Let the Good Work Go On.

We are pleased to note that much
good is being accomplished by The Mail
and that many former democrats Of
Granite county are being added to the
rank and file of the republican forces
The public realizes that republican
government has brought prosperity to a
poverty stricken country, and our citi-
zens are prompt in affiliating with a
party which has fulfilled its promises
and caused the return Of good times.
The Mail will always be found on the
right track and the citizens of Granite
county can safely follow its lead, and
by supporting the principles advanced
in its columns success will be the re-
suit Realizing the popular sentiment
throughout the country, our contem-
porary (at one time among the most
radical democratic publications in the
state) has commenced to render much
valuable assistance in this direction by
circulating one of the leading republi-
can newspapers of the Pacific coast as
premium to subscribers. 1t is a COM
mendable piece Of work and strikes a
popular chord among republicans Of
Granite county. The paper referred to
is the San Francisco Bulletin, firm ad-
vOcate Of expansion and republican
principles generally, and we can assure
our democratic friends that no harm
can possibly come to them by reading
this popular republican journal. The
expressions of the democratic press have
become somewhat Of a chestnut and
western people (who are naturally pro-
gressive) desire to read something else
occasionally that is in harmony with
the true western spirit rather than the
same old dry-rot arguments of democ-
racy. There is no doubt that our con-
temporary has found it impossible to
give away democratic paper, espec-
tally one that is known to be opposed to
expansion-the people will simply not
have it, and we would not be surprised
to see our contemporary come out later
on in favor of expansion and supporting
the principles of the republican party.
An editorial expression of the Call in
one of its recent issues, Wise men
sometimes change their minds, fools
never do, appears to corroborate oul
well-grOunded belief.

RAPIDLY FORGING AHEAD.
Fred A. Beley Reports Great Activity in
Eastern Montana.

Fred A. Beley the well-known Phil
lpsburg business man, returned Friday
from visit to relatives in the eastern
part of the state. He spent some time
in Livingston and Big Timber, and in
conversation with Mail representative
stated that business was very active in
those places-amounting to wnat might
be termed boom. He said he was
agreeably surprised at the evident pros
perity of the eastern part of the state
generally. Everybody seemed to have
lots of money and We're making money,
and from conversations with different
persons he learned that such condition
prevailed throughout the entire eastern
part OF the state. Business blocks and
dwellings were being erected and other
evidences of prosperity We're visible on
very hand. Large irrigating canals
are beng constructed to reclaim thous-
ands of acres Of arid lands, and railroad
and other enterprises We're being pushed
with vigor. He was particularly inn
pressed with the business activity of
Livingston, which gave very unmis-
taxable evidence of prosperous sur
roundings and was rapidly forging
ahead in the list of Montana cities.

Office in that city. He is expected to
come to this part of the country as soon
as conditions are favorable for resump-
ton.
Some time ago Mr.. Glenn bought the
Orphan Boy mine, III the same district,
which is located about fourteen miles
from Philipsburg, and also the Cameron
1O-stamp quartz mill. Last spring he
had erected fourteen large steel tanks
for the cyanide process on the latter
property, and it is likely that they,
with the milling plant, will be put into
active service this season. Mr.. Glenn,
it is said, is now negotiating for the
purchase of additional property in the
same section, and if he is successful,
which seems probable, his holdings will
be quite extensive. Mr.. Glenn's son,
Wilbur, together with his young wife,
are now at the property and the young
man is looking after his fathers inter
ests in that section. They have been
there for about yea.
Report has it that the former book
keeper for the company, Mr.. Madden,
will have charge Of the property when
it starts up again, in the capacity of
superintendent.
l.. '. Loomis, the promoter of the
Gold Coin property, is now at Andover
Mass, with his family, where his chill
dren are attending school. He will be
out to inspect the property this spring.

they had the moral support of our en-
tire mining section.
There is no room in mining camp
for the claim jumper and mining
blackmailer, and we extend our hearty
sympathy to any mining camp SO
afflicted, and would suggest to the
mine owners of the Republic and other
new mining districts, that they emu

ing district, and quietly as we'll as
effectually enforce the common law of
self protection by taking the mine
jumpers, now a disturbing element in
their midst, well out of camp, and
turning their faces toward Dawson
City, tell them to move northward and
return no more.

THE GOLD COIN PROPERTY.
1t Is Said That Operations VIII BE Resume ed
on 1t This Spring.

Work will undoubtedly be resumed
on the Gold Coin property early this
season-just as soon as the snow dis
appears sufficiently to permit of travel
and the getting in of supplies. 1t it
said that the property was looking ex-
cellent when it was closed down last
fall, the shutdown being due to dis
agreement among the stockholders.
The property is a gold proposition,
equipped with an up-to-date 2O-stamp
mill, air compressor, steam drills, and
in fact everything that goes with a
modern gold quartz layout.
w. D. Glenn, who is one of the prin-
cipal stockholders, will control the stock
in the company when operations are re-
sumed. Mr.. Glenn is Cincinnati gen
tleman of wealth and is we'll qualified
as regards education and experience to
take complete charge of the plant and
carry it to dividend-paying basis if
anyone can. He is president of the

J. G. Mcleod, the popular merchant,
took the train Wednesday for visit to
his mining property in the Harvey

ferred by team to the mines. 1t is said
that recent disclosures in the property
have deeply interested Mr.. Mcleod and
that his visit is due to that fact. The
deep snow in the mountains makes it
impossible to go direct by team to the
Harvey Creek district, as is generally
done, and has compelled the round

Doubling the Capacity.

Cyrus c. McCarty has been quietly
doing some business down on Houth
street in the carriage and blacksmith
line and he is now getting ready to
do more. A year ago he erected a
twO-story building $3.50 feet and or-
cupied the lower floor with his black
smithy and the upper floor was used
by Ralph Thrasher with his paint
shop. And now Mr.. McCarty has
started an addition, exactly the same
size of the present building, making
the whole 28x100 feet. rhis has been
made necessary by the growth of the
business, which is glad news to the
owners many friends. 1t is only
matter of time until the shop which
has already turned out several hand
some wagons, will be doing regular
carriage manufacturing business,

growth is nm evidence of the coming
of that time.
