GOOD NEWS
TO MINERS,
"A Rate War OF Among the Va
riOUS SmelterS of Butte
City, Montana.
DEMOCRATIC PAPSUCKER BOUNCED.
Folsom FavOred---FaSt Ocean
Travel---Miners Wages
Are Raised.

There is little war on among the
various custom smelters of Butte and
the leasers are getting the benefit of
it. Up to short time ago there
was cast iron rate of $40 per ton
for treating copper ores, while for
silver ores the rate ran from $40 to
$12. The smelters all had the same
rate, so that the choice to leasers was
mainly matter of convenience, and
usually the leasers would prefer the
smelter which CHANGED to be hand
lest. During the present summer
however, the old rates have been
steadily cut, the competition for the
ore OF leasers being very lively. AT
first the cuts were all on the quiet.
1t was whis pered about among the
leasers that they could do little bet
ter at one smelter than at the rest
and there would be run of custom
to that place. The other smelters
would quickly get on to the fact
that one smelter was undertaking
and would meet the cut or better it.
After the cutting had been going
on some time in secret one of the
smelters issued a written statement
to leasers giving fixed rate at which
ores would thereafter be treated at
that smelter. This rate was prompt
ly met by the other competitors, sew
eral of them furnishing typewriter
offers. This was issued |, short time
ago and this placing of the reduc-
ton of rates in writing was said to
be by the Butte Reduc ton works.
The Parrot, the Colorado, and the
Helnze smelters with the Carson
Sampling works made the rate the
same as the Butte smelt;er.
This however, has not by any
means stopped the c:ntting. The
81 uelters are all suppos sed to stick by
he' rate of $3.50, alt oough there is
10 definite agreement among them.
t is whispered howev er, that cutting

Hurry the Pole.

Some time ago, at the request of
Postmaster-General Wilson, post
master Benson inaugurated system
of distributing the official weather
forecasts. The equipment was sent
and for several weeks at about II a.
m. each day q cards have been logo
typed and sent out-one to each coal
company headquarters, nearby post
Offices, the town hotels and three
statiOns-Jeffries' store on Broadway {;
Prtchard's store on Bowery, and our
own post-office. Each reading holds
good until s a. m. next day. Mr..
Benson cOntcmplates increasing the
publication of these forecasts by erect
ing pole 80 feet high on the Thomas
building, from which figured flags
will each day signal the probable
character of the weather for the period
named. Two firms have promised to
furnish the pole. The first complying
will win the distinction. Then Mr..
Benson will be able to carry out COM
pletely his plan. All of which, it
should be remembered, involves time
and work which bring him no COM
pensatiOn.

An Opinion and Some Observations

An Opinion and Some Observations.
A valued friend, residing at Norfolk,
Va, wrote the other day an interest
ing letter to former npighbor, who,
in turn, sent it to the JOURNAL. And
now the great paper takes the liberty
of extracting several paragraphs:
get the JOURNAL regularly and since
have been here have frequently sent copies of
the same to st. Petersburg, Russia. Genoa,
Italy, etc. The engineers of the tramp steam
ers are always after good papers, and always
give them the JOURNAL.
The editors twenty four years residence
in Frostburg surrounded by hosts Of political
opponents, has made him much broader
minded, liberal man than he would have
been had he remained in his native Valley.
There are some of the incest people here |
ever met-kind. courteous and the best of
neighbors. But the moment you mention
politics they become radical and unjust.
Nothing saved Massey but the fear that if he
did not get some kind of justification it would
hurt the party; yet, strange to say, there is
no such clamor for office among the voters as
in Allegany county. The people are perfect
ly willing that a small clique shall hold the
offices, provided they are democrats and Vir-
ginians by birth. The municipal affairs of
Norfolk are in better hands than for years be-.
fore. The commissioners and police are
doing good work. but there is no doubt they
will be turned out at the next election be-
cause they are prohibitionlsts, elected on a
reform ticket.

More About the Dead Man.

There is no doubt that the man
found dead on the Vale Farm Thurs
day of last week was the same who
shot Constable Jacob Llewellyn
through the calf of the leg on the Sat
urday before. 1t is probable also that,
fearing pursuit and arrest, he at once
took the poison, and had, therefore,
been dead about five days.
A. j. W. Schofeld, of Homecoming,
told the JOURNAL few days ago that
a man answering the description he
had read staid at his house Tuesday
night of last week and left about 3
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. He
told Mr.. Schofield that he was grad
uate of Oxford University, England !;
that he had come to this country about
the close of the war; taught school in
Indiana went to Missouri became a
scout, and that while on an expedition
with United ..ates troops the colonel
gave him the pipe which Mr.. Schofield
recognized among the dead mans
effects. From Missouri he went to
Texas, whence he last hailed. He
spoke of himself several times as
"Wadsworth." That he was fugitive
from some great crime can hardly be
doubted,

Among the things that ought to be
undone is the Act which loads on the
county the expenses of Cumberland

is the ease. In principle it is both I'M

Competition continues as fierce as ever, but

Large tonnages continue to go forward
Heavy shipments, both to shipping ports and
to all rail points, are reported Pocahontas is
shipping its full quota from Norfolk. Con-
tracts are being rapidly filled up, and in adj
dition there is considerable volume of new
business doing. Consumers who have been
holding off in expectation Of further decline
in the price of coal are now sending in their
orders on account of higher freight rates as
the season advances. The possible decline
in the price of the coal itself would in all
probability be more than offset by the in
creased vessel rate.
Transportation from mines to tide con-
tinues irregular. For day or two it was in
terrupted on the Pennsylvania railroad, but
this trouble is now over. The large amount
of coal going forward is mainly responsible
for these irregularities.
