product; but he also declared that the
trust would have nothing to do with
the proposed organization. 1t is will
ing that the producers should accom-
plish the desired results themselves.
With ali the state organizations
completed, the next move would be to
form a parent organization with head
quarters in New York, each state or
several states being represented there
by a thoroughly responsible represen-
tative.

Then the nlan would be for each pro

being used to cover all losses that
might occur in case the exported pro-
duct is sold under the cost at home.
Money From Producers.
A sliding scale would probably be
adopted, beginning at S425 per leo
pounds. With lead selling at that price
the producers would contribute 81 per
ton for the metallic contents; when
the local price is $3.50, the contribution
would amount to 81 per ton for the
metallic contents and when the local
price is S465, or better the tax would
be So per ton, so on a whole, the
amount exacted from each mine owner
would be comparatively small, but it
is believed from careful figurings
made by those in touch with the pre-
vailing conditions. would be sufficient
to maintain the prices desired

The cad producers of TIE United

combination that will result in the
price of their product being kept at a
figure where profit viii come from. the
working of their mines.
Yesterday the producers of Utah met
in this city and took preliminary steps
toward forming an organization whose
purpose would be to assist in the move
ment.
The recent drop in the price of lead
has brought about this action, and the
great producers Of the country realize
that something must be done, and at
once.
Now these the miners propose to buy
up all the surplus lead in the United
States and ship it into the foreign mar
ket. leaving only lead enough in this
country to supply the demand.
It is an immense undertaking, and
Will cost a large sum of money, but
the producers are satisfied that 1t can
be done, and realize that it is neces-
sary. AS Mr. j. r. Bamberger said at
the meeting last night.

prices. the mine owners of Utah are
losing between $4,000 and $4,000 every
month,
Price Can be Put Up.
Mr.. Bamberger said there is a way
that the price of lead can be put up to
where it was a few weeks ago, but it
must be done by the producers effect
ing an organization, not only in this
state, but in every state in this country
where mines producing lead are being

In the Occur d'AIenes the mine own

movement is being made in Montana,
Colorado and. other intermountain
states, and the Missouri mine owners
have signified their willingness to join
in the movement
The surplus lead of the country
must be gotten rid Of in some way, Mr..
BambeFger said, and if tna producers
win work in harmony, it can be done
to advantage, and the local price of the
metal kept at figures that viii fiuctu-

The prices that prevailed for the
past few months were maintained by

The Anaconda Standard publishes an
article from the pen of Robert j. Hamil
ton, of Browning, giving his ideas on the
Indian problem. from the Indians stand
point. The article is too long for us to
reproduce, but we notice a paraphrase
on Bryan's "cross of gold" which is not
bad. Speaking of the reservation sys-
tenn, be says: at is an institution where
the Indian is a victim of the Indian
agent, who crucifies the red man upon
the cross of the ration ticket, and crowns
him with pauperism." He also adj
vocates the common school system, and
if he means the abolition of the existing
government schools, and the substitution
therefor of the good old district school
we heartily agree. IL school houses
were placed at convenient distances
throughout the reservation, and the
children allowed to live at home instead
of being bundled off a hundred miles
from their parents and cuffed around by
"disciplinarians, the cause of Indian
education would advance. The district
school vas good enough as a starting
point for our greatest men in all the
walks OF life, and it is good enough for
the Indian.

The audience has been expressing re-

now favor us with one Of your songs?"
The stranger looked up at. the young
man with rather a startled air and then
blurted out:
Song! Mister, you've rounded up
the wrong critter. I don't know G from

see, and was wondering what kind of a
game was on in here and came in soci,
