Montana copper production for the
month of May amounted to nearly %.
100000 pounds.
The average price of silver in New
York during last May was 61.23 cents
an ounce as against 59.98 cents an
ounce during May, 1898. The average
price of copper during May of this
year was 1925 cents a pound as against
u cents a pound in May, 1S9S.-Ex.
p. G. Lidner, manager for Haggin
and DAILY, in the gold mining proper
ties in the FL Plomo district, Sonora,
Mex, has been in the city the past
week to purchase supplies. A sample
of float, the size of small hens egg,
which Mr.. Lidner displayed, is covered
with gold in spots. The sample will
go twenty ounces to the ton. The
Mexicaus have carried off such speci-
mems in quantities. Los Angeles Re-

The Gold Bug group of mines at last
has been bonded. w. H. Stearns, of
Wickenburg, has organized strong
company of Arizona and California
men to take hold with him and open
up the group. They have bond for
fourteen months. They are to begin
work the first of September and are to
do at least 500 feet of work during the
life of the bond. There is tunnel in
l2S feet which cuts the vein at l3S
feet.-Los Angeles Review.
Colonel Sutherland of San Francis
co. and his associates, are working
three-quarters of million tons of tail
ings, some by cyaniding and Others by
a secret process, at Candelaria, New.
His company is working twenty men
at present, but hopes to be able to in
crease the force before long to at least
100 in the mines owned by the com
pany are leads of silver ore which were
extensively worked before the drop in
the price of the white metal. There
are other ledges carrying both gold
and silver, and these will be opened
and worked on large scale.--Los An
geles Review.
A pros pector who has returned from
the Clark mining district, says the
Arizona Republican, says that rich ore
has been found in the Little Maudie
shaft on the Yuba Dam gold properties.
The assay returns showed four ounces
in gold and 70S ton in silver. The
in width and is exposed by about a
forty foot shaft. The vein does not
vary an inch in that depth until it
reaches the bottom of the shaft when
there is a widening that indicates a
great chute of ore below. T. ID. Morris
of Solomonville, is the owner of the
Little Maudie claim, and he also owns
a good many claims in the Clark dis
trict.
According to the Silver Belt there
are two former Phoenicians about to
make wealth in the Glo5' district; -.
c. Goodwin and j. p. Cole have located
six mining claims situated at the head
of Mineral creek, about twenty miles
from Globe. The discovery was made
10y Mr.. Goodwin some two months ago,
I'd the ore resembling the United
Verde ore, he went to Jerome to satisfy
himself fully on that point, and had
his surmise confirmed. The ores are
oxides and sulphides and assays made
here gave 35 per cent in copper and II
ounces in silver. The ledge is described
as very large one, and Messrs. Good
win aud Cole are confident that they
have valuable property"

COlum Dla. FOR time tnd' ii'"'
the Mecca of gold hunters, not only
for Californians, but for thousands IN
other portions of the west. The winter
of SO $50 checked the hegira; hardships,
suffering and deaths overlook the mis-
guided stampeders; American and
British government officials aided the
unfortunates to return to their homes,
and Frazier river remained as liquid
monument only, in the memory OF
those who suffered and lost their all
to gather a wealth which existed only
in the fevered imaginations of the un-
fortunate stampeders. But few
steamb boat companies and outfitting
merchants reaped rich harvest as
long as the craze lasted.
Montana's magnificent mineral, graz
ing and agricultural possibilities have
been partially made known through
the agency of the first gold stampeders
from the east, south and west. The
same holds true of Idaho and Colorado.
The first settlers in the three states
we're gold seekers. They were the trail
blazers. Those who came afterwards
protited by the success or failure Of
the pioneers. Gold hunters pioneered
civilization to the great west and
northwest. How many are left to tell
the story of their hazards, their adven-
lures. their tolls and sufferiDgs? But
few. But the story of that few may be
read in their whitened looks, their
deeply furrowed cheeks and in their
bent forms. They see the changes a
half century has wrought; they feel
them more.
At the close of the present century
it is seen that new crop of gold STAN
peders is in the van. The same love of
adventure, the same love Of gold, the
same determination to make or break,
fires them that filled the souls of the
old-timers. But conditions are changed
The stampeder of today, though he
meets difficulties and obstacles which
he must overcome, and finds no flowery
beds of ease on either side of his
pathway, has what the old timers never
found at hand. He has railroads,
steamships and coaches to convey him
toward his objective point, and finds
about all the comforts and many of the
luxuries which he left, when he sets his
stakes and commences his work OF
fortune building. The present day
stampeders has all these things. But
will he unearth the gold? Does the
country which has allured him contain
the gold that has made California
Montana and Colorado the greatest
mineral wealth producers in America'
Time alone will tell. When the history
of the Klondike, of the Seven Devils
of the Buffalo Hump, of the many ricl
mining camps in British Columbia anC
of the recently discovered gold plac
ers near Bering Straits shall have beer
written, the question will be answered
But of one thing all may be assured
stampedes for gold have civilized
bowling wildernesses, made deser
: places bloom aud blossom as the rose
and prepared the way for the buildin,
of homes, of hamlets, of towns and o
great cities. Gold stampedes may We
make the poles inhabitable.-Wester,

