FREMONT colnty is now creating some
thing OF a mining excitement, as some
fine specimens OF ore have been found
there similar to that mined in Cripple
Creek. 1t is in the Bare Hills country
southwest Of Cripple Greek where this
new discovery has been made but as
little work has been done in the way Of
Development it is impossible to deter
mine just what it will amount to.

TRADE REVIEW.
BrAdstreel's Report.

New York. Feb. zl.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: While no radical i'm
provement has appeared in the general
trade situation. more favorable influences
are reported than for some weeks. The
drop In the temperature has affected the
movement of dry goods. hats and grocer
les. The record OF declining quotations be-
gun last week Is continued for some varf-
cites of cottons and the tendency Of quo
tations OF wool Is to decline. and prices
OF wheat. hour. corn. oats, pork, lard and
petroleum are lower. The conspicuous ad-
vances are In coffee and sugar. Hardly
less than the Improvement in bank clear

Webster for Treasurer.

Yellowstone Journal: Charles NJ
Webster. mayor of Great Falls, is be-
ing very generally mentioned in the
state press as a desirable candidate
on the republican ticket for the very
responsible office of state treasurer.
The Journal is glad to see the drift OF
public opinion setting in the direction
of such men as Mr.. Webster. His rec
ord is absolutely clean and If chosen
he would bring to the administration
OF the office unquestioned ability as a
man of affairs, tested by many years
service as secretary of the Great Falls
Townsite company and later as the
president and manager of the Security
bank of Great Falls, which he carried
safely through the panic of 1893, and
which, on account of a surplus of
banking capital in Great Falls after
the crash, he merged into one of the
larger banks. The people of Great
Falls have twice honored him with the
mayorality of the city and in other
ways shown their high appreciation of
him. The republican convention will
make no mistake If IT puts Mr.. Web
Ster on the ticket.

Dun's Report.

New York. Feb 2.-Dun a Co.'S Week.
ly Review OF Trade will say: The resto-
ration OF the treasury reserve has teen
effected with remarkably little monetary
disturbance. though stringency in many
markets Is greater elsewhere than here.
The rapid rise In the price of bonds
strengthens public confidence. In no i'm
portant branch of business is the appar-
ent disposition to expand. The distribu-
ton to consumers has been slow and re-
auctions in prices have not brought q re-
newal OF such buying. Prices of commod-
tiles as a whole are now at the lowest av-
erage ever known. Receipts OF wheat
continue heavy. 2.l15.55s bushels for the
week against 1,542.5 i7 last year. Wheat 10
In almost all manufacturing products
declines continue. though In some classes
quotations are so irregular that the
change cannot be accurately measured.
Bessemer. pig iron and grey forge are q
shade lower at Pittsburg and structural
beams and angles have been reduced TO
secure business. but new orders for prod
ucts are comparatively small. and some
furnaces I'm that region have been banked.
The cast pipe business is active here but
little is doing I'm rails. Prices are steady
at Philadelphia Plates are doing a little
better but other branches are dull.
Sales OF wool for the week were 90 per
cent. smaller than last year. though for
the month only 10 per cent. but 70 per
cent. smaller than I'm 1898. Prices do not
decline. as the foreign market remains
strong. Failures for the week, $50
against 500 last year.

a Life Insurance War.

Glendive Independent: Life insurance
agents flooded Glendive this week, no less
than four companies being represented.
Several policy holders. who took out in
surance some time ago. claimed that the
agent misrepresented affairs 10 them. and
a rival company's representative arrived
upon the scene and worked the said poll
cy holders up to fighting pitch. hence the
wires were worked and another rival
from the company which had written the
policies took place. After mutual ex-
changes of ideas on the subject the old
policies or new ones TO suit the holders
were written and now peace Is restored.

Choteau Montanian: The kodak craze
has struck Choteau at last. Alfred Har-
ris got one this week, but has disposed
of all interest in it to Harry Marks,
who is trying to secure a contract for
taking photos of Sheriff Zimmerman's
boarders for the use of officials. The
cause that led up to the transfer of the
kodak was that upon the receipt of the
box containing the mysterious instru-
ment and accessories, Mr.. Harris open
ed the plates with the remark, there's
some films in here" and spoiled the
whole batch by exposing them to light
Professor Marks has sent for more
plates and a tripod and will then be
prepared to take snapshot views of
Choteau at all times, day or night His

their mine near Rochester, and which
yielded s1S5 per ton for the hrst-class
ore and SIS per ton for the second-class.
They have put on q half dozen more
miners. and the property will now be
worked more extensively.
The copper proposition known as the
Blow Outs is being worked by a Butte
company, under the management of Mr.
Getchell. The company has reached a
depth of 200 feet on the property, and
is now prosecuting. The water from
this mine is hoisted with a within, pend
ing the arrival of a hoist and pumping
machinery. which has been ordered for
the mine.
The Buffalo mine, owned by Il. Muel-
Ter. which has been shut down during
the winter, will shortly be started up
again. 1t is one of the best developed
mines In the camp, and has several
hundred tons of ore on the dump.
Eighty tons of ore have recently been
shipped from the old company mines at
Rochester-which has been rechristened
the "Thistle"-and there are now 20
tons more on the dump ready for trans
portation. The ore from this mine
yields almost uniformly SIS and up
wards per ton.
Speaking of the Thistle, It is seen by
Tuesdays Standard that the inform
ant of Its Butte reporter locates the
of at Rochester. The mistake was in
nocently made. as the owners have
some mines at Silver Star. but this,
their greatest producer. is not one of
them.
Week before last, d. Dulmaine & Co.,
who have a lease and bond on the Mar
shall group of mines. Nez Perces gulch,
shipped carload of the ore to Butte
for reduction. 1t went 40 per cent. cop
per. per cent. better than the last
previous carload. They have a beauti-
ful specimen of copper ore, weighing
over half ton, at the mine. and intend
sending it to Butte with the next ship
ment. and have 1t placed on exhibition
there.
William Owsley is hauling the boilers
and pumping hoist to be used in re-
opening the old Libby mine on the Big
Hole river, and is also getting mining
timbers on the ground, ready to begin
work.
Messrs. c. P. Newell and Fred Tay-
lor, while returning from the Macca-
bees initiation jubilee at Sheridan the
other evening ran over a bridge on Wis
consin creek and smashed their buggy
Into kindling wood. Fortunately, no
one was injured by the accident.
;. j. Walker, superintendent of the
Butte company which is operating in
Goodrich canyon, had his hand badly
lacerated the other day by the explosion
of a giant powder cap. He will take a
rest of week or two in consequence.
Recent mild weather has removed
most of the snow from the foothills, and
they are thronged with prospectors.
Besides those noted above, other finds
are occasionally reported, but none are
far enough developed to make their
value worth a Yankee guess.
William Pritchett, in from Bear gulch
Tuesday, tells of a big strike of gold
ore in Pritchett & Stones A. p. A
mine, but as IL is snow-shoe travelling
out there yet, none of it will be shipped
for a couple of months to come. He
returned to the mine to-day.
