IN THE LAND OFFICE.
Two Homestead Entry Contests Filed
Coal Cuts N Figure.

Missoula, Jan. TN the United
States land Office two contests have
been filed against homestead entries, as
follows: j. ID. Lee VS.. Emily Blanch-
ard and Moses Loree VS.. Albert S.
Mayne. Both of these contests involve
land in the vicinity of Nine Mile and
the grounds alleged i'm each are fraud
ulent entry and noncompliance with
the law after entry. 1t is stated on
the outside, however. that the purpose
of the contestants is to secure the land
on account of the coal discoveries
which have been made recently in that
section o fthe country.
section of the country.
rumors in circulation regarding the
discovery Of high grade coal in the
Nine Mile region and these rumors
have now been confirmed by authorita-
tive reports from there. The coal is
said to be of superior quality and the
deposits very extensive. Some devel-
opment and exploration work has been
done in several places and the result
in each instance has been satisfactory.
Not much has been said about the dis
covery and there has been numerous
inquiries regarding the condition of the
land in that region. There is evident
ly an attempt on the part of those on
the inside to secure control or pos
session of the coal land before much
Is said about II.
The contests of the mineral land
commissions reports, which were set
for hearing this month, have been con-
tinued until Feb. 20, the Northern Pa
cific attorney and the government
agent concurring in the request for
continuance.
The big contest which is expected to
be filed by the residents of the lower
Missoula river country must be pre-
pared and filed before Jan. u, under
the law or II will not be considered.
The maps which the contestants have
had in preparation are completed and
measurements and examinations of the
land are now in progress. The heavy
snowfall has somewhat interfered with
this work, but Ii Is expected that it
will be completed before the date
named above. This contest is against
that portion of the report which classes
as agricultural large tracts of land in
the lower valley. which the contestants
will endeavor to show should have
been classed as mineral land.

NO GUT IN WAGES
That Denver Report Claimed to Be a
Canard.
WHAT MARCUS DAILY SAYS OF 1T
He Assures the Employees of the Ana
conda Company That No Cut in
Wages Is Anticipated.

Marcus DAILY. general manager of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company,
arrived in Butte on yesterday after
moons train from Anaconda and re-
mained in town over night in spite OF
the disagreeable smoke, says Mondays
Standard. He was seen by Standard
reporter last evening and questioned IN
regard to the associated press dispatch
sent out from Denver saturday to the
effect that the Anaconda company has
given notice of reduction of miners
wages on Dec. next from 49, 80 to W
per day.
1T is not true said Mr.. Daily.
Wages are not to be reduced on Dec. |,
and so far as l know there is no i'm
mediate danger of reduction. l real.
ize that possibilities might at some
| time arise which would lead the min
| ing companies of thi, section to reduce
wages. l had ap. .reheaded that silver
would, IN all N ,UablAlty. take a serious
fall after electl,.l, out the result OF the
election ha, thu, far had no material
effect on tho price of silver. Copper
also remains strong, and believe can
safely assure the people of this COM
munity that with copper and silver
at their present prices there need be no
| fear of IL reduction i'll wages.
II have often stated that the wages
of the miners employed by the Ana
cOnda company would not be reduced
so long as 1 should be manager of the
company. In the face of this state
ment of mine, which l have never
Withdrawn and shall not withdraw
now, it does not seem to me that l
should have been called Oh to make
| ,,1 ,f a
company and have not changed my
views Oh the subject of miners wages.
l believe my personal views on this
subject are we'll known. Nothing is
better for any community than TO have
it's workinglnen well paid. Good
wages constitute very material ele-
ment in city's prosperity. 1t will be
unfortunate, indeed, if at some future
time falling prices for the metals we
produce shall necessitate a reduction of
wages by mining companies operating
here. We will all hope that such ac-
tion will never become necessary and
can see no danger ut this time of such
"a calamity.
1.-The Anaconda company has the
best organization that is to be found
anywhere west OF the Missouri river.
No company on earth has on the
whole more loyal, faithful and
efficient body of employees. The ser.
vices of these men during the past
years are sincerely appreciated by Inc
and are appreciated as well by the com
pany. If this false report has occas-
ioned disquietude or uneasiness among
them 1 am very glad indeed for their
sakes to make this denial, and l con-
slider it but just to them to assure them
that I have received no knowledge of a
porposed reduction of wages and that
don't believe any reduction is in con
temptation. -

WE NEED A SMELTER.
That's What John Caplice, the Butte
Mining Man, Says.

John Capllce visited Philipsburg this
week. says the Butte Mining World
in it's last issue, where he is interested
in number of valuable properties,
among which is the Trout group, now
being worked by Johnson & Grimes.
This property has produced thousands
of tons Of high-grade silver ore, which
has been shipped to the Colorado
smelter. Mr.. Caplice says the burg
is not as lively as in days gone by. but
that it is holding it's own, and is be-
coming quite distributing point for
number of gold mining properties
that have started up since the slump in
silver.
"What that section needs, says Mr..
Caplice, sis smelter of say 1OO-ton
capacity. Everything is there in
abundance to operate such plant sue
cessfully and profitably. l know OF
several properties that would immedi-
ately open up if there was more rea-
sonable way to treat the ore on the
ground. To the right party l believe
this to be the best opportunity to build
a smelling plant in the west today

LINE FROM FOssToN EAST.
Where 1t VIII Run Is still an
Enigma.

A G. Poole, Of Itasca county, was a
caller at the Great Northern building
yesterday Mr.. Poole said that Tues
day the gang of surveyors working
southeast from Fosston; and under the
direction Of Joseph McGill, reached
Deer River, completing about 120e miles
of work When the heavy snow came
on the surveyors were forced to give
up work for several days, until one of
their number could go to Duluth and
purchase fifteen pairs of snow shoes
for the use of the crew.
From Deer river I understand they
are to run a straight line to the north
shore Of Bass lake" said Mr.. Poole.
From this point it is supposed the line
will turn northwest, cross Prairie river
at or near Prairie River Falls, and then
touch the southeast corner of the rich
foothills Of the Missabe iron range,
but from this point the route is not
known"
The above rather discountenances the
supposition that the Great Northern
will lease or purchase the Duluth, SUI
perior & Western which now runs to
Deer River A railroad man said that
President J. j. Hill, Of the Great North
ern, and President William G. Van
Horne, of the Canadian Pacific, were the
only two men on earth who knew just
what all this surveying really did
mean, and, as Mr.. Hill IS not disposed
to say anything. the public will have to
keep on guessing. As6T

The passenger officials of the Chica-

praying for word OF advice from
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, yesterday, but
they were disappointed, it seems. for at
6 o'clock last evening the city ticket
offices had not been advised that they
might meet the rate of the 500 on
east -bound traffic at one fare for the
round trip. There was no little i'm
patience at the delay, for all day long
the 500 was selling tickets at-a merry
rate. The 500, it is said, sold no less
than twenty-five tickets yesterday to
Eastern points, more than have been
sold by all the other roads put together
in week.
Chairman Caldwell viii probably be
heard from today, and if he authorizes
the rate, it will be only to start the
ball rolling again. for when General
Passenger Agent Galloway. of the 500,
was in St. Paul Monday he was heard
to say that if the Chieago-St. Paul
lines met his rate he would come
again with another" This would in
dictate that bed rock rates have NOT
been met as yet, and that there is a
lively rate war in sight.
