The Bitter Root Valley.

In the Bitter Root valley in
western Montana there will
undoubtedly be the biggest
amount of mining business
done this year that has ever
been recorded by that region,
says the Missoula correspond
ent of the Anaconda Standard.
The mining districts of the up
per valley, where there has
been SO much prospecting done
for the past two years, will un-
doubtedly step into the pro.
ducing class before fall. Those
who are familiar with the
Overwhich and other districts
in that part of the country are
confident in their predictions
of success for the work that is
now in progress. A lot of
money has been spent in de.
veloping the mines up there,
and those who have been en-.
gagged in this work think they
have a better thing than the
klondike. There are noun
tains of ore there and much of
it is rich. There is rich grav-
ell in many of the gulches and
sacks of dust will come out of
there when the cleanups are
made next fall. In the lower
country, Quartz, Cedar, Cali
fornia, Oregon and neighbor-
ing gulches will this year ex.
coed the splendid record for
gold production that they
made last year. The inn
provements that have been
made there are extensive and
much more. dirt will be han.

Strike on the Hiyu.
Spokane Review.


News comes from Florence,
Idaho, of another rich strike
in the Hiyu mine. 1t is said
that an ore body has been en-
countered on the 90 foot level
that exceeds in value anything
yet opened in the mine, as
says running as high as $287.
"This strike was not un.
expected" said a gentleman
yesterday who had lately visi.
ted the mine. "On the so.
foot level ore of similar quail
ity was opened up, but the
vein was smaller and the val.
ues not so high. This strike
was made in the oo.foot drift
about I4o feet east of the
shaft. The whole face of the
drift is in ore, but not all of it
is SO excessively rich. The
pay.streak is a substantial one,
however. No mill test has as
yet been made to determine
the value of the ore across the
ledge, but average assays
were made in the hundreds,
"The news of the strike has
been a source of qualification
in Florence, for it demon
strates that the lodges grow
better to that depth at any
rate. Drifts have been run
east and west on the 90 foot
level on a continuous vein I6o
feet long and four to 20 feet
wide. Two raises are being
run, but none of the ore has
been stopped, and there is suf
ficient in sight to keep the
company's mill running for
the rest of the year.
"The company has a five
stamp mill, and the plant will
be equipped with a Whitley
table this spring. A heavier
hosting plant is also needed
and will be installed. The
addition of several stamps to
the mill is also contemplated
The present capacity is moi
over ID tons per day, and as
the mine has long since passee
the experimental stage there
is no ris k about putting in more
expensive equipment.
''Florence camp has beer
the scene of much actity dur
ing the winter. Many mines
have been steadily pounding
away and much good has
been accomplished. Every
body looks forward to a pros
porous season. Capitals com
ing into the camp"

Cool Impudence.

1t takes a deal of cool inn
pudence for the interests back
of the Gage bill to ask the
government to lend them its
credit, but they are equal to
the occasion. For years these
selfish interests have maintain
ed an organized attack on the
credit of the government.
With unblushing effrontery
they have commended that the
government lacked the ability
to put out and support a sound
paper currency, and with
equal effrontery have arrogat-
ed to themselves the exclusive
ability to put out circulating
notes that would be sound and
satisfactory.
The truth is that whatever
element of soundness would
lay in the proposed system of
circulating notes would be put
into them by the government.
Without the government
credit, the government support,
and the government guarantee
of redemption, the banks could
not put out a circulating me-
dunn that the people would
tolerate for day. Take
away the government credit,
and their notes would have
no stability. Some of them
would go close to par, but the
great bulk of them would
vary in value from nothing to
s. or 90 cents on the dollar.
Proof of this is found in the
vast difference now existing be.
tween the government guar
anteed notes of a broken ma
tional bank and the other La
bilities of such bank. 1t is the
governments credit, and moth
ing else, which holds nation
al bank note at par long after
the bank which issued that
note has gone into bank
ruptcy, its assets are disposed
of, its officers dead, and its
memory well nigh forgotten.
If a person lacking credit at
the banks should appeal to
another person of sound credit
to become his security for a
contemplated loan, and while
doing that should go about the
county protesting noisily that
the person of whom the favor
was asked had no credit and
was incapable of negotiating
a loan, the act would be re-
garded as one of stupendous
cheek and ingratitude. Yet
that is precisely what is being
done in a a national way by
the interests pushing the Gage
bill. They are demanding
that the governments green
backs be put out of circulation
because they are "unsound, >
and that the government credit
now back of these notes be
transferred to bank notes
which they want to issue and
loan to the people.

Ex-Governor Mcconnell,
United States Indian Inspector,
has recently returned from a
trip to the Payette to look up
a small band of Indians living
near the mouth of Dry Buck.
He tells an interesting story
about them.
1t appears there are 20 In
dams living at that point.
They have been there IL or IA
years. Two of them are
Snake river Indians and the
rest are supposed to be Nez
Perces. Just why they loca-
ted at that isolated point is
not known. The Indians
themselves will not explain the
matter, but the supposition is
that their settling there was
the result of some feud. Two
of them named Charley, father
and son, each had an eye
punched out by the tribe, sup
posedly for refusing to go on
the warpath at the time of the
Joseph outbreak. The elder
Charley died last winter and
the son is the head of the set.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advi les, very
large abroad of late. If this state OF
things holds, there will be an increasing
influx of British gold into this market.
This demonstrates the faith abroad in
the stability of our credit. There is
another point of faith for which the peo-
pie not only of this but foreign countries
have good grounds for credence. and
that is the belief in the efficacy of Hos

ROTHGCi: L.; l. :..aROED HIM.
While the I;itr,.s, WIS sitting as q Beggar

Dining on one occasion with Baron
James dc Rothsahild, Eugene Della
croix, the famous French painter, kept
his eyes turned upon his host in SO
marked manner that, when the COM
pany rose to leave the dining-room,
Baron James could not help asking
his guest what it was that SO attracted
his attention, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The palnvcr confessed that for some
time past he had vainly sought a head
to serve MS {. model for that of a beggar
he intended to hold prominent posi-
ton in a painting on which he was
then engaged, and that, as he gazed
at his hosts features, the idea sudden
ly struck him that the very head he
desired was before him. With this ex-
PLANTATION he ven.urcd to ask the baron
whether he would do him the favor to
sit for hir, rs the bcggar.
Rothsclild, being great admirer of
art in al its forms, and pleased to be
considered one of its chief patrons,
readily consented to assume a char.
actcr never before undertaken by q
millionaire.
The next day found him at the paint
er's studio. Dclacroix placed tunic
round his shoulders, put a stout staff
in his hand, and made him pose as if he

In this attitude he was discovered by
one of the artists favoritc pupils, who
alone had free access to the studio at
oil times
Naturally concluding that the model
had only just been brought in from
some church porch, and never dream
ing the chara ctcr assumed by him was
far from the truc one, he seized an op-
portunitv when his masters eyes were
turned to slip piece of money into the
beggars hand.
Baron Ee.li6child thanked him with
a look, and kept the money. The pupil
soon quittcl the studio. In answer to
inquiries made Dclacroix told the baron
that this young man possessed talent,
but no means; that he had, in fact. to
earn his livelihood by giving lessons in
painting and drawing.
Shortly after the young fellow re-
ceived a letter stating that charity
bears interest, and that the accumu.

had SO generously given to one whom
he supposed to be beggar was repre-
