There were at that time about 400
men employed in the mines and smell
tiers. and of these men about so per
cent were Mexicans. Mexican labor is
preferred in those mines and smelters
to American labor. All except married
men had to board at the company's
boarding house. and room at the com
pany's bunk house. run by Mrs. Zim-
norman. a relative Of Clark's. They
charged a dollar a day for board and
s. per month for bunk house; and 81
per month for a cowboy doctor to take
care of you when sick: and 500 per
month for hospital fee. The boarding
house was run by Joseph Giroux. who
also was superintendent Of the smelter
and mine. III a man did not board
there he could get no work. There was
a large number OF men working there
who. before the bunk house was built,
had little huts and cabins built for
themselves upon the hills. When the
bunk house was built, the company had
these huts and cabins torn down. and
the men were ordered to go into the
bunk house or else lose their jobs.
There was a bath house also. which was
run by the company. and a barber shop
in connection. Everything was deduct
ed out of a mans check before he was
allowed to see IL. The balance of the
check was given on Miller & Co. who
ran the company's store and who. IL
was understood among the men. and so
I understood. was a relative Of Clark.
Al this store everything was sold-gro-
%ceries. clothing. whiskey. tobacco-ev-
erything except fresh meat. In the
store the cheapest shoes, hobnailed.
that could be had cost $3.50. The same
shoes can be bought in Butte for $1.50.
Overalls that can be bought here for so
cents. were there sl.0o. A Jumper worth
here so cents. there cost sl.25. In Feb
ruary. 1894. Clark came in and cut every
man two bits on his days age There
were IS men working in the mines who
received $3.50 per day; while the rest
were paid from $3.50 to s2.25.

quentlY IN the dispatches referring to
peace negotiations, means "the original
copy of any writing, as of treaty, dis
patch or other instrument" Another
meaning given by Webster is: "The
minutes, or rough draft, of an instru-
ment or transaction" The protocol
which terminated the war with Spain
embodies the conditions upon which
the United States government con-
sented to order the cessation of HOSTILE
ties by our army and navy, and which
conditions will be the basis of the final
treaty to he drafted by a joint peace
commission to meet at Paris not later
than October l. Spain is required to
relinquish all claim of sovereignty over
and title to Cuba; to cede to the United
States Porto Rico and other Spanish
islands in the West Indies, and one
island i'm the Ladrone archipelago in
the Pacific, to be selected by the United
States, and to concede to the United
States the occupation of the city, bay
and harbor of Manila, pending the
conclusion of the final treaty which
shall determine the control, disposition

Importance to the United States by
reason of its location about midway
between North and South America
and commanding one of the chief gate
WAYS to the Caribbean sea, the island
of Porto Rico is quite certain to prove
a very valuable addition to our Sim

three times as large as Rhode Island,
very nearly twice as large as Delaware

of $3.50 square miles and is the most

returns its population exceeds 100000,
of whom two-thirds are Of white or
mixed races and One-third negroes.

Col. ]. HAM LEWIS has evidently
received some private advices from
jealous constituents and admirers to
the effect that public sentiment in this
state is apparently strongly in favor Of
the retention and permanent occupa-
tion by the United States not only of
Porto Rico and the minor Spanish ISL
ands of the West Indies, but of the
Philippines also, for he has announced
with more or less regret that he does
not agree with Congressman Bailey, of
Texas, and Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee, in their opposition to terri
torial and commercial expansion. Col.
J. Ham isn's so much interested in
what the Democratic national conven-
ton may declare two years hence as he
is in the action of the Demo-Pop con-
ventions in this state this fall. If it
seems advisable to change his opinions

IT is estimated that the Spanish,
war, up to and including August IL,
when the peace protocol was signed,
cost the United States about $50, OO0,-
900, approximately 81. 900, 900 day, Of
which S65, 800, 900 is charged up to the
war department and $50, zoe, 900 to the

will necessarily be very large for some
