MINES AND MINING

There will be big increase in the
production of gold and other minerals
in Montana the present year as COM
pared with 1885, More miners are en-
ployed, and there are more producing
properties in the state than ever before.
The total mineral output of the state for
last year was 490S2. POI. which was $9.-
616,342 greater than the total produce
tion of 1894 There was produced in the
state last year $4,327 ,040 worth of gold.
S22, 1872 worth of silver. $21, ia. 1863
worth of copper and s754.359 worth Of
lead There was a gain in the produc-
ton of every metal over 1894. as follows:
Gold s45S,611; silver, $5,252,772; copper,
$3,SS1, $50; lead, $23, s07. There will be a
decided increase this year in the gold
produce. Mr.. Eugene Braden, the gov
ernment assayer, says there is an in
crease in the number of mills working,
and many more gold properties are be-
ing worked than last year. There Is
also every reason to believe that this
will be an unusually good season for
the placer miners. Reports from all Sec
tions are that the snowfall in the noun
tains has been exceptionally heavy this
spring, and that will undoubtedly in
tiuence the production of placer gold.
In a dry season placer ground in many
sections cannot be worked, and the bet
ter the water supply the more gold can
be taken out.

THE WARRANT QUESTION.

To the Daily Light:
Ignorance on the part of a great
daily newspaper such as our morning
Express is ineXcusable, especially
when discussing local matters. The
Express in discussing the proposition
to issue warrants to the creditors of
the city cites the experience of our
city prior to 1870, on the issue of war
rants. The truth is the city never is
sued warrants upon the treasurer but
city scrip, which has been duplicated
by the present city administration in
the shape of service certificates. This
scrip became circulating medium at q
discount and was called in in 1868.
The city charter provides that war
rants drawn upon the city treasurer
for payment of money shall be for
immediate payment, and will not be
received for taxes or other dues due
to the city, and are not to be con-
sidered circulating medium, and the
mayor is forbidden to draw warrants
upon the treasurer only under specific
appropriations, and not beyond the
amount appropriated by the city coun-
Gil for all purposes under the city gov
eminent"
The old city scrip passed as circu-
lating medium, were receivable for
taxes and other dues, were issued re-
CARELESS of specific appropriations, and
soon became a drug in the market but
when called in and ordered paid in
the order of filing went to par.
Under the provision of the city char
ter quoted it is the duty of the mayor
to draw warrants upon the city treas
urer to pay off the debts of the city
to the extent of the specific appropria-
lions. These warrants must be drawn
for immediate payment, properly, as
it would not do to give the mayor
power to draw such warrants paya-
BILE at any future time.
1t is unfortunate that the city has
not the money in the treasury to pay
its current expenses, but if any form
of warrant or paper that can be dis
counted is to be issued the warrant
is the only one authorized.
If these warrants are issued as pro-
posed, in serials, they will be on par
with state warrants similarly issued,
and not being a circulating medium
or receivable for taxes, the issue can
not be subject to the discount and de-
probation incident to the old scrip
issue.
At present the system of paying en-
ployes and laborers on pay rolls is vi
ciOus and subject to much fraud. If
the merchants bill for a few dollars
must be paid on warrant, most GER
tainly the employees bill should be paid
in like manner, in fact the charter
requires all bills to be paid on war
rant and the subterfuge Of pay rolls
is illegal, while the issue of service
certificates" is unwarranted, and
great hardship to the employees Of the
city.
The issue Of warrants against spe-
cific appropriations is legal, and will
be relief to the men who are COM
PEELED to pledge their deferred pay
ments to raise money to live upon.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saying.

w nat the feOple Are Saying.
Having disclosed the deporable con
dition of our bonded indebtedness
due to the carelessness, mismanage.
ment and wilful neglect of past city
administrations the question arises
what are we going to do about it?
Here comes in one Of the planks of
my platform, to-wit No more issue
of bonds, at least for the next two
years.
How we are going to restore the
wasted sinking fund is also a ques-
ton. Under the charter the city treas
urer appears to be responsible for the
sinking fund.
We will be reminded by some city
hall financier that the back taxes is
where the fault lies-an examination
into this back tax business will prove
that it is poor excuse, and cannot be
made available to make good any de-
ficiency.
Stop issuing bonds and provide for
sufficient sinking funds to make good
the loss caused by failure to levy suf-
ficient tax, as was the case under Cal
laghan; and the failure to keep books
under Elmendorf.
The next city administration will
not repose on a bed of roses, but
will be confronted with stern reali-
ties-we must cut down expenses to
bring them within possible revenue we
must provide for our bonded debt, in
order that there shall be no such thing
as bankruptcy.
Among the few changes actually
necessary in our city charter, is to
make the bond provision conform to
the state law, and require city bonds
to be payable at the state treasury
and interest and sinking fund to be
paid into the state treasurer as is the
case of county bonds. This would
take the temptation away from the
city government to divert these funds
from their legitimate purpose.
In my next l shall get at our tax
question-back taxes, etc. The prob
lem how to conduct city govern
ment, may seem to be a difficult one
when we fail to collect taxes but ]
shall show that we have collected the
taxes and our troubles are due tc
waste and extravaganza, poor manage
ment, political schemes and election
corruption, and not to the direlictior
Of the taxpayers as every city states
man would have us believe. Tht
