the fusion millienaires are only inter-

This week the committee visited the

with the company's eastern attorney, Mr..
Warner, and in a consultation between
Messrs. Gushing. Warmer, FoTbis and
Bacorn, it was decided that Mr. Gushing
could not act. being a nonresident of
the state. Accordingly, on March q. a
petition was filed in the United States
court praying for the appointment of u
receiver. Mr.. Forbis appeared for the
complainant and Mr.. Bacorn for the de-
PENDANT. Matters were explained to
Judge knowles. and he appointed the re-
ceiver. with the consent of all parties.
Except as stated in the foregoing, ne
was the only person considered al al! for
the appointment. and instead of his being
indebted to Mr.. Forbis for the appoint
ment, Mr.. Forbis is indebted to him for
a Recommendation to Mr.. Gushing to act
for them in carrying out a previously
arranged plan.
In letters to Judge Beatty and Judge
Knowles. dated Boston. Mass. March II.
1898, President H. r. Crocker, Of the
American Mining and Development com.
pany, stated that a suit was about to be
begun against the company by Mr.. Llv-
ingstone Gushing, in which would be
asked he appointment of a receiver.
I'm the opinion of theh trustees Of the
company" reads the communication,
"such a step has become necessary to
protect the interests Cf the creditors AMI
stockholders; and we desire that Mr.. F.
w. Bacorn. who is at present the secre-
tary and attorney of the company. be
made receiver. We therefore hereby con-
sent in writing, to his appointment"
This letter is now on file in the federal
court and can be seen by anybody who
takes the trouble to investigate the mat
ter. If there is any honest man who has
been led astray and made to believe that
F. w. Bacorn would be merely a repre-
sentative of a corporation on the bench,
he Will take that trouble. Ks for the 9TH

candidate and honest and decent

The cowardly character thug is again
i'm evidence. the drip and the drool Of his
mental sewer beslimEng the names OF
men who are as far above him moral
ly. as-but what's the use of a simile in
showing the difference between a man OF
honesty and integrity and a political as
sassin who skulks in dark alleys and
employs the methods Of the Malta when
ethics demand that he appear in the pub
die arena and show his colors?
w. r. Young, republican candidate for
the s~hrievalty, was the first man to SUIT
fer in this campaign from the foul eman-
ations of some moral pervert's brain, but
a threat to make his identity known
through the medium of the press caused
HIM to creep softly back into his hole in
the alley of SANDER.
Now the same ~disreputable method of
attack has been employed in the case of
F. w. Bacorn. republican candidate for
judge of the district court.
Mr.. Bacorn, so the Slanderer's stor;
runs. owes his appointment as receiver
of the American Mining and Develop
ment company to the friendship and in
fluence of John F. ForIbis. BY some vague
and distorted process of reasoning it is
adduced from this alleged fact that Mr..
Bacorn has some connection with then
mining company. which Mr.. Forbis "ep-
resents. and if elected judge of the dis
ttrict court would do every thing in his
owe to further the interests of that
company from the bench, even to the cN-
tent of violating the letter OF the law.
In the first place Mr.. Forbis is no rela-
ton of Mephistopheles. wears no horns,
and is commonly deemed not only an
able attorney but a gentleman. If Mr..
Bacorn really owed his appointment as
receiver of the American Development
& Mining company to his friendship and
influence, it would not necessarily follow
that Mr.. Bacorn is a tool of any corpora
ton. Any man who would reason other
wise must of necessity be either a po-
litical bigot or a fool Of magnitude even
in Fooldom. .

The price of silver has been steadily
rising recently and a few days ago it
touched GA cents, the highest point it
has reached since 1897. The advance has
been about 5 cents per ounce since last
fall. The recent advance is attributable
to the demand for silver from China and
India. In him the merchants prefer
silver to gold coin. In India the gov
has been a large purchaser.

Captain Trerise of the Madisonian,
who has been in the city on his return
from Utah says that the ore body on the
800 of the Madisonian was from 3 to 5
feet wide, while at the 400 it is between
I and s feet wide. Mr.. Trerise has been
investigating the cyanide process in use
at Mercur, Utah. The Madisonian ore

1t is likely that the ores of the Bear

coarse concentrates are caught on John

fusion managers desire to jolly them
Int the belief that they have 40 money
to spend. Since the first distribution of
the sinews of war. asst Monday, the
fusion people nave been appalled, at the
demands made upon them. Every ward
worker wanted a big wad. Some of them
received as much as 81, 900, while others
only received 500. This unequal distribu-
tion made the latter sore, and there is
the biggest kind of a row in the ranks.
So pronounced has been this feeling that
the financial quarters of the fusion party
We're closed up last night and the state
ment was sent out that no more "sinews'
would be distributed until Monday.
THE FLAMBLowERs.
The fusion people are making desper-
ate efforts to disrupt the Republican
Flambeau club, and not being successful
in this they decided to organize a club
Of their own. A few days. ago a carload
of torches was received in Butte for the
use Of the fusion party. The employees
of the mines owned by the fusionists
We're instructed to get together this
week and drill. They We're told that they
had been given an eight-hour day and
would be required to come down at night
and put in a few ours without extra
pay. in order to learn how to m%anipu-
late the flambeaus and keep step to the
fusion music in the big parade which
will be pulled off before election.
The miners demurred, and explained
that their labors in the mines We're ardu
Gus and that they could not be expected
to put in extra time for political purposes
unless paid for it. The fusionis.s
stormed and swore. They thought the
miners should do the extra work for the
interest of the people who had given
them an eight-hour day until the week
after election. The miners, however,
We're ~obdurate, and SO the matter stands.
BIG FLOATING POPULATION.
Butte has the largest floating popu-
lation just now of any city of it's size
IN the country said a laboring man to-
day. Many of them are not very par
ticular how they vote, so long as they
get a little for it. They care little for
the interests of the community, They
are birds OF passage in every sense OF
the word, but they will all try to vote
this year, as they believe there will be
a few pieces of money floating around,
Inc f~usionists, I know, are making great
EFFORTS to ound up this element. and
their success will depend largely upor
the efforts of the republicans to proven,
the fraud"

smooth green cloth, rather heavy IN
weight. The skirt was plain in front am
opened at each side seam. where it was
secured again with three gold buttons.
The back had small box plat.
The skirt scarcely came to the shoe
tops. and the lining, which was lovely
scarlet, showed ever SO slightly, as though
it were mere cording around the foot
Of the skirt. A red leather belt, from
which hung broad. thick straps Of red
sntin ribbon, was built for carrying the
conyeniences for hunting, including a tiny
red purse for the huntress should she lose
herself in the forest and need aid, and
then there were tiny bags. square and

these were for pocket handkerchief, fan,

There are rocks OF every conceivable

lands of the gods. Some are rough, jagged
and uneven, others round, symmetrical and
smooth as monumental alabaster, while
their coors are as various as their size

The most curious phenomena seen are
the countless wells or basins in the solid
rock These are beautifully symmetrical
in many instances, and vary greatly both
in depth and diameter. Some are from
three TO four feet in diameter. while Others
are no more more than as many inches
The smaller ones look as though they had
been drilled by machinery for the purpose
of blasting, but they are all the handwork
of nature. Perfectly circular with the
walls, as straight as if conformed 20

not the work of man. In making these
wells the water brings to its aid rocks and
gravel. These originally get lodged in a
crevice or sink in the rock, and are
turned and whirIed by the waters, wearing
themselves round and smooth and making
the curious wells in the hard rock In
many of them the process is still going on.

cases these holes extend clean through
