THE OUTLOOK FOR SHEEP.
! Montana Authority That Does Not
Consider it Altogether Dark.

Montana Authority That Does Not
Consider it Altogether Dark.
The question that now agitates Mon
tana wool growers aside from the price
Of wool is what will mutton sell for the
coming fall. We believe that good NUT
ton wethers will bring at least $3.50 per
head by October, and there are good
reasons for this conclusion. The stam-
pede out of the sheep industry caused
by the free wool proposition is, if we can
believe the reports of eastern stock jour
nals at an end. and we have no fears Of
a stampede to get out by western men.
There was a rush Of unripe mutton on
the market last year and many thousands
were fed during the winter, but this was
not result of lack of confidence in the
industry, but came about by the force of
circumstance. Sheep owners were
heavily in debt and We're eager to cancel
their obligations to the banks and
thought they could realize on their NUT
ton, but a concert of action ruined the
market. At this writing finances are
easier and since eastern owners are about
out OF stock and western growers will
keep their tlocks if for no other purpose
than raising mutton, we are confident
that prices must soon come to q firm and
remunerative basis. We are aware that
the majority Of Montana wool growers
do not anticipate that mutton will regain
Its former good prices for several years
and so far as that is concerned it may
not, but we expect to see our best Mon
to,,
at from $3.50 to $500 per head, which
will insure $3.50 at home, and next year
mutton sheep ought to bring from one
half to one dollar per head more than
this fall. The supply of western mutton
will be light this year since the shi ipment
was close last year, and included lambs
in many Instances, and this is one Of our
chief reasons for expecting Il firm mar

have any right to annul the law.
This the federal courts have done
in holding that judgment can be entered
in ''coined dollars" for the purpose Of
annnlling the act of congress making
treasury notes legal tender.
In England it was a felony to discredit
the coin Of the realm. The courts of
Granoe have, held that parties cannot BY
special contracts discriminate between
the bank notes Of the Bank Of France
and coin money. Several state courts
passed upon this question and construed
the law substantially it was held by
courts of France.
It is to the interest Of society, says
Lane, that money should be used in bust
ness, but it is unjust that borrowers, in
addition to the risk Of business, should
be held responsible for the fluctuations
Of the currency. When the money OF
the country is loaned under gold con
tracts then the money power can in
crease its wealth by forcing gold to pre-
MUM and compel the debtors to pay
much more than the amount borrowed

Scored Another Failure.

The Colgate searching party, sent out
by the Evening Missoulian, under the
direction Of Ben F. Kelley, the trapper
who escorted the Carlin hunting party
out of the mountain businesses last fall,
and which left Missoula June 6, returned
Unexpectedly Sunday afternoon. The
party made a thorough search of the
river banks and surrounding country for
distance of several miles in all direc-
tions from the spot where the unfortu-
nate cook was deserted. Not single
trace of the missing man could be found,
nor was there anything to indicate that
he had wandered from the camp where
he had been left. The Kelley party en-
countered many hardships on the trip,
but stuck faithfully to the task until all
hope Of finding Colgate's bones had to
be abandoned. It is now generally be-
lieved the old man perished near the
spot where deserted, and that his remains
were carried away by the waters, which
attained a height of 40 feet above low
water mark during the spring.

STIRRING UP A FUSS

The Populists of Granite County Inau-
gurate a Campaign of Organization and
With Great success-Je efferson County

Justus Rice, formerly Of Deer Lodge,
now known to fame as the cowboy
preacher, with his wife, who accom-
panied him on his last visit here, is hav-
ing trouble with the authorities of At
lantic City, New Jersey. Objection is
made to his street preaching on the
ground that it disturbs the peace.
The arrest Of Rice and his wife has
created furore in the political and re-
ligious circles Of Atlantic City, the
Christian element having espoused their
cause and the city administration that Of
the gambling and saloon element, which
was primarily at the bottom Of their ar
rest. The New York papers are devot-
ing much space to the row and Rice and
his wife bid fair to achieve national re-
nown.
AS a boy Rice left Deer Lodge for
Butte several years ago where he subse-
quently developed into a "capper" for
sure-thing games. Later he became con
verted and still later was married to the
Salvation Army girl who converted him,
and the two became SO enthusiastic in
evangelical work that they branched out
in the work of saving sinners indepen-
dent OF the Salvation Army which, as
Rice expressed it, was too slow for them.

POPuLISTS WARMING UP.
III Granite County They Have Organized
Club in Every Town.

