New Copper Discoveries.

William, familiarly known as
Billy Jackson, an attache of the
Blackfoot Indian agency,s:w
stopped off here on his way'.to
Helena, where he is to testify in
the case against Jones, the train
robber, is exhibiting some very
fine specimens of copper ore taken
from a recent discovery in the
Flathead country. Joe Brown and
fellow prospector by the name of
Starks are said TO be the parties
who first ran across the lead. They
struck it last July while following
their calling. The groupings are
said to extend several miles
through a limestone and porphry
formation. Small shafts have been
sunk on the lead at several points
and the result in each case proved
highly satisfactory to those who
did the work. Jackson thinks the
deposit of copper ore will on care
full Investigation DO found to be
something stupendous. He says
another year will witness some rich
discoveries in that section. Twen-
ty-nine mineral locations have been
made. The lead is situated doz-
en- or so miles south of McDonald's
lake and almost directly across the
main range from st. Marys lake.
1t is in very mountainous section
of country, where the snow lasts
three-quarters of the year. A
pack trail is the only road connect
ing with the outside world. This,
it is hoped, wili be made into a
fairly passable wagon trail next
season. Mr.. Jackson is very en-
thusiastic over the new copper
country and feels confident it will
witness a large amount of develop
ment next year.-Great Falls corr

under tender mothers care. The
happy, rioting days of youth, like
a phantasmagoria, chase each other
across the halls of memory. The
cares of maturer years are laid
aside and we are child again just
for tonight. On thanksgiving
morning we were up bright and
early, racing up and down the
garden, brushing the frost from
the chickwood and startling the
sombre stiffness of the morning
with our shouts. We were all
there, brothers, sisters, cousins,
friends. The day was given over
10 pleasure and feastirg We
played everything. went on de-
lightful rides, made the most of
that happy period of youth which
comes, ah me, but once in life.
Our father got those things for us
which were out of our reach, and
our darling mothers watchful care
shielded US from harm or bound the
bleeding fingers and kissed away
the pain. We went to church and
looked with awe upon the solemn
visage minister and attentive con-
gregation. We tried to join in the
singing and were rewarded by an
approving smile from our mother.
After church came the dinner. The
turkey lay upon the great platter
in royal state. OF course we took
a drumstick or the gizzard. We
were in the seventh heaven of de-
light. Tide mince pies suffered
fearfully. Great inroads were
made upon t,e sauces and piles OF
goodies. Then we made the most
outrageous wishes and pulled the
wishbone, the one getting the long
est half being sure of having his
wish granted. Then to play again
and merrily did we keep it up unit
the drowsy god claimed our sub
mission and we were tucked away
in our little beds.
Alas, how those early friends
are scattered to the four quarters
of the earth, fighting the stern bat
tie of life, or gone to the echoles'
shore. Wherever they may be
may their thoughts wander back
as ours do, to the scenes of child
hood which we and they enacted
together.

They Voted Strong.

Silver carried the day by a good
big majority at the st. Louis
Transmisslssippi congress. The
majority report from the committee
on resolutions was clear and strong
for free coinage. 1t was intro
duced by Chairman Bryan of Ne
braska.
The silver coinage portion was
voted on by state roll call and was
adopted by vote of 2144 to 673.
The currency question resolutions
complete were as follows.
At this junction the chairman of
the committee on resolutions, Hon.
W. J, Bryan of Nebraska presented
the majority report of the com
mittee on resolutions as follows:
Resolved, First, that in direct
opposition to the plan known as
the Baltimore plan, the sense of
this conventi, n is that all issues of
paper money should be by the gen
eral government.
Second, that it is the sense of
this convention that the pending
proposition for a reformation of
our paper currencz is one that IN
our judgment would create addi.
tional and perhaps insurmountable
difficulties in the way of the return
to bimetallism, and that we are op-
posed to the same.
Third. Resolved, That in any
currency reform acted upon, we de-
mand that a constituent part there
of shall be the reconciliation of
silver, or that it shall be of such a
characte" as to be no impediment
to our return to bimetaliism as it
existed prior to 1873.
Whereas, An approaching money
standard impairs all contracts,
bankrupts enterprises, makes
money profitable by increasing its
purchasing power, and suspends
productive forces of our people:
and,
Whereas. The spoilation conse-
quent upon the outlawry of silver
in the interest of the credit class,
by constantly increasing the value
Of gold, is undermining all indus
trial society;
Therefore, We demand the i'm
mediate restoration of free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver
at the present ratio of l6 to l,
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation on earth.

