by President Lincoln in May, 1868,
covering a period of "a years and
seven months. With his service as
member of the supremecourt of Cali
fornia his career as judge extends
over a period of nor than forty
years. 1t is with no little pride and
satisfaction that the eminent jurist
refers to his appointment by the mar
tyred president. Judge Field needs
no better eulogy for his long service
to his country than his own modest
words: 81 may be pardoned for
saying that during all this period,
long in comparison with the brevity
of human life, though In retrospect
it has gone with the swiftness of a
tale that Is told, 1 have not Stunned
to declare in every case coming before
me for decision conclusions which my
deliberate conviction compelled me
to arrive at, by conscientious exer'
else of such abilities and require

General McKenna has been mentioned
as his probable successor. He is wei
qualified for the place and it is more
than likely this object was in view
when Mr.. Kenna was appointed to
the position he now holds.

w. E. Wilson last week received adj
vices from Geo. PurmOrt, now in
London, that the bond he holds on
the Chicadee mine in the Gilt Edge
district would be taken up at once
and the amount, $4,000, paid over
at an early day. A portion of that
amount has since been received in
Lewistown for Wilson's credit and
the deal Ia certainly a go.
This mine lies in the same locality
rs the Gilt Edge, Lookout and other
claims, which have attracted SO much
attention. 1t was at n time bond
ed to the AmmOn-Stivers Co., but the
deal was not completed. Last year
Mr.. Purmort, who is a resident OF
Wyoming, purchased the Standby,
Standby No. 2 and Fraction from Mr..
Wilson and secured this bond ON the
Chicadee. Since then he has inter
ested British capital in the enterprise
and 1t can reasonably be expected
that work will be commenced at an
early date and a mill erected. Mr..
Purmort remarked, while in Lewis
town in August, that he would not
close the deal until he had 500, 900 be-
hind him and it IL earnestly wished
that his hopes have been fully real.
lied.
With the work now under way by
Messrs. King and Phelps, the promise
of active operations at Spotted
Horse, the sale of the Chicadee to
English capitalists and the bonding
of the New Year for $4,000 to CAPT
tai represented by w. del. Benedict
the future seems very encouraging
for the mines OF Fergus county.

According to the American Wool
and Cotton Reporter the exports OF
Australian wool for the season OF
1S96-97 shows an increase of IL 600
bales over 1866. In the face of this
fact what becomes of the contention
of the Organizes that the rise in the
price OF wool was owing to the
drouth and consequent shortage of
the Australian wool clip? Here is an
increase instead of a deficit. Fine
Australian woods bring 81 cents in
the grease in the American market,
while the London quotations for the
same wool is only 10Y pence, or 81
cents in American money, the diff
renee being about the amount of the
duty imposed by the Dingley tariff.
To most people it would seem that
the Dingley law and not foreign
shortage was responsible for better
wool prices in this country and that
the fimsy claim OF the Bryanites will
have to keep company with that
other exploded contention about
silver regulating the price of wheat.

On the first page will be found an ar
ticIe from the Anaconda Standard
relative to the Great Northern build
ing a railroad into the Basin i'm
which the statement is made that
the board of commissioners of this
county was interviewed concerning
a right of way. Messrs. Wareham
and Goodell, of the board, were in
town yesterday and denied having
been approached on any such subject.
However, the idea of the board hav-
ing any say in the matter Of a right
of way is 80 manifestly absurd that
it is hardly worth while denying.
The North American Review for
October contains q remarkably inter-
esting paper on Immigration and
the Educational Test" by Prescott
F. Hall, Secretary of the Immigra-
ton Restriction League, wherein is
suggested a remedy to allow the
country the benefit of desirable i'm
migration and curtail u hospi-
tality to those from foreign lands as
little as possible, but which shall yet
effectually bar out the elements
which are a grave source of danger
| to the state.
Frank Wallace died at the county
hospital Sunday morning last, after
a prolonged confinement to his bed.
Deceased was well known about
Fergus county, and variously termed
"COl." or Major" by the public.
He had been a resident of the county
for many years, a considerable por-
ton of the time being a county
charge, but for two years making
his home ON the Judith river. Mr..
| Wallace claimed to have served In
the Seventh q. s. Cavalry and to
have been wounded while In the SER
vice. The war records showed him
to have enlisted in that regiment in
1876, but as no record of his being
wounded or of his discharge could be
found, he was not a pensioner. The
cause of death was the decaying of
vitalities as a result of an old wound
he had received In the hip and which
had troubled him o many years.
The Col" was well supplied with
stories of adventure In the first and
second Riel rsbelliOns and i'm the
government service, but none were
published. He had been married to
a Piegan squaw in the early days
and leaves a daughter, about %
years of age, who has lived at st.
Peters mission since her childhood
and is now a teacher in the Indian
school. Deceased was about 60 years
of age.

The Democratic press will try to
extract a crumb of comfort out OF
the municipal elections in Indianapo-
lis and Chattanooga, but it will
recall the remark of Bob Ingersoll
that 1.-THE Democrats always win a
pot when there is nothing in it."
Indianapolis is a Democratic city in
local affairs, though it turned down
Bryan by large majority last fall.
Chattanooga is safely Republican on
national issues but the apathy OF
Republicans and disaffection among
the negroes caused the change. Ten.
nessee will go Republican in 1900.

BREEZES FROM THE JUDITH.

Tom Draper has returned to his
old home in Tennessee.
Mrs. J. Wyatt left for her home in
Tennessee last Wednesday,.
Mrs. E. E. Corbin of Butte is visit
ing her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Bach.
Walter Waite is in Utica looking
looking after his stock interests here.
Mrs. VIM. Hamilton of Butte is the
guest of her neice, Mrs. w. III. Leard,
for a few days.
Mrs. C. NJ. Belden, accompanied by
Miss Lizzie Jackson, has returned
from the Falls. where she went to
meet her husband.
The firm of Jones & Carr has sus-
pended operations in Utica. They
evidently found this city too much
devoted to the temperance cause Ia
support two saloons, and they have
sought green fields add pastures new
at Gilt Edge.
Several of our cattle-men have re.
turned from Chicago with satisfac
tory reports of the beef market
Mckinley confidence and Providence
have placed the business conditions
of the country i'm such shape that the
people a again afford to eat beef
and pay for it.
The peace-loving citizens of Utica
are discussing the advisability o.
building a cooler. The climate of the
city is 80 oppressive at times that
it deprives certain citizens of theil
reason, and their actions under sucf
circumstances would be a disgrace
to a community of canibals. Hence
the cooler.
