Speed is the great f)rta of the y Ncw
York, ana there is hardly warship OF
her size in the world that can compare
with her in that respect. 1t has been
claimed that the English protected cruis-
ers the Blake and Benhem, both of
which will probably be at kiel. have sur
passed the speed record OF the New York.
In March of 1891 the Blake was tried over
q measured &C urse but under the forced
draught used her boilers leaked so badly
that the trial had to BE- abandoned. I'M
der natural draught the Blake averaged
1872 knots for four consecutive hours
In the official records OF the English ma
Wy. both of these vessels are classed as
22-knot cruisers. 1t has been asserted
that m easured by patent log the Blen-
helm has made 22.5 knots. but logs are
not credited with measuring accurately.
The 2l-knot record of the New York was
not made by patent log or other unrelia-
BILE paraphernaia, but by buoys and YES
sells located by triangular points ashore.
Measured by the patent log used in the
Blenheim's trial the New York has made
% knots but that speed was never claim ed
as q record for the American ship.
The Blake and Blenheim are both pro-
tected cruisers. whereas the New York is
an armored cruiser. having fve-inoh
belt OF side armor, two heavy ten!n ch
barbettes and turrets five and a half
inches thick. In all the navies OF the
world the only ships that have any Off
cal records showing a speed exceeding
that OF the New York are the Neinte-
Cinco de Mayo and the Neuve de Julio
OF the Argentine Republic, and the Pied
monte of the Italian navy. The It1 ian
is credited with having made 22.3 knots
in 1899, and the Argnetine vessels with
| -. 43 and 22.75 knots respectively. AS
all three OF these vessels are only partially
| protected cruisers of less than half the New
Gork's displacement. they are not of the

Il REVENUE MINE
1T is GOLF
GALORE.
Turner Tells About his
Struggles to Make the Process a
81 900 Per Day.

II. B. Turner. the we'll known min
ing operator. was in town Tuesday or
business connected with that banner
gold prOducer-the Revenue. Mr..
Turner. who is better known among
the mining men of the state as "Cya-
hide" Turner, probably understands
the process from which he has been
sobriquetted better than any other man
in Montana. The cyanide is Mr.. Tur-
ner's pet hobby-he has made a study
of it for years. He fought for it when
other mining men pooh-poohed at the
cyanide theory, but he has lived to see
the success Of the process and he is not
very old either and in the meantime
cyanide has made him a rich man.
A Madison county mine was selected
by MI. Turner to make his experiment
in cyanide and as a result the Revenue
mine at Richmond Flat is probably one
of the most prolific producers of gold
in the state. Mr.. Turner stated to a
MADIsONIAN reporter that the new
mill was treating between so and 60
tons of ore per day, which was netting
over $50 per ton, and that the COM
pany cleanup for February would ex-
C eed 1928, 900. The mill is saving from
81 to 81 per cent. of the fire assay at a
milling cost of about $2.75 per ton. The
method of working the ore is to crush
the rock dry, using a Dodge crusher
and two sets of Cornish rolls, the
whole being dried by a revolving drier.
The mill is now treating ore by cya-
hide at about 20 mesh.
L. "A. Durham is the general super
%intendent of the company and he is en-
ploying, at the mine and mill, about 80
men. Mr.. Turner states that there is
enough ore in sight to keep the mill
busy for the next year.
MI. Turner is very we'll satisfied
with the progress the cyanide process
has been making recently. AS to its
successful treatment of ore he calls at
tentiOn to the Murcer mine in Utah.

METzEL CONFIDENT
THAT THERE WILL BE NO
DIVISION.
He is of the OpiuiOn That the Bill will
Not Pass the HOuse-EncouraSed by
the Interest of Constituents.

Just o prospective legislation most
interesting to citizens of Madison
county is the Anderson measure.
introduced in the house early in
the session to annex a portion Of
Madison county to GallatiR. On this
subject the following letter from Sena-
tor Metzel is especially interesting and
encouraging to the citizens of Madison
county: Helena. Feb. 13.-Editor
MADISONIAN: | noticed in your paper
of the ninth inst. an article on Alder
sons bill to segregate a portion of our
county and attach it to G~allatin county.
| am glad to see tina the citizens of the
home county are awake and thorough
ly aroused on the subject. Rest as
sured her representatives in the fourth
Legislative assembly thoroughly APP
preciate the gravity of the situation
and stand ready to do their part to see
that this measure receives the consid-
Grafton it deserves: indefinite post
ponement. [ am pleased to see that
petitions are being circulated and gem
orally signed for it will strengthen
our hands here to know that the peo-
pie of our county are opposed to the
measure.
| am glad to see that in the article
that | have referred to, you resent the
imputation of the Anaconda Standard
that Representative Isdell is at best
neutral, if not actually in favor of the
proposed division. | know that Major
Isdell is against the division. and will
do all in his power to see that the bill
receives its death blow in the house.
He is thoroughly alive, and it is al
most needless to add loyal. to the in
terests of his own county. The same
may be said of his colleague. Mr.. Ros-
sitor. If the bill ever passes the house.
and not for a minute do | believe il
will, it will be only after they have
exhausted every mean OF opposition.
and will not be their fault.
Allowing that it may pass, | am or
my guard, and ready and eager to de
feat the measure here in the senate.
and believe I can do SC.
This is a bad place for any county
division schemes and especially fol
those that have as little merit in then
as this one.
In conclusion let me say that | an
thoroughly convinced that u count,
is we'll taken care of by her represen
SatlveS n for once We are all encOur

a NICE QUESTION.


The New York Sun thinks that tho
dime has come for the United States to
recognize the belligerency Of Cuba. ana
holds that there is just as much reason
for such action on the part OF this Gov
ernment as there was for France TO
recognize the United States IN ,ts
Dtruggles for independence.
There is no doubt that the Cubsn
insurgents are looking to such an event
as is suggested by the Sun, and that
their lea ders are prolonging the war as
long as possible with the hope OF
occurring the recognition of the Cuban
Republic as belligerent by other
nations. but just how long they should
hold out against Spain before being
entitled to such recognition is q nice
question.
Public sentiment in this country is
decidedly in favor of the independence
Of Cuba, bnt it is difficult to say whether
the time Las come when belligerencv
should be accorded them. Certain it

circumstances which lead, up to such
action, aud much depends in the pres
cnt case upon the character which the

future.
1t is true that til re relations OF the
United States with Cubn nre different

and il there were no other REASONS,
our commercial relations arc such as
to render II speedy, settlement of the
troubles between the islands and the

consideration may huslen recognition,

Along with their other troubles, the
farmers OF tho Northwest are con-
planning that they cannot get the farm
help they actually need, although good
wages are bang offered. The Raleigh
News nnG Observer, in commenting on
the situation. very pertinently in
Qnires, "What has become of the vast
army of unemployed?"
1t is true that things have picked up
wonderfully III the past hulf Year. New
factories have beeu started, others
have resumed operations. and these are
muny thousands of wage workers earn.
Ing living now who year ago were
idle, but there ought uot to be such IL

from the Northwest appear. In

willing hands to do.
