MINING NOTES.

j. T. Pardee and others who are
interested in the Rock Creek placers
are making preparations for starting
the seasons work.
From Boulder the information is
that there will be Huntington mill
put up on the Rhoades property as
soon as it can be hauled in.
The Combination company will
soon begin the work of connecting the
Lewis shaft with the present workings
by means OF raise through $50 feet Of
ground. ., ...-, ...-. .,,-- ......, .,.-,
"A lot of new machinery, including
two big boilers, arrived during the
week for the Bi-Metallic company to be
put in use on their developments near
the mill
The Royal Gold company is just
completing 250-foot raise between
levels Nos. 1 and 2, which will insure
steady run of the en-stamp mill for
twelve months or more.
There is good deal of mining 60
ing on near Philipsburg despite the
closing of the st. Louis mines there,
and it is now one of the liveliest cities
in the state. Inter Mountain.
-Rombauer & Peterson have discon-
tinued work on the Boulder Belle for
the time being, not having struck
shipping ore at the present price of
silver. The lode looks well, however.
90. D. Mcclure, Frank D. Brown
and about a dozen men went out to the
Moose Lake district Monday morning
to begin operations on Mr. McLure's
property in that district. Operations
on the mine will begin at once and the
necessary building accommodations
will be constructed.
Articles of incorporation of the
Montana Consolidated Mining and
Milling company were filed last Mon
day in the secretary of state 's,office in
Helena by John H. Ortman and others.
The company has capital stock of
$50, 900 and will operate mines in the
Red Lion district, Granite county.
Israel Glenn and Eugene Sifton
have developed very fine old-mining
claim about one-half mile west of the
Royal Coda lode of feet in width

JACK .HARTWELL BACK.
He Once More Sets Foot On American
SOil-NOw in Iowa.

A letter received this week from J.
D. Hartwen announces his arrival in
America. He says he had to quit Brit
ish Guiana and will now remain in
this country for time at least He
also informs MS that Howard Went
worth and brother are back in Maine.
Jack is now in Iowa, visiting
some relatives. and will soon start for
the West again, going to Cripple
Creek. We expect and hope he may
eventually return to Philipsburg. The
South American climate evidently did
not agree with Jacks health. He was
attached with rhuematism, and when
able to travel started for this country
on a sailing vessel which was out forty
five days and they ran out of provisions
and water. This condition did not
increase Jacks avourduIo,s and when
he reached American soil he was
greatly reduced in flesh.

MOOSE LAKE COUNTRY
Charles D. Mcclure and Associates to
Begin Work Out There.
MINING IN GRANITE COUNTY
A Mill Likely to Be Built on the Hid
den Treasure-A Few Notes Re-
garding the Golden Sceptre
Mining Properties - Etc.

Frank Jamison, NJ ". Bullard,
Louis Nuzum, Van Leavins and a num-
ber of other Philipsburg men left Mon
day morning for Moose lake, in the
Upper Rock Creek district, about
twenty five miles south of Philipsburg.
They are in the employ of Charles D.
Mcclure, who has recently bonded the
Cadet properties there for $3.50, 900.
Frank D. Brown has general charge of
the operations OH this property, as well
as number of others controlled by
Mr.. Mcclure, and will push develop
ment work az rapidly as possible. Sew
eral large sleigh loads Of provisions,
tools, etc., were taken along, and the
first work to be done will be the erec-
tion of boarding and lodging accom-
modations. The men will be COM
PEELED to use tent until these can be
built, which is not SO very pleasant
this time Of the year so high up in
the mountains. A cOmmodious black
smith shop will be built as soon as
the more necessary buildings are
erected. Development work will be
commenced as soon as possible and car
ried on upon an extensive scale. From
all reports it is evident that Mr. Nc
Lure and his associates have good
thing in their recent acquisition. AL
though there has been very little work
done it is stated that they have very
extensive body of ore in sight which
goes we'll up in gold, and if systematic
development and the judicious expend-
iture Of capital can prove up paying
mine there the Moose Lake properties
will soon be mum bered among the many
famous producers which Granite
county can boast Of during the coming
year. Operations upon this property
will do great deal toward the opening
up of country in which little pros
pecting has been done and regarding
the mineral resources of which little or
nothing is known. Of course. for some
time past it has been known that gold
existed there and number of locations
have been made, but up to the present
time no very extensive or systematic
development work has been done. 1t
is therefore hoped that the present en-
terprise will prove success and that
another gold section will be opened up
truibutary to Philipsburg.

