INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug

Alcoholic stimulants have SO congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-

Safe Return of the Missionaries,

Lon R. Hoss, of the Citizens Call, and
DIR. S. w. Minshall, of this city, have
returned from Helena, where they had
been engaged. in missionary work. A
peculiar circumstance associated with
the return Of these gentlemen from the
Capital City was that each one received
shipment Of household furniture from
Helena tre following day. Whether
this was merely coincidence or whether
the furniture was forwarded as a com
pensation for their services rendered
while at Helena, we are not in a posi-
ton to say. This style of remuneration
if it was such, may be excusable in the
medical profession, but a newspaper
man ought to be subjected to censure
for breaking the rule. The Mail ap.
proves the cash system now in vogue,
and while furniture may be all right in
its place it is too bunglesome a com
modify to be adopted as medium OF
exchange by the newspaper fraternity.

WHITESIDE ISUNSEATED
Geiger Is Declared Elected Senator From Flat
head County by Vote of ID to 9.
THE GRAND JURY REPORTS
Evidence Produced in the Bribery Scandal
Insufficient to Sustain the Charges,
1t Was the Most Sensational Day
of the SeSsiOn-The Vote.

Yesterday was another memorable
day of the sixth Legislative assembly
and the personal safety of several
members was in peril. A fist fight is
reported to have occurred at the Hotel
Helena, and gun plays were momen
tarily expected. Last evening, it is
said, many members Of the assembly
were going armed.
The Whiteside- Ge1ger contest was
decided in the senate yesterday after
noon. Senator Riddell introduced a
resolution declaring that j. H. Geige1
had received majority of votes fo1
state senator in Flathead county and
as such was entitled to seat in the
state senate, which was carried by a
vote of IA to 8.
Mr.. Whlteside made few remarks.

Kindness. and saying it was with NAL
ice toward none and charity to all that
he retired from the senate. Mr.,
Geiger. Whiteside's successor, was then
escorted before the senate, and Lieu
tenant Governor Spriggs administered
the oath Of office. Senator Geiger, on
taking his seat thanked the senate for
the justice shown in the contest and
promised to honestly represent his con
Stituents
Grand jury Report
The grand jury, which had been
called to investigate the bribery
charges, reported, which is in part as
follows: '.We have carefully weighed
all the evidence submitted to us, and
while there has been some evidence
which tends to show that money has
been used in connection with the elec-
tion of U. S. senator, it has been
contradicted and explained in such a
way that all the evidence introduced
before us, taken together, would not
in our judgment warrant a conviction
by trial jury" The grand jury has
not vet completed it's labors, and fur
ther examination Of the bribery charges
will be made before final report is
submitted.

PRICE: $500 A YEAR.

Co.: who has been engaged for some
time in an effort to float sufficient bonds
to realize $500, 900 (this being the amount
required to complete and start the
works. at last wired the long hoped for
information that the necessary funds
had been secured and that work would
be resumed not later thar April 1st.
According to advices received Mr..
Mcdonald, who is at present in Mil
waukee. Wis, has perfected all ar
rangements and the completion of this
gigantic enterprise is now assured.
The resumption of the Quigley mines
means much for Granite county, and
their successful operation will do more
towards encouraging outside capital to
invest in Granite county mining enter
prises than anything else. The oper-
ations of the Golden Scepte- Co. are
known throughout the entire United
States, and the downfall of that com
pany necessarily created some question
in many instances as to the actual value
of the mines, and until successful oper-
alton demonstrates their value future
investments will be retarded to some
extent.
1t is believed that the mines at Quig
ley are among the best and most valu-
able gold properties known, and while
the ore is of IA low grade it is free mill
ing and exists in immense quantities,
which permits operations on large
scale and for that reason more desirable
than a small ledge of higher grade ore
The expense of mining the ore at the
Jumbo mine is very light, since whole
mountain of it is in sight and can be
quarried without handling any waste
whatever. The entire works will be
operated by electricity, which is gener-
ated by water power from Rock creek.
The enterprise is among the largest ever
undertaken in this state and its success
is of unusual significance and import
ance to the resiC ents of this county.
The town Of Quigley during the sum-
mer of three years ago had population
of nearly 1000, which has dwindled
down to about 80 people at the present
time. The resumption will create a
notable change on Lower Rock creek
and it is hoped that the noise of IL
hustling mining camp full of life and
activity will, before many days, again
replace the scenes of monotony and ST
lence now gracing the banks of the
creek at Quigley.

