AfrIca's Large Lake.

Lake Superior is in danger of losing
its distinction of being the largest
fresh water lake in the world. African
explorers begin to think that Lake Vic
toria Nyanza is larger. Superior
covers 81 200 square miles and Nyanza
has been credited with 10000. but re-
cent explorations have discovered a
hitherto unknown bay on its southern
side which SO increases its known area
as to make it question whether it is
not larger than Superior. Fuller ex-
plorations and more careful surveys
must be made, however, before de-
cisiOn can be reached.

GENERAL A NEWS.

The output of copper in Montana, ac-
cording to the report Of the geological
survey. aggregates 200, 1873, 157 pounds
in the year 1898, as against $50. 1885,
l41 in 1897. The falling off was due
to lack of production in the Butte dis
trict, but this bids fair to be collapsed in
the report for 1899. The demand for
copper has become so great that new
properties are being developed and the
yield for this year will far exceed that
for last. OF the total output Montana
produced 39.2 per cent.
The supreme court Wednesday passed
on the demurrer in the Welcome dis.
barment proceedings, sustaining it in
part and everything it in part. The
court struck out some of the bribery
charges as indefinite and declined to
hear the case unless it can be shown
there was reason for not bringing Grim
inal action in the district court. The
attorney general was given five days in
which to submit afidavits in III at
tempt to prove that the case could not
have been brought in the lower court.
Counsel for Welcome is directed to file
al answer within five days Of the time
the attorney general submits bis proof.
If the supreme court decides to III
tinue with the proceeding it will, il
usual practice ia followed. appoint q

The state board of equalization, COM

ing to the decision of the supreme court
to the effect that the board could not

without a corresponding reduction in
some other county, the power Of the
state board is somewhat limited in
that respect. The board will again be

ing the assessment of the railroads of
the state. a subject that has been before
the board at each meeting for the past
three years. The assessment of the
roads has been raised each year since
1896, and the railroad representatives
claim the companies are paying a large
proportion Of the taxes of the state now
and should not be further increased.

awaiting them an opinion from the at

a special election to vote Of a new

the same rs that advanced by County
Attorney Johnston before the board at

nothing Of the kind. The opinion will
have the effect OF holding the court

next regular election will be held.

said that no one had been authorized to

regiments provided for in the volunteer
act. 1t will require the presidents ex-

of the organization of these regiments,
even in the future.