was most delightful affair, which
was attended by about fifty of her
young friends, and Morse's hall never
contained more joyful gathering for
any occasion than was witnessed there
last Thursday night. The music was
furnished by Prof. G. H. Westphal and
Miss Katie DOoley, and the little folks
did all the dancing, as no grown person
was allowed on the floor Shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock refreshments were served
by the young hostess, assisted by Misses
Mamie and Tessie Orr and Mr.. and
Mrs. G. H. Westphal, and the little
folks had just danced enough to have a
little more than their usual appetites
with them. 1t is needless to say that
they did ample justice to the many
good things set before them. The par
ty broke up about II O'Clock and all
went home well pleased with the even
ing's entertainment. The young ladies
and gentlemen in attendance are here

SILVER AND PROTECTION
The Manufacturers of Philadelphia
Urge Bi -Metallism.
THEY WANT SILVER RECOGNIZED
Republican Manufacturers of Pennsyl.
vania Come Out AS Free Coinage
Advocates-They See the Ad
vantage of Bi-Metallism.

A large number Of manufacturers in
Philadelphia, headed by James Dobson,
have embraced silver and protection
ideas, and have notified the Republican
leaders that unless silver is recognized
in some way at st. Louis they will
never support the Republican ticket
nor contribute anything to the cam
paign fund. Mr.. Dobson was presi-
dent of the Manufacturers Club of
Philadelphia for years, and is said to
have contributed and secured contribu-
tions of hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars to Republican campaign funds i'll
the past Heber Clark, editor of sew
eral papers devoted to manufacturing
interests and secretary Of the Manufac-
turers' Club, has been preaching free
silver in his papers for some time. 1t
is said that majority of the manufac-
turers of Philadelphia have decided
that free silver, owing to the encroach-
lnents of Oriental countries, is the best
for them, so much the best in fact that
they will support new party If the
old parties do not give some considera-
tion to the white metal. A delegation
of fifty OF sixty Philadelphia manufac-
turers, headed by Mr. Dobson, is
booked to go to Washington early next
week for a conference with Senator
Teller and the silver leaders on the sill
yer and protection theory. They will
promise Mr.. Teller their support, it is
understood. Report has it that Senator
Quay is somewhat alarmed over the
growing silver sentiment in his state
He is fully posted, it is said, as TO
what is going on among manufacturers
who have always been Republicans,
but he sees no way to stop it. The
Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia
represents $500, 600, 900 in different in
dustries in that city and throughout
the country.
A. S. Dulin, young Westerner, who
has always been q close friend Of Sen
ator Teller, has been selected by the
new Silver party to take charge of the
silver forces in Pennsylvania. He will
begin the work of organization at
once, and will establish headquarters
in Philadelphia. 1t is stated on the
best of authority that the manufac-
turers have fully supplied him with
funds to conduct the campaign, and
will put up all that he needs in that
line.

NEVADA AND FREE SILVER.
Resolutions of Confidence Passed by the
Comstock Miners Union.

