WE MUST QUIT TOO.
New Feature OF the Behring Sea Agree
meut.

Washington, November 22.-One
most important features of the Behr
sea negotiations not heretofore disc
is that in the event Great Britain
Canada consent to a suspension o. pea
sealing for one year, the Unitel ;
the same time will agree to q susp d
of ali killing of seals for one year
Pribilof islands, constituting hs
American seal possessions in behriRg
The proposition follows therecommea
tion of the Paris court of arbiEragio
which suggested temporary SUSPENSE
of sealing on land and sea.
This brings up the question of the leas
OF the North American commercial com
pany giving it the exclusive right to take
seals on the Pribi.off islands. The lease
was made in 1890 for term of twenty
years.
In the event of an agreement between
the United States, Great Britain and
Canada, the rights of the company to
take seals would terminate for year. 1t
is said the right of eminent domain gives
the government authority for vaoating
the lease for this period without reference
to the wishes of the company. But aside
from this it is understood that the COM
pany would not stand on any technical
rights, but would regard the concessions
granted by Canada of such great advan-
tage in the preservation OF the seals as to
warrant a suspension of the islands
during one year.

Gebo mine on the Clarke's Fork. and
a quarter of a million of dollars will be
expended on the mine before a ton OF
coal is shipped out. The coal will be
disposed of at Butte, and the GebO mine

coal in the great Montana mining town
The Butte smelteTs use from 100 to 500

fore the latter coal Will be shut out

A town site will be Immediately laid
out on Clarke's Fork by the company
that owns the mine and the location

thusiastic Clarke's Fork promoter
The development of the new mine
means another gofd town for Carbon
county, another market for her agrf-
cultural products, a largely increased
assessment roll. and general prosperity.
She is to be congratulated upon her
bright prospects, for the new county
