Promising Gold property.

T. S. Lettcrman, who, in COM
pany with G. w. Chrjstman, is op-
perating a gold quartz claim on the
Lo Lo, is in the city for Il day or SO
on business. The claim, which was
located in 1898, is known as the
Anna, the development Oh which con-
sists OF an incline Shaft to the depth
of 100 feet, from whence a DRIFT 80
feet in length has been run, follow
ing a ten-foot vein Of strictly free
milling gold ore averaging eight
dollars per ton. Assays running as
high as $40 gold per ton have been
obtained, but the stratum this is OBJ
tanned from is small. The rock is
improving as work progresses and
Mr. Lettcrman is sanguine Of strik-
ing big pay ore before many more
feet have been made.
The claim is seven miles above Lo
Lo station, with a good wagon road
to the property. There are other
good claims in the immediate vicini-
ty, but like other mining districts
contiguous to Misso1lla, capital is
lacking for proper development.
Once this most desirable factor is OBJ
tained, there is no reason why Mis-
soula should not have genuine
mining boom with all her rich sur
rounding districts yet undeveloped.
Sooner or later it is bound to come
and Missoulians should be alive tc
this fact, as upon the success of the
mines to large extent depend the
prosperity ,of our business people

HIGH CLASS SHOOTING.
Wonderful Record Made at the Dupont
Championship Tournament.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Whcn a team Of
five men scores is out Of so birds and
does not get a place, the shooting
must be Of high class. Such was the
case today in the Dupont worlds
championship tournament, in pro-
gress at Burnside. One OF them was
an Illinois team, captained by A. G.
Anson, the noted ball player. The
entire day was devoted to the team
race and both sets Of traps were kept
running from 8 a. m. until o'clock.
Twenty eight teams competed for the
state championship and a veritable
battle of the giants ensued. The
Iowa team, known as the "Indians," :"
consisting of Guilbert, the worlds
champion, King, Trotter, Budd and
Grim, ties for first place with the
Illinois team. No. l. consisting of
Marshall, Bacon, the!state champion,
Bingham. Crosby and Powers. Each
team dropped one bird. Three teams
from Ohio, Pennsylvania and I'LL
nois, tied for second place. The Ne
braska team No. l took third with
Al, and several teams divided fourth,
with 46. Old timers say it was the
greatest shooting ever seen at 4
tournament.
The weather was intensely hot,
but during the afternoon a stiff
breeze sprang up and as the birds
were a selected lot the shooting be-
came very difficult. The Attendance
was enormous. Hundreds of ladies
were among the throng. The con-
ditions imposed we're that five men
on each team should belong to one
state and belong to one regularly Or
ganized club. They shot'at 10 birds
each, $50 entrance fee for each team,
10 birds per man, with $50 added for
each team entered by the Dupont
company.

The Silver State is opposed to the
nomination uf Charles 5. Hartman
for congressman on the democratic
ticket. The worth OF Mr. Hartman
as >iIvcrS champion is acknowledged
and held in high esteem by this
paper, but he did no more than any
other representative OF the people
whom he represented should have
done. The democratic party is the
silver party and within its ranks are
hundreds Of men who will do their
duty and expect no reward from any
other party. Let Mr.. Hartman be

While extending congratulations
and thanks, l cannot refrain from
remembering the support given to
the head of our ticket by our silver

another election confronts us, all
the forces who have been fighting
shoulder to shoulder for the sue