The Miners Union of Virginia, Ne

dorslng the action of Nevada s repre-
sentatives in the United States Senate
and in the House Of Representatives by
which it was resolved "that the Vir-
ginia City Miners Union appreciating
the eminent services rendered to our
national legislation by Hon. John p.
Jones, Hon. William NJ Stewart and
Hon. Francis G.. Newlands, in their
untlring advocacy of the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at a ratio of
10 to l. By the enactment of such a
law by Congress, the silver miners of
Nevada would be materially benefited
by obtaining market for their home
production, silver bullion; and the
financial status Of the nation placed
upon a just and equitable basis, by
which means the whole people of the
United States could be made more
prosperous and happy, take this oppor-
tunity to offer to each Representative
Of Nevada in our National Congress a
vote OF confidence, and to extend to
each one individually the sincere
thanks Of this Union. -
The Virginia City Miners Union is
the Oldest organization of the kind now

organization since the discovery of the
Comstock lode some thirty-five years
ago. When the union was formed
Abraham Lincoln was President of the
United States, and during his time

the West were regarded by their CO.
laborers throughout the country as the
most valuable contributors to the gen.
eral prosperity Of the United States by
gold and silver for standard
money to maintain the credit and ad-

Electoral Reform.

The fact that the change of about
25,000 votes in the late election, if
the votes had been placed in the
close States, would have reversed
the result while still leaving Nc
Kinley with a million plurality, has
revived the discussion with regard
to change of the plan of electing
Presidents.
The Philadelphia Ledger urges the
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of
Presidents by popular vote. OF
course, the chief affirmative argu-
ment is that it brings the choice of
President directly within the power
of the people and makes it impossi-
BILE for candidate to be elected who
is not the choice of a majority or
even a plurality of the people. The
Ledger declares that it is wrong to
have the casting of the whole num-
ber of the electoral votes of a State
and the possible determination of
the result of the election. dependent
upon difference of a few thousand
votes.
But this plan, while there are
forcible considerations in it's favor,
completely destroys the entity of the
States in the choice of the President.
One of the fundamental points in
our form of government is thus re-
moved and the President is not the
choice Of the people of the different
States, but of the whole mass with
out regard to the States.
A better plan would be the cleo
tion of the two electors at large by
the whole State and of district elec-
tors by the voters of the districts.
In this way the electoral college
would be organinized on the basis
of Congress without the division in
to two houses, and the States would
retain their separate entities and
would cast their votes according to
the will of the people of each Con-
gressional district. The plan is con-
stitutional, but brings the election
close to the people by making the
Congressional districts instead of the
States the units of popular repre-
sentation in the Electoral College
1t gives the minority party in each
State a chance to secure representa-
tion in the college. Michigan tried
this plan and there is no obstacle to
its general trial.
The Congressional district plan
would give real meaning to the
nomination of district electors
With the retention of the two elec-
tors at large for each State it is in
accord with the fundamental con-
stitution of our government and re-
tains the representation OF the
States in the college. It has the
chief advantages without the radi-
cal changes of the plan of popular
election. 1t would do away with
the danger of pivotal close States

BObbie's COmposition on Parents.


Parents are things which boys
have to look after them. Most girls
also have parents. Parents consist
of Pas and Mas. Pas talk good
deal about what they are going to
do, but mostly it's Mas that make
you mind.
Sometimes it is different, tho.
Once there was boy came home
from college on vacation. His par
ents lived on a farm. There was
work to be done on the farm. Work
on farm always has to be done
early in the morning. This boy
didn't get up. His sister goes on
the stairway and calls; "Willie,
It's beautiful morning. Rise and
list to the lark The boy didn't say
anything. Then his ma calls:
William, it is time to get up, your
breakfast is growing cold" The
boy kept right on not saying any
thing. Then his pa puts his head in
the stairway, and says he, "Bill"
Coming, sir!" says the boy.
l know boy that hasn't got any
parents. He goes in swimming
whenever he pleases. ButI am going
to stick to my parents.
However, / don't tell them so,
cause they might get it into their
heads that 1 couldn't getalong with
out them.
Says this boy to me, "Parents are
nuisance; they aren't what they're
cracked up to be-" Says I to him,
Just the same, 1 find 'em handy to
have. Parents have their failings,
of course, like all of us, but on the
whole I approve of 'em. .'-Selected
