FIGHT FOR A PATENT.
Issses VIII Soon be Joined In the Great Fight
For Patents to the Gilt Edge and
Lookout Mining Claims.

That the mines at Gilt Edge are
exceedingly valuable might be proven
In many ways, but it is enough to
know that the biggest contest ever
waged in Fergus county is soon to
begin for the issuance of patent to
two of these properties.
The mine known for years as the
Gilt Edge was discovered by w. Z.
Wilson and by him sold to Mrs. r.
A. Ammon for the old Gilt Edge Min
| ing Co., whose interests were subse-
quently transferred to the Ammon-
Stivers Mining Co., October 5th, 1896,
II. S. Sherard, as agent for the Am
mon-Stivers Mining Co.. applied at
United States land office in Lewis
town for the issuance of a patent on
this ground, but as an adverse claim
had already been taken to the dis
trict court for settlement, the appli-
cation was refused. Now n. j. Lit
tlejohn, presumably representing the
Phelps-King interests, asks for a
patent to the Plattsburg lode, which
is the same ground claimed under
the Gilt Edge filing. There are four
separate and distinct claims to this
ground; viz:
The Ammon-Stivers Mining Co.;
Moshner < Butts, claiming under
deed given them by the sheriff after
period for redemption of the property
had expired; w. r. Early of FIT. BEN
ton, assignee Of the judgment credit
ors of the Ammon-StiversM Mining Co.,
which included Bank of Fergus
County, Montana Hardware Co.,
Power Mercantile Co., j. W. Gray,
and others; n. j. Littleiohn, claiming
under a relocation of ground, claim
ant alleging uon-performance of as
sessment work on the part OF the
Ammon-Stivers Co., in 1886.
| Mr.. Littl,,iohn's period of publica-
tion OF notice of application for
patent will expire in few days and
already three adverse claims have
been filed and another is expected
this week. From the land Office the
whole matter will be carried to the
district court and n battle-royal is
expected.
Concerning the Lookout lode,
originally filed upon by III. Schmitz,
II. Loosen, VIM. Netting and one
Johnson, nearly ms bad a state of af-
fairs exists. Martin Maginnis of
Helena, filed claim under the name
of the Peerless, which location covers
u considerable proportion of the
Lookout ground. Mr.. Maginnis is
now applying for a patent thereto
and his claims have been adversed by
Schmitz & Netting. and by w. Del.
Benedict, the latter claiming under
an alleged prior location to that Of
Mr.. Maginnis. The Lookout contro-
versy will also be taken to thecourts,
in fact the first round is announced
to come off before Judge Smith at
Helena this week, in the case entitled
Moshner & Butts VS.. III. Schmitz and
VIM. Netting. for specific perform
ance OF contract.
In the meantime E. w. King,
under lease from Moshner & Butts, Ia
taking ore from the Peerless and
J Plattsburg lodes, and while the
. Others are filing papers, is taking out
; ore enough to meet heavy attorney
: fees and court expenses when the call
comes for him to go into the ring.

until at length they acquired the
SPLENDID continental domain which

NO CASE AGAINST PROTECTION.
interstate competition the Cause Of Trouble
In the Cotton Industry.
Cedar Rapids Republican,

Cedar Rapids Republican,
Among the multitude OF evidences
that the Industrial life OF this nation
has been revived during the past
few months, In other words, since
the passage of the Dingley bill, there
is disagreable news of discomfort
from the New England states be-
cause the managers of the big cotton
mills have been Obliged to make a
cut In wages. As might have been
expected, the Democratic journals
are willfully shutting their ears to
the happy hum OF renewed industry
which is the rule and are devoting
all their energies tn exaggerating
the Importance Of this one depres-
sion, which is the exception. "Of
what benefit" they shrek. in a dis
NAL chorus, lis the Dingley law to
these cotton operatives?"
The true lesson to be drawn from
the facts Of the present depression In
the cotton industry is a very differ
ent one from that which the free
trade organs are endeavoring to
teach. 1t emphasizes, rather than
conflicts, with the principle of pro-
lection, which is the basis of the
Dingley law. The statistics Of the
commissioner of labor show that
not only are the wages Of the south
ern cotton workers considerably
lower than those in the New Eng
land states, but also that the hours
of labor are much longer. In Maine
the bours of labor q week are sixty
and in Massachusetts fifty-eight,
while in the southern states they
range from sixty-six to seventy-two.
There is full and free competition be
tween the southern and the north
ern states, and hence one of two
things must happen-either the
southern scale must go up or the
northern scale must go down. The
south has been making great strides
in social advancement of late, and in
good time let US hope the scale of
living will be fully as high al that OF
the north, but until that time
comes the operatives in the north
must suffer from the competition OF
their southern brethren. In the
meantime they may rejoice that the
Dingley law shields them from the
competition Of the cheaper workers
Of other countries SO that when
equalization IL perfected between the
north and. the south their struggle
will be over. In the meantime, also,
they will soon be benefited by the
prosperity in other lines of Industry.

AnON0 THE MINERS.
Busy Scenes at Gilt Edge and the Spotted
no; Sc.

