The Non-Forfeiture Law.

Livingston Enterprise: There is said
% be a. movement on foot by non-resi-
dent ciaim owners to have congress
re-enact the non-fCrfeiture law. by
which mining claims may be held with
out the expenditure of the 800 required
to hold title -ee-sucfn property. such a
measure Is not calculated to benefit
any person except eastern spectators,
tends to defeat development of mining
properties and will find no encourage
ment among prospectors or mine own
ers throughout the Rocky mountain
region who are interested in the de-
velopment of the country's resources.
NO claim that will not justly the ex-
pendfture of the required 500 for an

and where property has a value that
VIII warrant the belief that 1T can be
made to contribute to the nations min

PEELED to spend a reasonable sum an
nual development is worth retaining.
sentation law Is therefore of no benefit
except to corporations or nonresident
owners who desire to hold a number of
claims, without expense to await THE
development of district by poor pros
pectors and mine owners who invari-
ABLY are prepared to do representation
work and therefore opposed to any
congressional action to avoid forfeiture
of mining claims. This condition was
fully appreciated by the people of South
Dakota who, through their representa-
tive in congress, had that state ex-
cepted from the provisions of the for
mer non-forfe5ture law, and If the
is again brought before con-
gress Montana's representative and
senators should see that ii Is either de-
feated or that this state is excepted
from its provisions.

Labor In Montana

Great Fails Tribune: Organized
LABOR In Montana Is now in session at
anaconda. That is to say such Of its
representatives as could be got togeth-

meeting has been productive of some

mas resulted in uniting the State In

ana Labor assembly, heretofore rival

user IS on material benefit, for there is
not room enough in this or any other
state for workingmen to indulge in a
multiplicity OF central organizations
ana the consequent diversity of opin-
ION ana working at cross purposes that
must follow such a course. In unity
there Is strength, and Just now labor
needs to be intelligently unified. To
TINS extent the Anaconda conference
mas done well, but glance at the per-
sonnet Of the convention as shown by
the list of delegates must be some
thing OF disappointment. In this
great state, in the very corner of which
labor is organized, the only cities rep
resented are Butte, Helena, Great
Fails, Anaconda. Misoula, Belt, Hamil-
ton, and Sand Coulee. This is a poor
showing. Ii will not do to excuse the
lack or attendance on the score of poy-
erty or economy, for there is no city
put that could Oxford to send out at
least one representative. To go a lit
tie further. the Miners union. the larg-

Advance In Mining.

Western Mining News: 1t Is certain
ly cheering news to note the advance
in mining throughout the entire min
eral districts, and more especially that
OF Montana. Idaho and other states of
the West. Ii looks as though the time
was not far distant when the Rocky
mountain aud other sections of the
Northwest win become the richest and
most prosperous portions of the hemi-
sphere. Within the past two years
wonderful strides have been made in
nearly every district. Coming events
are casting their shadows before and II
IS only matter of a few years before
remarkable discoveries of gold depos-
It's, quartz and placer, are discovered,
Which Will turn the tide of speculation

beautiful and satisfying aspects of hu-

fault Of a thoughtless and impulsive
genera ton.
The conditions in Montana. fortu-
nately, do not demand excessive aims

preston Which has prevailed In almost
every part of the American union for
many months past, the laboring men OF
Montana have found the past summer
one or comparative prosperity. In an

state labor has found profitable en-
ployment; the frugal and Industrious
man ordinarily should find himself I'm

that there are many very poor people
IN this state and in even the most

RAZOR AND PISTOL.
Used by George l. johnson to End His
Earthly Career.

Earthly Career.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: George
l.. Johnson. colored cook for several
years In the employ OF III. c. Henry,
who was for year in the asylum at
Steilacoom. cut his throat with a razor
yesterday. and then shot himself In the
right temple with small revolver.
Fsse~aeed was committed IN the pretty
little home OF johnson at 1109 William
son street, and must have occurred
about 2 o'clock, for at that time a
message was received at police head
quarters saying that there was a crazy
man on Division street and asking for
an officer. The sheriff's Office was no
titled and deputy sent out to the adj
dress. Nothing could be found at the
address given, and later when another
call came In from Williamson street
Johnson's dead body was found.
The frenzied man had bolted the door
before finishing his work, and the off,
GERS were compelled to break II in. The
sight that met their eyes was an aw-
full one. On the kitchen table lay
razor all covered with blood. Ciots OF
blood were also on different portions OF
the floor. and a carmine stream ran
from the kitchen to the bedroom. In
this room on the floor was the body OF
Johnson. lying in a pool OF blood, his
throat cut just over the windpipe for a
space of two inches. There was bull
let hole in his right temple. from which
considerable blood had flown, and in
his hand was clenched with a death
grip a small. old-fashioned revolver.
The body was alone In the house, the
crazy man having driven his family
out. Deputy Coroner Teater was sent
for and had the body taken to Butter
worth's undertaking rooms.
Johnson had been down town. and
went home about noon. Some OF the
neighbors say he had trouble with his
wife. and drove her out of the house.
This Is the time the telephone message
was sent into headquarters. Mrs. John
son Is In a precarious condition. She
could not be seen last night, and bur
meager details OF his actions could be
secured.
johnson was well known and highly
thought of by the colored population
OF this city. He was brought out here
three years ago by j. Loring Whiting
ton, and kept by that gentleman as a
cook and servant in his household.
When Mr.. Wilmington gave up house
keeping johnson was engaged as a
cook by II. c. Henry, and Continued I'm
that gentleman's employ until a few
weeks ago. when he resigned, claiming
the work was becoming too arduous.
A little over year ago Johnson was
sent TO the insane asylum at Stella
COON. his trouble leading him to ex-
travaeant religious beliefs. He was
on probation a short time
and returned TO this CITY.
For several days past he has been act
ing rather modify. and II Is thought
that his old mania returned yesterday
afternoon and caused him TO take his |
life. He was a good-looking man about
30 years old.