In HIS annual message to corr
gress, President Cleveland writes to
great length about foreign powers,
recognizes that there is republi-
can form of government established
on the Sandwich Islands, touches
up the Bering saa business, makes
mention of our friendly relation
with France, says Germany is
kicking against that provision of
the customs tariff act which i'm
poses discriminating duty on
sugars coming from countries pay
ing an export bounty thereon;
says he deplores the scrap be-
tween China and Japan, and thinks
this country will be called upon to
arbitrate it, The secretary of the
treasury is upheld in his recent
bond issue. Aside from the fact
that be is in favor of free coal and
free iron, and would "like to see
every particle of differential duty
in favor of refined sugar stricken
out" he has nothing 10 say about
the tariff. He gives congress a
half column history of the army
and the bad Apache Indians, but
says nary word in favor of silver.
He has paragraph about the
Pacific railroads; favors. building
places of confinement for united
States prisoners-also favors the
gold standard, and says he wants
that ten>per-cent tax on the circu-
lation of state banks removed.
He tells all about the postal SER
vice, the navy, the army and the
cattle and seed departments, and
if you can keep track of the fig
ures, you will be pretty we'll
posted after you have read it. He
conc lrs in the opinion that the
commissioner of the general land
Office should be relieved of the duty
of deciding litigated land cases,
and favors the creation of a non-
partisan court for that work. He
does not think that allotments of
reservation lands to Indians should
be done with rush. The INDIANS
are not, in bis opinion, intelligent
enough to be self-supporting, and
when the self>supporting scheme
by allotment fails, the wretched
pauperism of the allottees which
results, is worse than the original
condition of regulated depend
ence. He says the indications are
that the detail of army officers as
Indian agents will result in the i'm
proved management of the reser-
vations. THAT statement undoubt-
edly settles the aspirations of AL.
Hamilton and Major Steell.)
Taken as a whole the message is
not very weighty document, but
nevertheless, should be read by
everyone.

Random Shots.

American lnStltuulOn. IL had It's
origin in bleak New England where
one would naturally suppose, the
inhabitants have very little for
which to be thankful. Each year
the president, with the single ex-
ception of Thomas Jefferson, has
issued proclamation fixing the
last Thursday of November as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
The governors of the various states
follow suit. and sometimes, as IN
the case of unique Pennoyer, trump.
Thanksgiving day, in its original
acceptation, was exactly suited to
the stern and forbidding Puritan.
1t was a sort of a "God bless me
and my wife, my son John and his
wife," affair. Time has mellowed
its asperities and relieved many of
its harsh features. 1t is no longer
the custom to be thankful for the
misfortunes and adversities of
others, as did our puritan fathers.
Thanksgiving should come before
election instead of after, as at
present When the campaign is as
yet undecided and everything wears
roseate hue tits easy to be thank
full. All the candidates, and their
friends, not knowing what cards
lie in the hole, would be able to
Join in the acclamations. 1t is a
hard matter for a defeated candi-
date to posture himself squarely
upon his knees and rsturn thanks
| for his defeat and the success of his
adversary. 1t may be divine but
it is certainly not human. AS it is
now, with thanksgiving day follow
ing election, the triumphant C" ndi-
dates and their friends will be the
only ones to observe it and it will
become sort of a ratification
meeting.
The man who drives the quill at
tended divine services on thanks
giving day this year. Such thing
happened to him once before in his
lifetime. The minister raised his
brows in token of surprise but soon
recovered his wanted calm. The
sermon was an exceptionally good
one and urged all the congregation
to cast about in their own minds
for those things which have blest
their lives and for which they have
occasion to be thankful. We have
thought the matter over and have
concluded that we are thankful:
That our beloved Grover is
effectually muzzled for the balance
of his term.
That our present board of county
commissioners will soon be among
the things that were.
That the recent election has
given the country confidence,
and there are many signs of re-
viual of business.
That we know more about a
great many things, especially poll
tics, than we did only one short
year ago.
That we are not Chinaman, in
danger of being japanned, with
monarchy loving Grover offering
to see that it is done right.
That our whiskey has not been
watered as plentifully this year as
it was last.
That-well, the Acanth could
not hold all the reasons for which
we are, more or less, thankful.