In Granite County They Have Organized
Club i'll Every Town.
The Peoples party Of Granite county
has been very busy organizing clubs
throughout that county, says the Ana
conda Standard. John L. Thompson, j.
w. McBee and Earnest Firshue are the
organizers, and have made tour Of the
entire county. Clubs have been started
at Drummond, Stone Station and Bear
mouth. At Stone Station a mass meet
ing was held in the school house, and
many Of the most prominent citizens are
said to have joined the club and pledged
themselves to support the Populist
ticket. The officers Of the club are:
Jacob Frunzin, chairman; r. II. Here
ford, secretary; Alexander Wright, treas
urer.
At Drummond the organizers were
very much pleased with the hearty re-
ception accorded them. A meeting was
held in the hotel, and a large club or
ganized with the following officers: D.
Berry. chairman; William Cook, secre-
tary; Samuel Richie, treasurer.
At Bearmouth large number of peo-
pie We're enrolled in the Populist ranks,
and showed their interest in many in
stances by travelling long distances in
order to be present at the meeting. A
club was organized with the following
officers Hugh Monahan, chairman;
Patrick Clavin, secretary; Ed Lannin,
treasurer.
J. Z. Thompson, chairman of the or
ganizing committee feels assured of vic
tory this fall in Granite county, and
thinks it will be useless for the other
parties to make any campaign in the
county. He says ''equal rights to all,
special privileges to none" is the motto
that his party will adhere to, and lead to
victory

The Remedy Is Votes.

There is party Of reform now rapidly
gaining strength. 1t will prosper as it
adheres to the standard of integ gritty and
truth, and not one hour longer. There
was belief that long lease Of power
had made the Republican party corrupt,
and long exclusion from power had made
the Democratic party pure. No one be-
lieves so now. Everybody now sees that
both Of them are alike, and that there is
from this point of view, nothing to
choose between them; each, everybody
knows, lies, and cheats, and steals, up to
the full limit of its opportunities. This
Writer has not lost faith in the great
masses of the common people, of which
the agricultural and rural population
constitute the bulk. He knows how
grievously, and alas, how easily, they are
misled to their own misdoings; but he
does not believe they have ever been
corrupted. If they understand matter
they will do right; this plutocracy
knows, and hence the stupendous lying
and fraud which they practice at q stu
pendous cost. The ultimate cause of
this depression" is unquestionably this
all pervading venality and mendacity;
and without doubt the chief immediate
cause is contraction or destruction of the
peoples money. The remedy is votes.-

A San Francisco gentleman, S. b. Rob
bins, who recently returned to that city
from the Alaska gold fields, gives out
the following facts concerning mining
on the Yukon: "Last year over 400 men
crossed into the Yukon basin, some
equipped with only a single blanket and
enough food to last them few days.
The wages are half ounce-about $S-
day, but there were two men for every
job in sight. Every man who goes into
the Yukon should have at least $3.50 to
s4O0. That is enough to carry him
through for year. He can then winter
in the main basin and be at once pre-
pared to commence work when the

A RIGHTEOUS MEASURE.
Representative Lanes I:ill Looking t.
Equalization OF Currency Values.

WAsu1NGroN, July 14.--Business cir
cles will be interested in a bill reported
by the house committee on judiciary,
providing that all contracts hereafter
executed for payment of any sum Of
money, whether in gold, silver or coin,
may be discharged by any money which
is by law legal tender for the payment Of
debts. The author Of the measure, Lane,
Of Illinois, explains that it is intended to
regulate the practice in the federal
courts in regard to entering judgments
and to preserve the stability and uni
formity of the currency.
The law is now that gold and silver
coin and treasury notes are legal tender
for the payment of all debts. public and
private. For private transactions be-
tween individuals the law makes both
kinds Of money equal, and Lane says

New Process of cold Extraction.

For some time past a party of Boston
capitalists have been down in Nova
Scotia establishing a mill on the premises
of the Winsor Foundry company, in
Winsor, for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the value of new process of ey-
tracing gold from rock. IT their pro
cess will do what is claimed for it, it is
remarkable thing indeed, and they
claim that it has thus far done the work
expected. The new process is a comb-
nation of chlorination with ANAL gama-
ton. The process of extraction is this: ::
The mercury is first combined with salt
by the action of electricity, forming a
mercurial hydrate of sodium. This is
combined with acids, reducing it to such
strength that eight ounces of it will i'm
pregnate 400 gallons of water. This
water is kept in q tank and fed to the
mills as the ore is being ground. The
ore is ground in this solution, and the in
stant a particle of rock is parted and the
gold relieved, the precious metal in
stantly comes in contact with the solution
and the iron rollers, which relieve the
gold by crushing the rock, precipitate
the chlorides into the solution, setting
the mercury free right at the point where
the gold is liberated, causing instantan-
eous amalgamation. The particles Of
gold, which are covered with thin film
OF mercury, are forced through q large
body Of metallic mercury, and are then
arrested as amalgam. After this the
gold is treated in the ordinary manner.
1T is claimed that from barrel of ore
sent from Georgia. to be tested in this
mill, the amount Of precious metal ex-
tracted from it was equivalent to $34
per ton, while tests made by the ordin-
ary stamp mill revealed only - per ton.
The real secret of the whole process is
the utilization Of electricity in forming

In addition to a large body Of low grade,

Gently been encountered that gives as

average up to a fair figure. In the
meantime the properties will be ex-
plotted extensively and, it is confidently
| believed, they will develop into very
profitable producers.
The milling arrangement to be en-
ployed is something of novelty in its
way. In addition to a regular stamp
plant, in which the ore will be coarsely
milled, it is proposed to employ Hun
tington, through which the tailings from
the stamp mill will pass, against much
finer mesh. All the usual attendant de-
vices for capturing the gold will be en-
ployed in both mills, and it is reckoned
that very large percentage Of the assay
