WILL RAISE A NOVEL POINT.
Anti-0ambIing Law TO Be Attacked on the
Ground That II Was Not Legally
Enacted.
Helena Herald.1

The Chandler anti-gambling law
will be attacked in the supreme
court right away, il the reports one
hears upon the streets are to be
credited. 1t is reliably stated that
the supreme court will be asked to
issue writ of mandamus to COM
pei County Treasurer Garrett to
issue a license to Proprietor Tamkin
of the Combination gambling house
who it viii be remembered made
formal demand upon Mr.. Garrett
for license not long ago, rendering
him the money, which was refused.
The attorneys for Mr.. Tamkin will
raise a question which seems to have
heretofore been overlooked by the
lawyers that have searched in vain
for a loop hole through which the
law could be attacked. The passage
ground that it was not brought
about in strict accordance with the
terms of the constitution. The con-
stitutiOn provides that every county
shall be represented in the legisla-
ture, otherwise the laws enacted
will not be legal. The attorneys for
Mr.. Tamkin claim that such was not
the case with Broadwater; that it
had been created, but had no voice
in the passage of the law in question.
The bill creating Broadwater
county reads: Section 10. This
act shall take effect and be in force
from and after the first day of March,
1897"
Tamkin's attorneys claim that the
county officers of the new county
went into office on the first day of
March, and upon that date the new
county was full fiedged i'm every par
ticular, yet it had no representation
In the law making that was subse-
quent. March the anti-gambling
bill passed the house and was signed
by the officers of both bodies and the
governor and became a law three
days after Broadwater was created.
The new county had no voice in the
creation of the Chandler law; there
fore the law is invalid. argue Mr..
Tamkin's attorneys. II this point
results in knocking out the law il
looks as though every other bill
passed after the creation of Broad
water was invalid. This would
knock out a lot of appropriation
and other bills, and a special session
of the Legislature would be a neces-
sity. One well known attorney who
was asked for an opinion said he did
not think Tamkin's lawyers would
make the point stick, as it was a
little too much on the hair splitting
order.

MONTANA VS.. ALASKA.
The Riches Of Aicsr 0uIch compered With
Those of klosdyke.
Helena Independent.l

Many Montanians are now rush.
ing to the Klondyke gold fields from
Montana, under the impression that
the showing made there is the
greatest ever known. They are in
clined to forget the real magnitude OF
the discoveries in Montana in the
early days. and the immense quanti-
ties Of gold taken out of the bars
and gulches, in comparison with
which anything that has thus far
come from Alaska Ii insignificant.
There were more gulches in Mon
tana that actually yielded millions
than may ever be discovered again.
There are many single claims that
yielded far greater returns than have
been told of by the letters OF visitors
to the gold fields of the north.
The richest placers ever discovered
in the world were found in Montana.
at Alder gulch. where Virginia City
stands. More than $5O,0O0,0O0 in
gold dust formed the total output
Of that rich locality. Ofthat amount
probably $25,OOO,O 900 were taken out
within three OF four years after the
first years work.
Last Chance gulch where Helena
now stands, would cause a Klon-
dyke rush all by itself, it is believed
by some, If it were once more stripped
of the valuable houses that now
stand upon 1t and the industry of
the miner were given field for work.
The four original discoverers took out
of their five claims, one claim for
each man and the discovery claim,
nearly 500, 900 each, the richest of it
being not far from where the corner
of ClOre and Wall streets now is
And there was another wonderfully
rich portion, a piece OF ground 200
feet square near where the Montana
Central railway depot now stands
that yielded its owners, Taylor and
Thompson, $3O0,OOO. And in the
estimation of many the lowest bed
rock ought to have contained the
richest dirt, and it was not reached.
The output of Last Chance gulch has
been estimated at $20,0O0,000 and
some do not believe that figure was
high enough.
AS compared with the output OF
the new fields in Alaska the output
of Montana was wonderfully large
during the first years Of the gold era.
For the first five years, from 1862 un-
til 1867, the yield of Montana gold
was $50, 10000 The total output
Of the placer mines from 1862 until
today amounts to In the neighbor-
hood of $225, ,OOO. 900.
The country, wherever 1t is, that
is more truly a land of gold than
Montana will be rich indeed

BOOMING HORSE MARKET.

Joseph II. DumoDd, n prominent
stock raiser of Eastern Washington

says the Miner. Speaking of the
rush to the Klondyke he said:
Zone peculiar feature OF the craze
is the effect it has had Oh the horse
market. The plains ofeastern Wash

that have for several years been con-
sidered worthless. These horses are
usually tough and wiry animals and
make first class pack horses. AS
such they are now in great demand

over to the Sound across the Cas-
cade mountains and sold them at an
average of $50 a head which was a
splendid price, considering the horses
could have been purchased less than
twelve months ago for less than one
fifth of that price,"
Speaking of the horse market at
Seattle, q local publication says:

HELD UP IN THE PARK.
Two nasked HiRhwaymen Relieve Tourists
of $500.

YELLOWSTONE LAKE, Wyo., Aug.
1.-two masked highwaymen held
up and robbed a number of Yellow
stone National Park Transportation
company coaches, relieving the
tourists of about $500. Up to 6
O'Clock this evening the fugitives had
not been apprehended. The coaches
were robbed while en- route from
Canyon basin and had covered but
about five miles of their journey.
At the point where the hOldup
occurred was the crest of high hill,
where the freight road branches OFF
from the government road at a sud-
den turn. When the first coach came
along the robbers, with masked
faces and cooked Winchester rifles,
commanded the driver to halt.
While one man kept the occupants
of the coach covered the other re-
lieved them of their money. When
all had been secured the driver was
ordered to proceed at gallop.
Each coach was halted in the same
way as it drove up, the proceeding
ones being hidden from view by the
trees. When the last had been
robbed the bandits departed for
parts unknown. Colonel Young has
an excellent description of the men
and it will be almost impossible for
the highwaymen to leave the park.
The holdup occurred about 10 O'Clock.
but nothing was known of 1t until
the coaches reached Norris, about an
hour later. Colonel Young was i'm
mediately notified by wire and soon
had the soldiers galloping to every
possible outlet of the park.
Two men answering the descrip.
ton of the robbers were tracked in q
southerly direction along the eastern
shore of the lake. Troopers will at
tempt to head them on by crossing
the lake ON the government steamer
Great hopes are entertained of theiI
ultimate capture. None of the pas
sengers In the coaches were hurt.