culated to command respect for you as
president of the United Statas?"
The president proffered his hand to
Gen. Scott, and thence with an apology
to the staff major. He observed the
lesson afforded and won, of course, the
respect of both.
The people of this country have just
ly come to highly regard not only the
United States supreme court as a body,
but its individual members with an
exalted degree of respect. The deeis-
ions of that court are accepted patri-
otically and meekly as the highest in
the land. 1t is possessed of the dignity
of ruler Some things which APP
peared as great political breaches in
the past have been submitted to be-
cause of the sources whence the de-
cisions emanated. The bred Scott de-
clSion; the overthrow of the habeaS
corpus act during the Civil war; the
decision in the greenback case, While
Salmon P. Chase, the author of the
original measure, was the chief jus
tice; the participation of the supreme
court in the cancellation of Samuel
j. Tilden's right to his seat as presi-
dent of the United States following his
election in 1876; the decision, and even
the redecision of the court in the mat
ter of the legality of the income tax law
in 1894; all these points of straining
popular opinion have not detracted
from the general confidence of the
community in the judgments of that
high court.
But all these judgments have sue
ceeded arguments. The unwarranted
and unbecoming attitude of Justice
Harlan in the extra judicial utterance
above noted will certainly, in the light
of history, be properly measured as an
act unbecoming the dignity of mem
Der of the court. Meanwhile the coun-
try will probably take care of the Fill
pinos; Mr.. Carnegie has proven his
ability to take pretty good care of
himself; but those who have the dig
nifty of the supreme court of the United
States at heart ought to try to do a
little looking out for the dignity of
Justice Harlan. OF course nothing said
here can be accepted as in the nature
of contempt of court. The talking on
ions, whether of national or interna-
tional bearing, would better be uttered
by majority of that tribune than by
individual members thereof on occa-
sions of young mems literary meetings
Besides, the principle introduced by
Justice Harlan in this case presents
the young literary men in a somewhat
awkward light

He was hurrying up Wabasha street like
a fire engine on a six-eleven summons. Sud-
denly he stopped. His swinging arms drop
ped limp at his side. He seemed paralyzed.

friend, coming up just then.
The other seemed to wake. "Oh," he re-
piled, nothing serious I was just hurrying

So they went in and waited till today.
Bishop Stanley was In town a few days
ago, and after being on the train all night
found that shave was necessary to the
preservation OF his clerical appearance. He
dropped into local shop and ensconced him
self in one of the chairs. The barber, know
ing him to be dignitary Of the church,
was particularly enthusiastic in his applica-
ton of lather. Finally he started the razor
over the bishops face.
AS the steel edge was lifted from it's sheath
of soap suds the bishop inquired, pleasant
ly enough:
Haven't you shaved me before?"
The barber was elated. 1t was enough to
shave such a prelate once but when the &C.
clesiastic not only remembered him, but the
deilcacy of his stroke, he was lifted to the
highest exultation
Where was it?'' he asked protesting to
be unconcerned.
II don't remember replied the bishop.

it had not manifested itself openly.
It is true the men have not come into
contact closely, and their relations be-
ing confined strictly to the exchange
of official communications there was
no occasion for the development of
personal friction, but in view of Gen.
Eagan's well known bitter feeling, it
is known now that their meeting last
week caused great anxiety, the
occasion being periodical session of
the managers of the soldiers home.
Gen. Miles is ex-ofhcio president of
this board, and Commissary General
Eagan is a member Of the board. The
two officers met. sat at the same
table, and transacted business without
the slightest signs of ill-fee1ing and
without showing a trace of animosity
Tor what had gone before. 1t is a
matter Of speculation, however, wheth-
er, falling proceedings before a court
martial or some other judicial method
of disposing Of the issue between the
two men, the relations between them
can be preserved to the point where

three months past. This cereal. and corn are
both In exceptionally good demand abroad,
judging from the large exports reported, ana
good foreign demand is likewise the secret OF
strength in cotton shipments. which continue
heavy. A feature of the dealings in this
staple. is the steady demand for good grades
and the Indifference manifested toward low
grades, which. owing to bad weather at tho
South have been larger than the usual sup
ply. Cotton manufacturers have been COM
planning for some time of the low spinning
quality of the present crop.
while large sales of iron and steel are
not so numerous as In recent weeks, further
advances in prices, notably Of pig iron steel
billets. plates and rods. bear testimony to
the eagerness of buyers to secure supplies,
and the almost corresponding Indifference OF
the trade toward new business, order books
or most of the mills being reported well fin
ed. Pig Iron production Is the heaviest ever
known. but stocks show further depletion.
The successful floating Of a number Of large
consultations in this industry of late has
naturally stimulated interest and discussion
OF further consultations.
The formation Of syndicates however, is
not confined to iron and steel, because within
the week there are reports of projected great
tobacco syndicate, having for its object the
securing of control of the entire Cuban sup
ply. this year Among other rumors of con-
solidations is the story from the Pacific coast
of "a proposed consolidation of salmon can
neries. Tin plates show the effect of the
consolidation in this line in an advance from
tHe low inquire reached Scme months ago.
In other industries activity is a feature, "a
