SWIFT R MINES.

Oliver M. Holmes. who, associated
with Mr.. J: H. Calderhead. is doing some
extensive development work in the Swift
Current copper district. In a chat with
a Great Falls Tribune reporter he said
he was running five tunnels and expects
to demonstrate during the next 80 days
that the proposition is one of unusually
high ore values, as we'll as of great mag
nitude.
The district is one of the most rugged
and precipitous of the Rocky mountain
range, the attitudes ranging from 10000
to Il, 900 feet, while the gulches are cut
down to between 1000 and 5000 feet.
This Typographical condition gives UNI
paralleled tunnel Sites, and, as an illus
tration, Mr.. Holmes has 10 contiguous
affOrding a tunnel site about three miles
long and which will have over 1000 feet
overhead.
The two isure veins of the district will
average over so feet in width and show
mineral at any point. The gangue rock
is streaked with bornite, these streaks
running from a sixteenth of an inch in
width to two feet, being streaked with
spar where they become wider. The
gangue or lead filing all shows mineral
ization, even on the surface. The devel-
Opment so far secured is showing the
veins to be mineralized from wall to
wall, the assays running at different
points from 2 per cent to II per cent cop
per, carrying small values in gold and
silver, and the greater depths secured
all show the most flattering increase of
copper values. The ores are wholly free
from the usual deleteriOus substances,
and this is a not inconsiderable advan-
tage.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC ISS6E.

1t is high time for the democratic press
to take up arms in defence of the Chi
nese. They have been bowling over the
invasion of the Philippines by the Amer
lean troops, after our flag had been fired
upon. and insisting that foreign coun-
tries should be let alone There is no
doubt that him would quiet down II
the missionaries located there would
take their departure, and foreign nfu-
ences leave the people to their own sweet
will. But the civilized world refuses to
r%ehnquish any foothold which it ac-
quires on heather soil. 1t was so when
America was discovered and when the
islands of the oceans were peopled ~
the whites. The rule holds sood in the
Philippines and it holds good in China.
But the argument with which Bryan
and his political followers would protect
the Filipinos from the awful fate OF
American civilization, applies with still
greater force to the Chinese. A great
lnation of c~offee-colored h%eathens, rem
dered desperate by superstitious fear of
foreign intrusion, is agitated from center
to circumference, n is laundering
around under the shadows of the war
ships of the world, trying to regain it's
ancient footing and pleading for an OPP
portunity to be let alone. II the demo-
Gratis are so anxious to protect the FIJI
pinos, who have killed more innocent
white persons by far than have the box
of Aguinaldo and his followers to undis-
puted sway, why do they not fly to the
defence of the fiowery kingdom winch Is
about to be divided up n epportioned
among the great powers of the world?
| Why should Bryan remember the Fill
! pinos and the Beers, when harrassed
from without, and refuse to raise his
voice in behalf of the Chinese?
The same principle of self-governrnent
and home-rule. and all that sort of thing,
so fluently e~xpounded by h democratic
press, apply to the Chinese just as much
as it does to the natives Of other coun-
tries. Why do the democrats keep silent
when the local interests of the Chinese
are threatened. b. the gunboats of the
world. when they plead so vigorously for
the assumed rights of the Filipinos? II
the march of civilization is to be de-
plored in the Philippines, why should 1t
be winked at in China? Why cannot the
democratic press be consistent, = nc

TIE MVRPHy

Since the death of the noted John. B.
Cough no man has enjoyed such world
wide reputation as an apostle of temper
ance as Francis Murphy, the originator
of what is known as ''the Murphy O
ment."
This movement has been the most eff
fective in all parts Of the civilized world
of any system devised for the reclama-
ton of men given to the excessive use
of liquors. !" -
It's chief characteristics are opposition
to legal prohibition. and dts sole reliance
upon moral suasion.
Mr.. Murphy recognizes the injury
which prohibitory laws have inflicted
upon the temperance cause and is
strongly opposed to any attempt to reg
ulate the personal habits of men through
statutory enactments.
He has reclaimed thousands upon
thousands of drunkards and brought
Sunshine into numberless homes
throughout the land. by appealing to the
better nature of the man.
There Is no vindictiveness in the ma
ture of this great and good apostle of the
gospel of peace, and he Rnds ready NC
cess to the hearts Of worthy men.

WILD OATS.