.S7ABBING At GARNET
Thomas H. Mcclure Received Five Serious
Cuts in Saloon Row.
IT MAY RESULT IN HIS DEATH
Four Men Placed Under Arrest and Lodged
in Jail by Constable John ElkinS,
Charged With Assault With In
tent to Commit Murder.

A serious cutting affray over which
at least one man is expected to loose his
life took place at Garnet last Tuesday
evening The trouble started in a
saloon quarrel and Thomas H. Mcclure
was stabbed five times in the body and
shoulders, which will undoubtedly prove
fatal. The parties engaged in the cut
ting are Mike Lavelle John Lavelle,
Dan Mcpherson and Jos. Irwin, all of
whom are now safely lodged in the
county Jail in this city. Constable John
Elkins made the arrest and prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice of the Peace
r A. Childs at Garnet was had, which
resulted in the prisoners being ordered
committed without bail Oh charge of
assault with intent TO commit murder.
The affair threatened to cause lynch
ing bee at Garnet for a time and the
citizens were very much aroused, but
the officers took every precaution and
removed the prisoners to Drummond as
quick as possible, and there they We're
held Wednesday night and on Thurs
days train We're brought to this city by
Constable John Elkins
According to information received
from Garnet yesterday the injured man,
Thomas H. Mcclure. is in a very criti-
cal condition-at the point of death
and no hopes are entertained for his re-
covery
The exact cause that led up to the
trouble has not been learned. but it is
thought to have been nothing more than
a saloon row.
All of the men concerned in the un.
fortunate affair have been residents OF
Garnet for some time and the serious
ending is deeply regretted.

The Cuno.

G.. B. Ballard has force of nine men
employed at the Cuna mine on Hope
hill-seven on day shift and two at
night. Most of the work is being done
at the 14O-foot level, where good deal
OF ore is in sight. The hosting is being
done with whim. Owing to a shut
down of James Patterns Sweet Home
mill where the ore of the Cuno mine is
being treated no ore is taken out at
present. The bins, however, are filled
with ore, and as soon as the necessary
repairs at the mill are completed ore
hauling will again be commenced and
the indications are that the mill will be
kept busy for some time. Substantial
buildings, including shaft and whim
house, stable blacksmith shop, ore bins,
etc, make the Cuno mine a most com

Moose Lake Copper Properties.

According to reports received from
Moose lake, the copper properties i'll
that section are showing up in splendid
shape. Mountains Of ore are in sight
and experienced mining men claim that
as far as developed the Moose lake cop
per properties excel anything known in
the state. Only comparatively small
amount Of work has been performed,
however, and the actual value of the
properties is yet to be determined 1t
is the general belief that if some COM
pany would come into control with suf-
ticlent capital to erect works for the re-
duction of the ore, Moose Lake would
soon be among the busiest mining
camps in the state.

Opposition to the Bounty Law Amendment.

Considerable opposition has developed
over the proposed amendment of the
bounty law. The bill introduced by
Representative Phelps reducing the
bounty on coyotes to 81 will undoubted-
ly be referred to the committee on agri-
culture, with an amendment fixing the
bounty on coyotes and wolf cubs at S2. 80
The wolf bounty will be left at s.. 1t
is argued that the strict provisions of
the bill as to the cancellation of hides
and their Identification, will prevent
any further perpetration of bounty
frauds and that the coyote should be
worth more than 81 when dead.
