When normal conditions have been re-
stored as the result of a settlement of
peace an effort will be made to increase
the standing army to 100000, instead of Co.,
600 men, as provided IN the Hull bill. Such
an army will doubtless be needed for some
time to come, and in view of the extended
interests of the United States 1t will prob
ably not be bad idea to maintain such a
force of well trained men. Though we
would have comparatively no difficulty in
getting a large volunteer army into the
field it is wise to have a well trained
force of fair proportions ready for duty
at moments call.

The HeaIthiest of All.
From the Chattanooga Times Dem.).

Chattanooga has the satisfaction of
knowing that Camp Thomas. in the three
months and more of its existence, has
been the healthiest of them all. There has
been less sickness in the army there than
in any army of like numbers, of raw re-
cruits. ever assembled in this country. In
the regiments that have been managed by
real soldiers, men who knew their duty
aud did it, there has been a surprising
small sick list.

The increased production Of these cop
per ores during the year., some of
which carried higher values In silver
to the ton, explains this increase.
Silver mining. as an industry in Mon
tana, continues to decrease in import
ance. With the exception of the silver
properties at Elkhorn, Castle and Mel
hart. and the Hope mine at Philips
burg, all of the famous silver produc-
ing mines of former years are idle.
However. negotiations are reported
between the companies interested look
ing to a consolidation of the Granite
Mountain and the Bi-Metallic mines
at Philipsburg into one corporation.
Owing to the low price of silver the
operation of these properties unde
separate arrangements has been found
Improbable.
Montana produced 237. 15s.5lo fine
pounds of copper in 1897, which is
equivalent TO So % per cent. of the en-

The increase I'm gold was due to a
renewed working Of the placers at
Bannack. while the decreased silver
production is wholly explained by the
lessened operations of the Hecla com
pany on account Of the exhaustion of
the ore bodies at their mines.
The Hecla Consolidated Mining and
Smelling company own a number OF
claims on Lion mountain in which
considerable development and much
mining has been done. The ore ex-
tracted was supplied to their reduc-
ton works. The operations In 1897
were confined principally to the Cleve