The writer Sunday last drove to
the mining camps at Gilt Edge and
the Spotted Horse and was gratified
to find nearly everyone busy: the
managers not so busy, however, but
what they were pleased to show us
about the works and discuss the
outlook for the properties under their
management.
At Gilt Edge the mill is now handl-
ing about so tons of ore per day and
this will probably be increased soon
to 100 tons. The ore is being taken
from the Gilt Edge and Fraction
lodes, and while of low grade, when
worked in large quantities and under
careful management, is bringing the
company good returns. There are
few idle men in the camp, yet the
demand for laborers is amply suppli-
ed. At present some % men are en-
ployed, the mill hands working in
two shifts and the miners in three.
E. w. King, manager, says that as
soon as the legal controversy over
the titles is settled, if his interests be
successful, many improvements will
be made. Among these will prebab-
ly be a gravity tramway for the
conducting of the ore from the mines
to the mill. But SO long as the title
to the properties is so heavily cloud
ed it is unwise to make heavy invest
ments.
! Mr.. King presents striking con-
trast to Honest Bob" who shone
SO brilliantly at Gilt Edge for brief
space. When Mr.. Ammon moved he
had shining gold bars to show the
curious, but when pay day comes
his employees got a ''stand-off." To
use Mr.. Kings own language, ~
prefer to show the employees little
more gold and the public a little
less" With mining camp mo news
is good news and Gilt Edge is no
exception. Every man is SO busily
employed and SO promptly paid that
he has no time for "high jinks' or
fairy tales.
In the camp little reliable news
could be learned of G. III. Purmont,
who has made two or more pay
ments on the Chicadee and was ex-
pected in Gilt Edge before this time.
1t seems to be anticipated that he
will arrive soon and commence active
operations-some going SO far as to
predict that he will put up mill at
once.
Among the townsfolk, all seemed
contented-"Billy" Graham's smiling
countenance and aldermanic pose
indicated satisfaction with himself
and surroundings. .
At Spotted Horse the mine and
mill were both running, ore being
raised from the main shaft and ten
stamps dropping in the mill with
three of the seven vanners running.
A. l.. Losinger liz in charge of the
mill and Mr.. Mansfield of the mine.
The work of sinking the main shaft
100 feet deeper has progressed 30 feet
and the Indications are for a strike
Of rich ore within few days. After
going through the mill the ore is
shipped to Great Falls for treatment,
two heavily loaded teams being now
on the road.
Mr.. Losinger says that as soon az
sufficient water can be secured the
remaining ten stamps and four van
ners will be started and the mill run
to it's full capacity. The owner Mr..
Bright, left Monday for the east, but
will return in about three weeks.
Altogether, the outlook in both
camps is very promising for a sue
cessful season to both employers and
employed.

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA.
When to Do and Where to Outflt is Answered
by juneau Maa.

by juneau Maa.
(Anaconda Standard.)
The Western Montana office of the
Standard Ia in receipt of the follow
ing letter from William Brabazon,
who formerly resided here and who
is now doing a good business at Ju-
neau. The letter will prove interest
Ing to many who have their eyes
turned toward the Yukon and may
be of service to them in making their
preparations. II is as follows:
I'm answer to many questions
asked by inquiring friends regarding
the best time of the year to start for
Alaska and the Yukon district of the
Northwest territory. allow me to
state through the columns of your
valuable paper that since my arri-
val here 1 have made myself thor.
oughly acquainted with the facts as
they exist, and can assure you that
my statement is made without
prejudice or thought of pecuniary
gain. Facts are what the people
want and in the very face of many
contradictory statements, will say
without fear of successful contradic-
tion.
1.-THE questions referred to are
about as follows: What time of the
year should go to Alaska? Where
should I outfit? And why and how
do you explain why Juneau can out
fit as cheap as sound points? To
these questions answer as follows:
II you intend going into the interior
you should arrive in juneau from
this on till the 1st of April; II your
object is to go into the interior, you
should purchase nothing until you
arrive In juneau. Here youcan buy,
and everything you need. at prices
as low, or lower. than elsewhere.
Juneau is commercial center
and the Yukon outfitting and min.
ing industry of the coast of AIaska q
IL her support. Therefore the
merchants are men who know ex.
actly what a miner wants. Years
of experience have given them u
thorough. practical knowledge not
obtainable outside of juneau.
SHOULD you buy your goods In
Canadian ports, true. you will escape
paying duty, but you will have tc
ship your goods through from Dyes
to Lake Bennett in bond, which re
quires you to have an 90 Americas
customs officer in charge OF thu

expenses, and not allowed the priv
ilege OF opening or using any of your
goods while on American soil.
1.-The expenses of a customs officer
would amount to more than the
duty would amount to on the same
amount OF goods bought In juneau.
The cost Of an outfit complete de-
pends, OF course, on quality and
quantity, ranging from $3.50 to $4OO
Fare from Juneau to Dyea, including
fair-sized outfit. Is from $5 to $40
and you should also have from $25(
to $500 In cash In excess of all ex.
penses to the gold fields. Nuggets
do not grow upon the bushes, even
on the Yukon, SO you need not bring
a basket"
