe, where
this profession IS almost literally starved,
and see the result in the emigration they
send US. Irefer, Of course, to the masses.
The comparatively few rich take good
care to give their offspring liberal edu-
cation. There is sentiment prevailing
in some quarters that because "times are
hard" the teacher should be paid less; but
is there any more justice in depressing
the teachers wages than that of the
miner and artisan?
The Royal Gold mine and mill is
making a splendid record for this dis
trict. [ learn from unofficial sources
that it's monthly output is between
$4,000 and $4,000. A good showing
that for en-stamp mill.
Another gold property to the south
west Of the Royal has gone under bond
recently and development thereon be-
gun, for the time being on a small scale
but / am not advised as to particulars,
which will transpire and be reported
later. ROLAND.

He Has Been Literally Robbed
by This Government.
CAUSE, ANTI-SILVER LEGISLATION
The People Have Suffered n Confis-
catlOn OF 3Sh Per Cent. Since NIayl,
Due to the Acts of the AmerI-
can COngress-HOw Far Can
They Carry IL and How
Long Will We StandItY

The American debtor has suffered a
confiscation Of 3715 per cent. since May
last. This confscation has been at the
hands Of the American congress. The
change on February ID, 1873, from the
silver standard to the gold standard, by
act of congress-, is the means by which
this confscation has been effected In
stead of the "dollar" of our debts being
measured by the value of 412115 grains of
standard silver, it is measured by 25.8
grams of gold. In May last gold rose to
Is to from % to l, and in June it rose
to % to 1, a rise of six points, or 3715
per cent. in the value of the gold dollar
the debtor has to pay. Tt requires 3715
per cent. more of our property to pay it..
This is plain contiscation that freemen
will not stand. The change of Austria
and India to the gold standard (Which
we were also on by act of congress) was
the immediate reason for this rise in gold
and resulting confiscation. All this is
undeniably shown in the little mono
graph on "The Silver Standard and the
Silver League" by Sidney Dell. The
emedy is to get off from the gold stand
ard at once. In despotic government,
universal confscation is always answered
with bloodshed. In free countries the peo-
pie should be able to right the wrong by
law. But if our senators and congress-
men are bought, not to see that we are
suffering universal confscation by the
gold standard, then the people will haye
to take the remedy in their own hands,
The American people are now threading
the wine press of coniscation to fatten
the holders of one hundr ed billions of
long-term bonds. If our representatives
in congress will not heed the groans Of
starving people, they may well beware
The President says ''wait awhile" But
we cannot afford to wait. The people
grow desperate.

NEWS ABOUT YHE MINIS
Work Being Pushed on the Sunrise
Company'S Property. .
Developments Have Proved That
They Have Good Mfne-A Vein
Eight Feet Thick-yV1li Erect

Considerable work has been going on
at the Sunrise property during the past
few months of which little has been said
in the public press. The Sunrise prop
critics are located short distance from
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES there and Stone
Station - near Henderson mountain
These claims were incorporated a few
years ago by r. M. Durfee and other
Philipsburgers and considerable work
has been done on them during that time.
Recently e. W. Sherman has taken
hold Of the property and tunnel has
been run in on the vein $50 feet
Further than that they could not go as
the air had become bad and work was
consequently discontinued and another
tunnel begun about l25 feet distant on
the same vein. This second tunnel is
now in about 80 feet and is in ore all
the way. We are informed that the
vein averages about eight feet in thick
ness throughout this latter working and
about two and one half feet thick in the
larger tunnel. The tunnel now being
pushed will be continued into the noun
tain until a length of $50 feet is attained
when crosscut will be run to the first
tunnel in order that circulation of air
may be obtained. Then one tunnel will
be pushed ahead from that point.
The company owns large number of
claims, and in addition to these they
have recently bonded several others,
until they now have about 5000 feet of
the apex Of the vein. The ore is prin-
cipally gold in the property they are
working on and averages about one
ounce of silver to one ounce of gold
They also have several silver mines in
the group.

put up ten-stamp mill in the spring

property Immediately, which they can
easily do as the ore is rich and they have

is borne in mind that they have al eight

Hand TO-MOrrow Night.
The arrangements for the masquerade
ball to be given by the Philipsburg band
ON tomorrow (Friday) evening are being
perfected as rapidly as possible. A con-
cert will be given on the street during
the afternoon, if the weather permits,
and the boys say that it will be COM

Among the rules that will be enforced
on the floor will be one prohibiting any
gentleman from appearing in a ladys
costume, or vice versa. Spectators will
be charged so cents each.
The orchestra will be composed of
seven pieces and several pieces of new
dance music will be introduced on the
occasion.
The affair will in all probability prove
a decided success as the dancing public
will all be on hand-a great number
having already slgniied their intention
of attending. Everybody should get out
and give the band boys lift.
Among those who have the affair in
