Legislative Notes.

der the direction of Loucks. who seems
to have soured on all democrats.
Itis rumored that Goodykooutz will
withdraw soon and that Loucks will
again enter the contest. He teegraphed
to Brookings county last night advising
the college authorities that unless they
could induce their members to cease
voting for Kyle that the appropriation
for the college would be reduced.
Seven populist members of the legis-
lature. veterans of the war of the re.
bellion, held a conference today and
decided that after Wednesday next they
would vote for Pickler fot United States
senator.

Railroad Strike.

A strike was insugurated last Tuesday
on the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific rail-
way by recently organized union of
the employees of that road. The cause
of the strike was the discharge of q
yardmaster, and the company alleges,
for subordination, and the strikers as
serted it is to make way for favorite of
the superintendent. The association on
Monday evening issued an uitimatum
to Manager Donohue that unless the
discharged man was reinstated by Tues
day noon a strike would result. They
were told that no man who left the
employ of the company and refused to
work when called upon would be al
lowed to resume work, and that they
might consider themselves by that re-
fusal discharged. The men who quit
are in all departments, switchmen and
brakemen mainly. The engineers and
ffremen voted to remain on duty and
said they had no grievances. Passenger
trains are being run on time and some
freight is being hauled. Should the
tieup be a success, probably 10000 men
in Montana would be thrown out of
employment. The road haus ore from
the Anaconda mine in Butte to the
smelters at Anaconda. The coal mines
at Belt, which employ upwards of 900
men, were ordered to suspend work for
ten days and preparations for filling the
smelters were in progress, and the
lumber departments at Hamilton are
closed There are probably 5000 men
in the mines and smelters alone, and
the situation looks very critical.-B. II.

The Excitement Unabated.

That there is at this writing we'll de.
fined stampede to various localities up
on the limestone belt, from all points in
the Southern Hills. which in its magni-
tude, is Unprecedented in our history, is
beyond question. What the result may
be can only at this time be conjectured.
The Deadwood Pioneer, which few
days since announced the discovery Of
sixty thousand dollar ore in the North
ern Hills, and is always disposed to paint
in glowing colors the reported mineral
discoveries in its own immediate section,
is disposed TO treat the discoveries made
in this locality with marked indifference
having stated in a recent issue that
nothing had been done here that would
warrant unusual excitement" This may
be true, as it will require time to def
nitely determine the value and extent
Of the discoveries made, but this does
not serve TO dispel the suspicion that
their remote location from Deadwood,
may cut a prominent figure with that
paper in the matter Of imbibing the
gloomy and forbiddIng conclusion. Be
| that as it may, ii is evident that public
opinion with reference to the merits Of
the discoveries has not been in the least
effected thereby and in addition to the
continuance Of the stampede, the work
of development has already began upon
number Of claims, Notwithstanding
the fact that in many places the ground
is covered by a foot of snow.
Upon the claim owned by c. B Hitch
upon which the ere was found which
caused the stampede Of last week, show
ing by assay test value of Sl75 90 per
| ton, four men are now engaged in the
work of development, and a number of
other claims are receiving similar at.
tentlon.
Further south in the vicinity Of Prin.
gle, twelve miles distant from this place
a number OF claims are being developed
from one OF which ore valued at S34 90
per ton is being taken out for shipment
to Aurora, Illinois, for reduction. Hun
dreds of claims in that locality have been
located in Che past few days, and the
tests name upon the ores, which in one
instance gave return of 1920 90 per ton,
would seem to warrant the unusual ex-
element" which is now prevailing in
that locality. 1t Is not possible TO
determine with any degree of certainty
what may be the outcome of all this
excitement over these new gold discov-
cries, but the problem will, in time, be
solved, and, pending its solution, the
confirmation or condemnation Of their
merits are alike unwarranted
We can only await the issue ardently
hopsing that the new field may even
surpass in its rich and productive char
character the most sanguine expectation,
that are now entertained by those who
are engaged in its practical develop
ment.

The purchase of controlling interest
in the Tom Boy Mining Company of
Colorado by the Exploration Company
Of London has been finally completed,
says tie New York Engineering and
Mining Journal, and the company has
been organized by the election of new
officers and directors. The fact that the
English corporation has taken an inter-
est in Colorado mine is good thing
for the state, since it really means not
only the full development of the mine
in question. but further and probably
large investments in other mines.
Colorado has plenty Of good properties
to offer, and new capital for that pur-
pose should be welcome. This transfer
is another proof that the Exploration
Company, always on the lookout for
opportunitie realizes that the United
States is the best country to invest in.

Newspaper Laws,


Some Of the statesmen at Pierre are
making al effort to change the laws
affecting newspapers, as usual. Tins
effort is made at every session. An
effort is being made to repeal the la~
relative to the foreclosure of Mortgages
by advertisement and have the same
done by court process. Another stock
target OF some statesmen, usually with
a grievance against some particular
newspaper in his locality, is to repeal
the law relative to official newspapers.

instead Of some particular county or
locality, and upsetting an arrangement
which is satisfactory to perhaps all the
rest Of the state. The Law, formerly, as
We understand it, provided for one
ofhcial paper In each county, and it was
allowed full legal rates. Afterwards, for
the better convenience of the reading

Of the official proceedings Of county
boards, this Law was changed, so az to
provide for three Official papers for each
county, where three were published,
each to be allowed one. third legal rates,
which arrangement Is small assistance
to much larger number of newspapers,
and convenience and accommodation
to three times the number of taxpayers
reached by one paper. at substantially
no increase in the cost. There is no
clamor on the part Of either people or
press for any change in these laws. We
have stated the reasons for the change
