GREAT LUMBER INTERESTS.

Next in importance to the products Of
husbandry is the numbering interests of
the county. The Bitter Root branch of
the Northern Pacific, begun in the early
SOS, was constructed primarily to reach
the timber along the west side of the
river, and saw mills have eaten up the
forests and some are still cutting, from
Carlton to Riverside, a few miles north
of Hamilton. The big mills of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company at Ham,
lton were started in 1890, and although
billions of feet of both rough and dressed
lumber have been hauled from them to
Butte, Anaconda, and other points, the
supply of timber in the county south
shows no signs of giving out, and the
company alone has yet enough standing
timber to keep the mills running for
many years. These big mills employ
large number of men, the pay roll being
in the neighborhod of $4,000 month,
and here are turned out all sorts Of lum-
ber-finishing lumber, sash, doors and
blinds, balusters, newell posts and fancy
work of all kind.
For nine years it was the custom of
these mills to cut the timber near the

IDEAL PLEASURE RESORT.
Granite county. aside from being
progressive section, and point wherein
innumerable Investments await the
speculative man, has also within her
borders many places where the tired
business man or the pleasure seeker can
fish and hunt. There are plenty of
ducks, etc, about the different streams
and lakes. and in the hills may be found
bear deer. elk. etc. The Rock Creek Sec
tion--The East. Middle, and West Forks
the Stony Creek and many others, are
noted for the fine trout therein. This
section is but a few hours drive from
Philipsburg. and the trip itself is de-
hghtful one

distance from Philipsburg. its hills con-
tain the game. and its streams have the

OTHER GOOD PROPERTIES.

Following the Bimetallic the Hope has
we'll earned third place, and is noted as
one of the first paying mines discovered
in the state. The Hope Co., of st. Louis.
built their 10-stamp mill at Philipsburg
in 1867 and with the exception Of some
ore from the Granite have worked only
on their own ores from the Hope, Emma,
Jubilee, and Potosi mines in the Hope
hill, the Hope and Jubilee being the
largest producers. The MILL though built
SO early has been constantly improved
and added to in keeping with the ad-
vance which has been made in the bust
ness of milling since those days, and it
is now one of the most complete and
perfect wet-crushing mills in the state

HINTS OF FOUL PLAY.
Congressman Chickering's Family
Scout Idea of Suicide.

Mrs. Charles a. Chickering. widow
of Congressman Chickering. who YVES
found dead on the sidewalk OF tha
Grand Union Hotel New York, tlN
other daay, has issued a statement
signed by herself, her husbands ply.
sician and others. The statement
Eays:
The family, his friends and every
physician who has treated Mr.. Chick
ering. including his home doctor also
the specialist. DR.. hammond of New
York. all have been of one mind
namely, that Mr.. Chickering did not
show any trace or action of insani y
and has not during his illness. Now,
this fact, together with what all his
friends know OF his natural traits, dis
prove any theory that Mr.. Chickering
committed suicide. and because some
New York policemen find mans bCdf
under an Cpea window it is not evi
dence of suicide. AS his illness was
nervousness in the extreme, 1t Is pos
sible that he had a fright from noise
or even an intruder in his room. Us he
was careless in locking his DOORS and
was always careless in his carrying
and handling of money. His family
and friends are in possession of au.
pie proof that Mr.. Chickering did nc+
commit suicide, but was the victim of
a deluson through fright and possible
pain. when alone and away from h s
usual surroundings of peaca, and wa
victim OF foul rlay. The latter the.
Ory has some strong evidence, even il
his watch and some valuables we
not missing. We think Mr.. Chickar.
ing did not commit suicide.
"Ip wDS either knocked nr f1pf,Iun
from the room or frightened into leap.
ing it by the window, by the fire es-
cape. or may have believed he was on
the ground floor easy OF exit"
Captain McClusky. OF the New York
City Detective Bureaau, ridicules the
idea of foul play. He says that no r..
port of any suspicious circum tanc,5
were made to him in regard to
death. The hotel people declare thft

THE FRICk SUIT.
A Great Battle and Possibly a Public
Benefit.

Much interest is taken by naval
officials in the controversy between ii.
G. Frick and Andrew Carnegie. and
also in the reported combination o.
the armor manufacture of the world
to keep up the price OF ar.nor.
The effect OF the suit instituted by
Mr.. Frick upon the arnor question
the authorities say, may be the eStat-
lishment of rival plants. which Will
lower the price Of armor. and which,
consequently, would make ineffective
any world comb nation such as is re-
ported to be forming or have organ
ized.
The sum OF money involved in tho
proposed suit is said to run up to a
gigantic figure. The estimated total
of the Carnegie Steel Company's daily
consumption of coke is 800 cars. The
Frick Company produces about 1900
cars of coke per day, so that three.
fifths of the whole goes to the steel
concern at the 10 wprice of S1.35 per
ton. In other words, the Carnegie Steel
Company. it is alleged, saves from
$4,000 to $4,000 rer day. With the
cost of production. CT freight rates
and other items of expense in tho
manufacture of coke constantly going
up, the minority stockholders of the
coke company say that If the contract
is allowed to run their profits will
eventually be cut to almost nothing.
The suit, then. will ask the Court to
annul the agreement a'togct ther and
relieve them from & sit;at;on that has
been forced uron the by the major
ity holdings.
The thirty or more defendants in
the suit of Henry c. Frick against the
Carnegie Steel Company will make no
special effort to avod d Court service.
The delay in serving the papers comes
from desire to await the fling OF
the suit of Mr. Frick I'd o,h"r stock
holders against the Frich Coke Com
pany.
Andrew Carneglca answcr tc Mr..
Frick's bill il equity will y" inadc in
the shape of a demurrer. I he chs rye
will be denied and the Court as X I'd to
dismiss the rrocee lines. l'hon will
come the real fight of the legal giants
engaged in the case.

THE KENTUCKY FEUD
LATEST PHASES OF THE POLiTi.
CAL SITUATION.

: Il
/ "a New Election Law Wanted
What Both Sides to the Trouble
CLAIM.
Kentucky Democrats have begun a
w and personal attack upon Gov
ernor Taylor and the Republican lead
ers. \ bill was introduced in the
State Senate at Louisville by Senator
Ferguson providing for an approprla-
ton of 100000, to be expended in the
capture and prosecution of the MUIR
derer of William Goebel. This sum is
to be expended in the capture and
likewise the prosecution of the MUIR
derer of William Goebel. This sum
is to be expended under the direction
of John X. Hendrick. G. w. Bradburn
and Joseph X. Lewis, three of Goe-
bels strongest supporters in his last
days
Democrats do not hesitate to say
that no effort or expense will be
spared to implicate some Of the most
prominent men in Kentucky in the as
sassination and republicans speak
openly of belief that the criminal
prosecution of men innocent of any
connection with the crime will be the
next phase of the fight waged against
the Taylorites.
There Is not Democrat In either
House who would deny that the $780,
900 to be expended will be used
against Taylor. The Republicans at
Frankfort are aroused by this meas.
ure and it's introduction has added to
Taylor's determination to oppose his
enemises. Republicans here speak of
the movement as the most monstroua
plot of the long contest.
While awaiting the result of the Re.
publican appeal to Judge Taft for fed.
eral interference In the contest the
Democrats do not seem to have
formed any new plans. Judge Pryor
advised them to begin action In the
State courts to determine the title ia
the Governorship. but they have not
agreed to do so. Now that Governor
Taylor has removed his guards from
the State House iii Frankfort. the
