The Restoration Of fSprospcrity.

Free trade has always been downe(
in this country whichever there has
been fair fight between it and pro.
lection. The free traders know this
full well, and for that reason they
resort, whenever possible, to under
hand methods to propagate their pet
theory. AS soon as they we're fairly
downed last November, they began,
| with much shrewdness and subtlety.
to lay the foundations for future pres
tige BY pretending to believe that
protcctionists had predicted that
prosperity like that of 1891 and 1892
would follow Immediately upon the
election of Mr.. Mckinley 1t was the
old free trade trick Of setting up a
man Of straw that they might knock
him down again-a game which has
proved only too successful in the
past. Now that sucll prosperity as
that Of the days of the Mckinley
law has not Immediately ronulovu,
the free traders have begun to say
that the predictions Of the protec-
tionists have not come taue> No pro-
protectionist Gained that great
prosperity would Immediately follow.
Every protectionist knew that no
measure Of prosperity equal to that
of 1891 and 1892 would come while
the anti-Anerican Wilson-Gorman
law was still in existence. What
they did claim was that the assurance
of a return 70 the system of protcc-
tion in then future would put an
end to further disaster and distress,
would give stability to whatever bus
mess had been saved from the de-
structivt power Of partial free trade,
and wo1ld restore confidence; and
that tie actual restoration of pro-
tectior would, in due time and at no
distant day, bring back such prosper
ity as we had in 1891 and 1892 under
the Mckinley law. Everything they
claimed as the immediate result of
the election Of Major Mckinley has
come true-and more, as every trade
report since November has proved.
And that their promises for the fu-
cure will be as surely fulfilled, the
revival already felt in business is
abundant cyidence.-Amcrican Econ.

SAVES 100 PER CENT.
New Electro. Chemical Process for Treat
ing Low Grade Ores.

/
Joseph Hebaus, of this city, has
perfected an electro-chemical pro.
cess for the extraction Of the precious
metal from low grade ores which bid:
fair to revolutionize the mining in.
dustry. The process has passed be.
yond the experimental stage, and
| patents are now pending.
"Wlth my process from four to six
ounces Of gold Or silver can be ex.
tracted from low grade ores with sc
CENTS worth Of chemicals," said Mr..
Hebaus- yesterday: ga machine
having a capacity of five tons will
require only one horse power to run
it, 1t will work on any kind Of ores
or compounds carrying either gold or
silver, and when the gold is in such
shape that the mills cannot save it
with mercury, I can extract 100, per
cent Of it without using any mercury
whatever.
"Witll a weak solution have been
able to save 100 per cent Of gold, !"
continued the inventor, 'sand from
IS to 90 per cent of silver. My pro-
cess is not applicable to ores Of a very
high grade, but with the baser sorts
it is a complete success. I expert
mented with Southern Cross ore the
other day and got IS per cent out of
it in less than two hours and half
No smelling or concentrating is
necessary where my invention is used.
| also got 81 and 90 per cent out of
the tai]ings of one of Largcy's mills.
"Where a mine has water power it
will cost nothing to use my process
except for the chemicals, which will
be a very small item The machine
is very simple, and man of ordinary
intelligence can learn to run it in
about an hour. Another great ad-
vantage which it possesses is it's ex-
treme portability. A prospcctor can
take small plant with him on his
trips, and in case of finding ore too
far from railroad to ship, he can
treat it himself"
Mr.. Hebaus, the inventor, has
lived in Butte several years. While
not a practical mining man he has
taken a complete course in chemistry
and assaying, and has been at work
on his process for number Of
months. a machine has already
been built in accordance with his
plans and specifications and is now in
successful operation at II North
Arizona street. Every experiment
hitherto tried has more than satisfied
Mr.. Hebaus, and several Of the big
gist mining men are already figuring
on putting in a plant. Butte Miner.

PELT BOUNTY FRAUD.
chotcau County Has Been Paying Out
Too Much Money

! LOO hucn money.
Great Falls, April 22.-Thc arres
OF James Fitzcr, alias, John Bowman
wanted in almost every county il
Montana for wolf and coyote bount,
frauds, at Salt Lake CITY a few dav'
ago, has developed a strange condi
tion of affairs in Chotcau county ant
one whereby the county is credited
with losing thousands of dollar,
every year. A warning has beer
given, and unless the illegal traffic
in bounty certificates is stopped at
once, special session Of the grand
jury is to be called and many business
men who have been closely identified
with the building up OF Northern
Montana will find themselves under
Indictment for fraud.
Filters operations have laid horc "
re+t~. vu..uivluu VI aIIalrs. ChOtcau
county, according to official records,
yearly issues more coyote bounty GER
tificates, with one exception, than
any county in the state. Now it
develops that many of the skins paid
for by the county have been taken
FROM animals killed across the inter-
national boundary and in the Dako-
tas. It has been the custom for
those actively engaged in slaughter
to take their skins to country mcr-
chants throughout the county, where
they could be disposed of at a dis
count. These merchants, when Il
sufficient number had accumulated,
would load up their purchase and
take them to the county seat. Most
Of them were well known and no
trouble was had about Identification.
With this perfected they would then
sign and make at1idavit to the form
which declares that the animals were
killed by or at the instigation Of the
signcr. In this way thousands Of
skins that the party receiving the
certificates had no actual knowledge
as to where the animals were killed
have been palmcd Off on the county
at So apiece.
After the story of Filters opera
tions had become public, county ot1i-
clals began to look into the matter.
A few days since a prominent Nor
chant IN ChOtcau county presented
a number Of skins at the county
clerks office to be punched. lie
asked county official to sign his
Identification certificate. Upon be-
ing questioned it was found that he
did not even remember the names Of
the parties from whom he got the
skins and knew nothing regarding
where they were killed: The county
clerk refused to punch the skins or
issue certificates.
The matter is going to be sirtcd to
the bottom and it is not at al i'm
probable that many or the county
certificates now outstanding will be
cancelled. 1t is also threatened that
MANY parties who have casl,cd large
of coyote bounty certificates
will be asked to refund the amount
unless they can show that they were
killed by their direction in Chotcau
county.
