More than 20 900 Japanese immigrants
arrived at Hawaii last year and there is
a prospect of even larger numbers for
the present year. There is no special
fault TO be found with this increase to

are good workers, peaceful, orderly,
thrifty, and we are on the best of terms
with them in their own land and else

What's that? An admission from

great reform amalgamation are not
expected to do anything? Surely this
friend of fusion must be mistaken 1t
is only republican party and republi-

for people not expected to do anything !
That is the only party with any author
ity to create sinecure! The amalga.
mated forces of reform are above such
methods! 1t is only practice of cor
ruptionists, boodlers, corporation cormo
rants and pass grabber always to be
found in the republican party The
pure and spotless robe of the reformers
has never been bedraggled by coming in
contact with this sort of tactics. Why,
even the republican party in some stat s
controls transportation boards that do
something and are meant to do some
thing. There is no excuse whatever,
for reformers to drop below republican

THE MINE,

Six miles from Virginia City on the
Madison divide is the Kenneth mine
and mill owned by the Millards, of Oma-
ha. Upon this property over $500, 000.0 90
has been spent in development. 1t is
shut down now that new pumps and a
stronger gallows frame may ibe Installed.
1t is developed now to a depth of 600 feet,
and the manager, w. B.. Willard, intends
to sink to the 1000 level as soon as he
is prepared to handle the water.
During the summer season there are a
dozen outfits at work in the gulch. Just
above the town the Alder Gulch Con-
solidated Mining company is ground
sluicing, n although the ground has
been worked and re-worked, consider
able coarse gold is found. Above this
ground are individual outfits that are be-
ing worked but are only OF a small
scale, SO practically the Whole gulch
from Virginia City to Summit, a distance
of six miles, is being worked.
At Summit there is at present quite
an excitement owing to the discoveries
OF rich gold quartz in several old mines.
G. e. Demours, who has a lease on the
kearsarge, has an exceptionally fine
showing. He has the lead we'll exposed
and a conservative estimate of the ore
in sight woul place the value at about
500, 100000 with no present indications
of a break. Shipments that he has made
to the smelters during the past umIner
ave netted him several hundred dollars
to the ton, While specimens ave assayed
we'll up into the thousands. Another
find is that of Thomas H. Teal and
Spencer H. Ribble on the General Shat
ter, which nearly adjoins the kearsage.
In this locality the Granite Mountain
company owns twenty patented claims,
scme of which have been worked ex-
tensively in the past. This company has
entered into negotiations with the Madi-
son Canyon Electric Power
which if consummated will give Summit
next season a 60-stamp mill operated
by power generated on the Madison
river.
In the gulch below Virginia City, and
opposite Ad%obetoun, l.. A. Fenner is
operating with an appliance of his own
invention for washing gravel. It is oper-
ated by water owe and has the nature
of a mammoth hopper, with cars run
automatically for dumping the gravel
on the tailings pile. He has operated
this plant for a number of years with
results entirely satisfactory. Farther
down, but almost within stones throw,
is the plant of the German Bar Placer
Mining company. The plant is a steam
company has been very successful for
the past three years, although all the
ground has been previously worked.

JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Jefferson is one of the oldest counties
in the state. beginning it's official ex-
istance with the organization of Montana
territory. Many times its boundary lines
have been changed since those days. and
three different seats Of government it has
had. Legislatures have taken parts of
it's original territory to help make other
counties. but with the curtailment of its
area there has been no stopping of is
development, for on the contrary its tax
able wealth is constantly increased ari
its output of mineral wealth has coii-
tinued to grow.
Jefferson county, it may be sad, is
typical of the great state of which 1t is
a part. 1t is not an exclusive mining
county like Silver Bow. nor Is it an eX-
clusively grazing and agricultural cOun-
ty like some of those in the eastern part
of the state. Its are varied.
Mineral it has in abundance, principal
~ in silver and lead rather than in gold,
and recent developments indicate that
it will soon take a prominent place
among the copper producing districts of
the state. 1t may be fairly stated that
It's mineral resources have thus far in
its history only been touched; the deve'-
opment of years will reachitsS~torchouses
of the precious and semi-precious me-
ais. Portions of the county are We'll
adapted to the raising of grain and to
use for general farming. It's many
streams rising in the snow-clad and tim
ber-covered mountain heights of the
main range of the Rocky mountains, the
continental divide, and in the high spurs
therefrom, like the Crow Creek range give
abundance of water for irrigation, and
especially viii this be true when the
plans of the government or OF the state
shall be carried out in the matter Of con-
structing storage reservoirs TO not only
conserve the water supply that runs to
waste with the melting of the snow from
the high mountains when the warm
weather comes, but also 10 thereby help
protect the lowlands OF the lower Mis-
souri, and Mississippi valleys from the
spring foundations that are caused large
~ by the excessive flow from the noun
tain streams. Also the making Of forest
reserves which is a plan OF the general
government receiving the commenda-
ton and approval of all thinking citi-
zens will help materially in the work
mentioned above, for the shadows Of the
virgin forests Of the mountains help to
hold the snow to the time OF year when

HILL MINES.

Mineral Hill district is at present bet
ter known for there the Boss Tweed
and Clipper mines are situated. These
properties are owned by the estate of
the late Henry Filling and w. w. Morris
OF Pony, who gave an option for a bond
to the British North American COM
pany through its agent, the Hon. John
Berkin, for $4,000, the price paid for
the option until January 1st, 1901, being
$lo,o0O cash. The average value ofthe
ore IS low, but the ledge is large, yerv
large, probably averaging so feet be
tween walls at a depth of 500 feet, with
a known ore chute 1,1G0 feet long tina
VIII average in value better than $500.
Ii no hitch occurs in the present negoti-
atoms. Mr.. Berken contemplates the
immediate erection Of a mill with a daily
capacity of 600 tons.
BetWeen Pony and Parrot the valley
is covered with ranches, and a,on~
through this section almost any kind of
fruit or berries may be raised. I'm in
Cedar Hollow about seven miles on the
Pony side of Parrot is the Mayhower
mine, owned by Senator w. A, Clark of
Butte. Everyone knows of the Nav
flower, of it's being passed up' for
years by prospectors as worthless. of
its purchase by it's present owner, and
OF it's marvellous richness.
There is one thing aside from it's gen
eral prosperity, of which Madison
county is proud and justly proud. That
Is of it's schools. For years past it has
been very fortunate in it's superintend =
ents of schools, n the present excel
lent condition, and the high n ri
of the schools bear witness to the ability
of its superintendent. The present in
cumbent, Miss Janet L. Davis, is the
second woman superintendent the coun-
ty has had. At no time since Madison
county has had a school system, has
there been UGH efficiency as at pres
ent. H.
There is one other thing of which thu
county is not proud. 1t has considered
itself always heretofore a stronghold of
republicanism, yet at the past cleo
ton is went very disagreeably demo
cratic and elected only two republican
county officers; one commissioner ana
the recorder.
