b Lists Are Now Open and Those
Who Want to Fight Under Old
Glory Now Have the Oppor-
tunity OF a Life Time.

While the Montana volunteers go
trundling merrily on towards the Pa
cinc' their envious brothers in Montana
will continue to organize companies for
service under Old Glory when their
assistance shall be required. In near
ly every city and village in Montana
there Is already started a nucleus for a
company of infantry or cavalry and in
some cities for both. In Anaconda SUBJ
stantial starts have been made towards
the organization of three companies, one
OF which is, cavalry. Some time ago
reference was made to the starting of a
company by business and professional
men here. Charles Causey has since
started a troop of cavalry. The latest to
gather together a band of willing work.
ers in Uncle Sans behalf is Joseph A.
Murray. He has already half a MAXI
mum company of infantry. He has had
valuable experience in the regular army
and is getting along well towards the
formation of a company of men. The
men, Age n occupation

Captain Causey's men will meet to-
night at Turner hall, when organi-
zation will be effected and additions to
the list made. Senator Carter, in an
swer to Captain Causey's telegram.
stated that he would try to find a place
for the new troop. and his assurance
has given the captain n his squad re-
newed interest in the work at hand.
1t is believed that before another call
is made, if another shall ever be made,
three full companies will be ready TO
respond Immediately. If Sampson or
Schley or both hould succeed in ami
hilating the squirming Cape Verde fleet,
such an announcement would swell the
list of volunteers far above the maxi
mum, just as the news of Dewey's vic
tory swelled the ranks of Hallahan and
billions companies over the limit. But
unless definite news of some important
nature comes, it may be some time be-
fore men now able and willing to en-
list will feel inclined to join a company
with prospects of active service so re-
mote as the present state of affairs
would Indicate. However. the lists are
open and those who care to get in on
the charter are given the opportunity to
do so.
Men DESTROYS of existing in the vol
unteer army who hold unpatented min
ing claims can, according to law, leave
their prospects without fear of having
them relocated during their absence. a
bill was passed by congress recently
which was especially framed for the
benefit of mine owners who may en-
list in the service of the government.
1t is as follows:
That the provisions of section 1924
of the revised statutes of the United
States. which require on each claim
located after the 10th day of May. 1872.
and until patent has been issued there
for. not less than 800 worth of labor
be performed or improvements
made during each year, shall not apply
to claims owned by persons who may
enlist in the volunteer army of the
United States for service in a war be-
tween this country and Spain. so that
no mining claim owned by such per-
son, which has been regularly located
and recorded as required by the local
laws and mining regulations. shall be
subject to forfeiture for non-perform-
ance of the annual assessments during
the time such owner is in the military
service of the government as afore-
said"
