ton of the BlaCkfoot reservation which

sumner. What do the people think of
such an arrangement? Charley Con-
rad engineered the Indian sale. and
Charley Conrad has $l,500O00. Can IL
be that he has agreed with the secre-
tary to take the whole domain? II
these lands are to go into the hands of

Choteau Montanian: How Helena
Got the Capital" is now being some
what aired in the district courts. The
latest is the filing of a suit by r. y.
and w. II. Sutherlin. of the Husband
man, for claims aggregating $4,55695,
with interest from election day. 1894.
The Sutherlins claim that this amount
is yet due them for lauding Helenas
claims during that campaign. The
Herald sues for $4150; Yellowstone
Journal for 5000 and the Western Union
Telegraph company for S54072. There
are a number of other claims. We are
inclined to think hoggishness don't pay
until ii has to.

money No miner need be idle now
There is demand for gold mines-let
us satisfy that demand: there is a de-
mand for copper mines-let us salts
fy il.
All through the East and among its
capitalists there is cry for gold
mines. Money in abundance is ready
for investment i'm such mines. and as
Montana has them, why not find and
develop them? Surely. as much money
can be made. and il is said a great deal
more. I'm mining for gold. than ever
could he made in mining for silver.
We therefore say to our mining read
ers, to those who are engaged in pros
pecting the hills. do not sit down and
whine over the crime of 1873" for 1t
cannot be remedied now, but take your
picks and shovels and go into the hills
and look up the copper and the gold
and remember that one fairly good
gold mine is wortS and will sell for
more money than all the silver mines
in Montana.

seem so. for while in the most strait

nothing. A majority of our Legislators
are aware of the proper means TO be
applied to bring the government out of
the Slough of Despond' Yet they are
not. A minority have a scheme in an
other direction which they claim Will
bring about the same result, and have
secured the consent of enough members
from the majority to block both
schemes. Now If that is not madness,
we would like to know what IL is.
