A large number of prospectors

were B. G. Hemminger, Constable
Carlton, T. J. Jones, Tim Callahan,
George Fry, Della Fry, Davis,
Col. Baines, E. L. Whitney, Judge
Hardness and Others. The boys
are all located in the new camp.
Jones and Hemminger have loca-
tons on this side of the divide and
reports have it that this location
looks better than the origional dis
covery. Nearly all the Bonner's
Ferry boys are fayorably locat d if
the strike amounts to anything.
All claim that the strike is in Idaho
and the mineral belt extends west
several miles into Idaho. A good
trail can be made from Bonner's
Ferry. Nearly all returned across
the hills near where the new trail
will run. The fact that the bel
runs across the divide towards the
Ferry makes it certain that if the
new strike amtmt to anything
this point will get the benefit of it
as an Quitting point. AS to the
merits of the camp, it is yet toe

CHANCE TO GUESS
"hat Washington Correspondents
opine President Cleveland's
Message Will Contain.
TARIFF, FINANCE, DIPLOMACY
These Three Subjects Will Be the
Burden of His Sopg-For
Gold.


BY Associated Press
| WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-There are good
reaeons for the belief that in his forth
coming message to congress President
cleveland will strictly adhere to his pre-
vlous utterances in regard to tariff and
financial questions, and it is altogether
probable that these suhjocte, together
with that of foreign affairs. will OCCUPY
practically the whule message to the ex-
clueion of sll other matters.
1t Is believed that the president will
commend the present tariff as step in
the direction of tightening the burdens
OF the people, and though it has thus far
failed to bring sufficient amount Of
revenue to meet the demands it may be
conditions.
That he will recommend legislation re-
firing greenbacks by the issue of low
rate bonds seems to be almost certain,
and it is not unlikely that he will ask
congress as an alternative TO authorize
the secretary Of the treasury to issue
low rate bonds, in his discretion, within
certain limits, to protect the gold reserve.
In the realm of foreign affairs, the
subject which will take the greatest
share of attention at the hands of the
president and from it's nature will re
quire most statesmanlike and cautious
treatment, will be the Cuban insurrec-
ton. While there is reason for believing
that the president steadily adheres to
the view expressed so forcibly by ex-Sen-
;.tor Edmunds, to the effect that, as con.
tentions exist on the island, there is no
warrant in internationa! law or prece-
dents for recognition Of the belligerency
Of the insurgents, there are indications
that very recent events and noticeably
the adoption by the insurgents of a poll
cy of wanton destruction OF private prop
erty, including vast sugar estates be-
longing to American cinzens, may oblige
him to change the passive attitude he
has occupied hitherto, in favor of Il more
vigorous and positive line Of action.

What the Chief of Ordnance Thinks OF
ArminE tho Militia.
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--The most inn
portant subject treated by Gen. Flagler,
chief of ordnance, in his annual report
to the secretary OF war is the arming and
equipping of the militia of the United
States. He calls attention to the INSULT
cheney of the appropriations annually
made for the purpose, and suggests that
in the event that congress does not pro-
vide more literally for this important
branch of the country's safety that it at
least should make considerable changes
in the law with the object Of permitting
the ordnance bureau to replace old arms
now in use with weapons of serviceable
type and uniform character. Some Of
the states have requested that their
present arms be exchanged in favor of
the new magazine rifle, and Gen. Flag
Ter shows that it would cost about
81 100000 to make the change and that
the new rifle, while suited to long range,
is not 30 we'll adapted for close range and
hard service as the Springfield rifle. His
conclusion is that it would be better to
retain the Springfield gun at present
during peace, while if war should break
out the well-drilled militia would in two
weeks famllarize themselves with the
magazine gun.

The many friends of John J. Hcaly,

learn that he had one of the closest calls
in his adventuresome and thrilling ca.
reer a few weeks ago in Alaska, where
he has been in the trading business fox

not seriously, by deck hand on the

some words which resulted in the ex-
Choteau county sheriff knocking his

THE RUMBl|NG Of THE RAILS
An Estimate Of the Number and Value
Of the Cattle Shipped From
Montana This Year
Work Of Grading at Clancy Proceed
ing Nig0rOns!y--Ahout SIXTY
Men at Work

Yesterday several we'll known cattle
men and the stock representative of one
Of the principal lines of railroad between
/ st. Paul and Chicago were discussing
the cattle shipments from Montana this
! season, their extent and the amount of
money brought into the state from cat
tie sales. The numDer of cars of cattle
which passed the Minnesota transfer
from Montana and the Dakotas was
l0,8oO cars. TO estimate tba exact pro-
portion of cars that contained Montana
stock is a little difficult from the fact
that a good many cattle raised
in Montana, and belonging to
Montana owners. were shipped
from stations in Dakota. However, it
was estimated that 1000 cars would be
safe and conservative figure to express
the number of Montana cattle ship
ments, and it was the general opinion
that this figure was more likely to be an
underestimate than an overcstilnate.
Ihc average numbc" of cattle to car
was fixed at q head, which gives to-
tai Of li1 900 head of cattle shipped.
10 fix on an average price per head,
considering the variations of the market
during the season, the proportion OF
steers, COWS, heifers, etc, was more
complicated problem. One shipment of
a car OF fat steers made by Simon Pepln
OF liayre during the last season brought
an average price Of 5000 per head,
while some cars of poor stock sold as
low as SlS per head during the season.
Striking an average, it was finally de
ternlincd that so per head would prove
fair average price. This figure would
make the total shipments of Montana
cattle during the season of 1893 come tc
the handsome sum Of 50, 10000.

CITY INFRINGEMENT.
The Various City Departments Are Won
dering Where the Lightning
viii Strike

Will Strike.
Al the recent meeting of the city alder
men n committee Of the whole it was
determined to ruthlessly insert the
pruning knife in city expenses and cut
them down to figure which will admit
of a saving of about $1,000 a year. At
least that is the information that leaked
out of the committee room, and, in con-
sequence, the city officials are doing a
good deal of guessing as to just where
the economics will be made and whose
corns will be hurt in the process. The
meeting was supposed to be executive
and no outsiders were allowed to be
present, but it IS pretty generally under
stood that considerable saving will be
effected in the police department by al
lowing the position of city marshal to
remain vacant till after the next city
election, when four new aldermen will
be elected. There was also good deal
of talk of the possibility of dispensing
with the office of police sergeant, and
thus making a still further economy.
The city engineer's office is another
place where curtailment will probably
be effected. The increase in the expense
of street repairs has been one of the most
marked items in the recent report Of the
city clerk. This is not due to any ex-
travagance in the department, but q
good deal Of extra work has been done
through the city engineer's office. In
the months to come only the most nee
essary aud imperative improvements will
be pursued and an effort made to keep
the expenses of the department at the
lowest possible notch.
1t is thought that by these economics
and others of minor character that the
expenses Of the city government can be
SO reduced as to come within the figures
of last year, notwithstanding the extra
expense incurred during the first six
months of the fiscal year.