It appears that a professor of botany
connected with the State Agricultural
college at Bozeman has gotten himself
into all sorts of trouble because he de-
clared at a farmers institute that with
all his knowledge of the vegetable kind
dom he did not known what wild oats
are.
We cannot see that this statement dis
qualities the gentleman as a botanist.
No doubt he had searched his Latin
dictionary in vain for The scientific nam
of wild oats, finally given up in de-
spair.
He did not know that he could LAY
found out all about wild oats in Butte
in forty-eight hours, had he visited our
city under suitable auspices.
Butte may be a little shy on grass and
trees, and pumpkins in their native
state, but this city will play second fiddle
to lone in the production of wild oats.
Men have been known to harvest
enough of this crop in one day in Butte
to last them the balance of their natural
lives.
The Bozeman professor is doubtless
alfalfa, but while Montana can produce
three crops a year of that style Of hay,
wild oats, as a continuous performance,
can even beat alfalfa.
In Investigating this crop-we refer to
wild oats, not to aIfalfa-the professor
! will find that his knowledge of botany
is not as useful as some technical infor-
nation concerning the Technology Of a
Jackpot.
The opening petal of a flower may be
of great interest to the professor, but the
opening of the Jackpot is of more in
terest to the student of the wild oat
crop.
Had the professor harvested even one
crop of wild oats, of the Butte variety,
he would never thereafter look an audi
ence Of honest farmers in the face and
tell them he didn't know what kind OF
a cereal it was.
However, there should be no criticism
even from a Montana standpoint-of
an educator whose only fault seems to
be a dense and palpable ignorance OF
wild oats.
If Butte had fewer wild oats, and Hell.
ena fewer dandelions, our botanical stu
dents would get along just as well.
If the professor is up on cabbages and
potatoes, and can make two blades OF
grass grow where only one grew before
his lack of technical knowledge of wild
oats may be charged up to his credit.

SENATOR cLARK'S Sc TURN.

The impromptu reception accorded
compliment to the personality OF our
distinguished fellow citizen, but it was,
in a much broader sense, a protest
against the political methods employed
by his party enemies. Despite the fact
that the political machinery of the DEM
cratic party of Butte is in the hands of
Mr.. Clark's most implacable foes, on &C
count of the conditions which give them
IA greater beverage at the polls, the
sympathies of the great body of the
people are with that gentleman as
against the opposing faction of his party.
Those who have no political use for
either wing of the democracy, and who
feel hat both factions have contrib
uted their share to the unhappy condi-
tions in this state, realize thai from all
points of the compass Mr.. Clark is in
finitely superior to those who have so
mercilessly ounde him and disgraced
the state at home and abroad.
Independent observers-candid, intel
ligent men-who would gladly see the
political aspirations of Mr.. Clark or any
other democrat displaced by those of a
republican type, have no hesitancy in
saying that whatever political means
he nay ave employed to advance his
personal interests, they were far less
inimical to the welfare of the
wealth and the good name of the state
than the we'll known methods to which
his democratic opponents continually
resort. When to election frauds of the
most fragrant type, to bulldozing and
coercion, intolerable arrogance and all
the other concomitants of a rule or ruiz
policy, Mr.. Clark's enemies organize a
remorseless and bitter personal fight,
on the grounds that they desire to 'pu-
rify' the politics of thi state, a tidal
wave of disgust sweeps over the COM
munity and a public demonstration in
behalf of the object of their wrath
comes about as a natural reaction.
Whatever blame the public may at
tach to Mr.. Clark, however guilty he
may be in the matter of excessive con-
tributions to the political treasury of
his party co~-workers, it is evident that
a very large proportion Of the citizens
of Butte regard hin as far less culpa-

that Mr.. Clark is still regarded as thu

Burned to Death.

Mrs. Fisher who lived near
Walnut Grove died from being
burnded over the entire body
at Z o'clock last Friday evening
She was putting potatoes on an
open fire to cook for supper when
her apron caught and from that
her entire clothing burned, leav.
ing her body q charred mass of
flesh. She might have escaped
this horrible death but for the
fact that she was holding a baby
in her arms when she discovered
her clothing on fire. She put her
baby out of her arms to save it.
When that was done she could
do nothing for herself. She lived
three hours.
Mrs. Fisher was the wife of
Steve Fisher and daughter of
Marshall Robertson.