THE RECONCILIATION.
Corbett and Mitchell Shook Hands
After the Fight.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 25.-Cor-
bett and Mitchell, after the fight, shook
hands and bridged the chasm between
them. 1t was not a proceeding, how
ever. which was at first relished by the
champion. The reconciliation was
brought about by the officials of the
club when the two fighters stood as
companions before the bar of Justice.
While waiting for the proceedings to
begin the men were the center of diff
ferent groups.
Jim, want you to go with me and
shake hands with MITCHELL" said Joe
Vendig.

Piled Corbett. He has said so many
mean things about me that don't care
to make up"
but you are the winner and it is
your duty" urged Vendig.
well, all right. Pill 60" finally said
Corbett, with shrug of the shoulders.
and forthwith lie walked over to where
Mitchell was sitting. Mitchell got up
and warmly took the hand that was
offered him, and then there were ex-
plantations. Mitchell said he mad often
been misquoted. but it was true that he
had SAID mean things of Corbett, but
that was when he did not know
what kind OF fellow the champion
was. Now he was willing to let by
cones be bygones and to admit that he
had ill-used Corbett and then referring
to the fight said that he had met bet
ter man and had been fairly whipped.
Then some one came up and interrupt
ed the conversation, but not before the
long-eXisting feud between the men
had been settled.

The first game in the tie for first place

of seven and one-seveRth. While
higher averages have been made during

Glow looked sure winner. and played
brilliantly up to the twenty-frst inning;

Of $4,000 was formally turned over to

cheering throng at their heels wherever
they went.

MAKING THE MATCH.
How the Great Contestants Were
Brought Together.


JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 25.-The Cor
bett- Mitchell fight today is logically the
outcome of the downfall of the twelve
years idol Of the pugilistic world.
Mitchell had fought draw with Sulli-
van when Sullivan was in his prime.
Before Mitchell and Corbet tmet 6. CHI
otner in the ring, Mitchell. equally with
he San franciscan, was a fol midable
claimant for the laurels which COrbett
wrested from the pride of Boston in
New Orleans year ago. When Corbett
was proclaimed the champion he had to
face torrent of challenges.
1t was a public cry that Corbett
should meet the handsome English lad
first, and the conviction settled itself in
Corbett's mind that fight with Mitchell
that would be war to the knife was in
evitable. A long prelude of cross-firing
i'll the press finally brought the men
together. An agreement was prepared
early last summer and the month of
December selected
FOR THEDATE.
The articles OF agreement Included
stake of $4,000 each, to be posted by the
men, and all invitation to the then
three leading clubs in America to bid
against each other for the honor of the
hattie ground. Even before the match
was made Mitchell had signed a prom

their eyes southwark for money and a

the opportunity to fight without annoy
ance and with police protection. Then
from mass of offer4 the pngilists picked
out the one from Jacksonville for serious
consideration. j. E. L. BowdeD, one of
JackSonville'S citizens, was East when
the death knell ofsthe Coney Island club
was sounded. He rushed back here, con-
suited the Florida statutes, found no
prohibition against boxing contests,
sounded the oldest and the best and most
influential citizens and found backing
on both sides, and the Duyal Athletic
club was born. Then the commissioner
of the club went East.

agreement the club offered purse of
