seventh-Many other interesting
suggested by various authorities,
| Guided in a report covering the
| mining industry in its entirety. ,s..z.
| Among these is the suggestion to in
clude technical inquiry into the va
| rious processes of extraction of gold
and silver. such as the cyanide process,
| colonization, the corresponding bros,
| mine process, and even a more exact
| study of ama1gamating methods An

| be still more valuable, viz, to deter
mine the number of persons employed
in mining operations, the wages paid,
and other items of expense leading to
a statement of the cost of producing
| gold and silver: but it seems proper to /
exclude all these subjects. leaving the
technical themes for the papers of
| associations of mining engineers, and :
the consideration of cost TO decen-
NAL inquiry.
The report concludes as follows: No 4
division of the gold product into placer
gold and vein gold has been attempted
for years, yet the continued demand
for this information indicates the ad
visibility of publishing it. Placer gold 4
has in history been the source from !.
which sensationally large supplies of .
gold have come at short notice and
with marked effect upon the gold
market while vein gold has been the
| product of slow development, with the
| investment of much capital and the es- i
| Establishment of contributory industries.
| The Intelligent investment of capigzt
| tai in precious metal mines on bust
| ness rules and without especial specu-
| latiVe excitement depends essentially
upon information impartlally collected
and widely distributed as to the char
acteristics of the ores which furnish
! most gold and silver in each district.
The adapta bility of these ores to variA't'
Gus methods of treatment must be sim 4,
| ply but clearly set forth. This can
| best be done by a few general state-
| ments concerning each camp, showing i
what processes have contributed most
| gold for each kind of ore.
THE information demanded from the !
statistics of gold and silver points us
| to the mines themselves as the neces-h"
sary source. 1t will constantly become ~
more difficult to collect the statistics
| by the present method alone. To COLI
lect them from the mines will be diff
| cult at first, but will steadily grow
easier as the mining interests organize
and consolidate and the proportion fur
| nished by wandering prospectors and i
other small operators grows smaller"
| The director has also prepared for
| Senator Stewart of Nevada a state
ment of his views on economic and
mining geology and on special econom-
| ic Investigations. He also recommends
a museum of practical geology. which
will hereafter be referred to in this corr
| respondence. HOSFORD.

Standard bulletin was received and posted
at $3.50 the night before, arousing a keen

there was consequently a rush for the

that all feel so confident are being used
in connection with the senatorial contest

against the resolution to investigate the
charges of bribery has met with much
unfavorable comment here, as the citi-

the resolution.

Helena, Jan. 10.--After the joint as

forces made a desperate, but unsuc-

taliate. The senate had been in ses-
sion about Is minutes, when the follow
ing resolution was passed up by Sena-
tor Connolly, who introduced it:
Whereas, 1t is commonly rumored
that undue influence is being used on
the members of this legislative assem-
bly, in relation to the election of a
United States senator; and
Whereas, 1t is intimated and
charged and by many believed that
promises of political preferment in the
future are being made to secure the
election of a certain candidate for
United States senator and to prevent
the election of any and all other candi-
dates; and
Whereas, 1t is intimated and
charged that such acts extend to the
unlawful coercion and intimidation of
members of this legislative assembly,
and that a certain great corporation
of this state has indirectly intimated
that a failure by certain members of
this body to perform certain acts will
cause said corporation to use it's po-
litical influence against such individ-
uals in the future, and that such coer-
cion and intimidation have extended to
the extent of indirect threats to ruin
the business and destroy the means of
gaining a livelihood of some members
of the body; and
Whereas, 1t is matter of common
knowledge that undue influence was
brought to bear on the voters of the
counties of Deer Lodge and Silver Bow
to secure the election of certain mem
bers of this legislative assembly. and
that such undue influence consisted of
bribery by the use of money for the
purpose of purchasing votes and coer-
cion by threats made to employees that
if they did not vote for certain candi-
dates, they would be discharged from
their employment; and
Whereas. All of such acts are op-
posed to the spirit of the American in
situations aud if permitted to exist I'M

then we were no pop, anyhow.
But this rear view, that's something
different. There's no deceiving our

picture of spry young man. There's
no youth nor beauty nor comeliness
