The Paisley District.

About four miles south of Sylvanite is
the Paisley district in Montana, one Of
the most extensive of the many districts
surrounding and in which there are over
hundred claims, many having been en-
tensively developed. The character of the
ore is the same as that found in the Key
stone and is supposed to be a continuation
of the same vein. The prospect on which
the most development work has been done
is the Buchanan, owned by William Keel
er and Kalispell parties There are over
500 feet of tunnels and considerable other
work has been done in running open cuts

The Hecla mine on Canyon creek, Ida

AS has been stated, a part OF the War
ton claim in Camp Mckinney will be laid
out as a townsite. The claim lies between
the Cariboo and Waterloo, and is said to
have the same ledge as both. The prop
erty will be surveyed shortly.

According to Washington despatch to
the Boston Journal great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear upon President Nc
Kinley not to send supplies and troops to
Admiral Dewey, lest the occupation of
the Philippines complicate us in Eastern
affairs; and also to refrain from taking
Porto Rico and landing an army in Cuba
and taking Havana. The people who are
exertirg this pressure profess to think
that If we stop aggressive action now
Spain will agree to abandon Cuba and
the war can be ended without bloodshed
They are very short sighted folks. Fail
ure TO follow up our advantage now and
to push the conflict would be regarded
by Spain as sign of weakness, and the
Spanish government and the Spanish peo-
pie would be encouraged Ito more vigor-
Gus resistance. The Spaniards can stop
this w"r whenever they see fit by aban-
doning Cuba. Our ultimatum is the
withdrawal of Spanish troops from that
island and the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish
sovereignty over it. Until that is accom-
plished the war should be pushed by the
United States with all the vigor it is ca
palle of. 10 stop and parley now would
not shorten the war, it would prolong it.
1t would not save life, it would waste it.
The men who are urging the President
to stop the military and naval campaign
and try and resume negotiations with
Spain may Iuean we'll, but they are CIV
ing the worst advice possible. The war
must go on until Spain comedies our
demands, and it must be pushed with
relentless vigilance and vigor.

1t is by no means clear that the Cane
Verde fleet is in West Indian waters, not
outstanding reports that Spanish YES
sells have been seen at various points
in these waters during the past week.
These vessels may have been the vessels
which were on the Cuban coast when
Sampson began the blockade. There were
supposed to be fifteen or twenty Spanish
war vessels in that neighborhood when
Sampson moved his fleet from Key West
TO the Cuban coast, three or four of them
cruisers of considerable size. AS soon as
the blockade began these vessels disap-
reared, and it is by no means improb-
able that the Spanish vessels seen of por-
to Rico and San Domingo are some of
these ships. There is certainly no very
good evidence that any of them belong to
the feet that left Cape Verde. Where
that fleet is is still an unsolyed mystery.
That it is steaming in the direction of
the South American coast to try and in
tsrcept the Oregon is perhaps as probable
as anything, though it would cause no
great surprise if it should turn up at
CadiZ.

CLEARING THE SHIP FOR ACTION.
The Process Set Forth So That Landlub.
bers Can Understand 1t.

The average citizen knows little about
the magnitude of our modern ships OF
war or of the processes by which they are
operated. Very illuminating, therefore,
is the following bit of description by a
correspondent of Leslie's Weekly, writing
from Old Point Comfort:
Retiring time on board a man -of-wa
is early, because of the early rising hour
and the arduous labor of the day, and at
8 o'clock very nearly all the men, except
the few on watch, have retired. 1t was
shortly after 8 o'clock on the flagship
Brooklyn. Forward, the hammocks were
swinging, rocked gently by the roll of the
ship. In the ward-room five or six off
GERS sat reading, chatting and smoking.
On the quarter deck Lieut.. Doyle paced
to and fro in silence, while in their re-
speetive cabins Commodore Schley and
Capt. Cook and executive officer Lieut..
Commander Mason sat awaiting call
that they alone knew would be made.
The ship, sleeping on the bosom of the
ocean, is in port dress and not stripped
for action.

Doyle watches the boat through glasses

sharply, to the messenger, and the mu-
sicians came. Still the big ship and its
Inmates sleep, still the officers in the
wardroom chat and smoke, while others
have already retired. Still Mr.. Mason
and MIR. Doyle keep the glasses up.
'Sound the call of general quarters p
says MIR. Mason, and the drum rolls a
diapason to the trumpet's thrill treble.
Then comes transformation that knows
no equal for it's suddenness OF action and
shifting of scene.
From the quarters pour forth men dres-
sing themselves as they come, never
waiting for shoes or stockings. The siren
shrieks forth its weird steam blast, the
big gong clangs, the drum rolls, and be-
fore their clamor has ceased its echo ever

From the report of Mr.. Oscar F. Will.
liams, United States Consul at Manila,
it appears that our trade with the Islands
is very large. Twenty-Five consulates
representing the leading commercial ma
tons are maintained there, and Mr..
Williams says that the export trade COM
Ing under his supervision (thet is, des-
tined for the United States) equals that
of his twenty-one colleagues combined.
OF the total exports of hemp during the
past ten years, amounting to 914, 055 tons,
fl per cent went to the United States.
and the United States percentage Of the
whole is increasing. During the same IS

altogether to 1852, 900 tons, went to the
United States Cigars. tobacco, copra,
woods, hides, shells, indigo and coffee
constitute the other chief articles of ex-
port, and Mr.. Williams places the present
outgo from the islands TO the United
States at about 81, 900, 600 month. The
extent of land area comprehended in the

There is current impression that war
is very profitable for the newspapers, be-
cause there is a great increase in their
sales. AS matter Of fact the opposite is
the case. This statement from "The
Fourth Estate" tells the exact truth:

that war is q good thing for the news.

the largely increased circulation of the
papers is extremely remunerative to the
publishers. The contrary, however, !.

boys at from 40 to 80 cents hundred,
which barely covers the cost of the white

that the publishers must rely for Their
profits. In these times of war, however,
the volume of advertising is contracted

these are not ordinary times. If the war

1t might be added that the tremoIl.

THE RAILROADS.
Al FRp1GHT DISCUSSION.

The revenue stamps are causing cOn-
siderable expense and trouble to rail-
road men. The Pittsburgh freight
agents have been considering Canadian
and Mexican shipments as domestic,
says the Pittsburgh News. General
Freight Agent E. A. Dean, Of the PITTS
burgh & Lake Erie railroad, and other
local agents have been informed by the
authorities at washington, D. c., that
Mexican and Canadian shipments will
be considered as foreign shipments and
a ten-cent stamp must be affixed to
each bill OF lading and manifest Of ship
ments TO points in these countries. Do
nestle shipments require only a ons-
cent stamp on the bill Of ladlng, and
this win cost the railroads nineteen
cents more on every shipment to Cans
ada and Mexico. At an Informal meet
ing OF local freight agents 1t was de-
clded TO correspond with the authori'
des at Washington and make an ate
tempt to have this ruling revoked.
This correspondence has been begun,
