The Free uoInare TolIl

From the Savannah News.
There Is no argument in favor OF silver
monometalism that can convince think
ing men that that kind Of currency
would be good thing for the country.
A degraded currency cannot possibly be
Z good thing for any country. That this
is true Is proven by the fact that every
country that Is really prosperous Is on a
sound money basis, snd some countries
that are not are trying to get on that
basis. From the close OF the civil war
until 1879, when specie payment was
resumed, this country struggled to
get on sound money basis,
and Russia at this very mo
ment Is making an effort to do
so. What folly, then, it would be for
this country, having a sound currency,
to abandon les commanding position to
take place alongside of Mexico. the
South American States and China There
Isn't silverlte that can show that the
adoption Of the 10 to / idea wouldn't
give US a degraded currency. Ia fact, no
one OF them attempts to do so All their
arguments are based on the idea that the
adoption OF unlimited silver coinage at
the ratio OF 10 70 / would reduce the
purchasing power OF the silver dollar
about one-half. Their arguments about
higher prices mean that prices would be
Increased by reducing the purchasing
power OF the currency.

The Prohi bitionists OF Delaware have
put state ticket in the field, but 1t is
not probable that It will cut much OF q
figure In the approaching election.
Apart from the weakness OF the ticket,
there are other issues before the people
this year which are likely to relegate to
the background the question of prohl-
billion. There Is every reason to believe
that the vote Of the party will be smaller,
II ANYTHING. than It was last year.

We wonder whether Mr. Bancroft is
not lying for the nomination agsin this

no worse; yet, AZ Democrat,

MINES AND MINING
The Annual Report of the Boston &
Montana Company.
NEWS FROM THE PROSPECTS
IL Is Reported That the 3. g. B. VIII
Resume Operations on March
IA Letter From Grip
pie Creek.

The annual report OF the Boston &
Montana Consolidated Copper & Silver
Mining company has been recently
published in Boston and makes a won
derful showing. A synopsis of the re-
port is as follows:
Gross receipts were 1899, 231. Ex-
penses at Butte and Great Falls were
s2,0S6,O61. Other expenses. $685.
Net, $2.357. 7O3.
Interest and sinking fund, 1926, 2s2;
net for the year. $2.121.311: dividends,
sEOoO.oOO; mining property bought.
sS7,76s; surplus, s1.O33.542.
Surplus. Dec. 81. 1894. 1892, Total
surplus, Dec. 81. 1895, 1885, 7s.
The supply of ore and concentrates
at the smelter is fully one-third larger
than year ago. The expenses of this
accumulation has been incurred and
charged OFF, but no account is taken Of
the asset.
The company now carries no con-
struction account, everything being
charged TO regular running expenses.
Ore reserves have been increased
during the year and considerable re-
duction has been made in the cost of
producing copper at Great Falls.
A comparison of the Boston & Mon
tana annual reports for 1894 and 1895 Is
as follows:

20 by 30 miles will be actively pros
pected. and a lately published report
by the United States geological survey
OF the formation OF this territory con-
nrms the opinion of miners who have
noted the resemblance in formation to
that In the immediate vicinity of Grip
pie Creek. Many things contribute to
make gold mining less speculative
than formerly. and not the least of
these is the increased knowledge Of the
prospector and more discrimination on
the part Of the investor. adding TO this
improvements for the economical
treatment Of ores. which render many
propositions profitable now that for
merly would have been abandoned. II
Is the experience In this section that
with a well-defined vein near the sur
face. pay ore may be expected within
depth Of 200 feet. and under ordinary
conditions this work can be done for
$500. Reckoned on this basis, Il Is
questionable II the chances OF success
in mining are inferior TO the hazards
of ordinary business ventures. and the
probable large gains make Il an at
tractive field OF operation.
This camp Is phenomenal not only
In the large and steadily increasing
output of gold. but especially In the
number of producing mines. Most
camps are limited to a few large mines.
while this one has many regular ship
pers, and their numbers are increas-
ing, and 1t does not seem likely now
that this will receive a check until the
territory IS thoughly prospected.
1T is estimated that there are now
1.5OO houses building here. and this
multiplication of houses has been going
on since last fall. and yet 1t is difficult
to provide quarters for the increasing
multitude. There are now two rail-
roads running into Cripple Creek, and
within the past few days an electric
road was chartered to run from Denver
here"

NO APPARENT DOUBT.
The Belief Is Firm Tnst Ludlow Is tn,
WouId-IS e Murderar

Wouid-Be Murderer.
There seems to be not the least doubt
in the world that Matt Ludlow, the Po-
lander with many aliases, whom the
standard unearthed in Butte recently.
is the miscreant who attempted TO
murder the entire Buckley family in
Basin by blowing them up with lyna-
mite last fall. Martin Buckley had srf
hcient confidence in the confession
made by Mrs. Ludlow to the Standard
that he had a warrant issued for the
arrest OF Ludlow and placed the mat
ter in the hands of the sheriff of Jeffer-
son county who Immediately instruct
ed the sheriff OF this county to arrest
Ludlow
The officers, however. did not find
the fellow. although he was I'm Butte
for two days after the publication of
the sensational story told by his wife.
and then he disappeared and no trace
OF him has been found since Mrs.
Ludlow says he packed up and left
town the day following the Issuance of
the warrant for his arrest and Gle has
also been unable to serve on him the
summons in her suit for divorce. II Is
probable that he has made good his
escape but Mr.. Buckley will have the
satisfaction of knowing who attempt-
ed to blow him into eternity and will
also save the 81 900 reward offered for
the arrest of the guilty. man. Ludlow.
IL seems, went under half a dozen dif-
ferent names. His right name Is Mike
Botwick but he was known also as
Ladusky. Ludlow and LowdIuw. He
worked at the Anaconda mine under
still another name, which the officers
have been unable to ascertain. Mrs.
Ludlow Will remain in Butte until she
obtains her divorce and will then re-
turn to Poland with her children.

The best and cheapest way to do
this is to ecure the great Chicago
